spk_0 Welcome back to the Overcome for Podcasts. I'm your host, Jennifer Lopez. Thank you guys so
spk_0 much for choosing to tune in and listen to this episode wherever you guys are at. I am honored
spk_0 to have you guys here to be watching and listening. We are doing an updated Q&A, okay? It has been
spk_0 a minute. I love doing these now and then to see where you guys is. Head is at if you guys have
spk_0 any questions about what I'm doing on social media or my personal life. Oh, wow, we are going to
spk_0 make a matcha. Comment down below if you are a matcha girl or a coffee girl. I'm both, but lately,
spk_0 I have really just been into my matcha kick. So actually, I need to turn on this water and once it's
spk_0 boiled, I will start the process. I already have like my cup of hot milk in here. I like doing
spk_0 them hot because they just, I feel like they feel better to me. Anyways, okay, so while that's
spk_0 heating up, we are going to get into these questions. I asked you guys to ask me questions on
spk_0 Snapchat, Instagram, my broadcast channel. If you guys are not in that broadcast channel,
spk_0 make sure you go ahead and join. I would love to be, I would love for you guys to be a part of
spk_0 that family there. And we're just going to jump right into it. We have dating questions. We have
spk_0 weight loss questions. We have faith questions, which I'm all excited for. Okay, so I think
spk_0 one of the most obvious questions here because there's like a bunch of like the same one is weight loss.
spk_0 What's the tip and tricks? So I just did an episode about finding and maintaining motivation.
spk_0 Watch that first. Then second step is really just getting to it, getting into the gym, really staying
spk_0 locked in and focused at least for me. I feel like it has just helped my mental health. It's helped my
spk_0 everyday life, the way I feel. Something that I really enjoy. I love doing. Eating healthy.
spk_0 I've turned away from processed foods. I know it's something a little bit difficult, but it is
spk_0 something so simple and so easy. I've turned to whole foods, so a lot of just fruits and vegetables
spk_0 and proteins. And yeah, you just got to stay motivated. You got to stay locked in and you got to
spk_0 really just keep pushing and remember why you're doing it. What's one thing you've learned about
spk_0 love that didn't come from a relationship? That is a great question. Okay, I think that love requires
spk_0 boundaries. Even with friends and family, it teaches you to like say no and still care
spk_0 deeply, but still honoring and loving yourself at the same time. So if anything, love has taught me
spk_0 boundaries. Have you ever been afraid to trust God with your love life? You guys are going to
spk_0 really deep this time. Oh my gosh, okay. I have because I feel like I've talked about it a lot
spk_0 on the podcast, but I haven't seen it for a hot minute and which I used to just, I feel like it
spk_0 was giving dust before, but now I'm kind of just over it and letting it enjoy my waiting season
spk_0 and enjoying this time of like, okay, I need to be better at certain things before I can add somebody
spk_0 onto my life onto something that's so important to me. I want to be whole. I want to be better,
spk_0 but trusting God in that process like knowing like, okay, knowing that God has something better
spk_0 for when that I have, because sometimes I do be getting bored, you guys. I've been getting bored
spk_0 and I just, you know, I want to do dumb things, but I don't. I do not. I fight the boredom and I just
spk_0 continue to trust God because surrendering feels like giving up control, but I know that if I don't
spk_0 force it, it's going to be so much better. So it's been the journey. It's been tough. What was your
spk_0 I made it moment with your podcast? I don't know. I feel like just the podcast and growth in general
spk_0 has really just pushed me to be like, wow, I'm still lucky to be able to do this. I'm still
spk_0 lucky to be able to talk and motivate people and to take people on this journey with me because
spk_0 if you've seen from season one, like the growth and where I was at has led me to where I'm at now
spk_0 and I'm so proud of myself and I'm proud of how far the podcast has come and all the guests that
spk_0 have been on the podcast. It's been a journey and it's been beautiful and I'm just grateful
spk_0 for that in general. Do you eventually plan to get more surgery for weight loss?
spk_0 Or why didn't you just get plastic surgery for weight loss? Okay. People love to be a little
spk_0 bit nosy about why didn't get this surgery or why I did or whatever, but this is why. One because
spk_0 surgery is expensive. Two, I want to be also proud of myself and be able to say that I did this
spk_0 without having to do surgery. Three, because I just didn't want to and four, I don't think that
spk_0 I plan on getting any other surgery. As of right now, I don't know maybe later maybe after I have
spk_0 kids who knows, like this is what I'm feeling right now, right now, no. But just a reminder, I have
spk_0 gotten like my tummy tuck, I've gotten BBL and the other, I've got my breast done.
