Chloe:

All right everybody. We are so excited to have episode 14 with one of our favorite people in the whole world. Cass, AKA, Cassy Johnson, AKA Johnson Law Firm, AKA Queen of All is what we have titled this episode. So we're so excited to have you, like I know it's been a really long week for all of us, all of us, Kristen. So I thought maybe we could like open it up with how our week has been. Since you know we have, we have survived number one. Literally have survived. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers to survivors. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.

Kristen:

Cheers. We need this right now. Like bad.

Chloe:

Yeah. So I also wanna say I'm pregnant. I have not shared that with you guys yet. I am 15 weeks pregnant, so no, this is not alcohol. Don't come for me. No, it's frowned upon when you're pregnant, apparently, to drink alcohol. Yeah, literally. I was in the ED the other day. We'll talk about that in a minute. They were writing would die. They were writing my prescription for muscle relaxers and they were like the resident,'cause you know, residents just say stuff. And he was like, also, just make sure you don't drink. And I was like, bro, you know, I'm pregnant. Like I don't. This is obvious. He was like, oh yeah. And I was like, this is why I'm here. Literally why I'm here. Yeah. Let's, uh, let's go ahead. First I wanna introduce Cass and, uh, Kristen, is there anything that you wanna say about our girl to open it up before we get started?

Kristen:

Oh wow. Good thing I have tissues. Just kidding. I, it's so funny'cause I've known Cass now, gosh, I don't know. How long? Probably

Cassidy:

since 2017.

Kristen:

2017. So that's like when I met Chloe and then I met you. Mm-hmm. Eight years, I guess. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So a long time. Um. It's so funny because me and Cass are alike in a lot of ways, but one of the, we're both Aries.

Chloe:

Yeah, we're, but then she's also like me. She's a blend of me and you. Yes. Collectively, together. Big time. Perfectly. Because she can cut on the Type A. Yes. Quick. Yes. Like outta nowhere. No coffee doesn't mean nothing. I'm like, she like can handle business quickly. I'm like, I need drugs. I need all the things. I

Kristen:

can't even make us. Sentenced yet. Yeah. Like what are we doing? But the one thing about cast that's so funny, we're so opposite is I am a very touchy-feely person. I think I've mentioned that, you know, before in other episodes, like one of my favorite things to do when I see my people is I always kiss their foreheads. Like I always go and kiss their heads. What do you her head? I, I don't think I've ever kissed her head. No. That would be a core memory. I would remember that. But we've now, for life, we've now gotten to a place where I can finally be like. I'm gonna hug you and she'll say, okay, I'll allow it. Not a touchy feely person at all. And it's hilarious because I refuse to like not be that way with her. So I just, I just hold her anyways and I'm like, here I am. Feel my energy.

Cassidy:

I feel like this is awkward. I'm like, just kind of, she's like, no, I've, I've gotten better you, ive gotten better. You've gotten

Kristen:

so much better, buddy. You really have. And I mean, everybody's different. You know what I'm saying? We're absolutely, we are not. All thank God we're not all the same. Can you imagine?

Chloe:

Yeah. We wouldn't get along. It's lovely language. We would

Kristen:

literally, none of us would. And that's, I was thinking about my friend group the other day, like my girlfriends, I'm so lucky'cause I have such a good, strong base of girls. Yeah. And we all do. Like we have such a good clan and we're so lucky, but we're all so different in so many areas, but we're so alike in like the core values and the things that. Actually truly matter. Absolutely. Like we would all go to bat for each other.

Cassidy:

Oh, absolutely. Like,

Kristen:

no, like I've sent texts before and Castle will be like, where do I need to come? Where do I need to go?

Chloe:

Yeah. You know, tell me what I need to bring. No, really? That is you, you're like such a, you're such a ride or die. Mm-hmm. And even before we get into some of the topic questions, like I was telling Kristen, like even when me and Kristen weren't talking, like it meant so much that you kept both of our friendships separate. And there was never like a, I don't know, there was never like. Oh, you're choosing her. You're choosing me. Yeah. Like you were just such a good, loyal friend to both of us. You were, and that was so important. You know what I mean? Yes, absolutely. You let us deal with our shit individually, like on our own, like. And and loved us both. When we were friends again, you were like, this is great. Finally, thank you know you're God. It looks

Cassidy:

so funny'cause y'all, I, I found out through Instagram. Yeah. Because I saw the picture and I immediately sent out like a bat signal, bat alert to my best friend Anna. And I was like, oh my God, is this really happening? Like, I don't wanna text them. I want them to come to me and tell me. It happened, but I don't wanna, you know, bother them with that. But yeah, no, I was so

Chloe:

excited. Yeah, it was very, it was very much random. It was not intended. No. At all. It was God. Yeah, it totally was. So, but this episode is about you'cause you're awesome. Like I said, the title is, I'm so happy it's, you probably blushing at this point. Y'all have been so sweet. You should be so you're, you know, a wife. Obviously to good old Steven. Yes, you are. We love Steven. Steven is the homie, by the way. He's a, he's also ride or die. He's ride or dog. He's definitely ride die. He rides. He rides, he

Kristen:

does ride. He rides. Mm-hmm. He's like, he has to deal with a lot. That sounds really inappropriate actually, guys. He'll probably like that when he watches. Yeah,

Chloe:

I'll, especially with his like dry, his dry humor. But he has the best dry humor. You're a mommy if. Too. I am. And you are a lawyer. You're very important. She's, she's an attorney. So she's

Cassidy:

13, almost 13 years.

Chloe:

Yeah. So tell us a little bit about like, what, what does your life look like? You know, like you juggle a lot. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Um, we watch it, yeah. All the time. Mm-hmm. And, you know, I know people say this and it's annoying, but you really do like, kind of, you're very airy in the way that you like, move about in life. Like you don't. Let things stress you out that, that you can't control. You have a lot of activities going on with your kids. You are very, very busy at y'all's firm together mm-hmm. With you and Steven. So tell us like what all that looks like, like your life and how you like. How do you do it with all the chaos?'cause I crash out a lot and I know Kristen does too. I crash out

Kristen:

so much,

Chloe:

so I know I crash out a lot. Yeah. I think the viewers would love to hear a little bit about you and like what you do. Does cast crash out? Do I crash out?

