Jesus H. 00:00:29 Yes ma'am. Yes, ma'am. That's good. All right. So you're the name of your business is Casa creations. And I was wondering where where'd you get the inspiration for that name?
Stephanie 00:00:40 Yeah. Glad you asked man, I love telling the story, what Casa creations, um, was started. It, Casa is the first initial of me and my three lifelong best friends, um, that I've had for over 20 years, over 23 years. You know what I mean? Um, so we've, we've had this friendship one day. We're just hanging out, you know, just chilling out, you know, drinking and having a girls' night. And it just came to me like, as I was trying to find, uh, my name, my journey of, of how was I going to put myself out there, you know? And I was like, wait a minute, all our initials together. Cause it's Christina is the C the a is um, Ariana, the S me and then the other A's on Alyssa. So I was like, dude, I suppose Gaza, like, we're the house of friendship. That's what we're about. We've been friends for so long, like, you know, boom. And it stuck. And I was like, and everybody liked it. The girls liked it. So that's what we would call ourselves as a group and our group texts and stuff like that was EA workouts, the creation girls, you know, um, because of our friendship, you know? Uh, so that's where, uh, Casa creations was formed, you know? Well, that's all about, you know, creating from your house. Everything happens like outside. That's how, you know, my, my background to that.
Jesus H. 00:01:54 Yeah, for sure, man. I think, I think there's definitely like in our roots, our culture is just like arts. Like I did a video last time and it was about, um, how many artists are on my, our Instagram page for Corpus Christi, like musicians and artists and people like you that create stuff with, with the resin. And it's just so awesome to, to
Stephanie 00:02:17 She is dude, I've never seen nothing like this, you know? Uh it's it's, it's refreshing. It's it's, it's awesome. And especially, just be welcomed, you know what I mean? Like that's, what's, you know, the welcoming as part of it is, is, is also
Jesus H. 00:02:31 Right. Yeah. So not to bring that up. Um, so you've been selling stuff, right. And then you, you mentioned that going to markets for you has helped you out, uh, yeah. Want to talk on that?
Stephanie 00:02:42 Um, yeah, you know, uh, I started, you know, I've always been an artist all my life, you know what I mean? Like, um, since like first grade and then throughout my journey of schooling, I always picked art as an elective. You know, any chance I got was art or art, um, in high school I was, you know, uh, an art I won and I used to enter contest and I used to, you know, I had, I got a lot of achievements, you know what I mean? Um, and, uh, what are we talking about?
Jesus H. 00:03:08 No. Yeah. You, so you, so you basically started from the beginning and I was going to bring that up too. So like you're good. You're good. It's all good. I like your backdrop. I liked it. I liked the school and all the flowers and all that stuff you got there. This is my house. I'm kind of embarrassed of it, but
Stephanie 00:03:26 I lit up my little officer, my attorney and I was at the last minute putting this, this is the old school. We keep it, those guys just tax on that cause
Jesus H. 00:03:35 Section and all, but that there, boom,
Stephanie 00:03:41 I just back there already, you know, so
Jesus H. 00:03:47 It's cool that you're like, you're, you're going out there and actually putting yourself out there. And you think that the thing I like about your content is like, you don't give a damn, you're just like, Hey man, this is me
Stephanie 00:03:59 At this point in age, you know, that's what I'm about. You know, my journey, my journey that I'm on, you know, um, as we discover and learn about ourselves to be should grow, there's always, I always tell my kids and stuff, like, no matter how old you are, there's never, you don't stop growing just cause you're like 30, 40, you don't stop growing. Like you still, you should still be growing. Like that's something that doesn't end. You know what I mean? So, Hey, can you do better? Yes. Can you achieve more? Yes. Can you try harder? Yes. It's all because you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, um, that's what I try to teach my kids. You know what I mean? Like it just becomes a family business, you know what I mean? Like that's what I'm all about is family and, and creating and, and my kids create all the time too. Like my girls and my son, like it's, you know, my husband, like, we all do that thing, you know?
Jesus H. 00:04:47 Yeah, for sure. For sure, man. I was listening to, cause I like how you put your videos of where you're at and who's there and all this stuff. And I saw one video and your daughter was like, oh, because you were like, oh, we're selling this or selling this. And then your daughter comes and she's like, yeah, we got this. And we got, I was like, man, that's freaking awesome. You know, your daughter is kind of following.
Stephanie 00:05:06 Yeah. They love to help and, and, and try to sell Michael too. And they hyped me up and, and, and it's pretty cool. You know, I bring them along as much as I can, if it's not like a school day or, you know, they're not with their grandmas and I bring them along, you know, I, I want to include them, even though I know it's going to be stressful because kids get on our nerves or nowadays, but Hey, that's what it's about. You know what, I, I want to include them, especially my daughters. So they can see that, Hey, mommy's out there. You know, she makes these things, she pushes herself and especially dealing because they know I have a lot of anxiety. Like I don't, that's why one of the things I'm overcoming, you know, by doing these markets and, and um, like I said, um, when I go back to, uh, always being an artist, you know, um, I didn't put my business out there.
Stephanie 00:05:52 So like on social media path, cause I used to create for my friends and family, you know, kinds of shit, you know what I mean? Like I'm always doing that as gifts, you know, over there meant, you know, if you don't, you don't always have money or, or not, it's not about money. Just giving somebody a gift from your heart, you know, creating it. I always see it as, that's not a cheap thing. Somebody doesn't create something and give it to you because they didn't have money to buy something for you. It's like a, they took their time to make you something it's, that's my way of thinking, you know? So, um, uh, I put myself out there on, on, on social media and platforms and um, I'm gonna say the end of 2019. And then you know, that whole, you know, um, year I would sit back and watch all these people on Instagram.
Stephanie 00:06:35 Like Facebook got to like, nah, it wasn't about Facebook though on the Aveda was getting to like caddy shady, just a bunch of people doing. Like, I wasn't about that. Right. So I started doing more Instagram and that's when I started seeing these people and doing these markets. And it was like people from our, you know, Corpus Christi doing, going downtown and just like, wow, it was cool. So I sat back and I watched that for like a whole year, you know, like always being the, uh, what I call the wishing girl like, oh, I wish I wish I wish I can do this. Or I wish, you know what I mean? And to one day I just jumped, I jumped, I jumped, you know, uh,
Jesus H. 00:07:17 There's something that, is there something specific that, that inspired that, that decision for the, it was just a bunch of things that happened at one?
