00:00:00.000 All right, what up guys? Welcome to the Just Pearly Things YouTube channel and welcome to Morning Coffee Thoughts where I get my thoughts over morning coffee.
00:00:08.000 I have a special announcement, guys. I am officially coffee-free for four days.
00:00:16.280 Four days. Do you guys even understand?
00:00:21.200 Now, I know I've been coffee-free before, but last time I was coffee-free, I was kind of cheating.
00:00:26.660 okay I was kind of cheating I was drinking chai tea lattes in the morning now
00:00:32.920 straight water now everyone in the office thinks I'm gonna quit
00:00:38.500 and I think that's fair because every time I've done this I've quit but this time guys
00:00:44.500 I think it's different now the reason I decided to quit coffee I'll tell you what
00:00:50.900 I have been wanting to lose 20 pounds for years I've been trying I've tried so hard
00:00:57.280 and I'm going to get into that because a lot of you guys have questions not questions but I guess
00:01:01.640 I got a lot of messages like very concerned about my thyroid issues I mentioned last video
00:01:07.440 and I was debating if I wanted to share more about this but sometimes I share things and other
00:01:15.800 people have gone through the same thing so maybe maybe someone else has had the same issue I don't
00:01:20.020 know. Okay. But what was I talking about? Okay. So I met with a nutritionist the other day
00:01:28.380 because I've been trying to lose this weight forever. And he told me, you really have to
00:01:36.000 reduce 300 calories a day. Like that's our goal for you. He didn't even tell me to quit coffee
00:01:40.440 because he said, I get like such a light in my eyes when I talk about these. We don't have to
00:01:47.280 quit it, but let's try to reduce it. And then I thought to myself, I'm like, well, 300 calories a
00:01:51.920 day. That's really my coffee in the morning. And I'm like, so you're saying all I have to do is
00:01:58.500 quit this coffee. Maybe it'd be easier just to quit it. This was my thought process. Was I right?
00:02:06.620 Was I wrong? I don't know. But this gives me an excuse to talk about health and what my personal,
00:02:13.880 I guess journey has been with health. I hate saying the word journey. It's kind of gay, but 1.00
00:02:18.500 whatever. So when I was a kid, I was an athlete. And guys, some of my earliest memories are in the
00:02:29.420 gym. I remember being like seven years old playing basketball. I'm not like some of you people. Some
00:02:35.580 of you people can remember up to when you were like two, three, four years old.
00:02:43.880 not me really like I had kind of a bad memory in general I forget what I did a week ago you know
00:02:51.460 what I mean um anyways so um basically I have trained very intense from the time I was 12
00:03:01.520 and I because when I was 12 I started travel volleyball now what's travel volleyball
00:03:08.320 I used to train and I did two sports so travel volleyball was two and a half hour practices
00:03:16.040 like four days a week plus weekends you would have tournaments so you were there all day like
00:03:21.560 we would get there at like I don't know seven in the morning and leave at like sometimes we'd leave
00:03:27.100 at four four and a lot of times these were out of state so I would be in Vegas one weekend I would
00:03:37.380 be in Colorado another weekend, like just playing. And I didn't really mind. Like a lot of people
00:03:44.080 would say, oh, that sounds so horrible. No, I loved it. I loved sports from the time I was 12.
00:03:55.620 And I played two sports. So not only did I do that, but I also played basketball.