Kristen:

I, I heard you crash out on the phone with Steven not too long ago. He put you on speaker. I mean,

Chloe:

we all crash out with men. No, we do. I don't even remember what that was about, but he was like,

Kristen:

Kristen's in here. And I'm like, I don't care. But I feel like you, but I think that she's completely right, like the amount of things. You know, you, you do carry it very well, so, well, I'm

Cassidy:

glad that, that you're saying that because it doesn't feel that way most of the time. It's, that's good to know though. Um, absolutely. I, I don't know exactly how, you know, I think the best thing to say about that is I've surrounded myself with. Like the absolute best people. And I have support from my family. Um, we're really close, even though I'm from Wilkesboro, North Carolina, it's about four hours from here. Um, and so I have support from my family. I have an amazing husband. Like he, when you say ride or die, that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. Um, and I think. Choosing someone that you know is going to be right or die is, is critical, period. Um, I, as you said, I've practiced law for 13, going on 13 years now. I practiced mostly domestic, which is custody, child support. Um. Property splits, all of that. Ooh. All

Producer:

the, all the really heavy stuff, the nitty and gritty

Cassidy:

stuff. Um, and I, I meet with clients on the Daily who don't have that, and I didn't realize until I really, you know, started practicing how important it is to choose a partner who puts you before everything else. That part, um. I've been really lucky in that regard. Um, that does make my life a lot easier. I will, I'll say. Yeah. Um, I have great children, you know, when they're not driving me Absolutely. At the wall. They're so sweet. My daughter's the same as, as Chloe's daughter. About that. Yeah.

Kristen:

Talk about them. My son Theo, he's nine. He's so smart. He literally called out my boyfriend on something not too long ago. It was how hilarious he looks because he's a little Steven, he's my husband. He looked at him and he was like, so tell me about this. Why do you do this? What is this? What's going on? And I was like, and it was amazing how just like. He wasn't rude. Mm-hmm. He wasn't like, he's smart. Speaks so his smart and he speaks his mind. He's raised here that allowed to speak his mind. He feels comfortable to ask questions. His, but he feels comfortable to ask questions. Yes. And I feel like a lot of kids don't feel like there's a space that they can be comfortable to as, and everybody should feel that, you know, that comfortable. He is a

Cassidy:

true Pisces. Um, he is very emotional. He's, how's he so emotional, I mean. I mean, I would say emotional and very loving and very caring. They have a really big heart and watch me be butchering this, but that's what I feel like I remember. Yeah. Um, but that's how he is. I think you, you're right. I mean it describes him. I think you're right because they're water signs. Yeah, they are. That's, yeah. Um. So he, he just, he's just his dad asking questions. He wants to know all he want, you know, but what a beautiful

Kristen:

mixture of being such an emotional human. Mm-hmm. And also, so you can tell that he really thinks through things, and I think he probably gets that from both of you. Thank God. Like that engineer mind where he's like, I need to understand. I'm very much like that. I have to understand why things are the way they are so that my bo my brain can process it. Like if I don't understand why it's happening in like. Ask the questions I need to and get those answers, I will go out of my mind. Yeah. And I feel like he's very much like that. He

Cassidy:

is like that. Um, but he's very smart. He's very helpful. He's the best big brother. His little sister, uh, her name's Cosette. We call her Coco. I love her. She's a little name so much. She's a spitfire. She is, she's 13. I, I'm gonna have my hands. Full with her in a few years. Um, if I don't already, Chloe knows how that is. Oh yeah. I think the, the makeup, I mean, she's already wanting to put on makeup skincare and just because we watch, she watches us. Yeah. She wants to wear pink and dress in dresses. And I was completely the opposite. I was a tomboy growing was, I was think it was the eighties and nineties thing. Mm-hmm. For sure,

Chloe:

because I was. Too. I mean, playing in the mud ce so was, I literally had water day yesterday. She will not do water day'cause she does not like to get wet.'cause it's not in a pool. It's just outdoor activities. And she doesn't like to be wet. She said it makes her uncomfortable. What? So yeah, I feel like Coco's the, oh no, she'd be, she'd be head firstt in there. Really? Yeah. Ce such a little premadonna

Cassidy:

like, eh. She's not, she's well, she's scared of bugs. I guess that's a little bit girl. But other than that, she likes to dance. She likes to be at soccer.'cause it's a social event. Yeah. Um, yeah. And so she's, you know, but she does have that want to like, go out and get dirty with the boys. But she's, she's a straight up girl. Girl. She can hang though. Y'all are, y'all are done.

Chloe:

Right. No more kids. No more kids

Cassidy:

for us. Yeah. When you're done. I am too old for that. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I'm a little bit older than you. You're gonna be great. I'm gonna be great with number three. I'm really tired. I'm

Kristen:

really tired. I can't, I, I can't imagine getting pregnant right now at my age. But you want to, you said

Chloe:

eventually I we'll be there for you, sir. I'm telling You'all locked up after this. I can't,

Cassidy:

I'll not say. My husband keeps asking me, is Kristen, is she gonna have a, is she gonna have a, is she pregnant yet? I'm like, what?

Kristen:

Asking that question serious. I told, I'm like, she would totally have another

Cassidy:

baby. I have

Kristen:

three more babies right now. I know that. I literally would like right now, like today. And Chloe even a couple weeks ago. She's like, are you pregnant? I'm like, why would you say that? She's like, well, your skin looks so good. Your skin looks good. I'm like, now, because

Chloe:

when I was pregnant, I didn't realize I was, so now I'm like, Hey, wait, when was your last period? Hey, wait, like,

Kristen:

she's asked me like twice. I'm like, no, my tubes are tied. Why? For the week you had I.

Cassidy:

Forgotten that, but after the week you had, I, I was like, well, maybe. Yeah. So maybe let's go. So how, how was your week this week? I know it was a little stressful, like, well, it was nothing compared to y'all's week. I, um, I can't compare with that, but still. But, um, it was just normal work deadlines. Um,

Chloe:

what does that look like? Is it like the same every week for you or like, kind of walk them through what it looks like being in Nobody knows what attorney life looks like. I mean, because you're young, high, nobody knows what you deal with. Well, in most attorneys, like I'm not being ugly, but when you think of an attorney, you think of like some old man call on. Really buttoned up. Really buttoned up.