Stephanie 00:07:25 No. Yeah, yeah. What it, it's kinda like, it's kinda like bittersweet. It's like, um, that's how I see it. It it's kinda three-step but I see it as blessings. Um, all this came about, uh, when my dad passed away in 2019, you know? Nah, it's cool. It's cool. He was a good man. Like what's awesome. Is that, that man, he gave me all the tools I needed to be able to live without him. You know what I mean? Like we were weirdos, we would talk about death. We would talk about when I died and he had this as well, you know, but you know, we would talk about all that crazy stuff. So, you know, as sad as it was, you know, um, I got from that, I got strength to, uh, change things in my life, you know, cause things weren't, uh, so great as far as like my troubles and um, you know, problems.
Stephanie 00:08:20 Nobody's perfect. You know what I mean? Nobody's perfect. So, uh, that was like an awakening call. Like, you know, my dad needed me. I had to be there for him, had, you know, boom that happened. And from there, that's where, um, my courage came. Right. You know, uh, was crazy. I still got fear, but I told myself, Hey, now you got somebody working for you up there. I'm very spiritual. You know what I mean? Like I'm very, very cultural and very spiritual. Like, um, it's not just, you know, the Arctic, oh, it's cute. You know, some people tend to use it in the wrong ways, you know, which is, it's cool. As long as you need disrespecting it, if you like it as decoration and just, I CA that's cool. You take it down into the year. You take it down, you move on. But up all year round, you know what I mean? Like my life, you know, so that's where, we're where I said, I gotta do it. You know, like my dad gave me his tools. He told me he prepared me and, and, and a, you know what I mean? I got it. I got to do it. So that that's awesome. Yeah. You know? Well,
Jesus H. 00:09:24 That's awesome. So it's been with you since you were a kid you were young in elementary age, and then I think I heard you, you wanted to do like art teaching or something like that.
Stephanie 00:09:34 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's perfect. I'm glad you mentioned that you go ahead and talk about it. That's so cool, dude. Like that's, you know, that's awesome that you, you, you know, you remember that you pick up on the little things that, yeah. I wanna, I, you know, I was, when I got my degree, you know, from Denmark, um, in studio art. So, you know, I got my associates, you know, in that. And I used to work in the medical field for a few years. I was like a front office, like coding and all that shit. You know, how to career in that. And I remember that. Yeah. And just, you know, I just said, you know what? I got the opportunity and the blessing to be like a stay at home mom. And I wanted to raise my kids. You know what I mean?
Stephanie 00:10:13 That was, that was my, you know, I didn't want my kids to be raised by anybody else. Like, so I was blessed enough to be like, Hey, my, my husband was like, what else? Stay home, watch the kids, you know, I work, you know, do it. So I was like, all right, all right. You know, I, you know, I'm very humble, you know, we're humble people. So, um, I was like right on, you know, so, you know, I dedicated my, you know, when I, when I, um, like I bought everywhere, you know, I dedicate like everything, you know, like, you know, when I'm coming out, like, I'm trying to figure out how I say, it's like, I'm coming out now. Cause I'm, I'm barely, like I said, discovering myself. Cause I dedicated my life to being a mom and a wife, you know, raising just, I put my interest and my little things.
Stephanie 00:10:55 And like I said, I wanted to be a teacher, not because I had to, but just because, you know, I come from, I'm very traditional and you know, I come from ancient people, like the, the, where the women stay at home, take care of their kids. The Mancos works and Hey, you share, you share your money. It's like, you know, you live in that household where we can do that, you know? Yeah. And then, so I was like, hell yeah. You know, that's what I wanted to do. So, um, I did it, you know what I mean? And now my kids are grown, dude. Like my last one she's in the school system now. So it's like, that was like, when that happened, I was just like, shit. Like, what am I gonna do? I ain't gonna lie. I was like, I don't know who I am.
Stephanie 00:11:36 You know, like my life would, I, I, you know, cause I was just eating, Ganda kicking, playing with the kids, making memories, just doing all kinds of giving them their life, their childhood and shit that I didn't have growing up. You know what I mean? And you know, and so I was like, shit. Like I got to this time Monday through Friday from this time to this time and I ain't trying to go back to work. Cause you know, I, I was like, man, it's been years since I've actually been in a cocky Hancock outpace, like, dude, like I battled with that, like is had something I can do. Like, you know, wow. Yeah. Is this something I want to do? Yeah. Like I said, courage and just, I jumped with my eyes open, you know what I mean?
Jesus H. 00:12:25 That's awesome. That's cool. How you lean, how you kind of lean toward what your roots were like creating stuff. That's pretty awesome. That's pretty awesome. And now even to get to a point where it's like, Hey, I want to sell this. You know what I mean?
Stephanie 00:12:39 Yeah. Yeah. And, and my family has always used to tell me, like you should sell. He's just said. And uh, I'm not about, like I said, I'm very humble. I'm my whole motto in life is spoken fermented, which that means, you know, to me like you humble, you do things humbling with a humble heart, you know? Um, that's how my dad raised me. And so, you know, I'm not about money. I mean, of course I don't want to go broke and be starved. You know, to me, it's not for the money. I do it because I want everybody to have my art. I want to share my art, you know, and, and I want, I want to make people happy with my art. Um, especially that like making a Memorial pieces, you know, memorializing your, your past, you know, your loved ones, putting him in pendants, making him and trinket dishes. You know, I started messing with resin as a medium, like I'm going into like two years, two and a half years and messing with that. So, um, I've been, uh, I'm able to do a lot more and it's, it's been fun, you know, creating things with that. It's like, fool's opened up.
Jesus H. 00:13:38 Nah, I was watching, I was watching your videos because I've kind of stopped you before we came on. And so just throw that out there. So like I was watching your resin videos. I was like, oh shit, I didn't know about this. And you was talking about how some of them are like, there's different brands and you came upon one that you like you like, because it's so clear that there's just a lot to it and thought it was pretty crazy,
Stephanie 00:13:59 You know? It is, it is. And then, and I D I did my research and I mess with it and do you know what I mean? And I like it. I like it, you know?
