  1. All right, so you are in the thick of it, and from what I gather from what you're telling me, you were never sort of sitting around dreaming up ideas or just imagining a future where you would do something else, right? I mean, you were focused on being a mom.

  4. I was so happy Oh, I was so happy. I was so in heaven with my kids. And I remember waking up and doing all the laundry and doing all the cleaning. And at one point, I had four babies under four. Like for one and zero.

  5. Yes, yes, it was incredible. He went on to work at a place called Texas Commercial Energy and worked there for two, three years, and the same thing happened at Texas Commercial Energy.

  6. Right, right. And so that was, I thought, you know, this is good. We can have this little, we're comfortable and we could have our, I didn't know how many kids I'd have. I thought I could handle two. And he already had two kids from a previous marriage. But right when Chloe turned one, my daughter, Chloe turned one. I found out that day that Charles had lost his job and Ron was going under.

  7. I met my husband when I was 30, and I was set up on a blind date. And I knew it right when I saw him. I literally saw him walking towards me, and it was a blind date. And I said to myself out loud, the party's over. That's it. I recognized him. It's weird. It was really weird.

  8. Wasn't a good student. No, I didn't like school. I didn't even think of myself as very smart. I just kind of couldn't focus in school. And it was stressful and it was kind of a sad, a little bit of a sad time for me. It came later. I did well in college, but I was a cheerleader and I always wanted to be like my mom and get married and have babies. And that's just super honest. It doesn't sound very admirable. I just wanted to get married and have kids. That's what I knew. That's what my mom did. And so that's what I thought. Was right for me.

  9. But she did have an idea and a brother-in-law who was willing to give her the initial seed money. Tiffany found a drunk elephant in her mid-40s, and professional branding people were convinced she was making every mistake in the book. For starters, everyone hated the name Drunk Elephant. What's that have to do with skincare? Most people she spoke to also hated the packaging and colors. And she was advised not to focus on higher-end retailers like Sephora. But Tiffany followed her instincts and figured out how to build a brand that spoke to thousands of women, even kids have gone crazy for drunk elephant. The brand recently saw an explosion of interest in its products among tween girls as young as eight and nine. Much of it fueled by TikTok. Anyway, Tiffany grew up in Texas in Houston to be exact. Her dad was actually the quarterback for the Houston.

  10. Right, it was. But that's all I had. I only had one shot. And I was tired of worrying about the future, and tired of worrying about, I just didn't want to worry anymore.

  11. You know, one of my favorite parts of traveling is getting a feel for a neighborhood, the way locals do. A few summers ago, I was in Rome and stayed in an apartment I booked on Airbnb. It was tucked in a quiet neighborhood just outside the Roman forum. Every morning I'd walk to the corner cafe, grab an espresso, and just watch the world go by outside. I even managed to chat with the owner about the neighborhood he lived in for nearly forty years. And he got me thinking about my own neighborhood. There are incredible hiking trails and great restaurants and, of course, the beach. And when I'm traveling this summer, listing my own place on Airbnb could be a really smart way to let someone else experience the area the way I do, like a local. Listing your home on Airbnb while you're traveling is a great way to make some extra money. You could put the money toward your next trip. Your home might be worth more than you think.
