And welcome back to another episode of When Reality Hits. I hope everyone has had a wonderful week. We've had a crazy couple of weeks. A lot of fun, amazing things have happened and went on. If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that Cruz and I got to go to the Toy Story 5 premiere and we had the best time. Cruz got to walk the red carpet with me and he was having a bullet. blast. He had such a great time. And it was just a mommy son, date night. So it was just him and I.

Yeah, he's here. So he is excited hearing about Toy Story. But we had such a great time. And it was so cute seeing him walk the red carpet. He's got his little Getty images, photos and everything. And he looked adorable. We got to be in the theater with everybody watching Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Taylor Swift was there. They sang, you got a friend in me and her new song as well. So everyone was so excited about that. And it was just a fun time. Cruz had the best time watching the movie.

It was just so cute. And we're actually going to go see the movie again because that theater had like hundreds of people in it. So I'm going to take Cruz back. So we can actually watch it and have, you know, a little bit more. more of a sensory friendly experience so he can watch it again. It's so crazy because I grew up loving and watching Toy Story. It's been on for years and years and years and years and now Cruz loves it too. So we always, the day of and the day before, we were watching all the Toy Story's movies to get him excited. And I could tell that he just loves seeing Woody and Buzz and everybody.

And it takes me back to his second birthday party whenever he was just two years. old. He's five now, so time just flies so fast. But we had that to infinity and beyond party, and he was dressed up like Buzz Light Year. I was Bo Peep. And it just brings back so many good memories. And the new movie having like the iPad and stuff taken away from the toys and seeing how all the kids are just on their iPad not playing with it. It's just so sad. But it's such a good movie. Yeah? You loved it, didn't you buddy? Yeah? He said, yeah. But yeah, it has such a good message. Those are just the best movies. But we had such a fun time. It was a great time to just take crews out and we got to do that together and it was so special. It was kind of like a full circle

moment because I grew up watching those movies. So it was really, really special to me just like it was for him. It was a great day. And also, we had Jasmine and Melissa's wedding. It was so beautiful. So we traveled to New Jersey because both Jasmine and Melissa are from New Jersey. So all of us went up to New Jersey. They had a beautiful venue. I was a bridesmaid. I was so honored to be chosen as a bridesmaid. And Zach was a bridesman or a groomsman.

I guess bridesman, yeah. Zach was a bridesman. And Kristen was a bridesmaid too, as well as Sheena and our friend Elaine and just so many other people. There was a lot of people from Bachelor Nation. There was a lot of people from Bravo, of course. There was a lot of people from Jasmine's past because she was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and she was on that TV show, which Jasmine's been on the show many times when we talked about it. But she was also on the Dallas Cowboys cheerleading show that used to be on TLC. So there was a lot of different people from that and it was cool for all of us to mesh together.

Alexis Waters is hilarious. She was on the same season of The Bachelorette that Jasmine was. So it was just a fun time. and we did like a little TikTok where it was that it was that TikTok with a voiceover that's like who are you and they're like I'm Pam who are you and they're like this is I'm the owner of this house so we did it like a back and forth with like Bravo versus Bachelorette with like me Zach Sheena and Kristen and then like Alexis and different people from the Bacheloration so that was fun but their wedding was so beautiful the brides were both.

so chill. They were not bridezillas whatsoever. It was just very calm and peaceful and beautiful and full of love. And I am so happy for them. Congratulations, Jasmine and Melissa. Their love was just so, like, beautiful to witness. And their families are just so incredible. And just hearing all their parents talk about them and their love and all the love and support and everything. It was just so beautiful and the after party was great. Everybody from our cast on the Valley was there except for Michelle and La La La, but they had other things that were happening at the same time, unfortunately, or else I'm sure they would have been there. But yeah, I was just full of love and we had such a fun time. And it was great to see Sheena again because, you know, I love Sheena, but I don't

get to see her as much right now as I normally did. So it was fun for all of us to be able to hang out. Yeah, hang out together again. And of course I missed my cruisy, but I was only gone for two days in Jersey. So it was a quick trip, but it was so gorgeous. And just the bridesmaid sweet and everything, we got ready all together. And the bride just looks absolutely beautiful. Jasmine's dress was so iconic. It was so beautiful with the, you know, princess skirt and the sleeves and everything.