Jesus H. 00:14:08 Yeah. That's cool. So, um, what, what, which of your, the, your creations sell the most, would you say sell the most? Like whenever you go to markets and stuff like that?
Stephanie 00:14:20 Um, I, little bit of everything, to be honest, I can't pinpoint, um, anything in particular cause I make all kinds of I'm everywhere, man. I make, I don't stick to one thing. I make all kinds. I mean, I make all kinds of stuff. I had to move up to like three tables when I do my markets, I have a boom boom, all around me. Um, so I make all kinds of stuff, a little bit of everything, sales, you know, what I make from eyelash kit cases to hold people's fake eyelashes and their, um, I make, uh, uh, trinket dishes, you know, uh, trays, um, all kinds of shit. You know what I mean? And then in a little bit of everything sales, you know, like right now I am, I just finished. I just got, um, punched out some molds of a business card holders. So I'm doing that, you know,
Jesus H. 00:15:12 I liked those. I saw those. I was like, oh, that's pretty cool. It's like a square. And he was like a rectangle. You place your car, you can even play some other stuff.
Stephanie 00:15:21 Yeah, yeah. You can use it, you know, for whatever, Hey, whatever fits right there, you know? So,
Jesus H. 00:15:25 So those molds, do you make the molds you make?
Stephanie 00:15:28 And I buy them from makers. Yeah. Yeah. I support makers, you know, from, uh, Etsy and Instagram and stuff. And, and I try to, and of course the Amazon as well. Um, yeah. And I just buy them and just try to do, and if somebody gives me a custom, you know, I'll, I'll search them. I don't have the mold, I'll look to buy it and stuff. So, um, I want to get into making my own molds, you know, buying the silicone and do that's my next, uh, step of something I want to want to try, you know, to do, because I have a lot of little things that are like vintage stuff that I never seen, that I would like to make a mold of, you know?
Jesus H. 00:16:01 Nice man. That's awesome. That's awesome. All right. So, oh, I saw that you scandal rattlesnake. Holy crap.

And I was like, damn, I'll say save it. I'll be right there to get into like right there. And boom, my window, like a west over there. I went over there like a loca

Stephanie 00:17:04 It's not is art. You know, I saw that, that diamond back, you know, the scales and I just thought, Hey, that's I that's art that's
Jesus H. 00:17:11 And you put a pat Tara song on. I was like, hell yeah. Southern trend kill or something like that. Like banter. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Uh, it has been an artist. Uh, so do you remember your first piece of art?
Stephanie 00:17:29 Uh, as a child, I'd like my first art that I, yeah. Cause you know, that's where I fell in love with art, you know, like I was in the first grade, I only went to three schools on my life. You know what I mean? Um, I, like I mentioned to you before I, I grew up in the gut or gut as a Corpus, you know, I went to Georgia Evans when seal and you know, Ray, Ray's a little bit fancy there, but don't know the neighbors I grew up on the streets, you know, commodities three 25th street. I was on some heavy streets, you know, some pretty heavy, crazy activity goes on there, you know? And then, um, so I went to George Evans and uh, an art program was introduced to the school. You know, they got money fundings or whatever. And I was in the first grade and I remember I made this little Betty Petito was like a, a black dog.
Stephanie 00:18:15 It was my dog at the time. And you know, I make this little statuette. And then on the paper I made like a, um, like a pawn, like it was drinking from a pond. And you know, I, I cut out the different colors of construction paper layer there for like what the colors would be and shed. And I think, I think I could, they entered into the little children's, um, are things that goes on, like at the museum or museums downtown or something. And like, I want something. And I remember now, cause I told him, I was like, man, and then my mom used it as a goddamn doorstopper doorstopper
Jesus H. 00:18:54 So do you feel, do you feel like you've, are you proud of yourself now? You know what I mean? From where you like
Stephanie 00:19:03 Sure, man, for sure. Like, like I said, I, you know, I like to call this, what I'm on now is as, uh, I'm on a journey to heal my broken child self, you know what I mean? Um, I suffered from childhood trauma and um, I never recovered from that. You know what I mean? And never got a chance to heal from that. Um, and then you get into being a teenager and then a bunch of, you know what I mean, the hormones you hate shit happens. And then, you know, unfortunately the hoods that I'm in, I got into drugs, I got into smoking weed, eating in the mean I was very young age and uh, uh, it went from there in high school, you know what I mean? And then you get into more shit and you know, and then it goes from there, you know what I mean? And then I had like, um, well I guess now that I'm sober, I like to say that I'm proud that I am sober. I am going on three years being sober from prescription medications. You know, unfortunately I did abuse prescription medication, especially Xanax, any downer I can gain, you know, I was a pill popper. There's no way around it. Okay.
Stephanie 00:20:09 It used to embarrass me, it used to embarrass me and mean it. And now I'm just like, nah, that shouldn't now that I'm sober. And I'm like, no, cause that was a big part of my life for many years, double and double digit number years that I thought I needed. And then they were prescribed to me, you know what, at first they weren't, but then eventually they did, but then it got worse,
Jesus H. 00:20:35 Like from one addiction to the next.
Stephanie 00:20:36 Yeah. Yeah. You know, especially when you get them prescribed to you, you don't think you're doing nothing wrong because Hey, it's your prescription. It says your name. You're not
Jesus H. 00:20:44 It's
Stephanie 00:20:52 I need get to go to sleep. It was a big chunk of my life. And then especially when I had like traumas and tragedies, I use that as a crutch to do self-medicating more and more. And like I said, um, from a bittersweet back to, you know, bittersweet, one of the things, but a sweet this, because when I fixed my life and I finally got everything together and being as far as being sober was when my dad passed away. That's how that happened. You know? Um, because of that year, 2019, I was still an active at it, popping pills, Xanax. And I thought it was, you know, it, it gave me false confidence. It gave it, and it was scary, you know? Cause I used to get depressants from a doctor. I used to see a doctor. Uh, I gotta, I need somebody to help me with my mental illness.
