4:23. “I know that they love and appreciate mom as the artist, but for me: it’s like because she was the artist that’s why she died” hearing that- gave me chills. I never thought about it from that perspective and it truly broke my heart to view it that way.
Johnny touched a good point, that I just realized I also did. I pushed people away that were close to me because I just couldn’t deal with their need to “Help”
grief is tough because it then makes you build a "tough" wall around you where you do not want anyones help or pity because you do not want them to see or know that deep down inside you really are in so much pain. That was me at first. Now Im ok with saying yes after 18 years without her i still hurt
Same when I lost my father the constant ambush of people trying to help or so it was just a lot in that moment. You know they mean well but in the moment I just wanted to take it all in alone.
So proud of all of you but especially proud of Johnny!! Everyone thought he would be this fragile boy but he was the one who started asking questions regarding his mom’s empire!!! Now they are in charge ofJenni’s brand !!! He’s very smart and down to earth, he shut so many up!! He’s an amazing young man❤ Jenicka, love how she acknowledges Johnny’s hurt and apologizes she’s a very good sister❤
You both are super self aware. Johnny you blow me away with how wise you are and compassionate. You said if we were all held accountable of what we did in our 20’s! That’s great that at your age, you understand this. I can definitely empathize with Jenicka, you both are amazing humans
Just this podcast itself proves how strong and how beautiful you guys grew up to be. Your mom was always so proud and strong on defending her kids, and now i see why because all of you 5 are amazing kids
Johnny has touched sooo many points. Just to hear you both talk about such a vulnerable topic makes you guys that much more amazing and strong! The part when Johnny said that he was not born in poverty and then he lost both his parents..it's like it life was giving him a balance cause if not it would have been too good to be true...wow!! That touched my heart..keep these vulnerable topics going. They are therapeutic for me and you guys remind me that life is precious and that I need to stop worrying and stressing about the Littles things..I'm such a stresser. Love you guys!!
I had just gotten into your mom’s music and found your reality show right before she passed away. I remember crying hard for days as if I too had lost my mom. I cried because I wanted to hug all of you. I wanted to be there for you guys. I was hurt at the fact that you guys didn’t deserve to lose your mom and your mom didn’t deserve to lose her life. My mom lost both of her parents at a very young age and she raised us in a way where we appreciated having both parents alive and present. I’ve worried so much about you guys over the last 10 years. Fuck the money and fame.. I have deeply wished healing and happiness for all of you as the normal people that you are. No money in the world can fix a broken heart. Only love can.. and as a person that loves to love and care for others before myself, I want you to know you are LOVED by me. Thank you all for being so strong cause lord knows I could not get through what you guys have experienced at such young ages. I see so much growth in you guys just from what I see on social media. You’re all doing great things on this earth 🤍 RIP to your momma and everyone else that was in that plane. I did get the opportunity to meet and give love to some of you in Woodland (my hometown) when you guys came to do the car wash. I couldn’t believe you guys chose such a small town to do it in, but I was grateful to have been able to hug you all so tight. I’ll never forget that day.
My kids lost their dad 3 years ago. Both my kids now deal with anxiety. I recently found out my daughter doesn’t believe in God. That really broke my heart but hearing Johnny say he himself at one point stop believing but is once again a believer brings me some hope that maybe my daughter will believe again too. Thanks guys for sharing.
It's harder to grieve when you are so young especially if you don't have parents to help out through the pain 💔. I love you Jenicka and Jonny. You guys have been through so much yet you keep pushing forward 🙏 respects for that because I'm 34 and when I lost my favorite person I felt like I went down the drain 🥺
I hope you interview all your siblings before anyone else 🥰 I love when you guys open up because you guys are so sincere and just human, y’all don’t try to act like your life’s are perfect. May God Always bless your family
Completely agree with Jenicka , “I’m sorry” and “it will get easier” we’re the worst…..it NEVER gets easier, I just learned to cope differently. The birth of my grandson was pivotal…..he brings joy to my life. Anytime I think back to the day my mom passed , the pain is as real as that day….
