Speaker 1: just feeling good. Right. But here's the key. We keep
Speaker 1: it real here, so we touch on things they don't
Speaker 1: make us feel so good, but we know that it
Speaker 1: is for the betterment of us because we gotta see
Speaker 1: all parts of it. And if we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: shedding the light, that means we have to shut it
Speaker 1: on the good and the bad. Because if you want
Speaker 1: to be better and you want to do better, you
Speaker 1: have to be able to see better. Right, That's like
Speaker 1: how we established the vision for our lives, the vision
Speaker 1: for us to come. Shoot, that's how we see. So
Speaker 1: that's how this podcast came to be. Um, you can
Speaker 1: get it everywhere as far as on all platforms you

Speaker 1: so a lot of the interviews and inspirational insights and
Speaker 1: the conversations can be uh found there at during day Speaks. Also,
Speaker 1: I want to encourage you that if you are an
Speaker 1: avid listening to this podcast or this is your first time,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I'm digging it, please tell somebody to
Speaker 1: tell somebody and tell somebody. Look, this is my dream
Speaker 1: and I'm busting my butts that we can get the
Speaker 1: subscriber list up so we can make that money so
Speaker 1: I can keep this going because in my vision, the
Speaker 1: world is gonna Vitamin D. But I can't do this
Speaker 1: without chewing me Like we're working together on this, okay, uh,
Speaker 1: and it's manifesting. I know it's possible. In fact, you know,
Speaker 1: usually this is where I'm saying, you know, without further
Speaker 1: Ado goes to that dose of vitamin D. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get straight to it because since we're talking about
Speaker 1: vitamin D. You know what, I was talking to my
Speaker 1: baby last night. Now I don't have any kids, but
Speaker 1: when I'm talking about my baby, my nephews. I have
Speaker 1: two nephews, uh l J. And I'm called up to
Speaker 1: my Jerry Berry, James and Jeremy. But l J and
Speaker 1: Jerry Berry. L J was my first baby, and so
Speaker 1: now he's fourteen, so you know, I'm adjusted to the
Speaker 1: you know stuff like he ignores me. But you know,
Speaker 1: I don't get the call back like I usually get back,
Speaker 1: you know. But it's interesting that when you stay open
Speaker 1: to receive those relationships that they they evolved. But I
Speaker 1: sell that to say I have we've been playing tag
Speaker 1: or I guess I've been hounding him waiting for him
Speaker 1: to call me back. And you know, if you got
Speaker 1: if your mother or a proud auntie, your uncle or
Speaker 1: at least auntie, I can speak for myself, you know,
Speaker 1: dumb hype. Dumb hype because if you're inside to call me,
Speaker 1: but anywhere, let me get to us. So I was
Speaker 1: talking to my baby last night and he said, Auntie,
Speaker 1: he came out of nowhere with this. He was like,
Speaker 1: you know, this idea just came to mind that somebody
Speaker 1: was like, um, Dawn day, that's what Auntie. And he
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, because you're gonna be really famous one day.
Speaker 1: And I just I just said, thank you so much,
Speaker 1: nephew for speaking life over me. And I said I'll
Speaker 1: receive it on shot that I received it in the name.
Speaker 1: And I guess, you know, usually get all emotional and sentimental,
Speaker 1: but this part, it was just so amazing to see
Speaker 1: that my babies believe in me. And I feel like,
Speaker 1: if you're going out to your dream, like that's how
Speaker 1: a parent it should be. It should be something that
Speaker 1: everybody recognizes. And it isn't an affirmation that somebody is
Speaker 1: giving you. It's more like a confirmation. But I felt
Speaker 1: really good because it's gonna happen. And I guess if
Speaker 1: you checked out a previous episode I put up, it
Speaker 1: was entitled do you Really Want It? And I was
Speaker 1: talking about kind of like everything of how I got
Speaker 1: to vitamin D right now and when we have to
Speaker 1: really make the decision about what we want in our life.