Stephanie 00:21:41 But in reality I didn't have mental illness. You know, I gave myself the mental illnesses from my addiction and never getting from my trauma. You know what I mean? Cause that shit, you know what I mean? Cause now that I'm sober, I'm a completely fucking different person Negan back to who I was, you know what I mean? The lights back. And like I said, it, my father passed away. You know, he didn't have a wife. That was my best friend. My dad he's my best friend. I was like, wow, what we did, we're Familia, you know, he, he, we did everything like, you know, later in life he became my best friend for my dad. It was awesome that he became my best friend because it's and talk, you know, it was cool, you know? So, um, he needed me, you know, I, I needed to take care of him.
Stephanie 00:22:29 That was my heavy throw. He was like, and all that shit happened out of left field. Yeah. Just the look in his eye from one doctor's appointment. And he was just like UNC out on out. And he's all, you better be strong, you know? Like, do I really have to be hard? You know, it was hard. But as the, the man that he was, I knew he needed that in me. Wow. I knew he needed that. The fear that I saw in his eyes, you know what I mean? The of that he was dying, you know what I mean? And then from one moment to the next we're in the hospital and then there's nothing they can do. So I couldn't, I couldn't be up in the hostile or why are you from being off Xanax style? You know what I mean? I couldn't, I knew, I know right from wrong, you know what I mean?
Stephanie 00:23:19 So, uh, that's what, you know, I got morals, you know what I mean? So, um, that's what comes first, you know what I mean? And, and my dad needs me, you know what I mean? So cold Turkey, boom, cold Turkey from being a very, very, very heavy pill popper, you know, to cold Turkey, boom, I'm in the hospital paperwork, dealing with people signing shit, but that's dying. You know, it's a lot of, it's a lot of fucking, it's a lot of paperwork and it's like the process that I'm not ready for. All of them, it's pretty crazy, but it was wide awakening, you know? And, and you know, I never like growing, you know, uh, growing up, I didn't fear death. It was like, ah, we, we used to do crazy shit just reckless. You know what I mean, reckless, but I never thought I was like, oh, I'm going to die by getting hit by a bus or I'm going to get fucking ran over or, you know, something crazy to think like that, you know, but you know, me, at least to me, I never thought that you can go out.
Stephanie 00:24:23 Like when my dad didn't boom, nobody expected it. And the only us, ah, shit. So that kinda made me like fear. Like I got also stylized shit, you know what I was just like, oh shit. Like, and so it tripped me out. Like, I'm gonna have a heart attack. I gotta take him heart. I gotta take it. So I started worrying about like my health, you know what I mean? Like taking care of my health and that problem. So it was crazy, you know? And I'm proud of myself. I want to say that I'm proud of myself because something that, that, that was a moment in my life that an addict would normally use as a crutch. That people cause when I wasn't at it, you, you, when you're not, if you find any little thing to be, to use as a crutch to go use, oh, they don't like me and my go use her role.
Stephanie 00:25:10 You know what I mean? You find stretches, you know what I mean? And I, that should have been a crutch. Cause I used to, when I got, you know, I lost my brother, you know, my dad's my second, the second male figure in my life that I lost. It was dear to me, you know? And I used my brother's death as a crutch to spiral down, you know what I mean? So it's like, I didn't do that. And that gave me the, the that's what also gave him the testimony to be like a firm believer that a you'll see though, I'm not going to question you no more, man. I used to always question and you know, be upset or whatever. And the things that happen, the magic that happened in my dad's passing for one, he passed on Ash Wednesday. That's my dad's holiday.
Stephanie 00:25:55 Like he he's, he was a, a hardcore boom. It lint every for years, you know, it was Ash Wednesday, Lynn . He would give up smoking cigarettes, drinking or something, you know, that he did, he would give up gambling his NADOs and he was very religious. So when he passed, I was just like, what the fuck? The numbers of, of, of like the numerical numbers of his last breath I was thinking of my dad passed in my arms. Like, you know, there, I mean, I saw that. And then like the church bells, when the corner people take his church, it was just like, it was just all these signs. And then how I got the strength to battle my addiction. Like when people have addiction that, that addiction demon, if it gets a grip on you on shit, eh, I mean, it's hard. I've, I've seen a lot of people, friends that, that are still in active addiction and that they don't look like they're gonna get out of it. You know what I mean? Um, it looks like that's their life, you know? And then a, I don't judge, but I ain't trying to be around that, you know, recovering addict, you know, like, nah, you know what I mean? I just think that
Jesus H. 00:27:07 It's like, it's, like you said, you have like, you have morals, like, you know, right from wrong. Yeah. Man, mad props to be able to, to, to not use that as a crutch to continue.
Stephanie 00:27:18 Yeah. It gave me strength. It did the complete opposite, which is, it just blows my mind. Like when I, when I think about it and I sit back and I think I was like, yeah, that's that's bad ass. So I give myself credit. Like, it must have a lot of credit now. And it's like, when I never used to, you know? So, um, that's what gave me all this courage and strength to come out to mark his dude and dice started talking to the hint, they out there and here I am, you know, I ain't everybody's cup of tea because one I'm a loud, very loud person. My grandma told me like a Tony and I used to hear you. I can hear you from like,
Stephanie 00:28:02 Hey, I just keep it real. You know? And I keep it real. I'm very loyal. That's what kept like my, my girlfriends, my three lifelong friends. That's what's kept us friends that long, especially being girls, you know how girls can be chatting and shady and yeah, but we just keep it real, you know, we, we tell each other and the nitty gritty was like, it or not be mad at me. You want to be mad for two months, be mad for two months, girl, but you're going to come. We're gonna, you're gonna come back, you know, like,
Jesus H. 00:28:30 Right, right. Yeah. That's cool. That's frustrating, man.
Stephanie 00:28:33 Hell yeah. And that's because we were all pregnant the same year, which is also crazy. We didn't even plan it. Like we didn't plan it. It was me first. And then my, my second friend, you know, she had the three months apart, our kids are three months apart.
Jesus H. 00:28:46 Yeah. That's so awesome. Yeah. That's awesome. That's awesome. And now you're doing now, you're doing shows and markets.