And Melissa's was more like just straight and beautiful. and they like complimented each other so well so you had to check out all their photos and stuff it was just a wonderful night one of the best weddings i've ever been to probably the best wedding i've ever been to so um i'm so happy for them again congratulations guys i love you all and that was just so beautiful to see your love in front of everyone we filmed the reunion for the valley this week and shoo the anxiety is running high i mean getting the outfit together. I ordered my dress for this reunion like two months ago. So I saw something I loved on Instagram and it is just a beautiful, like from an Instagram post with this company. And it is just

a beautiful dress. I can't wait for you guys to see it. Kyle Chan is giving me a beautiful jewels to wear. The necklace was worn by Paris Hilton. And my earrings were worn by Taylor Swift. So that's super cool and hopefully going to be a little good luck charm for me. So that's awesome. Of course, anytime we're going into filming the reunion, anxiety is so high. Even though we filmed a while ago, we're watching all the episodes. We get all of them so that we can watch them all before the show. So we're all busy watching all the episodes.

And it's just like the anxiety builds up. I hope everything goes good. I want nothing more than everybody to get. along and you know stuff to be better after the reunion so we can all get back together but you guys will be seeing more about that soon so all this is happening right now and it's just been a great couple of weeks a lot of fun stuff happening cruise is doing amazing um it's summer break so we're going to be doing a bunch of fun stuff i'm wanting to take another trip to kentucky with him even though we just got back from a trip to kentucky but we didn't get to stay very long we only

got to stay for four nights because of work and stuff, so we had to come back. So I want to take him again so we get to have more time. I didn't even get to see my friends from back home last time I was there. It was a lot of time just spending with my family, which is awesome. I love that for my nephew, Luke's graduation. And I love going home for Fourth of July. So I think that we're going to try to make it and try to do a trip here soon. Cruz also thrives in Kentucky. He has the best time he loves being on the farm with all the horses and the chickens and everything else.

And he loves to run and jump and play. So it is the best time ever. All right. A bunch of you guys wrote in questions for me to answer. And I always appreciate that. I love you guys for the support. So let's get into some of these questions. This is from Grace v.

are you in a relationship? I get asked this question every single time. No, I am not a relationship. I am single. I am focusing on myself and, you know, just having fun and living life. And me and Cruz are just, you know, two peas in a pod. So we're just, you know, working on his therapies and everything. And he's doing so good.

And I'm, you know, still healing myself, but doing so much better even from what you saw on this season. Like, I'm just in such a great place. So, you know, I'm having fun. I've got some crushes and stuff like that, but nothing serious yet. So, you know, I don't really need a boyfriend. We all saw how that went down for me. It was very short. I don't even really count that as a relationship.

But still, it didn't work out too well for me. So I'm taking my time. This is from all 722. Do you think you'll ever move back to Kentucky? I love Kentucky. If I ever moved back, it would be like years and years. down the road. I would probably live in Lexington, which is connected to Winchester, my hometown. I just love being around my family and my friends, and Cruz has a lot of friends there. But as

for now, he has amazing therapies and stuff here. And obviously, my work is here. And I love my house, and Cruz is just doing so good and thriving here. So I don't want to mess up anything in that routine. And I've got amazing friends here that have become family. So I don't see myself moving anytime soon. And obviously, I hope the Valley goes on for years and years and years and years. I love doing my podcast. I love getting to do all the different fun stuff that LA has, but I definitely miss my family all the time. And it's my dad's birthday this week. So happy birthday to my dad. I love you and I miss you and I'll see you again soon. This is from Anna Salle 94. What's something you have learned about yourself after the divorce?

