What a beautiful young lady, very mature. Love that she loves her two identities because I do too.❤😊 thank you Jay!!🎉🎉
😊😊😊😊😊
@@MotivatedVoiceQuotes swuttamsaying......r life b lyk.......
This young woman has the wisdom of a person twice her age. So many of her insights about change and loss and embracing failure resonated deeply with me. As a fellow Latina, I wish her nothing but success and happiness.
You are extremely important and all of us are the same, no one is better than anyone
Yep !she is not on her own. She is an extention of all of her ancestors ❤.. she dearly mentions it in a soft way. Her wisdom is such because she connected to the source multi dimensionally ❤
@@Ceylon727 eye believe in mair-qllez!!!!!!!-
therapy and self healing does wonders
She is the most intellectually spoken artist that I’ve ever heard. She’s young but speaks as though she’s lived a lifetime already. Very impressed 👏🏼
Really??? What artists do you listen to? Not saying she's not well spoken but there are definitely intellectual artists out there. Also, Mexico is in America. She misspoke there.
@@annien3960 I never said there were no other artists that are intellectual as well! Stop nitpicking on on my comment and go about your daily life KAREN! If you have one! ✌🏼
@@annien3960 Mexico is located in North America.
@@JuanDominguez- thought it was south
@@Jennyxx-ie5jw South of the U.S. but geographically located in the northern region of the continent.
haters say she's only latina when it's convenient for her but the truth is she's always been proud of her roots, she's always been repping 2 flags, 2 countries, she's always cared about her community. she's so well spoken and wise for her age, so hard working and deserves all the success she has. im super proud of being her fan ❤
haters gonna hate! She seems really genuine ❤
She's beating dey az.....winning
Thats what happens when people define themselves with identity politics! She says herself that she just wants to be herself and not fit into a box. Looking to a celebrity for representation shows you’re lacking something in your personal life 😂
She is so well spoken and intelligent in the way that she articulates herself. So humble and a beautiful soul!
She’s describes how I feel and how I perceive life. 🇲🇽🇺🇸
Yep exactly ❤
Exactly. Same here.... To a "T".
I can’t get enough of Becky! She honestly seems like such a down to earth caring person and after going to her concert last night and watching the podcast today I am so thankful to have a role model like her in my life!
She does seem down to earth and its refreshing :)
Omg shout out to all the girlies who grew up shaking their 💃🏽 to ' You light me up inside, like the 4the of July, whenever you're around I always seem to smile' 😂❤
Not a girl but even I used to jam to that song in the shower from time to time lmao…a banger
@@harrisonobiorahsame
Every time I hear that song I get so emotional. She’s come so far so proud 😢❤
@@harrisonobiorah Whoops sorry for generalizing it down! 🙊 Glad to see kings also 'singing in the shower' La da di La da daaa 💃🏽
I love how she described the american and mexican culture we face as an American.
I love how down to earth Becky G is. She’s really an intuitive thinker as well. I can listen to her talk all day. She really knows how to grab your attention and hold it.
agreed! ❤
Agreed!
This is my favorite episode this year 🙏🏽 Becky G and Jay Shetty killing it with wisdom 🤍
Becky is so inspiring 💗
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The concept of being at the 'corner' of two cultures and languages really resonated with me. I feel like we often get pushed to identify more with one side than the other. Becky G's perspective on embracing both is refreshing and needed in today's world.
It’s so befitting that this interview released during National Hispanic Heritage Month. Loving this interview 👏🏼
I'm glad!
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
❤
This girl is so amazing, and she's even dealing with serious health issues but she's still out there every day being her awesome self!
Some quotes I really like from this episode:
“You want to live a life of substance. Even in the simple things, love in gratitude.”
“You gotta be willing to do something you’ve never done to get something you’ve never had.”
“Am I setting myself up for success? We are constantly always in process.”
“Let go and let God.”
“There is no such thing as good or bad, there is just you.”