I lost my both my parents, my mom 7 years ago & my dad 5 years ago and it’s sooo fucken hard. I was in my early 20’s and I just felt the world falling on me. Thankfully I had my boys to help me push through but omg if it’s incredibly hard on me as an adult I can’t even imagine for you guys😢 stay strong y’all 🫶🏼
My favorite part was when Johnny asked: you felt like Bella swan? 🥹😅 I think dark humor is the way me and my siblings cope as well. Thank you for sharing! ☺️
18 years since i lost my grandma who raised me and even though life DOES go by fast and we are busy i still have her picture in my head daily her last words her last smile it brings a tear to me i take a deep breath smile and thank god for the time i had her. Then find something to do. You guys are strong and have so much love and support from jenny fans like me!
guys you have me here crying.. as a mom I just wanted to give u a big hug, you guys are so strong, so mature, the way you see things in such selfless way wow.. anyone would be so proud to have kids like you, I was a fan of your mom.. but you guys have earned my respect!! I love this podcast keep it coming Jenicka, and Johnny you also have a great heart!! may God continue to bless you and your siblings, and even though you are young you are the definition of strength..
I agree with you 100%, God has been the the one to hold me together like glue . BTW, a few years ago I saw you at a Hillsong concert and I had the opportunity to talk to you but didn’t , and I regret not telling you “God bless you, you are loved , and I’m praying for you “ . So here it is . God bless you, you are loved and I’m still praying for you ❤️
"Finding the Balance" the feeling of having everything but feeling empty.. at the same time,being blessed and also feeling like life cheated you, because you ran out of time -Love you Dad 🎸🎶🤍
the way you both talked about how if mikey didnt have luna during that time…. i feel thats what your older siblings needed at that time too.. to take care of you both since you guys were younger…
Jenicka and Johnny i am so proud of how mature you are and the relationship you have, Jenni will aways be your Guardian Angel and protect you all and i thank you for sharing you story of grief, you are great human beings, and i feel like your mom prepared you for something like this your whole lives, maybe she had a feeling, no matter what you all turned out to be amazing kids.
I'm blessed enough to have both my parents with me, but thank you guys for talking about many things we've been conditioned to sweep under the rug as Latinos. We need to have these conversations and communicate no matter how hard it is to do so. I know your mom is so proud of all of her kids, you're all very smart and intuitive. Wishing you a happy new year with so much healing ❤️
God only gives you what you can handle. He knew that you guys were strong enough to handle losing both your parents when you did. Now, you are here as God’s soldiers teaching his people just like your Mama taught us. She handed down the torch to her “Children of the Corn” Thank you, for them Jenni! God bless you! Great podcast, Mija! Your Mama is so proud of you!
I hope this episode will truly help anyone dealing with grief. This year is 19 years I lost my dad and four years I lost my mom. I truly believe this will help someone dealing with loss.
I LOVEEEEEEE how u guys got each others back! You can see ur GROWTH Jeni. For u guys to talk about something not in ur comfort zone and especially in front of the camera Is really amazing . Jenni’s kids are bad ass❤
I can’t imagine how hard it was losing both your parents so young especially since your moms was so public . I remember watching her service all of you were in so much pain. I lost my husband almost 15 years ago I had been with him since I was 18 and it has been a hard journey for me . I too hate when people say I’m sorry
I understand what Johnny was saying. I lost my Dad at 15 and my Mom I was 42 and it was much harder for me loosing my Mom as an adult. My heart and prayers goes out to you all. ❤️
Amazing job Jenicka, this is def your calling. I’m a grown 40 yr old wife and mommy and have found so much peace and joy in listening to your podcasts. It’s became very therapeutic for me. Thank you for following this call and may God bless you abundantly ❤
I related to you all because I was 7 when my dad passed away and the only memory I have of him is when I was told of his passing. Thank you all for sharing this
I lost my mom a year ago it has been a hard time since she’s gone. 😔😔 I love you guys I love this podcast. No one really understands until they’ve gone through until they’re in your same shoes.
