1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: You could be a millionaire and be very dumb. 2 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 2: There have been a millionaire since nineteen and I could 3 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 2: tell you then that I had no idea what the 4 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 2: heck I was doing. Coming into a lot of success 5 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,239 Speaker 2: very very young. It sounds like the dream for a 6 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 2: lot of people. For me, it exposed a lot of 7 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 2: things within myself that I needed to work on. 8 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: Everything in my life at that time was perfect. 9 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 2: It was like I had the perfect relationship to most people. 10 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: Me and my family are really close, and then I'm 11 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 2: making a lot of money. 12 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: It was a win in all areas until like the. 13 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: Year of twenty twenty three. God just like he sent 14 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 2: it all crashing down. I want to know what happened 15 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. At that time, I had a 16 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: signals group. People would pay us monthly for us to 17 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: tell them this is what trade we're getting into. 18 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: And we were awesome. We were number one in the world. 19 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 2: But the money had become almost my God in a sense, 20 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: God told me to shut down my business. We had 21 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 2: a team meeting, so I joined the team meeting on 22 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 2: my phone, and I'm looking at three of the most 23 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: like loyal people in the company. Something my spirit just 24 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 2: like told me something. I turned my sister and I 25 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: was like, I think God wants me to fire one, 26 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: two and three, and these are the people that also 27 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: kind of kept the company together. Five days later, I 28 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 2: get back to Dallas and then one. 29 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: Two and three just woke up and left the company. 30 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: And that's when I kind of learned when God wants 31 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: you to move, move, and I wanted to restart. 32 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: I just don't think restarting would be losing everything. 33 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 3: Well, how did it end with the guy? 34 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: The way that I treated him was definitely not the kindest. 35 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 4: You're trying to encourage him, but you're masculating him in 36 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 4: the process. 37 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: Yes, he gets his money up. I just start noticing 38 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: I don't know if he's not responding as fast. 39 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: He's dry and like, what is this? 40 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: I tell him, I know we always talk about work, 41 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: but I want us to talk about like our relationship, 42 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: and he was like, we're not even in a relationship. 43 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 4: That's how you said it. 44 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, like irritated through the relationship. It was a bit 45 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 2: rocky because I never felt that confirmation. I was like 46 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: love bombed into the relationship of like, God told me 47 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 2: you're my wife, and guys love to pull that God 48 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: told me no. If God did not confirm it with 49 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: both of us. 50 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: That's not a thing. 51 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 5: What did, if anything, that relationship teach you about femininity 52 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 5: and masculinity, and then how you might show up in 53 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 5: your relationship. 54 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: I love the girlies.

I just remember when. 160 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: She was like, oh my god, like that like, I 161 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: actually started using it with like friends. 162 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 4: To witness shout out to. 163 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: But yeah, I think like for me, I noticed coming 164 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: into a lot of success very very young. It sounds 165 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 2: like the dream for a lot of people. For me, 166 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 2: it exposed a lot of things within myself that I 167 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: needed to work on. And I also think there is 168 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: an arrogance that comes with making a lot of money, 169 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: especially quickly, and an entitlement. And I started realizing that 170 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: I was having kind of this oh, I know everything 171 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 2: and everything because everything in my life at that time 172 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: was perfect. It was like I had the perfect relationship 173 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: to most people. I had like the perfect familiar because 174 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 2: me and my family are really close. And then I'm 175 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: making a lot of money, so it was just like 176 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: it was a win in all areas until there was 177 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: like the year of twenty twenty three. God just like 178 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: he sent it all crashing down, which I loved and do. 179 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 4: A why happened? Are you talking about hindsight been twenty twenty. 180 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: You love hindsight? Mean? 181 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 4: Mom? 182 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: I No, I did not love it. 183 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: But I think for me, I realized, like, well, the 184 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 2: Bible says if you seek for wisdom, you should ask 185 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: God for it, and he'll give it to you, And 186 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: so I wanted to be intentional about There's a lot 187 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: I need to work on. There's a lot of ways 188 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 2: I need to mature. I also want to be in 189 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 2: person who I don't see age as a thing because 190 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: that used to be my thing. I'm nineteen years old 191 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 2: and I do that. It's like whether I am twenty 192 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 2: four or I am thirty four, or I'm speaking of 193 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 2: an individual it's fifty four. I don't want age to 194 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: ever be the defining factor of someone's wisdom, and so 195 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 2: I had to develop a lot of wisdom and discernment. 196 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 2: And I didn't want to come back to the internet 197 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: or just online until I knew that that was something 198 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 2: I really worked on. So even like last year in 199 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, I went on like a three day, 200 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 2: seventy seven hour Jesus retreat where I just it was 201 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: just me and him, no social media. And then after 202 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 2: that I took a six month social media break because 203 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 2: I was like, I just need time for me and him, 204 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: and then whenever I come back, it's me because I 205 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 2: didn't want to get caught up in numbers. I actually 206 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 2: don't like like people ask me, like, you know, how 207 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 2: many views do I get? How many followers do they 208 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: celebrate it? And for me, I'm like, but I'm not 209 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 2: here for the numbers, Like I'm just God gave me 210 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: a platform and I'm here to do with that to 211 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: serve the purpose. But it's easy for that stuff to 212 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: get to your head. But this year, I am back 213 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 2: and I think I'm finally in the point where I've 214 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 2: matured and had that growth and I'm still maturing every day. 215 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: Is I'm sure we all are, But yeah, I wanted 216 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 2: to be more intentional with that movie. 217 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 5: I want to know what happened in twenty twenty three? 218 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I said, what was that pivotal moment that 219 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 4: changed everything? 220 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: So I think it was. 221 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 2: There were two things that happened, which was one, God 222 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: told me to shut down my business. And like on 223 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 2: the Anthony Oneo podcast, people thought I was lying because 224 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 2: I was like, God told me to drop out of 225 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: school and they were like, people. 226 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: Just say that, and I'm like, no, no, no, Like that's 227 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: a story in itself. 228 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: But he told me to shut down the business and 229 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: I knew that it was coming. And to give you 230 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: the short story of how that happened is since March 231 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three, I just knew, like I need 232 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 2: to shut down this company. I don't know why. It 233 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 2: was like a weird form of retirement. I kept feeling 234 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: like spiritually, but obviously we were making like the most 235 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: money ever, so like why would I do that? 236 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 4: And then we'll tell people, people that may not be 237 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 4: familiar with your word, Yeah, what were you doing? 238 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 2: So I had at that time, I had a signals group, 239 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: so it was like basically people would pay us monthly 240 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 2: for us to tell them this is what trade we're 241 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 2: getting into. 242 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: And we were awesome. 243 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: We were number one in the world and like globally ranked, 244 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 2: and it was awesome and we did very well. But 245 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: I didn't feel fulfilled. Because it's a story that connects itself. 246 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 2: But in twenty twenty, when I was in college and 247 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 2: I was dead broke, I prayed to God and I 248 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: was like, all my life I've been chasing the money, 249 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: Allow me to chase the education instead, because like I 250 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 2: resold everything from jewelry to shoes to Popeye chicken sandwiches. 251 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: It didn't matter like that was me so did they 252 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: were a little girl, Yeah, since I was little. 253 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 4: I just had that like the entrepreneurial spirit. 254 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: Yes, And so in twenty twenty three, I realized that 255 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 2: once again, it was like the money had become almost 256 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 2: my god in a sense where like I didn't spend 257 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 2: a lot of money on myself, I spent on other people. 258 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: But the fact that I made it made me, like 259 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 2: I said, the entitlement factor, and so I just kept 260 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: feeling like we needed to shut it down. But I 261 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: remember it was September sixth or September fifth, twenty twenty three, 262 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 2: and I was in La and I was heading to 263 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: an event that I'd gotten invited to and we had 264 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 2: a team meeting. So I joined the team meeting on 265 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 2: my phone, and you know, I'm just sitting there and 266 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 2: I'm looking at three of the most like loyal people 267 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: in the company, and I'm like, I don't know. 268 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: Something.

