Speaker 1: Calling all my sweeties to the forefront. I'm your host,
Speaker 1: christ and this is the keeping positive guys. We did it.
Speaker 1: Season eleven is officially wrapped, crazy.
Speaker 2: And now we're.
Speaker 3: Sitting here trying to figure out how to recap it all,
Speaker 3: which was harder than producing this season andself.
Speaker 1: Actually, and you did a.
Speaker 4: Great job with that, Shelly, Yes, for you know, so good.
Speaker 1: Nobody was it was. I feel like it was really
Speaker 1: tough because originally I wanted you like a reunion style recap,
Speaker 1: and then I was like, no, we need to sit down,
Speaker 1: we need to talk about It was so many clips
Speaker 1: and I realized I just want to talk about our
Speaker 1: favorite moments.
Speaker 5: Way.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But then when I watch everything back, I realized
Speaker 1: that I was picking up new things from every conversation.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, that's production though.
Speaker 6: You know we're present during the filming days and yeah,
Speaker 6: you know, we're just in a different mode. But then
Speaker 6: a lot of times you get to thinking about patterns
Speaker 6: of like, okay, what can we change, what can we do?
Speaker 6: And then the guest conversation. Some people are coming in
Speaker 6: for deeper conversations, some people are coming for hearings, some
Speaker 6: people are coming for purpose. You know, it's just it's
Speaker 6: a great space and I feel like, you know, you
Speaker 6: embodied that the.
Speaker 1: Whole sees man. I appreciate that, Thank you, but you're
Speaker 1: absolutely right. You know. Rewatching made me realize that people
Speaker 1: come in for one thing, but then the conversation takes
Speaker 1: a turn into something way bigger than I think any
Speaker 1: of us could imagine. I always look behind the camera
Speaker 1: and I'll see a Shina's hand like, and I was like,
Speaker 1: the church is saying amen, Shelley nodding. Yeah. So I
Speaker 1: feel like to see it in real time, even though
Speaker 1: we're present, to see the impact that the conversations are
Speaker 1: having when they may just come in for a book,
Speaker 1: or come in to talk about the movie they're doing,
Speaker 1: or just their journey, to see how it resonates what
Speaker 1: it's all in real time is really cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's why they resonate, because it's
Speaker 3: a reminder that they are human just like us and
Speaker 3: we all have similar experiences. And I think that's why
Speaker 3: people come to keep a politicsty exactly.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I love that our guests they show up in more
Speaker 1: ways than we expected them to, and looking back, I
Speaker 1: realized that we're not just documenting conversations. We're literally documenting
Speaker 1: people in the middle of their becoming, you know, and
Speaker 1: I think that's what made the season so special, you know.
Speaker 1: So let's check out some clips.
Speaker 7: When it comes to knowing, like when God gives you
Speaker 7: something and you know it even when people around you
Speaker 7: don't get it. People you love, trust and respect. That's
Speaker 7: why you got to cultivate that. Yes, because there's something
Speaker 7: that God sees that he's revealing to you that if
Speaker 7: you honor it against the naysayers, it's gonna set you
Speaker 7: up for success.
Speaker 8: It will not always be easy, but it also will
Speaker 8: not always be hard. That is what has been foundationally
Speaker 8: true for me. Yeah, and I'm always so clear that
Speaker 8: my heart has a timeline, but my good is for
Speaker 8: like it is always her current is always running, and
Speaker 8: so there are moments when those trying days feel louder
Speaker 8: than the good days. But the good is omnipresent. If
Speaker 8: we can shift our mindsets to believe that the goodness
Speaker 8: is omnipresent.
Speaker 9: We've never given up on each other. At the same time, relationships,
Speaker 9: the best of relationships, aren't perfect relationships. Sometimes you're here
Speaker 9: and sometimes you're here, and it may all be in
Speaker 9: the same day, but that friendship.
Speaker 2: Sometimes the same hour.
Speaker 1: I was dating selfishly.
Speaker 10: I wasn't dating like I had a kid, Like I
Speaker 10: was dating based off of how you made me feel.
Speaker 10: I wasn't even worried about, like whether they were good
Speaker 10: with kids or not, whether they could have a discussion
Speaker 10: with a kid, whether they could you know, get to
Speaker 10: know my child or not.
Speaker 1: If you were.
Speaker 10: Doing something to make me feel good, you know, whether
Speaker 10: that was sex, just conversation because I didn't like to
Speaker 10: be alone.
Speaker 1: Whatever it was.
Speaker 10: If I felt like you were doing something for me, fine,
Speaker 10: you were good in my book, and.
Speaker 11: That's how I am. I'm like that too. It's just
Speaker 11: like I do. It's people that I do genuinely miss Yeah,
Speaker 11: like I missed them. I missed the relationship we had.
Speaker 11: I missed them. But I'm so cool. So yo, I
Speaker 11: am so, But I am so cool, And it's fine,
Speaker 11: Like yo, I wish you the best. I wish you
Speaker 11: the best, but I am so. I am so. I'm
Speaker 11: a thousand percent cool cool with you.
Speaker 12: Think about the stuff on you had your first Nokia
Speaker 12: properly ye with the little snake, and think about the
Speaker 12: iPhone you have probably right now. Imagine if you went
Speaker 12: from that phone to the iPhone with nothing in between.
Speaker 11: Wow.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and that's what happens in marriage.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 12: You gotta every phone, every update, you gotta learn this
Speaker 12: new and just iPhone enough headphone jackal, dang, I ain't
Speaker 12: got that. Now I gotta get air pods and now
Speaker 12: I gotta charge this Now this thing used to not
Speaker 12: be there from the Nokia Snake when we started dating
Speaker 12: to the iPhone seventeen.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 12: If I wasn't up to date on every and think
Speaker 12: about how little the changes feel at the time, it's
Speaker 12: just like, oh, dang, man, Yeah.
Speaker 5: I used to be with you.
Speaker 12: We used to take pictures. They used to be grainy
Speaker 12: all that stuff. Now you can shoot. There's a new
Speaker 12: app you can do a shot recording.
Speaker 4: I just saw that black on too, man.
Speaker 1: I saw that that didn't exist.
Speaker 5: Yeah, two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: That was so good. You guys. You know what's really funny.