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like oftentimes like we say we
Speaker 1: want something, we say we want to do something, but
Speaker 1: then when we look in the mirror, the person looking
Speaker 1: back at us isn't matching the things that we said. Now,
Speaker 1: what are the traditional excuses? Um, you're waiting for somebody
Speaker 1: else to give you an opportunity. UM, you're waiting for
Speaker 1: this opportunity to present itself to you. UM or you're
Speaker 1: just waiting for the perfect time to start. And I
Speaker 1: can't reiterate this enough. The perfect time is to start now.
Speaker 1: The perfect time for the opportunity is for you to
Speaker 1: create one um and build your door, create your seat
Speaker 1: at the table, and you do it by taking one
Speaker 1: step in front of the other, put in one foot
Speaker 1: in front of the other. Buch leads me to my
Speaker 1: next thing. You know, I talked about this as well
Speaker 1: um previous episodes about this whole proning process and UM,
Speaker 1: how do people and things are just falling away and
Speaker 1: just get into a space where I'm not holding onto things?
Speaker 1: And I guess I want that for you for the
Speaker 1: season that we're stepping into, not just season of of
Speaker 1: literally of of of the weather, but this season of life.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like we need to know the seasons
Speaker 1: that we're in like, are you on the planting season,
Speaker 1: are you in the needing season of your soil? Are
Speaker 1: you in the watering season? And are you in the
Speaker 1: reaping seasons of your life? Um? And that goes to
Speaker 1: whatever your vision was, whether it's your career, whether it's
Speaker 1: your relationship, whether it's your kids, um, whether it's a goal,
Speaker 1: whether it's school. I don't care what it is, but
Speaker 1: understanding what that season is, um, but making it apparent
Speaker 1: about what it is you want. So, as I was
Speaker 1: thinking about that proning process, I know that my dreams
Speaker 1: are manifesting. That's why I'm not so gun hole about
Speaker 1: things that aren't working, because as I've matured, it just
Speaker 1: lived a little bit more. Ain't nobody trying to carry
Speaker 1: nothing else they already got to carry. And what that
Speaker 1: means is is that if it's not serving in the
Speaker 1: betterment of me, if it's not serving in the betterment
Speaker 1: of you, peace And it's no shade. It's just because literally,
Speaker 1: what we're asking for more in life, when we're asking
Speaker 1: to be elevated, when we're asking to be higher, you
Speaker 1: realize that it's harder to get higher when you're carrying
Speaker 1: so much. That's weighing you down. And that's how I
Speaker 1: know what I know what I know with going through
Speaker 1: the proning process and not not tripping over relationships that
Speaker 1: are dissolving, not tripping on opportunities that I felt or
Speaker 1: thought that we're mine, that seems as if they're fleeting
Speaker 1: because what's mine is mine because I see what God
Speaker 1: is doing, because I see that I'm putting one foot
Speaker 1: in front of the other and dreams are manifesting. When
Speaker 1: I get the confirmation from my fourteen year old nephew
Speaker 1: that lives in Michigan talking about his auntie and said
Speaker 1: that he just saw, he was like, see, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be real big Amen. Amen. And I think also I
Speaker 1: just want to say this too, like when we're asking
Speaker 1: ourselves do we really want it right? And we're looking
Speaker 1: at this proning process. You got a vision board, I
Speaker 1: got a vision board. I think oftentimes we're kind of
Speaker 1: duels us A little bit is that we call them
Speaker 1: vision boards, but I feel like they're more of like
Speaker 1: timeline boards. I was talking to my good friend Shallow.
Speaker 1: You may have heard me talk about her on the
Speaker 1: previous episode Boys Set on the phone a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago, and I said, why is it that people
Speaker 1: call these vision boards? Were feeling like they need to
Speaker 1: have a new board every year. I said, that's not
Speaker 1: a vision board, that's a timeline board. I created my
Speaker 1: vision board on the last one I did it. Well,
Speaker 1: I didn't do one last year, so it's probably will
Speaker 1: be two years come this December October because I did
Speaker 1: it after the moon of one. The new moon was
Speaker 1: coming about, and you know they say when you do
Speaker 1: stuff on a new moon, that allows for things to
Speaker 1: grow with a lot of prosperity. Like when I was younger,
Speaker 1: my mother used to always tread my sister and our
Speaker 1: hair um according to the moon, and you know that
Speaker 1: was the whole logic behind that. But anyway, I digress.