I just something told me, and 273 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: these are the people that also kind of kept the 274 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 2: company together. And then five days later I get back 275 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: to Dallas and I just wake up the next morning 276 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: of landing back, and then one, two, and three just 277 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 2: woke up and left the company just then. 278 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 4: I get cha the fire. 279 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 2: No, I mean I didn't even fully know if I 280 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 2: should have, but yeah, it's like, wow, that's when I 281 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: kind of learned when God wants you to move, he's 282 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: going to remove. Like there's been come a point where 283 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 2: like if he needs you to do something for somebody 284 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 2: else and you are now prohibiting your own ability to 285 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: do that, he's going to remove you.

And I was just like throwing money. It's 302 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 2: because like when money is coming. 303 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 4: In, so the value gets lost tomorrow boom. 304 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 2: But yeah, he asked for more and I was like, 305 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: I'm not going to do that.

So with the guy of before she tells the 342 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: story man, So basically, you have me to tell it 343 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: how I told you? 344 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, tell me how you told us at the ice cream. 345 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 2: Okay, So Boom, what happened with me and him was 346 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 2: there was he was going through it like he was 347 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 2: he was struggling, but like he was also just a 348 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: college student, like we were both twenty nineteen twenty at 349 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 2: the time, so I don't expect him to be doing 350 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 2: what I'm doing at the time, but he wasn't even 351 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 2: I guess, remotely close to that. 352 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: And so I basically hired him and he was working 353 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: for me. 354 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 2: And I actually even never said this before, so hopefully 355 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: people don't connect the dots. But anyways, he was working 356 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: for me, and then basically he started to get money again, 357 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 2: he started to get back on his feed, he started 358 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: spending the money, and then I guess there is maybe 359 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: an ego change that happens for him where it's like, no, 360 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 2: this girl, like she put me down because and we'll 361 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 2: probably get into this within the conversation, but a lot 362 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 2: of what I learned as Wall was like the way 363 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 2: that I treated him was definitely not the kindest, and 364 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: I think that was just from again the entitlement thing. 365 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 2: I also can't fully remember it because like I had 366 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 2: a very spiritual experience with God where I felt that 367 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 2: leave me, like it was like a deep I was 368 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 2: like in a deep moment of prayer when I was 369 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 2: like I have to get rid of this, and whenever 370 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 2: whatever that was left, I like lost all memory. So 371 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: I can recall through stories, but I can't. It's just 372 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 2: not who I am anymore. So, yeah, I wasn't always 373 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 2: the kindest to him. I would push him, but like 374 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 2: like push him and be better, do better, But I don't. 375 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 4: You would talk to him poorly. You masculate him while 376 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 4: you're you're trying to encourage him, but you're masculating him 377 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 4: in the process. 378 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: Yes, And I think a lot of people they're like, well, 379 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 2: that wasn't my intention, But I think they need to 380 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 2: look at your reception or the reception of the other person. 381 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 2: So whenever you were saying something, how is it being received, 382 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 2: Because if you're saying it in a condescending manner, then 383 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 2: they're not going to take it as this uplifting, motivational seminar. 384 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: You're trying to give them the seminar. 385 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: But yeah, So anyways, so he gets his money up, 386 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 2: he starts buying designer and like spending frivolously. I'm like, 387 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,479 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, like how much do you have, like 388 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,239 Speaker 2: cause I know what I'm making you. Yeah, but he 389 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 2: also is trading it, so he's taking the money I'm 390 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 2: paying him in trading, so I think he's making more. 391 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 2: And then he's like he's gonna buy a car. So 392 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 2: then my dad helps him source a car and it 393 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 2: was nice. It was a nice Alexis, Oh my gosh, 394 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 2: that car was nice as a first car insane, but yeah, 395 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 2: So then he goes to the dealership he buys the car. 396 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: I'm like negotiating with the dealership for him because they're 397 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 2: trying to treat him like he doesn't know what he's doing. 398 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 2: So I'm like pretending to be his fiance her wife, 399 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 2: I don't even remember, but I'm like, first of all, 400 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 2: when I was looking at the actual numbers, none of 401 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 2: that made sense. So if you're gonna be doing this, 402 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 2: we're not gonna work with you at all. We can 403 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 2: go to any dealership. 404 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: What makes this go? Like That's how I was. 405 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: And he was like, oh my gosh, I'm going to 406 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 2: marry you, like and I was like, yeah, I know. 407 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: But. 408 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, And so I was negotiating for him. He got 409 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,959 Speaker 2: the car. And then after he bought the car, he 410 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 2: drove to my parents' house. My dad's whole family prays 411 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: over the car and they're like blessing it and all 412 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 2: that because we've like watched his growth. And then after. 413 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 4: That long at this time, two years, how long were 414 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 4: y'all dating. 415 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 2: This is like a year and a half, a year 416 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: and a half, and then we after he leaves, he 417 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 2: goes back home. 418 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: So he doesn't live in Dallas. He lives in another area, 419 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: and so. 420 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: He goes back home, and I just start noticing he's 421 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: a little off and like he's just I don't know, 422 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 2: he's not responding as fast, he's dry, and like what 423 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,719 Speaker 2: is this? And so I remember, like I I tell him, 424 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, you know, I know we always talk 425 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 2: about work, but I want us to talk about like 426 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: our relationship. And he was like, we're not even in 427 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: a relationship. And I was like that's how, yeah, like irritated, 428 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm I'm pretty you know, like 429 00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: I'm this. 430 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: I don't really know what to say. 431 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 2: At this point, I feel like the dynamic has shifted 432 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 2: because I think I was back then. 433 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: What's the word I'm looking for? 434 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 2: But I was showcasing a lot of like narcissistic traits 435 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 2: and he was more on the codependent side. Went through 436 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 2: a lot of therapy as well, And my therapists always 437 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 2: tell me, what, Kelly, you can't narcissists. 438 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: Don't know they're narcissistic.

The group, Okay, but 656 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 5: the group is like it was it accidentally turned into 657 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 5: a business because it just the first TikTok I made 658 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 5: blew up. 659 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 4: Got seven thousand, You got seven thousand people joined the group. 660 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: Exactly, Oh you did, So I had to.