“Everything is happening for us, not to us.”
“I deserve to have filters. The real filters that matter.”
O😊
I’ve listed to the podcast for a while now and Jay usually has something to say but he seemed so impressed by her words and what she was saying that he just sat there and took it all in without interrupting her. What an impressive episode 🩷
Becky G is so inspiring! Thank you for the interview ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@JayShettyPodcast.Jay is the truth ha love you Bwoy. Respec🤝
I understood her. Completely. Every single thing she shared. Thank you Becky & Jay for this episode, for every single thing in your lives that it took to get you both here & for everything it must have taken for this episode to be made. Becky, you are a therapist's dream - not the dream of what any therapist can do but the dream of what a therapist can do to allow someone like you to do the work that only you deserve credit for. Why does it feel like this episode was made just for me.. ? If I were the only one to see this episode, it would have only mattered. Jay, thank you for your comments & sharing this, for all of your work. All of your episodes I have seen have felt crafted to & for my soul's needs, your work is continuing to be life-changing. I was able to cry tears that fed & nourished me instead of tears that confused me or led me to only doubts - thank you both. So much 👌🏼 I haven't had such a validating Monday morning in so long. I haven't perceived this kind of validation for myself in so long. I am better for what this episode was, every single second of it felt catered to & crafted for me & may my home be filled with the Beauty of this content. Thank you both.💘
❤❤❤
We are farmers....dun duh dun dun dun
Thank you, Becky G for articulating how I feel all time! She is so inspiring ❤
Thank you Becky G, for being a role model to young Mexican-American, my children ❤
❤
I love her energy and her true self her possitive vibes she's very inspiring ❤
This video is awesome! Shoutout to all the Latinos. You’re often told you’re too Mexican for the Americans and too American for the Mexicans. Love this podcast!!
Agree!
Thank you :) ❤🇲🇽
I love Becky! I am also Mexican American and I can 100% relate! also grew up in LA! We are programmed to limit ourselves and are taught that we are neither/nor. I love the idea of 200%. I’ve always said, I’m both!
The real Americans are the brown people of Mexico, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Venezuela, etc.
I feel like Becky is the only celebrity that hasn’t sold her soul
Becky G has inspired me so much throughout the years and it was amazing to hear the depth of this interview with her.
I can completely relate to mostly everything that Becky says. She is fully aware of herself! So good.
She is full of wisdom and so young, I’m glad to have to the same heritage and name as her.
Warmth, wholesome, whole, and wisdom beyond her years. So much power, woman! Harness, advocate, and inspire. Model a new but wise way of living in this day and age.
This young woman has so much insight and is so articulate. She has learnt and is in the process of learning, lessons of life that oftentimes it takes a lifetime to realise. I believe that oftentimes when a person like her may be criticised or attempted to be held down; is always related unfortunately to jealousy and the other person’s own personal insecurities. Nice that she has the courage to allow herself to learn but more importantly, to shine! Thanks to Becky and Jay. Great interview. ❤
1:03:27 YES BECKY!!! there’s locks on our doors and we choose who gets to come in our home!! not just anyone can come into our space!!! ❤❤❤
I really
Enjoyed this conversation. I was born in 🇲🇽 and immigrated to the 🇺🇸 when i was 3 years old with my mom. Society wants to place you in a box 📦 and compartmentalize you and label you as one thing to make sense if it self. Meanwhile you are struggling to figure out who you are . The answers is in this conversation. All of our truths can exist all at once. We can be an everything bagel 🥯 😊
much love ❤️ to everyone in this space we call home trying to sort it out. May peace always find you. ✌️
Such an amazing interview, for a 45-year-old woman on her healing path who can relate to a 26-year-old in every word she said. Yes, not being in the public eye, but feeling what she described and having to deal with.
❤
I think that’s what Jay was feeling too. He would get this look in his eye where he connects with something Becky said or is incredibly impressed, and it’s like a pleasant surprise that so much of what he believes and practices is shared with a young 26 year old.