Stephanie 00:28:55 Yeah. Yeah,
Jesus H. 00:28:56 Man. That's, that's a, that's a story. It's the last time. Yeah. That's awesome. So you're the markets. Um, you got, you have any coming up or?
Stephanie 00:29:05 Yes, in March. I I'm trying to put myself out there a lot. You know what I mean? And I got five so far in March, right? Friday, uh, March of March would be Saturday, you know, to the women's history month out there at the water's edge. Pardon? Oh yeah. Then I got, um, two more at a small business shop and then I got the bully guy with fresco and then the people's markets. Uh I'm I'm getting out there as much as I can.
Jesus H. 00:29:34 Oh man. That's what's up? Yeah.
Stephanie 00:29:37 You, my first, um, one of my first gigs was at the people, uh, the people's market, but then the second gig was, um, art walk and I did that one. Like I had nobody to help me, man. I didn't have my, everybody, the kids were at school. Cause our work had to be there a certain time. You don't get home. And I couldn't, you know, my husband was getting home at that time. It was cutting it close. So they couldn't, it's hard to take up to five in the car with no problems. It's, something's always criticized by myself. And it was hard having a tent, three tables, big totes and looking at it. But I wasn't Ching us doing it all myself, you know? And I was telling him, I was like, man, that's messed up, dude. Cause when I went down there, I was a little upset because I was setting up my tent dude and attend those tents, take at least two people. I mean, one person can do it. You're going to look a little squirrely going on each side.
Stephanie 00:30:32 They don't happen. Nobody helped me, dude. No, we just stood around. And there was people cause there was like the bars and there was like picnic tables and there was some bottles there drinking and shit. And I was just like, man, I said to my husband, not even wanting to try to flirt with me or nothing, nobody came and helped me do that was just like, I mean, no sweet fan. I'm not ugly, but just, you know, making it, I might've looked, you know, nobody helped me. I N a, which I don't care. Hey, I did the damn thing myself, but I ran it. I got it done. And it was crazy. But um, the point of that was, it was a very successful night and it was a high traffic. It was a good month and it was a high traffic. So it was like crazy and it was successful and it's awesome because when I left make it up in silo, like, damn, I just happened.
Stephanie 00:31:20 Like that's, you know, that was like right there, that opened up, like, I'm doing this, like, you know, let me know, like I'm doing something good. Like this is how you, how you know, gave me that confidence and that hell. Yeah. And I thought, dude, that's what my dad started to, you know, like to my dad, you know, he started in those parts, you know? Cause I was down in people's street and he used to as a he used to be down there shining shoes and shit. You know, I think like he started like at five or six, he was down there trying to earn money for his, all his siblings and stuff. Cause his mom he's from a family of 10. So on my dad's side, I got a big family. There's 10 of them was six sisters. You know, it was like, it was a lot of them.
Stephanie 00:32:00 So it was like, you know, he was down there doing, I was like, I was down there making money in the same street, paper, texture, payment, but on the same geographical areas that my dad was out here as a hustling it and making money, you know, it felt good. You know what I mean? Culturally it's like, it's, it's all lined up. And it was, it was Dawson Madison because he made a decision to just do it. And then for like the people, like the hand there, that's what, you know, especially like you and I wanted to give you a shout out to put for you, giving us this platform to, to, you know, like I told you in a message, when you reached out to you, I was just like, wow, I can be like, I guess I stressed about it. And I, and I, and like, I, I, one of the things that I'm, I'm in this day of age where I like to three PS, I plan, practice and prepare, you know, Pam prepare, practice, whatever ever order three PS. I try to do that. Cause I used to do things like, wow, I just can't do that, man. I got you looking crazy. So you, you, you can't do that. You gotta, you gotta practice. You gotta make a plan and you, you know, you gotta be a little organized. Yeah. Yeah. I try to do that. And I was practicing, I even wrote notes and Chile almost. I'm gonna look at this crystal. Hopefully it's going to kill me back. None of this
Stephanie 00:33:26 Life, man.
Jesus H. 00:33:29 Yeah. Yeah. I appreciate that. Appreciate the shout out. I appreciate the shout out. That's what I want to do. I mean,
Stephanie 00:33:36 You're doing a lot of good shit too, man. I see the stuff you're doing and pretend the new ventures you're going on and what you're trying to do as well. And that's, what's up. We procured it community that we're in is it's awesome. It's awesome. Yeah.
Jesus H. 00:33:50 Yeah. For sure. For sure, man. I plan to meet some more people. I mean, I I'm real, I'm real kind of just in my zone, like at work, I come home. I really don't talk to a lot of people. It's hard for me to schedule them for market days. Cause my, cause I'm a truck driver and my schedule, my schedule is all whacked is I work at six, so I don't get the same two days off. So it's just like, I really don't talk to that. The reason why I bring that up is because I want to talk to some more people in the community. And not only for my sake, but for people that are listening, you know what I mean? Like there's people, there's somebody like you or me, you know, or anybody else who's just listening. They're like, Hey man, that's kind of like me, you know?
Stephanie 00:34:26 Yes, don't be not. That's my thing. Don't be embarrassed. No one, if your battery is being bashed, but Hey, fuck it. You know, just get out there. Like what you, what's embarrassing is you, you know, like, you know, I used to be ambassador of my problems that I had my addiction. I used to, I used to be me embarrassment, but it's like, it shouldn't no more. That should make me fucking proud that what's it. What should be embarrassing if I still had the problem, wasn't doing nothing about it. And just, you know, that's embarrassing. But a, when you, when you accomplished something, don't be embarrassed. You know, don't be embarrassed, you know, get out there, you know, face it. Nobody's perfect. You know, nobody's perfect in life.
Jesus H. 00:35:02 You were saying, you were saying, and uh, I think on your feet, I don't know one of your, one of your videos, you had like a long video and I was listening to it and you were saying, you got to make mistakes. You have to. I mean, how else are you going to get is basically how is she going to get better if you don't make mistakes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's like the, like that's the school making mistakes, right?
Stephanie 00:35:22 You have to, you, you, you, you, you gotta want to make a mistake. You know what I mean? You gotta want to, because that's how you're going to learn. You know, that's how I try to see it now is like, you know what? I try to teach the kids. My kids, you know, you say you don't get upset. It didn't work out eight it's okay. Hey.