I have learned a lot about myself a lot. I think, you know, I definitely learned my strength. I definitely learned that I was able to get through a lot of hard times and take care of everything and just feel confident and stuff and really regain my confidence and work through everything that happened and come out stronger on the other side. So I'm very, very proud of myself for that. And, you know, it's been a lot of ups and downs still are a lot of ups and downs but i just feel like i'm in such a better place now and things are looking really good so i'm happy about that okay this is from nicolette 7-1209 cruzzie cruzies blue raspberries um how are you feeling since the surgery is the sparkle fully reloaded i am feeling so good since my surgery i think it looks amazing and it's really

motivated me to also lose weight and get back in the gym and work out being in the gym always helps me mentally as well, helps me feel better about myself. So I am also been losing weight. I probably lost, gosh, like at least 15 to 20 pounds since I filmed last season. So I am feeling wonderful. I was not prepared for all of the fat shaming that I have been receiving on social media. God forbid, a woman's weight fluctuates whatever they're going through some of the toughest times in their life. My weight has always fluctuated. It's always, been up down, up down, up down. And, you know, I can see myself.

I can tell, like, I wasn't as skinny as I would have liked to have been, but I was not prepared for all of the comments and the fat shaming and everything. And, you know, that's just something I wish would stop. We shouldn't have to deal with that kind of stuff in the world. Like, you don't know what somebody is going through behind closed doors. Even me. I show so much in my life, but there's still so much that you guys didn't get to see that I was going through, you know, while.

we were filming and even now that I can't really talk about. So there's just been a lot. So the fat shaming comments were a little bit of a surprise to me. But listen, love your body. Like, yes, I got a mommy makeover and everything else, but I'm so proud of my body. Like, I did that for me to get my confidence back as we're talking about my sparkle. And it was just such a big thing for me, not just like physically, but emotionally. And that really helped me with so much more than I can truly explain unless you've ever been through what I have or, you know, gone through the experiences that I have. But be proud of your body. Don't let other people get to you. I try not to let things soak in, but I see it on other people. Like on my page, for the most part, people are just so kind

and so nice. And I love that. And it means so the world to me. But then if you go to like someone else's page like bravos or this or that, like the fat shaming comments were just ridiculous. So as women, you need to lift each other up. I know I say this all the time, but lift each other up. Women's bodies fluctuate. It's okay. Everyone doesn't have to look exactly the same. You know, I like being curvy. I don't think that I look great, you know, really, really, really skinny. I like my curves. I like looking like a woman, you know. So, you know, I just lift each other up, guys. If you're skinny, beautiful. If you're bigger, beautiful. All bodies are beautiful.

How's your piece today? My piece is so much better. I have been working really hard. to protect my peace. And I know we've talked about my Amazon show that is going to be coming out soon.

It was a wellness retreat. And I got to work on a lot of myself on that show. It was very fantastic. And a lot of it taught me how to protect my peace and not be reactive and set a lot of boundaries. So I am feeling so much better. And I will protect my peace and my son's peace every single day, always. Okay, this is from April Fisca, MUA. What kind of brand glitter did you use on last Mexico episode on the Valley? So good. Gosh, I wish I knew exactly. I definitely got it off of Amazon. So if you go on Amazon, there's so many different things that you can find. I wish I knew exactly what it was, but of course we filmed that a while ago. So I don't have it on me. But even just going on Amazon, you can find so many things on there, so many different sparkles. But

that was fun. I love being able to go for a theme. You guys know me. I love a theme. This is from DeWash Star. Why don't you go on a GLP1? I mean this in a very kind way. Comments like that don't really come across as a very kind way, just so you know. But I actually am on a GLP1, and it has helped me tremendously. And I will be sharing that story very soon. Join Fridays. It's been incredible for me. It's really helped me lose the weight. I'm a stressful eater and anxiety eater. So that has really helped me. And my mom makeover, again, has motivated me to do all these things and get in the gym and just focus on my health. So trust me, I am. It works so great for Kristen and Jasmine and Zach. And it's working very well for me too. So I'm very happy with my

results and I'm going to keep going. This is from Laura Schneider 21. Why are you still talking about your ex and everything he's done to you? Girl, move on. And by the way, this girl wrote me a bunch of mean stuff, but I'm just going to comment back on that one. I am not talking about that a lot. I am filming a show where you watch my life. This is my life. It's not like I, like, poof, it just magically disappears because that person isn't filming like, this is my life. And if I'm asked questions and interviews, I answer questions about my life. So I am moved on big time. I am going to even stop even talking about the situation because I am just so over it and want to move on and be happy and focus on just the positive in my life. But you have to remember you're watching a show

about my life. I don't get to pick and choose what happens in my life. Like it is what it is. And I'm an open book and I share and show everything. And I know I have so many people that support me and that journey and everything. But comments like that just, you know, I'm going to answer you because you're watching a show about my life. So things that happen in my life are going to be on the show. I hope that answers your question about that. This is from Page Loved by Ollie. What's your favorite show of all time?

