Nadya Suleman & Suze Orman on Oprah

Nadya Suleman visited Oprah for the second time around and this time it was to ask for financial help to keep herself and her fourteen children off of the street. Nadya insisted to Oprah that she was both "financially destitute" and "emotionally depleted."

Oprah arranged for Nadya to meet with Suze Orman to help with her financial crisis. Although Orman seemed to have been reluctant to work with Nadya at first, she did step in and help the single mother of fourteen. Orman probably gave Nadya the best advice there could ever possibly be; to pray and let go of her pride. She told Nadya to stop refusing to get an agent. She has to support those children. Nadya was very much concerned with how people would depict her if she hired an agent or accepted government funded help. She even said she thought people would hate her. Suze's response was; "Everybody thinks you’re crazy for having eight kids. You know it"

After that, Orman pretty much told the single mama to forget what people are or will say, and do what she has to do for those children. Suleman had Nadya get rid of all her nannies, except one. She had her sell things in her house that she didn't need. Nadya chose to do a yard sale and made $1500.00. She then took a celebrity bartending gig which earned her $1000. in two hours! Nadya hired a literary agent. Which I think is a great idea. I would definitely buy her book.

Another interesting point in the interview was when Nadya bashed herself, calling her past actions stupid. Orman pointed out,

"This isn't about you putting yourself down. This is your day in front of the world to go to the deepest part in yourself, to be honest with why, what and now where do we go? But not to condemn yourself."
This perhaps led to the most shocking parts of the interview. Nadya reveals that she felt something was missing from her life. She was barely making it with the six children she already had. Still, this didn't stop her from trying for more, because she was seeking an unconditional love that only children can give. Nadya admitted to Oprah that she was a "baby addict." She compared it to a drug addiction and told Winfrey,


"I think I could have been self-medicating with children."

Suleman even admits that when she couldn't afford to cover the in vitro with her savings, she borrowed money from friends to fund the procedure.

There were parts of the interview that, in my opinion were a little negative. Like, when Oprah and Orman drilled Nadya about plastic surgery and the porn industry. Those conversations, in my opinion, could have been left out. Also, the constant drilling to get Nadya to admit that she regrets having the octuplets, was not cool. Nadya never says that she regrets any of her children. She does say that if she new then, what she knows now, that she would have made better choices. That's a very normal and human thing to say. I admit it as well. I don't regret any my children. I love them dearly. However, I became a mom at the age of fifteen, and if I could go back and make better choices, I would. Who wouldn't? Overall, it was a great interview with lots of self revelations on Nadya's part.

  1. Good post! I didn't watch the hole show, but I didn't like what I see. This was supposed to be a financial procedure to help Nadya, not a show put her more down that she is right now. The whole say that you regret it didn't have its place in the interview. For screaming at Nadya, Orman lost it all. What a horrible show. I hope Nadya got paid to appear on Oprah. Its not Oprah helping Nadya, its more Nadya helping Oprah getting audience. Several times during the interview, Oprah laugh at Nadya. Did you notice? I didn't like that.

  2. Thanks for commenting.

    I agree with you. I didn't like their behavior and I really do hope that Nadya got paid to do this interview. I thought that both Oprah and Suze were being a little insensitive. I felt a little bad for Nadya, because she went to Oprah for help, not to be scrutinized and ridiculed. I think she handled herself well though.

Nine Easy to use Apps for Small Cash Advances

Photo by Yan Krukov   Cash Advance apps offer people the ability to borrow small amounts of money in the form of cash advances. Some may have additional features, such as credit-building, saving and budgeting tools, and bank accounts. Most require a monthly membership fee and/or service fees that will be deducted from your account at the same time as your advance repayment. You will need to have a bank account with direct deposit from your employer in order to use these apps. Here is a list of nine, no hassle, Cash Advance apps you can use to get from pay check to pay check. Before I list them, I want to advise against using these apps unless it is an emergency. These should only be used every once in a while. If you are having problems getting from paycheck to paycheck, there is likely a bigger issue at hand. I recommend going over your income and expenses and watching your spending, or getting a second job. Click here for the budgeting app that I use and how it

How to Cheat without Getting Caught (What I've Learned from Men)

I remember being cheated on. I remember catching him red handed and listening as he denied the whole thing. I remember wondering if the other woman knew he was married. Odds are, she probably did. I didn't understand it and the truth is, I didn't need to. I just needed to remove myself from the situation. My ex was careless in his cheating. After my experience I began watching how men & women cheat. Cousins, friends, co-workers - it seems that everyone has a "Sneaky Link" or a "Secret Bae." And although the memes would have you thinking otherwise, it's not cute. But still, it's interesting. So here are some of the best tips I've learned on how to cheat without getting caught:  1. Let the person you are cheating with know that you are already married, or in a relationship. Have this conversation with the person from the beginning so they know their role, and so that you can establish boundaries. Be clear that you will not be leaving your spou

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

What to do when you're feeling confused. Photo by Felipe Cespedes Love is not a decision. Love is a feeling. The feeling is either there, or it isn't. You know from the beginning, because you feel it from the beginning. You also know if the feeling is mutual. However, what we do sometimes, is ignore the signs that tell us that despite how we feel about him, he doesn't feel the same way. We then kind of waste our own time believing that there is something there, that simply isn't. The truth is, if he loved you, you would know. There would be no confusion, and no doubt. If you find yourself in a situation where you are doubting where it's going and you're not sure if he's feels the same way about you, I recommend asking him directly, "Where is this going? Do you see us working out long term?" If he is unsure, or does not give you a direct answer, then you know what it is. You need to walk away from that situation. Before I get into why, I want to