Kristen:

Buttoned up. He has like, well, and just like he is like this with his glasses on his, that's what the media is probably portrayed like. For you. Yeah. Commercials. No, but you're just like, the commercials,

Chloe:

like the old guy with the young, the young, uh, grandson. I can't think of I know who you're talking about. I'm

Cassidy:

not, I'm not gonna say anything. Exactly.

Chloe:

Yeah. So yeah, tell us like, you're not him. What does it, maybe I need a commercial. What does it look like for you? Like, I just

Kristen:

feel like I'd feel like such a boss if I was an attorney walking in and being like. Hey, I'm your attorney and like you're evidence. So,

Chloe:

and you'd be like, evidence.

Cassidy:

Bye.

Kristen:

This is,

Cassidy:

I, you know, that's, that's a hard question to answer because every week is wildly, wildly different for me. I bet. But I've structured my life that way. Yeah. Love it. Where I have weeks that I, like this week I say it was hard because I put my head down and was basically at my desk. All week and didn't look up until I basically came here to film this. Mm-hmm. I hate

Kristen:

that for you and that you do, you don't, don't do well like that. I know you don't. I don't thrive that way. Mm-hmm. But I mean, who, I mean, I guess

Cassidy:

there

Kristen:

are

Cassidy:

people here do, but is why you go to Disney so much, which we'll talk about. I know. I was

Kristen:

just thinking. But she also vacations every other week. I'm like, wait, is Cassie, or should we get dinner? Oh wait, no, she's at Disney. But

Cassidy:

that's the great thing. If I'm not in court, I can work. From anywhere. I love that for you. Yeah. You know, I can work. I don't have to be, I'm, I'm lucky in the regard that I don't have to be sitting at my desk to get something done. Yeah. There are people who do. Yeah. Um, my husband works better if he's at his office, at his desk. Justice. I can work. From anywhere and get it done. Same. Um, but a lot of the thing, you know, I've been practicing family law so, so mu so long now that I, you know, know exactly what I'm doing in regards to what I need to do next, what I need to do in a case that makes sense. Whereas my husband practices a wide range of civil litigation. He does. So he doesn't always know. He has to do a little bit more research than I do. Yeah.

Kristen:

Her husband is also an attorney. Like they're literally, like we have, we have our practice together power, but not only are they those people like. We went to see them, me and my man, um, a couple weeks ago they had a little Airbnb at the beach and they were getting ready to leave for the night, and they were like. We're gonna be gone. This place is completely free. Like if you guys wanna stay here, like Cassa was like, if you don't stay here, I'm gonna be mad at you. Like they're also, those people do, you guys are just like, I love you. They're good friends.

Cassidy:

They're just

Kristen:

good people.

Cassidy:

I'll say like, I good friends. So important. Right? I know y'all talk about that a lot on here. Loyalty. Without loyalty, being intentional. Anything. Like I read, I

Chloe:

read something the other day and it like was like wow. And it said, don't ever lend money or give money or give time to somebody that you're expecting something back from. And when I look at somebody, but it's true. When you look at somebody, you're absolutely

Producer:

right

Chloe:

who is a great friend. When you give anything to them, your time, your love, your energy, it's because you love them. Yeah. And that's literally exactly how Yeah. You and Steven are. Yeah. So yeah. As y'all

Cassidy:

own your practice together, we own our practice together. Okay. Um, going back to the first thing you asked me. Yeah. Sorry,

Chloe:

we're

Cassidy:

very flying. No, no, no, no. Um, this, this ties into that, but going back when we were talking about, you know, what makes me. Deal with all the chaos. Mm-hmm. Um, that is my life. Um, going back to having people around you, like our staff at our office is phenomenal. Um, it's important. My paralegal, our paralegal, Joanna, she's actually one of my best friends. We've been really good friends since probably 2018. Um, and she, we've traveled to Disney. We, we've traveled all these places together on top of being at work together. But, um, having her there. To support me both in my job and professionally and. In an emotional capacity is, is a huge help, of course. Um, and our, we have a receptionist, her name is Ary. We call her seven. She's also come in a little bit later, but she's been integral in, in helping us with our practice. And it's just being able to pick the right people to put in the right places is really, yeah. Is something that it's, you don't learn that you just, you just, you can either do it or you can't. You own your

Chloe:

own practice too, together with him and so. If you don't have ACEs in their places and people you can trust. Mm-hmm. Yeah. In y'all's line of work. Yeah. Oh my God. Like that could go bad real quick, man. If you don't have somebody you can trust, so, but like the worst. Absolutely. I love support

Kristen:

to me, like support. If you have support behind you, you can almost do anything, you know? But when you don't have that support, it's almost the opposite. Mm-hmm. I was talking to a friend about that earlier. It's like when you do, like you said, you. You chose, I mean, you know, with Steven and all that. Mm-hmm. Like thinking about that, like choosing someone who really has your back and that support, that word to me is crucial. Yeah. You can't do, if you don't have it, you can't do it. You can't do it alone. You're screwed. Uhuh, you can't. Thank God I have some support, you know? Mm-hmm. Because if not, I would, I would definitely not be here doing this podcast right now. I probably would've crowded my bed earlier. You know what I'm

Chloe:

saying? Like, yeah, it's been a rough week. Like she was super sick, you know? You know Cas like mm-hmm. Monday and Tuesday at work, and I was so mad at her, but I knew she needed, needed the money. But Tuesday I was like, she's like, you need to go home. Yeah. She couldn't, you need to go home. She couldn't because she was in charge. I was in charge

Kristen:

and I literally had to, and that's hostile to go home. Finally, I went home finally at like 4 15, 4 30. Because I had been there for two days, very like, you know, I just truly was not, I did not feel good at all. And um, doing my job sick is probably the hardest thing in the world. And I was in charge both days and, um, at four 30 I finally got a nurse to come in. But he wasn't comfortable doing charge, so I had to move a nurse to another job to move him, to move everything else just so I could go home from work. Like that's the reality of my life. And then I wound up in the hospital the next morning because I was still sick, which was terrible. Mm-hmm. Like I literally woke up, you know, when you're like, I'm gonna be better in the morning. Like, I know I'm gonna be good in the morning. This is just like a 48 hour bug. I'll be straight. And you go to bed thinking like everything's gonna be swell. I was up all night long, so sick, and the morning I was like, screw this, I'm done. I'm gonna the hospital. Go to the hospital, thank God. Got fluids figured out what was going on. And then we immediately leave. Um. And Chloe was driving and we got T-boned hard.

