Speaker 1: greatest exploration vehicle of all time, built Ford Pride. So

25
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: I had a chance to chat with miss Tina Lifford

26
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: this week and we chatted all about the evolution of

27
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Aunt Vice character and how her journey mimics that of

28
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: so many of us. We also chatted about giving ourselves

29
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: space and time to tap into our deepest desires, and

30
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: she shared more about the internal work that she's done

31
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: to allow her to really connect with on by a story.

32
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: And if you are a fan of Queen Sugar and

33
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: you saw last week's episode, then you know she had

34
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: an incredible performance, an incredible peak to her storyline, So

35
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: really talking about her connection was important to me. She

36
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: has an amazing event coming up this weekend here in Atlanta,

37
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,400

Speaker 1: at the end, so don't miss out on that. Here's

45
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: wonderful conversation. Yes, I am so thrilled. Um. So, you know,

46
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: just in kind of doing the research and finding out

47
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: more that you are already talking in real life about

48
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the same kinds of things we have

49
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: been talking about here therapy for black girls. So I

50
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: want to dig in a little bit and kind of

51
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: back up and just here from you, how would you

52
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: describe the evolution that you have seen in aunt BIA's

53
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: character kind of throughout the seasons that we've seen on

54
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: Clean Sugar. Yeah, you know, I would. I would say

55
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: that Vy is in a season of flowering, you know, opening,

56
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: And when I say season, I'm assuming that this is

57
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: going to be what her path for the rest of

58
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: her life. Right, And so when we first met by,

59
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: she came in a bit more situated in the surface

60
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: part of her life. You know, definitely you could tell

61
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: that whigs and and looking good and feeling sexual was

62
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: definitely part of her makeup. But then we began to

63
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: see that in addition to that outer presentation, there is

64
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: this soulful woman in there, you know, And this soulful

65
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: woman cares, and in her caring, she cares so much

66
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: and has such a sense of I don't just I

67
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: don't think that she considers her family just a responsibility.

68
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: Her family is more than a responsibility to her. Her

69
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: family is her life. Her family is love. Her family

70
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: is the extension of her love for her brother, you know.

71
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: And so she comes to the table wanting to honor

72
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: her brother, wanting to honor these really wonderful young people

73
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: in front of her, who clearly have great potential but

74
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: also need, you know, to get some stuff together. And

75
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: she doesn't come thinking about herself. But I think that

76
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: that moment in the high Yellow, when her successful girlfriends

77
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: are meeting or seeing her for the first time in

78
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: years and assuming that the high Yellow belongs to By,

79
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: and By has to admit that she's, you know, a worker.

80
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: She can't even really say she's the general manager. She's

81
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: just like d waitress sort of. You don't see it

82
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: on her face all that much, but inside that was

83
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: a wake up call because she knows that she's more

84
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: than that. Mm hmmm, and there was something in that

85
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: moment that sort of helped turn the trajectory of her

86
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: life into a little bit more of an inward glance.

87
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: I love that you were able to kind of pinpoint

88
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: like the point at which the character's life took a

89
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: turn right, because I do think, and we talked about

90
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: this in last week's podcast episode, it does feel like

91
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: there has been much more of an internal focus from

92
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: by this season and kind of making sure that she

93
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: is setting boundaries and really doing a better job of

94
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: taking care herself. And so I know that that's a

95
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: struggle that women outside of these characters have as well.

96
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: So can you speak to that a little bit about

97
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: what that might look like? Yeah, well, um, now when

98
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: you saying what that might look like, let let me

99
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: understand what you mean by that. What like, what kind

100
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: of strategies maybe could you offer for women in real

101
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: life to kind of do more that taking care of

102
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: themselves and kind of an internal focus so that they

103
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: are taking care of themselves so they can continue taking

104
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: care of family and loved one. So I'm going to

105
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: tell you that Tina Lifford has this this belief and

106
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, for all of your listeners here here's something

107
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: that I feel is undeniable. If in fact, we really

108
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: begin to look at our lives and life in general

109
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: from a more observers perspective, we will see a lot

110
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: of stuff that we haven't seen because our focus has

111
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: been so you know, in the woods of it all.