Jesus H. 00:35:43 Yeah. And it's like, I don't know if it's our culture, but it's like, oh, what? You're going to look like, you're going to look dumb doing it. You know what I mean? And I think that's the it's fear of not wanting to do it because somebody is going to be like, Hey, nah, that's dumb. You know what I mean? But it takes a lot of courage for us to be like, you know, screw it. This is what I'm doing. Exactly. And then we, and when we, when we do that, if it, everybody is affected, you know, whether it's good or bad, everybody is affected and like, oh, he's doing it. How come I can't do it? You know what I mean?
Stephanie 00:36:15 That's how it came from me. Seeing markets was like, Hey, she's doing it. Why can't oh, is that pretty girls do? Or that maker. Okay. Oh wow. And I started to see, well, I don't think I'm no different from, I don't know their personal lives, but from what I put out there, I felt like, wow, I don't think I'm that different from her. So that's what, that's what helps, you know what I mean? And seeing, oh, they can do it. You know? Hey, I can do
Jesus H. 00:36:40 Exactly. It's community. It's community, Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi, originals. That's why I did the podcast. I was like, man, we gotta really, we gotta bring some people on here. Uh, people like you like me, like, I didn't know. I didn't know. I had an accent until I lived in Colorado for like two, not a Colorado, uh, Oklahoma for like two years. Oh wow. And they're like, oh, you got an accent. What I do? And then they're like, yeah, you have an accent. They're like, which part of Mexico are you from? I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm not.
Stephanie 00:37:09 No, no. Did I say that made you think that?
Jesus H. 00:37:17 Yeah, but it like, we can relate. It's awesome. So you're uh, so what are some of the challenges of being a stay at home? Mom? You got,
Stephanie 00:37:28 It was just, you know, everything everything's unexpected, you know what I mean? Like you, you gotta be to me, you know, but now that my kids are older, I said, it's given me a chance. Like I said, they're in the school system now I have to go to school. You know, school system. I, you know, I did my job, you know, I still got a job to do, you know, cause if they need me, they call me whatever. I gotta be available to go get them. You know, I don't got nobody else to do that. So I got, um, you know, but now that I got more time, you know, it's like, heck yeah, I take advantage of that shit. You know what I mean? So Monday through Friday from, you know, seven to three. Yeah. No struggles, challenges.
Stephanie 00:38:15 Oh shit. Getting there because I'm too busy making a Tik TOK and trying to post something and I'm tired and I'm recording to get the right video and I ain't gonna lie. Those videos are hard. And then I put up, I ain't gonna lie to you. Like sometimes I do it like 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 times. And I'm like, damn it. I messed up. Like, I wonder what people think. If they're coming up to my house hearing, be like, mom, we're not talking. Oh, well something must be and put it on. You know? Uh, you know, but it's all fun. You know what I mean? Until you burn dinner, you burn a pizza pizza, one out of the two pizzas. And now you love eating a fucking hard piece of cardboard.
Jesus H. 00:39:07 That's awesome. That's awesome. Kids are awesome, man. Oh man. I saw this story of your daughter using the red shampoo.
Stephanie 00:39:15 Oh man. My kids are wild and my fathers that was funny. Oh gosh, there's something else. the one that her name is AKA. We call her Chucky and she's proud of it. We got to Chucky. Cause she's she is the one that yes. But it's funny, even though she's the wild child one, the straight a student I'm like, damn, you're straight. A's she's she's been straight. A's in her other two. Yeah.
Jesus H. 00:39:40 Yeah. That's so that's what I was going to ask you. So what are some of the things that your, your kids like Excel at? Like do they like certain, do they like creating? Do they like math?
Stephanie 00:39:49 Oh yeah. They love creating man. They love drawing, painting. They love getting my stuff. You know, he used to drive me crazy in it and I used to, you know, cause I didn't, I didn't want to tell them no, but I didn't want them getting in my good shit. Like my stuff's was like, it was hard to depart with some and stuff, but I, you know, I was like, well you better do it really good. Cause that's a professional 12 by 12, 10 minutes. But that's my quality acrylics. But I would really lecture them about the responsibility of using that property. They don't listen. They're going to get wild and crazy when she started buying them, their stuff, you know, the TP or stuff for them that they give, they wasted. They wasted, you know, they love creating man. They love my daughters. They're always cutting up papers and you know, making little hand puppet and they're always making shit, always making sure what tape they're always using the tape.
Stephanie 00:40:50 They're always using my paper, my car stock paper that are always, or even just cardboards, you know, they, anything that can get their hands on. They're making some out of it because they see mom and then the small ones, he's the older one and she wants to keep up with the older one and then the older one sees mom. And so it's cool. You know, it's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Because my son, he does stuff too. You know, I said he, he does modeling. He puts together like model figures and stuff. Um, and then he's in high school, you know, I got a 10 year old and he's in ninth grade, which is like, oh wow. Um, but he's into, uh, um, 3d modeling. He has some elective that he's doing something like that. And like he shows me on the computer. I don't, I don't know too much about that stuff because the car has numbers and all kinds of that. Yeah. No, my God, that's too much stuff. I'll take it away. No, but that's good to be home. Hey, I'm proud that he could do that. You know? Um, so it's cool. You know, heck yeah, my husband too, he, he, he he's a gardener. He was always planting. We got a garden back
Jesus H. 00:41:52 Garden. Do you still have it?
Stephanie 00:41:54 Yeah. Yeah. We got it back there. It's big, you know, he grows out kind of right now. We're we're um, we got a lot of plans for Casa creations, you know? Um,
Jesus H. 00:42:02 I was going to ask you that. So where do you see Casa creations
Stephanie 00:42:05 Going? Yeah. And then we're going to, I want to venture bigger and, and, and you know, um, we got blessed with, uh, like a little trailer, a trailer, like a food truck trailer. Like when you kind of pull, it needs renovations, you know, we've been kind of like put up putting back on renovate because in fashion dude, everything's expensive, man. Just to buy the material like, oh, we got the money, you know? Cause like I remember you were talking about it and some of the stuff I listened to you, um, was about, you tried to do cash cash. That's one of our tactics too, is as we save that cash, you know what I mean? Boom. If it hits him, you know, we put it aside, if we can pull it out and we just saved pay with cash, you know what I mean? That's the way to go.
