Hi and welcome to the show.
Speaker 2:I'm Caroline and I'm Jill, and this is Two Old Nola Chicks. As usual, this is off the cuff, as you can tell. Yeah, I was just thinking about something I forgot to say.
Speaker 1:We're starting good right out of the shed, right, right, all right.
Speaker 2:So and it's off the cuff. Why it's off the cuff? Because we don't know what we're talking about until we pick the name out of and we got rid of our bag. Know what we're talking about until we pick the name out of and we got rid of our bag. We now have an actual hat and we're going to pick the name out of the hat of what we're going to be talking about, so we know when you know, we know, when you know it's a very nice hat.
Speaker 1:By the way, it's my husband's, it's very nice. Yeah, I'm sure he looks good in it. Yes, he looks hot. Yeah, how was your week?
Speaker 2:Oh, let me think about it. It's only Tuesday, but yeah it was good, last week was good. Yeah, we're going on vacation next week, so Excellent. Yeah, we haven't been in like three years. Where are you going? We go up to Pigeon Porch, that's right To Dollywood. Yes, we kind of just do what we know, like, let's just stay with what we know. That's a good thing. We don't venture out, that's a good thing. And everybody loves Dolly, so yeah, I do for sure.
Speaker 1:All right. So you want to pick? Go ahead? All right, this is a Caroline pick, so Is it? Oh, you can tell I'm scared. Oh, this is a good one, okay. People who have impacted your life.
Speaker 2:Okay, got it.
Speaker 1:I think you have a lot.
Speaker 2:I do have a lot. I do have a lot. I have a lot of people who have impacted my life, for the good and for the bad. And I read this thing one time, not that long ago, that John Maxwell said and he has a whole book on it. It says sometimes you live and sometimes you learn. So I don't think that it's people who oh, that's a bad person and they did this and this and this. I think those are just people that you learn from wrong and they impact your life by, I guess, doing something to you or you know, let's say, somebody you get fired from a job, or somebody who just gave you a hard time at a job, or a friend who really just did you wrong, and then you know it could come back from it. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:So let's start with the good. What you got, I would have to say, like right off the top of my head, it would have to be my music teacher from high school, miss Frosh. She was, or she's I mean, she's not like she's gone, she's still here and we're friends. She was just as a teacher. She was phenomenal, right. I mean, she taught us so much about music and about being in a choir. She was an amazing choir director and she taught us really how to work as a team.
Speaker 1:I don't know that people often think of choirs as a team. You know, you think, oh, you play football, that's great, you learn as a team, but choir is too. And she really taught us how to work as a team. And we did, we did phenomenal stuff, man. We went to state two years in a row. The two years that I was in chorale, which was my junior and senior year we went to state, got superiors both a year, and I'll never forget. We're on stage and we're singing. I can't remember the song now, but we're singing and she's directing us and these tears just start coming down her face and we were all like, I think, probably thinking the same thing like man, were you. Okay, I think what we were thinking was we're doing really good, oh, okay, yeah, because that would be the only reason she would cry at that point.
Speaker 1:Man, she was so proud of us, but she, just she was the kind of not only was she a great teacher and a great mentor and taught us so much about music, but she also I took piano with her for a year in my sophomore year, and so every week I'd go to her mom's house where the piano was and, man, every week she would get on me. Well, your biology teacher's telling me this and your civic teacher's telling me this. So what's going on? And it was just constant because I hated homework, I didn't study, I didn't do homework, I was not that kid in school and she was just always on me and I just, you know, looking back, that's really cool, it is, and rare. Yeah, exactly so she's one person that has really. She's one of those people that I'll never forget.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a great story. Unfortunately, I didn't have that. After high school, I think they couldn't wait for me to leave Probably me too. And I was a teacher for a little bit in my life and I always felt like I wasn't really the best teacher as far as what I was teaching in the subject, but I did try to be there for the kids and encourage them, and so it's really important. I think that there's so many people like so many people my mom and my kids and so many people in my life.
Speaker 2:But I will tell you this and I've told people this before when I met Joey, my husband and you know Joey wasn't like he told me this himself when we met. He says I just want to let you know, I'm always the friend, I'm always the best friend, and I just thought that was really funny, like on our first date. He said that because he was always like the sidekick, never the boyfriend, and I never saw that as a potential for me. I always saw him as no like. I want to be with this guy because I had been with people that had been terrible, and so I saw this sweet soul and you know I was raised Catholic. He was not Catholic, he was Methodist, which I was really cool with.
