Where do I even begin? 126 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 5: I think I think we've explored this and something that 127 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 5: I think whether it's because of like our energy, the 128 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 5: way that we look, the way that people have met 129 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 5: us at this exact pivotal moment. Not everyone has seen 130 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 5: the documentary. 131 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,599 Speaker 1: To our lives, but we're too people. 132 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 5: That I think have this archetype of a very much 133 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 5: a graceful voice, graceful kind of look. 134 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: Like we both have a lot of. 135 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 5: Innate nurturance in the way that we're designed to be. 136 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 5: But we have both been. 137 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: Through, especially at young. 138 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 5: Ages, like really dirty, dark, hard things where we were 139 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 5: in environment people wouldn't have never expected us to be in. 140 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 5: We were negotiating and having circumstances just very literally with 141 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 5: people that no one could ever even imagine that we 142 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 5: come across. So sometimes this sense of goodness or naivete 143 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 5: or this belief that there was like an ease in 144 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 5: life that other people didn't get is really projected on us. 145 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 5: Yeah too, our time, Yeah, big time. And you know 146 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 5: it's like we incarnated as wise women at very young ages, 147 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 5: but then there was just kind of a lot of 148 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 5: darkness that we met very young to be embodied in 149 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 5: this wisdom. 150 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 6: Yeah yeah. And I said this on Aya John's podcast before. 151 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 6: I was like, you know, we were sitting to the underworld. Yeah, 152 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 6: you know, like we really were. And I remember also 153 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 6: saying one time to that very point is that it's 154 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 6: because of what I've been through and having. 155 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 7: Survived it, overcame it like survive, survivor Overcomer and then Thriver, 156 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 7: Right yeah, and so like those three parts, so I 157 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 7: wasn't so you didn't meet me at survivor you didn't 158 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 7: meet me at Overcomer. 159 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 6: You're meeting me at Thriver. So you can't judge where 160 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 6: you're meeting me based on you know, where you think 161 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 6: my whole life has come from, or when you met 162 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 6: me when I was just down spiraling, like you just 163 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 6: would not have recognized me, you know what I mean, 164 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 6: or you would have judged me differently, or you know, 165 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 6: you would have passed my little Instagram page up right, 166 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 6: because what I would have been off had to offer 167 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 6: then just would not be anything of substance. And and 168 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 6: so it's it's because of the work that I had 169 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 6: to do to heal is why you can maybe look 170 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 6: at me and say, oh, it's easier said than done, 171 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 6: or you know sometimes you get those or oh no, 172 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 6: well yeah right, or you don't yeah, but you don't 173 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 6: understand this, and I'm like, no. 174 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: Like, oh, peace, love and life, like this. 175 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 5: Has been the path of really where you let darkness 176 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 5: be your candle. 177 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 6: Baby listen and what to say.

Maybe in some 219 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 6: on some time it is physically throwing it, but now 220 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 6: you know, it's like. 221 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 2: We learn to use our weaponry different. 222 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah. And you know I think too, 223 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 5: it's like that exploration of when you are on the 224 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 5: path of peace or you're meant to teach peace and 225 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 5: body peace, you have to know the barriers everyone has 226 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 5: up against it. Yeah, right, So you have to understand 227 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 5: that when you're here to share this message, you have 228 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 5: to know what you're going to face and the kind 229 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 5: of inner suffering or turmoil or darkness that people have 230 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 5: face that make them think it's not possible, right, and 231 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 5: then you show them anyway and you are that anyway, 232 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 5: And I also have to say quick shout out to 233 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 5: our dear sister Lauren London that you mentioned, because. 234 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 6: That is our vote. 235 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: You should be here too, that's our boom. 236 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 5: So, you know what, lately, when we think about values 237 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 5: and friendship, like, I think that that is something it's 238 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 5: especially it's something that's really coming to the forefront now 239 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 5: because I think for many who have connected to the work, 240 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 5: they've spent the last several years, especially since the pandemic, 241 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 5: exploring themselves, creating space, healing some things, which then takes 242 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 5: you to the next level of the journey, which is 243 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 5: coming out of hermit mode or coming out of that 244 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 5: self isolation and understanding how to build community that is 245 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 5: really authentic to who and what you are. So I've noticed, 246 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 5: especially in the last you know, year or so, those 247 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 5: are a lot of the conversations of people saying, wait 248 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 5: a minute, what is friendship or what is sisterhood? Or 249 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 5: I want you to have that feeling, and so the 250 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 5: beginning stages of that are happening for people. So this 251 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 5: is really timely because I think we can talk about, 252 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 5: you know. 253 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: How how did we. 254 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 5: Figure out our friend style as individuals together with other 255 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 5: people in our lives and where do we really hold 256 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 5: value in friendship and for each of us? And I 257 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 5: can't stress this enough to everybody listening really understand how 258 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 5: different that may be for each of us, and how 259 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 5: important it is to notice what those differences and needs are, 260 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 5: because we don't all require the same thing in friendship, right, Yeah, 261 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 5: And we definitely don't all necessarily have the same things 262 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 5: to give. 263 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: But that isn't. 264 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 5: Necessarily the threshold of whether it's someone a good friend 265 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 5: or not. It's just what is most yoke to what 266 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 5: I can give and what I. 267 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: Need to receive. 268 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: Yes, Oh that is so good. 269 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 6: That is so good, And I do think that's the sign, Like, 270 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 6: that's it what you just said. Is it that awareness 271 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 6: of we may not give the same things. Yeah, but 272 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 6: we're both giving like our like our love link, our friends, 273 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 6: like our sister languages, love languages, friendship languages may be 274 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 6: a little different, but everyone's bringing something to the table 275 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 6: where the table was full, and like we're sitting at 276 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 6: our feast and we're enjoying. And what I love about 277 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 6: us is we don't even count, Like don't we don't 278 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 6: even know who brought what? We just feel it. Yeah, 279 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 6: you know what I mean, like like it's we can't 280 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 6: even put a pinpoint on, like this is how what 281 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 6: you do?