112
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: And one of the things that I actually write a

113
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: nice riff about this in my play The Circle. One

114
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: of the things that I noticed is that when a

115
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: woman hits like thirty seven, thirty eight, there's a change,

116
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: It begins to happen, and I language it like this

117
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: that somewhere around that thirty eight, getting close to forty

118
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: uh mark, we realize that all the things that we

119
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: have placed all of this attention on as a way

120
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: of getting to happiness, the man, the job, the money,

121
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: the kids, the bank account, the cars, all of a

122
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: sudden there is still something missing. And you're like, what

123
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: is that? And you realize that all of those external

124
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: things don't address the greatest yearning, and that yearning is

125
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: to be connected to yourself, and that wake up. It's

126
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: a hard one because you've given forty years to doing

127
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: it the way you thought you were supposed to do it,

128
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: and now you've got it all and something is still missing,

129
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: and that missing becomes even greater because you've got all

130
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: the things that you thought we're going to fill it.

131
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: So you're a little confused, your little piste off, your

132
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: little a lot of things, and then that forces you

133
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: to begin to at least have the big question mark

134
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: of Okay, so what is this? And that's a very

135
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: important place to be in the what is this? Because

136
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: the what is this opens us UH to now being

137
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: available to answers and discoveries outside of our UH mindset

138
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: and our former ideas about ourselves in life. So that

139
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: will opening becomes huge. And then when you cross over fifty,

140
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: it's like, now you know that time is no longer

141
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: this it'scountable, time is accountable, and time is running out,

142
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: and now you really know that you want to get

143
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: some of you done in this lifetime. And so I

144
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: feel that the one of the greatest moments in our

145
00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: lives is that moment of discomfort where we say I

146
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: got it all and I still ah Acknowledging that place

147
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: is huge because it takes us on the journey to

148
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: that inward journey that most of us haven't known about.

149
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, up until now, you know the position and

150
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:31,359
Speaker 1: the mindset around therapy, and so many particularly our community

151
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: and communities of of color, or I can't speak to

152
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: other communities of color, but where African Americans are concerned,

153
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: you know what what our taboos have been around this,

154
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: you know. So getting to that is a really good thing.

155
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: And I want to say that to listeners. Being in

156
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: that place of frustration and wanting more and not understanding

157
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: how everything that you have is not enough, that's a

158
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: good thing. And then the next the next step is

159
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: the next you know, sort of powerful uha is to

160
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: actually want something that hasn't anything to do with the

161
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: outside the moment we start wanting something from the inside. Okay,

162
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 1: So I want freedom from from this way in which

163
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: I always react, you know, or I want I want

164
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: just a little more peace in my life, dog on it,

165
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: or I want I want to just take a deep breath.

166
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: Having a desire that is connected to the self and

167
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: the awakening of the self, whether you label it that

168
00:12:53,640 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: or not, is a huge first step because then of

169
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: and I don't have another word for it. If you

170
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: have a term, please share it. But then that mystical

171
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: aspect of life kicks in. You know, there is a

172
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: connection between our desires and what manifests in our lives.

173
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: There is an undeniable connection between our thoughts and our experiences,

174
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: and we just haven't been thinking about the inward journey.

175
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: So the moment we go up I want more, that

176
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: opens up for ignits that mystical relationship, and we begin

177
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: to meet people turned to podcasts like Therapy for Black Girls,

178
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: and we we turn on the TV and we see

179
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: something that begins to be part of that journey that

180
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: is going to help us quiet that and let us

181
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: be present to that internal want that we've never even

182
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: given voice or focus too. Yeah, And I think that

183
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: there is a certain freedom that we only get to

184
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: that kind of a place when we really allow ourselves

185
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: the space and the time and the energy to do

186
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: some of that that you're talking about, right, Because when

187
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: you're just going, going, going, you don't ever recognize, maybe

188
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: sometimes until it's too late, that there's this whole piece

189
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: of disconnection with yourself and your true desires that might

190
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: be missing well, or, as in the case of our VI,

191
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: VI didn't some and take that inward glance right, It

192
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: was that need for the inner glance was triggered and

193
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: sometimes that's how it happens, you know, we we I

194
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: think Oprah said, once you know that, first it comes

195
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: as a whisper, then it comes, you know, as a

196
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: loud voice, and next it's a brick up aside the head, right.