Speaker 2:My mother tried or, as a side note, my mother tried for years to tell him hey, you know, catechism's starting this fall and you can become a Catholic. And one day he points to me, he goes you think I want to be like her? You think you think I want to live my life engulfed with guilt for every single thing that I do. And that was the last time my mom asked Wow, but anyway, if I would say, a month after I met my husband, if I would have died that next day after a month, day 31 of knowing this man, then I would have known what it is to truly be loved. That's awesome. And I did not know that in my life until I met him.
Speaker 2:Wow, and it's a lot to say, because to be loved, you don't need conditions. With that, I'll love you if you do this, I'll love you when you do this. To just love somebody unconditionally was not something that I had ever experienced before, and so that is who I and I didn't say this when we talked about that, but it's like marry, whoever says, hey, that's, I don't go out with him, but he's my friend, hey, let me meet him. That's who you want. You want the good guy, right? You don't want the badass, you want the good guy, exactly. So as far as like the good of impact, I would say that it's him. That's awesome and everything else branched from him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I could say that about Jeff too, and I know if I asked him this question which this is a topic that comes up every once in a while for us. Jeff is really good at asking questions. If you could spend the weekend with three people that are alive, who would they be? Right, that's Jeff in a nutshell. He loves to ask those kind of questions and they spark really good conversation. Yeah, but he would say the people that impacted his life the most, off the top of his head, would probably be his football coaches, and I can totally see that. But I agree with you and what you're saying, because Jeff is.
Speaker 1:I think Jeff and Joey would really get along. Yeah, he's just a really good person and he's helped me over the last 20 years be who I am today and that's just. That's big. And he's one of those people and I'm sure Joey's the same way. They're always doing things and it may be annoying at times, but they're always doing things to try to help you be a better person and that's just yeah. And I know I said this in the what Makes a Great Husband episode, but if Jeff wouldn't have been in my life, if he wasn't in my life, I would probably be somebody very different. Right now I don't know what that would look like, but it would be different, yeah For sure. So, jeff. So I would say, yeah, ms Frosh, jeff, two really good people that have impacted my life, yeah, in very positive ways.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and not to be. You've told me like we've talked about like high school and being in school and that kind of thing, and I've always said to you I hated high school, I couldn't wait to leave, never been back, definitely wouldn't send my kids there, and you've always said I loved it.
Speaker 1:I loved it. I hated the work, but I loved the social aspects of it.
Speaker 2:I mean we had a little group. That was nice to have that little group, but to feel like so I had a just terrible learning disability. And back then it was like, okay, they moved you through elementary school and I'm talking about like in the seventies and early eighties. They moved you through elementary school and especially in like the private and Catholic schools, and then once you got to high school, like you got on the homemaker's track let me teach you how to sew and let me teach you how to cook and Let me teach you how to sew and let me teach you how to cook and let me teach you how to paint and stuff like that, because you're not going to be like this college graduate, you're just going to get married after high school. It was still going on and it was such a short amount of time. I know that the kids today may think short amount of time, my gosh. You might as well have been a hundred years ago, but in my mind it wasn't that long ago and when I look back to that, wow, that was just the 80s and they still had that mentality. So I was grouped into that and you know, when I graduated from high school, really I had never read a book Like I'd never, you know I could read, but couldn't not well. Book Like I'd never, you know I could read, but couldn't not well. And really, other than the art teacher, who was this old nun, sister Baptist, she took an interest in me painting and that was really why I went to school.
Speaker 2:But everybody else, I just have such resentment because nobody actually took the time to say, hey, this little girl needs help, instead of just passing me through. Yeah, I think people knew that we had a really bad home life and I think they felt sorry for me, like okay, we don't want to make it even worse. Just okay, move them through. Yeah, just okay, move them through. You know, and so you know. Just speak for myself, even though I feel like some of my siblings also had the same learning disability as did my father, and so I don't like really talking about my past too much, because it's pain that I cannot change and it wasn't just like a few people who let me down, it was a lot of people who let me down. And so I guess, right now, where I'm at in my life, now I try, even when it doesn't feel comfortable, I try to make an impact on people's life, even when it doesn't feel comfortable. Yeah, it doesn't feel comfortable for me to talk about this. Yeah, you know what I mean, mm-hmm, but it's. Maybe somebody else feels the same way. I mean, carolyn, I'm not mad at you or anything, but when you're telling your story I was like listen to this bitch, sorry, okay, just rubbing it in my face.
Speaker 2:No, but I mean, I think in this day and age, like I have had kids my own children, like with learning disabilities and drug problems, and it was just so many different issues that you can't just run from that and just try to pretend like that's not there. And I, you know, came up with the term. I have a friend of mine who loves this term that I use and I always she says, how'd you get through it? I said, oh, I just loved him through it. I wailed it out, just wailed it out, loved him through it. Yeah, because they're going to come out as long as you believe in them. And if there are things that you can do to help them, you do everything that you can. That's talking about adult children.
