00:01Previously, girl is giving cutesy.
00:05Not cutesy, I'm not five.
00:06Give her some apple juice.
00:08Can you come up with another joke?
00:09We can agree to disagree, because I'm kind of done with it.
00:13She's just like, ugh.
00:15I heard from a bird you starting a new label.
00:18We've been helping like newer artists.
00:19Maybe y'all can exchange Instagram.
00:21We're going to be in touch with you.
00:22LaBrina just sent us a text.
00:24Are y'all down for a Texas Hill Country wine kickback?
00:27Yes.
00:28This is going to be my first girl's trip.
00:32Would you be comfortable with doing a couple's therapy?
00:34I will.
00:35There's been a lot of trust broken.
00:38It's not just years ago that I'm affected by.
00:42It's things that have happened up until this point.
00:45I'll miss that.
00:58Josh, tell me.
00:59What is the thing?
01:00Um, or the things?
01:02I was making some investments that I felt like was going to change our lives.
01:07I didn't handle things correctly.
01:08Mm-hmm.
01:09And in that moment, instead of talking through things, I tried to solve a problem on my own.
01:21Josh and I are in this space because I trusted him with our finances and he was in a stock market and he lost over hundreds of thousands of dollars.
01:38He was doing these investments and losing money for a year before I even found out.
01:45It wasn't until I asked to purchase something new for the studio that he had to tell me, like, we don't have anything to pull from.
01:55I had to sell my home.
01:56I had to figure out how I'm going to build my savings back up.
02:00And I just, I couldn't believe all of this was gone.
02:05Why do you feel like it's taking you so long to say that?
02:08I'm embarrassed for, one, not keeping my eye on everything.
02:12I'm embarrassed for fully trusting someone.
02:17I am embarrassed for staying when I knew this was too hurtful for me to stick around for.
02:34So, Josh, you broke what we would call the covenant of marriage.
02:39You made a solo decision, not a marital decision, but it was covered with a marital.
02:46Like, I'm doing this for us.
02:48In that moment, I felt small.
02:53Mm-hmm.
02:54I felt small.
02:55And so I tried to do what was, I felt at that moment, was going to change our lives.
03:07We weren't in a bad space financially.
03:09Right.
03:10To even feel the need to do that.
03:12So tell me what you believe motivated that decision.
03:16I don't, I don't want to say it.
03:17I feel like at that time.
03:18No, tell me what you believe.
03:19It's okay.
03:20Okay.
03:21At that time, I feel like I was the breadwinner.
03:22Mm-hmm.
03:23And I think that he just wanted to be that breadwinner in that moment.
03:27Okay.
03:28And that's how I felt.
03:29I do have an issue with the breadwinner comment.
03:32Only because there are other segments of the business that I was heavily involved in.
03:38And so the business made a lot of money.
03:41And so when COVID happened and the bits is shut down, I got scared because I'm like, if this
03:46is what we both put our time and effort into for all these years.
03:50And as a, as a man at that point, the only thing I was doing was a makeup brand.
03:56I wasn't doing anything else.
03:58What is clear is that you were dealing with a man who was feeling insecure with his position
04:03in the house.
04:04Not because you made him feel that way.
04:06Not because you invalidated him in that way.
04:08But there was something in him.
04:10He had his own expectations of himself.
04:12And he probably didn't feel like he was meeting them.
04:15The unfortunate part though, is its impact on you.
04:19And that's the part.
04:21Yes.
04:22So if you see that, if you know that, and you've seen me work as hard as I did, why
04:29would you do the one thing that's going to hurt me?
04:35This has been a weight on me that has been heavy, that has been affecting me.
04:42It changed me.
04:43I'm not going to be as trusting moving forward, including Josh.
04:47And it's sad.
04:48I feel like it's a good girl turned cold.
04:50I mean, I see you for where you are currently.
04:53I do.
04:54And I know why you are there.
04:58I want this.
05:00I want you.
05:01And I understand if you can't.
05:11I get it.
05:12But I do want this.
05:17I do want this.
05:19From the beginning, I've loved you.
05:20And I still do.
05:21I want it.
05:22Just a part of me doesn't know if I have the capacity to keep going.
05:36You're hurt.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Yeah.
05:39I just wanted just that trust to be rebuilt.
05:45I wanted just to feel safe and secure in my marriage again.
05:51It's nice that he is bringing this up and taking accountability.
05:56But I don't know.
05:57It's just hard to move past those big hurts.
06:02Josh, what's happening?
06:06Mm-mm.
06:07I feel like I let myself down and I let my family down.
06:20Mm-mm.
06:21It's just like a double whammy for me.
06:24Yes.
06:25And I'm trying.
06:26And I promise you I'm trying.
06:27And I'm dying for a long time.
06:38So, I'm praying.
06:45We never stop.
06:48We won't hold back with what we got.
06:52We never stop.
06:55Oh, we never stop.
06:57Oh, we never stop.
06:59We won't hold back.