Chloe:

Yeah, it was rough.

Kristen:

Like literally like so, and I saw him coming. I saw him out the corner of my eyes. It wasn't, I was way too

Chloe:

light as, no, I

Kristen:

couldn't say, I couldn't open my mouth. I didn't even see him. No. And he just came. And then it was like we were literally, it felt like it was never gonna end. The car was just going like this over and over and over. And I kept looking at her'cause she was, I kept looking at you. Yeah.'cause you were trying to maneuver the wheel. I was trying to correct it.

Chloe:

cause we were going into like a cement sign, the heart center sign. And I knew if we did that, like, you know, then her side was gonna get hit or we would like flip into the parking lot that was below. And yeah, it was so scary. And we did flip.

Kristen:

Justin watched the footage behind her husband. Yeah. And we almost, I was like, we were going like this. He's like, I watched the video, y'all almost flipped. That's why that's so scary. And I was like, oh my gosh. Yeah. You know, it's just, and I really say all that to say, like yesterday Chloe was texting me and she was like. You need to sit down, like you need to sit in a dark room and just take a minute and all that. Because even though I felt like I handled the situation well and I did. Mm-hmm. I feel like mentally. Mm-hmm. For the most part, I still like, my body can feel it. Our bodies can feel it. Mm-hmm. And you have to take a minute to really like take a break. Yeah. Because if not, like you'll, and this morning I woke up and I felt great. I was ready to seize the day. Yes. You know, thank God. But if I hadn't have done that, I probably would've been awful this morning. Yeah, that's

Cassidy:

what I was saying. Y'all week. My deadline was, was nothing compared to how scary that was. Yeah. Mm-hmm. But we

Chloe:

still made it to Friday, you know what I mean? And that's like a whole thing in itself, you know? I feel like so many women, just whether people have, it doesn't matter if you have kids, if you're married or what your age is. Women really freaking go through it. We don't all the time. And it's like, no. Like really? Like we. We all have a lot going on. Mm-hmm. And that's why, like you said, to loop back around to your support system like you were talking about. At the law firm, like you having people you can trust and lean on. And like even yesterday there will be times,'cause like my personality is very Type A and I'm very much like, sometimes my personality comes off cold, it comes off like whatever. Mm-hmm. But I always make sure, like the people I really care about, I'm always looping around and be like, Hey, what do you need? Or like, Hey, what's going on? And when we are supposed to do the, we are actually supposed to do the podcast, you know, with you Wednesday morning.

Producer:

Right, right.

Chloe:

And she had texted me and she just. Seemed off. And so I had FaceTimed her'cause I was like, can you still do the podcast? And you're like, I don't know, not re not really, but I'm going to. I said, not really. And I was like, I need to see her face. And so we FaceTimed and I was like, she was just flushed and looked terrible and. You know, was getting fluids in the hallway throwing up and was I was

Kristen:

done. It was, it was the right call. Yeah, absolutely.

Chloe:

It was definitely the

Cassidy:

right call. So I'm, yeah, I'm just happy here. I was tired this whole week, so, and I feel, I feel great now. And because you've done mental stress all your things now it's, I it's melted away,

Kristen:

so, yeah. So let's move on to like, and just like you've melted away. Which maybe is what we should go into. Oh, that's three. We're

Chloe:

about to, after Disney, she melted away. I know. Listen, I know Disney's triggering for Kristen. Okay. I'm just gonna be honest with all y'all listening. Kristin hates Disney. Disney's triggering for a lot of people. I have learned, but me and

Kristen:

Cassidy, I just don't know why you would wanna put yourself. It's the best ever place. It's the case. But all of these people, like literally, they're like, that's how I feel about.

Cassidy:

And you work there? Oh yeah.

Kristen:

I don't literally, I don't even phase me. You're not like,

Cassidy:

everybody feels

Kristen:

like you're not wrong. You're not wrong. But yeah, you, they're just so sweaty.

Chloe:

You and me love Disney. I do. I, I mean I love Disney, but I also Did you grow up going to Disney?'cause I did a lot. I went to

Cassidy:

Disney probably my mom was a teacher and so they would save up. Could like a big trip. Yeah. See I never went until I was an adult. That's probably, I don't like it once year. Yeah. I've never done, I think like three years, three or four years. So I went like. Probably three or four times growing up, which is a

Chloe:

lot growing up for most people. And it was a whole affair. Never, like it was the whole

Cassidy:

shebang and the right, the breakfasts, don't forget it. Breakfasts, is that the right, how do you say that word? Breakfast with another character. Breakfast character breakfast. Character breakfast. And you know, getting pictures with all the, all the characters. Yeah.

Chloe:

In the, in the, when they would sign, you know, and it was like the, the blue books, they would sign the puffy ones

Cassidy:

and like, and this was not, like, there was never, my plan was never to like. Spoil my kids and take them to Disney all the time. Let's, let's not just have happened how you travel

Chloe:

alone. I know Kristen does it too. Love. I could never love travel with my kids alone. Love alone. I just, I really lean in on Justin on that. I have issues, but like how, tell everybody like how you go to Disney and like what you do with the kids there. It's so fun. Well, I'll say,

Cassidy:

you know, everyone is talking so negatively about Disney adults these days. I love it. And I, you wouldn't know. I, I mean, I'm, and I, I'm, I would. Absolutely characterize myself as a Disney adult. Like definitely, but wouldn't know it now. Like I don't wear Disney stuff around. You wouldn't know it unless you followed me and like, oh, but when you're there you gotta fix. Saw my, when you're there, you gotta fix. I do love the fits the cute ones. I have to have all the matching things with the, yeah. Yes. Um, but I think. I don't, it's only been probably a handful of times that I've traveled to Disney with both of my children.

Producer:

Mm.