Speaker 1: I'm saying all that to say is that, uh, I'm
Speaker 1: realizing even this one and a half years later last
Speaker 1: time I did the vision board, things are still manifesting.
Speaker 1: And perhaps sometimes that we put too much pressure thinking
Speaker 1: that it has to happen at a certain time. Chick,
Speaker 1: be easy. You didn't say you want to see you
Speaker 1: set the vision, so the pieces have to come together.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this right now. One of the things
Speaker 1: that I have on my vision board is to be
Speaker 1: a women in media, and the women of color are
Speaker 1: syndicated how to read. That's what I'm doing with this podcast.
Speaker 1: I know, Dawn, who are you to be this bold
Speaker 1: to say this? I know I am, I am, and
Speaker 1: I want to just encourage you to be that bold.
Speaker 1: But you know, as I told you on this podcast
Speaker 1: of how I'm learning me and understanding different facets and
Speaker 1: different seeing different size of me, I'm working on this
Speaker 1: level of vulnerability, vulnerability. You know, I've always been that
Speaker 1: person that somebody says, darn, you're strong, Darn you handle it.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like that thing You've gotta get it
Speaker 1: done because it's me. But I realized that why I
Speaker 1: thought that this whole vulnerability of opening up, uh, this
Speaker 1: area of calling like I don't have anything figured out,
Speaker 1: I realized that there's actually strength in that. And um,
Speaker 1: I had to tap into a Brune Brown because I
Speaker 1: told God, I said, I want to be there. I'm
Speaker 1: telling myself I want to be there to be open
Speaker 1: to more things. Because when you're vulnerable, you allow yourself
Speaker 1: to be open to receive, to release, and also um
Speaker 1: to connect. So what did I say to receive, to
Speaker 1: release and to connect because it's just open, and it's
Speaker 1: just like anything, when you allow things to be open,
Speaker 1: you can you can roll right through it. And one
Speaker 1: area that I think that UM, that my vulnerability has
Speaker 1: always I guess been open with us. My dreams are
Speaker 1: my dreams, UM. I've always been bold by saying what
Speaker 1: I want, UM, whether it's moving across the country, whether
Speaker 1: it's asking for what I feel I deserve or acknowledging
Speaker 1: or requesting what it is I'm worth. But I look
Speaker 1: at other areas of my life where I feel as
Speaker 1: though no ability could really support that UM. Whether it
Speaker 1: is when I first moved in my apartment, I said
Speaker 1: about an age of thirty, I said, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: my own apartment to myself. Well, I got in that
Speaker 1: apartment that pertman didn't have any furniture, so I literally
Speaker 1: slept on the floor in the comforter, and so people like, well, hey,
Speaker 1: don why don't you just say anything. I guess for me,
Speaker 1: a part of it was like, well, I put myself
Speaker 1: in that situation, so I need to figure it out.
Speaker 1: But what happens is that when you don't allow where
Speaker 1: you don't share with people what's going on, you don't
Speaker 1: leave room for people to support. So as I was
Speaker 1: thinking about burnet brown um. She describes vulnerability as the uncertainty, risk,
Speaker 1: and emotional exposure. Hence open right and now just so
Speaker 1: that I'm falling along with my words. If we're talking
Speaker 1: about vitamin D and shutting light, things have to be
Speaker 1: open so the lights can get in. Hello, dawing day
Speaker 1: okay um. And she describes it as this unstable feeling
Speaker 1: we get when we step out of our comfort zone
Speaker 1: or do something that forces us to loosen control. Did
Speaker 1: you catch it? Let me go again? Unstable feeling we
Speaker 1: get when we step out of our comfort zone or
Speaker 1: do something that forces us to loosen control. I see
Speaker 1: how that could be have been better when it comes
Speaker 1: to my relationships both into minted platonic um. I see
Speaker 1: how that can even be better with myself putting myself
Speaker 1: out there being more daring. But I think the reason
Speaker 1: or what has prevented I would say that got in
Speaker 1: a way is when we talk about these myths to
Speaker 1: thinking about vulnerability, Like one a lot of folks for
Speaker 1: like it's weakness, you know, and that's usually like maybe
Speaker 1: you've experienced it about telling somebody first that you like them,
Speaker 1: or you know, being the one that's going in for
Speaker 1: the kiss, or um perhaps even asking to love one
Speaker 1: of like how their health is doing, asking somebody else
Speaker 1: to do that. I don't care what it is. You
Speaker 1: put yourself out on frustrate, right, but it's only there
Speaker 1: the kid you seek to get your answers. When we
Speaker 1: talk about being out of comfort zone, when you talk
Speaker 1: about and I said, used this loosely about putting yourself
Speaker 1: on blast, but it's putting yourself out there to be seen.