After watching Mariposa de Barrio i always cried for you both I would wonder how you all coped with losing your dad and then your mom I’m so glad you all are opening up about topics like this one ❤❤THANK YOU BOTH!!!! God bless you always!
I was the same, I don’t like people to say sorry because what do you reply to that ‘it’s okay’ no you can’t, but I then realized “Sorry” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s their fault, sorry in those times mean ‘ they are sorry you have to go through the that loss, that pain, that experience. But I agree the best thing to do is just say ‘I am here for you’ or a simple hug makes a big difference.
I lost my mom a year and a half ago and my step dad a month ago which he was like my dad and I don’t see the end of a túnel … I appreciate what you guys talked about because it give me hope that one day this horrible feeling will be lighter . Thank you for opening this podcast
Video hasn’t started, me: “You better not cry you better not cry..” video starts… “I swear I’m not crying…” 😢 I love the strength you guys have and as a family, you 5 were a puzzle your mom created to complete each other❤
I've been your mothers' follower since the beginning so i watched you guys grow ..i love all you guys believe me but i feel Mike and johnny so much more i don't know why but just want to say i admire the strength you guys have i cross my fingers 1 day i get to meet with you guys all my love and support always.
Such beautiful kids who have been through so many unimaginable painful situations and seem to be coming out on the other end. God bless them and protect them
I’m only 1:00 in and I’m watching to hope to learn something and to hear from someone who I can relate to. I lost my mother at 24 and going to be 26 in a couple months. I’ve recently been trying to go to church, pray, and talk to who I believe in. It breaks my heart and makes me wanna cry knowing how young I am and how long of my life I have to go without her, my best friend, my everything. I feel so much emotion between sadness, anger, & frustration. I took 4 months off of work trying to grieve untill I realized I’m digging myself into depression. It’s one of those things “get up and fight or let it fight and beat you” …. Prayers to everyone grieving and don’t know how to take it. Take it easy, easy on yourself, and give yourself time💓
Woah the strength in this. “Get up and fight or let it fight and beat you”. It’s where I am at too, I’ve been off off work almost 4 months as well and had been sleeping all the time but now I am making myself get up earlier and do things, and am about to go back to work life. I feel bad being able to get up and do things since my dad is gone and was so sick before, but I know I’ll heal in time.
Wow if this isn’t me im 24 and I lost my mother almost 8 months ago I’m shocked because I feel what you feel word from word so sorry for your loss I get it I really do💔
@@DesireeJ007 don’t feel bad for doing the things you have to do girl🤍 because at the end of the day you gotta do it for yourself and it’s what she would want to see you do anyway. Sending love and light to you. Happy New Year💫
@@rafascrofa and i get you too girl! It’s hard not to feel lost and alone but just remember she’s still with you jus in a different place. I say that because I still talk to mine and have had dreams of her talking back to me🤍 sending prayers of comfort to you.
This episode hit close to home, I lost my mom a yr after y’all lost your mom. I think the hardest part for me is my children not knowing grandma. I just had a good cry. It’s been 9yrs but the holidays are definitely a hard time for us.
Great video jenicka! You had me choking up and even self reflecting on some of the things you guys talked about! I love how open you are with this podcast and I’m looking forward to hearing more ! Thank you Linda and thanks Johnny for opening up and showing us that side🤍🤍
Lost my mom 3 years ago. Struggling with grief so much as I’m entering adulthood it’s so much Love the part about ppl you’ve hurt while grieving it’s really easy to hurt ppl when grieving
The complexity of being human is intense, but like y’all said…we have to find ways to keep pushing forward. Therapy, religion, talking things out, and meditation. Always remember, you guys are imperfect, live life as any human, and make mistakes. I admire yalls vulnerability. You guys are pushing me to continue to work on me for my happiness. Admire yalls mistakes, imperfection, and drive to continue to work on yourself!
