 I'm an everyday woman, woman, woman And never we were, yeah, yeah I'm living my life, life, life Living day by day Welcome to Every Way Woman There are some major changes happening in the talk show world Live from Los Angeles, here's Every Way Woman There are some major changes happening in the talk show world I want to talk about it, ladies Well, yes, there are changes because I think that the producers and the executive producers and head of networks are just trying to find their place and they really have lost touch with their audience That's what I think that's happening Why do you think they've lost touch, Manson? I think they're a little bit too focused on a younger, richer socio-economic class that doesn't really exist except for in a very small percentage Well, it exists on, you know, the real teenagers of Beverly Hills but that was not how I grew up in Grand Rapids Right, no, it isn't, and you're right Reality TV, in its way, has wreaked havoc on our household and on our women And also, I don't think personally that the producers are willing to take a risk This is a conversation that we have among ourselves and we talk about other shows and why some make it and some don't And I always go back to the Katy Kerou show because it's such a, what a great opportunity for America's sweetheart I loved her I know, right? But she did not take advantage of what she had to offer older women Right And she could have, she had a built-in audience that she didn't go after Well, that's because she had this formula that everybody else has been using It doesn't work The risk taking, and not taking a risk, and not at every way woman We want to take a risk because there's so many other women out there Right, and the risk that we want to take is we want to reach out to real women Do you relate to anything right now? I do because at the same time, a lot of the times when the shows out there they look into ratings So when they pick somebody, they pick them because they're popular But at the same time, do they bring rating? So that's how they end up, you know, whatever you want to know Do you feel like you're ever considering you, Anna, as a Latina? You know, you're in your 30s Do you feel like you're ever being considered by these producers? No, actually no I'm happy to be a part of this because you don't see a lot of Latinos, Latinas out there, you know, in the industry as in talk shows Right I love to see that I think they're going after the Latina market I think they're going after it for the wrong reason, what you say, for ratings I don't think they're really putting a lot of consideration into who they're casting to be Right, and who is actually connecting with them and who is actually watching them And I don't know if they're representing the culture as well that comes behind it And it's not just the strict culture from where it comes from But how that is melted into, what's the culture now But I think you see it a lot in the Spanish, in the Spanish channel Do you really see Latinos really out there, unless it's like a sitcom or something? Right, and that's where I went Madison and I thought about creating Every Way Woman I think one of the main sticking points was that we wanted a show that other people can relate to And didn't feel like, well, I'm just a consolation viewer I have no choice Madison, what was that like for you? What sparked Every Way Woman? For me, it was getting into touch with being domestic Because before getting married, I was not really a domestic kind of woman I was out, I was just living free, I didn't care where my underwear ended up And it ended up on the floor What I mean is on the floor, it ended up on the floor You know, after getting married, putting clothes on the floor was not okay anymore All of a sudden, I needed to know how to do a lot of things that I didn't do before I remember a conversation we had on almost the same topic I remember Madison and I was like, we want to show that women can feel like they can do it themselves And we go back to your wedding cake And I remember you telling me about your wedding cake Martha Stewart, I watched Martha Stewart She was like middle class, forever mom type of woman So I looked up to her because she was the only one out there She was the closest person that I could relate to And I'm half Korean So she put out a book of wedding cakes that said that I can make a wedding cake And I thought, okay, my husband-to-be is super picky He wants to have this special fondant icing And Martha Stewart says I can do it So, all right, I'm gonna do it I'm gonna do it, my wedding night Okay, my wedding night You did it on your wedding night At 4 a.m. in the morning, I am rolling out this dough Fondant, are you kidding me? No, I had no idea Don't wear it in the book, you need a spatula the size of a dining table In order to lift this frosting up and put it on a cake Not as new or crazy Absolutely But that was who I was relating to Because she was the only one out there And I was so frustrated Because that's not part of who I am But I was trying