Speaker 2:But when kids are little and you see them struggling, I just passed through and really just could not read and remember like cheating on test and looking on my friend's paper during math, because I didn't have a clue. I really didn't have a clue, so I came out of it. It took me nine years to graduate from college. I taught myself how to read. I took algebra two or three times I finally caught on to it, and so I feel like I'm not only an educated person but hard earned.
Speaker 2:But it was all on me Like I had to put myself taking care of myself, right. So I have to not let myself have like go down the rabbit hole. But I think that's for a lot of people where you know, you have people a lot worse off who were like, well, guess what, jill, I was homeless when I was little and people used to pass me on the street and not do a thing, and they are absolutely 100% correct and they have a reason to be upset about that that. We, you know we fail our children, we fail our people. But the only thing that you can do about that is to look back on it and say if someone wasn't impactful to me, I know how that feels. So therefore I will be the best person to be impactful, because I know what it's like to not have someone care Right, and I think the people who make an impact in the world care oh definitely they care, definitely.
Speaker 1:I'll say this if it makes you feel any better. I still don't understand algebra. So, I don't understand that either. So, but, um, yeah, I mean I was fortunate and most of my teachers were, were good and they seemed to care. You know, miss frosh was probably the one that really made it a point. Yeah, to say, hey, what's going on?
Speaker 2:yeah, I mean keyed into that like she saw wow, okay, this girl is, she's talented.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna key into that, right, yeah because I mean, like you're talking about grammar school and everything. Yeah, I mean that was the same way in grammar school. I didn't care, I didn't. I wasn't interested in doing homework, I wasn't interested in studying or passing tests. Yeah, but nobody thinking about it. Now that we're talking about this, I never had a teacher say what's going on. They just let me fail.
Speaker 2:You know.
Speaker 2:Think that when we were growing up here in the New Orleans area, we went to Catholic schools and had a Catholic school in every corner and it was a lot of pressure and guilt on the parents that, no matter what, it didn't matter. If you had to eat beans five days a week, okay, you would pay for that school. And so you know we had what? 35 kids at least in our classrooms with one teacher, and sometimes, you know, we had none. Sometimes we had lay people but they made like no money at all. And I've been in a classroom before and I've been in business before. You know what Sometimes, yes, financially, it does inspire you to go in and do your best. It does Sure, you know we're human and I can imagine that back then and even now, because I know some schools are still like that, you know they're putting 30 kids in a class. I found a school for my kids that you know it's 15 or less in a class and it's worked for us. I know that the public schools have gone to lesser numbers 20, maybe 25. But my goodness, I didn't just remember everything. Just being on top, it was not even manageable. So it's, yes, they did pass this by, but I don't know that they had that much of a choice back then. I think it's still just as hard now to pay attention to kids when they give the teachers so much paperwork to do, especially in the public schools, that they paperwork the teachers right out the door. Yeah, I can see that, you know it really does.
Speaker 2:Like just talking about impact on people, I think that it's important to know that parents and teachers are the most impactful people to the children. Definitely that there are, and their, their whole life, and grandparents too, but these people who are in these children's lives day in, day out, what you say to them is going to stick, definitely. So it's hard to encourage a child who is making all Fs. You know, don't worry, you know you can be president of the United States, but what you can say is you know you are important and you're meant to do great and wonderful things. I think the greatest people who've had the greatest impact on the city of New Orleans are the air conditioned repairmen. Oh, I would agree with that. They're the real heroes, definitely, because really, I don't think I don't know how like they lived without it.
Speaker 1:I don't either. I mean that had to be. I mean we go without air conditioning for a day, I know, and we're dying.
Speaker 2:I know, I know we get in like hotel rooms and stuff. Yeah, exactly so, anyway. So what about bad impact? What about you for bad impact?
Speaker 1:Hmm, Bad impact. You know, I don't know that I've ever given that a whole lot of thought. Bad impact Do you have one off the top of your head?
Speaker 2:Well, I do. I think that I had. I mean, honestly it was with a priest, and I hate to even bring that up because it's you know, I'm not trying to like be anti-Catholic or anything like that. I mean, I don't practice Catholicism anymore, but I hate to like.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of good people in the Catholic Church. There are, and what I always say is it doesn't matter what the denomination is. You're always going to have a lot of good people and a lot of not so good people.
