W. B. ***. L. T. V presents makeup room confessionals will one rules the house.
I mean, she is the alpha, she bosses the other one around. It's so funny, I
mean, but the dresses are just like, I don't think my father would have let me
dress that my mother
and her father, my husband was like, oh I tell you, it was one of the most
peaceful things I've done in my entire life and just to focus on surviving,
trying to filter your water and to make your own food.
Hello everyone. It's time for another episode of makeup room confessionals on
this week's episode. Ask the crew, what advice would you give to your younger
self? Including reporter Dr tim Tootin making his makeup room confessionals
debut. Hey guys, Ashley Henson, I am the anchor of the five PM and 10 PM
newscast on W. B. ***. L. T. V. 11 and today I am giving advice to my younger
self. So something I would say to *** younger Ashley is stop caring what
people, I think it is *** waste of energy. Use all of that effort and time
and focus it on what's important to you, what your values are, what your
priorities are and what's important to God and the rest of it will fall into
place.
Well, there are probably so many things I could tell to my younger self, but
probably the biggest thing I would focus on is working on my stress sooner.
Um and learning how to live in the moment sooner because I think that's
*** big part of our mental health is learning how to be happy, what what
what we have, be grateful um and to think about the future and plan for it
but not stress about it so much. Um I always wanted to work hard and be
successful but I think I put too much pressure on myself which made it hard
to enjoy what was happening at the moment, so if I could go back I wish I
could have enjoyed those moments *** little longer um and just had
confidence that the future was gonna work itself out. Everybody Jason from
11 News today, we're talking about what advice you'd give to younger version of
you, there's so many things I would have told me because I got it wrong
when I was younger, but I guess there are two things, one I would have told
myself to read more, I feel like I'm catching up on things that people um
knocked out probably in high school um and I think that reading more helps you
understand the world *** little bit better. So um in books, I mean I was
reading the newspaper, that kind of thing, but I think books and literature
and titles that people know I would have done more um and then listen the
more I think you know you're younger, you know listen as much as you should
as an adult um you spend *** lot of time listening and it's you know it's
interesting to hear how much people are different, their experiences are
different. Um, and then um creating conversation, it's those little nuggets
that end up in like, you know, cocktail parties that you can talk about. Um but
I think those little nuggets helped to form you *** lot, so reading more
listening more, I would have done more of as little Jason, hey, it's lacey, we
were talking about what we would, what kind of advice would give to our
younger selves. Um there's *** lot, I'm sure most of us feel that way, but I'd
say probably number one is just to have confidence, have confidence in your
choices, your decisions. I wish I had more of it. I'm sure I had some, but I
think when you're young and you're growing, you're trying to go with the
trends or what's happening, where your friends are doing and I think I just
wish I had *** louder voice. You know, it was more confident in who I was as
*** person and really went with it. Um I think *** lot of young women
especially now could really use that to with social media, I'm glad I did not
have that aspect in my life, but you know, just being who you are in your
skin, owning it, being proud of it and I would also tell my younger self self
not to cut your own bangs, that is *** big regret, yeah, what advice would I
give the younger attempt to the one without gray hair. The one just
starting out and, and some of my broadcasting classes while I learned
how to write etcetera. There was one professor who talked about what we're
doing now, that one day you'll be able to order food from home. We couldn't
envision that you'll be able to order things. He was talking about marketing
and what was to come had I listened, maybe I would have invested or paid
more attention to the internet. I never talked about it and I was able to
reconnect with him *** couple of years ago at University of Alaska. I said I
get it now, but the younger me would have been thinking not just the present
broadcast, not just I'm on the radio or tv, but thinking with the wider lens of
what was to come. I mean, we're enjoying this now wifi internet. Uh,
you know, all of the other things that allow us to get things quick, fast in
*** hurry. But I wish I would have given that young tim, the advice and
the other advice in terms of the business. Really, I stumbled into more
things and I'm really grateful for that. But I'm not sure I could have given
that young tim any more advice than to be hungry and to be nice and niceness
gets you *** long way. So I'm okay with the younger tim. In fact, I have ***
younger tim and my son and I try to tell him some things about, here's what
the younger tim would do. And so I always think about that.