07:01Oh, this is cute.
07:03We never stop.
07:05Goodness.
07:06Oh, we never stop.
07:08Okay, Napa and Texas.
07:10My intentions for this girls' trip
07:12is just for everyone to understand that we are one.
07:16I want us to come together as a unit, laugh, cry, get drunk,
07:21but no, just have a good time.
07:24Enjoy some wine.
07:25Enjoy the sunshine.

07:39Yes, man.
07:40A real dating call, girl.
07:42Yes.
07:43Baby, I have been going through it.
07:45The past few weeks have stressed me out,
07:47so I'm excited for us to just let our hair down,
07:50drink some wine, and have some fun.
07:52This is exactly what I needed.
07:54Okay.
07:55Yeah.
07:56Hello.

08:42What's up?
08:43What's up?
08:44What's up?
08:45Okay.
08:46I wore purple today because I've been wearing black a lot lately just because maybe I was
08:51feeling down, but maybe I'm outside right now.
08:53And the way you be outside and seeing me, it's a little color on your body.
08:56We must have Elena.
08:57Mm-hmm.
08:58She be lighter than me.
09:03Okay.
09:04So lunch is being prepared for us.
09:06Lunch and Tasting.
09:08Okay.
09:09There we go.
09:10Hello.
09:11Hello.
09:12Hello.
09:13I finally made it.
09:14I made it.
09:15You look good.
09:16How are you?
09:17Good.
09:18After the couple's therapy with Josh, this is exactly what I need.
09:23This is my first girl's trip.
09:25I never felt comfortable in my marriage to take a girl's trip.
09:28I don't ever feel like I was given that reassurance that it's okay to take a girl's trip.
09:34Set.
09:39You want a snack, Elena?
09:41No, I know.
09:42I'm a little, like...
09:43What's wrong?
09:44I feel shaky.
09:45You look shaky.
09:46Because I had to.
09:47I was rushing.
09:48Were you stressed?
09:49I was stressed.
09:50I hate that kind of stuff.
09:51Yeah.
09:52Well, you made it.
09:53Take some deep breaths.
09:54Calm down.
09:55Yeah.
09:56I know how that feels.
09:57That's why I noticed it.
09:58I was, like, anxious trying to get here.
09:59But I'm happy I'm here.
10:00You made it.
10:01You made it.
10:02Coming up.
10:03I dated a guy.
10:04His toenails look like sunflower seeds.
10:06Did you crack one of them?
10:07I said, is it ranch?
10:08Is it...
10:09Okay!
10:11I'm getting irritated because you keep cutting me off in the middle of my sentences.
10:14Go ahead.
10:15And you're not allowing me to speak.
10:16Go ahead.
10:17So it's getting interrupted.
10:18We can bring it down, too.
10:19Okay.
10:21He knows if I stay in this space that it's done.
10:24Would you get a divorce date?
10:25We say swirl, sniff, sip, and savor.
10:48Swirl, snoop, sip, and savor.
10:53Four S's.
10:54Four S's.
10:55Yes.
10:56I do notice Alayna's energy is just a little bit low, which is typically not herself.
11:01I mean, she's not the most energetic person out there, but this is her first girls' trip.
11:05I just thought she would have been more excited, more energetic, but she's been really quiet,
11:10so I wonder what's going on with her.
11:11So do y'all have, like, great something stuff?
11:13We have in the past.
11:14I'm going to let you guys enjoy these.
11:15Thank you, Ali.
11:16And we're going to prepare the reds, okay?
11:17Cheers.
11:18Oh, we getting reds?
11:19Yo, yesi.
11:20Oh, I was like, because baby, what about the glasses?
11:21Because I drink red.
11:22That's what she excited for.
11:24I can't get down with putting your feet in the grapes.
11:29I'm not going to be able to drink that.
11:30I would love that.
11:31I thought they were going to have them.
11:32You're going to drink it?
11:33I would drink it.
11:34But it's like all that.
11:35That's tough for me to get over the feet.
11:36I don't want it, because I need to see what the pedicure game gets.
11:39I do.
11:40I ain't going to lie.
11:41I dated a guy, his feet, his toenails look like sunflower seeds.
11:45What?
11:46I was like, what the hell?
11:47They were brown?
11:48No, hell no.
11:49They were like...
11:50They were pointy?
11:51That's fungus.
11:52No, think of a...
11:53The color.
11:54The color.
11:55It had, like, lines on his toenails.
11:58Not him.
11:59I looked at him, I said, oh, my God.
12:01Is everything okay?
12:02The visual.
12:03And then he started wiggling.
12:04He started wiggling.
12:06I said, oh, no.
12:07And then you ended the date.
12:08Yeah.
12:09Did you crack one of them?
12:10Did you crack one of them?
12:11Did you crack one of them?
12:12Did you crack?
12:13I was...
12:14Is it rinse?
12:15Is it rinse?
12:16What's going on?
12:18What's going on?
12:20I'm not a toaster.
12:21I don't do feet.