Speaker 1: Catch it another one, not this. I'm gonna go into
Speaker 1: this one because I feel like this woulda be me.
Speaker 1: I don't do vulnerability. Now. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: ever said like I don't do it, but it's the
Speaker 1: thing of m probably in the sense of not opening
Speaker 1: it up and asking for help and support that that
Speaker 1: kind of shut down some doors. And also um a
Speaker 1: backfire because it was almost a sense that I wasn't
Speaker 1: connecting UM. And I think that's one of the things
Speaker 1: that's so important we talk about vulnerability. You gotta allow
Speaker 1: yourself to be seen, you know, and it's a weight
Speaker 1: that you carry when you're constantly trying to protect yourself
Speaker 1: or comfort yourself. Take it off, Take it off. I
Speaker 1: said this before and I'm gonna say it again. Gami
Speaker 1: said on red table Tall, nobody can beat you with
Speaker 1: your own truth. What's your truth? Then this as a
Speaker 1: third one, here we can go at it alone. Like
Speaker 1: I said, the second one, probably the third one. It's
Speaker 1: always this thing like I can handle it now. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of it has to do with nurture
Speaker 1: and nature. And I say that because I grew up
Speaker 1: in a single player a hound fold. Like my mother
Speaker 1: was the epitome of strength that I've seen, because here
Speaker 1: she is, she raised two kids, she had a three
Speaker 1: year old and three month old, and then your husband
Speaker 1: dies and then a year or two after that you
Speaker 1: battle cancer. So this whole idea of having to take
Speaker 1: care ofself and having to get done how in the
Speaker 1: sense how that vulnerability start doing me that I mentioned
Speaker 1: in step two or the second one, is that I
Speaker 1: didn't make room for somebody to come support. And that's
Speaker 1: why I want you to make room. After songs, we're
Speaker 1: going after these dreams thinking we have to do it alone,
Speaker 1: or being in this sense of having to have all
Speaker 1: the control of it. Well, what did I say that
Speaker 1: vulnerability is vulnerability is you do something that forces you
Speaker 1: to loose in control. There's the things like when you
Speaker 1: think about a company, you think about playing a position,
Speaker 1: when you think about connecting, you have to open it
Speaker 1: up so somebody can step in. Now, I know, I
Speaker 1: think I'm a bad mamajamma, and in many retrospects, I
Speaker 1: consider myself a god. But I realized that other things
Speaker 1: have been placed in front so that can support me
Speaker 1: on my way. So when we go with this, I
Speaker 1: can do it alone. Aspect, you're literally putting up a
Speaker 1: wall and not letting anyone in. You're literally shutting down
Speaker 1: that communication. We are here to communicate. Heck, the very
Speaker 1: thing eighty percent of your body is based on the
Speaker 1: communication of two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen because we're
Speaker 1: made eighty percent of water. So at what point do
Speaker 1: we step into life feeling like we gotta stop communicating? Heck,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something right now. Just when I
Speaker 1: was talking to Pronou, I'm gonna get real. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: call names, but I'm just gonna keep it real. Um,
Speaker 1: one of my what I want to say friends, But
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, do you call it a friendship.
