Along with helping her, you also have other kids, and you have your whole career. How do you balance that and make time for everything?

When I signed up to be a momager, I signed up. Anything I sign up for, we don't quit. We don't know how to quit. Anything my kids ever signed up for, and then they [got] in and they didn't like it, I told them, "You can't quit until the season's over. We don't start nothing we don't finish. People are counting on you, and if this is not what you want to do, you don't have to go back after the season's over. But once you sign up, you're going to finish it out." You can't go get a job and say you're quitting without another job. I explain that to them. Life isn't like that. You can't quit. We're not quitters. Knowing that, I think, helps them a lot, that we're not quitters and we're not going to quit anything.

How do you balance your relationship as a momager [versus as] her parent?

I had to learn to separate that. That was a task for me. No lie. I was always like, "Flau'Jae, you need to do this. You haven't done it yet," as her mom instead of going in[to] manager mode. What I started doing was texting her in a manager mode: "Hey, I need you to jump on this. They're hitting me up about this. Please go and fill out these questions for this interview you're on tomorrow. Please, you have a show here. They need to go ahead and have a drop." A drop is when you say, "I'll be at that location, da, da, da, da, da," being excited. And sometimes, she would do it at the last minute. And I was like, "People are paying you. You have to do that right away" when I would go at her in mommy mode versus manager mode. Now, I'll start texting that to her and say, "Thanks, Kia Brooks, momager" or "manager," versus trying the mom attack. I separated those, and I learned that that works better for us.

Do you feel like it's very separate modes you go into?

Yeah. I will be a mom, and I talk to her like a mom, but then when it's manager and business time, it's business. We can't mix the two.