12:22I'm not sucking your feet.
12:23I would suck a lot, but I would not suck your feet.
12:32Y'all, they have cornhole.
12:34I love it.
12:36That's cheating.
12:37Apparently, I suck at this.
12:40You just throw this in the hose.
12:42They're easy.
12:45Ooh!
12:46LaToria, you made it, girl!
12:47She got it straight in there.
12:48You may need a match for the ball player, baby!
12:50Now, this is what a girl's trip is all about.
12:52Good vibes, good wine, and a good time.
12:54Keep the drinks flowing, LaBrina.
12:56Who said that right here?
12:57Yeah.
12:58LaToria.
12:59This is so nice and peaceful.
13:01I know that I'm quiet on the patio right now, but quite frankly, I have so much going on in my life.
13:07I just want to have a good time and not ruin anyone else's experience.
13:13I loved your party.
13:14It was amazing.
13:15I enjoyed every part of it.
13:16You made me feel so beautiful.
13:18You were very assertive to just details about my makeup.
13:23And I appreciate that.
13:24I actually have you looking good.
13:25You did.
13:27I had a good time.
13:28And I think for me, I'm normally used to creating those moments for everybody else.
13:32So to just be all hands off.
13:33And have it as a girl.
13:34Yeah.
13:35I think you have to do that.
13:36Girl, Nico had the time of his life.
13:38It was so refreshing seeing Nico's face.
13:41This was my first time meeting her son.
13:43He seemed to be a sponge when Lil Flip was kind of telling him about the industry.
13:48And I know they exchanged information.
13:50Lil Flip is a genuine person, and so I know they're going to be in touch.
13:53Yeah.
13:54Hearing LaToria say how impressed she was with Nico being at the party made me such a proud mom.
14:00Double fisted right here to you.
14:02Cheers.
14:03LaToria is introducing my son to people that can really change his life.
14:07It means the world to me.
14:08What made you do the announcement?
14:09I wanted to.
14:10I mean, I feel like 16 is a monumental year.
14:13I have been thinking about it for two years.
14:15After much thought, prayers, and evaluations, I will be making my exit from the Houston entertainment scene.
14:24Girl, when you dropped that ball, the room was like, ooh.
14:28I was like, yes.
14:29Some of my clients that was in there was like, what did they mean?
14:32Like, with me, my journey on how things shifted, I was a hairstylist almost 10 years.
14:38But that was my bread and butter.
14:40So when I jumped into the spa industry, I literally was living off of nothing.
14:45It was faith.
14:46Yeah.
14:47I started at a swanky old building.
14:49I didn't have a husband then.
14:51This life that's today, this today, baby, I struggled for a long time.
14:57I struggled.
14:58So I'm saying it to say, whatever you choose to transition into, believe it with all your heart.
15:06Absolutely.
15:07Bro, you look so pretty today.
15:09Really?
15:10You do.
15:11I like the purple on her.
15:12It's not just the color.
15:13It's this.
15:14It's that inner glow.
15:15The black is hard.
15:16Am I my soft girl era right now?
15:17Yes, you are.
15:18I'm so freaking happy.
15:19You look beautiful.
15:20I'm like, damn.
15:21It's even in your face.
15:22I'm just in this place right now where I'm just to myself.
15:23And like, I'm learning me all over again.
15:24And I'm just trying to just figure out, like, the stuff.
15:25Because I know who I was last week.
15:26And I knew I was six months ago.
15:27But I don't know who I am right now.
15:28So I'm in this world where I'm like, just trying to figure me out.
15:29Ooh, say that one more time.
15:30Ro, you be bald.
15:31I'm really proud of the woman that Ro has become.
15:33She's been through so much.
15:34And I'm sure all the ladies can see her grow.
15:35Baby, Ro is stepping out of her comfort zone.
15:36I had to stop living in survival mode and start living in self mode.
15:37And I feel like I'm able to talk to y'all because I've been able to talk to y'all
15:38because I've been able to talk to myself.
15:39I've been able to talk to myself.
15:40And like, I'm learning me all over again.
15:41I love that.
15:42And like, I'm learning me all over again.
15:43And I'm just trying to just figure out, like, the stuff.
15:44Because I know who I was last week.
15:45I'm really proud of the woman that Ro has become.
15:47She's been through so much.
15:48And I'm sure all the ladies can see her grow.
15:51Baby, Ro is stepping out of her comfort zone.
15:53I had to stop living in survival mode and start living in self mode.
15:56And I feel like I'm able to talk to y'all because I don't feel like when I speak,
15:59that y'all are taking on my burdens on me.
16:01And I can't do that in my regular life because I don't want my family to take on my burdens.
16:04And granted, y'all are like that, but you're not taking on my burden on where now you feel bad and you walk off.
16:08I think a lot of it, we all can relate to.
16:10It's like we all kind of been through the same thing.
16:12Even though we're all different, everybody has so many stories.
16:15All right.
16:16Y'all being too deep.