Speaker 1: I don't remember the order in which these conversations happened,
Speaker 1: but I remember how they made me feel. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, that's really like I don't remember like the day,
Speaker 2: the time, any of that, but I know.
Speaker 13: Like, oh boom, that was a back there. We'd be
Speaker 13: back there.
Speaker 3: Like yeah, like all the Yeah, it's.
Speaker 6: Been several film of days when I'm like, oh man, okay,
Speaker 6: that was good. But then like days later it's like,
Speaker 6: oh it hit me in my life or hit me somewhere,
Speaker 6: and I'm like wow, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 3: And a lot of the conversations that we have or
Speaker 3: the interviews that we have, they don't stop when we
Speaker 3: all cut. They keep going and we keep talking and
Speaker 3: it stays with us.
Speaker 1: No, for sure. I want to ask you guys something
Speaker 1: out of all the conversations and interviews we had this season,
Speaker 1: what is the one moment that sticks out to you
Speaker 1: the most?
Speaker 5: I know?
Speaker 2: For me, Tiffany willis with the on your narrative, which
Speaker 2: she said like she's the window as her refrigerator, and
Speaker 2: like it's her the window.
Speaker 13: Still it is her refrigerator. They keep her baby's bottle.
Speaker 2: Worn, and her whole conversation she was not a victim,
Speaker 2: which anyone in that situation could have just taken it
Speaker 2: and made them like your parents get you out when
Speaker 2: you was fourteen, pregnant all these things, but she just
Speaker 2: like really showed so much gratitude throughout her whole story,
Speaker 2: So that really resonated with me, and that was one
Speaker 2: of our earlier shows, so I like the tone that
Speaker 2: it said. But even in my own life, it was
Speaker 2: things can be worse, but things can also get better.
Speaker 1: It's your perspective exactly. I love that, and I love
Speaker 1: that she wasn't asking anyone to feel sorry for her.
Speaker 1: She was honored where she came from and at a
Speaker 1: very young age too, And to see who she's become
Speaker 1: today is Yeah.
Speaker 6: I remember me and Shelley being on a production pre
Speaker 6: production call with her and just listen to her story
Speaker 6: and just listen to her like bio and just like
Speaker 6: hold on, this is going to be something.
Speaker 5: And then we didn't get everything on a.
Speaker 6: Pre pro call. But I loved that episode too, But
Speaker 6: my favorite was tore pt Listen said. He challenged the
Speaker 6: conversation like we spent a lot of time, you know,
Speaker 6: thinking about what lane were supposed to stay in, and
Speaker 6: he completely challenged that. Like he talked about the purpose
Speaker 6: being something that follows you, you know, something that's not
Speaker 6: something that's attached to a job.
Speaker 5: That really resonated with me as a man.
Speaker 3: I think it resonated with a lot of the Sweeties
Speaker 3: and everyone who watches online because like you said purpose
Speaker 3: isn't just career based, and I think he gave all
Speaker 3: of us who have many career aspirations or many skill
Speaker 3: sets the permission to chase them all and not stay
Speaker 3: stuck in a box. And I know you shouldn't testify
Speaker 3: on my street as.
Speaker 1: Past and Darius would say. I felt that personally because
Speaker 1: with everything I have going on with acting, rs, the
Speaker 1: merch producing everything, singing, singing, of the things that I've
Speaker 1: questioned myself, am I I've questioned myself if I'm doing
Speaker 1: too much sometimes, you know, And I believe this conversation
Speaker 1: definitely reminded me that purpose is not always linear. You know,
Speaker 1: It's gonna come layered and you just got to go
Speaker 1: with the flow and go For me, I always go
Speaker 1: with where I am and what really resonates with me
Speaker 1: in that season. I don't try to force and I
Speaker 1: love purpose follows you. I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: get lost in chasing purpose, but like knowing that when
Speaker 1: you are walking in it, it's what's following behind you
Speaker 1: is what you're leaving, you know. Yeah, you know conversation
Speaker 1: I felt that myself.
Speaker 3: I think the sweeties also really enjoyed Karrisha, Yes, there
Speaker 3: was a lot of conversation going into Kresha and having
Speaker 3: her on the show we had on the live show
Speaker 3: at the Black Effec Podcast Festival, and there was a
Speaker 3: lot of conversation about you know, what you guys would
Speaker 3: talk about, and even she was a little concerned about
Speaker 3: how she fit into the Keep It Positive Sweetie Show.
Speaker 3: But I think one thing that you have coin is
Speaker 3: that no one's too far from God. And even in
Speaker 3: her conversation about her journey, her career journey as a
Speaker 3: podcaster and a business owner, her life journey, she also
Speaker 3: reflected on her relationship with God, and I think that
Speaker 3: that is also a testament of you know, everyone has
Speaker 3: their own faith walk and no one is too far
Speaker 3: from God. And I think our sweeties took a lot
Speaker 3: from from her conversation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. I really enjoyed our conversation. I
Speaker 1: remember she walked up to me backstage and she was like,
Speaker 1: I am so nervous because one thing I know is
Speaker 1: that the Sweeties are going to support whoever we're talking to,
Speaker 1: and she felt that they were talking right back to her,
Speaker 1: you know, and it made her feel really good. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think people got to see a version of
Speaker 3: her that you don't always see publicly, and I think
Speaker 3: that's something that we all appreciate about this particular show
Speaker 3: is like you get a version of of the guests
Speaker 3: that you don't typically see in any other interview. It
Speaker 3: feels like a safe space that feels like home. And
Speaker 3: I think we got that with Karsia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, definitely.
Speaker 5: That's like just too.
Speaker 6: It just came in with one conversation playing somewhere along
Speaker 6: the way, you know.
Speaker 5: Like she started feeling like I started tears.
Speaker 6: We was pulling out clean next or whatnot, but about
Speaker 6: explaining why instead of like her parenting from fear, you know,
Speaker 6: like it's always uh.
Speaker 5: The rule of the issue or the root of somewhere.
Speaker 6: So you know, I think that her book really like
Speaker 6: took it to a place, and I think you the
Speaker 6: conversation sitting on that couch, you know, you kind of
Speaker 6: brought her somewhere else, like she felt safer.