Speaker 2:Right. But when you have powerful people and they tell you, no matter what you do, god will never forgive you, yeah, that's not true. When somebody tells you that, it impacts you for many, many years, some people may have it for the rest of their life. It wasn't until 10 years ago that I realized that I was lied to. Oh wow, I was 50. I realized that I was lied to. Oh wow, I was 50. Wow, and I was lied to. And I remember where I was.
Speaker 2:I was crossing the UAP Long Bridge and I was listening to something on the radio, some song I don't even know what it was and all of a sudden it came in my head you were lied to. This is who lied to you. Don't let other people speak for me. And I really felt like it was a really spiritual message that said you've been lied to, I'm a really great guy, don't let people talk about me like that. What are they talking about? And I remember thinking to myself or even saying it out loud you know, god, I'm really sorry. People have really bad-mouthed you for so many years.
Speaker 2:So that's kind of was like one of the biggest impacts of my life, when I felt like you know, no matter what I did, that I was, you know, this terrible person and maybe that priest, because you had a very we talked about this priest and you said, wow, we loved him, he was great. Yes, and I don't even want to say what it was about that. He told me that. But looking back, and looking back as a mother of, if I were a mother of that 18-year-old, if a priest told my daughter that I mean really, I just I would flip. So that kind of started like an inner sadness for a very long time that no matter what I did, it was never going to be good enough to get into heaven.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:That's sad, it is, yeah, and so it angers me that he told me that because, you know, when I was 50 and then I started calculating all of the things going on, that was covered up. I really got angry and I haven't returned. I really got angry, yeah, because't returned. I really got angry yeah. Because I thought how dare you yeah.
Speaker 1:That was and, like you said, I know who you're talking about and that was not. I mean, I'm not saying I knew him really well, I think you probably knew him better than I did but when you told me who it was, I was surprised, right yeah.
Speaker 2:And it wasn't, you know, just him. It was the entire organization that had the greatest impact on me personally in my life, more than just growing up really hard, more than not being able to read, more than being 100 pounds overweight, more than anything it was that organization, yeah, and when everything came out, I no longer believed in what they were saying and knew I had to find, like, a different path. But really I didn't realize, like this massive, how much it had impacted my life, to the point of really, in certain aspects, just paralyzing in my life. Yet I look at my life and I think but I did things anyway, but I could have gotten better, boy, what could I have been, yeah, what could I have been if somebody hadn't told me that I was nothing, wow, you know, that's to tell anybody, that is just man, but that happens all the time, caroline, it's still happening.
Speaker 1:Oh for sure, it happens everywhere.
Speaker 2:It still happens. It still happens, not just in Catholicism. It happens at other churches, it happens with schools, it happens with parents, it happens with grandparents and I'm like we all say things we don't mean, but you have to think about the position that you're in and what you're saying to somebody Exactly, and how you would feel if you were on the other side of this Exactly.
Speaker 1:I know, for me, you know, talking about that and just talking about people that have impacted our lives, whether it's positive or negative, I want to be a person that people remember as a positive impact. So somebody asked them the same question who's a person that has impacted your life? This girl, caroline. When I started at New Heights as a volunteer, I would think to myself I might just be a volunteer, but when these riders and we have riders who are kids and we have riders who are adults, all sorts of disabilities, right, I want them to look back years from now and think I remember that lady. Wow, she was really something, she really impacted my life.
Speaker 2:She said I could do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I feel the same way about the volunteers, you know, and they've impacted my life too in the last couple of years, because, as their volunteer coordinator, I'm essentially their leader and I want to be one to encourage them and just be there for them, not just as a volunteer but as a friend, as just another person, like I'm there for them. And I let them know that quite often. And I want them to look back and say, yeah, caroline made an impact on my life too, right. An impact on my life too right, because that's I've always.
Speaker 1:I've always been a person who wanted to be kind, right, but ever since becoming a volunteer coordinator for these guys, because they're all such cool people too and they, I mean all different types of people but I've I don't know, I don't. It's interesting, because it's really. It's brought something out in me where it's like I look at every day that I'm with them as an opportunity to be kind and to make an impact in somebody's life, and for me that's just I don't know, man, I just think that's cool. Who wouldn't want to do that? Who's the person who would say to a kid you're nothing, you can't do that, you'll never be able to do that?
Speaker 1:A lot of people.