Love you guys! My dad died when I was 7 years old. And i said this a few days ago “ if my dad would of died now at 32 I would of not been able to handle it” and when they pass away young you get to deal with it a bit better
This podcast came at a great time. I just lost my sister a few weeks ago and the heartache is one I can not put into words. I’m glad to know that all of these different emotions I am feeling are a normal part of the grieving process. I feel like our world has been torn apart.💔
you guys are so strong ! we love you guys!! you guys maybe don’t realize how much support you guys have from the public. jenni did good raising her kids ! you guys are good hearted
How beautiful, your parents would be so proud of how much you both have grown up , momma prepared you ♥️. Thank you for sharing , your strength and grows shows ! Happy New Year to you all , you deserve some peace love n happiness after all you have gone thru ♥️
Thanks for this! I lost my brother and my other siblings and I all grieve differently. It’s def been hard to understand each other. But this is so important to me to be able to understand my nieces grief from losing my brother (her dad). God bless you all! ❤
My siblings and I are also a part of the “no parent club” that no one at a young age should be a part of 💔 thanks for speaking on such a relateable topic to many!
Johnny brought up something important about a child in grief. As an adult, we want to rescue/shield children from pain and rush to therapy (if ppl can afford it/have access). It’s a lot more healing allowing the child to grieve without pushing therapy right away. There’s a lot that is happening around them that adding one more thing (therapy) can be overwhelming, and they may not be ready to open up to a stranger. Loving this podcast. And Jenicka is wise and mature beyond her years ❤
I lost my husband in 2012 , months before your mom passed away. My daughter had it very hard like me. I went to therapy on my own and with her. Later , I remarried, and it became a DV relationship, I put myself and my family in danger. I feel a strong connection with your family. I have been through many episodes like your mother, which I always admire her for. ❤️ stay strong Riveras , and may God bless you all.
Thank you Jenicka and Johnny for sharing! I really appreciate your vulnerability and this conversations. Grief is such a enormity of emotions and you both had to cope at such at young age. I am so sorry you had to go though that. I am definitely a fan of your podcast, Jenicka (as well as Chiquis’s podcast!). I am excited to follow along on this channel and see upcoming guests. The one feedback I personally have for this one episode in particular is that I would have appreciated hearing Jenicka’s full response to the questions. I felt like Johnny would interrupt while Jenicka was answering a few of the questions. Just something I noticed and thought it would be helpful for upcoming episodes. Again, I appreciate you both for your vulnerability. I know that isn’t easy, so thank you!
I love this episode . My mom past away September 9th 2012 and she was also a big Jenni Rivera fan . Single mother . And this episode helped me and also made me cry 🦋🤍👼🏼
When Johnny said that about pushing people away, I felt that. I pushed very important people away during the difficult time when I lost my mom. And now I regret it, 6 yrs later.
I was 40 years old when I lost my dad and 47 when I lost my mom. My dad passed 17 years and my mom 11 years. I just can't imagine loosing them at that young age. God bless you and your siblings.
I love this. I lost my dad in 2010 and to this day it still hurts. As i get older and achieve dreams theres always someone missing, but i love the little reminders and scents thst come my way to show they are still with us just not physically. ❤ thanks for opening your hearts and sharing.
This is beautiful ❤️ johnny I am so proud of you dude. It's crazy what you went through at such a young age and yes just like anyone else, you've had your moments and dark times but look at how much you have overcome and are overcoming. You definitely are your momma's son. I can only imagine how proud she is of you. Jenicka same for you girl! Such a strong young lady with all you've been dealt. ❤️ You are your momma's twin and heart. I wish I could meet y'all one day! Seriously. I would give y'all the biggest hug! Whoever thinks you ALL are ungrateful then they definitely don't know Jenni! Jenni don't raise no fool. Your momma would've kicked y'all's 🍑 if you were ungrateful. True fans know that!