Speaker 12: Sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And these interviews they just like take a life
Speaker 2: of their own. When people come in here, it's not
Speaker 2: even where they think they're going to do.
Speaker 13: So I love that too.
Speaker 2: It's like you come in here talking about one thing
Speaker 2: and then actually you unveil a whole bunch of other.
Speaker 1: Stuff that's real, like think about Toy and Red. When
Speaker 1: they came on, I was like, Okay, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be an hour long conversation about marriage. You know what
Speaker 1: you deal with in that union. And I love thinking
Speaker 1: about peace.
Speaker 5: And healing and connection.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like when when Rid said we were so quick
Speaker 6: to correct instead of connect, it took me to listen.
Speaker 6: I took that with me, not just in relationship but
Speaker 6: in business, you know.
Speaker 3: And read being super honest and transparent about his journey
Speaker 3: and uh therapy.
Speaker 2: Yes, I was to hear and then how it got
Speaker 2: her in the therapy, and I think it was good
Speaker 2: to kind of hear her say how she would had
Speaker 2: to step back even in this age, and stop trying
Speaker 2: to please people.
Speaker 13: And do all these things for people. So it was
Speaker 13: it was refreshing.
Speaker 2: Like you said, we thought we weld just hear about
Speaker 2: their marriage, but we're also hearing about them still being
Speaker 2: cultivated and still growing in their marriage. So we saw
Speaker 2: them be a union but also not losing themselves contilue
Speaker 2: to find themselves.
Speaker 13: So that was a chef's pie.
Speaker 1: I love that conversation exactly, and I think that's while
Speaker 1: I love this season so much. They didn't give us
Speaker 1: surface level of conversations. They really left us with pieces
Speaker 1: of them, you know, and showed us themselves, and those
Speaker 1: are the moments that stay with us for sure. Let's
Speaker 1: take a look at that.
Speaker 14: The window seals refrigerator was because I didn't have a refrigerator.
Speaker 14: I couldn't afford one. I was just happy not to
Speaker 14: be homeless anymore, and so being able to put my
Speaker 14: son's milk on a window seal just to keep it
Speaker 14: cold to me. Other people probably thought it was poverty.
Speaker 14: For me, it was actually progress.
Speaker 7: The challenging part about being in a cocoon is that
Speaker 7: you don't know it. And sometimes I imagine, like the caterpillar.
Speaker 7: I don't know if caterpillars have caterpillar school right where
Speaker 7: there's a nice little whiteboard in the background. I listen,
Speaker 7: you getting ready to go through something, right, It's gonna
Speaker 7: be real dark, You're gonna be real disoriented. In fact,
Speaker 7: your whole sense of who you were, whole sense of identity,
Speaker 7: how you move about, how you navigate, how you get around,
Speaker 7: all of that is going to come to a complete
Speaker 7: stop and you're going to be in darkness and then
Speaker 7: you're actually going to turn into this little mush. But
Speaker 7: when it's all over, when it's all over, you're going
Speaker 7: to become something that you couldn't have even fathom becoming.
Speaker 1: You didn't have the capacity.
Speaker 7: So if the cocoon could talk, that's what the cocoon
Speaker 7: could tell you. And we find ourselves in cocoons. It's
Speaker 7: when God knows that we have to become something else,
Speaker 7: that the version of who we are right now does
Speaker 7: not match the calling, the purpose, the environment, the destiny
Speaker 7: that you're assigned to.
Speaker 2: Learning to come together and operate as one.
Speaker 11: It's work, but I think one of the biggest things
Speaker 11: with us, and I think both of us had kind
Speaker 11: of an issue with it that we all got better
Speaker 11: with it was and it's crazy. I saw it today
Speaker 11: when I was researching. We were so quick to correct
Speaker 11: each other instead of focusing on connecting like it was
Speaker 11: all like for me, I speak for me. I'm real
Speaker 11: big on if I don't understand something, I debate with
Speaker 11: you because I want you to show me where you're
Speaker 11: coming from. You know what, I want you to show
Speaker 11: me where you're coming from. But over the years, with
Speaker 11: therapy and I get it from. I used to have
Speaker 11: a group of very successful guys and we always talked
Speaker 11: and it's always debates, debates, and we called the iron
Speaker 11: sharpening on iron, like we're debating about this, we're debating
Speaker 11: about this, but you're showing me. You're showing me where
Speaker 11: you're coming from, and you're understanding and you're articulating it.
Speaker 11: And then over with therapy, I had to figure out
Speaker 11: what my people, with my village and stuff like that.
Speaker 11: It's not necessarily always good because they they're not gonna
Speaker 11: get it. And instead of debating and instead of trying
Speaker 11: to correct, all right, you got it, how can we
Speaker 11: connect and how can we do that? And I think
Speaker 11: that was one of the things that we fought with
Speaker 11: and got better over the years.
Speaker 15: Every time somebody tell me I can't do something, I
Speaker 15: do it. I'm like one of God's favorite. Like when
Speaker 15: they say no, he'd be like in another one, in
Speaker 15: another one. Now you're in BMF. Now you're doing this.
Speaker 15: Now you're doing that. So I think that it's like
Speaker 15: I don't even look at it no more. It's just
Speaker 15: like my God got me.
Speaker 4: God, It's like watch this, yes, watch this.
Speaker 10: Even when I didn't know how to pray right, because
Speaker 10: my mom has always done that for us, you know,
Speaker 10: her kids, is what I mean by us, Like, but
Speaker 10: she she didn't teach just how to pray. I just
Speaker 10: had to get that one day. Even when I didn't
Speaker 10: know how to, always knew that I could talk to God.
Speaker 10: That's one thing that she did always tell us talk
Speaker 10: to him. Your prayer does not have to be perfect.
Speaker 1: You don't have to. There's no script.
Speaker 10: You don't have to get it right. He's not looking
Speaker 10: for you to come to him perfectly. If you stumble
Speaker 10: over your words, it's okay. You know, you keep talking,
Speaker 10: he hears you. That's how. That's how I did. Or
Speaker 10: I would go and I don't care where I was.