Yeah, yeah, boom, And 665 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 4: you had your Robinhood account that had fifty dollars and then. 666 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I love this. This is like an 667 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 2: example of what every. 668 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: Single host should be done. 669 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 2: I see some people, I'm like, you just wanted to 670 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 2: use mic like it's okay, but anyways, No, yes, that's 671 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 2: that's what happened. My bank account was negative. That's when 672 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 2: I did the prayer to God. 673 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 4: But I didn't know you were still staying at home 674 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 4: with your parents and then why you were making money. 675 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 4: I just assumed as soon as you start making money 676 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 4: you got in your own place. I didn't know you 677 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 4: were just still staying at home making all this money 678 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 4: and living like that. 679 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just yeah, I don't even like to me, 680 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 2: I guess I didn't really think of moving out, or 681 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 2: maybe I was afraid to move out because even when 682 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 2: I moved out, it took my parents a while to 683 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 2: adapt to that idea because I'm the youngest daughter. But 684 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 2: then also like I was the first that would have 685 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 2: moved out of the house. 686 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 4: Is it typically in your culture, because you're Nigerian, that 687 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 4: the preferred way is to move out once you get married. 688 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 2: Yes, that is a preferred way, and I think a 689 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 2: lot of people. It was a conversation I was having 690 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 2: someone yesterday that I think a lot of people try 691 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 2: and force maturity, and they're forcing a maturity is either 692 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: moving out the house per marriage or just getting married 693 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 2: really early because they're afraid to actually have the difficult 694 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 2: conversations with their parents and talk to their parents and 695 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 2: like stand up for themselves. And so their thing is, oh, 696 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 2: if I if I get married, then that'll finally let 697 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 2: them see me as an adult. If I get a 698 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 2: good job and move out, that'll let them see me 699 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 2: as an adult. But it's like, I don't believe an 700 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 2: adult is a way of age. I think it's a 701 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 2: way of being and if you're maturity level, because I've 702 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 2: met some guys that are like thirty eight and I'm like, dang, 703 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 2: I think you were like child, you're like the way 704 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 2: you think. But yeah, I think that a lot of people. 705 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: That's yeah. 706 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 2: And I me and my parents have a very healthy 707 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 2: relationship growing up. They were very strict, so that wasn't 708 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: always fun. But my dad would always tell me like, 709 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 2: the world is not your friend, and I think that's 710 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 2: what made me like really value discernment and not. 711 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: Trusting people as easily. And my mom always says that, 712 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: like she. 713 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 2: Said, I trust nobody, not even myself, And I'm like, 714 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 2: I just think that's a little dramatic, but I get you. 715 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 4: I would you trust myself, don't trust nobody, not even yourself. 716 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 2: Like Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna walk every single day. 717 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 2: And by day three she hasn't gone her walk.

I 888 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 2: was still playing games, like he got a girlfriend. But 889 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 2: then he asked my trainer if they could play chess 890 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 2: at my apartment. But he doesn't live at my apartment, 891 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,720 Speaker 2: so they're just playing chess, and I'm just understanding, like okay, 892 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 2: Like I don't like these games.

I had, like my security at the time. 900 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 2: My security was like he was actually very physically disturbed 901 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 2: because he was like, I've never heard a man talk 902 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 2: to a woman like that. I would never let a 903 00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 2: man talk to my mother like that. I'd never let 904 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 2: a man talk to my daughter like that.

You upgrade his life and upgraded his confidence. 919 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:48,800 Speaker 4: It's interesting because and one on one side, you upgraded 920 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,879 Speaker 4: his confidence on the level of acquiring finances, but then 921 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 4: you also admit that you tore him down emotionally in 922 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,840 Speaker 4: the process of it.

Which is interesting 927 00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 4: because that's what leads to this red pill community that 928 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,279 Speaker 4: we have.