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes we hold on to two friendships just
Speaker 1: because and it's just like we gotta get to a
Speaker 1: point in normalize and the fact that you I'll grow
Speaker 1: people and there's no animosity and making it seem like
Speaker 1: it's okay. But I say that because we talked about
Speaker 1: this whole realms of communication. And while I'm talking about
Speaker 1: communication with self and open of vulnerability, I want to
Speaker 1: just give an example what happens when you block off
Speaker 1: communication and you gotta be aware to see it. So
Speaker 1: like I was saying somebody I went to college with
Speaker 1: when I said, it was like my best friends, like
Speaker 1: my brother, like you know, like that was like it
Speaker 1: was us And I don't know, I can't call it
Speaker 1: what happened over the years, but what I will say
Speaker 1: is this is that we got to a point of
Speaker 1: just even a bump in the heads. And Um, everybody's
Speaker 1: not a great communicator, and I get that. I understand that,
Speaker 1: Like I probabe myself on being a fantastic communicator. Um,
Speaker 1: that's my strength, that is with my gift. That's where
Speaker 1: it's at. And this friend or I should say former friend,
Speaker 1: doesn't really have the means to communicate like that. But
Speaker 1: what I realized is that when we get about I
Speaker 1: don't want to force anything, and that's what I want
Speaker 1: to encourage with you is I'm talking about these dreams,
Speaker 1: as we talk about these timeline boards, as we talked
Speaker 1: about this communication relationship. We're at a headbut I'm saying,
Speaker 1: do you want to talk about it? You haven't called
Speaker 1: me back, I'm not carrying it. If you're not picking
Speaker 1: up the phone line to receive me, there's nothing to
Speaker 1: be sent. So what I'm saying is doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: I'm not open, but you have to get to a
Speaker 1: point with yourself of what you have to stand on
Speaker 1: your own feet about your integrity with self. What I
Speaker 1: have liked to to resolve this relationship yet, but if
Speaker 1: you're not ready, you're not ready. And we see that
Speaker 1: in so many cases of even relationships with people that
Speaker 1: you with. We have to get out of this whole
Speaker 1: idea of trying to force stuff. Now, that part is
Speaker 1: not vulnerability. Vulnerability is saying what it is that you want,
Speaker 1: being open to receive, but understanding that loosening that control
Speaker 1: that if it doesn't go your way, one you're gonna
Speaker 1: be okay, and two you're gonna keep it moving because
Speaker 1: even with the communication, communication don't start with yourself. You
Speaker 1: don't see it in these hydrogen molecules in your body
Speaker 1: block all right, I'm not banging with oxygen today. No,
Speaker 1: they worked together. That's part of the survival. And it's like,
Speaker 1: as we come together, we have to work together. But
Speaker 1: as I'm talking about this friend, I can't force you
Speaker 1: to want to communicate. And I realize it's just going
Speaker 1: back to the promise in the vision because if you're there,
Speaker 1: you're there, and if it works, it works. But if
Speaker 1: you weren't stepping up to the plate to do it,
Speaker 1: there's nothing that can be done here. And I think
Speaker 1: that's what I think is one of the key things
Speaker 1: that I want to get across of when we're talking
Speaker 1: about vulnerability and opening up for the whole point of
Speaker 1: it all. Because I knew reaching out to him that
Speaker 1: perhaps he wouldn't have anything to say, but I said,
Speaker 1: let me put myself on fund street because I know
Speaker 1: the healing that I want to do with myself. So
Speaker 1: let me just say this again, we're talking about not
Speaker 1: using your vulnerability. Do you know how how you do
Speaker 1: anything is how you do everything? I tell Jeremiah, Jeremiah,
Speaker 1: all this all the time. If I am stopping my
Speaker 1: vulnerability of not being able to communicate with somebody else
Speaker 1: outside of me, do you understand how that backfires and
Speaker 1: hits me where actually vulnerability will do me well, I
Speaker 1: won't even know. I won't even understand in the sense
Speaker 1: I won't even effectively communicate because I won't even know
Speaker 1: what I'm feeling because we are made of these materials
Speaker 1: and these molecules that are meant to communicate. Hen So
Speaker 1: why they always say you gotta go with it for
Speaker 1: your dreams. Huh? But here's the thing. If it doesn't flow,
Speaker 1: it can't go. So yeah, this was just about dawn
Speaker 1: walking into fact, reaffirming the aspect of dreams. Um two,
Speaker 1: Understanding how big vulnerability plays a factor in that, being
Speaker 1: open to see it being up and to understand what
Speaker 1: it is you want, and really understanding that the greater
Speaker 1: the risk, the greater the reward. Are you ready to
Speaker 1: be vulnerable with yourself? Are you really ready to sit
Speaker 1: down and be honest with yourself about what you really want?