16:17Let's wrap this up.
16:18We gonna go eat.
16:19LaTori, I got your bottle.
16:20Oh, thank you.
16:21Can we save some of that for later?
16:22Muneer, why your butts so big?
16:25Coming up, you work out, don't you?
16:27I do.
16:28Y'all can tell.
16:30Tell him how you feel.
16:31He already know.
16:33You know my heart.
16:35I have a pure heart.
16:36You don't know my heart?
16:37No.
16:38I mean, really, Elena?
16:39That's what we doing?
16:40Y'all got me stressed that.
16:45Spinning like a million bucks for one.
16:47On the right, we shake it, then we throw it.
16:49Then we throw it.
16:50We ain't got no liquor last all done.
16:52We say I'm a baddie and I know it.
16:54Don't I know it?
16:55I just got my hair curled, nails done.
16:57If I get to flirting, don't you blow it?
16:59Don't you blow it?
17:00When I'm at the party, I'm a pimp, pimp.
17:02This is so beautiful.
17:03It's so beautiful.
17:04Girl, look at the little tea lights.
17:06Tonight, I'm going all out for the ladies.
17:09I set up a private chef.
17:11We're going to have dinner, all the wine you can drink,
17:15homemade dessert, under the stalls.
17:18We're just going to have a good time tonight.
17:21I want to introduce you to Chef Seven.

17:26I love a chef.
17:28Baby, Chef Seven was giving 10, OK?
17:33He was real cute.
17:34Chef Seven is going to be letting you know
17:37what is on the menu tonight.
17:39Chef Seven, thank you.

17:42Oh, hey!
17:43Yes, yes.
17:44So what you got in front of you right now,
17:45it's a spring salad.
17:46You work out, don't you?
17:47I do.
17:50Thank you, Seven and Allie.
17:52Not too much on Seven.
17:56Baby, I'm about to six, five, four, three, two, one.
17:58I want both.
17:59Thanks, Seven.
18:00Well, tell him how you feel.
18:02He already know.
18:04We have not been at this dinner for 36 seconds
18:07before Chloe starts flirting with Chef Seven.
18:11Slow down.
18:14Are you forgetting Jordan?
18:15I'm single.
18:16I'm not married.
18:17I definitely got a friend for Chloe.
18:18There's not a ring on this finger.
18:20So you have developed a relationship like this
18:22and y'all aren't exclusive?
18:24That's weird.
18:25I've always said I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket.
18:27I never do that in a relationship.
18:28I'm not married to anybody.
18:29Does he know that?
18:30He know that?
18:31He know that?
18:32You attacking me for no reason at this point.
18:34Like, let it go.
18:35Girl, go heal.
18:36I know last time we all met up,
18:38you mentioned about you and Josh going to therapy.
18:41Did you guys go?
18:42Going to couples therapy.
18:43Yeah.
18:44Were you guys able to communicate?
18:45Yeah.
18:46Yeah.
18:47The session was really heavy.
18:49Um...
18:50Own it.
18:54It's okay.
18:55So, you know, he shared a couple of things
18:57and took accountability for a couple of things.
19:01Um...
19:02Like what?
19:03Like...
19:04He took accountability for...
19:06He made some horrible investments,
19:08which, like, caused our money to, like, dwindle.
19:12Wow.
19:13I know how much that had to have hurt her
19:16because they were business partners.
19:18Your business partner makes a bad decision
19:20and it affects your business
19:22and now your household?
19:24I would be hurt too.
19:25Feel like you trust him?
19:28He knows I don't trust him.
19:30Like, he knows I don't trust him.
19:31Did you put you on the best spot?
19:32Yeah.
19:33Stocks?
19:34Gambling? What?
19:35It was...
19:36Strippers?
19:37Why you gotta know the details, Chloe?
19:38How you just wanna know?
19:39You go from stocks to strippers.
19:41I mean, that's what men do.
19:43That's reality.
19:44He was doing day trading.
19:45Okay.
19:46And he invested some
19:48and he was just trying to get it back.
19:49When the man start losing money, he start tripping.
19:51That man took your money.
19:53I get it now.
19:54I wouldn't wanna sleep when nobody took my money either.
19:56Especially my hard-earned money.
19:58Maybe in the same house, in a different room,
20:00it's being nice.
20:01That's graceful.
20:02He should've got his ass out the house.
20:04You don't feel like you could ever, like, trust him again?
20:06I feel like it's gonna take work.
20:07Would you get a divorce though?
20:08Is that something that you thought in your head before?
20:10Well, he knows if I stay in this space that, you know...
20:13He's done.
20:14But it's something that you would do if you got to that point.
20:15Sometimes you gotta let it go.
20:16I'm not in love with him.
20:23Alayna, you're not in love with him?
20:25No.
20:26It's really hard for me to admit
20:28that I'm not in love with Josh.
20:30But it's me facing my truth and living in my truth.
20:33And I'm okay with that.