Speaker 10: I would be in my car, I would go. And
Speaker 10: if I was because even if I was at work
Speaker 10: like McDonald's, I go in the bathroom and talk to God,
Speaker 10: I would. I would talk to him anywhere where I
Speaker 10: would be alone and by myself, like off to a corner.
Speaker 1: That's honestly, really how I got through it.
Speaker 10: And you know, I feel like that's cliche because people
Speaker 10: say it, but like, no, that's that's real.
Speaker 1: It's like I would really talk.
Speaker 10: To him and then in talking to him and going
Speaker 10: to him because there was nothing that I would never
Speaker 10: take to him. Yeah, he showed me how to pray
Speaker 10: God had told me, taught me how to talk to
Speaker 10: him in a way where I can.
Speaker 1: Teach my children.
Speaker 11: I've been going to therapyt.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 2: He kind of got me into because at first, like
Speaker 2: very cliche. I need a therapist, so I want to
Speaker 2: see my whatever. But he's been doing it since I
Speaker 2: met her.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I go because, like you just spoke on earlier,
Speaker 11: I don't tell my friends and family stuff, especially about
Speaker 11: my relationship, like I don't.
Speaker 16: I don't.
Speaker 11: I don't do that. Like my friends can't tell you.
Speaker 11: Not one of my friends can tell you our deepest
Speaker 11: problem or anything like that surface level, like they know
Speaker 11: what I'm going through a business, family or whatever. But
Speaker 11: if it's dealing with me and my wife, they can't
Speaker 11: tell They can't tell you what. They can't tell you that.
Speaker 11: So what I do. I go to therapy and I
Speaker 11: have an unbiased voice that I can talk to and
Speaker 11: unload and like some therapy sessions, I kid you not,
Speaker 11: some therapy sessions. My therapy is to say one say
Speaker 11: two words, go and then the last word, stop and between,
Speaker 11: and all I do is talk.
Speaker 1: You know what gets me is that none of these
Speaker 1: moments were for uced. Nobody came in trying to get
Speaker 1: a viral moment. They were just honest.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that's why people connected with them so
Speaker 3: much and love kept so much, because vulnerability recognize its vulnerability,
Speaker 3: and people know when something is real, that's real.
Speaker 13: Keep that one, I want to.
Speaker 2: But you know what's so funny how we laugh here.
Speaker 2: We laugh even when it gets deep. It's always those
Speaker 2: laughing moments. And I just love that about to keep
Speaker 2: it positive, sweetie. It's like, we get deep, but we
Speaker 2: also gonna have us a good, good laugh, good church.
Speaker 17: We have church in here.
Speaker 1: We get everything when you come here. Ran around the road,
Speaker 1: praise laps, Okay. You know people always tell us how
Speaker 1: comfortable it feels to sit on this set, to be
Speaker 1: in in the space with us. You know, I think
Speaker 1: that is something we've all cultivated and that comes from us.
Speaker 1: But the truth is we comfortable too. We laugh. We joked,
Speaker 1: key key, Yeah, they call me Joe Jackson that. I mean,
Speaker 1: why are you looking like that, Shelley. But we have
Speaker 1: a lot of like inside jokes and we have a
Speaker 1: lot of fun.
Speaker 17: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 6: I think the best part is that people people don't
Speaker 6: feel like they're coming in for an interrogation. They've come
Speaker 6: in form like a real conversation, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And like Crystal said before with Karsia saying, she was
Speaker 2: like so nervous and we were like, no, it's gonna
Speaker 2: be okay, so nervous, and she killed it.
Speaker 1: She did, she really did. I remember telling a girl,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be fine, and I try to do my
Speaker 1: not even interviews. I wanted a conversation. Yeah, you know that.
Speaker 1: I know what it feels like, because it does feel
Speaker 1: like an interrogation when you're being interviewed sometimes, and I
Speaker 1: just want them to feel like a conversation. I want
Speaker 1: you to feel that this is a safe space. It's
Speaker 1: not messy. We're not doing clickbait.
Speaker 15: You know.
Speaker 1: I pride myself on that. I was very intentional about
Speaker 1: when I created this platform that when people walk in,
Speaker 1: they know what they're walking into. And a lot of
Speaker 1: people will call and say, hey, I want to come
Speaker 1: on your show because they know what it is. They
Speaker 1: know they're not going to wake up on morning see
Speaker 1: that clip and be like why right, you know, she
Speaker 1: was talking about how nervous she was. Then five minutes
Speaker 1: into the conversation, we were kicking a lot of girls.
Speaker 1: But I think that is what I pride myself on,
Speaker 1: is building a platform that is not messy, that's not caddy.
Speaker 1: We don't do the clickbait, so when people come here,
Speaker 1: they know the energy, they know what they're going to get.
Speaker 1: They're not going to wake up one morning and be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this click clip, this clip is gone viral.
Speaker 1: You know, I know what it feels like. So I
Speaker 1: try to not make other people feel that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and once they settle in on the kIPS couch,
Speaker 3: it stops feeling and they stopped thinking about the cameras.
Speaker 1: For sure. Jess was like that too, Yes she was. Yes,
Speaker 1: one minute we were talking about something serious and then
Speaker 1: the next minute we're literally crying and crying laughing. It
Speaker 1: was like both like, yeah, I've been reading her book
Speaker 1: and I was literally in tears.
Speaker 2: Yeah you were.
Speaker 17: You were so moved by.
Speaker 2: But even reading in her voice, yeah, it's like because
Speaker 2: you don't want to laugh, but it's like, okay, you've
Speaker 2: been silly, but also relatable, very relatable.
Speaker 13: Yeah, Antoya and read in that game, was like, that
Speaker 13: was funny.
Speaker 2: That was a good icebrecker, just because again, they were
Speaker 2: so honest and it was just funny when you hear
Speaker 2: couples kind of like especially like argument or apologizing. So
Speaker 2: that was funny hearing them.
Speaker 1: Talk about that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the way they looked at each other answered every question,
Speaker 6: it was firing.