to be somebody I was But it was actually kind of the building blocks everyone Because we were talking about, okay They're doing stuff that's not real And real women are trying to do it And they can't do it And they're so frustrated And they were so frustrated And do you know at Ralph's, I asked what a truffle was And they sent me to the chocolate section which I went to But there's a nut called a truffle And you don't shade that You want a truffle oil Yes, I shade chocolate truffles into my shrimp dish My 15 minute shrimp dish Are you kidding me? Because I didn't know And that's really what the show is about Because we wanted to educate people have fun And at the same time Because a lot of people didn't know anything And we were both saying What was that point for you? We were just that conversation And we both realized Mads didn't realize We needed this information to be in one spot And balancing a chuckbuck I'm never going to Yolanda But I don't understand why at the end of the month I'm getting bound here and there and everywhere And Yolanda looked at me and went That's the problem Nobody ever taught us how to do these things No one teaches this stuff And sometimes some people can only learn From television, from people in the media Or from our friends That's from our friends Or from our coworkers Or from our mothers Or from our You know what, YouTube doesn't know it all I'll tell you that Because I can Google some answers And then I try it And I still... It's not for real I think it's a beautiful thing Being a part of this panel And a part of the show Because the other... Just like two days ago Wait, wait, yesterday I'm sorry, yesterday That's okay I just stopped at Starbucks You know, paying for my mocha And then she just... The girl, she was like in a 26 Caucasian And she was just like Oh my god Like, you know I can't believe you're here And she took a picture with me You got my eyes That's the one you connected with And because you provided something for her That she wasn't able to get somewhere And you also... That I gave... Well, she goes You give me hope And honestly, that's what made me really... And you became real to her Yes I think I texted you And I'm like that And I am... Every time you say it I kind of cry Because that was the whole purpose Of doing the show It was beautiful It was beautiful So, you know Beyond hope What are you hoping to leave With the women who are watching Or men Better watching the show That, you know what Don't give up I think the show is about Not giving up And be who you are Be true to yourself And be who you are Different women Different conversations Different opinions It's always great You're on Every Way Woman Stay tuned Are you an Every Way Woman That's more Every Way Woman Everyone says that breakfast Is the most important meal of the day But dinner time is family time Does that take precedence? Let's find out Dinner time is family time But sometimes it's a lost art You want to... How do you feel about this? You know, to me dinner Is the most important time of the day Because it's the one time That the entire family Really have an opportunity to get You know breakfast or rushing You can have lunch at school Or at work Yeah, except for Unless you live in a two income household Because I know for me Dinner time was very important But it didn't work for me Because when I was at home My husband was at work Yeah, and that's the struggle To have those moments So you would eat with your kids Or did you wait for your husband? I know I'd eat with my kids Because I wouldn't see him until 4 in the morning And sometimes not the next day Well, for me it's different I'm single, don't have a family So... So what is dinner time for you? Friend of a TV Friend of a TV on the road? On the road And I understand because I'm single as well But then sometimes, you know They even say I take my so far But... Norse! But I do agree that dinner time Is one of the most important times And it is family time And it is a time that should be Honored because I would change things up I have some of the best conversations With my kids over dinner But how do you instigate that Because even the children now Are sitting at the tables With their iPads Some of them even have iPads In your house, maybe You're not in my house I don't have kids But you know, I have friends Who will sit their children down In front of their iPads They're being unconscious And also the parents don't realize That that is such a valuable time It's a lesson of teaching Opportunity to see what's going on In their day How is their school And that's what you find out About your kids Through their conversations And things like that So it's a lost art Yes Because for some reason we think Hey, we don't have to have A little bit of old fashioned values But those old fashioned values Is what shape us And plus Didn't some of your best memories You were raised With these old fashioned values Yes, I was too But didn't some of your best memories Come from around I hold them right here Because I remember, you know