Stephanie 00:42:46 Um, so, you know, we didn't want to get caught up in the, everything within fate. You know what I mean? It's a bunch of crazy stuff. So it's like, you know, uh, we were holding off on buying materials, but now I guess, fuck it. You know, I think it's gotten a little, little bit, I think, I don't know my husband is on, in charge of all of that, but we're going to start renovating that and now we're going to do like a mobile food truck slash yeah. Slash pull up, pop, you know, put a little table with sell his plants. Cause he does a lot of like, uh, plants from like, um, he like, uh, like graphs it and um, you know, he cuts it off and he does this whole little rooting system, the whole shebang. So we got like apple trees in the works, apple, those are take, those are like to get it to be a tree, to be able to take clippings from it, to have other little trees.
Stephanie 00:43:34 It's, it's a big process. It's been a long process, but it's, it's awesome to see, you know yeah, for sure that trees, you know, all kinds of stuff, he got all kinds of stuff, you know, tropical stuff and you know, we want to have a lot so he can, we can sell it in. Cause I like to do, uh, I paint my setbacks pottery, like, you know, the, the terracotta pots, I like to paint them. I do a thing like in mother's day called my set, my, you know, so you can I paint the pot real pretty, like I put a Frida or flowery, not paint something on it, cultural, uh, and you know, um, so we can put our actual plants in there. You know what I mean? Like it's a family business, you know what I mean? The whole making some munchie, you know, good. Just much he food, this monkey chatter, he asks, you know, just fill up like that with some stuff like that, man.
Jesus H. 00:44:21 I want to try the Mexi dog and I want to try the, what is the
Stephanie 00:44:27 Natural.
Jesus H. 00:44:30 They both look good. I'm check out the checkout or Tik TOK. She's got two videos, one on building a Mexi dog. And then one on the Carnegie salad, nachos
Stephanie 00:44:40 I've been messing and playing with stuff like that. Cause that's what I'm practicing to, you know, for ideas for that, you know, especially with the side of town I live in, we live like in between callout and a lot of bell with the shit out here to eat. They ain't, they ain't nothing out here. You got one McDonald's one water burger Sonic. I ain't went on Sonic and all that shit. That's nothing new. You know what I mean? If we keep on thinking, especially like the little road, the area we live on, it just, there's not much for people that, you know, the don't have to go somewhere far that something to walking distance, you know what I mean? And then, so we're, we're working on something like that. You know,
Jesus H. 00:45:13 You see the meat, you see the need and whenever there's a need and you create something for that, that's where, yeah. That's awesome. That's good. That's good that I was thinking about that too. I was like, man, cause my daughter she's six and I'm thinking about her feeling like hers, when she's going to start working, you know, I was like, Hey, let's just get a trailer, you know, sell some that way. She can get some experience and you know, making money, you know? Um, so that's, that's definitely a good
Stephanie 00:45:37 And our kids that's, that's, you know, our children that's our future. And it's a, how I said I started future, you know what I mean? Especially the ones we can we're in control of like, Hey, if the world's crazy, at least they're going to have three needles that are going to grow up to be adults that are going to try to battle it out there. You know what I mean? You know, especially with the way things are going and the world is crazy out there. And if you, if, you know, if I, you know, especially me, like if I can give my children with a childhood and let them have their innocence for as long as I can, I'm going to do that. You know what I mean? Like I'm going to do that. You know, I think about my son, he's 15, he's a good kid. He just stays gamer, you know, gamer in his cave. That's his, the gamer 15, what the hell were we doing out there? Look up 15, going to concerts parties, you know, school, you know, going a kegger party, you doing all kinds of crazy. You know what
Jesus H. 00:46:29 I mean?
Stephanie 00:46:31 It was like, whoa. So he's took us what I would like to say. He still got to his innocence and his childhood, you know what I mean? And it's pretty awesome to see. I was talking to my friend about that. Cause she, uh, she has a 10 year old little boy. I like to give her props. Cause you know, uh, she's a single mom, you know, she has three Ninos and I give her props, you know, when she feels down on herself and, and you know, like she's not doing right on, Hey, Hey girl, I'll give her a reminder. Your son for being 10, he likes to role play and dress into cosplay. And dude like, that's beautiful, man. Like the 10 year old little boy to have that, that imagination to still want to do those things and be role playing and pretending he's a Spider-Man or pretending he's Woody or something from the tour student. I mean, that's awesome, dude, for being tan, like that's pretty cool. You don't see that up there. This generational era of, of what you all's out there.
Jesus H. 00:47:23 Yeah. Like the way I see it is like, my kids are not responsible for my feelings. They're not, they're not responsible for, for me. And I ha and whenever like my, if my wife and I get in an argument, I gotta mention to my daughter, Hey, it's not because of you, you know, we're, you know, it's between me and mommy, you know? So, and, and I think that's yes,
Stephanie 00:47:44 As nobody's perfect, you know what I mean? Nobody's perfect. And like I, and I tell my kids too, that's, that's cool that you say that because the different, the parenting that I want, the, the generational curse, but I like to call it that, do people keep, I broke that shit? You know, I would, I didn't want that for my kids. You know, I didn't, I didn't, I knew I w I wasn't, you know, I didn't, I didn't, I wasn't raised in a household with a mom and dad and none of that, you know what I mean? Like, I didn't have a family household, like, you know, what I'm able to provide for my kids. So, you know, it's, it's cool that we can give them that. And so I tell them when I get, I fostered that cause I ain't perfect. I yell. And yet I'm on my Mexican lawn.