Jay is .....hes a vet........he's carrying and holding his half of the convo he's so experienced he is helping her just let out everything and some and she's in her zone she's loving it and jay is making sure it all come out perfectly all the while there's no such thing as perfect but that's the point....it's good for everyone
So amazing seeing her on this platform. Love her, admire her, and am so inspired by her
So much more appreciation for Becky after this conversation! Her wisdom and perspective is admirable! Go Becky!!
I absolutely loved this episode. B is radiating positivity and confidence in who she is. What a great way to start the week! Had therapy this morning and left feeling 100x better but this episode added to it, i really needed this episode and so many great lessons to learn from Becky.
✨ Things happen for me not to me ✨
She's amazing and beautiful talking about her experience in America as a young Mexican/American Lady. XO XO LOVE HER. Thanks Jay
This was everything I needed and more. So many great take aways. Thank you Becky for your openness and vulnerability. I resonated so much.
Becky G is so well spoken 🫶🏻I love seeing her represent the Latina culture
She does it well ❤
Love that I can relate to the 200% and giving ourselves permission to “let go”. Thank you both ❤
i genuinely love Becky G. she is so humble and inspires me so much. everything she always talks about has so much meaning! thank you for bringing her on the podcast, i enjoyed this so much! 🤍🙌🏻
Wow so many amazing gems in this conversation. Becky G is so wise ❤ thank you for sharing your energy, being so transparent and open. Very appreciative ❤❤❤
I love her personality!!! her vibe and energy is amazing!!! I loved everything on this episode!!!! Bekcy G you go girl!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy to have been able to see this side of Becky. I always admired her since singing in the shower and her success years later, and its even cooler to see how intelligent and in tune she is spiritually. She's younger than me and sounds so wise! :)
This woman is so well-spoken, intellectually captivating, who just by hearing her speak, you can tell she has been through it, knows what it is, and who has put in the work to become the best version of who she can be. Those who have been there, know it and see it. Wishing her nothing but the best in all avenues of her life. Such and inspiration and role model for people to look at, who keeps it real and feels like a friend.
Becky G is just amazing.
She is 😊
Such a poise, positive and inspiring young lady! You go girl! Keep being your fierce self ❤
omgggggg her energy just reaches me and I love the way she's so positive thank you jay of this amazing episode and Becky G I grow up listening to your songs and I love you so much Thank you too for sharing with us your journey ♥♥♥
So amazing to listen to this episode. As a Latina this hit close to home. That you Jay for this podcast!
This woman is very inspiring. She needs her own podcast. I can listen to her all day. I love her perspective of life and her positivity. It seems as if she has lived a long life on the way she speaks. Very intellectual lady!
As a Mexican born and American, I totally get her point about being half and half.
Half American, half Mexican.
I like to take back some power and define myself, as I see fit.
Fitting to me.
I say that I'm a pocho, nacido mexicano, y estadounidense.
Some people say, that I was born Mexican and I will always be Mexican and nothing else, but Mexican.
I say, not true.
I'm Mexican and American.
I cannot disregard my complete life in the USA.
At the end, I say what I am. I don't need, no validation, nor approvals.
I have both passports, and travel as a Mexican, and as an American.
Soy orgullosamente mexicano, y hablo español.
🇲🇽🇺🇲
What a great conversation between both of you, the maturity that Becky display’s shows great things are coming.
I was never a fan of her until she started singing in Spanish. I just felt like her voice and her performances were more natural she came into her own identity and I’m now a fan. She’s doing amazing so proud of her ❤️
its so nice to hear her talk about her experiences with her familia. my mother was adopted from her home in colombia. she never knew her mother or her father.. and they took espanol away from her.. the only family ive ever had are my siblings and mother.... ive been close with aunts and uncles, maybe one point as a kid an aunt marina who was a mother to me. but now that im 20 i rly feel more alone.. not knowing my colombian family it breaks my heart so much.. i wish i could know my tias and uncles and neices and nephews and im learning spanish because i want to carry on my latin culture to my children. salsa dancing w my mom and sat mornings cleanings and praying to go is the most experience ive had. i want to learn more about colombia and my culture. esp for my mother as i know she does want to too.. this interview is truly the best.... getting wisdom from becky g
I absolutely love how Becky G explains stuff. I had to switch from audio to video because I needed to visually see her too. Well done!
