Speaker 1 (00:18):
Hello, everyone, it's your big sister Cheeky's and you've reached
my personal voicemailbox for the Dear Cheeky's podcast. I'm here
to give you a device on anything and everything you
need help with. Whether you're going through a breakup or
having issues with your family, or maybe you have a
question about my personal life. Whatever the case is, I
want to hear from you. Remember these are my thoughts

(00:39):
in my opinions, and if you're suffering from a serious
issue or hardship, you should seek help from a qualified professional.
All right, now, go ahead and leave your message.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
At the sound of the beeB, Hi Cheeky's, I hope
all as well. I will remain anonymous just because of
a type of question that I have. On one of
your previous episodes, you have somebody ask you about politics,
and I'm just like you, I just don't like to
talk about it or anything. However, my husband is a
board patrol agent, that's what he does for work, and

(01:11):
just with everything going on right now, it's been so hard.
The familia is like, you know, we can't speak politics
because everybody gets so passionate about it, and you know,
everybody has their opinions but when it comes down to
him trying to explain, hey, like you know, this is
what's going on at work, or trying to explain what

(01:32):
they make them do, or just you know, the work
politics side, they don't want to hear it. They don't care,
they don't want to listen to him, like they're just
they can't stand him sometimes, and just by looking at him,
they're like, oh, like we love you, but oh like
we can't. We hate the fact that you do this.
And it's like he's not Mexican, he's not you know,

(01:55):
he's Latino, but everybody always sees him and says that like, oh,
you're doing this to your own people, and it's.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Like, oh my god, it's just it's so hard. I
don't know what to do.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Sometimes his job is very like we keep it.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
On the down low.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
But how do you react to family that tells you
they love you, but there they won't even let you
express yourself on your side, I guess thank you.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Hello, thank you for your question. It is a touchy subject,
you know, like they say, you have to learn to
separate the artists from the art you know, and it
is hard though, it is difficult, and your husband, I mean,
he didn't know all of this was going to happen,

(02:38):
especially right now, the moments we're living, you know, when
he started as a border patrol. I think it's unfortunate
that your family won't even take the time to listen
to him because they don't like his line of work.
I think, just right now, it's hot and steamy, you
know the subject. So it's difficult, but I think eventually

(02:58):
you should have a conversation with them and say, hey,
it hurts my feelings. It's not cool, Like I understand
that you guys don't understand, and you guys don't accept
or support his job, his line of work, but that's
how he puts food on our table and a roof
of our head. And he's not the one that makes
the rules.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
You know.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
It's not like he can change careers now, you know,
and maybe he could, but I mean, how realistic is it?
So I think you should have a deep conversation with
your family members and just let them know how it
makes you feel. Their comments, them just disregarding his feelings
and his thoughts. It's just it's not it's not fun.
It's gonna push you guys away, And I think you
should definitely state that and say it's gonna push me

(03:40):
away if you guys continue to do this. I don't
think it's fair. And when you speak with love and
you speak from the heart, it usually reaches the heart.
So maybe they're just messing around a lot of the time.
And I don't know. I don't know how the conversations go,
but maybe you'll find something out in that conversation and
you guys can discuss it. So that is my suggestion.

(04:00):
It is a tough one, but hey, it's your reality
and you guys just have to kind of ride the wave.
I guess you know it'll get better, God willing. I
hope so, because it is tough something that's affecting us all.
But I mean, it's not all your husband's fault at
all anyways. But I hope that works and I hope
that helps very much. And thank you so much for
your question. Okay, guys, So the next question comes from

(04:26):
TC Hi Chicky.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
So I would like to ask how do you and
your spouse navigate pain for say, bills and like when
you go out. I tend to feel that I am
always pain for half or when we go out, and
at times it feels a little one sided when we

(04:51):
both make good money.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Okay, TC. So if you both make good money, I
don't understand why he wouldn't pay a little more, you know.
I don't think there's anything wrong with you guys splitting
the check here and there. Sometimes you could say, hey,
I got it today, or he can say, oh, I
got it today, or let's split it today. Or he
can be a gentleman and say hey, I'm gonna pump