197
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: And I think un I got there, uh with the

198
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: brick strategy. She she did. She she had things in place,

199
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, her ducks were in a row. And that's

200
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: why she, you know, keeps her eye on everyone in

201
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: the family as as closely as she does because as

202
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: long as everything that she loved out there was in place,

203
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: she felt that she had a handle on her life.

204
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: But that brick was Noah's book, right, Yes, and that

205
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: triggered the at inward glance. And I don't even really

206
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: think that v has yet to truly embark upon the

207
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: inward glance. I think that the brick and her really

208
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: understanding that she had to confront Jimmie Dale, I think

209
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: that that is going to open the door for her

210
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: to be a little more introspective from this point forward. Okay,

211
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: So it's interesting that you just feel like she's just

212
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: getting there, because it felt like she had been getting

213
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: there all season, right, It felt like she had been

214
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: asking for more what she needed in terms of space.

215
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: You know, she created this very firm boundary with Novah

216
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: saying you really hurt me and I just don't feel

217
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: like I can kind of be in this with you anymore.

218
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: But you're feeling like we have so much more to

219
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: see from buy now that this has happened. Well, well,

220
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's tricky because Tina Lifford and By

221
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: are two different entities. And what's fascinating is Vibe really

222
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: does live her own life. I Mean, there are times

223
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: when Tina Lifford, the actress, you know, walks on the

224
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: set with an idea of how the scene is going

225
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: to go, and By is like, oh, no, that's not it,

226
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: that's not how I feel, that's not where I'm going, right,

227
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: And then Vibe sort of takes over and I find myself,

228
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: as By, in a much more authentic place for By,

229
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, and Tina Lifford has done a lot of

230
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: work on herself, a lot of work on herself. So

231
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: for me, uh, just based upon what you said in

232
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: the ways in which I feel that Jimmy Dell triggered

233
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: so much internal confusion that Vibe was forced to just

234
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: try she needed all of her energy to just be

235
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: present to the storm that was happening inside of her.

236
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: I don't. And when I say present to it, she

237
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to figure this out. You know, she didn't.

238
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: She didn't have that experience and then go to you.

239
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: You know, she didn't. She there's a storm inside and

240
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: she doesn't know what to do and it is. What

241
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: she does know is that it has required all of

242
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: her resources because otherwise she's gonna go crazy. Yeah, And

243
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: it feels like even if we back up a bit,

244
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: like we're describing Jimmy dale As in the book as

245
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: the brick up side in the head, but it feels

246
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: like maybe the loud voice was even land season with

247
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: the loopus, right, So that was the beginning of her

248
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: having to relinquish some of all of the controls she

249
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: thought she had and kind of like surrender to this

250
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: new process. That's a very good point. That's a very

251
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: good point. But I feel like there's a difference between

252
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: a conscious you know, commitment and interested and interests in

253
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: the internal journey versus literally just trying to manage the

254
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: overwhelmed and doing It's almost like having your skin be

255
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: so sensitive that you just you can't have anybody touch you. Well,

256
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: her distance from Needing, distance from Hollywood and Nova. I

257
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: don't know that it was because she was taking care

258
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: of herself. She just didn't She can't be touched right

259
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: this moment because it's so big, m and you know,

260
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: I don't write it. So we'll see, we'll see where

261
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: the writers are gonna go with it. But I I

262
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: feel that she took a breath on those steps, right,

263
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: and then she took another breath with Nova. She took

264
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 1: three breaths, breaths, deep breaths between standing in front of

265
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: Jimmie Dale and then on the porch at the end

266
00:20:53,200 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: with Nova, right, she took three breaths. I don't know.

267
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: I think that those breaths are at the beginning and

268
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: that she will be able to invite more into her

269
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: life through those breaths. And that's more awareness. I mean,

270
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: you know, Vye has some strong lines that have been drawn.