Speaker 1: If it frustrated, I bet there's some miscommunication going on.
Speaker 1: I think it's time to have a conversation with yourself.
Speaker 1: I think it's time to be real, to understand what
Speaker 1: it is that you wanted, what it is that you
Speaker 1: don't want. Because yet again, when it comes down to
Speaker 1: do you really want it? When you're saying the things
Speaker 1: that you want in your life and when you're looking
Speaker 1: in the mirror and the person looking back at you
Speaker 1: it's and matching up, then what is it what you
Speaker 1: can say, Hey, Dawn, I want to be this multimillionaire.
Speaker 1: Hey Dawn, I want to owe my own media company.
Speaker 1: What do they say? Faith with our works? Instead, you
Speaker 1: don't have to wait for it to materialize. See so
Speaker 1: you think it's so you are, you have to already
Speaker 1: be it. I'm not waiting for the million dollars to
Speaker 1: come into my account for me to start acting like it.
Speaker 1: I'm already imagining the lifestyle that i want, the type
Speaker 1: of trips that I'm taking, the reach that I'm gonna have,
Speaker 1: just everything. It's already here. But it takes a level
Speaker 1: of vulnerability to even reach outside of that, to even
Speaker 1: see outside of that. So perhaps it's also blanketed it
Speaker 1: with the level of grace. Have your your vulnerability, but
Speaker 1: then blanketed with grace, Grace to understand the season that
Speaker 1: you are in your life right now, Grace to understand
Speaker 1: that you have to open up in order for things
Speaker 1: to come in, Grace to relieve yourself with this whole
Speaker 1: idea that, um, you don't have to hold on or
Speaker 1: horder things to make sure that it's yours. You know,
Speaker 1: when it's real, you don't have to hold onto it.
Speaker 1: It's gonna come back. I expensed that a couple of times,
Speaker 1: even with UM working with individuals just coming up a radio,
Speaker 1: people not wanting me to be involved with different things
Speaker 1: because it wasn't aligned with what they were doing, or
Speaker 1: perhaps um, my attention was going elsewhere. But it's like
Speaker 1: when you really love on somebody, when you really care
Speaker 1: about somebody, when you truly want the best, I don't
Speaker 1: have to hold onto you. I don't have to hold
Speaker 1: you on like a leash, because one if you're meant
Speaker 1: to be there, you'll be there. And if it's meant
Speaker 1: to be it's going to work out. So that's where
Speaker 1: I want to work at. UM, that's why I want
Speaker 1: to be at because this whole thing about self sabotage, say,
Speaker 1: it's real, almost self sabotaged myself the other day. Um,
Speaker 1: you know how I told you that I study at
Speaker 1: the Groundlings, So you've heard me say this before. The
Speaker 1: Grounding is one of the best things I've ever did
Speaker 1: in my life. Um, when I talk about vulnerability, I'm
Speaker 1: exposing myself every time that I get in front of
Speaker 1: there with performers. But the whole idea of the whole yes,
Speaker 1: And so in the program, I finished the core track.
Speaker 1: But now we get into a point where it's like
Speaker 1: the performance track. This is one time for the big girls.
Speaker 1: And when I say big girls, I mean for the
Speaker 1: girls get on stage. And then perhaps if you're granted
Speaker 1: because of your talent and because of you're you're resources
Speaker 1: to far relationships, you may be granted to be a spot.
Speaker 1: But even before that, I had to say this classes
Speaker 1: online through zoom and we're doing monologues and do you know,
Speaker 1: do you know they had through a suggestion out there
Speaker 1: and I think I was unfamiliar. But the first time
Speaker 1: I can't my my webcam got disconnected. And the second
Speaker 1: time because I got uncomfortable and they throughout the suggesting
Speaker 1: to know that I cut it off and I wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna go back in and I'm in this whole emotion
Speaker 1: right now where I'm trying to figure out my level
Speaker 1: of descernment, like what's fear? And one am I sensing
Speaker 1: like something that is for me and not for me?