Oh, gosh, of all time. Oh, I have so many that are like all-time favorites. Of course, like the office and friends. I love those shows. I even love like Family Guy and America Dad. Like these are like background shows. Sex in the City. I love that as well.

I also, if I had to pick like a all-time favorite, like once upon a time, such a great show. I love, you know, fairy tale stories and that's, you know, goes back to like Snow White and and everyone else. And it's just such a great, a great story. They don't know that they're these princesses. It's really cool. And then Desperate Housewives. Desperate Housewives has always been one of my go-to shows that I can re-watch,

re-watch, re-watch, just like Once Upon a Time. Actually, now that I'm talking about Once Upon a Time. I'm about to rewatch that. And it's so funny, the girl that used to be my neighbor, she's already moved, but she played Snow White's mom in Once Upon a Time. So that was really cool. Whenever I first met her, I was like, oh my God, you were on Once Upon a Time. That's one of my favorite shows in all time.

If you haven't watched Once Upon a Time or Desper Housewives, you have to. I mean, I feel like everybody's watched Desper Housewives, Evil Angoria, you know, everybody. But Once Upon a Time is one of those shows that I could rewatch over and over. And I'm definitely going to get back into that after this podcast. top not nails what's your taco bell order i love that because even from vader pump rules back in the day we always loved our taco bell that was something like me and katie especially we loved taco bell um but everybody loves it christin i mean everybody my taco bell order i actually got to go

for a friend's giving at taco bell they took us in like a taco bell party bus we got to go to where they um like the chefs who actually make the food and the menu and everything we got to go there and be there with them, be there with them and like try the food off of the tasting orders and all that stuff. So it was a cool thing with the Friendsgiving. They gave out like PlayStation's. It was neat. But my Taco Bell order is I love just like a chicken cassidia. And I love getting the extra creamy jalapeno sauce. And I do soft shell taco no lettuce. and I love their nacho cheese, just like the nacho cheese dips and the Fiesta, the Fiesta cheesy potatoes, is that what they're called?

That's like my kind of go-to order, but I like so much stuff on there. Taco Bell. I had a, me and Katie and Jackson Tom, we all did like a Taco Bell big commercial a long time ago, and that was so fun. This is from Rosalie, R-DMS. I'm six weeks post-Tummituck. Do you get swollen at night? definitely yeah definitely whenever I was around that time I was getting swollen at night year

it takes a long time after your tummy tuck mommy makeover whatever you want to call it it takes a long time for the swelling to go down and the doctors prepare you for that so swelling doesn't truly go down until like at least a year out and I haven't even hit that year mark yet I had my mommy makeover done in October or yeah the very beginning of October So October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June. So I am at eight months out right now. And I can definitely tell the swelling has gone down a lot. But you can still, the swelling can still keep going down even over that much time.

So it will take a while. I definitely feel like at night maybe I was more swollen or if I was more active throughout the day in the beginning, you know, it could be a little bit rough and a little bit more swollen. But that's normal and it will go down over time. This is from Ari Kester. How long after surgery was the Mexico trip? I was literally two weeks to the day post-op. So that was really rough. I was like, my friends better love me because I am making it to this trip. I was in a wheelchair, everything. Like, I went to Mexico two weeks after. That's why I kind of took it slow a little bit. But I was trying to also have fun. I hadn't really gotten to do much for two months. So you'll see, it was a good time. It was a really. good time but I've trucked through for my friends that's for sure um this is from abla croix o four i'm getting a breast reduction hardest part of recovery as a toddler mom the hardest part for me is you can't lift your kid for a little while so even though cruise was at my house and with me every single day

i was like missing him so much i was with him all every day he was you know around all the time but I didn't get to like pick him up and wrestle with them and play with them and do those things. And I had some mom guilt that I didn't expect. So I think that that is the hardest part about it. But we also have to remember if it's going to make you feel better and help your confidence and help you feel better as a person, you being happier is only going to make you a happier mom, which is going to make your child happier as well. And it's only a short period. It's only a short period of time.