271
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: You know, she puts people in boxes very quickly. Well,

272
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: she certainly hasn't tackled any of that stuff right, right,

273
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: So I think that in order for Bye to flower

274
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: and become um and ever more full iteration of herself,

275
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: the us of Jimmie Dale has been popped. That boil

276
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: has been popped, It is drained, it is humoring, and

277
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: now there are the habits that came along with all

278
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: of the managing around that pain that will have to

279
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: be sort of unwrappled. Yeah. Yeah, and we definitely, you know,

280
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this scene from last week's episode

281
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: with by on bias confrontation of Jimmy Dale at his

282
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: house and that kind of thing, and it just felt

283
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: like such a powerful scene, Like that whole thing. I

284
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: think you were just phenomenal throughout that episode, but it

285
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: did make me curious about like the work that you

286
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: have to do, as Tinma Lifford to get prepared to

287
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: kind of pull off such I think, an emotionally evoking

288
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: kind of experience like that. Can you talk a little

289
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: bit about your process there? I can't. I can't. I

290
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: would say that my whole interest in what I have

291
00:22:54,320 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: labeled inter fitness, right um my and inner fitness comes

292
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: from three three main sources. You know. I I say

293
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: that we all have anxiety fear, you know, her drama

294
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: trauma that's unresolved, and I had in the fifth grade

295
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: um a debilitating experience with stage fright and it created

296
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: inside of me a pattern that literally, when the phone

297
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: ring ring and and there was an audition, I would

298
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: go into a panic attack. You know. Um, I would

299
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: have great anxiety to the point that my hands would

300
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: shake trying to put my makeup on. And the blessing

301
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: is that there, and there are lots of blessings in

302
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: this experience. For me, the blessing is that I I

303
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: was reared with a true spiritual footing, and so that

304
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: spiritual footing made me no, not just believe, but no,

305
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: that I was not here to suffer, that we are

306
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: not here to suffer, that suffering comes with living, but

307
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: that our purpose was bigger than that. And because of that,

308
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: I knew enough to want to be free of this

309
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: thing that was a very habituated pattern at this point,

310
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: and I set out to be free. And freedom has

311
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: been a journey. And in that journey I had to

312
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: look at and discover all kinds of things and I

313
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: had to you know, I have always said that I'm

314
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: not a crier. I don't really cry, right, But in

315
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: the journey to freedom, I learned to cry, and I

316
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: learned to be present with inner confusion and pain. And

317
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: what I discovered in that was two really important things,

318
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: along with a bunch of other stuff. I learned that

319
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: being able to be present to my own discomfort and

320
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: pain gave me insight to everyone else on the planet.

321
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: It allowed me to be able to finally be in

322
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: someone's presence who didn't have it all together, you know,

323
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: like I had it together, like I thought I had

324
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: it together, And instead of being irritated by their own messiveness,

325
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: I could be compassionate because I had truly taken that

326
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: inner gland, become comfortable with my own and learned really

327
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: valuable strategies for moving beyond it. So it made me

328
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: a better human being and made me better allowed me

329
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: to be better in being with other people, right, um.

330
00:26:54,200 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: And so I have been delving in indeed dealing with

331
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: human emotions um through workshops, through uh A program, a

332
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: two year program called Spiritual Psychology, where literally you'd be

333
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: in a room of three to five hundred people in

334
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: different processes who would be doing their own inner work,

335
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: you know. And I became really familiar with and comfortable

336
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: with the human condition. And here's the discovery. No matter

337
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: what your thing is, pain is pain and feeling it

338
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: is the same for everyone. And so I know by right,

339
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: and I know what it means to struggle with awakening

340
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: because I was there, And I know what it means

341
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: to have something triggered inside of you that you don't

342
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: know how to deal with, and the frustration and the

343
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: pain and the world wind and the overwhelmed that comes

344
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: with that. So I have not been abused, but I

345
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: know we all have been limited by something. Yeah, we

346
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: all have allowed some some event in our lives to

347
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: stand over us and abuse us, make us feel small,

348
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: make us feel incapable, make us feel not good enough.