20:34Would you be sleeping in separate rooms
20:36if you were in love with someone?
20:37No, sometimes people are in love with someone.
20:38Not in love.
20:39Not in love.
20:40No.
20:41I'm not in love.
20:42I'm not in love.
20:43I'm not shocked.
20:45They don't look like they're in love.
20:47Like, there's distance.
20:49Even if somebody's falling out of love, yeah, I do think there's something left to fight for.
20:53But if both people are on two separate pages, yes, it's gonna be tough to come together and make it work.
20:58Girl, what?
20:59You're not in love with him.
21:00That's why you're not wearing your ring.
21:02That's why y'all ain't having sex.
21:03It all makes sense now.
21:04Y'all not in love.
21:05You're sleeping in separate rooms, baby.
21:07It's time to let that go.
21:10A lot of times when you go through a lot, you can fall out of love with somebody.
21:13Absolutely.
21:14Resentment.
21:15Yeah, resentment is heavy.
21:17It was really like a dark cloud just hanging over you.
21:20And we all felt that.
21:22We all felt that energy time and time again.
21:25And it got to a point where it's like we want to be there for you, but sometimes it can be difficult
21:29because it's like we're starting to consume that dark energy and don't really know how to handle it.
21:34I thought that me and Manera had a deeper friendship.
21:40And it's that dark cloud comment that I have issues with.
21:44So as a friend, I don't think it should be labeled dark cloud.
21:49Do I carry it all the time?
21:50You do.
21:51You do.
21:52Not all the time, but sometimes you do.
21:54Not all the time.
21:55It made me feel uncomfortable.
21:56Like, I don't even want to say nothing.
21:57Like, it's been a lot of times.
21:58That's why a couple times I'll be like, I don't want to talk about it because I feel like I'm going to have a pen.
22:01And my pen.
22:02Hold on, hold on.
22:03And my pen is not about you being married.
22:04It's about you.
22:05If you are not happy, you need to get the .
22:09I want to work through it.
22:10I'm going to fight through it.
22:11Do you want to or you think you're supposed to?
22:12I'm supposed to and I want to.
22:14But do you really want to though?
22:15Are you going to be happy with this situation?
22:17Keep going.
22:18How much longer are you going to keep trying to make something work and in the back of your head you feel like it's not going?
22:23Is there going to be a point where you're going to stop?
22:25I'm going to wait until God tells me the direction to take.
22:30I love these ladies, but we are talking about my marriage.
22:36I'm going through what I'm going through.
22:38I feel the pain.
22:39It's the trust that has been broken for me, not for anyone else.
22:43I'm just not ready to hear anyone's opinion.
22:46It is hard to fall back in love with me.
22:48It is.
22:49I'm sorry.
22:58Coming up, knowing the extent of what I was dealing with, you're minimizing my pain that I'm going through.
23:03Absolutely not.
23:04May your growth continue to elevate you.
23:08May you never feel like I'm not good enough.
23:11May you celebrate yourself whether anybody clapped for you or not.
23:14What is that?
23:22Mineral glow?
23:23It's basically a...
23:24Body glow?
23:25What is that?
23:34Mineral glow?
23:35It's basically a...
23:37Body glow?
23:37Mm-mm.
23:38Sunscreen for your face.
23:40Mm.
23:41Like a tinted moisturizer.
23:43Ooh, that's pretty.
23:43Dinner was a little intense last night.
23:46It's a new day, and I'm just hoping to have a very peaceful morning, not talk about Josh,
23:53and just let it all go.
23:56Hey, y'all.
23:57Ooh.
23:58Hey.
23:58No, damn well y'all not eating before we got here.
24:01It is 12 o'clock.
24:03We've been up to five.
24:04If I don't eat, I get a migraine, and then I be passing out.
24:07Y'all should have just passed out.
24:08Ooh.
24:09Oh.
24:10Well, damn, bro.
24:11When it comes to eating, I'm not gonna wait for anybody.
24:13Food is always gonna come first.
24:16Who drank my apple juice?
24:17Who put the apple juice back?
24:19Who drank my apple juice back?
24:22LaToria, not me.
24:23I should have put a sign that says, do not drink my apple juice.
24:26Not me.
24:27I would never touch your apple juice.
24:28I've been lying.
24:29LaToria, we drank her apple juice.
24:30Or me.
24:31Don't do that.
24:32I just was playing with her.
24:34No.
24:34I was playing you with the apple juice.
24:36I'm so glad Muneer has found some humor in our situation.
24:40Friendships are gonna go through things.
24:42It's not gonna all be peaches and cream.
24:44Some days I may be bloated, some days you may not, but we just gonna keep it moving.
24:48And I think this is the true testament of friendship.
24:51So I have a question.
24:52I want us to go around.
24:53What has been the most impactful part of this girl's trip?
24:57Opening up is beautiful.
24:59And I truly believe in my heart of hearts, when you enter a friendship with people, my storm
25:07may not be your storm.
25:09But if I'm going through a storm, lend me your umbrella.