I just love how down to earth and normal they are. They are so humble, always have been unlike others in the public eye.. Seeing Jenicka with her blanket and stripped socks made me feel like I was right there with them in the sala lol …Absolutely love your podcast. Thank you Johnny and Jenicka for being so vulnerable with us. God bless and protect you all always. ❤
I lost my mother 2 years ago unexpectedly. And yes I agree it has been very hard coping with the fact that I no longer have her. You guys are very strong
When jenika said. “We lost her because she was an artist.” That hurt because I think that about Selena too. If they were normal people there is a possibility they’d still be alive. But us the real fans; would have never known about them. A💔Uffff 😢
God says that your truth will set you free. Jenicka, you sharing your truth also set free your Dad from all those misconceptions. God bless Juan Lopez and the man he was. Sending a big hug to you both ❤
I was young when your mom passed. I never listened to her music. never followed her show. id know of her from Gordo y la Flaca with all the drama. but when she passed I cried. I felt for you guys. I felt for her. I felt for her relationship with your sister. it hit me that death can get anyone. no one is untouchable. prayers to you guys.
I’m 69 years old and loved your mom and I love your Tio lupillo and I’m loving your podcast I’m learning from you. You were blessed to have such wonderful parents
I think u guys are very strong kids especially Johnny being so small when everything happened. I know I don’t know him but I did see a big change in him & I’m glad he found God I truly agree with Jenicka having God in your life truly halps. IDK what Id do without him. I see so many really lost people because they don’t have God in their lives 😞
Love you johnny and jecnika it's hard to forget I lost my dad the dec 2012 my brother on dec 2021 there's no words to comfort it's hard.i understand the way you all feel love you.5 .
I literally got emotional watching this knots in my throat but I felt so relaxed watching you! I love you for this💖🫶🏼 I really love how open you guys are and I love it more it’s coming from the source it’s self can’t wait for Thursday! #BigestFan 🤞🏼
I relate to these siblings so much because I lost both my parents in a span of 10 years . My mom died on our plane ride from El Salvador 🇸🇻. So I totally understand Jenicka getting anxiety on the plane . May God comfort them always

I did the same when losing my grandfather that was like my father.

Grief never leaves, we learn how to live with it, but it always hurts😢

When jenica said "because she was the artist she died" that was deep 😔
Powerful when she spoke that.
Just this podcast itself proves how strong and how beautiful you guys grew up to be. Your mom was always so proud and strong on defending her kids, and now i see why because all of you 5 are amazing kids
I freaking love her... She sounds so mature and soft spoken.... His words are super nice and kind when talking about his sister.
I loved how Johnny pointed out his father’s great heart❤ in raising his princess as if she was his own.

You guys have been through so much yet you keep pushing forward 🙏 respects for that because I'm 34 and when I lost my favorite person I felt like I went down the drain 🥺
Jonny has an old soul to come to that realization about his life balancing out. He's stronger and wiser for his his age. God bless all the Rivera's
I hope you interview all your siblings before anyone else 🥰 I love when you guys open up because you guys are so sincere and just human, y’all don’t try to act like your life’s are perfect. May God Always bless your family
You can see the pain in there eyes and see them holding back tears.. and im over here crying my heart out
Johnny is so well spoken like he is just so observant and it so understanding and very open minded it’s crazy like all he went through ❤️

Love seeing this adult side of you both. In your mom’s reality you both were kids. Love how mature and so humble you both are. Best wishes ❤

After watching Mariposa de Barrio i always cried for you both I would wonder how you all coped with losing your dad and then your mom I’m so glad you all are opening up about topics like this one ❤❤THANK YOU BOTH!!!! God bless you always!