He was like, if 985 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 2: you're giving me this, you think we're gonna like celebrate 986 00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 2: something one day. 987 00:45:58,200 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 1: It's never happening. 988 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 4: He said that, and then you know. 989 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,879 Speaker 1: Me, I was like, Oh, I don't want to look 990 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,359 Speaker 1: like that's what I thought. So I was like, oh, 991 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: you can give it, like. 992 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,880 Speaker 4: If you think we just look, that's never going to happen. 993 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,280 Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm just ga because I didn't want it around. 994 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 4: I don't dream that's reason why I gave for you. 995 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 5: Do you think that because you gave him so much 996 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,120 Speaker 5: that now I mean, and I know we'll talk about 997 00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,839 Speaker 5: this you're dating now, do you think that that will 998 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 5: affect the way that because it sounds like you were 999 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,239 Speaker 5: a giver, do you think that will affect the way 1000 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 5: you'll show up in your next relationship? 1001 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,719 Speaker 2: I think, like, so, I don't want to be the 1002 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,319 Speaker 2: person that gets hurt once and then they let that 1003 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 2: affect them and I am just naturally a giver. So 1004 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 2: that's where I felt like one my discernment had to increase. 1005 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 2: But I also think a conversation that isn't ever being 1006 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 2: had online when it comes to strong. 1007 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,399 Speaker 1: Woman who need to make a lot of money and like. 1008 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 2: You don't need them in is is that arrogance that 1009 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 2: gets built, you know? And so when men say like, oh, 1010 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 2: we don't care about a woman's money, we care about 1011 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,160 Speaker 2: it's because of the way she acts when she has that. 1012 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 2: Girls don't understand that it's a real thing. So I 1013 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 2: still want to because I run the company. I'm like, 1014 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 2: this super dominant presence online in my relationship now is 1015 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 2: the last place I want to be that. So I 1016 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 2: still want to be feminine. I still want a man 1017 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,919 Speaker 2: who still leads the household and he takes care of things. 1018 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,800 Speaker 2: And like, you know, I think people have this conversation 1019 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 2: about like fifty to fifty or like should a man 1020 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,439 Speaker 2: pay for everything? Or and me like, obviously I would 1021 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,800 Speaker 2: want my man to primarily take care of the household, 1022 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,400 Speaker 2: but I also wonder what it is primarily me. 1023 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, do you want him to pay pay all the 1024 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:48,960 Speaker 4: bills with his money? 1025 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 1: Yes? But here's here's the thing. 1026 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,800 Speaker 2: And like my opinion on relationship changes every three to 1027 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,720 Speaker 2: five business dates. 1028 00:47:54,600 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 1: God, that's there. It's an evolution. Yeah, it's an evolution. 1029 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,319 Speaker 2: But I think what I've what I found out is like, 1030 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 2: I don't think Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were like, Kanye, 1031 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 2: you pay all the bills and I just keep my 1032 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,800 Speaker 2: money for myself and the like. So I would hope 1033 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 2: if we're having these conversations surrounding building an empire in 1034 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,280 Speaker 2: generational wealth, yeah, I don't even think fifty to fifty 1035 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,879 Speaker 2: or it's just like, if we have money and there's 1036 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 2: something needs to be taken care of, it just gets paid. 1037 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 1: And if that's. 1038 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,959 Speaker 2: Primarily his money, then it's primarily his. But I'm also 1039 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 2: not going to be like, oh yeah, let me hoard 1040 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 2: my money. Like it's just when you really think about it, dumb. 1041 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 2: Because if we push the vibe of women should make 1042 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,359 Speaker 2: their own money so a man doesn't need to take 1043 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 2: care of them. 1044 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. 1045 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 2: So I'm like, you get to this point where I 1046 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,279 Speaker 2: don't think you guys have actually thought this far. If 1047 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,320 Speaker 2: a man's making a lot of money and a woman's 1048 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,720 Speaker 2: making a lot of money, he just pays for everything 1049 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 2: and she hoards hers, I don't know. 1050 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,520 Speaker 4: So so we were talking about that about how like 1051 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,720 Speaker 4: that the conversations online when you talk to real married people. 1052 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,439 Speaker 4: They don't have that conversation, Like it don't make sense 1053 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 4: because it's like, could you say that, It's like saying 1054 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,400 Speaker 4: you get a woman. They both make one hundred thousand 1055 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,280 Speaker 4: dollars a year, they both one hundred thousand, even nobody 1056 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,680 Speaker 4: makes a dollar more or whatever. Then the man says, 1057 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,240 Speaker 4: this is what women are saying online. So he uses 1058 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 4: all his hundred thousand dollars to pay for the bills 1059 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 4: and everything else, and she just keeps her hundred thousand 1060 00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 4: like it just keep She gets to do what go 1061 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,560 Speaker 4: shopping with hers and don't buy a little stuff. And 1062 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 4: then now she got she get to save. Chase spent 1063 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 4: twenty thousand dollars a year. Now she got eighty thousand. 1064 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:44,960 Speaker 4: Now she got none other one hundred and sixty. She 1065 00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 4: get to save all this money. His money just going 1066 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,319 Speaker 4: out the door. So then it makes it even make 1067 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 4: more sense. While it be so easy for that woman 1068 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,359 Speaker 4: to leave that man because she like, I got five 1069 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 4: hundred and sixty thousand dollars in account, you have nothing 1070 00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 4: because you don't spend all your money taking care of 1071 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:00,960 Speaker 4: for five to six years. So when she gets ready 1072 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,200 Speaker 4: to leave, she leaves wise because she was taught by 1073 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 4: her mom and her grandma. Make sure you keep some 1074 00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,480 Speaker 4: money off the side that your husband don't know about. 1075 00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,680 Speaker 4: Keep your little nest egg. So when it's time to leave, 1076 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,360 Speaker 4: you can leave and you ain't got to worry about 1077 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,359 Speaker 4: being able to sustain yourself. So then she gets this 1078 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,319 Speaker 4: arrogance that you talk about because she said, I don't 1079 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 4: need no man, Like, if I leave, I be okay 1080 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 4: because I got X amount of money saved up. Yeah. 1081 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,839 Speaker 2: And I think even on the guy's side, when they 1082 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,880 Speaker 2: now meet a woman, even if they're still married, if 1083 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 2: they now meet a woman who's showcasing like I will 1084 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 2: still take care in those areas where his wife is deficients, 1085 00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,239 Speaker 2: letting him pay everything, then he starts to think of 1086 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,160 Speaker 2: a whole other world. Yeah, we're like, maybe I should 1087 00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,560 Speaker 2: leave her, Yeah, because this one don't need I don't 1088 00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:44,840 Speaker 2: need her. 1089 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 1: It's likely. Yeah. 1090 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,120 Speaker 2: But I will tell you a lot of these women 1091 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 2: online and I love I love the girlies. 1092 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 1: I don't want them to like cancel me. 1093 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 4: They won't trust it's a healthy platform. They with you 1094 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:00,759 Speaker 4: on this boom. 1095 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 2: But I think a lot of them that push the 1096 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 2: making money. I'll tell you how the the journey goes, 1097 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,799 Speaker 2: they push like make a lot of money, so the 1098 00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 2: girls will, they'll make a. 1099 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 1: Lot of money online. 1100 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,279 Speaker 2: You know, they have these very dominant, vibrant personalities, so 1101 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,560 Speaker 2: they'll do it. And then what happens is there is 1102 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 2: this sense of because I make a lot of money, 1103 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,439 Speaker 2: I am better than other women that don't. So it'll 1104 00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,759 Speaker 2: be like, oh, well if he wants and I think 1105 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,080 Speaker 2: it's born from some form of insecurity. It usually is 1106 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 2: for most people, include myself, And it's like when it 1107 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,319 Speaker 2: comes to a room of you and other woman, they 1108 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,879 Speaker 2: think my accomplishments, my achievements, my money make me more 1109 00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,879 Speaker 2: appealing to men because he doesn't want a girl who's 1110 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,400 Speaker 2: just gonna need him. But like when we were talking, 1111 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,800 Speaker 2: men do need a woman to need them. They need 1112 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,360 Speaker 2: to fill needing and financially is the way they've always 1113 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 2: been taught. So I think they then go on this 1114 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,640 Speaker 2: road where what happens is they realize, oh, my money 1115 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:02,799 Speaker 2: doesn't attract me to me, it actually repels them. It 1116 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,160 Speaker 2: starts making me avoidable because they're like, oh, she's not 1117 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 2: where I'm at, and I also can't afford her, so 1118 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,840 Speaker 2: they go for other forms of challenges. 1119 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,440 Speaker 5: You feel like a liability. It's like, oh, man, I 1120 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 5: got my bills to pay. Then men start adding up. Well, 1121 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,759 Speaker 5: like if something happens to her, then she's like, can 1122 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,800 Speaker 5: you pay my bills? Well, your bills are one hundred 1123 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:24,920 Speaker 5: thousand dollars a month. 1124 00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,840 Speaker 2: Exactly because you're showcasing, like, oh, I'm buying all these cars. 1125 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,000 Speaker 2: I love this lavish lifestyle. But it's like, at the core, 1126 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,160 Speaker 2: everyone wants companionship. I don't believe there's a world where 1127 00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 2: people genuinely don't want to whether that's through friendships or 1128 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 2: literal romantic relationships. And I actually put a prediction online 1129 00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,959 Speaker 2: once and it was funny, but I was like, you'll 1130 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 2: start to see a lot of content of women who 1131 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,879 Speaker 2: have pushed the make your own money, and they will 1132 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 2: start making relationship content, and it's going to sound like 1133 00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:56,239 Speaker 2: I don't want to need a man. 1134 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:57,439 Speaker 1: I want to build with the man. 1135 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:00,719 Speaker 4: They're gonna lip it. 1136 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:05,440 Speaker 1: They're gonna because what they realize is, oh, I'm not 1137 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:09,799 Speaker 1: the most appealing thing ever because I have this money 1138 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 1: and the success, I actually still need to work on 1139 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 1: myself as a person. 1140 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 2: So they start using their platform to almost fish guys. 1141 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 2: By the way, like I actually don't want your money, Like, 1142 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna help you get more money.