25:12Yeah.
25:13I know last night it was mentioned with Elena that she hadn't been herself.
25:20And it was either like a dark cloud or, you know, sometimes reaching out to...
25:24I didn't say dark cloud.
25:25I did.
25:26Why would you say dark cloud, though?
25:27You had a dark cloud over you.
25:29No, I didn't.
25:30I just want you to take this in and not be like on defense mode.
25:34I'm not on defense mode.
25:35Yes, you are.
25:36Okay.
25:36Do y'all see her face?
25:37No, I'm not.
25:38Just listen to her.
25:38I am not on defense.
25:39Elena.
25:39I would never...
25:40That's it.
25:40Let's talk to your friend.
25:42It's okay.
25:42It's okay.
25:42Go ahead.
25:42No, as your friend, I would never say that there is a dark cloud around you.
25:46I would make sure you're good.
25:47We haven't made sure you're good.
25:49So we haven't checked on you?
25:50We haven't made sure you're good?
25:52I would say no.
25:52Not through the entire process.
25:53Are you serious?
25:54Not through the entire process.
25:56Elena, are you?
25:56No.
25:56Because you wasn't sharing it with us.
25:57We didn't know it first.
25:58You were acting like your thing was good.
25:59Elena, you even saying that I wasn't there for you, I didn't check on you, what?
26:04Through the entire process, no.
26:05And I can honestly say that.
26:07It's deeper than just this conversation.
26:09So to just say that and leave it at that, that's not accurate.
26:13Because it's more to it on both sides.
26:15We had a friendship where we talked on a regular basis when you were going through everything
26:21that you went through when your dad first passed.
26:24And we got to a point where I knew personal things about you.
26:28You know personal things about me.
26:30Is that true?
26:31Right.
26:32Okay.
26:32Elena doesn't feel like I support her, but she's also failing to tell the whole story.
26:38At the time, I was going through not one, not two, but seven different deaths in my
26:43family in a short time period.
26:45And although she was going through the loss that she experienced, I'm human too.
26:50And we never talked about what I was going through.
26:52What you want is somebody to call you every single day and check on you every single day.
26:57I can't do that.
26:59I can't give that to you.
27:00I don't expect that at all.
27:00But there were several times where I have done that.
27:03I have done what I could and I have checked on you time and time again.
27:07I cannot take that much negative energy over and over.
27:10Negative?
27:11I don't think it was negative.
27:13I don't think what I gave you was negative energy.
27:16It's just simply being transparent and telling you what I'm dealing with.
27:20And we all tell each other what you're dealing with.
27:21The thing is, I'm always going to check in.
27:24We checked in, Elena?
27:25Elena?
27:25No.
27:26I'm going to be honest and say no.
27:28I'm going to be honest too.
27:38The thing is, I'm always going to check in.
27:41I'm always going to check in.
27:42We checked in, Elena?
27:42I didn't want to deal with the energy that I was receiving.
27:46What I'm dealing with, it's extremely hurtful.
27:49I thought that she would have a little bit more empathy and that wasn't the case.
27:53As a friend, I don't like those words of the dark cloud.
27:57And I think what you're doing is taking certain words and hanging on to those words and not
28:02seeing the bigger picture.
28:02I mean, but that's what was sad.
28:03The biggest part about this, you felt Muneer wasn't there for you.
28:07That's what ended up becoming a thing in this moment.
28:11Like, I'm hearing the dark cloud.
28:12I'm hearing all...
28:13That's not the problem here.
28:14I think there's a level of expectation that she may have had toward you.
28:18But you can't have these levels of expectations if you don't extend the same thing.
28:23I think I do.
28:24But I don't think you do.
28:26Friendships are a two-way street.
28:27You're not the only person going through things.
28:30I'm not the only person...
28:30And I don't...
28:31I definitely don't make it seem that way.
28:32Can you not take offense to every single thing that I'm saying?
28:35Because I feel like every time I talk, you cut me off.
28:38No, I don't like that.
28:39Because I can't even get my thoughts out without you cutting me off in the middle of it.
28:44And then it's like you're dissecting everything that I'm saying word for word for word
28:48and not taking in what I'm trying to come in.
28:50I am.
28:51We can bring it down, too.
28:53Okay.
28:54But again, when I talk like that, it's because I'm getting irritated
28:57because you keep cutting me off in the middle of my sentence.
29:00Okay.
29:00And you're not allowing me to speak my entire thought process.
29:04Go ahead.
29:04So it's getting interrupted.
29:06Okay.
29:07My close friends would never say dark cloud.
29:10My close friends wouldn't say, I don't want to call you every day.
29:14They would be like, I see what you're going through.
29:16Y'all have history.
29:17Y'all are good friends.
29:18What are we doing?
29:19We didn't come here for this.
29:21I think that Elena is going through something.
29:24So everything is triggering her.
29:26Everything is bothering her.
29:28She's just not in the right, happy, healthy space.