Speaker 2:Well, most definitely yeah, because they think kids aren't going to remember it. Man, kids, kids remember it, they remember everything, they carry it with you Absolutely. And they remember authority of both of our instances you bringing out your high school teacher and then me bringing out a similar time in my life. We both reflected on younger years of impact, of how we were impacted by those people I have right now. So, to have a present impact, I work for a gentleman and I met him a few years back and after I sold my business, honestly, I expected everybody in the world to be like, oh Jill, come work for me, you're so great at what you do, you know. And the phone never rang. And I met him a couple of years later at my daughter's wedding and started talking to him. We sat there for two hours and talked. He looks at me. He says why aren't you working for me? I mean, gosh, you know a lot, let me let you come run a couple of my companies, which I do. And he was texting me today, as a matter of fact, and he has a new project. He goes hey, you can be able to handle this new project we've got going on, or whatever. Sure, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 2:But he's so inspiring because he looks like he's about 50 years old. Okay, he's in his 70s. Wow, he has nothing in his eyesight for a million miles down the road, has him retiring. He just keeps going and he finds good people and he brings them along the ride and there's never a time where he is just not upbeat and wow, joe, you're really something. Yeah, you really. Wow. Call and say hey, here's our numbers for this month or whatever what. Wow, look at you, you are something and it's just. He's so like. Just, I mean, he pays me, I mean it's not like he's a dad figure or anything like that. He's not even old enough to be my dad and just is a wonderful example of someone. When you live your life encouraging others, then it makes a difference in the whole world.
Speaker 1:Yeah for sure, absolutely yeah. Yeah, it's important, it's super important, I think, for people to encourage people. I mean, iron sharpens iron. We need each other Right, and if you have people in your life that are putting you down or telling you you can't do this or you can't do that or you'll never be anything, man, you don't need those people Right, but as a kid, there's nothing you can do. There's nothing you can do right, but I'll tell you right now, as your friend, you got it going on.
Speaker 2:And you can do anything.
Speaker 1:Anything you put your mind to you can do, and all that stuff that people told you all those years ago. Right, it's a bunch of baloney, right.
Speaker 2:I wish I had known that. Yeah, I lived a lot of sad, hard years because of it and you came from that era in my life and so sometimes it's hard for me to be around people who are from that era of my life because I don't like to talk about it, right. That's why I never really go into any kind of real details, especially when we're talking on a podcast. But it's just whatever it is that someone has told you that's negative.
Speaker 2:You really need to look at that and say could that possibly be true? Like if you're laying on the couch all day and your mom comes to you and she says, you know, you've been laying on the couch for a week, you're pretty lazy Maybe turn around to yourself and say, could that be true? And the answer would be yes, you're lazy, but it could also be that you're depressed. So it could be a couple of things. Maybe you lay in there because you regulate, but for the most part you know you have to ask yourself could that be true? And answer yourself with the correct answer, because only you know that answer and be honest with yourself and there's a big difference between, let's say, constructive criticism and just being horrible.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, some people are just horrible and other people give you constructive criticism and maybe they don't give it to you in a way that's encouraging. Yeah, maybe they don't know how to do that, but there's definitely a difference there. Mm-hmm, you know, and, like you say, you know, if you can be honest with yourself anybody not you, but anybody and say, oh, maybe they have a point Right.
Speaker 2:Maybe they have a point. Maybe I can do better, I can help myself more, or whatever.
Speaker 2:Jeff tells me things quite often that I don't really want to hear. But he's right, yeah, yeah. My husband told me one day this is many years ago and I was like really upset because I felt like the business that I was in at the time that people were taking advantage of me. This boy tells me he says honestly, jill, if you were as big of a bitch to the rest of the world as you are to me, you'd own the planet.
Speaker 2:And he was right, that's right, he's right I mean, of course he started laughing after, so we can kill him, right, exactly.
Speaker 2:But, um, yeah, so sometimes you know, and and I've read about children when children or or your, your wife or your husband, whatever, sometimes when they are like you're the only one, like they're showing the bad mood too, or something like that, it's because they know that they have your love, no matter what.
Speaker 2:They don't have to keep testing it out, they already know it's rock solid, right, you know. So for Joey, him saying that was true, but I never questioned that he loved me, so I never felt bad about snapping at him or saying I mean we had seven kids, so give me a break. I mean you know, but pregnant and breastfeeding for 26 years, you know, I mean we had seven kids, so give me a break. But pregnant and breastfeeding for 26 years, you know, I mean God. But I think, with getting back to just the impact on your life, you have to look at the good and you have to look at the bad, and then you have to, at some point in your life, put those together. As, like John Maxwell says, sometimes you live and sometimes you learn, definitely.

Speaker 1:I had somebody tell me one time I was like a therapist. I don't remember who it was, but it was years ago and they said well, your childhood just seems like it was sunshine and rainbows and balloons. I'm like that kind of was, yeah, and I kind of feel bad about that sometimes, but I can't help it. Can I speak for the rest of the world?
Speaker 2:We want you to feel bad.