00:04:00.940 So I would go, I would basically get out of school at 2.30. Okay. And that's why when they
00:04:07.220 say were you a traditional woman I'm like lady when was I supposed to learn how to cook now
00:04:13.540 I actually can cook now everybody everybody says pearl can't whatever I'm not saying I'm a chef
00:04:20.340 but I'm pretty decent all right so anyways I um I would get out of school at like three o'clock
00:04:27.020 as you say then I would have to wait an hour for basketball practice that would be at I think like
00:04:32.020 four maybe i'd get out of that at six i would have to drive an hour from school to volleyball
00:04:38.660 7 45 at night to 9 30 something like that i wouldn't get home till like 11 12
00:04:46.820 no we get i get home at like 11 o'clock at night then i would have to do homework if i wanted to
00:04:52.180 now me when i was younger um sports that was always my first like i just loved it
00:04:57.620 you know when i when we lost in college in college i was the same way too
00:05:03.780 i would organize extra practices like um during off season i would rent out the the school gym
00:05:12.740 and i would get all the the chicks that quit basically because the chicks that were on the 1.00
00:05:17.780 team there's only a couple that wanted to torture themselves with extra practice like i did
00:05:21.780 um so I couldn't get like six on six so what I would do is I would get the other girls um that 1.00
00:05:29.960 like quit or like didn't play the year before and I would organize my own practices I loved
00:05:37.520 practice now mind you this did hurt me in other areas of life um obviously
00:05:43.760 when you do that um you know when you're out of the house that much nutrition was never at the
00:05:55.020 top of my priority but my whole life I could kind of get away with it because I just ate
00:05:59.460 sorry I just worked out so much and this really translated into my adult life um I got kind of fat
00:06:05.900 after college um I made it to like 210 pounds and I blew up really quick because I was used to
00:06:13.860 working out like four hours a day because in college I might not well actually I did I did
00:06:19.080 do basketball I ran track I even did lacrosse for two weeks in college but I graduate right um
00:06:25.220 and I just blow up like a balloon because I mean my body's like you're not working at you've been
00:06:32.380 working out four hours a day since you were 12 I ran a marathon I literally I decided okay I just
00:06:39.880 got fat I was like 210 pounds embarrassing I know and I ran a marathon to lose the weight and I did
00:06:48.320 um then and I was back to the same weight because I basically been the same weight since high school
00:06:54.380 give or take like five like sometimes gain five ten pounds but then I'd lose it you know um anyway
00:07:00.880 so well except for that time I was 200 yeah anyways
00:07:09.900 what did I do next then I signed back up and now I play semi-pro again now semi-pro definitely is
00:07:20.920 not as intense as college college was very intense um like guys I picked my school
00:07:29.500 because they didn't follow the NCAA guidelines I think they got in trouble for it later
00:07:34.880 but like I I would come to practice it'd be a two-hour practice I would get there like 45
00:07:40.880 minutes early I wanted to win national championship then on top of that we would have lift so after
00:07:47.600 practice we would lift like and I remember dead lifting two plates this was right like
00:07:53.260 like two 45 pound plates I would have a 25 pound like I'm still pretty strong to this day I'm not
00:07:58.920 saying that this is good I'm just saying I am anyways so now I'm an adult and as an adult you
00:08:11.540 work more and I realized just because maybe my BMI was healthy I needed to kind of look into my
00:08:19.880 hormones and my breathing and like there's okay since I was a kid basically I had this issue of
00:08:29.660 I would be one of the most in shape women on my volleyball teams like if we did the mile 1.00
00:08:34.940 maybe not burpees but if we did the mile I'd be like second there's one little skinny chick named 1.00
00:08:41.260 Francesca she she would just beat everybody but I would be second in like the running test but I
00:08:47.100 would be so out of breath I would be like like it would sound so terrible like it didn't matter
00:08:53.000 if I was in better shape than them I could not breathe like a normal person ever and I've gotten
00:08:57.540 this from the time I was young um fast forward I find out I like breathe through my mouth and I
00:09:06.220 think you're not supposed to do that basically because I've always had terrible allergies I went
00:09:11.560 to the allergy doctor they they poke you know the things on your back they couldn't believe it
00:09:16.240 they're like, how are you allergic to this much stuff? I'm like, I don't know. Um, I go to these
00:09:21.540 like, what do you call it? Functional medicine dot. I went to one of those. They're like,
00:09:28.600 how do you live like this? I'm like, I don't know. I just live. Um, so basically I've been
00:09:36.900 trying to figure out what the problem is now. I'm sure working out from a super young age
00:09:42.300 probably didn't help. And I eat, I eat a lot better than I did when I was younger. Cause
00:09:49.100 I remember eating like cookies for breakfast when I was a kid. I definitely don't do that anymore.
00:09:55.140 Um, but I still found it like exceptionally hard to lose weight. Um, anyways, so I find out my,
00:10:04.560 my t3 levels are bad they're like low not good um probably from years of no because remember you
00:10:14.820 know if you're working out this much guys and you're doing school and i was a decent student
00:10:19.740 i was decent so i'm not saying i didn't like i was at a straight a's by any means but
00:10:24.720 i never had a problem failing classes well i did fail one in england but that was that was
00:10:31.000 because I didn't care but anyways but when I was a kid just like historically I didn't I never
00:10:35.040 really failed classes like that but but so you know I never really had the like zodiac rhythm
00:10:46.120 or whatever because I mean I had practiced till 10 o'clock at night I mean when was I gonna get
00:10:51.760 this plus I mean I've tried like I don't even know what it's like not to travel like even when
00:11:04.720 I was a kid we would go on vacation for like a month during the summer my parents would take us
00:11:09.620 to whatever national park they wanted to show us yeah so this was my life anyway so now
00:11:21.740 I'm trying to quit coffee because I do, I've had that habit since I was like 22. It's such a shame
00:11:29.560 because before that I did not have that habit. I had a friend in college. She showed me a caramel
00:11:35.700 macchiato. It ruined my life forever. It ruined my life forever because before then I never drank
00:11:41.580 coffee. This chick showed me that I loved caramel coffee. Anyways, um, so I actually,
00:11:51.260 anyway, so now on top of that, the past two, three years, I've done this night show and a lot of
00:11:58.400 people was like pearls leaving the manosphere, whatever. I mean, I don't know. Once you get
00:12:04.400 red-pilled, you can't un-get red-pilled, but I was like, I'm just stopping these goddamn night 0.96
00:12:09.620 shows guys I can't do them I can't like I would be up until two in the morning now now I know 0.92
00:12:17.420 you're like Pearl why don't you just recruit for them during the day do you know the headaches
00:12:21.760 that come up come with putting these on I'm like no no I'm okay I'm sorry I
00:12:26.800 I just I don't I don't have it in me anymore but
00:12:34.420 i thought about it i was like maybe i kind of want to take a month off i'm demonetized i'm like
00:12:43.000 maybe you could just relax because people have no idea how long it's taken me to build what i have
00:12:48.900 now i know what you're thinking pearl you blew up overnight there's people that have done this for
00:12:52.120 20 years i'm not saying there's not other people that have also worked hard but a lot of people
00:13:00.020 didn't see. The year before, I was on YouTube. So I started the show in 2021, I think, maybe.