29:32If you come to me and you're dealing with something heavy,
29:34I'm not going to use those words with you where I feel like you're a burden.
29:38Elena, let me tell you something.
29:39I'm never going to.
29:40I just, as a friend, would never use that for you.
29:42And that's it.
29:43That's it.
29:43Elena.
29:43That's all.
29:44You know my heart.
29:45I have a pure heart.
29:46You don't know my heart?
29:48No.
29:48I mean, really, Elena?
29:51That's what we're doing?
29:52And it's moments like that that makes me pull back.
29:54Because when she's upset, she throws slugs and hits below the belt.
29:58I know my heart.
29:59We had our moments and you was crying and saying what you were feeling and all of that.
30:03I was there.
30:04I have never not been there in a moment.
30:07But to say I don't know your heart, that's like...
30:12Mine is being questioned as well.
30:13Y'all got me stressed at it.
30:32Y'all need to talk.
30:43How are you?
30:48How are you feeling?
30:50I'm disappointed.
30:51I am disappointed too.
30:52I'm so disappointed.
30:53I don't know how the conversation got to that point.
30:56So I approached Manera because I want her to know where I stand.
31:01First, before starting anything, I love you.
31:04I want you to understand that.
31:05I don't understand that.
31:06I love you like a sister.
31:08I don't understand.
31:08I don't understand why you don't understand that.
31:11You said, I don't know your heart.
31:13It's hard to hear that and then hear, but I love you.
31:16I genuinely love you and I love you as a friend.
31:19One thing I noticed about her is when things are good, things are good.
31:23But anytime she gets upset, she starts saying stuff out of pocket.
31:26And to me, I'm like, if you're going to say that when you're upset, that's probably how you really feel.
31:30I want to be here for you.
31:32I also want you to be here for me.
31:34And I think that's what's missing right now.
31:38I think a friend should show up being careful about their words and not making me feel unsafe in the moment.
31:46In the moment that is actually important and needed, I show up.
31:51Showing up would have been like, yeah, okay, maybe I shouldn't have approached it with a dark cloud.
31:55I feel like as a friend, a close friend would not say that.
31:59You're minimizing my pain that I'm going through.
32:01Absolutely not minimizing my pain.
32:02Let me finish.
32:03That comment basically represents negativity, knowing the extent of what I was dealing with.
32:10From my heart.
32:12Yeah.
32:12I was not saying it in a way to come across that way.
32:15In my mind, it's okay to have a dark presence about you because, no, no, no.
32:21And live in that moment because that's something that you're going through.
32:25I guess I don't like the dark.
32:26And that's something, that's a word that you don't like.
32:29Maybe triggered by.
32:30And triggered by.
32:31But what I'm saying is, just like you don't like the whole dark cloud comment, it's hard
32:36for me to hear that you love me when you say you don't know my heart.
32:40I was upset in the moment.
32:41It was a jab.
32:42It was a jab.
32:43Words can hurt, right?
32:45But I think sometimes we have to know that in those moments, we're putting too much emphasis
32:52on the word and maybe not considering the person.
32:56The entire message sometimes.
32:58The message.
32:58Yeah.
32:59I'm doing the best I can.
33:00Yeah, I think we all are.
33:01And I know you are too.
33:01Yeah.
33:02I think we're all doing the best we can.
33:04They say we in it.
33:05We're here.
33:07Is this a conversation between us and them?
33:09Because I thought it was like just us.
33:10They're making sure it stays cordial.
33:11They're making sure that it's going to.
33:13Oh, it's good.
33:13No, it's good.
33:14No, it's good.
33:14I'm just, I'm playing, obviously.
33:17We were open and honest.
33:19And although everything didn't feel good, there's growth from here.
33:24I love you.
33:25I love you too.
33:25I love you.
33:26Come here.
33:28I'm looking like, wait, you're about to say.
33:29Come here.
33:30Come here.
33:40Midway through the night, I'm hearing like a.
33:42I said, Dana, where is the, I said, where is the damn grizzly bears at?
33:49I'm going to go, I said, damn, Elena was in the bear with me.
33:53You can't talk, Latoya, because you were snoring too.
33:56Was I snoring?
33:57Yes.
33:58I'm so happy that Elena and Manira decided to reconcile their differences
34:06so we can leave this weekend in peace, exude happiness and love, baby.
34:13I want to give all of y'all something.
34:15What you got?
34:16She got that money.
34:17She can give us a horse.
34:18I want the ladies to feel so loved and just cherished from this weekend.
34:23So I have something special for them.
34:25First on my list is Manira.
34:29The word I have for you is peace.
34:31Yes, and that's why I have white flowers for you.
34:37I appreciate that.
34:37Because I know that you have fought for your peace with your family,
34:43within your mom, Norm,
34:47and you are definitely a person that they lean on always.
34:54Having Labrina just give me the white flowers that represent peace
34:58and what I've fought to to get to the place that I'm at,
35:00it was definitely a reflection of me, Manira, as a person.
