00:00I loved learning more about your relationship with your mom, Holly, and how strong it was

00:04throughout not only your time on the show, but now, and how influential she was in the making

00:08of this book. Did it kind of re-instill for you, like, the power of that relationship?

00:12Yes. Well, my mom has been, like, my day one. Like, she's my person. Like, she's definitely,

00:17like, my best friend. She genuinely is my whole world. Like, I dedicated the book to her,

00:25and even in the acknowledgements. I'm like, this book is as much hers as it is mine. Like,

00:30our stories are, like, they're one and the same, you know? Like, we went through so much together,

00:36and she just fought for me every single day, and she still fights for me every single day,

00:41and I'm so grateful that I have that relationship with my mom because I realize, especially as an

00:47adult now, that's not always the case. Not even just, like, from the show. I just know that having

00:53that kind of bond with your mom is, like, not always common, and I feel so blessed that I have

00:59that relationship with her, and I cannot believe how she kept herself together the whole entire time.

01:06She never cursed once, which is crazy for reality TV to, like, never curse, but she really was such

01:14a, like, a great role model to look up to for me. I'm so grateful that she was with me every step of

01:20the way and just kind of guided me through things. Even though she had never been on reality TV,

01:26she still low-key knew how to handle certain situations, and I just, I love that she wasn't

01:34a doormat, and she always stood up for me.