spk_0 So I've done those things, but as far as like anything else for weight loss, like I'm happy with
spk_0 where I'm at now. Obviously it's still a journey and still things that I have to work on, but I'm
spk_0 happy. I'm happy with where I'm at. Alright, we're gonna go on a quick break and we'll be right back
spk_0 to answer more of your guys' questions. Welcome back you guys.
spk_0 Ooh, the pressure of social media on adolescents to maintain.
spk_0 Hi there, this is Josh Clark from the Stuff You Should Know podcast. If you've been thinking,
spk_0 man alive, I could go for some good True Crime podcast episodes, then if we got good news for you,
spk_0 Stuff You Should Know just released a playlist of 12 of our best true crime episodes of all time.
spk_0 There's a shootout on broad daylight, people using axes in really terrible ways,
spk_0 disappearances, legendary heists the whole nine yards. So check out the Stuff You Should Know

spk_0 At 19, Elena Sada believed she had found her calling.
spk_0 In the new season of Sacred Scandal, we pull back the curtain on a live built on devotion and
spk_0 deception. A man of God, Marcial Masiel, looked at Elena in the eye and promised her a life of
spk_0 purpose within the Legion of Christ. My name is Elena Sada and this is my story.
spk_0 Is the story of how I learned to hide, to cry, to survive and eventually how I got out?
spk_0 This season on Sacred Scandal hear the full story from the woman who lived it,
spk_0 witness the journey from the vowed follower to the terming survivor as Elena exposes the man
spk_0 behind the cloth and the system that protected him. Even the darkest secrets eventually find
spk_0 their way to the light. Listen to Sacred Scandal, the many secrets of Marcial Masiel as part of the
spk_0 Michael Tura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get her podcasts.
spk_0 Better at protecting black women. My contribution is shining a light on our missing sisters
spk_0 and amplifying their disregarded stories. Stories like Tamika Anderson. As she drove toward Galvez,
spk_0 she was in contact with several people, talking on the phone as she made her way to what should have
spk_0 been a routine transaction. But Tamika never bought the car and she never returned home that day.
spk_0 One podcast, one mission, save our girls. Join the search as we explore the chilling cases
spk_0 of missing and murdered black women and girls. Listen to hunting for answers every week day
spk_0 on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
spk_0 But the humility in knowing that life is this classroom that we should never graduate from
spk_0 is what is going to keep you growing and that's all that matters.
spk_0 World Mental Health Day is around the corner and on my podcast,
spk_0 Jess Hill with Dr. Jay, I dive into what it really means to care for your mind, body and spirit.
spk_0 From breaking generational patterns to building emotional capacity, healing is a journey and
spk_0 wholeness is the destination. I'm going to walk away feeling very healed and killing like,
spk_0 yes, I'm going to continue my healing journey and I'm going to get some keys from you.
spk_0 Listen to Jess Hill with Dr. Jay from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app,
spk_0 Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
spk_0 Their beauty standard status. Do you still struggle with body image even now?
spk_0 Love that question, which is something that is like a great question because, yes,
spk_0 it's not like necessarily a destination body, like loving yourself and loving your body,
spk_0 but it's like a daily choice and daily decision that some days you have to make that choice
spk_0 to love yourself and it is so hard. Like I do deal with body dysmorphia, I do do waking up on
spk_0 the daily and looking in the mirror and not being happy with what I'm looking at.
spk_0 Some days I look bloated, some days I just don't look my best, but I have to remind myself of my
spk_0 worth and who I am and that I'm loved no matter what, but yes, I do deal with that and it is
spk_0 something that I'm working on till this day. And as far as like beauty standards and
spk_0 all that, like I again, I look at myself in the mirror and I'll remind myself like, okay,
spk_0 I have nieces, I have people that I want to inspire and have them look up to and remind them,
spk_0 but it's not just how you fell on the outside, it's what you feel on the inside and if you feel
spk_0 loved and you feel full cared for and strong on the inside, then that's all that matters.
spk_0 Would you date an influencer or anybody that you have previously filmed with?