Love this interview! Thank you Jay and Becky!❤
She is so inspiring and I’m so proud of her and her work! such a beautiful human being❤
When they said "STOP PLEASING PEOPLE". I wanna know does it includes the people we love like our parents especially. Sometimes pleasing them takes much of our pleasure. 😐
Yes, "people pleasing" is when you are putting other people's needs too much in front of your own. Family can especially cross boundaries so we need to uphold ours when necessary :)
Such a beautiful human inside & out, she is very intelligent and mature for her age. I love when my Latina’s represent with so much class and grace ❤
Really love her spirit she has a beautiful spirit
Incredible to be listening to looking for your sense of belonging & how to block out negativity. Having breaks from social apps is useful! Keep up the great work Jay 🎉❤
She's Very like an old soul, very intelligent speaks very wisely, very smart. Love this interview better than the other ones I've seen so far.
Oh my goodness I love this so much !!! I totally get it cos I feel the same from being part of two cultures which are Hmong and American! Thank you for shinning light on this. It can be complicated but it’s beautiful 😍
Becky is so well spoken and a lot of what she said resonates so much with me. I appreciate her music but appreciate the person she is even more. I enjoyed this video and listening to both of you.
I love her energy❤
I am always so impressed by this woman! She is such a kind, thoughtful, incredible human being. Thank you for putting into words the feeling of being part of two different countries/cultures. Also, thank you for
Thought i'd give this video a go and ultimately found myself loving every second. Truly helped guide me into a proper mindset and opened up many new doors with the intention of bettering myself and my overlook on life in general. I have grown up a fan of Becky G and hearing how positive her outlook on life is and how she handles each obstacle was truly motivating. Hearing the conversation between Jay and Becky was so clear and direct that it almost seemed like I was sitting in on the conversation as well. 10/10 will recommend this channel and this specific video for all. so inspiring.
What a pleasant thrill to listen to Becky G. A Young vessel, with an Old Soul filled with so much maturity, wisdom and intelligence ❤ Thank you Jay for sharing! Biggest take-aways for me; Everything happens FOR me, and Learning to Set Boundaries 👍 May you both Stay Blessed and continue to Thrive in all you do 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Wow! She is beyond her years. Definitely feeling the positive vibes after this one!
I love the fact that he is asking questions becky g needs to answer and he's telling her these very good questions that I don't really get to hear Thank You So Much For Interviewing Her and very detailed conversations and feels So Healing ✨️🙏🏻
Woah! I had never stopped or care to listen to Becky G because I thought her music isn't that good and besides she's too young. But man, this podcast was sent from God. It's been a long while since I haven't learned this much. Not to say how many times I had to pause the video to reflect and write down what was been said because she was saying it in away that was comprehensive and fitting to me. Becky G you are very young and yet so wise! I wish I could sit and listen to you talk. And like Jay said, "prayer is speaking and meditation is listening".
Ahhh I love Becky G and can relate to her so much. Such an inspiration ❤
You’re absolutely not alone, I’m Latin/Korean, let’s celebrate it all ❤
Probably one of the Best interview's, that I've seen in a long time. She dropped so many Great gem's, it was just non-stop fulfillment. Loved it.
AGH her self-awareness and wisdom is so cool and refreshing. I love interviews like these!!
Thank you for Jay for having Becky G. I loved this video so so much. I was able to resonate with a few topics. I look forward to more videos and Becky G's success ❤
So inspirational. Admire the way she always speaks and always reflects where she came from.