I 1298 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:40,200 Speaker 2: think every everyone that's making the content around like women 1299 01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:44,680 Speaker 2: should make money for themselves, they're usually exhausted because once 1300 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 2: those cameras turn off, they realize that like even though 1301 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,480 Speaker 2: that's the lifestyle they preach, it's not the lifestyle that 1302 01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:54,360 Speaker 2: they want to live full time because it's it's isolating. Yeah, 1303 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,280 Speaker 2: you feel like every girl you talk to you have 1304 01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:58,960 Speaker 2: to like be a mentor to girl. 1305 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,200 Speaker 1: You need a lock in, you need this. 1306 01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,200 Speaker 2: Every guy you talk to you're now coaching him, and 1307 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:08,760 Speaker 2: I think naturally people attract what they like, you know, 1308 01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,160 Speaker 2: when people keep attracting the same person over and over. 1309 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 2: In the book The Human Magnet Syndrome, it talks about that, 1310 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,280 Speaker 2: like in terms of that skill, but people are often 1311 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,040 Speaker 2: attracting their own insecurities. 1312 01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:23,680 Speaker 1: So a woman would tell you. 1313 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,240 Speaker 2: For example, like me, I need a man who's going 1314 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:31,120 Speaker 2: to lead the household. But at the same time, when 1315 01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 2: presented with that, it's probably going to be something that's 1316 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 2: very uncomfortable for me because I'm used to, Like it's 1317 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,520 Speaker 2: natural for me to meet a guy who's like not 1318 01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,320 Speaker 2: as confident, and I can coach him into confidence because 1319 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:44,720 Speaker 2: I'm used to that, but he's probably not going to 1320 01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,760 Speaker 2: be that dominant confident guy. 1321 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,320 Speaker 1: And I was watching have y'all watched Age of Attraction on. 1322 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 4: That Oh we might know the next episode is released. 1323 01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,880 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, we caught up all of it so 1324 01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:56,560 Speaker 4: we can talk. 1325 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:57,280 Speaker 1: Okay, boom. 1326 01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,120 Speaker 2: So I was watching the dynamic with the twenty seven 1327 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,760 Speaker 2: year old in the sixty year old oh yep, and 1328 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:09,320 Speaker 2: the conversation about celibacy, and I remember that, like, okay, 1329 01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,480 Speaker 2: so obviously she's maybe she has her own definition. She's 1330 01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,960 Speaker 2: a bit confused, and so he calls her out on it. 1331 01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,480 Speaker 2: And as soon as he calls her out on it, 1332 01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,480 Speaker 2: first thing she does, but we don't need to be 1333 01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:23,160 Speaker 2: together anymore that part. And I noticed that, like the 1334 01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 2: first guy she met was probably who she would have controlled. 1335 01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,520 Speaker 1: He was very sweet, very soft. 1336 01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,720 Speaker 2: He said, in the past, I had a relationship that 1337 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:33,320 Speaker 2: broke me, like twenty years ago. 1338 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:34,280 Speaker 1: He's still crying about it. 1339 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:37,760 Speaker 4: Remember they talked about it. 1340 01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, boo the white guy, Yeah, I think his name 1341 01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 3: is Justin. 1342 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:47,600 Speaker 2: I think yeah, watching that, so yes, And then after that, 1343 01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 2: she then gets this older man who has that masculine 1344 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:55,160 Speaker 2: vibe like she knows this is what she wants. 1345 01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:56,920 Speaker 1: She doesn't realize it's also what she needs. 1346 01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 2: That part, because she's and this is for most women 1347 01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:04,880 Speaker 2: who are young successful or they just young to me 1348 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:05,920 Speaker 2: is like younger. 1349 01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:06,439 Speaker 1: Than sixty five. 1350 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,920 Speaker 2: So like you're in a career that's like progressing really well, 1351 01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 2: and you're used to being that dominant figure. You're used 1352 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 2: to like men constantly like pandering to you. And so 1353 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,520 Speaker 2: she finally sees a guy who almost matches her and 1354 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,960 Speaker 2: the dominance and she's like, wow, you know, he's just 1355 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:27,680 Speaker 2: like Y knows it and every single time, he respectfully, 1356 01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,000 Speaker 2: because I think he did it very respectful, tries to 1357 01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:33,120 Speaker 2: put her in her place in terms of like, well, no, 1358 01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,360 Speaker 2: actually we need to discuss this, or you didn't handle 1359 01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 2: this right, or you need to trust my direction. If 1360 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:43,640 Speaker 2: I say this is how this goes, she would shut down. Yeah, 1361 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:47,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm done, because it's an uncomfortable feeling to 1362 01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 2: actually meet yourself and meet what you know you need. 1363 01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:51,600 Speaker 1: So that's why people. 1364 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,840 Speaker 2: Keep reverting to what's comfortable, but it never ends well 1365 01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,080 Speaker 2: and you never end up satisfied. So it's like, I 1366 01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:01,960 Speaker 2: think for me going into whatever new relationship it is, 1367 01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,920 Speaker 2: I I definitely want to build a foundation of friendship 1368 01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:09,320 Speaker 2: and I also want someone who can confidently lead. And 1369 01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:11,800 Speaker 2: I also don't want to lead with my money because 1370 01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 2: like girls would be like, oh you know these they're 1371 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,680 Speaker 2: upset that guys get intimidated when they meet them. But 1372 01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,640 Speaker 2: then you're pulling up and like this crazy luxury, Like 1373 01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 2: I have a BMW I E and like when I 1374 01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,280 Speaker 2: show up in that it changes. Like I've been out 1375 01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:29,280 Speaker 2: with NFL players and they're like they see the car 1376 01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:37,040 Speaker 2: and they're like, you know, I waitated, Yes, I went 1377 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:41,120 Speaker 2: to Nick and Sam's with two NFL players. I won't 1378 01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:43,320 Speaker 2: say their names, but like they're they're on the Cowboys 1379 01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:43,840 Speaker 2: and whatnot. 1380 01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:45,360 Speaker 1: And I remember, like, we have a career. 1381 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,280 Speaker 4: On the Cowboys wide receiver. They do this or whatever. They 1382 01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:48,760 Speaker 4: just played in the last game. 1383 01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:51,000 Speaker 1: Game. 1384 01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,720 Speaker 3: You know, you can put two and two together. 1385 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,320 Speaker 4: But you said you said they got intimidated. Why you 1386 01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,040 Speaker 4: pulling up in there? Why why would you say that 1387 01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:00,840 Speaker 4: if they can match your energy. 1388 01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:06,800 Speaker 2: I think taking it back to like men want to yeah, 1389 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,520 Speaker 2: and for a star athlete. 1390 01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:11,840 Speaker 4: He's used to feeling yeah. 1391 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, you know, I'm making millions in the NFL, 1392 01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:16,840 Speaker 2: like any girl would want me. 1393 01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 1: And then when they. 1394 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,520 Speaker 5: See like because the men are visual, now I'm getting 1395 01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,040 Speaker 5: a visual that's where you are. 1396 01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:24,720 Speaker 1: Ye. And so when they pulled the ad up, he 1397 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 1: was like the heck. He was like, hold on, what 1398 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:31,680 Speaker 1: do you do again? But you need to teach me. 1399 01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:37,040 Speaker 5: And I was like, well, so you kind of said 1400 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:39,320 Speaker 5: you kind of felt away when he said that. But 1401 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,520 Speaker 5: talk about a little bit about because I think we 1402 01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,120 Speaker 5: have so many ladies who watched the podcast what is 1403 01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,680 Speaker 5: femininity to you? Because you talked a little bit about 1404 01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:52,320 Speaker 5: the expectation for men, but what being this like powerful 1405 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,960 Speaker 5: woman who's made a lot of money and had a 1406 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:55,600 Speaker 5: great career. 1407 01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:57,600 Speaker 1: What does femininity look like? 1408 01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,560 Speaker 2: I think number one, you have to kill your ego. 1409 01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,160 Speaker 2: You have to like there's a certain level of ego 1410 01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,720 Speaker 2: you should have. But it's being patient and being understanding 1411 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:09,000 Speaker 2: and also understanding I can be wrong a lot of times, 1412 01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 2: and I think society has caddled. 1413 01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,360 Speaker 1: Woman to appeal to us. 1414 01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,640 Speaker 2: So there is a lack of accountability that I think 1415 01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:20,880 Speaker 2: is naturally in us because if we fight for something, 1416 01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:21,920 Speaker 2: we get our way. 1417 01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,640 Speaker 1: And they say, like a happy wife is a happy life. 1418 01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 4: That nonsense. It's this toxic messaging that happens all the time, 1419 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,440 Speaker 4: even with a little girl. Like when you have a 1420 01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,440 Speaker 4: little girl, and I was very careful about doing this 1421 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,680 Speaker 4: with my daughter. Is that when they do something wrong, 1422 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:39,320 Speaker 4: you let them know it's wrong instead of talking like, oh, 1423 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:41,880 Speaker 4: it's okay, let her do that. But she took this 1424 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:43,760 Speaker 4: from me is no matter. It's just where you start 1425 01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,640 Speaker 4: letting her wrong be right and be like no, you're wrong. 1426 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:48,360 Speaker 4: You need to ask permission, you need to do this. 1427 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:50,720 Speaker 4: You say, I'm sorry, you just took this toy from 1428 01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,760 Speaker 4: him and he was playing with it, but a lot 1429 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:56,400 Speaker 4: of men coddled their daughters at a young age, and 1430 01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,680 Speaker 4: then they grow up and they expect their boyfriends their 1431 01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 4: husbands to do the same thing and saying hold on, 1432 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:03,640 Speaker 4: you ain't right about just everything, you know, but it 1433 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:05,200 Speaker 4: starts from a very young age, you know. 1434 01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:07,960 Speaker 2: And and that I agree with. And that's what my 1435 01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,920 Speaker 2: dad didn't do for me, you know, shout out to him. 1436 01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:16,880 Speaker 2: He raised us so strict, like it was like no emotions. 1437 01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:19,760 Speaker 2: My mom was the super soft SEPs so I naturally 1438 01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 2: like was like my mom's girl. 1439 01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,440 Speaker 1: Now I'm like a daddy's girl. Like both, I love 1440 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:26,360 Speaker 1: you both, but yeah, I know. 1441 01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,600 Speaker 2: I think it's it's being able to take accountability and 1442 01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:33,520 Speaker 2: be held accountable. It's being patient. It's also wanting to 1443 01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:35,320 Speaker 2: be pretty. I think a lot of women, when they're 1444 01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,400 Speaker 2: used to just like working all the time, get used 1445 01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,280 Speaker 2: to not wanting to be pretty, you know, or they 1446 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:42,840 Speaker 2: forget what that looks like. I didn't learn how to 1447 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,160 Speaker 2: do makeup for mad to like two years. It was 1448 01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:47,760 Speaker 2: after the breakup that I was like, you know what, Like, 1449 01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,560 Speaker 2: I remember my aunt who is she is probably the 1450 01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:54,960 Speaker 2: best definition of She runs her own company, very successful internationally, 1451 01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,600 Speaker 2: but like she will always be my uncle's arms. And 1452 01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:00,920 Speaker 2: the first thing she told me for the breakup was 1453 01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,480 Speaker 2: do not let this ruin you. You need to go outside, 1454 01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,800 Speaker 2: get pretty, meet people, and just be you. 1455 01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:09,120 Speaker 1: Continue to be you. 1456 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 2: And I think I also think like people need to 1457 01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:15,240 Speaker 2: let go of expectations.