Cassidy:

I usually take one. Yeah. Like they get their special trip, they get their time, and then the next trip is the other child's love. And so I, it makes a lot easier, um, to do. But this most recent trip I took both of them. Yeah. But they're nine and five and so, and they, they're troopers. I mean, they, they know the deal at this point. They roll. We, we don't really shut it down like we go later in the day. Little stroller. I get a stroller. Okay, good. I thought that. I hope so. She's, she's a delicate flower. Yeah, that's How easy is she in the park? She's carrying me. She walks stroll, three

Chloe:

steps, uhhuh and I'm like, I ain't carrying you unless your daddy's here.

Cassidy:

But yeah, so they've, we've, we've got that down to at two an hour. Like we don't, we don't rope drop. We wake up and get there at 11. Yeah, we like eat. Only the Disney hang out. Know what rope drop is. Kristen's like what is rope drop? I idea you're talking about No idea. Literally not. I don't believe in rope drop. I don't believe in rope drop. I believe in my beauty sleep. Yeah. It's like getting there. And we don't stay for the fireworks.

Chloe:

We leave. Like I'm not about Well you, I'm not about that. You've seen them enough. You're a Disney. I'm not a big firework fan. Big

Cassidy:

firework

Chloe:

fan. Yeah, it's okay. Yeah. No, but I think too, it's like when you do grow up and have certain memories. Like growing up, right? When we do certain things, it does kind of implant into your brain.'cause I was thinking when I was typing up stuff for this episode, like. When I see you at Disney, it like does something to me. Mm-hmm. And it's crazy how you see people do different things, whether it be trips or fashion or like Right. Personality types. Like there'll be things I say and Kristen will be like, oh, that reminds me of like the nineties. Mm-hmm. Or that, you know, or that she, Kristen loves like the late eighties and the early nineties. Gimme some meat. Great, great

Kristen:

times.

Chloe:

Right? The dinners not, and just out chilling. Well, the food.

Kristen:

So the singer, I love some meatloaf man. Yeah. Oh, oh, I was great. I was like, I really like Meatloaf. Singer knew I

Chloe:

grew up in the nineties and she grew up in the eighties. I'm like, what the food? I don't dunno. My parents really cooked the singers. So I thought you were talking about the little meals that go in the oven and the black, the little black plastic thing. That's what I grew up eating with the corn and the mashed potatoes, man. Yeah, the blue ones. Is that still a thing? I probably. Or probably not. It's probably eat. So what does matter boys

Kristen:

eat? The hungry man one. Yeah. So they eat,

Chloe:

it's probably seven. Yes. Do of peace. Now they eat the big boy ones. They really do. Yeah. You love to travel. Do we've been like your favorite place to, to go?

Cassidy:

Ooh. I would say, well, there's a couple, so Avi and I think y'all already touched on this when we went to Spain Yes. Back in 2018. Oh, it was the best. I think it was 2018, we went to Spain. Ran, we gotta do a

Chloe:

new one with Kristen's new husband. Yes, please. Oh, is there a husband I don't know about? No, not yet in her head. But not making the cut yet? No.

Cassidy:

Yep. No, he's the, the time. It's not time yet. No, but we rented the Airbnb in, um, oh, I, I know the name of this place. I don't know why I always forget it. It, uh, St. Paul Dale. Oh gosh, I'm gonna butcher it. Oh wait, St. Paul, Dale, oral St. Paul Dale. Or how, and that's in your brain Is beyond me because I, I, I look at that Airbnb from time to time to make sure it's still there. Stop it so we can go back. Because we're gonna go back and then we went to the kava that this magical, like where they make the kava was phenomenal. I lost

Kristen:

kava. Speaking of, I'm about to pour me a little bit more ca get here.

Chloe:

Yeah, it was that

Kristen:

shit. I'm trying not to hit my mic so I don't get in trouble today. Our producer's

Chloe:

probably looking right now, I'm not gonna look at him, but he's probably like back there. Like this will become a blooper

Kristen:

eventually. Josh

Chloe:

loves us though, and just shout out to him, by the way, like his. Studio and everything. He's just been wonderful. So we love you, Josh. Mm-hmm. Um, but yeah. So let's move on then from trips. And let's start talking about like the glow up your, your health journey.

Kristen:

The change, I mean, the change you

Chloe:

have. I can't with you, you have really lost a lot of weight. You have, and you know, me and Kristen are big advocates. Like, if you like it, we love it. And whatever you gotta do to get healthy and

Kristen:

yeah,

Chloe:

I was on a GLP one. That is how I got pregnant. Um, accidentally. You guys don't know that it was accidentally boop.

Kristen:

Um, I mean, when you get to. The healthiest version. You just have a lot of things are possible. Absolutely. Yeah. Well, here when your

Chloe:

body's healthy. So what got you to the point of being sick and tired? Yeah. I guess of where you were and like what made you wanna be in a healthier place?

Cassidy:

I. I had probably been overweight since I had my, right after Theo. Yeah. I lost a little bit after him back in 2016. Um, and then it just, life, I mean, yep. I was working, I. Wasn't exercising. Yep. I love to drink wine. Red wine. Who doesn't? Which is she so high. Loves food. I do love food. Loves She loves food. Who does it? Oh gosh. Why is food so good? Love food and wine. Why is food so good? Um, I love pasta. I love pizza. French fries are my favorite food. Mm-hmm. Like all but from where? What fast food place? McDonald's. Oh gosh. Well I eat McDonald's all the time'cause that's how my kids will eat. Yeah. But their fries are superior. Their fries are really good. Yeah. Um. I really love the truffle fries from native Oh girl. Great little diner. It's like a, a luxury diner. How would you describe it? I mean, definitely luxury diner, high in high dining experience diner here, Greenville, those fries. Yeah. Um, those are really good. But cheese, but I'm like a fry connoisseur. Like it has to be perfect. Yeah. My kids don't even like french fries. I don't know. They're not my children. But what, um. What did they eat and they happy meal? They eat five things. They didn't to stay lives did they? They get double apples. What did they do? Yeah, they used to get double apples. Doug, not double apples. Who gets double apples? Like you can't be mad because it's so healthy. It's like, I think that's all. That's the only fruit or vegetable. They were like, I mean that they were eating voluntarily. No, my

Chloe:

kids don't eat fruit like vegetables either. So it's the weirdest to hide'em in all

Cassidy:

the things. Yeah, they will eventually.