I was the same, I don’t like people to say sorry because what do you reply to that ‘it’s okay’ no you can’t, but I then realized “Sorry” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s their fault, sorry in those times mean ‘ they are sorry you have to go through the that loss, that pain, that experience. But I agree the best thing to do is just say ‘I am here for you’ or a simple hug makes a big difference.
I lost my mom a year and a half ago and my step dad a month ago which he was like my dad and I don’t see the end of a túnel … I appreciate what you guys talked about because it give me hope that one day this horrible feeling will be lighter . Thank you for opening this podcast
Video hasn’t started, me: “You better not cry you better not cry..” video starts… “I swear I’m not crying…” 😢
I love the strength you guys have and as a family, you 5 were a puzzle your mom created to complete each other❤
I've been your mothers' follower since the beginning so i watched you guys grow ..i love all you guys believe me but i feel Mike and johnny so much more i don't know why but just want to say i admire the strength you guys have i cross my fingers 1 day i get to meet with you guys all my love and support always.
Seeing these two together and how big they’ve gotten makes me so happy sad cause their mom should be here to see them grow 😢
Such beautiful kids who have been through so many unimaginable painful situations and seem to be coming out on the other end. God bless them and protect them
i remember being 9yrs old when ur mom passed. i think about u guys all the time since then. I love u guys so much
I’m only 1:00 in and I’m watching to hope to learn something and to hear from someone who I can relate to. I lost my mother at 24 and going to be 26 in a couple months. I’ve recently been trying to go to church, pray, and talk to who I believe in. It breaks my heart and makes me wanna cry knowing how young I am and how long of my life I have to go without her, my best friend, my everything. I feel so much emotion between sadness, anger, & frustration. I took 4 months off of work trying to grieve untill I realized I’m digging myself into depression. It’s one of those things “get up and fight or let it fight and beat you” …. Prayers to everyone grieving and don’t know how to take it. Take it easy, easy on yourself, and give yourself time💓
Woah the strength in this. “Get up and fight or let it fight and beat you”. It’s where I am at too, I’ve been off off work almost 4 months as well and had been sleeping all the time but now I am making myself get up earlier and do things, and am about to go back to work life. I feel bad being able to get up and do things since my dad is gone and was so sick before, but I know I’ll heal in time.
Wow if this isn’t me im 24 and I lost my mother almost 8 months ago I’m shocked because I feel what you feel word from word so sorry for your loss I get it I really do💔
@@DesireeJ007 don’t feel bad for doing the things you have to do girl🤍 because at the end of the day you gotta do it for yourself and it’s what she would want to see you do anyway. Sending love and light to you. Happy New Year💫
@@rafascrofa and i get you too girl! It’s hard not to feel lost and alone but just remember she’s still with you jus in a different place. I say that because I still talk to mine and have had dreams of her talking back to me🤍 sending prayers of comfort to you.
This episode hit close to home, I lost my mom a yr after y’all lost your mom. I think the hardest part for me is my children not knowing grandma. I just had a good cry. It’s been 9yrs but the holidays are definitely a hard time for us.
Great video jenicka! You had me choking up and even self reflecting on some of the things you guys talked about! I love how open you are with this podcast and I’m looking forward to hearing more ! Thank you Linda and thanks Johnny for opening up and showing us that side🤍🤍
Lost my mom 3 years ago. Struggling with grief so much as I’m entering adulthood it’s so much
Love the part about ppl you’ve hurt while grieving it’s really easy to hurt ppl when grieving
Hope you’re well and have a good New Year
I’m so proud of the woman you are today. You did that. Love you ❤ I admire your strength
The complexity of being human is intense, but like y’all said…we have to find ways to keep pushing forward. Therapy, religion, talking things out, and meditation. Always remember, you guys are imperfect, live life as any human, and make mistakes. I admire yalls vulnerability. You guys are pushing me to continue to work on me for my happiness. Admire yalls mistakes, imperfection, and drive to continue to work on yourself!