And so 1629 01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:22,840 Speaker 2: for me, I'm like, listen, my dad has constantly told 1630 01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,040 Speaker 2: me this a lot.

If 1636 01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:39,800 Speaker 2: you get married at thirty, then let's say I live 1637 01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:42,920 Speaker 2: till eighty. It's fifty years with one person. And people 1638 01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:45,040 Speaker 2: are trying to rush, like they'll meet somebody in like 1639 01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:46,160 Speaker 2: two months, three months. 1640 01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:47,320 Speaker 1: They want to like get married. 1641 01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,719 Speaker 2: And I'm like, I guess, like, if that's from God, amen, 1642 01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:52,800 Speaker 2: you know that has nothing to do with me. But 1643 01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,320 Speaker 2: at the same time, you're going to have that connection 1644 01:16:56,400 --> 01:17:00,240 Speaker 2: with them for decades, so why rush it? And so 1645 01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,800 Speaker 2: I think for me that's where I like, I don't 1646 01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:04,679 Speaker 2: want to make the wrong mistake with a partner, because 1647 01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:07,599 Speaker 2: I don't want to start exploring like what divorce looks 1648 01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,240 Speaker 2: like and how heartbreaking that is, because that's I'm sure 1649 01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:14,639 Speaker 2: that's worse than regular heartbreak. And then also the type 1650 01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:17,320 Speaker 2: of home that my children grow up in, because I 1651 01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:20,479 Speaker 2: would like to start the foundation of what America has 1652 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,639 Speaker 2: kind of been built on. But also when it comes 1653 01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,160 Speaker 2: to the wealthy families in America and what they're so 1654 01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:29,320 Speaker 2: used to, that's kind of what I want to start establishing. 1655 01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:32,400 Speaker 2: Is we always have this conversation about like generational wealth, 1656 01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:35,240 Speaker 2: but in practice, I think we like to speak about 1657 01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:37,080 Speaker 2: it more than practice it. And I'm like, oh, like, 1658 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,040 Speaker 2: I want my kids to be trust fund babies. I 1659 01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:42,679 Speaker 2: want them to value their lineage and their last name 1660 01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:46,479 Speaker 2: and how powerful it is, and I also want them 1661 01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,479 Speaker 2: to transfer that to their kids and everything. So I 1662 01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:53,040 Speaker 2: take that stuff very seriously. And I also want to 1663 01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:56,599 Speaker 2: fully commit when I'm a mother, Like I don't want 1664 01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:58,600 Speaker 2: to be like working all the time and have no 1665 01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:00,439 Speaker 2: time for them. I want to beat every every single 1666 01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:03,720 Speaker 2: game and like really be there for them. And that's 1667 01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:06,880 Speaker 2: why I think I'm so intentional on working now because 1668 01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,360 Speaker 2: I don't care about like what I guess society cares about, 1669 01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:13,160 Speaker 2: which is like living life in your twenties.

I would start crying because 1696 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:29,920 Speaker 5: I felt like right, I was able to accomplish all 1697 01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,760 Speaker 5: of these other things that I set out to do 1698 01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:36,519 Speaker 5: as a woman. And true femininity is not getting on 1699 01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:39,840 Speaker 5: one knee asking a man to marry you. So you 1700 01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:43,080 Speaker 5: have to have so much faith in what God is 1701 01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:48,040 Speaker 5: going to do, and his timing sometimes isn't our timing. 1702 01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,920 Speaker 5: Like I just married this man at thirty seven, and 1703 01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:55,800 Speaker 5: he's part he's my purpose partner, he's God ordained.

And so I say that because 1709 01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:14,720 Speaker 5: I get so many messages from women who are like 1710 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,680 Speaker 5: things haven't worked out the way that they wanted on 1711 01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,080 Speaker 5: their own time, and they're like, I don't get it. 1712 01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:24,799 Speaker 5: I'm controlling everything else, everything I'm checking boxes and everything 1713 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:28,200 Speaker 5: else is happening.