Speaker 5: It was gonna be a good time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it felt like we were just hanging out with them. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I would also add that as much as we have
Speaker 3: a lot of fun when we talk about pairing for
Speaker 3: these conversations, like you really do the work. You guys
Speaker 3: do the work to prepare for these conversations. We have
Speaker 3: to read books in two days and really get into
Speaker 3: wherever the guest is in their journey or in their
Speaker 3: life or in their career to have a conversation that
Speaker 3: means so much to them. So when you talk about
Speaker 3: reading Justic's book and crying, like really literally when we
Speaker 3: booked that interview, you had to quickly read the book
Speaker 3: because I think you can really immerse yourself and where
Speaker 3: she was exactly.
Speaker 1: I don't like to like talk about a book and
Speaker 1: have not have read it. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like to really like, yeah, you know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you guys take care of there. You take
Speaker 3: it serious, and I think that is what the guest
Speaker 3: feels too. It's not like okay, interview check. You know
Speaker 3: we talked about surface level things like you guys really
Speaker 3: take it serious when you're preparing for a conversation.
Speaker 1: For sure. We do. We really do. And that's what
Speaker 1: I love about this. People don't see that side of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 17: Yeah, the reproduction calls.
Speaker 3: The reading of the books or the scripts or watching
Speaker 3: of the movie.
Speaker 6: Yes, the older episode with the older conversations we see,
Speaker 6: the other interviews that we see the other podcasts.
Speaker 17: Yeah, looking for those things that they work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of work.
Speaker 17: Work make it fun.
Speaker 1: No, exactly we do. We do. We captured so much,
Speaker 1: so much. I want to see what else we got. Listen.
Speaker 2: It was one of them you know how you go
Speaker 2: on a date with somebody and you post the food
Speaker 2: and not the man, and you post the place and
Speaker 2: not the man.
Speaker 1: That was me and him.
Speaker 2: We would go all kinds of days, school, all kinds
Speaker 2: of places and never post each other. And then it's
Speaker 2: like our pop up pregnant. Everybody like what but yeah,
Speaker 2: we were feeling, you know, getting to know each other
Speaker 2: for real and enjoin each other in private.
Speaker 10: I could pray somebody under the table, like sometimes Christal,
Speaker 10: when I pray, I'll be like I was good God,
Speaker 10: Like okay, look at you working. You know, I'd be
Speaker 10: so hyped, Like even though the breakfast cup, I'd be like,
Speaker 10: I just pray crazy pro.
Speaker 1: Better was better than yours.
Speaker 10: Like I know, I know I'm getting a little crazy
Speaker 10: with the competition prayer, but I'll be packing myself with
Speaker 10: a veg.
Speaker 15: I need new energy, a new frequency, you know, just positive,
Speaker 15: just happy.
Speaker 1: Just focusing on me.
Speaker 15: I think that when you focus on yourself, that's when
Speaker 15: you're the best version on yourself, because it's like when
Speaker 15: you're in a group, it's like being in a relationship.
Speaker 15: Sometimes y'all don't always see eye of eye, and it's
Speaker 15: just like when you finally lead that relationship, it's like damn,
Speaker 15: I hair getting on my skin going because you're focusing
Speaker 15: on yourself, right, So that's how I look at it.
Speaker 1: I'm focused on myself.
Speaker 2: Dang.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Like I was telling her, like chill shawty, you
Speaker 11: know what I'm saying. Oh my god, you know I
Speaker 11: was like, Yo, calm down there, I know you.
Speaker 17: Know that far.
Speaker 5: Crazy.
Speaker 11: Nah, Just just like she said, we became real close,
Speaker 11: and it was just like I was.
Speaker 7: Just talking to, you know, one of your producers, and
Speaker 7: she mentioned one of the chapters in the book that
Speaker 7: really stuck with her. Yeah, And I'm like, I'm well
Speaker 7: because I am open to the fact that I have
Speaker 7: growth opportunities and so I'm doing really good.
Speaker 5: I don't mind whooping for wrong.
Speaker 12: Like growing up, I got whooped when I was right,
Speaker 12: and if you would have just let me explain, you
Speaker 12: would have seen it actually wasn't what you thought. And
Speaker 12: then my parents find out later they ain't gonna undo
Speaker 12: the whooping, and they ain't gonna say sorry, you want something.
Speaker 5: No, I want you to listen. Okay, you have to
Speaker 5: feed me.
Speaker 12: If you would have just gave me three seconds, I
Speaker 12: could have told you what happened.
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, I got.
Speaker 5: That little game.
Speaker 12: You wanted an apology. I'll take the game. We're too
Speaker 12: nice of the kid. You're right, Joe Jackson said, I
Speaker 12: got to y'all got to work. Michael and them was
Speaker 12: at work at an adult club at seven. You know,
Speaker 12: I'm like, oh, my son, I love you mental health
Speaker 12: and health.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he ain't gonna be Michael Jackson.
Speaker 12: He's not because I didn't push him and any so
Speaker 12: you know that whooping is bad, but also Michael Jackson's bad.
Speaker 5: The album Hello Whoop it all works together.
Speaker 12: We ain't seen no level star with the loving gentle
Speaker 12: pant all.
Speaker 4: I'm saying, we ain't love nobody into greatness yet.
Speaker 1: Listen, we we've done cool, but.
Speaker 12: We ain't love nobody healthily into greatness because you got
Speaker 12: to be a little crazy to treat them levels.
Speaker 5: You know, you got to hate.
Speaker 12: They hated Joe Jackson seen my life all because I
Speaker 12: hate you.
Speaker 5: Love ain't enough. I got to hate you to get
Speaker 5: where I want to go.
Speaker 1: Literally, Wow, I needed that, I really did. I love
Speaker 1: that people let their guards down with us. You know,
Speaker 1: it makes me think about something. We have talked about,
Speaker 1: the moments that stayed with us, the moments that made
Speaker 1: us laugh, the moments made us cry. But I want
Speaker 1: to ask you, guys, this, what conversation genuinely changed the
Speaker 1: way you think? Not your favorite guest, not your favorite episode.
Speaker 1: I want to know what conversation made you walk out
Speaker 1: differently than the way you came in to.
Speaker 5: Right for me.