Wow, this young lady is fire and wise beyond her years. I love the part about filtering out people when sharing wins and losses
the amount of times I got goosebumps from Becky’s wisdom. Life changing🙌🏽✨ I’m gonna have to rewatch and take notes📝
Thanks for having becky she has learned so much and she is always positive you always see her happy and smiling and sharing her wisdom with all of us she just gives us so much positivity that makes us feel special and different and i love her for that. She is so humble and still so sweet its almost like we know her so much on a personal level almost like we know her in real life but she has grown beautifully even in the spotlight and having her family being so close has kept her grounded and humble and thats what helps you when growing up the way she did. She is so inspiring and beautiful becky g we love u. Thanks jay for having such great episodes that matter to us in life.
Beautiful energy...
Eloquently spoken...
Great interview 🙏🏼💖✨
Thank You Jay Shetty for being such an Incredible Person and Always putting such Amazing Interviews together with such Amazing People. Your Podcast is My Favorite. Keep Up the Good Work💗
I am working from home and needed back music to keep me going and hop on this. OMG, this is very insightful and eye opening. Excellent, Confidence and Bravery is an understatement. Good Session
Wow, I felt this conversation. What a great start to my Monday!
46:00 wow I’m so thankful for her vulnerability and honest truth. I really connected with “it feels empowering to know I got me”. It’s really hard to be there for yourself but it’s something I value and know is important to truly prioritize yourself.
Wow. Jay, I was waiting for the day that you had Becky on. I have been following you for 10 years and she has been going into a transformation the last 3 years that has been unfolding before our eyes. I almost feel that her purpose is beyond music and music is just the vehicle.
What a beautiful, articulate young woman. It makes me feel proud as a Mexican American women. Very inspiring to listen to and watch. I admire your vulnerability, I see you❤️ thank you both ❤️🌹keep making us proud B ❤️🌹💪💃
I listened to this podcast episode twice because I enjoyed this conversation so much! Becky was transparent with her journey and talked about the challenges that many young Latinos and first/second generation children of immigrants deal with as they carry the responsibility of supporting their families. I also admire how she also talked about getting help and how she's evolved throughout the years. For anyone who grew up bicultural, you know that you feel like you don't truly belong in either group and as we can see in some of the comments here, many of us are not "latino" enough of "American" enough. Basta!
Yes! I’m so glad Becky G got on your show. I’ve been watching you for so long but this show got me so excited to watch.
So impressed by Becky G! Wow. Down to earth. Love that she shares the importance of family. Body Mind Soul needs daily work. For a very young person, you are eloquent and well put together mentally. Great episode w Jay and Becky.
Wow! I have learned a new admiration for Ms. Becky G. She's very wise at such a young age. I wish I had that wisdom when I was her age.
Jay what amazing human being you are I love watching and listening to you and all your guests, I love Becky G and what a smart girl she is , it’s so nice to be able to see how people express themselves thru your podcast , GOD BLESS
Thank you so much for sharing was exactly what I need to hear today! God Blessed both of you ❤❤❤
Real talk here! Love it! Let’s all stay focused and help others and grow! Make dreams happen! LETS GO!!!!🎉🎉🎉
My goodness. I really have to listen to this a couple more times to digest all of the gems. I wasn’t expecting that from someone so young. Great episode!
Wow she speaks so well, thanks for having her. Loved seeing this side of Becky.
I must say, I wasn’t a big Becky G fan (musically), I was even going to skip this interview! Then I got a glimpse of the preview and it got my attention. Very well spoken and totally relatable in all aspects! I’m a fan of hers now as a person and human being!
She is so strong❤❤
Yes ı agree
Becky is so well spoken & I loved this episode!
Yes, I had asked on another podcast video what was the difference from prayer and meditation and after listening to this podcast, you answered my question. Thank you Jay! "Payer is you talking to God, and meditation is God talking to you, (David Lynch)" 😊 1:16:08