It's not forever. So you have to remember that as well. But yeah, I definitely had a little bit of mom guilt while I was going through that. But he was bringing me like flowers. He was going outside and picking roses from my rose bushes outside and bringing them in a little vase and changing them out like every couple days and giving me all the loves and kisses. But yeah, I definitely just missed not being able to roughhouse and play with him as much as I would. Blue Dahlia 7. Why didn't Michelle go to Jasmine's wedding?

So Michelle and Jessie obviously have a daughter, Isabel. So Jesse and Lacey were going to go to the wedding. Michelle was like thinking about going to the wedding, of course, but she ended up staying and watching Isabella so that Jesse and Lacey could go. And then she literally was on Watch What Happens Live right after. So she had to be in New York to film Watch What Happens Live. So it just didn't work out with them for that family. But, you know, she sent a gift.

She loved them and all that stuff. But that's what happened. And I'm sure she will explain more in detail. to come. This is from Hair by Shell Jay. You're a great mom. Thank you, girl. Would you ever want another child if you were in the right relationship? I love kids. I absolutely adore kids. I've always wanted so many kids. I love all my friends' kids. They all think I'm their aunt. I just think children are wonderful and I've always just wanted to be a mom and I am a mother to my beautiful cruise. So if it doesn't happen for me, that's okay. If I was in the right

relationship. My picker is off bad, y'all, as you know. My picker is not good. It would have to be somebody very, very, very special. And, you know, I'm just going to see where God takes me and what happens in my life. Because right now I have no idea what's going to come next. And I'm kind of just, you know, taking every day as they come. I wouldn't be against having more children. I would never say, no, I wouldn't. And of course, if it happened to me, I would be so overjoyed and so happy as well. So it could go either way, honestly. And I do love being a mom. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

And it brings me the most happiness and joy ever. I don't even like being away. I don't even like being away from my cruisy for two days, do I? He's my little best friend. He's sitting right here with me, so I keep talking to him. Can you say hi? Hi. Say hi.

He's going out to the microphone like he's going to say something. and he's doing so good with his speech. He does say hi. He can say mommy. He says mommy. He says all kinds of different stuff now. So we're working on this speech constantly. But he's looking like he wants to be on the podcast.

And I fully believe he will be able to be on my podcast one day. I'm going to manifest that, put that in the atmosphere. Ask God. Ask everybody. Like, I just know that he's going to be able to talk on my podcast one day. Right, buddy? Ashley Peschal, 2024. Do you miss the southern parts and what it would be like raising kids in your hometown?

Yeah, I'd actually do. Like I said, like Cruz has amazing therapists and everything here that he's working with. So he is doing great here. But it's definitely way different in L.A. than it would be back home in Kentucky. You know, I grew up where in my hometown you had one high school, you know. You went to the elementary school or the middle school that would. was closest to your house and we only had like two of each, you know, but only one high school.

So there wasn't all these choices and all this stuff. Everybody knew everybody. And that was an amazing thing. And of course, times were just different back then, you know, but I do miss that kind of stuff. And of course, just the family aspect being around my family. But I make sure they come see me all the time and I go home. But it's definitely a lot different here. My dogs are going crazy because we are setting up for. We are setting up for. for Kaya's birthday party. We're going to have it at my house. I can't believe that she's one years old,

but the people are going in and out of my backyard. So my dogs are going crazy. Can't believe Kaya's already won time flies. I'm so excited to have her birthday party. It's going to be so fun. You guys know I love parties and themes, so it's going to be a good time. Today's episode is sponsored by the ASPCA

But good news. That might be the best thing to ever happen to your priorities.

I've spent years at the bedside and what I've learned is simple. People don't usually regret the big things. They regret the small things. They regret the things they didn't say. Mind you podcast, It's Okay, We're All Gonna Die, is where we talk about the stuff everyone avoids. Death, dying, and all of those, we should probably talk about this someday conversations. So if you're looking for something that will help you, check out It's Okay, we're all going to die. A gentle reminder that even the hardest topics can bring us closer together.