Anniversaries Our family used to actually celebrate it Include us, give us presents My mom would do this whole thing Of even menus On the dinner table I remember a beautiful We didn't have dinner time And that was because Of two working parents And so dinner time quite often For me was We go get our own bowl of rice And I learned how to cook hot dogs When I was like four So that was dinner time for me And I think that was something That I longed for And I missed growing up Was having that connection When I went to family's houses And they had dinner time I looked around and went Wow, I'm really lonely at home My family really made a point To have a Sunday family dinner But if that included a pot roast I had other plans I mean, it's still good this day My mom makes pot roast I'm not there for dinner I love you mom But it's just so funny And she always thought that was A good mom goal To serve a roast And have this family dinner And this family time And we can dedicate Sundays to that And even now as a single woman I try and open my doors on a Sunday And you know, anybody can come over And I'll cook for you And we'll have dinner Because I want to include that In my life It's funny And have that community That you mentioned like Sunday Because I don't know if you know This about black people Like Friday is fish and spaghetti night I mean, you can't Fish and spaghetti Yes, yes Fried fish And spaghetti And you cannot go to a single place It's not too many black homes You can go to on a Friday They did not serve any fish You eat fried fish on spaghetti Yeah, no, fish and spaghetti And spaghetti It's like chicken and waffles Maybe They do have that You can get chicken and waffles now We had designated days Where you knew what you were having For that dinner And it was every week So our director She always tells me this story About her mom How Tuesday was a bad day And every Tuesday Growing up with pizza nights I mean, they just, you know They knew That this is how it's going to be done I have to tell you We really didn't eat out growing up And that's why I have So many memories around dinner time Or food in general Because I didn't know people ate out on holidays I did not know this until I got older Me ate that on Christmas Eve Yeah, for a town We didn't celebrate any holidays Wait, wait, I want to touch you I didn't know that Sunday night was Chinese night But really, I didn't know I was like I don't know if you just heard this Anna didn't celebrate holidays And I think this is I didn't celebrate any holidays Why? The way I was raised, religion-wise But, I mean, it was a little You know, it's nothing That's a whole new other segment But related to eating It was right after church That was our going out To the restaurant You know, after church it was No, not at all Of the other families How can you be jealous of something You don't really know Exactly Now it's a little different I don't, it's another topic But how do you feel, though, about Like, you say you had to go to restaurants And sometimes by yourself You don't feel bad about But do other people make you feel bad about it? I had to think about myself now You know, I go have dinner And go celebrate with my friends On other things Oh, okay But it's still important I feel like people do look at me A little funny if I go I usually sit up at the bar So I don't feel too lonely So I don't go to the bar There's nothing funny They're hitting on you Yes I'm so oblivious to that You guys, seriously I'm oblivious to that But I do feel like people look at me Like, what's wrong with her Like, why is that girl I'm too bright Why are you alone? Oh, my God, I hear that And, you know, I really get down to myself about that It's okay to be alone I hear that Enjoy your meal Well, then I treat myself to dessert, too If I eat alone, I get the appetizer I get the entree This whole topic just made me feel lonely No, no, no You do that on dates I've got you, honey You do that on dates Yeah, you let nobody else pay Like somebody else pays Yeah, you never pay for dessert Never It's not worth the calories Well, I do think it is so important That, you know, we do make time For your family Getting to know each other Whether it's up for lunch or dinner Dinner time, family Stay with us We'll be right back Are you an everywhere woman When it comes to fitness It feels like that we're always starting over Is that a real thing Or is that something that we put in our minds Stay tuned and let's find out We are all trying to get fit But when it comes to fitness I always feel like I am starting over What can I do to avoid this person? Work out all the time And be consistent Okay, well, I'm not you So that isn't just the workout queen If you haven't realized from her arms Okay, this girl, what are you talking about? Show those guns Yeah, we need that I was listening to you two in the green room And you were talking about So what do you do in Madison? It's like, oh, I work out 30 minutes a day And stretch and stuff But it seems like it's a really good idea Work out 30 minutes a day