Where this was said
Self-Love, Parenting, and Her Sister's Question
At 53:10 · chapter starts 52:20
The conversation on self-love deepens. Lopez says she genuinely didn't understand what it meant to love yourself until she had children, because she suddenly saw that whatever she wanted to give them — respect, care, attention — there was no reason not to give it to herself first. Jason offers a hair-growth metaphor: you can't see your own progress because you're with yourself every day. Will brings up how parenting itself generates the feeling — the more love you push out, the more comes back. Lopez then quotes her sister Linda as perhaps the person who said it most plainly: 'When are you gonna be your own keeper?' She took care of her mother, her siblings, her kids, everyone on her team. Nobody was taking care of her.
During a quiet, spotlight-only ballad on tour in Spain, the audience started screaming and laughing. Lopez stayed still and kept singing. Only afterward did she realize a massive bug had slowly crawled from her chest to her neck in front of thousands. She finished the song before reacting.
