00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome to your favorite podcast, Cheeky's and Chill.

2
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for taking some time out of

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: your day to listen to my podcast. It means so

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: much to me, so thank you. I'm so happy that

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: you're here. Like all my platforms, including social media and

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: even through my music, I tried to use it for good.

7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what it is, music, my books, my skincare

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: anything and everything. I always wanted to have some type

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: of meaning behind it, a message for you guys, to

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: inspire you to be your best self. And of course,

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: if you follow me on social media, I'm always posting devotionals,

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: quote anything that helps me. So I want to help you,

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: and I know it could be hard because with social media,

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: I've noticed myself that people want drama or sexiness. I

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: have noticed in the past few years that the more

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: positive things I post, the less likes or views. It's

17
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: always the more sexy stuff or the drama that gets

18
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: more attention. So I wanted to talk about that and

19
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: how to use your platform for good. All right, So

20
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: where do I start? The reason why I wanted to

21
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: talk about this social media and the responsibility that we

22
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: have because social media is everything that's how we get

23
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: our news, our current events. We know what's going on

24
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: in people's lives. There really isn't any more privacy unless

25
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: you're very intentional about it and adamant about being more private.

26
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: And I have tried to be a little bit more

27
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: private now, especially with my relationship or certain things. I'm like,

28
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to share as much on social media,

29
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: and not even because I'm trying, it just has happened.

30
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: I think being with someone like a media who's a

31
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: little bit more reserved, who isn't so much on social

32
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: media has helped me out and being a little bit

33
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: more present, not having that need to record everything and

34
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: share everything. And if I do share it secretly, you guys,

35
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: I do it one or two days after, not in

36
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: like the moment, and I feel better. I feel better.

37
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: I did go through like a little sour sweet and

38
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: sour I should say time or moment with social media

39
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: because I felt a little disappointed, for the lack of

40
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: a better word, I wasn't really jiving with it because

41
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: I felt like the things that I was posting. I

42
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: don't know if it's the algorithm, especially on Instagram, guys,

43
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: but things are changing and I was like, you know what,

44
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop post as much. I'm going to stop

45
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: sharing because I felt that I wasn't getting the feedback,

46
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: I guess, or the reaction or even the engagement that

47
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: I had been getting. But I think it's because I'm

48
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: also changing. I'm becoming more of my authentic self. But

49
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: at that time, I was disappointed because I'm like, what

50
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: is going on? Am I losing my mojo sort of thing?

51
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: But I had to just kind of switch my mind

52
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, my social media is my

53
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: social media, it is a blessing. I have never bought

54
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: one follower, you guys. I've never bought any likes. I've

55
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: never bought any views. And that started making me feel

56
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: really good because I know that a lot of people

57
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: do that, and that is their prerogative, that is their business.

58
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: But I take a lot of pride in not even

59
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: on YouTube, you guys, Have I ever said, Okay, I'm

60
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna buy for one hundred I know, one hundred million views.

61
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: I've never gotten a hundred million views. But you know,

62
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: I feel I like things to grow organically, and I

63
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: want to know that the people that are liking myself

64
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: and viewing my stuff are the people that want to,

65
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: that want to consume what I'm giving, And that makes

66
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: me feel good. If people have muted me or unfollowed

67
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: me because I'm too positive or I'm this or I'm that,

68
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: and maybe it comes off as fake to them because

69
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: I post my God mornings, and trust me, if I

70
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: don't feel like posting a God Morning, I won't post it.

71
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,559
Speaker 1: If I don't feel like a quote hits my heart

72
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: or I feel like I want to share it because

73
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 1: it's so good, I want people to know I won't

74
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: do it. Everything is very organic on my social media.

75
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: That's a promise that I've made to myself because again,

76
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: I want the people that are following me to be

77
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: organic followers. And if they were used to the way

78
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: I ran my social media before and they don't like

79
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: me anymore or want to follow me, I'm totally fine

80
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: with that. I came to peace with that because it

81
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: was affecting me and I was like, why am I

82
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: letting numbers affect me? Like, oh, I'm not getting as

83
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: many likes or I'm not getting as many views, or

84
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, the retention isn't there anymore? Who cares? Like,

85
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: as long as I'm helping one person because that is

86
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: what I that is my mission, and so be it.