Uncle, 1790 01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:18,720 Speaker 4: whatever the man is, He went and took his grandson, 1791 01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:21,240 Speaker 4: a nephew whoever the little boy was, took him to 1792 01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:24,960 Speaker 4: have his first sexual experience with somebody at a quote 1793 01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:29,559 Speaker 4: unquote whorehouse as they called in the movie, and that 1794 01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:35,640 Speaker 4: has become so normalized by our culture that is so predatory. 1795 01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:39,280 Speaker 4: What I'm saying right now, as young men, this is 1796 01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:43,320 Speaker 4: your uncle Lata's talking to you. Don't normalize going to 1797 01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:47,519 Speaker 4: strip clubs, don't normalize being in threeesomes. Don't normalize the 1798 01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:50,679 Speaker 4: things that we have been taught that this is what 1799 01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:55,519 Speaker 4: masculinity looks like. That's toxic masculinity. That's unbiblical, that's against God. 1800 01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:59,920 Speaker 4: And so if you can thwart your lifestyle from experiencing that, 1801 01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:02,479 Speaker 4: then you won't have to go through so much soul 1802 01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:05,360 Speaker 4: tie breaking from what you've seen through your eye gates 1803 01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:08,160 Speaker 4: and irrgates. Asking God to deliver you from these things 1804 01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:11,240 Speaker 4: so that you can show up healthy in your future wife. 1805 01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:13,960 Speaker 4: That's so good because that's the truth. It's like we've 1806 01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,799 Speaker 4: been taught that so much. They always say, so your royos, 1807 01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:19,320 Speaker 4: go go have sex with as many women as possible. 1808 01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:20,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then. 1809 01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:23,040 Speaker 4: You've trained your body to be in in and out 1810 01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:26,599 Speaker 4: of different women's bed every day. And then you're gonna say, oh, 1811 01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:29,400 Speaker 4: and I'm gonna take you for holy matrimony, and then 1812 01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:31,960 Speaker 4: that's why it sounds like a prison sentence. The minute 1813 01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:34,599 Speaker 4: that people get married that you know, the grooms are 1814 01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:37,240 Speaker 4: in the room saying, got that old ball and chain. 1815 01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:39,280 Speaker 4: You know they call marriage an old ball and chain. 1816 01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,280 Speaker 4: They say, you're just gonna have this one woman for 1817 01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:44,120 Speaker 4: the rest of your life, and it's frowned upon instead 1818 01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,599 Speaker 4: of applauded and say, man, that's amazing. You're gonna show 1819 01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,839 Speaker 4: up as a man that's gonna be faithful and honorable, 1820 01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,479 Speaker 4: and you're gonna be able to cover this one woman 1821 01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:53,320 Speaker 4: for the rest of your life, not to deal with 1822 01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,200 Speaker 4: the drama of different women blowing your phone up. You 1823 01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:58,840 Speaker 4: gotta hide your phone because you getting text messages. You 1824 01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:01,559 Speaker 4: get a chance to honor one woman. And so I've 1825 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:04,960 Speaker 4: normalized these conversations with my nephew son La Darien and 1826 01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:06,800 Speaker 4: saying that no, listen, I want you to be a 1827 01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:09,160 Speaker 4: mighty man of valor. It's not that you need to 1828 01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:11,160 Speaker 4: get this out of your system. Because at the end 1829 01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:13,280 Speaker 4: of the day, if we program men to get it 1830 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:15,200 Speaker 4: out of our system, then we normalize that that's what 1831 01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:16,519 Speaker 4: we're supposed to have in our system. 1832 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:20,000 Speaker 2: Yes, and there's there's one of my favorite Bible verses 1833 01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:23,240 Speaker 2: when people talk about like the concept of sex is 1834 01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:29,080 Speaker 2: it's in Firse Corinthian six, where it's in Matthews. I 1835 01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:33,240 Speaker 2: think it's in the New Testament. There we go, I 1836 01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:37,280 Speaker 2: am where it says, you know, they're talking or Paul's 1837 01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:39,799 Speaker 2: talking to the people at Corinth so it isn't verse conthidence. 1838 01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:43,160 Speaker 2: And they're like, okay, okay, Well tell us like when 1839 01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:46,960 Speaker 2: a man has sex with a prostitute, like what happens? 1840 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,519 Speaker 2: And he was like, well, when a man has sex 1841 01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:53,240 Speaker 2: with the prostitute, they become one. And I think I 1842 01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:56,639 Speaker 2: love that they use the extreme versus just a woman 1843 01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:59,719 Speaker 2: because even when you were just sleeping around with people, 1844 01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 2: now like marriage is supposed to be this covenant where 1845 01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,040 Speaker 2: you're able to fight their battles and you're supposed to 1846 01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:07,840 Speaker 2: fight them together. So it's like all the things you 1847 01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:10,960 Speaker 2: go through like spiritually and also you exceed at and 1848 01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:13,559 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people find themselves and these 1849 01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:17,200 Speaker 2: depressive swings are like detached emotionally, yep, because they've just 1850 01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:19,800 Speaker 2: been getting this transfer so many people that they keep 1851 01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:23,240 Speaker 2: becoming one with and they're not taking it as seriously 1852 01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:25,640 Speaker 2: in terms of what that does to you internally. So 1853 01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:27,719 Speaker 2: That's why I like, For me, I take that seriously 1854 01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:29,880 Speaker 2: because I'm like, guys, I don't think you understand that 1855 01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:33,960 Speaker 2: David lost his blessing because of this facts like same 1856 01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,040 Speaker 2: thing happened with Samson. 1857 01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:35,400 Speaker 4: Yep. 1858 01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:38,880 Speaker 2: So for me, I take it as seriously as who 1859 01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:40,840 Speaker 2: you mess around with.

You can tell 1879 01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:24,400 Speaker 4: she's done a lot of work. I'm glad that she 1880 01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,960 Speaker 4: brought up going through therapy. Therapy is so important, and 1881 01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:30,360 Speaker 4: some key things and some powerful takeaways is that she 1882 01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:34,800 Speaker 4: recognized where she was going wrong. She took ownership accountability, 1883 01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:38,880 Speaker 4: saying how she emaculated her last boyfriend. She operated, and 1884 01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:44,400 Speaker 4: she humbled herself, and you know, she had to get 1885 01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:46,920 Speaker 4: on her knees and beg them, but she operated in 1886 01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:50,840 Speaker 4: a huge display of humility by apologizing to them. And 1887 01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,960 Speaker 4: then I love that her father stepped in and began 1888 01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:57,639 Speaker 4: to heal the heart of his daughter. That speaks volumes 1889 01:28:57,640 --> 01:28:59,960 Speaker 4: to me, because you know, I'm a hashtag girl dad. 1890 01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:04,640 Speaker 4: But the fact that her father, how did you word it? 1891 01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:09,120 Speaker 4: You said heartbreak? What'd you say? Break up boot camp? Yeah, 1892 01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:10,040 Speaker 4: she said break. 1893 01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:11,200 Speaker 1: Up, break camp, boot camp. 1894 01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,559 Speaker 4: That her father took us through break up boot camp 1895 01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:17,160 Speaker 4: and something key that he did that I recommend every 1896 01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:20,760 Speaker 4: parent to do. Share your own story. The Bible says 1897 01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:23,040 Speaker 4: that people overcome by the word of our testimony and 1898 01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:25,759 Speaker 4: by the blood of the Lamb. He shared his testimony 1899 01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:28,280 Speaker 4: and say, hey, listen, I was here, I was in 1900 01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,120 Speaker 4: this place where I had the woman that had all 1901 01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:31,880 Speaker 4: the money, had this or whatever. But the way she 1902 01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:33,840 Speaker 4: talked to me, she was a masculating me. I didn't 1903 01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:36,040 Speaker 4: want this. This other woman came to my life brought me peace. 1904 01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:38,599 Speaker 4: That's who I chose to put a ring on, you know. 1905 01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:41,080 Speaker 4: And so we just need our parents to be more 1906 01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,360 Speaker 4: forthcoming because they used to say what happens in the 1907 01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:45,000 Speaker 4: house stays in the house. I'm not going to share 1908 01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:47,840 Speaker 4: nothing about No, be transparent and vulnerable so we can 1909 01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:52,080 Speaker 4: learn from your mistakes, your decisions, and things that you overcome. 1910 01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:54,759 Speaker 4: Go ahead, tell me what you wrote. 1911 01:29:54,560 --> 01:29:57,040 Speaker 1: There it was. 1912 01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,040 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people should also be willing 1913 01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:02,720 Speaker 2: to share the relationship and ships with their parents. I 1914 01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:05,040 Speaker 2: think a lot of kids are really afraid or they 1915 01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:05,479 Speaker 2: feel like. 1916 01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:06,880 Speaker 1: Well, I'm grown, I know what I'm doing. 1917 01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:09,000 Speaker 2: But like I always say, there's something that will take 1918 01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:11,160 Speaker 2: you six months to realize that you tell someone else 1919 01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:12,880 Speaker 2: and they'll understand in six minutes. 1920 01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:14,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, and they're like, oh no, no. 1921 01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:17,479 Speaker 2: That has to go like yep, but you spend all 1922 01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:19,599 Speaker 2: this time learning the hard way. 1923 01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:22,960 Speaker 1: But I wrote, take me a second to think of one. 1924 01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:24,000 Speaker 4: Go what you got. 1925 01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:27,679 Speaker 1: But it's simple. I think it's true.