spk_0 That seems like a trick question. I've filmed with lots, lots of people, so you have to be a little
spk_0 bit more specific than that, but as far as an influencer, look, I'm not going to knock anything that
spk_0 is coming my way or that I feel like is sent from God. I do feel like we both have to be on the
spk_0 same page as far as what we're saying and what we're sharing. I do like my my love life or my
spk_0 that life to be very private. I saw something on Instagram where it's like public but private and
spk_0 it's like, yeah, you pump private, but you know that I'm dating somebody just to have that line
spk_0 of respect because I don't feel like everybody needs to be in the business, but I wouldn't knock it,
spk_0 I just, you know, yeah, whatever that means. Okay. How do you balance faith with being real and not
spk_0 overly churchy? That's a great question. I think when I'm speaking in general to God,
spk_0 I just talked to him like a person. He just wants like just an honest conversation like as a friend,
spk_0 I as if like just a regular person, I don't take it super far with him.
spk_0 And I don't really want to filter my faith or who I am for Instagram. Some people like get upset or
spk_0 get mad or have these expectations on Christians or realistically, we're all human. And it's like
spk_0 dude, I'm going to fail. I'm going to sin. I'm going to not be perfect. And you have to get that in
spk_0 your head. The goal is to always like treat people better and love people and love people the way
spk_0 that Jesus loves them. And I feel like that's the ultimate gift that anybody can give versus the
spk_0 sins that someone is committing or doing. Like you got to like stop holding people at this
spk_0 standard because at the end of the day, we're human and we make mistakes. You can't judge somebody
spk_0 for doing something that you wouldn't do or whatever. Like we're all on the same journey and
spk_0 everyone has their own convictions. What really matters is like our relationship and how we talk to
spk_0 God and how much we practice and putting how much we practice and put him in our lives.
spk_0 What are your red flags? What are your red flags when you're talking to someone new?
spk_0 I have a lot. I'm just kidding. I feel like inconsistency. Inconsistency and over promising.
spk_0 Why? Because I'm a woman of my word and I need you to be a man of your word. I need you to
spk_0 also have those deep conversations with me.
spk_0 And be comfortable. Yeah, like those are moments. If we're looking, if we're going to be locked in,
spk_0 like we need to have this mutual understanding. And if you're over promising, if you're
spk_0 love bombing me, if you're like promising and saying all these things and you're not really
spk_0 going to fulfill that, then I don't want that. And that's a red flag for me.
spk_0 I feel like when someone doesn't try too hard or when someone is just themselves and honest,
spk_0 like that is a green flag. When they're not pursuing you, when they're not, I don't say not
spk_0 pursuing you, but when it's just mature, you'll realize when it's mature and genuine,
spk_0 that that's healthy. Instead of like, oh, texting every day, texting all day, all night going,
spk_0 I don't know. Like, it has to be a balance. I guess we'll go into the next one,
spk_0 which is how is dating life? Oh, you guys. Honestly, I like I answered the question before. I'm
spk_0 chill season. Like, I'm not, I'm not expecting anything anymore. Like, I'm going to take whatever
spk_0 God is sending my way. I know what's good. I know what's not good. I know what's like mature. I know
spk_0 what I want. Even if it's, I can't, I have to like, remember to not settle. I feel like I've lived
spk_0 long enough to like, I lived long enough and I lived through some things that I'm just like,
spk_0 yeah, no, I can't, I'm not going to be putting up with this. I'm not going to be doing this over and
spk_0 over again. And whatever that is, you know, so right now, you know, this is the answer, the question
spk_0 to answer, the short term is like, am I dating? No. Is there potential candidates that I'm just
spk_0 maybe, but not really, to be honest, I'm just enjoying this single season and waiting season
spk_0 and viewing it as preparation and enjoying my life to be quite honest. Wow, got much on me.
spk_0 What is your current fitness or wellness goal? That's a great question, too.
spk_0 I am not looking to lose weight. It's not about weight. I just want to gain more strength and endurance
spk_0 and mood. I just want to feel good in my skin period. What's the hardest boundary you've ever had
spk_0 to set in dating? Cutting some onoff that I've had a chemistry with
spk_0 because they're inconsistent because they are just not living up to their word or just not really,
spk_0 yeah, being who they said they were, like energy isn't enough when there's like the sense of
spk_0 piecing. I'm 28. I'm turning 28. Like, there's no more time to waste. Like, I'm not putting like a
spk_0 timeline on you, but again, I'm just looking for maturity and looking for consistency. There's a lot
spk_0 of people that just want to mess around and I'm not here for it. Like, I'm just not going to be
spk_0 doing this back and forth over and over again. Like, way too grown for that.
