0:00.0	If you guys don't know who this is, she is a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
0:03.0	You're a Christian, an outspoken Christian, which is, I think, very hard to find nowadays.
0:08.0	And I'm sure even on, like, Netflix and being on the team, maybe that was like a little scary for you.
0:13.0	I have experienced some hateful things.
0:17.0	It's really easy to do in a broken world to kind of look around you and be like, I would love to have her body.
0:22.1	I still struggle with this topic. The era that I was in was, oh, like, if you want to be this,
0:28.4	you have to be tiny and a double zero and all these requirements when really it's like that's not
0:34.4	realistic. I do feel like Netflix has been a little critical of Christianity.
0:39.5	Have you experienced any, like, lashback or flack from people or anyone criticized you?
0:44.7	And...
0:45.2	Big time.
0:46.1	Not everyone's going to agree with you and not everyone is going to love what you say or do.
0:50.4	I think that is something that is so undervalued is finding a man that's very secure,

1:07.6	or like you're not allowed to go and see that friend. He allows me not

1:17.1	who does not suppress your dream.
1:25.5	Reese, welcome to happy and healthy. So excited to have you on. I recently did a Q&A on my Instagram. And you were one of the most requested people that everyone want on the podcast. So thank you for coming on this last minute. No, thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited. You know, I look up to you and just who you are, what you stand for. And so I'm so honored to be here. Thank you. Wait, so had you followed me before?
1:50.5	I, okay, so we met at the Charlotte Tilbury. Yes. Event. Event. Yes. And that was, that was my very first, like, influencer type event. And I walked in so not knowing what I was, that was my very first, like, influencer type event. And I walked in so not knowing what I was
2:04.9	doing. I was kind of like, oh, this is a little intimidating. But the Lord knew that I needed to meet you.
2:10.8	And so, I had seen your stuff. I don't know if I followed. I'm not that great with social media.