Stephanie 00:48:24 You see in the mom, that's, that's probably that's me. That's me. So, uh, you know, I'm aware I'm like got a potty mouth. I say a lot about words and I cuss it's okay. My kids know, you know, if I, if I felt like I fostered after the whole shit, then I, what I like to do is I go back at night. I apologize to them. If I felt like over, I popped off could too crazy. Cause I was in a bad mood. Like I said, my mood, I realized that my mood reflected how I was going to talk to them or respond to them. But if I'm in an asking for something or, you know, I'm like, why, you know what? I was like, go and I try to tell them, Hey, I'm sorry. You know, just, you know, it was a lot of things going on. I reassure them that, that it was nothing. They did, you know, mommy, I apologize. And then I also let them know that, Hey, you should go run out, appreciate that. I'm apologizing. Don't apologize. I let them know the importance of what I'm also doing. Wow. That's often not a lot of parents apologize to their Ninos. I tell them, you know a lot of times, like I'm the parent. I don't give a shit. Get over it. Motherfucker. Can I can, because
Stephanie 00:49:40 It's like PG 13.
Jesus H. 00:49:42 You're good. You're good. I just don't cut. Like if you're a guest and you want to cut, that's fine. Oh yeah. Sorry.
Stephanie 00:49:50 I remember. Cause I know sometimes in the environments, in the, I, I know the pull, some of that back. If I'm not in a place where I can be doing that, people can look at me. All I got for, you know, I know. So, you know, I just let them know the kid. You should be lucky that at least I'm, I'm respecting your feelings, which I never had it growing up. Nobody ever perspective. My, and I respect your feelings and I don't want you to feeling upset with mommy. I don't want you being mad or I want, you know what I mean? And, and I talked to them, you know, I think that's the key to your, to your kids is you ain't gotta be perfect. You ain't gotta be all. How are you gonna talk? No, no, no, just, Hey, keep it real and just talk to them, communicate with them and then let them know, you know, that it wasn't them, especially if it wasn't them, but just shouldn't be them. If, you know, if they're not doing anything crazy on purpose, like coming in and hitting you to be little assholes, you know, there's no reason why it's on your mood. Like how you're, you know what I mean? Like how you said it's all your mood. So yeah. I tried to teach them.
Jesus H. 00:50:52 That's good. I was just near to a George Jordan Peterson. And he was saying that whenever like a man or a male is like anxious or whatever, they take it out physically. But for, for females, they, they, instead of, if they don't take it out, physically, they take it out verbally. Like, like, uh, like verbally, you know, with like, like the way you're saying, like you could go into something and then you take it out on somebody on somebody else, which is, I mean, versus normal. Yeah. And then you apologize to your kids and that's. Yeah, because if we don't, if we don't show them that we, that we know how to apologize and how are they going to learn how to apologize, you know? So that's, that's good teaching right there.
Stephanie 00:51:33 Okay. So, you know, I'll work on it. You know what I mean? Because I was regrowing, I guess I'm the mom. I don't have to think like that. You gotta be like, shit. Okay. Well, tomorrow I'm going to try my best, not to get my best to tolerate or just be more patient. Do you know what I mean? So, you know, we gotta, we gotta always challenge ourselves and, and always want improve them. Y'all gotta always want improvement. It ain't going to have, you don't have to happen overnight. Right. But just make that goal, you know, make goals. That's how I say, make goals. You never too all to, um, I don't need to make goals. No. Make a goal, man. And then set your mind to it, manifested and put that, that pathway of, I want to get there. I'm here, but I want to get there. Yeah.
Jesus H. 00:52:20 Yeah. You always have goals, no matter. I mean, just because you're a certain age doesn't mean you can't have goals or you can't keep going from where, where you're at. Exactly. So, um, I think I was looking at, I was interested in something that was saying that, uh, so then about expectations, expectations, equal disappointment.
Stephanie 00:52:40 Yeah, man,
Jesus H. 00:52:41 What does that, what does that cause you had posted that. I don't know.
Stephanie 00:52:45 Yeah. Yeah. Cause you know, in my journey, you know, that's something I always had a lot of, of depending on the person and then the role to me, whether it was mom, husband, or friend or whatever, you know, we had this expectations or like, you know, um, well they shouldn't do this or they should be doing this or I can let you know. And then all those expectations, eventually you get disappointed you when they don't do that, because the hard truth is that, that, you know, most of the time everybody's out for themselves, you know? And then what, what you get lucky is if that person who's out for themselves, if they're a good person you're going to benefit from that. You know? Cause even if they're out for themselves, they're doing positive shit. And for themselves, if they're a good person, you know what I'm saying?
Stephanie 00:53:38 So the sun is going to go everywhere. You know what I mean? The sunshine will grow everywhere. So it's like, that's how I try to see it. You know, a little theories. And I, I try to tell him and stuff, cut out, you know, expectations of certain people so I could stop getting disappointed. And then when I got sober, that's what made me work on those things and realize those things and like boundaries, you know, setting these boundaries, um, for the, that's what I switched it to, instead of having an expectation from somebody that's, I don't want to name a certain cause if they listen, I don't want to try the, you know, right. And they get all off. You're talking, I came past me here. You know, I'm not trying to do that. You know what I mean? But if you have certain expectations, she's only what I did was I switched it into having boundaries for that person.
Stephanie 00:54:28 I threw expectations that the window Kay, you're obviously you've proven me time and time and time and time again, you fucking person, you keep hurting me hurting me. Right. I keep accepting, accepting second. Cause traditional, like I think, I don't know if it's a cultural thing, but I know me growing up, make I not Chicana, you know, you, you gotta respect your elders, whether they're right or wrong, you, you got to have this echo at somebody that told me respect, you know, and you gotta tolerate it. And it's like, why? Why? No, no, no, no, no, no. Not, not anymore. So it's like I set boundaries and setting those boundaries is what's helped. Yeah.
Jesus H. 00:55:04 And when you, and when you set the boundaries, you know, who's going to stay and who's going to go
Stephanie 00:55:08 Exactly. Because what, you know your worth, you know, and a, those are especially if their health know boundaries are, you know, everybody's boundaries, I'm sure whatever your setting is healthy boundary, you know, it, that's why there it's there, you know? So that, that person knows, Hey, you're not going to do this anymore. To me, I'm not going to accept this anymore. And this is what I'm putting out. And if you can't respect that, then you, I can love you from afar, you know, from bad blood from afar, you know? Yeah. Yeah. So all that is what's, you know, mixes all in and to making what Casa creations is, man. That's, that's not only my brand and my business, but it's like, that name is my life. Like, like I created, like I said, I created like outside. That's where other creations are made the family memories, the, uh, all that, you know,