spk_0 All right, we're going to go on a quick break and we'll be right back to answer more of your
spk_0 guys' questions. Welcome back, you guys. Oh, how do you handle your emotions?
spk_0 Hi there. This is Josh Clark from the Stuff You Should Know podcast. If you've been thinking,

spk_0 At 19, Elena Sada believed she had found her calling.
spk_0 In the new season of Sacred Scandal, we pull back the curtain on a live built on the
spk_0 ocean and deception. Amen of God, Martial Masiel, Luke the Lena in the eye and promise her a life
spk_0 of purpose within the Legion of Christ. My name is Elena Sada and this is my story.
spk_0 Is the story of how I learned to hide, to cry, to survive and eventually how I got out?

spk_0 Listen to Jess Hill with Dr. Jay from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app,
spk_0 Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. When you're tempted to text someone toxic,
spk_0 first of all, honey. Block them. That's it. I'm just kidding. I would write it in my notes instead
spk_0 and then I would block. Because you know why? What you're feeling right now is just temporary.
spk_0 That sense of just like, oh, I'm upset. I need to text him and whatever. You don't even have to be
spk_0 upset. You can just be bored and want to do it. But it's like, no, trust me, blocking them.
spk_0 You know how many people I've locked? I don't do it to have bad burning bridges or bad
spk_0 whatever with these people. I just feel like it's just better. We're not meeting I now.
spk_0 Why am I going to keep that door open? Why am I going to keep having that temptation be there and
spk_0 entertaining the idea of maybe possible? Like, no. Go right in your notes. Call a friend
spk_0 and you'll feel better in 10 minutes. Trust me. Stop going through their Instagram. Stop looking for
spk_0 them. Stop making fake pages to go look at their Instagrams. Don't be toxic about it. Just
spk_0 stop. Stop doing it. If you want to move on, then move on. Because the only person that's
spk_0 holding you back is yourself. What do you do when you're doing everything right spiritually,
spk_0 but still feel stuck? I'm loving that I'm getting a lot of faithful questions. I like that.
spk_0 I think, and I feel like this has happened to me too and it's a season that I'm currently in,
spk_0 is stop performing. Stop seeing it as something as a job or something that
spk_0 when we have these checklists, we're burning ourselves out. So just sit back, chill,
spk_0 and talk to God like he's a friend.
spk_0 What helped your faith grow the most this past year?
spk_0 I think
spk_0 going through situations that have required, not required, but have resulted in pain, grieving.
spk_0 I think I felt God more, more comfort from God in those silent moments.
spk_0 Then I ever did just like when everything was clear and pretty. I felt God closer when I was just
spk_0 in pain and realizing, starting to know like, okay, this is what he's trying to teach me and
spk_0 trying to guide me. You start to fall in love with God more when you just see it as like, okay,
spk_0 all he asks of me is just to be faithful and obedient to him and to trust him. And sometimes
spk_0 that's really, really hard, especially when things happen to like family or close friends or
spk_0 whatever, like it's just really, really hard to trust in those moments, but I do feel like that's
spk_0 what draws me closer and knowing that that's my lifeline, that's what's going to keep me going and
spk_0 keep me alive. Are you still abstin-ing it? Actually, yes I am. I have been, I have enjoyed it.
spk_0 Honestly, it's just like kind of a way off my shoulders, especially if like your girl,
spk_0 like it's just like, okay, I don't got a trip or I'm going to worry about this. No, but really,
spk_0 it's honestly like made me feel more confident in my body. Weird to say.
spk_0 I've enjoyed the piece. I've enjoyed not having like a soul tie and I feel like I've talked
spk_0 about it with you guys, but if you guys don't know, I do believe in soul ties. I do believe that
spk_0 when you do interchange or have sex with somebody like whatever that person has been through or
spk_0 the other person that they've had sex with kind of just really, it does come to you and then it
spk_0 just turns into that and I had to realize that after the last person that I was with and this is
spk_0 very vulnerable and kind of exposing, but it is just like, it's real. Like I remember like the last
spk_0 person that I was with that person had just been very anxious and depressed and then a couple days
spk_0 later, like I just started feeling that too and it was weird because I had felt like I let go of
spk_0 that anxiety and love that depression, but it's really true. Like I didn't have a reason why
spk_0 and then I just put two in together and then when I stopped talking to that person, when I
spk_0 stopped doing things with that person, like it just felt better and I felt like myself again.