The likelihood have 2015 01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:39,000 Speaker 4: ever been adopted? Yep, you guessed it. Slim to none. 2016 01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:43,519 Speaker 4: While Ladarian and Ourmiani were trying to survive and barely 2017 01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:47,000 Speaker 4: thrive in an overpopulated and underfunded false care system, I 2018 01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:50,400 Speaker 4: was living my own life, doing well professionally, having been 2019 01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:52,639 Speaker 4: a single father with a daughter who at that point 2020 01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:55,080 Speaker 4: was doing well in college. It was my time to 2021 01:34:55,120 --> 01:35:01,720 Speaker 4: live my life right wrong. I felt unsettled, tireless, agitated. 2022 01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:06,000 Speaker 4: There are just two many of our black children stuck 2023 01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:09,800 Speaker 4: in ambiguity and in the limbo of the Falseter care system. 2024 01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:14,240 Speaker 4: In twenty seventeen, I legally adopted my nephew Ladaria. Fast 2025 01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:16,680 Speaker 4: forward to twenty nineteen. I had no ties to this 2026 01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:19,200 Speaker 4: other young king, but I felt God instructed me to 2027 01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:22,759 Speaker 4: adopt them also on al bate. Starting over with parenting 2028 01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:25,680 Speaker 4: should have been enough. Right, Working with various foster care 2029 01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:28,960 Speaker 4: and adoption agencies to help bring awareness to the countless 2030 01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:32,560 Speaker 4: young Black Kings and the Falster Care system should have decreased. 2031 01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:36,320 Speaker 4: My agitation right joined the board of directors of Advantage 2032 01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:40,240 Speaker 4: Adoption and organization that helps find permanent adoptive homes for 2033 01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:42,760 Speaker 4: children in Falter Care should have led to some type 2034 01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:47,280 Speaker 4: of resolve. Right, No, not at all. None of it 2035 01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:51,720 Speaker 4: felt like I had done enough. I now realized that 2036 01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:55,719 Speaker 4: every one of those experiences was land the fundamental foundation 2037 01:35:55,840 --> 01:36:01,480 Speaker 4: for my life's mission. Kingdom Royal Royal would be a luxury, 2038 01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:04,400 Speaker 4: state of the art home for foster boys. Our first 2039 01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:07,519 Speaker 4: location will be in the Dallas Fortwork Metroplex. We will 2040 01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:11,920 Speaker 4: utilize the whole person approach that instills identity, empowers them 2041 01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:15,840 Speaker 4: to advocate for themselves, and enlightens them regarding new perspectives 2042 01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:21,280 Speaker 4: and limitless options that they thought were impossible. Though. The 2043 01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:23,639 Speaker 4: young Kings will attend the local public schools that are 2044 01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:27,679 Speaker 4: in proximity to Kingdom Royal. Our at home curriculum will 2045 01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:31,360 Speaker 4: broaden their worldview through participating in the arts, attending various 2046 01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:36,160 Speaker 4: cultural events, learning about and engaging in multifaceted discussions about 2047 01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:40,360 Speaker 4: current events and even relevant historical contexts, introducing them to 2048 01:36:40,479 --> 01:36:44,320 Speaker 4: gardening and landscaping, and even caring for our animals on 2049 01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:48,160 Speaker 4: our form and on site stables. We just launched our 2050 01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:51,320 Speaker 4: startup capital campaign with the goal of raising two point 2051 01:36:51,400 --> 01:36:54,639 Speaker 4: eight million dollars. Now why two point eight million dollars? Well, 2052 01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:57,000 Speaker 4: In twenty seventeen, I created a web series in which 2053 01:36:57,040 --> 01:37:00,960 Speaker 4: I performed random acts of kindness for targeting the homeless community. 2054 01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:03,479 Speaker 4: One of the most notable successes was that one of 2055 01:37:03,479 --> 01:37:08,759 Speaker 4: the videos went viral, garnering twenty eight million views. However, 2056 01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:11,320 Speaker 4: one of my biggest regrets is that I didn't raise 2057 01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:14,720 Speaker 4: a single dollar to help in implementing a more sustainable 2058 01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:18,840 Speaker 4: plan for the homeless community. So, throughout the years, with 2059 01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:22,599 Speaker 4: much remorse, I reflect that I'm not maximizing that moment. 2060 01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:25,640 Speaker 4: I knew if at that time just ten percent of 2061 01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:28,519 Speaker 4: the viewers donated one dollar, we would have raised at 2062 01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:32,080 Speaker 4: least two point eight million dollars that could have really 2063 01:37:32,200 --> 01:37:35,200 Speaker 4: established long term support for the homeless community, or at 2064 01:37:35,280 --> 01:37:39,280 Speaker 4: least started a long term initiative to do so. This 2065 01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:43,759 Speaker 4: is my do over, this is our new beginning. Together, 2066 01:37:44,040 --> 01:37:47,360 Speaker 4: we can attack this at the route by specifically helping 2067 01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:52,360 Speaker 4: our homeless Black boys who are already disproportionately represented in 2068 01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:55,879 Speaker 4: the American fossil care system. I'm the Terra sar Wickfield. 2069 01:37:55,880 --> 01:37:59,320 Speaker 4: I've been nominated for three Regional Emmys documenting my work 2070 01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:02,320 Speaker 4: with the homeless as well as my personal adoption journey. 2071 01:38:02,840 --> 01:38:07,280 Speaker 4: Despite those accolades, the greatest award for me is truly 2072 01:38:07,400 --> 01:38:13,120 Speaker 4: providing the infrastructure for a transformed life.