87
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: Mind you, this is just a side note because the

88
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: reason I really wanted to talk about social media was

89
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: because when everything was happening with the fires, I was

90
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: very disappointed. It was very disheartening for me to see

91
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: people that I support, that I care about, that live

92
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: in my same city, that have a lot of influence,

93
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: that they did not care at all, and it just

94
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: really turned me off. I even unfollowed a few people

95
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: because of it. I'm just very passionate about certain things.

96
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm a very passionate person, and when that was happening, guys,

97
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: it affected I mean, I saw a lot of crazy

98
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: shit that people were saying, a lot of really nasty

99
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: you know, like that's good la. People deserve it, you know,

100
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: all the things that happen in Hollywood, and this is

101
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: why they're being punished. It's just so many things that

102
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: it was so sad, and still people are being affected

103
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: and have been affected by it. And anyway, my point

104
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: is there were people that did not post, that did

105
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: not care, that just went about their life because they

106
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: weren't being directly affected, and that pisses me. Off because

107
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: I truly believe this is my opinion that if God

108
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: has given you this platform and has given you talents

109
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: or even the talent of people wanting to watch you

110
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: and listen to you, you could post whatever you want,

111
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: even if it is you and a thong. But also

112
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: there has to be some substance. In my opinion, there

113
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: has to be also a way of giving back to

114
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: the people that purchase or support your businesses, or support

115
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: your music, or support you by going to your concerts.

116
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: And yes, I'm talking about artists, I'm talking about influencers,

117
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: people that have a lot of following, people that sell

118
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: and sell and sell every single day on their social media.

119
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: And while we were going through this, didn't post one

120
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: thing about, hey, my prayers go out to the people

121
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: that are being affected. To me, that is a huge

122
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: no no for me, which is why I decided to

123
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: unfollow some people. And That's where I'm at right now, Like,

124
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: if your social media is not giving me something to

125
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: feel good about, I'm done. I'm done pretending. If I'm

126
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: not ready to unfollow you, I'm gonna mute you. And

127
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: now I'm more of like I'm just gonna unfollow because

128
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: I also want to make sure that what's on my

129
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: feed and what pops up on my feed is something

130
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna make me feel good and make me want

131
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: to be a better person. And that's just my opinion.

132
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: That is just what I want to do. That is

133
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: my choice, And I just wanted to share this with

134
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: you guys because again, my podcast is my safe place,

135
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: and because I also want you guys to think about

136
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: what you're putting out there. What do you want to

137
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: be known for? What do you want to give back

138
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: with your platform. It's a huge responsibility. Social media isn't

139
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: all bad, and I don't want to say it because

140
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: it's helped me a lot, and I'm very grateful for

141
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: my platform. I'm grateful that I'm able to sell my skincare,

142
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: that I'm able to share my thoughts and my opinions

143
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: with you guys and the things that I'm passionate about.

144
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: And it's a blessing, which is why I do my

145
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: best to take care of what I have and what

146
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: I've been given and the blessing and give back in

147
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: any way that I possibly can. And I think it's

148
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: important to just keep things flowing and paying it forward

149
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: to do that, to keep that energy going. And it's

150
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: just it's kind of sad because I see that the

151
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: attention span is getting shorter and shorter, and I'm worried.

152
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: It kind of worries me a little bit for generations

153
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: to come, and which is why I'm like, I am

154
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: so adamant about being myself and sharing whatever the heck

155
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: I want to share that is going to help other people.

156
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: And I do a lot of notes to myself on

157
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: there as well, because I'm like, Okay, I need to

158
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: remember this and this is not just for other people

159
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: or saying I'm perfect, Like no, A lot of the

160
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: things that I post are to remind myself. And when

161
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm having a bad day, guys, I freaking say it,

162
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I'm not feeling good. Have

163
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: you guys been feeling the same energy, or I'm in

164
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: a bad mood or someone piss me off. Like I

165
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: want to be completely organic and one hundred percent honest

166
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: with you guys, in transparent and anything that I do,

167
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: especially on my social media, because that's how you guys

168
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: get to know me. But also I do feel like

169
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: I need to hold on to the little substance that

170
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: there is, which is why I've been trying to consume

171
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: and follow different type of people. And if I've unfollowed you,

172
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: please don't get offended. And if you have a question,

173
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: ask me. I am praying you, guys for someone to

174
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: send me a DM that iun followed, Like, Hey, you

175
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: unfollowed me? Is there a reason? I want to have

176
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: a discussion about it, Like I want to be able

177
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: to tell them. Maybe they haven't even noticed, maybe they

178
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: don't even care, but I want to be able to

179
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: tell people. Some people I stop them following because they

180
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: don't post or I haven't they haven't come across my