Love how real and vulnerable you and your siblings are with the world!! Keep being amazing 👏🏼👏🏼 you’re definitely helping a lot of ppl!
Love you guys!
My dad died when I was 7 years old. And i said this a few days ago “ if my dad would of died now at 32 I would of not been able to handle it” and when they pass away young you get to deal with it a bit better
Thank you both for being so vulnerable!
As a only child I’m scared of being alone I already lost my father 2 years ago so the thought of losing my mom and being alone scares me so much!
This podcast came at a great time. I just lost my sister a few weeks ago and the heartache is one I can not put into words. I’m glad to know that all of these different emotions I am feeling are a normal part of the grieving process. I feel like our world has been torn apart.💔
I lost my little sister in 2021, I know your pain 😔
you guys are so strong ! we love you guys!! you guys maybe don’t realize how much support you guys have from the public. jenni did good raising her kids ! you guys are good hearted
How beautiful, your parents would be so proud of how much you both have grown up , momma prepared you ♥️. Thank you for sharing , your strength and grows shows ! Happy New Year to you all , you deserve some peace love n happiness after all you have gone thru ♥️
Thanks for this! I lost my brother and my other siblings and I all grieve differently. It’s def been hard to understand each other. But this is so important to me to be able to understand my nieces grief from losing my brother (her dad). God bless you all! ❤
Jenika your aura makes me feel calm and makes me feel better pretty much relaxed
My siblings and I are also a part of the “no parent club” that no one at a young age should be a part of 💔 thanks for speaking on such a relateable topic to many!
Johnny brought up something important about a child in grief. As an adult, we want to rescue/shield children from pain and rush to therapy (if ppl can afford it/have access). It’s a lot more healing allowing the child to grieve without pushing therapy right away. There’s a lot that is happening around them that adding one more thing (therapy) can be overwhelming, and they may not be ready to open up to a stranger. Loving this podcast. And Jenicka is wise and mature beyond her years ❤
More videos with Johnny he is so awesome I love his vibe.
I lost my husband in 2012 , months before your mom passed away. My daughter had it very hard like me. I went to therapy on my own and with her. Later , I remarried, and it became a DV relationship, I put myself and my family in danger. I feel a strong connection with your family. I have been through many episodes like your mother, which I always admire her for. ❤️ stay strong Riveras , and may God bless you all.
Thank you Jenicka and Johnny for sharing! I really appreciate your vulnerability and this conversations. Grief is such a enormity of emotions and you both had to cope at such at young age. I am so sorry you had to go though that. I am definitely a fan of your podcast, Jenicka (as well as Chiquis’s podcast!). I am excited to follow along on this channel and see upcoming guests. The one feedback I personally have for this one episode in particular is that I would have appreciated hearing Jenicka’s full response to the questions. I felt like Johnny would interrupt while Jenicka was answering a few of the questions. Just something I noticed and thought it would be helpful for upcoming episodes. Again, I appreciate you both for your vulnerability. I know that isn’t easy, so thank you!
I love you Jenika you are an inspiration to many women. I admire the love you all have with each other as siblings.
I never noticed how much Johnny looks like his dad until now. He looks so much like him in this video. Great video guys!
Grieving is a hard thing to even go through. So cheers to both ! for sticking together as a family and not letting others get between you guys!!
Jenikca your a natural. This was a great podcast, love the question and especially sincere answers.
I love this episode . My mom past away September 9th 2012 and she was also a big Jenni Rivera fan . Single mother . And this episode helped me and also made me cry 🦋🤍👼🏼
You have such a soothing voice. I really appreciate your podcast.
I totally see how Johnny has matured!! He talks about a lot of interesting things we would like to here more about!! 🙏🏽 god bless y’all 💕
When Johnny said that about pushing people away, I felt that. I pushed very important people away during the difficult time when I lost my mom. And now I regret it, 6 yrs later.