Out now, wherever you get your podcast. This is from Sarah Dom K. Are you actually still friends with Brandon like he says online? Yeah, I mean, I don't have any ill will towards him. We were friends for years and years and years from back from the Kentucky Day. So it didn't work out with us. And obviously, and that's okay. I didn't really think it was going to be a forever thing anyway.

but, you know, it was just something fun for the time, and I don't hate him or anything. I didn't like some things that I saw, obviously, that I was not aware of watching the show back. But I don't hate him, and guess we're still friendly, but we don't see each other or anything like that whatsoever. This is from W. Events 2010. What's the most Kentucky thing about you that hasn't changed since becoming famous? Oh, am I famous? That's weirdest thing. I mean, obviously my accent.

My accent's crazy. Crazy. Come here. Obviously, my accent. My accent is never going to go anywhere. And a lot of people are like, you've been in L.A. for over 10 years. How do you still have your accent?

It's because I talk to my family all the time. And they all have accents too. So my accent is not going anywhere. That's definitely Kentucky about me. Also, I just think, like, being kind to everybody, you know, waving when somebody, little stuff like that you don't realize until you move from like a, small town in Kentucky to a big town like L.A.

Like in Kentucky, if you let someone over whenever you're driving in the car, they wave at you or, you know, just somebody's on their tractor and they wave at you and you're in the grocery line and you talk to the people or you're in the elevator and you say, hello, good morning. I still like to do all those things. But it was weird whenever I came to L.A. and realized that nobody did that. Nobody really does that. I'm not saying everybody.

Of course, some people still do that. But it was a big difference for me whenever I moved. tier. And of course, I just still love, I just still have a lot of the same morals and everything that I grew up with and, you know, just trying to see the best in everybody and everything. So I think I still got a lot of Kentucky in me, and that is not going anywhere. And I'm very proud of that. This is from Simone Paulson-01. Would you come to Australia? Love from Australia. I would love to go to Australia. That is, even whenever I was a little girl, and we made those like poster boards that We would cut out from magazines and all that stuff, like different words and just different stuff

that we were manifesting. I don't even know if I knew it was manifesting back then, but we were manifesting what we wanted our future. I always had Australia on the board. I always had like Yorkie dogs, which I have a Yorkie Kingsley. And there was so much other stuff. But I have always wanted to go to Australia. So, of course, I would go in a heartbeat.

This is from Jen Lynn B. 509. What's the biggest misconception people? have about you. If I had to say, I mean, just from like what people have been saying, like just from what I've seen what people have been saying, I get a lot of comments, like, I'm not a good friend and stuff like that. And that is so beyond the truth. Like, I love my friends.

I am there for them always. They're there for me always. And I just don't understand that comment. And if you ask any of my friends, they're not going to agree with that, no matter what you think or Saul or whatever. So I hate that that is even going around about me because that's not my personality. I love everybody. I want nothing but the best for every single one of my friends, whether that's my L.A.

friends, my Kentucky friends, anybody. Like, I will always support and lift up and be there for my friends no matter what. And also just I think a lot of people take my kindness for weakness. And I ain't no weak girl, okay? So we got to remember that. People can be kind and wish nothing but the best for people and see the best in everyone and still not be weak. doesn't mean my picker's great though this is from

Nicole L.A loving the new hair would you ever try red I don't know if you guys have seen but if you follow me on Instagram you'll see that my hairstylist Bradley hair by Bradley Leak he just gave me some blonde in my highlights I want for the reunion I want to

you know come out with a little bit different look I've lost weight I you know I wanted to do a little change with my hair and I'm not somebody who would like chop their hair off it's just not for me. I've always had long hair. It's kind of my security blanket at times, but I wanted to go back to a little bit blonder. Um, I had red hair for like Halloween costumes and stuff and I liked it, but I don't think I could fully commit. My hair is something that, like, again, it's my security blanket and I'm scared if I changed it too dramatically. I wouldn't like

it and I would be like sad about that. So, um, but I do love my new hair. And it would be fun. It is fun to like dress up and do different stuff like that. And I thought I dressed up as, um, Jessica Rabbit for Halloween a couple years ago and I had like a blonde red wig and stuff and I thought it look pretty good. So I'm just not adventurous enough. I've always admired people who are so adventurous and can cut and grow and color and do all that stuff. So shout out to you guys because that's awesome.