Speaker 6: So I walked in with it thinking about we were
Speaker 6: going to have a conversation about ministry, and you know,
Speaker 6: and it turned into a conversation about purpose, you know,
Speaker 6: like he challenged the idea that the calling only exists
Speaker 6: in one title or one position, but actually, like it
Speaker 6: went to something you carry into business, something you carry
Speaker 6: into leadership, something you carry into your family.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that conversation came in the perfect time
Speaker 1: in my life, you know, launching ors an actor, expanding
Speaker 1: in that space, being an entrepreneur. He helped me realize
Speaker 1: that my purpose doesn't ask me to choose one version
Speaker 1: of myself, you know. And I think for me, that's
Speaker 1: what I thought it was. You know, this is the
Speaker 1: thing that I'm passionate about. This is God's hurpting my life.
Speaker 1: This is why I focus on. But what he said
Speaker 1: is that it asked you to steward every version you've
Speaker 1: been trusted with. And that right there that hit me
Speaker 1: because I realized that God isn't trusted a lot in me.
Speaker 1: And when I look at that, and I look at
Speaker 1: all the different things, I'm like, okay, and all these
Speaker 1: things require a different version of Crystal, you know, so yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: PT definitely Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was one for me,
Speaker 3: and I will also add doctor Key Mayor Keisha Lance
Speaker 3: Bottoms for me because I can't I couldn't imagine the
Speaker 3: cross that she has to carry, right being the mayor,
Speaker 3: leaving meeting the mayor's office, then getting the courage to
Speaker 3: run for governor, you know, all of the challenges that
Speaker 3: come with politics. She's a mom, she's a wife, and
Speaker 3: so sometimes when you think about the thing that you
Speaker 3: have to carry or the weight that you hold, like
Speaker 3: and then you think.
Speaker 2: About that kind yeah, because I was thinking even you know,
Speaker 2: you don't want to judge a book by its cover,
Speaker 2: but never met you know, I've never met her before,
Speaker 2: so I just have this persona of Mayor Keisha Lan's violence,
Speaker 2: especially in the era that I knew her in, right,
Speaker 2: So I'm thinking, we just gonna talk to this politician.
Speaker 2: You know, I did read the book, so as I'm
Speaker 2: reading the book, it was I kind of started feeling
Speaker 2: those layers. But even meeting her in person, it was
Speaker 2: just a different vibe and she had her guard completely
Speaker 2: down and it was just a very moving conversation. Even
Speaker 2: hearing about her motherhood journey and even that like people
Speaker 2: in that space don't share that kind of stuff. And
Speaker 2: so just to hear her speak about all of her
Speaker 2: kids being adopted and her going through the IVF, and
Speaker 2: she was just very honest, which I think one she
Speaker 2: didn't have to be because you know, this is her life,
Speaker 2: but she probably really and I know she did. Reading
Speaker 2: the comments, they loved it. They loved it, and I
Speaker 2: think it just was amazing to know that she would
Speaker 2: turn around and become.
Speaker 3: Yeah, think about the vulnerability that it takes to like
Speaker 3: sign up for that right, to sign up to be
Speaker 3: a black female politician, Yes in Georgia.
Speaker 1: In spite of what people have already been saying about,
Speaker 1: you know, and the reputation that she has where people
Speaker 1: like have taken just small parts of her career and
Speaker 1: me right and not looking at it in totality. Something
Speaker 1: she said was strong women pushed through powerful women stop.
Speaker 1: And because a lot of people were asking her like
Speaker 1: why didn't she run again? Like why did she just?
Speaker 1: They felt like you quit on us, you know, and
Speaker 1: the time we needed you the most, But we didn't
Speaker 1: know what she was dealing with internally with her health,
Speaker 1: her health things that she needed to take care of
Speaker 1: in order to be able to run for governor. We
Speaker 1: always talk about you can't pour from an empty yes,
Speaker 1: you know. So she made me look at the importance
Speaker 1: of sitting there, yes, you know, listening to your body.
Speaker 1: And that's something that really stuck with me because I
Speaker 1: think as women, black women especially, we have been taught
Speaker 1: to push through, be resilient, keep going. Nobody cares like
Speaker 1: you gotta you know. Yeah, we have worn that as
Speaker 1: a badge of honor in a way, you know, And
Speaker 1: I feel like it's time to understand that. No, like
Speaker 1: I can't be everyone's heroes. Sometimes I gotta pull the
Speaker 1: cape off, dust it off, send it to the dry cleaners. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that takes a while. So when that comes back,
Speaker 1: then I'll be restored and read to get it back on.
Speaker 2: And I loved her kind of like blooping because I'm like,
Speaker 2: you know what, you didn't quit, You did your term.
Speaker 2: And it's crazy how that narrative can spread. So it's
Speaker 2: like she actually run it back. She didn't walk out
Speaker 2: of her turn anything like that.
Speaker 13: So to do it again, and you have to.
Speaker 2: Respect that, just like people leave jobs all the time
Speaker 2: and things like that, Like she said, they put people
Speaker 2: on a pedestal or want politicians to have this perfectionism
Speaker 2: and not really think of them as humans. So she
Speaker 2: really he gave the you know, politics and political figures
Speaker 2: of voice and really been able to see them as
Speaker 2: human human And I really appreciated that. Another one was
Speaker 2: definitely doctor key, like you said, not their key.
Speaker 13: From the moment she walked.
Speaker 3: In, shea she was not on the ground, She was not,
Speaker 3: she floated in. She has like a regal like air
Speaker 3: when she walks into her room. You almost feel like, okay,
Speaker 3: let me sit up together English. Yeah.
Speaker 17: Yeah, she definitely is one of the women that make.
Speaker 1: You like.
Speaker 2: And even just her about community and really having us
Speaker 2: sit back and take a look what does that really
Speaker 2: look like? And seeing someone who's actually not just saying it,
Speaker 2: not just putting it on shirts and things like that,
Speaker 2: she's literally living in seeing her fruits that are coming
Speaker 2: of her living it. It makes you want to be
Speaker 2: more inclusive and do things with people and be more
Speaker 2: open because she was really showing what that looked like for.
Speaker 6: Sure, Like her mantras support is a herb, like it's
Speaker 6: cool people say I support you, and all this but
Speaker 6: actually showing up, actually investing, actually making the call to
Speaker 6: get someone else like ahead, or making the connection, like
Speaker 6: that's a real thing she is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, And she's super intentional about giving credit where
Speaker 3: it's to do and making sure that that she's clear
Speaker 3: about how she got to where she is.