Chloe:

You just have to give it

Cassidy:

some time. Maybe

Chloe:

Justin, Justin still don't eat vegetables. My husband, we all know his

Cassidy:

diet is all meat potatoes. Oh, show him, show him a cheese steak.

Chloe:

Yeah. No,

Cassidy:

but really this is why we have to be on. Okay. So yeah, I don't even know what I was talking about. Um, so I would say that it got a lot worse during COVID. Mm-hmm. I mean, I was, you know, anywhere between. I was probably around one 90 for a while and then when COVID hit, it just got out of control.'cause we were at home. My husband's an amazing cook. Mm. He cooked and then of course he doesn eat vegetables. So he is not cooking vegetables, but he's cooking all these things and we're drinking and we're,'cause we weren't working, the courthouse is closed down. Um. And so we were at home, which was a blessing.'cause my daughter, she was born in October of 19, so she had just started back to daycare. And so then when COVID happened, I got to pull her back out mm-hmm. And spend that time with her. Same, that I didn't, wasn't gonna have,'cause I was actually employed at a, a different firm at this time. So that was really wonderful. Um, the only good thing about it, obviously. Yeah. But it was nice to have her there with me, um, and my son as well. Um, but he was doing virtual school, which we all know was. Really fun, I joke, but, uh, I just, you know, my husband had. Decided that he was gonna try to get healthier'cause he was overweight as well. And he started, um, he had some health issues, realized he made, he was pre-diabetic and went on some medicine and lost a bunch of weight. And I'm like, well, hold up. Like I've always, the dose, I've always, I was blessed. I've always had a high self-esteem. Mm-hmm. I still think I was rocking it back then. Hell, I'm even the first person to tell you like, that's, that's just who I am. But uh. I was just tired of my clothes not fitting well. Yeah. Um, because you love fashion, love, fashion. All those do, they weren't, they weren't fitting. I, and that's the worst thing, wanted to be around for my kids. And that was the biggest reason my husband lost weight. Yeah. And so I had talked to my doctor. I had tried different things, you know, she put me on different medications and nothing, nothing was working. Um, I was trying to work out. It's really hard when you have two little kids and. A full-time legal job. Yeah. Pick. I mean, it's hard pick, I mean up. I know I could wake up at 4:00 AM but girl, I had good intentions. Okay. Yeah. There were good intentions there. Yeah. Um, but I did decide when none of that worked to go on a GLP one in November of last year. Um, and honestly, I can honestly say it changed my life. Yes. I mean, it, it, I was very against it. Like I'm sure a lot of people who are watching are like, I would never take a shot. But I mean, it, there were, there's so many pros that I've personally experienced with it. Versus, you know, not before I was on it. Tell us about the pros. Yes. Give us a couple. Give us a couple. Well, I, I think it reacts, I'm not a doctor. Okay. Obviously. Yeah. I have, I have no business talking about medical stuff. I can only tell you my experience. Yes. And what I've, what you should, what I've done, what, how it's reacting in my body. You have personal experience, so please do. Um, so I, I still get hungry, but I just can't eat as much. Yeah. So I don't have the issue of like. Not eating for like 12 hours. Yeah. Like I have to eat. I love food, but you won't. I love food binge But you won't binge, I won't binge uhhuh. Um, and I wanna, most of my weight was probably from, from wine. Mm. Yeah. And craft beer. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I didn't drink a lot of cocktails. Mm-hmm. But like, I would come home from work and I'd be like, I really, really want red wine.'cause I mean, this client today or this hearing today was, was especially rough and I just need to take the edge off. I can't imagine. Um, and so I would say. It started working immediately. I started seeing weight loss. But the biggest thing to me is I absolutely stopped drinking alcohol. Right. Same. Like almost cold Turkey. Yeah. Like you don't really want it. Yeah. It was almost an aversion too. Yeah. And then, yeah,

Chloe:

it is. It's like

Cassidy:

it's still hard for me to drink wine. Yeah. Um, but I, I just stopped. Yeah. And I think that game changer too, that really, really, mm-hmm. Really changed a lot of things. Um, and for my life for the better. It also like. Like most girls, I love to shop. I love fashion. I was shopping so much I, and I don't know if it was because, you know, I was trying to feel. You know, I didn't feel great in my body, so I kept shopping to try to find the clothes that I did feel great in. Yeah, I that a lot when I was, or buy the bag that way. Buy the bags. Look at the bag. Look at this, look at this. The shoes. Crazy things. Fancy bag. I have. Yeah. And not at my body. So well'cause it, it would fit. It wasn't clothing and that's, I can have it forever. Bags like crazy. Yeah, after I had ccc and so I, I quit shopping and it's like, I, I've read a little bit about it and again, I'm, I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to medical stuff, but I have seen they are doing research and how it treats addictions. Yeah. And I really think, and my doctor told me, she's like, it's a miracle drug. Yes. And I would go to bat for this as it's work for me. Um. All day long. Yeah. All day long.

Kristen:

I love that for you and I know I'm so happy for you. You know, people are

Cassidy:

worried about, you know, the side effects, but you know, you gotta weigh the pros and cons. Yeah. But you also

Kristen:

have to live to the next day. Yeah. People worry so much about the side effects, but it's like, but also what is your lifestyle that you're doing right now for you doing to your body?

Chloe:

Right. Well, in your mind and like when I was overweight too, my heaviest for years. I was also so depressed my brain wasn't working correctly because, you know, also GLP ones, they significantly reduce inflammation, which is, you can look at your face now and if you looked at pictures seven months ago, your face shape is different. And they call like, it's completely different call like cortisol face. So when you're inflamed and you know, high stress, you've got two kids, I mean. Kristen, your face looked like that when you had young boys. I remember when her boys were like eight and 12 or or not. They're only two years apart ish. But I remember her face looked totally different and it's like I posted pictures of it. Yeah, these medications look completely different. Yeah. These medications though. And taking that stress off of your body. It works. And like, I even feel like with me, I wasn't even like thinking clearly. And um, I think back, like even with me, like I couldn't make decisions clearly when I was really overweight. I couldn't, I I was also, I was super depressed'cause I'm, I'm a fashion fiend and like nothing would fit and I would look in the mirror. And I would just be like, you are so ugly. Like I would have such, and I love that you're so positive. Mm-hmm. Because I was not, I was like, you are ugly. You are just huge. You don't dressed. Oh, I had those

Cassidy:

days for

Chloe:

sure. Yeah. And then it's like when you lose all the weight, I kind of had like body dysmorphia for a little bit. I was like, I don't, even before this you were like, my shirt doesn't look bright. And we're like, you look freaking hot. Like, I dunno what you're talking about. You look amazing. Like, thank you. You know? But it's just like. When you're, you know, and then when you got married, you looked so good. Mm-hmm. And so it's like when you have kids and your body changes and you're working, you put yourself

Cassidy:

last.