(05:18):
and fill your gas tank, or I'm gonna take you
to dinner today. I am more of like the fifty
fifty type of chick. You know. I learned from past
relationships that if I don't state what is bothering me,
It's going to harbor in my heart and I'm going
to grow resentment towards a person. And I have had

(05:39):
a partner that took care of everything and was very
well off, and I didn't feel so good with that
because there were always strings attached. And then I was
in a relationship where I had to take care of
mainly everything, and then that didn't feel too good. And
now I'm in a relationship where, honestly, like he takes
care of his bills when we go out, he pays,

(06:01):
you know, for dinner, and if for whatever reason he's like, hey,
you know I can't today, I'm like, don't even trip.
I got you, you know, or we split the bill.
I think it's just having that conversation early on and
just letting him know. If it's starting to bother you, you
got to talk about it. You got to tell him, hey,
it does feel one sided, like don't get comfortable or
don't get used to me always paying. I don't mind splitting,

(06:22):
but it would feel nice if you took me out
to dinner and I didn't have to pay. I think
if you are honest and straight up and say it
with love, I'm telling you it's all about how we
deliver our message that makes the biggest difference. But if
it's bothering you, you got to bring it up sooner
rather than later, because you're going to start feeling unattracted
to him. It's going to affect your sex life. It's

(06:43):
just a whole thing. So yeah, girl, especially if you
guys are married, you got to like nip that in
the bud soon so that it doesn't cause more issues
down the line. So that is my advice to you.
I hope it works out, let us know, keep us updated. Okay, guys,
moving on to Sergio.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Hi, kikiS. I just wanted to say that I love
you and thank you so much for being an inspiration
for all of us Latinos. But I do have a
quick question. I want to know how is it that
you surpassed being in a very toxic relationship? If you
ruin one, what helped you get out? I'm currently in

(07:26):
a situation where my partner and I have been together
for two years, but three months into a relationship, he's
always lied, gone on dating apps, and hooked apps. To
this day, still tears out. My character tells me that
I'm ugly, that I'm fat, that I have no talent.
But I want to know how is it that you
did it? You know, you're very inspirational to me and

(07:48):
I'm pretty sure to everybody else. But how did you
do it? What helped you?

Speaker 5 (07:54):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (07:54):
My goodness, I love you too. Thank you for loving me.
I appreciate you. Okay, So I'm gonna be real with you. Okay,
if you've been with this person for two years, ser Joe,
and three months into the relationship he already showed his ass,
then you have to take responsibility for being in this
toxic relationship because he showed himself very early on and

(08:16):
you decided to stay with him this long. I know
it's not easy. I know, especially when we're afraid of
being alone, and I get it, but there has to
come a point in your life where you're like, I
need to love myself more. I need to value myself more.
I deserve to be loved. It is my God given

(08:39):
right to be happy, and it is my responsibility to
take care of my heart, my mind, and my soul.
And you're not doing that. Because if this guy is
telling you that you're fat and you're ugly and you're
staying with him, you're not loving yourself enough, and you
can't be completely upset with him because you've allued it.

(09:01):
So Sergil, in my opinion, if this was Johnny asking
me this question, my brother or my sister, I'd say,
I'm sorry, but you need to let go of this person.
It's going to hurt, You're going to cry, you're going
to be sad, you're not gonna want to get out
of bed. Sometimes you're gonna yell, but that is all
part of healing. But you have to let this person go.

(09:22):
If this person is not bringing out the best in you,
your partner should want to bring out the best version
of yourself and make you feel loved and appreciated and valued.
And if that person is not doing it, that is
not the person for you. I'm sorry. So my suggestion
is cut it off as soon as you can, because

(09:43):
him talking to you like that, he does not love
you the way you deserve. Sergiol, Please let me know
what you decide, Papa, Please love yourself, please please. I'm
gonna take a deep breath because things like this really
upset me. I've been there. I know what it feels like.
But you gotta just cut it. Cut the bleeding, stop
the bleeding, and endure that pain because it's going to