349
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: And I just tapped on what I'm tapped into what

350
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: I know. Yeah, I feel like say, such a beautiful

351
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: preview of the work that. So, you have an event

352
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: coming up this weekend here in Atlanta. It is your

353
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: Atlanta stop of the Inner Fitness Outer Beauty Tour. So

354
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: give us an idea of what people can expect if

355
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: they come to the event this weekend. Yeah, so the

356
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: Interfinness Outer Beauty Tour. I'll tell you that. Um, the

357
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: whole idea behind it is us having a fun way

358
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 1: to step into greater ownership of ourselves and our power.

359
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: And we've talked about the inward glance, well, what I

360
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: know for sure in my life at this point is

361
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: that having a powerful intention for your life transforms everything.

362
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: That when you can set an intention for what you want,

363
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: you absolutely create this um cosmic magnet that helps to

364
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: draw it to you. Now, what we what we don't

365
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: learn is that you know, you can set an intention

366
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: for external things, and you can set an intention for

367
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: internal things. And so we're going to start the day.

368
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: It's actually under the umbrella of disrupting the status quo,

369
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: because the way things have been done up until now

370
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: in our lives is not is not the way that

371
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: we need to do them going forward, and so disrupting

372
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: the status quo means that we are willing to absolutely

373
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: have a whole new, more powerful, more fulfilled, more awakened,

374
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: more uh a, you know, experienced iteration of ourselves come forward.

375
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: And we can do that simply by saying, Mmm, I

376
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: don't know if I have to do today the way

377
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: I did yesterday. Right, So that's the whole premise behind

378
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: the Inner Fitness Out of Beauty Tour, and we're going

379
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: to actually walk through setting an intention. Everyone will will

380
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: set their own intention so that no matter how many

381
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: people are in the room, this moment is your moment

382
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: to setting intention. And I have realized that for me

383
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: and all the intention setting that I've done in my life,

384
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: I make sure that there are five components, you know,

385
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: present in whatever intention I set. So I'm going to

386
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: share that, and you know people will set their powerful

387
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: intentions for themselves. We will go from that to understanding

388
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: how when we move into the world with these intentions,

389
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: how to incubate them and nurture them. And then we're

390
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: going to just allow ourselves. I have a really wonderful

391
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: uh I call it a gutty of a dance, but

392
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: it really one side jobs song and dance. It will

393
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: be playing in your head and it will be supporting

394
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: you and disrupting those old ways of being and making

395
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: room for something new. And they were actually going to

396
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: have a conversation around sex and sexuality, because you know,

397
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: we are our sexual beings and I don't right this

398
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: moment whatever your idea of sex and sexuality or what

399
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: I might be saying is about whatever your idea might be,

400
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: We're going to invite you to leave room for a new,

401
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: bigger idea, and then we're going to um. I've invited

402
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: on a hawk who is this wonderful yoga teacher. Now

403
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: we're not doing yoga because we're gonna be in chairs

404
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: and seats, but on A is going to show us

405
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: how to in the car wherever we are, take that

406
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: moment that is needed to bring us back to ourselves.

407
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: And then we're going to turn to my stylists. And

408
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: if you don't follow Jay Bolan, then you should because

409
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: he is mastiful at what he does. And we love

410
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,919
Speaker 1: we love looking good, we love feeling good. And when

411
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: we do the inner work, that gives us permission to

412
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: again disrupt the status quo on the outside. And so

413
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: who are you today? Not? Who have you been up

414
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: until now? Well? How might that impact you the next

415
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: time you go to your closet? How might that impact

416
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: you the next time you walk into a meeting? And

417
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: so we are going to take a look at fashion

418
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: in through the lens of our awakening self and um

419
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: dressing our spirit, owning our style, and loving our body.

420
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: And that's going to be our very I think it's

421
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 1: a short day because my retreats are like three days, right,

422
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: So this is going to be the doors open at

423
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: nine o'clock and tennis clock Shark. We will get started

424
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 1: and the day will end very close to three o'clock

425
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: and then we have vendors and the whole intention is

426
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: for us to bond in the idea of what's possible

427
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: for our lives. Oh my gosh, this sounds amazing, like

428
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: a transformational experience. I think it will be incredible. Yes, yes,

429
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: I want it to be. That is my intention. I

430
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: don't know how you can walk away from and not

431
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: feeling just open to the possibilities and thinking new things

432
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,839