35:05And I love that she respects that about me.
35:07Elena, the words that I have for you is own it.
35:12And yours is very colorful.
35:15I love that.
35:16Because it's full of new beginnings
35:19and you have definitely owned who you're becoming.
35:24And I am so proud of what that looks like for you.
35:28Labrina is so thoughtful.
35:31It's so her giving me these colorful flowers,
35:34representing new beginnings.
35:35Yes, that's where I am.
35:37I think I'm in that space of relearning myself and starting over.
35:43And I love that she sees me.
35:45And she's just so beautiful in every way.
35:48Latoria, so you have orange flowers.
35:52So the orange is a representation of confidence on the thousands.
35:59It's beautiful to watch.
36:01You spoke so highly about your dad.
36:04And I saw a lack of emotional confidence.
36:11And now it's like your confidence is so strong.
36:14I've watched you heal and transform.
36:18I'm back, baby.
36:19For this.
36:19I'm back, baby.
36:22I appreciate this.
36:24I'm a flower girl, honey.
36:25I love good flowers.
36:26I love fresh flowers.
36:27But I also love meaningful flowers.
36:29And so to see that everybody has a different color
36:32and it represents something about them.
36:35Good thinking, LaBrina.
36:38Chloe, I got you yellow.
36:40Thank you, Brina.
36:41And yellow is for forgiveness.
36:43Oh.
36:45I feel you should truly forgive yourself
36:49for all the things in your past.
36:51Everything you feel like, you felt short in life.
36:55Turn the corner and let bygones be bygones.
36:58Grow and evolve in what's new.
37:01I appreciate that.
37:02I need to do that, too.
37:03Yeah.
37:04I realize that I do need to forgive myself
37:06for how I handled Nico when my husband passed away.
37:09Unfortunately, I can't change what has already happened.
37:13But I can definitely give Nico what he needs
37:15to move forward and be successful.
37:17Next up is Ro.
37:20Oh.
37:22Go, Ro.
37:22Go, Ro.
37:23I got you red because it symbolizes love.
37:26I feel that you have walked into a new place.
37:34Yours is making me emotional.
37:35Oh.
37:38I'm going to cry because I'm going to cry.
37:39And I'm proud that you are embracing love, loving yourself,
37:46understanding your worth, which is very hard to do.
37:50So I had to get you red.
37:52That's so sweet.
37:52This is my favorite, too.
37:54Both flowers.
37:55It's fitting.
37:56Now I need to get a real look.
37:58Thank you so much.
37:59You're welcome.
38:00You're so sweet.
38:01You're so sweet.
38:01You're so sweet.
38:01You're so sweet.
38:02You're so sweet.
38:02You're so sweet.
38:02It's like right here in my heart.
38:04Thank you so much.
38:05You're welcome.
38:06What LaBrina said made me emotional because having self-love
38:09is something that I struggle with.
38:10Going forward, my life is going to be better
38:12because I know my worth.
38:14I know you gave everybody their flowers.
38:16I'm just going to take one out of mine.
38:18Oh, my God.
38:19We all take one out of ours.
38:21Everybody.
38:21I'm going to give you one and pass it down,
38:23and I want everybody to do it to her so she can have her own bouquet.
38:28Oftentimes, the giver is not always the receiver.
38:32I wanted to make sure LaBrina felt the love in the moment
38:37and to let her know that she is blossoming as well.
38:41May your growth continue to elevate you.
38:44May you stand 10 toes down on who you are, where you want to go.
38:49May you self-embody the women empowerment that you sow into others.
38:55May you never feel like I'm not good enough.
38:58May you celebrate yourself, whether anybody clapped for you or not.
39:05But pass this to LaBrina, and I want everybody to sow into our host as well.
39:10And you got to know that you pour so much into other people,
39:13people need to pour back into you.
39:14I'm intentional with who I surround myself with.
39:18I pour into you, you pour into me.
39:20I love those kind of friendships.
39:22You have a calling from God.
39:24Yes, she does.
39:25And I want you to just know that.
39:26It's about connecting with other women and just sharing our life experiences
39:29and knowing that you're not alone in this journey.
39:32Seeing the people that you actually touch
39:34and how it impacts their lives in a better way.
39:37Words can't even describe it.
39:39God always places people where you have those voids to fill you up.
39:44I'm so proud of you.
39:46When you experience that love, it's something you can never forget.
39:51I love you.
39:52I love you too.
39:56The classiest thing from 5th Ward.
40:16Can I ask y'all a serious question?
40:18Was the crab cake salty?
40:19I can't take you seriously.
40:20Was the crab cake salty last night?
40:22They were good.
40:23I love you.
40:34I love you too.
40:35I love you.
40:35I'm going to let you crazy as hell.
40:36I'm not crazy.
40:37I'm just triggered.
40:46Well, I'm energized.
40:47I'm ready to get my day started.
40:58Grab your flowers.
41:00I need my seaweed.
41:00In this friendship circle, I don't care if you're going through it.