Speaker 17: It wasn't by herself.
Speaker 3: She had a community people that she supported supported her.
Speaker 3: And the idea that no one gets.
Speaker 1: There on their own that's so true and that her
Speaker 1: book No One is Self Made, One Made. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: definitely in line with that, because nobody gets to where
Speaker 1: they are by themselves. But I think when you realize
Speaker 1: that that is when gratitud who comes with the leadership,
Speaker 1: you know, because a lot of times leaders can have
Speaker 1: this like pompous attitude that they're above everybody and they're like,
Speaker 1: y'all are here because of me, you know, And when
Speaker 1: you get rid of that persona and understand that no,
Speaker 1: like I'm here because you guys have my back, and
Speaker 1: that gratitude comes along with it. One people feel valued,
Speaker 1: you know, they feel appreciated, they feel seen, and those
Speaker 1: things are important when you're building a team.
Speaker 13: Yes, and I love that about us too.
Speaker 2: I feel like here people may see, you know, the
Speaker 2: Sweeties a gonna ride for Crystal, but they I was
Speaker 2: walking with West at the live and they were like big.
Speaker 2: It was like, I love it because again, you shot,
Speaker 2: we're all on here, we're on the after show, We're
Speaker 2: all doing things while m is back there at Herman.
Speaker 2: It's definitely takes a team to do all of this,
Speaker 2: which is why I just love our team, because we
Speaker 2: are truly a tough team, Like it's a real life
Speaker 2: team around here. And I think that that really just
Speaker 2: resonated with me. Even with her the sun analogy. She
Speaker 2: said that I was like, the sun shines on both
Speaker 2: of us. Now, the sun shines on everyone. It's no
Speaker 2: need to take the spotlight because it's going to come.
Speaker 2: You know, it's gonna everyone can shine. So I thought
Speaker 2: that was really really dope.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. And guys, I could not do
Speaker 1: any of this without you. I seriously couldn't. I look it.
Speaker 1: This morning, I was just praying, and we didn't pray before.
Speaker 1: We're going to pray after this, but I was praying
Speaker 1: this morning when I woke up and just thanking God
Speaker 1: for just I knew where I was coming today and
Speaker 1: this is our first day filming here at Tyler Perry Studios. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and just giving thanks to the moment I walked on
Speaker 1: this or to this studio. It wasn't this particular light
Speaker 1: back in twenty twelve. He knew where I would be
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, you know, and the ways that
Speaker 1: he's made I'm just so grateful. But the people that
Speaker 1: He's brought to help me see this and bring it
Speaker 1: to fruition. I look around me and I feel safe.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't feel and you know, I've had
Speaker 1: been blessed to have amazing teams, you know, people around me,
Speaker 1: but just to continue to see how I evolve and
Speaker 1: the people that God brings to my life, I'm so grateful,
Speaker 1: and I love that we're not just documenting accomplishments here.
Speaker 1: You know, we're not just documenting. Don't cry, It's okay.
Speaker 16: We we love you, Miss Joe Jackson, thank you.
Speaker 1: But I think that has been the thread throughout this season,
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm really excited about what's to come.
Speaker 1: I really am now about to cry praise them crazy.
Speaker 3: Well, see, clearly this is bigger than content. Yeah, this
Speaker 3: is a purpose.
Speaker 17: Purpose is bigger than content.
Speaker 1: It is and purpose is following us, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: I like that purpose, and with it, I think we
Speaker 1: should look back at some of the lessons that we
Speaker 1: learned behind these interviews. Let's take a look.
Speaker 7: Many may not know this, but I started in business,
Speaker 7: so my background is tech. I'm a tech entrepreneur. I
Speaker 7: think that when people think about a calling, they automatically
Speaker 7: go to a church mentality. They think, I'm called to.
Speaker 1: Be a preacher.
Speaker 7: I'm called to be a worship leader, maybe a deacon.
Speaker 7: And I wanted to expand the concept of what it
Speaker 7: means to be called because I do think that business
Speaker 7: is a calling. I think that science is a calling.
Speaker 7: So I wanted to expand that and then show them
Speaker 7: how to be called in that space. You can go
Speaker 7: to theological school if you want to be a preacher,
Speaker 7: and that's wonderful, But who teaches the person who's called
Speaker 7: to start companies? Who teaches the person who's called to
Speaker 7: be a scientist and create, by the spirit of God,
Speaker 7: groundbreaking health solutions.
Speaker 9: I'm a battle tested leader, and I fought with every
Speaker 9: single thing I had for the people of Atlanta and
Speaker 9: for the people across the state. And I did it
Speaker 9: because it was the right thing to do. And it
Speaker 9: didn't mean that every decision I made was perfect, but
Speaker 9: it did mean that I tried my very best. And
Speaker 9: you know, even when people have asked me, well, why
Speaker 9: don't you run for a second.
Speaker 1: Term, then that's a question that comes up.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I went into prayer about that, you know, reminded
Speaker 9: people I finished my term and I finished it strong.
Speaker 9: I did a poll just before I left the Mayor's
Speaker 9: office at sixty eight percent. Our internal polls showed me
Speaker 9: so neew the people of Atlanta were please with the
Speaker 9: representation I provided, And I write about this in my book.
Speaker 9: My dad died suddenly at fifty five, and I given
Speaker 9: every I had to be mayor to the city. I
Speaker 9: was giving everything I had to my family right about
Speaker 9: even the night of the protest in Atlanta, when I gave.
Speaker 1: That, remember like it was yesterday. Yeah.
Speaker 9: When I got home my son, my son likes it
Speaker 9: was like they ate all the fish, They ate all
Speaker 9: the fried fish because I.
Speaker 13: Was cooking when I.
Speaker 9: Left to go to police headquarters. I came in and
Speaker 9: I fried fish and cook grips for him.
Speaker 1: When I got home back to it's like back.
Speaker 9: To Yeah, So I'd given every single thing I had,
Speaker 9: but at that time I had, I was pre diabetic,
Speaker 9: I was pre glaucoma, which I still am. I have
Speaker 9: to use drops now, I pre hypertensive, chronic inflammation. I
Speaker 9: gained thirty pounds, like all these things. And I would
Speaker 9: think my daddy died suddenly at fifty five if I
Speaker 9: had four years left, Yeah.
