weekday Wednesday um what does that mean
for you so a lot of uh people and now
we're talking about like mental health

their haircut every two weeks right so
it really is maintenance so spiritual
Wednesday is for me I'm a mother of
three I've been married life lives and
so I have what I call a running docket
so all my friends and I those my
beautiful
babies cute so you have this this this I
know you are mindful every day but on
Wednesdays especially you set aside this
time to inspire and and the reason why I
ask about that because I saw the post
over the summer when you were on the red
carpet you did an event and you posted a
picture and everyone not everyone people
started to go into your social media and
uh comment on your weight on your slim
figure you disabled your comments I did
which I think is healthy yes and it made
me think about your Wednesday
meditations and your mindful because you
you always talk about keeping the
negativity out keeping the those
comments out you clearly saw those
comments absolutely but where do you put
them right where do you the negative
feelings the the things that are not
good where do you put them you try to
bury them down in your person and all
that end up doing did you expect those I
mean do when you saw the picture of
yourself did you think I look slimmer
than I normally I thought I look c
i now Tamron look I came here to be
transparent like honest I went through a
divorce last year anyone that's ever
been through a divorce knows that
divorce is hard it's like the stomach
flu like you will be skinny afterward
that you drop a 200 lb person you're
going to drop at least 30 lbs so for me
I lost weight just naturally going
through life and I found myself
depressed um before my divorce through
my divorce trying to just navigate and
ReDiscover who am I I'm not the wife
anymore not someone's someone I'm
someone's mom but if I took the mom away
if I took Madam away if I took Top Model
away like who is Eva yeah who am I yeah
and making sure that I prioritized
knowing that character and building that
character you know what I I I so
appreciate that because I saw the
comments and people are speculating oh
she's on this or this or that and I
always tell people you never know what
somebody is going through you don't and
folks get online and they they put that
venom out there not knowing what's going
on and you were right you were going
through a divorce going through any
breakup you you don't start out a
marriage I don't think most people don't