181
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: feed in a long time, and I'm like, okay, well

182
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: maybe we're just not meshing, so I'll unfollow. But there

183
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: are other people where I'm like, there's a huge reason

184
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: why I unfollowed, and I would love for them to

185
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: ask me. I would love it because I want to

186
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: have these deep conversations with people and hopefully wake them

187
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: up and say hey, like, this can be taken away

188
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: from you at any time. Right now, you feel like

189
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: you're on top of the world, and you know you're

190
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: thriving and your business is doing amazing, but dude, show

191
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: some love, even if it hadn't happened in La Guys,

192
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm still the type of person anything that happens in

193
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: the world that I'm aware of, because there's some things

194
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: that happened and I don't even know. But I'm like,

195
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to use my platform to help people, to

196
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: help small businesses, to uplift women and men, to help

197
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: in relationships, to show you, guys that I understand. You know,

198
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: even when the fires happened in MAUI like, I was

199
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: devastated because I'm like, oh my goodness, guys, like this

200
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: this is going to affect us in so many ways

201
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: that maybe people don't even realize. It was such a

202
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: crazy time and it felt so heavy in my heart,

203
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: and I appreciate everyone that posted and reached out and helped.

204
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: I did love seeing how people came together when I

205
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: went out and helped and volunteered. I saw how the

206
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: community came together and they were helping each other and

207
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: didn't even know one another. It was beautiful. But then again,

208
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: there's always another side to things, which is why I'm

209
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: doing this podcast because I did see that a lot

210
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: of people that I admire, that I again, that I admire,

211
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: that I care about, that I support, did not give

212
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: an f and they were just going about their business

213
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,599
Speaker 1: like nothing was happening in the world. And I'm like, hello,

214
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: so many people lost their homes. Imagine God forbid it

215
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: would have been them. I don't know, huge turn off.

216
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: And you know, guys, I've been thinking does this have

217
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: to do with my age and the place that I'm in?

218
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: And I thought about it, and I always do these

219
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: heart checks. I'm like, Okay, where is my heart? Where's

220
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: my mind? I do this thing right? But no, if

221
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: I think back, I think it's just part of my personality.

222
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: My brother Mikey always makes fun of me. He's like, oh,

223
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: here you go with your positive shit. But even though

224
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: he's joking, but I think there must be people out

225
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: there that think that way, and that's fine. And again,

226
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: maybe my social media isn't for everyone. We talked about

227
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: this on an episode with Dramas guys about finding your

228
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: life purpose. My life purpose, I have it very clear.

229
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: It really is changing the world one harder at a time.

230
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: And that's why I use my platform the way I

231
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: use it. And maybe that's not your you don't feel

232
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: like that's your purpose, and that's okay, But it just

233
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: feels so much better. Guys, to give more light and

234
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: more love and more light content, even funny stuff. I

235
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: love watching comedian stuff. I'm not saying that everything on

236
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: social media is bad, but if there's constantly someone that's

237
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: in drama and fighting and all this stuff, I'm just like, dude,

238
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: there's just for me, too much darkness there. I'm gonna

239
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: mute you because I like you as a person, but

240
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't really like what you post on social media because,

241
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: believe it or not, there are people that I like

242
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: in real life but I don't like on social media,

243
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: and I won't say who. But I'm like, dude, the

244
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: person that I see and that I talk to and

245
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: that I enjoy in real life, I don't know if

246
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: that's really you or you're portraying your real self or

247
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: your true authentic self on social media. And that's one

248
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: thing that I have told myself. I want to be

249
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: myself in person on social media. I want people to

250
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: know me for me, and I want people to love

251
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: me for me, for my good or for my bad

252
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: or if I annoy you, then I annoy you, and

253
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: it is what it is. But I think this has

254
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: been me since forever. I mean. I remember driving my

255
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: little Scion, one of my first cars, and I was

256
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: so into recycling and I would write on my car reduce, reuse, recycle,

257
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: save the world, save the planet, and I would drive

258
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: around the city and Corona okay with these colorful ass markers.

259
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: Although for my car, my mom thought I was crazy.

260
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: But I've always been this person that I'm like, okay

261
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: if I have, even if people didn't know who I was.

262
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: Back then, i was just little Jane living in Corona,

263
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: helping her mom out, and I felt very passionate about

264
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: helping the earth and saving the earth. So I've always

265
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: been this person. Now I just have this platform, and

266
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: now even more so, I feel I want to help

267
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: in any way that I possibly can. So it doesn't

268
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: matter if you're this popular person or influencer or not.