Chloe:

Right. Of course. Exactly. But then it's like, of course we have our kids to live for. Yeah. And that's important. But number one, we have ourselves to live for. Yeah.

Kristen:

Like, I feel like we always worry so much about, I gotta live this. I, I need to live for them. I need to do this and that. Right. It's like. I am in my own body, the first person I should be thinking about now that I, gosh, it's so funny. I drink like a certain amount of champagne and my words don't come out the same way. It hilarious. No, I love that. That sounds great. It sounds great, but we have to seriously worry about ourselves first and it's so hard to do that y'all. It really is. Especially even well, that's why with

Cassidy:

social media nowadays, girl, you can do nothing. Right? No. Oh my gosh. I don't even know if I wanna stay on social.

Kristen:

I

Cassidy:

wish I could delete

Kristen:

all of my social media and have a house one and be barefoot. I've said that 3000 times. Yeah. Yeah. But someday I will. Someday I will. Yeah. It's gonna be the best day of my life. Social media is just, it's not, and it's an addiction. I do wanna talk about this because it's so sad. Um, I knew of a man about two weeks ago now. Who committed suicide. He was in his young fifties. And I feel like when we were growing up, I don't know if you remember or like if you remember, but like when we were growing up, we didn't hear about suicide a lot, y'all.

Producer:

Mm-hmm.

Kristen:

It was not a thing was taboo. It wasn't talked about, it was not talked, but also. You just didn't hear about it as much, and if you did, it was more so like a teenager or a certain age group. But now it's more so like younger males. Mm-hmm. Older males, like in their forties, fifties. I do feel like I also hear more about males than females, which is odd, but it's just like, I feel like something has to happen there. I feel like males don't open up. Men and women are the same as in, they both have emotional like issues going on. We both have emotions, but like women are so, I mean, I'll call her and just be like, nah. You know what I'm saying? But men don't do that. They don't do that. They don't do that at all. Yeah, it's just really sad. I have no idea why I mentioned that, but I'm just like, that really took me through a loop this past two weeks because it's just terrible. It's different how than it was when we were younger. Yeah, it

Cassidy:

feels that way for sure.

Chloe:

So different. I think a lot of men like, you know, they hold it in and there's. That pressure or you know, that being the man of the house or you don't know how they grew up. And there's things like, I keep my dad and my father-in-law outta these episodes to cover them and'cause I love them. Mm-hmm. But like, I've seen things, you know? Mm-hmm. From both of them growing, like grow. I'd started dating, dating Justin when I was 14. I was still a kid and Justin's told me things and so, you know, a lot of boys, they grow up. With their father, many of them with their father kind of being like, Hey, get it together. Like be, of course, that's how they all did most of that generation. Shut up, shut up. Stop him in the head. Do this hundred literally in the head, like get it together. Um, yeah. And figure it out. You know, even like with Justin, like he just got a life coach a couple months ago, but still I know he hasn't like opened the floodgates with him. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because you can tell when you have a partner, like what's off with them and what's not changing. But like I was even telling Kristen when I was younger, there was a guy that my mom was engaged to. And he was really dangerous. Mm-hmm. And like wouldn't get help and stuff, and he ended up shooting himself in the head because he didn't have the help. Yeah. And I, and I think a lot of these men, it's, it's like with women and girls, like when you have traumas, these men, they're not. They, I mean, imagine like a man. Have you ever heard a man be like, yeah, I had trauma when I was young? No, they're not gonna say that. No. I mean, they're not, many of them are not gonna, no, they're not gonna say that. They're not. And so, yeah. But back to social media, yeah, it's, it's rough. I mean, I do a lot on social media, as you guys know. I, I like get pretty ripped apart to be, be honest on there. Yeah. Um, I get pretty shredded, especially in my business. Those, and, you know. It's one of those things where you just have to grow a really, if you're doing it to make money, you have to, which is what I am doing, right. Honestly. Right. Um, I wanna get brands, I wanna get partnerships, I wanna do those things. Mm-hmm. I wanna make money at home. Sure. I don't wanna be a nurse. I don't wanna, you know, I wanna run a podcast, eventually have this blow up for both of us, and Absolutely. Bless women, but also get paid. And so I think there's that like bend and pool of like. You really can help women on social media, but then also you, you will, you make yourself very vulnerable. You'll be massacred for sure. You make yourself really vulnerable a hundred percent. Since it is super hard, it's, I've been

Kristen:

posting things about like, you know,'cause I have a boyfriend that's a lot younger than she. Oh yeah. And the comments, these people are like, he'll leave you when you're 60. Like they have said the rude ist. Stuff to me about like our relationship. And I'm like, but like

Cassidy:

why do they feel the need to do that? I can't. That's believe that anyone has like a million years write something like that. I would be like, go yours. Like I, it's

Kristen:

like, or not say anything at all. That's so crazy. People are school man and they're, they're, so that's what worries, worries me about our

Chloe:

kids being on there and um, yeah, that part, I'm not gonna let my kids, I'm a crazy mom, get social media or a phone until they're in ninth grade. But Yeah. You know, even my girls in youth. Like that I was in with youth, like they would tell me just the anxiety they have because of social media. So 14, 15, 16, perfect. Everyone on there. Perfect. Oh my gosh. All the tiktoks with the makeup

Cassidy:

and

Chloe:

I'm looking at, and they looked like this in real life. Y All these girls, they're beautiful, look like this. And I'm like, when I was 14 I had like, oh, I had the blue eyeliner on. Oh yeah.