spk_0 So yeah, it really does matter and I'm still upset and I'm very proud of it and I plan to stick
spk_0 to it for a long time and hopefully the person that I'm with, my partner can understand that and
spk_0 we can be on the same page about it. I've gotten a lot of questions about my brand over comfort and
spk_0 about coming out with my own clothing line, all that stuff. Look, to be quite honest,
spk_0 did I close over comfort? Yes, I did. I did. I do not
spk_0 I kind of did it silently. Look, there's things that are for people and things that aren't. I am
spk_0 happy, I'm grateful for what I did have and what I was able to sell and give you guys,
spk_0 but I don't think selling is for me. I don't think selling merchandise in general is for me. I think that
spk_0 I just, I love being able to communicate and have these open conversation with you guys,
spk_0 but some people do great at it. So yeah, as far as over comfort, yes, but there is something new
spk_0 in the works that doesn't have to do with merchandise or selling anything. It's very exciting.
spk_0 So if they get to share with you guys, would you date someone from a different religion than what
spk_0 you believe? If you guys are Christian, then you guys know the answer and if you don't and if
spk_0 you aren't, then you would know, then you should know, but I will obviously talk about being
spk_0 equally yoked and unequally, two people that just aren't on the same page do not mesh well.
spk_0 They don't go together. They don't, things just, it just doesn't work out that way.
spk_0 So for me, I personally do not think so. I, not that I don't think so, it's probably a hard
spk_0 know where I just feel like because when you raise kids, when you are like thinking of future
spk_0 plans or whatever, you want to be able to be on the same page. Like for me,
spk_0 like, I want to be able to present my kid. I believe in baptism. I believe that they should be
spk_0 raised in the Christian faith. I don't believe that they should be raised in the Catholic faith
spk_0 where they believe in the saints are getting baptized when they're kids, all that. Like all that
spk_0 matters when you're raising kids. And those are foundations that you need to have and set before
spk_0 you like commit yourself to somebody. Those are the uncomfortable conversations that you need to have
spk_0 and to know like, okay, is this person for me or not? Okay. Last question so that we can wrap it up.
spk_0 What's your biggest glow up moment? Physically, mentally or spiritually? I'm going to say
spk_0 all the above. I think each one has its own personal year. I feel like last year was my mental
spk_0 glow up. I feel like I really healed myself mentally, my anxiety. And this year definitely
spk_0 has to be my physical and my spiritual. I got baptizes here. I'm looking the best that I ever
spk_0 have in my life, which I'm grateful for. I'm just happy with life in general. I feel like once I've
spk_0 really set myself goals and really set my eyes on God and really realize like, okay, the important
spk_0 kids of just taking care of yourself and who's feeding into you and what you're doing on the daily
spk_0 really matters. It's just helped me. It's helped me just enjoy life for what it is. I have a great
spk_0 circle. I have great friends. I love going to church. I love the church that I go to. It's not toxic.
spk_0 It's not, I don't feel betrayed. I don't feel like I'm getting hurt there. My relationship with God
spk_0 more than anything outside of the church is great. I just feel like, you know, once you start putting
spk_0 things into perspective and you start seeing life differently and you start seeing it the way that
spk_0 God wants you to, you start just seeing everything beautiful and life is great. And I'm just grateful
spk_0 to be in this position to be able to have the knowledge, to be able to speak to you guys, to have
spk_0 a better platform to encourage and to motivate you guys. And if me going to the gym every day and
spk_0 posting about it or me talking about God or sharing my journey with you guys is motivating, then I'm
spk_0 going to keep doing it and not just for myself, but for you guys too. And for our future generations
spk_0 because the world gets ugly and they're mean and just uncomfortable. But I'm here to just
spk_0 remind you guys that life is beautiful and you can have the same glow up or experience that I have had.
spk_0 And yeah, so without further ado, we're going to do our Bible verse of the day
spk_0 just so that we can all stay connected and enjoy it. Ready? Bible verse of the day is 1 Peter 510.
spk_0 After you have suffered a little while, he will restore support and strengthen you. This one has
spk_0 definitely been a personal Bible verse for me lately when I feel like I've been through so much
spk_0 and experienced a lot. I always have to go back around myself that God is going to restore me,
spk_0 strengthen me and support me. And I'm not in this alone. And neither are you guys. Thank you
spk_0 guys so much for your questions. Thank you guys for being here tuning in. Make sure you guys like,
spk_0 comments, subscribe. Let me know which guests, which topics, which recipes you guys would like to see