Speaker 1: And I think we have to go through our levels
Speaker 1: of meditation to understand it, to hear ourselves because we
Speaker 1: got to be in tune. Okay. So I was sitting
Speaker 1: and I was like, I ain't supposed to be in
Speaker 1: this class, but not realizing it was fear because everybody
Speaker 1: in that class is better than me. And I say that,
Speaker 1: and I use that loosely. I said that because it's
Speaker 1: based on experience. But guess what, if you're trying to
Speaker 1: be a team and you're five, you better hang out
Speaker 1: with the teens, right. So that's why I'm in the class.
Speaker 1: But I was like, Dawn, this is what you want doing.
Speaker 1: This is what you've always dreamed of to be a performer.
Speaker 1: During Growlings Dawn Improv, it's helping you with your podcast
Speaker 1: Dawing Improv. Grownlings is helping you with your voice hovers auditions.
Speaker 1: Dawn Improv Growlings are helping you with their and TV shows.
Speaker 1: During Improv, Groundings is helping you with your everyday life
Speaker 1: and communication. You're gonna tell me you're gonna self sabotage.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? But why? Why do I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm not the only person that's ever did that
Speaker 1: with your self sabotage with huh what you're wasting time on? Huh?
Speaker 1: How did you strike yourself out of our opportunity? Huh? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful. I'm to teach you to class. She
Speaker 1: email me, she said, hey, it's okay. I said something like,
Speaker 1: oh my router or something got jacked up. But I
Speaker 1: got back on there and I showed up for myself. Now,
Speaker 1: one of the things that I had to congratulate on
Speaker 1: to give a pat on the back is because I
Speaker 1: came back. But I also didn't look at myself with disgust.
Speaker 1: That's why I said that even with the whole pillar
Speaker 1: of vulnerability, how you have to blanket it with grace. One,
Speaker 1: I had to be honest with myself. I said, done,
Speaker 1: where you're feeling a little insecure, I know, Remember this
Speaker 1: is the big thing because this is Dawn being strong. Dawn,
Speaker 1: you know doing, you got this, But guess way, you
Speaker 1: gotta check yourself before you wreck yourself. Dawn, I must
Speaker 1: have got my tailback on there, and I want to
Speaker 1: encourage you. So I experienced it too, of not always
Speaker 1: feeling it as confident, not always be the top person
Speaker 1: in the room, and I want to make sure that
Speaker 1: I get in more situations like that. So I did
Speaker 1: my monologue. Was it all together? No? And I was.
Speaker 1: I was able to be open with and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I felt so uncomfortable. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I felt so naked. And the level of support I
Speaker 1: had people coming up, Oh, that's what happened to me
Speaker 1: when I were my first um amount of log But
Speaker 1: here's the key. That's what happens when you're vulnerable. Vulnerability
Speaker 1: allows for that communication to take place. Vulnerability allows for
Speaker 1: us to attract, to connect and say, oh, I'm just
Speaker 1: like you, you just like me, we can do this together.
Speaker 1: That's the connecting. So when I decide to come forth
Speaker 1: and be like, okay, this is how I really felt.
Speaker 1: And as I was saying, I felt so egy because
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I didn't know, but it felt
Speaker 1: good and it's gonna make me better because I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be great and if I'm taking this to the moon
Speaker 1: and the stars. This is only the beginning of the
Speaker 1: level of vulnerability that needs to be seen. So I
Speaker 1: want to make sure that you understand that it has
Speaker 1: to be the same with you. Go out there and
Speaker 1: get it for yourself. Go out there and do it
Speaker 1: for you, because you deserve that, and I want more
Speaker 1: for you. Okay, my nephew believes in me. He said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a big star. Yeah, both of my babies. Um,
Speaker 1: So I want to know if you're gonna believe in yourself. Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: you don't have to answer and tell me that. You
Speaker 1: ain't even gotta scream at the screen or to speak.
Speaker 1: You just look at the mirror and you tell me
Speaker 1: what do you see? And maybe that's a good way