269
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: I just think you need to know what you want

270
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: to leave in this world, what you want to leave behind,

271
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: and let that show through your social media whatever that is.

272
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: If it is booty shaking videos, so be it. I've

273
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: done it too. I do it too. I love shaking

274
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: my booty, I love dancing. I'm not saying that I'm

275
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,239
Speaker 1: like this perfect angel. I cuss, I mess up sometimes,

276
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: but ninety percent of the time, I'm like, I want

277
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: to be a light in the world and I want

278
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: to shine my light in the world and help other people.

279
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: And if I make a mistake, I'll say it too.

280
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: But I think we just need to have that clear

281
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: and that comes with part of finding your life purpose,

282
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: whatever that may be. So if you haven't heard that

283
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: episode of the Dramas, it was amazing, listen to that

284
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: episode here chi chill, guys, and maybe that'll help you

285
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. Again, I'm not trying to make anyone

286
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: feel bad at all, but I'm just again, We've been

287
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: talking about this whole shifting thing since last year, in

288
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: like November October, and I really just want to be

289
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more vocal without offending people or without

290
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: having the need to say names, but talk about things

291
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: that I'm very passionate about, things that I'm realizing myself,

292
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: so that I can share them with you guys and

293
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: hopefully inspire you. You know, this podcast is all about

294
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: helping you become your best self and inspiring you to

295
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: become your best self, because that's the journey I'm on.

296
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: Every single day. I try my best. Some days are

297
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: better than others. But I do feel that social media

298
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: is taking over everything and it's a good thing and

299
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: it could be a bad thing, but also the choice

300
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: is yours. So now I notice a bunch of motivational

301
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: stuff comes up on my popular page, because that's what

302
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: I've been like wanting, I've been searching, you know, So

303
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: it's just fruit for thought, guys, and nothing more than that.

304
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: And a lot of people were asking, and we're very

305
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: curious to know who I was talking about during that

306
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: time in January when the fires were happening, about who

307
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: I had n't followed and who had disappointed me. But again,

308
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessary to say any names, Like

309
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: I have love for these people, but I choose to

310
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: love them from afar and just kind of cup ties

311
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: and just say, hey, it is what it is and

312
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: we're just not the same people anymore, and that's okay too.

313
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: And someone also asked me if I had reached out

314
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: to anyone that I had unfollowed or that weren't necessarily

315
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: posting or you know, let's just you know, talking about

316
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: the fires, because that's what we've been talking about on

317
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: this on this episode. But I I did not reach

318
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: out to anyone personally. I did notice that they watched

319
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: my video and then posted, and I was happy about that,

320
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: but I did not reach out to anyone personally. I

321
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: probably should have. Maybe I want to get better at that, guys.

322
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: I do want to get better at telling people in

323
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: a respectful way if something bothers me, to let them

324
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: know and also give them the opportunity to respond and

325
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: not necessarily defend themselves, but defend their point of view.

326
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: I do want to get better with that, because it's fair,

327
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: it's only fair. Maybe I will, maybe I will send

328
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: them a message and let them know. Hey, I don't

329
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: know if you've noticed, but I unfollowed you because of

330
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: X Y and Z, and you know, maybe there will

331
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: be some healing and some realization on both of our

332
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: parts with having that conversation. And yeah, so that's all.

333
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: That's it for this episode, guys. I I hope that

334
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: this resonates with you and also gives you some clarity

335
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: on maybe some questions or concerns that you guys had.

336
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't like drama. I don't want drama, and I'm

337
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: not trying to cause any issues with anyone. This is

338
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: just again my personal opinion and what I want to

339
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: do with my social media because I have it very

340
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: clear what my mission in this world is and what

341
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 1: my purpose in life is, and that with time. You guys,

342
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: that's another thing I wanted to mention. Your purpose doesn't

343
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: have to stay the same forever. Things can change or

344
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: they can look a little different. I mean, I don't

345
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: know if we mentioned that in the episode with Dramas,

346
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: but again, listen to it. It's a really good one.

347
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's it. Thank you guys so much for listening.

348
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,719
Speaker 1: So since I just get on here and I just

349
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: want to talk to you guys, and things just flow

350
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: out of my heart and I don't even really prepare

351
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: and I feel like this was one of those episodes

352
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: where I'm just speaking to you from my heart to

353
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: yours and hopefully it just inspires you to do things

354
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: differently or or not. Whatever the case, I still love