It's an awesome idea It is an awesome idea But it's really tough to find That time to work out But for me, the tough... I do always feel like I'm starting over Especially if I have to go out of town Or if my husband out of town Because we are attached We go to the gym together We don't work out together But we're together But you're each other's motivation And you're... That kind of ability Exactly, and when he's not there Sometimes I don't eat for days And I don't work out Yes, and we both realize That he does the same thing I hope he doesn't go before you What? Recently, I had to go out of town Twice in the last couple of months And I got my backpack And I got my resistance bands And I didn't got my DVDs And it all stays packed Yes, and I don't work out You have to put it with your underwear Because you know you're going to go get underwear No matter what you do on your vacation No, then you see it every time you look at it And you're like, yeah, not going to happen And then you feel guilty That's it, and I feel really bad Because when I come back home It takes me more time to start over But you are starting over Every time that you don't work out And keep it consistent It's a mental and it's an emotional thing You have to keep doing it I feel guilty right now Just listening to the exercise And that you work out too And I'm a beer drinker Like, literally, I... No, I don't Maybe every other day But every other day That's why it's so hard for me to like When I focus and you know I have a gym membership Well, use it And use it I'll start tomorrow And then the beer Right, but you can drink the beer And still work out The carbs are good for you Carbs is a preferred source of energy Here's my problem So I will start the workout DVD I'll lay out my yoga mat Whatever I gotta do I start working out And I get on the floor And I see how dirty my floor is And then I can't work out Because I need to swiffer And then I clean for two hours You can turn that into a workout If you want to You can do abs Put it on your feet Push out, pull in Push out, pull in And then you've got sections out of the front Yeah, no Because then there's laundry do And dishes to be done And I just... I can't do it Well, I do think this is a real problem Especially for women If you're a woman like myself I have to have a plan If I go to the gym I have my... It's printed out If I don't have that print out And then if I don't have my... Not only as a thing though Okay What I hear is That your expectations And your goals To get your workout in Might not be attainable So you make your workout Outside of yourself Now I have two kids Single mom I work a full-time job And then some And so... You're making me feel pretty bad Because I know it's important And it's important for my kids too I want them to know That health is important to me It's important to the family It's important to everybody I try to make everybody work out Including my mom Who hates me She's like Why do I have to... But I got her stretching Every night for about 20 minutes And I find my workout Wherever I can find it If I'm at the park Because the kids want to be at the park I will play tag with them Until I am exhausted But Yolanda I remember you telling me You find your motivation When you wake up What is the first thing you see? I have a little... On my cell phone I have little messages That I send myself And I can't say I'm on television But it is Wait Get up out of your bed Right now Because I go work out Between 3.30 and 4.30 a.m. Because I'm a morning person And I don't like a lot of people In the gym But I have put up A lot of barriers And I say Oh, it's not 7 o'clock It's past 7 I can't go My whole day is ruined Going back to me Not being in control Not being organized And then It takes me 2 or 3 more days To get back on track And I'm restarting again And we'll do that We'll self-sabotage ourselves So that we won't have to work out Because we see it as work Do you not see it as work? Well, yeah Recently Recently with me It's just more like I've been just Enjoying myself Yeah, but you know You lost what? 160 pounds 165 pounds So you cannot just But I'm still fat But you don't have to work out You're curvy And it's not about Whether you're fat Or skinny or whatever It's about Are you healthy? And that's true Like in your case People think that You don't have concerns Yeah, people think that You don't need to work out And I'll say Yes, I do need to work out Because I want to be healthy I am skinny fat I am in the worst shape of my life Maybe if you look at me You wouldn't think so But I know so That I don't know so But I know I need to work out Because being skinny Does not necessarily mean That you're healthy And that's what we really Should focus on that Every time we're starting We need to focus on The health part of fitness Instead of the dress size And Yeah, it's not about size Or about weight It's truly about Just maintaining your health Commitment Commitment Don't self-sabotage We'll be right back With more Everyway Woman Are you an Everyway Woman?