00:13:09.840 I don't know. It was my first year in England. But the year before that, I did so many reaction
00:13:14.600 videos, guys. I did like, I have 10,000 videos on my channel. I would wake up, I would do 10
00:13:20.380 reactions a day. I would do 10. And before that, even during it, I was also managing like a TikTok
00:13:28.100 account. I grew to a million followers. So I've always had like a broad variety of interests.
00:13:38.040 Anyways, point is this, point is this.
00:13:43.020 I may take a month off. This is really hard for me because I don't know if I'll do it. I might not,
00:13:48.460 but I have to figure out what I'm doing with my life next and like where I want to go.
00:13:54.440 because one regret that I have in life is that I have moved around a lot a lot and I really wish
00:14:04.180 I didn't do that now I do think I had good reasons for moving as much as I did now I know
00:14:10.260 I know you guys are like Pearl what good reasons could you I do think I had good reasons typically
00:14:16.280 when I moved it was because I wanted to accomplish a goal you know for example I switched schools in
00:14:23.820 college because I wanted to win a national championship. And I was like, I want to go
00:14:28.700 where I can win a national championship. I liked my first school way better than my second school
00:14:33.300 that I transferred. I mean, the second school kind of grew on me, but the first school I enjoyed way
00:14:38.580 more. But I gave that up because I wanted to win a national championship. Now, did I? No.
00:14:46.020 You know, I lived in Milwaukee for a couple of years. I really enjoyed that. And right when I
00:14:52.320 was starting to enjoy it I decided that I wanted to go on YouTube and do the social media thing
00:14:59.860 so then I moved and moved back to my parents house
00:15:06.140 and while I was there well I actually I had this decision I was going to do social media
00:15:13.260 while pursuing volleyball I missed volleyball guys it was a part of me like it was you know I
00:15:20.060 just my dad would always tell me there was more to life than volleyball and he's right there
00:15:25.880 definitely is but I didn't see it back then anyways so I moved from Milwaukee to back to
00:15:32.460 my parents house to and then I was supposed to go to England for a year but it got canceled so
00:15:38.640 I was at my parents house for a year then I go to England because I'm trying to be a pro athlete at
00:15:43.120 the time. You know, now I'm at a crossroads because what I found is that usually it takes
00:15:50.360 about, it takes about two years to really settle into a place. It takes about two years to really
00:15:56.240 like have enough friends and like build up those relationships. And it kind of stinks having to
00:16:04.620 start over. Now, every time you start over, you learn how to do it quicker. But I've learned in
00:16:10.000 life that the grass really is greener where you water it. It really is. Like I think always when
00:16:17.680 I'm happiest, it's when I've been in one place for a prolonged period of time. When I'm moving
00:16:22.800 around all the time, you have to start over, you know, and even like I've lost contact with some
00:16:30.040 really awesome friends that, I mean, I don't want to say lost contact. It's not like we're blocked
00:16:34.440 or anything. We're still friends, but I don't speak to some really awesome friends on a regular
00:16:39.400 basis because I moved. I moved. I mean, chick, you're moving all the time. So 0.77
00:16:45.220 part of me is just like, well, I could just stay in England. I don't mind it.
00:16:53.680 And, you know, I was on track to building this content house in London. My idea basically was
00:17:00.160 I wanted to build a content house in London. And I actually wanted to add a school to it. I get so
00:17:06.300 many people that want to come work for me. What if I said, hey, apply to my school. You can edit.
00:17:11.980 You can, we'll teach you what we know. Boom. Cheap labor. Boom. Boom. Cheap labor. Boom.