Kristen:

I don't even know what I was doing. I had blue

Chloe:

eyeliner on. Y'all remember? Oh yeah. Okay. Period. Oh yes, I know what I was doing. Hair greasy. I don't know. The clips, the butterfly clips all the way across. I mean, you twist your hair back. I just, yeah, so that's the good old days. I mean, gosh, it's just, it's a different world and I think that's where with our kids, we have to also know like, okay, like. You know, this is how it's gonna be. So as long as we raise really strong kids, and

Kristen:

mine are such different ages than yours, like I've already been through the whole, your kids are

Cassidy:

so

Chloe:

good.

Kristen:

You know, they've had social media for years and years now. Like they got a phone super early, obviously, because I got divorced seven years ago, so they were like 11 and nine or whatever. So when Grayson would take them, I would be like, had to, I got a phone when

Chloe:

I was,

Cassidy:

when I was. 10 now because of that. But

Kristen:

if I had children now, when I have children now, like they will not have social media. Oh, I love

Cassidy:

when I have,

Kristen:

they not have social media like I will. That will not even be a thing. Period. Yeah. You know, it is, it's hard for me, let alone a child who doesn't even have the cognitive ability to process things like we do. Yeah. Like how could you even let them. I just, I don't know.

Cassidy:

Well, I have a, I have a story about that that happened this week and please do. It kind of wraps back around to like what you were talking about with like men being, or boys, men, when they were boys being told, you know, you don't cry. Yeah. Like growing up in, you know, when we, I guess, what are we, millennials, like millennials growing. We were told, the boys were told Don't cry. Yeah. So my son has Roblox, which is probably not a wise decision, but here we are. Here we are. We gotta survive somehow we have Roblox. Um, and he was playing some game on there and. He got killed, or, I don't know the word. I guess the only word I know. Yeah. Yeah. To describe it by some people like five times. And he starts crying, which I've never seen him do before. Yeah. This was like a new thing. And we were at my office, so me and my husband were both there, so he's like getting upset about it and he's really trying not to cry. Oh. Like in front of us about it. But he's really upset that he did poorly in this game. And I guess he had worked really hard for an hour and a half and it ended that way. Yeah. Um, and I was like. Already at my max of stress for that day. And so I was like, Steven, you need to handle this. Yeah. And he sat in front of him and he was like, buddy. He was like, you can feel however way you wanna feel about it. I love that you're basically, he was validating his emotions, but he was also like, you gotta think in the grand scheme of things, like you shouldn't cry over a video game. Like, tell me, tell me, is something else going on? And he even told him, he was like, you know, growing up my dad would tell me. You know, what do you do? Like you better not be crying. Like something along those lines. And he was expressing to Theo, you know, it's okay, but you know, this is still at the end of the day, this is a video game. He video game. And he was talking about good for him. Things like, you have your sister, you have your mom. Yeah. You have all these things. Yeah. And he calmed down, but it was just like so dramatic for like, you know, five minutes and hearing him talk about it. It just. It was awesome to hear him knowing how he was raised, where you don't show emotion. Trying to get Theo to be like, your emotions are are valid and, okay. Go

Chloe:

Steven, man. Mm-hmm. Go Steven. Isn't that what we

Kristen:

all want for everyone is to be like, I was raised this way, but I'm gonna do better.

Chloe:

Yeah.

Kristen:

For my kids and for myself.

Chloe:

Yeah, absolutely. Like,

Kristen:

that's it right there.

Chloe:

Yeah. I love that because even like with Brody, like we just started letting him play Call of Duty'cause we ended up caving and like he'll get really emotional up there in his room or aggressive or start yelling and like, I'm better at talking with him than Justin. Um, but I'll have to go up there and be like, Hey, you know, like. It's okay. I understand you're upset, but we don't have to yell at our friends or tell them they're stupid. You know? That's not nice because they get like in it. Oh yeah. They really do up in there.

Producer:

They literally do

Chloe:

in it. And um, but it is, you know, especially with boys, I remember her boys playing Fortnight. Mm-hmm. I remember her boys playing Call of Duty up there. And so there are things at a certain point where it's like you do have to also, and I think that's the sad part. And I know you've already been through this with your boys, so maybe you have tips on this, but like. Learning too. Okay. There are some things that, okay, they're this age where they can do this on roadblocks and they're gonna kill people or die or like they're doing, you know, certain games or whatever. But. It's hard to like let, and like Birdie doesn't have a phone, but he has an iPad. A nice one. Yeah. So he calls texts. Mm-hmm. Can do YouTube, all that. Mm-hmm. Right. But I worry all the time, like, oh my gosh. Like he's gonna accidentally pull up porn and we still have blockers and all that on it, but still stuff can happen and it scares the shit outta

Kristen:

me. I would just literally look at my boys' phones all, especially for the first Yeah, we do. We have couple years. I would grab it, be like, and I never. I think it really goes, goes back to like your parenting and everything else, because I think if you parent your kids the right way. I mean, they can obviously like, you know, pop up on something. They're Yeah. And that's the concern. And they're, and they're boys. You know what I mean? Yeah. But

Cassidy:

I have a friend who has a, a son who's around 12. Yeah. And she has told him all of the internet safety tips, he knows all the internet safety rules. She's very strict in that regard. Yeah. Like he was very aware and he still managed to get into an app that had a secret backroom chat. It was like a Harry Potter app of some sort. Yeah, a secret backroom chat, and it's crazy now, and some 14-year-old girl convinced him to take a picture of himself and upload it to this website that was outside of the chat. And of course she found out about it. Um, and she was like, you know, we've had all these talks. We've had all these talks and still though, and you knew better. And he's like, yeah, I knew better, but I did it anyway. I mean, that's basically, you can't do best. They're curious for your kids. And

Kristen:

at the end of the day, like if they choose things, it's like. I did what I could. I do wanna say though, real quick, I went to church this past Sunday and the pastor did talk about the youth pastor, the female. She was like, she was talking to the girls and she was, and I wish somebody said this to me way back in the day, like whatever you put out there on the internet, like whatever picture you take and send to a boy or send it anywhere and everything else in between like that sticks, like that's gonna be out there for the rest of your lives. I was like, we just say thank God. Social media was not like that when we were girl.