Speaker 1: What about my kids? What about me?
Speaker 9: And making a decision not out of weakness but out
Speaker 9: of strength.
Speaker 8: My book is a loving deprogramming of the consciousness of
Speaker 8: how we talk about success ancestrally. We are communal people
Speaker 8: come ancestray in present day whatever success that we may have,
Speaker 8: and it may not always come in a form that
Speaker 8: we want. Yeah, any great thing that we have done
Speaker 8: well in life, there have been prayer partners, there have
Speaker 8: been a group text of friends. Yes, there have people
Speaker 8: that slide you twenty dollars when you needed it when
Speaker 8: you're an undergrad. If I accept self made, then I
Speaker 8: began to erase people who've been very vital to the
Speaker 8: own fabric of my existence. Yeah, and so no one
Speaker 8: is self made. Is to say, be intentional about every
Speaker 8: single thing that you say thank you to, even the
Speaker 8: titles that people give you and I have sat interviews
Speaker 8: and people have said, doctor Keith, how does it mean
Speaker 8: to be a self made woman? And because I know
Speaker 8: that words are prophetic and I know that words and
Speaker 8: have an opportunity to teach in a moment, I always say,
Speaker 8: but actually I'm village made.
Speaker 1: You know, Guys, Like when I first started keeping Positive, Sweetie,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to have conversations with people, you know,
Speaker 1: I wanted to know their journeys. My vision for this
Speaker 1: was to show people that were more alike than were not.
Speaker 1: But I did not imagine within three years that I've
Speaker 1: been reflecting on eleven seasons. That is crazy.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 17: Yeah, and we started we came on at season five or.
Speaker 3: Six, and it's just the evolution of the show, the
Speaker 3: evolution of the team, you.
Speaker 17: Know, it feels bigger than creating content.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: I feel so blessed completing my first season came in
Speaker 2: like that beginning of like season ten is when you
Speaker 2: were going on the.
Speaker 1: Cruise and yeah, that one.
Speaker 13: So yeah, so that was really cool.
Speaker 2: And I think that it also speaks to the team
Speaker 2: and speaks to the system because I was able to
Speaker 2: jump right in and kind of really understand what was
Speaker 2: going on. So I think it still speaks to that
Speaker 2: I've been able to add my own pozzass and my
Speaker 2: shilliness to it. But overall, this is something that you know,
Speaker 2: you're creating a legacy and something that can live forever
Speaker 2: because of your greatness.
Speaker 5: And you're true. You know, people leave they leave here,
Speaker 5: they don't talk about the cameras. They talk about how
Speaker 5: they feel. They talk about the impact they've had, you know,
Speaker 5: like how important was to have a conversation you leave
Speaker 5: here with friends, family, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's real. Yeah, that's so true. And I think
Speaker 1: that some of the best conversations happened because we didn't
Speaker 1: just move on to the next topic. We said in it,
Speaker 1: you know, and we earned where we were in those conversations.
Speaker 13: And I love when people when you're like they want
Speaker 13: the clip, they want you to send them the clip
Speaker 13: they want.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 13: I love that part.
Speaker 1: I think, can you can you have them send me this? Yes?
Speaker 2: I love when that happens because it kind of just
Speaker 2: lets us know that we're doing we're supposed to do
Speaker 2: and having the conversations we're supposed to have. And it
Speaker 2: also just curiosity and the questions that we may want
Speaker 2: to ask or maybe thinking will never get the opportunity to.
Speaker 2: This also gives us that chance to get again another perspective,
Speaker 2: and just hearing from these greats and the things that
Speaker 2: they're enduring. It really puts your life into perspective. Like
Speaker 2: we were talking about earlier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we all go. We are nobody is omitted from
Speaker 1: going through life.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, in life life.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 13: What's been your takeaway from this season?
Speaker 6: Wes, Oh, mine is stewardship You okay to Ray challenged
Speaker 6: me with that doctor key reinforced it. You know, like
Speaker 6: whatever God places in your hands, you know, lead it well.
Speaker 6: I mean, whether it's your business, family or just the conversation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just make sure you take care.
Speaker 1: Of I love that.
Speaker 3: Minus Grace, my takeaway from the season is just a
Speaker 3: reminder that everyone is carrying something and most of the
Speaker 3: time you never know. And we've had the biggest superstars
Speaker 3: sit on the couch. We've had the most intelligent, most
Speaker 3: successful people sit on this couch, and when they start
Speaker 3: to share their journey, it's a reminder that grace goes
Speaker 3: a long way and you never know what someone's carrying.
Speaker 5: I love that.
Speaker 1: That is so good. I believe that this season reminded
Speaker 1: me of why I started this show in the first place,
Speaker 1: you know, And it wasn't for the headlines. It wasn't
Speaker 1: for the clips, it wasn't for the views, you know,
Speaker 1: because I definitely in the beginning and even still sometimes
Speaker 1: get caught up in where we are and how the
Speaker 1: show is growing. I think that's with anything that you're
Speaker 1: that you're passionate about. Yeah, but there was a time
Speaker 1: where like I was so like, Okay, what is what's happening?
Speaker 1: Like how do we get back to what it was?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: But the main thing is when I go out and
Speaker 1: in the streets and I'm traveling and people stop me,
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, your podcast changed my life. Your podcast
Speaker 1: Robbing Closer to God. Your podcast made me men my
Speaker 1: relationship with my mother. It's helping me hand on my
Speaker 1: finances better, you know, because we touch on so many
Speaker 1: different things, and my mental health.
Speaker 18: You know.
Speaker 1: To hear that and see women almost in tears, you know,
Speaker 1: thinking about how this has impacted them, it reminds me
Speaker 1: of the why, you know, because it's so easy to
Speaker 1: get lost and everything else. We talk about comparison, we
Speaker 1: talk about seeing what everyone else is doing, and sometimes
Speaker 1: you got to take a step back and look at
Speaker 1: everything that you've been able to accomplish and do. And
Speaker 1: I think with this show we have definitely made an
Speaker 1: impact and that is what I'm most proud of.
Speaker 13: Yes, give ourselves around of a plot.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm excited me too. This is good. So if