00:17:20.700 It's like a win-win. You know, we teach you what we know. Hire the best people. It's like a job
00:17:25.660 guaranteed if you pass these certifications or something. Now we're demonetized. Now we can
00:17:33.340 reapply after three months. And I'm fairly confident we can get back in it based on what
00:17:40.440 I've spoken with my YouTube rep. What caused me to get demonetized was saying, I can't say it
00:17:47.760 because I'm on YouTube. Let's just say it rhymes with fanny, but with a T, and that you can't say
00:17:55.340 that one group of people is dumber than another group of people. So when I use that in a gender 0.99
00:18:01.520 context, I guess. YouTube didn't like that. So that is the official reason. None of these TMZ
00:18:08.800 reaction channels, they don't care. And it's so frustrating because they don't care about what's
00:18:14.160 true. They don't care. They have their narrative. So, you know, all of these guys are just going to
00:18:21.380 say I was demonetized for something I was not demonetized for. Whatever, whatever, you know,
00:18:28.940 do your thing guys um but back to
00:18:34.600 back to what i was saying about the health stuff part of me because i've worked so incredibly hard
00:18:45.000 the last three years like i have worked my butt off um i kind of want to just take a month off
00:18:51.060 I really do. I'm like, I'm demonetized. Anyway, I might, I might do it. I might just go home for
00:18:59.700 a month. I don't know. And in that month, I really want to focus on getting my hormone levels more
00:19:06.560 normal because the last couple of years, no, my whole life, I've really neglected that.
00:19:13.860 And, and apparently, sorry, back to the health stuff. I might have a tongue tie. I don't know.
00:19:18.900 because some people say I have a tongue tie some people say I don't but I guess the butyco 0.98
00:19:24.600 breathing stuff might help me um with like it's all connected they say like the hormone stuff
00:19:35.980 so apparently like because I breathe wrong that affects like everything
00:19:41.360 and i've been eating a ton of steak lately i'm like i've heard steak like fixes you so i was
00:19:49.680 like let's eat steak don't know if it's had the overnight effect i was hoping for but we keep on
00:19:59.740 keeping on so i don't know that's that's my my health stuff i had so many people text me they're
00:20:05.160 like, it was almost like I was dying. I'm like, guys, I'm not dying. I'm okay. I know I was kind
00:20:11.720 of bummed out in that video. I was like, I think, I think I was pretty sad because I mean, and that's
00:20:18.000 the thing, guys, YouTube can take away your livelihood like that. It's like you do. I can't
00:20:23.200 even imagine Sneeko. He did that for 10 years. He, that man grinded 10 years. YouTube said,
00:20:31.280 not today, bitch. I'm demonetized. I thought about all the work I did. But sorry, back to the 1.00
00:20:40.820 content houses. You know, I want to basically start content houses in each cities. And I wanted
00:20:47.380 to have like four or five people per house. But you know, now we're obviously losing money every
00:20:54.720 month uh so that's gonna kind of slow that down and then my question is do I want to keep building
00:21:04.960 this content house or do I just want to say screw it go home you know maybe I'll I'll keep you know
00:21:13.020 Christine on have her but it's like one person do I want to keep signing people
00:21:18.080 I really liked the idea of the houses I wanted to do it in all the major cities I want to do it in
00:21:24.200 like, Vegas, Miami, but once you realize how difficult it is to, like, start these,
00:21:31.160 you're like, I don't know, maybe it's just too much work, maybe I'll just do my stuff,
00:21:37.240 I don't know, but let me know what you guys think in the comments, because I really wanted to
00:21:41.640 contribute, I really wanted to build the media company that I wished I had growing up, you know,
00:21:46.460 because even the right-wing stuff is just, like, still la-la land, it's still, like,
00:21:50.640 you guys are living in the 1950s it's not the 1950s anymore I'm not happy about it but
00:21:56.080 like this is the world we're in you know so I really wanted to contribute to like
00:22:04.160 making the media that I wished I had growing up and I knew it couldn't just be me so I thought
00:22:10.060 well I'm obviously killer at YouTube so I should sign people you know and now the question is do I
00:22:18.460 want to get like I can move into like a official and I have the money I can do it um audacity
00:22:28.800 network building or do I just want to you know go home I don't know uh but let me know what you
00:22:37.300 guys think in the comments because I for a year I've been saying I'm gonna move and I really
00:22:42.800 didn't like London but now I'm like well it's kind of growing on me they're kind of classy people
00:22:47.280 and then i have to start over i don't know i don't know let me know what you guys think in
00:22:53.980 the comments um no i'm not yeah some of you guys the comments it was like i'm like i'm not dying
00:23:01.060 i'm just i think my hormones are off like the video guys subscribe to the channel i'll talk
00:23:06.320 to you next time
