00:00What did you write your girlfriend as a kid?
00:08I think getting to enjoy the simple things in life.
00:11Because of course when you're growing up, when you're in your twenties or thirties,
00:14you're always trying to reach a certain goal, always wanna do certain things,
00:18that you forget about the simple things in life that make you happy.
00:21But when you see your child for the first time and you see them, you know,
00:26watch a butterfly for an hour or play with a block for two hours,
00:31you're like, that's the need. You don't need much.
00:34You just need simple things is what's going to make you happy.
00:37So I'm really happier now with the kid.
00:40But the transition, I know, but I want to talk about this.
00:43The transition from being considered an it girl
00:46with your friends, our friends,
00:49to the marriage, to being a mother,
00:52how's that journey?
00:54Very natural.
00:56Because I think all of us kind of entered motherhood in the same time.
01:01We were married.
01:02Almost.
01:03Actually, almost all the same within two years.
01:06And then we all had our kids.
01:08They're all the same age.
01:09I think our youngest is like three, Bella and I.
01:12And the oldest would be Georgina's.
01:14But we're all kind of evolving at the same time.
01:17So if there are problems, if there are questions,
01:21we all have each other.
01:22And that's the great thing.
01:23Was that a pressure?
01:24Sorry, Shalene, to cut you there.
01:25Was it a pressure to be tagged,
01:28to be labeled as an it girl?
01:31So that actually, we didn't know what an it girl was.
01:34When they would call us it girls,
01:35we were like,
01:36what does it mean to be it girls?
01:38And until today, people still ask me,
01:40are you happy to become it girl?
01:42So I was trying to think,
01:42what would an it girl be?
01:43So for me, there wasn't any pressure
01:47because it was a natural friendship.
01:48So that's what I think made us it.
01:50That's what you're thinking.
01:51Yeah, because natural friendship,
01:54no competition.
01:54Because usually, when it's a girl,
01:56there's a catfights, there's competition.
01:59But we all pull each other up.
02:01We all look up to each other.
02:02So if Georgina's doing something great,
02:04oh, she's capable of doing that.
02:06I'm also capable.
02:07So we have that pull.
02:10Okay, and you thought that was what being it girls
02:13was all about.
02:15Exactly, and being successful in our own terms,
02:17successful in our own ways.
02:19But you know that to be an it girl
02:20is somebody, you know, hot.
02:23Oh, really?
02:24Some of the most desired young women in the country.
02:28You know, you look at them,
02:30what they're going to see.
02:31You know, that kind of stuff.
02:33You later realize that it was what it was.
02:36Yeah, no, I mean,
02:37for me, it's really about the friendship.
02:39I think people think where friendship goes.
02:42For me, if it has to do with anything,
02:45like dress, how we dress and everything,
02:47I'm not at all a fashionista.
02:50So I definitely can't be it
02:51if that's the definition.
02:54People know me.
02:55I mean, I'll dress up for showbiz.
02:57But in my life, if you see me,
02:59I'm not wearing makeup.
03:00I'm just in my shorts or my t-shirt
03:01and my sneakers.
03:04Every designer bag I have,
03:05it's a gift.
03:06I don't want to buy.
03:07There are those, right?
03:08In other words,
03:11I'm not wearing makeup.
03:12I'm wearing makeup.
03:12I'm wearing makeup.
03:13That's for sure.
03:14Okay, we'll talk about that later.
03:16But mother, let's go back to that.
03:18What kind of a mother are you?
03:20I'm chill.
03:21I'm not very strict.
03:22Because I'm the most strict.
03:25Strict, I'm the most strict.
03:26Depending on what we're talking about.
03:28Of course, nutrition.
03:29So I'm super strict.
03:29I'm more like,
03:31okay, I'll treat you with an ice cream
03:32at the end of the day
03:33if you were good to me all day.
03:35Because sometimes,
03:36I'm like,
03:36it's so chaotic
03:37to be a mother.
03:39Sometimes, I'm like,
03:39but I love them to death.
03:42But you have so many emotions
03:43as a mom.
03:44You know what?
03:44When I became a mom,
03:45all my feelings
03:46just intensified.
03:48Like, if I love,
03:49I love more.
03:50If I was angry,
03:51I was more angry.
03:52If I hated,
03:53I hated more.
03:53Like, all of them intensified.
03:55So sometimes,
03:56you don't understand
03:57what's happening inside.
03:58Okay.
03:58It's like,
03:59it's just an explosion
04:01of feelings.
04:01It's really.
04:15It's really.
04:37Yeah.
04:40Yeah.
04:40Yeah.
04:43Yeah.
04:45Yeah.