(10:05):
be painful, but that too, shall pass. You will be okay,
and you'll rise better. Trust me, I've been there, and
when I say that I've been there, I truly mean it.
I was with someone, and I won't get too into
detail because you know it's your cheekies. We'll have to
do a cheeks and chill episode of it. But I
was with someone for about four and a half years,

(10:26):
and towards the end of the relationship when he felt
like he was losing me because he was because he
was just not acting nice and doing a lot of
things behind my back. I'll never forget the time when
he told me, he's like, you know what, go and
run because you need to lose weight. And I was like, oh, yeah,
this is the person I don't want to be with,
and I'm going to lose weight and I'm going to

(10:48):
show you and show myself that I could do it.
So I have had someone talk down on me and
not make me feel beautiful and did the complete opposite.
But I gave him two middle fingers in the air
and I said, I'm going to show you. And that's
the same person that told me you're not going to
be able to make it without me. And I cried
and I yelled and I had to move out. It
was just so much and it was tough. But look

(11:10):
at me now, baby, So Sergio, you got this.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
If I could do it, you could do it too.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Please keep me updated.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I love you, and I'm sending you a big hug
of positivity and confidence and self worth and love. Lots
and lots of love. Okay, guys. Last question comes from
Yachty Hi Cheeky's.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
I'm a really big fan of you and your mom,
and my question is, like, what is your most craziest
memory with your mom, or like one that you just
remember a lot and makes you laugh, like if it
had to do with her defending you guys, or just
anything in general, I would really like to know.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Thank you, Oh yachty, I love this. Okay, So there
are two when I was listening to your question, there
are two moments, two times that come into mind.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
So one we were at the ninety nine cent store
because we used to love the ninety nine cent store
and it's so sad that they're closing them down. But anyways,
we love the nine nine cent store. My mom and
I would always go, especially right before like the movie theaters.
She would take us to the movie theaters, and instead
of buying popcorn and everything at the theaters, she would
take us in the ninety nine cent store because it
was cheaper. Mom was very good with money, by the way. Anyways,

(12:29):
so we were at the nine nine cent store and
she would kind of let us run around and just
choose what we wanted. And my sister Jackie, I don't know,
I think bumped into a lady in one of the aisles,
and the lady was very upset. She was not happy
about it, so she yelled at Jackie, my sister, and
my mom heard from the other aisle and she said,

(12:50):
excuse me, you are not to yell at my daughter.
Like they went off. They were like even fistfighting. My
mom got into it with a lady in the ninety
nine cent store and they kicked us out, so it
continued in the parking lot. But I'll never forget because
that was my mom was Eronaliona. She was a lioness

(13:11):
when it came to her children, to her cubs. So
that's something that came to mind, and we laughed about
it afterwards. It was I mean, obviously a little traumatic
because she got in a fight, but I mean she
was not having it that someone yelled at her child.
So that's one and then another one a beautiful memory.
Something that I'll never ever forget is my mom had

(13:32):
this thing that, oh my heart, I would take a
deep breath. Okay, sometimes at red lights a lot of
the times. I mean, obviously this is not safe, don't
try it, you guys, please, but at red lights, she
would make us get off the car and dance. She'd
be like, I dare you, I dare you. So she'd

(13:52):
put on music, it could be anything, and she would
make us get off on the red lights and dance,
so everyone would be watching and she'd be laughing her
ass off, and as soon as the light turned green,
we were like supposed to run back into the car
and like, you know, start moving. I guess I don't know.
It just it seems a lot funnier and cooler in
the moment. But those are like really cute moments that

(14:15):
I lived with her. Obviously, the fighting, you know, it
was just because you said, do you remember a time
when she defended you guys, So so that came to mind.
And then you know, the car thing. We always talk
about it with my siblings because it was usually her,
her sister, Rosie, me, and it was a lot of
fun and one of her friends. So yeah, don't do
it at home though, well not at home, but in

(14:36):
the car at red lights. It's not safe, guys. Times
were different then. Anyways, I love it. I love it
when we have a variety of questions. I love you, guys.
While I'm helping you, guys, you're helping me. Heal and
we're helping the world. So thank you guys for your questions.
And if you want to leave me a question, it
could be about anything guys, friendships, love, finance. His business