I was 40 years old when I lost my dad and 47 when I lost my mom. My dad passed 17 years and my mom 11 years. I just can't imagine loosing them at that young age. God bless you and your siblings.
I love this. I lost my dad in 2010 and to this day it still hurts. As i get older and achieve dreams theres always someone missing, but i love the little reminders and scents thst come my way to show they are still with us just not physically. ❤ thanks for opening your hearts and sharing.
This is beautiful ❤️ johnny I am so proud of you dude. It's crazy what you went through at such a young age and yes just like anyone else, you've had your moments and dark times but look at how much you have overcome and are overcoming. You definitely are your momma's son. I can only imagine how proud she is of you. Jenicka same for you girl! Such a strong young lady with all you've been dealt. ❤️ You are your momma's twin and heart. I wish I could meet y'all one day! Seriously. I would give y'all the biggest hug! Whoever thinks you ALL are ungrateful then they definitely don't know Jenni! Jenni don't raise no fool. Your momma would've kicked y'all's 🍑 if you were ungrateful. True fans know that!
I just love how down to earth and normal they are. They are so humble, always have been unlike others in the public eye.. Seeing Jenicka with her blanket and stripped socks made me feel like I was right there with them in the sala lol …Absolutely love your podcast. Thank you Johnny and Jenicka for being so vulnerable with us. God bless and protect you all always. ❤
You guys are amazing people I love you and your siblings! Chiquis did a damn good job keeping you guys together and on track. ❤
I lost my mother 2 years ago unexpectedly. And yes I agree it has been very hard coping with the fact that I no longer have her. You guys are very strong
I recently lost my mom and I ask myself all the time will/ does it ever get easier?
When jenika said. “We lost her because she was an artist.” That hurt because I think that about Selena too. If they were normal people there is a possibility they’d still be alive. But us the real fans; would have never known about them. A💔Uffff 😢
Just came across your podcast and I LOVE it!!! Thankyou for showing your wisdom, beauty and vulnerability
God says that your truth will set you free. Jenicka, you sharing your truth also set free your Dad from all those misconceptions. God bless Juan Lopez and the man he was. Sending a big hug to you both ❤
I was young when your mom passed. I never listened to her music. never followed her show. id know of her from Gordo y la Flaca with all the drama. but when she passed I cried. I felt for you guys. I felt for her. I felt for her relationship with your sister. it hit me that death can get anyone. no one is untouchable. prayers to you guys.
I’m 69 years old and loved your mom and I love your Tio lupillo and I’m loving your podcast I’m learning from you. You were blessed to have such wonderful parents
Y’all talking about this is part of His plan, thank you so much for doing it. It has helped me 💜
I think u guys are very strong kids especially Johnny being so small when everything happened. I know I don’t know him but I did see a big change in him & I’m glad he found God I truly agree with Jenicka having God in your life truly halps. IDK what Id do without him. I see so many really lost people because they don’t have God in their lives 😞
It’s really great that you’ve opened up and let people see and hear you and where you come from.
you made me cry! thank you for your story. God Bless you and your siblings.
You guys are amazing ! Johnny you a gentle soul. My love and respect to all of The Divas kids. All of you are amazing!
Love you johnny and jecnika it's hard to forget I lost my dad the dec 2012 my brother on dec 2021 there's no words to comfort it's hard.i understand the way you all feel love you.5 .

I relate to these siblings so much because I lost both my parents in a span of 10 years . My mom died on our plane ride from El Salvador 🇸🇻. So I totally understand Jenicka getting anxiety on the plane . May God comfort them always
Never been more excited for someone to post a video ☺️❤️
I love you guys so much!! Pls don’t ever stop. Y’all will top the Kards
You both are so strong! Your mom is so proud
I have always admired Johnny and related a lot to him. Love this podcast ♥️