Put up. 285 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 6: It's almost like its own morphic field to where it's 286 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:26,719 Speaker 6: creating its own energy. And for sure when it's in it, 287 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 6: because it's so often we're just like it's like hours, 288 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 6: and especially when we're together, like in person, you know, 289 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 6: it's just like whoa, whether we are laid out doing 290 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 6: spiritual work with each other, whether we're like dancing or 291 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 6: in ceremony or whatever it is.

And I remember 375 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 5: it was probably like fifteen years ago. God was like, 376 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 5: don't use this trend talk for people when you're talking 377 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 5: about people, you know, stop calling everybody your brother, stop 378 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 5: calling everybody your sister. Growing up in hip hop as 379 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,719 Speaker 5: a young adult, it's like, oh, that's bro, that's cis, 380 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 5: that's family. Right in the entertainment world, like that's kind 381 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 5: of a way you throw vernacular. 382 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: But it's also to create false. 383 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,719 Speaker 5: Approximation, right, like false proximity, false sense of you know, 384 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 5: your own esteem or how you're received.

And one just one beautiful 467 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 6: thing that I give thanks for with my grandmothers. What 468 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 6: these were women who held space and community. These were 469 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 6: the elders, These were the mothers, These were these were 470 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 6: the women like mothering the community. So I really got 471 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 6: to see how you show up in community. So when 472 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 6: I wouldn't have that, I would feel so off center. Yeah, 473 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 6: and when I would go against that feeling to me, 474 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 6: that's when my relationship with friendship was like leading in 475 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 6: a toxic direction, you know what I mean. So I 476 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 6: remember just being younger, like not really feeling like well, 477 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 6: friendship is going to feel warm and supportive and like community, 478 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 6: and there is a familial thing to it where it 479 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 6: does feel like because it's a whole family. And so 480 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 6: as I got more, when I would feel when I 481 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 6: wouldn't feel the warmth. So sometimes like for instance, you'll 482 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 6: feel a connection with someone just because they're around, yeah, 483 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 6: versus a connection with someone it's circumstantial, right, Yeah, So 484 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 6: it's not that we really have things in common, right, 485 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 6: and that this is really healthfuy for me, and this 486 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 6: is really what a friendship should be. But because you know, 487 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 6: we know how to contact each other and you know, 488 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 6: it's like this routine, it becomes a routine of me 489 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 6: friends and that just doesn't feel good and things don't 490 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 6: grow in that way. But when you can hold out, 491 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 6: so like when you can go through the desert and 492 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 6: sometimes release most of the times, those are the relationships 493 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 6: that have to be released or sacrificed in order for 494 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 6: you to attract your true sisterhood. You know, like that 495 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 6: was grue sisterhood. 496 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 497 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, isn't it always like the most interesting feeling when 498 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 5: you get to that in the journey of our own work, 499 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 5: When you get to that next level of knowing, you 500 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 5: accet like your bar has risen, Like getting to this 501 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 5: space where you know that your bar has risen in 502 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 5: all the areas of your life, and so every person 503 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 5: that's coming in you're kind of like, oh, oh, I 504 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 5: knew this existed. I wasn't ready for it yet, yeah right, 505 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 5: Or I didn't know how to show up in it yet, 506 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 5: but I knew it existed. And then the more work 507 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 5: you do, it all just starts coming to you effortlessly. 508 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 5: But especially when you surrender to the shed, when you say, 509 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 5: like what's right here is not enough? No, and whether 510 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 5: or not anything better takes its place, I know I 511 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 5: cannot keep doing this. And I think that's the case 512 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 5: with friendships too. 513 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: It's like you have to haul. 514 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 5: Sometimes you have to renegotiate all the contracts, all the agreements, 515 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 5: you've made with people and say like, yeah, this made 516 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 5: a lot of sense when we happened to go to 517 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 5: school together, which was a circumstance. 518 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, neither of us chose that, right. 519 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 5: But now, yeah, no, this actually doesn't meet my needs. 520 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 5: Like this isn't enough, right, right, do you when you 521 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 5: think of what you need, what you look for, what 522 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 5: you require in friendship from another person? 523 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: What's your type? 524 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 2: I love authenticity. 525 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 6: I love because I love knowing who I'm a friend 526 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 6: of the energy And really that's what it is. 527 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 2: It's a relationship with. 528 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 6: The energy, you know, energy to energy, and I love 529 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 6: I could just say that about each. 530 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,479 Speaker 2: Of my close friends, you know, each of you. 531 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,479 Speaker 6: I can go down the list, like just truly in 532 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 6: your most authentic self, like this is so who you are. 533 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 6: There's no fronting, there's no like damning, like it's just real, right. 534 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 6: And what I love too, like being on this side 535 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 6: of it now, as you said, like you know, it's 536 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 6: not circumstantial that this is like like I say, chosen family, right, Yeah. 537 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 6: What I love about it is that now you get 538 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 6: to be your fool self, So like I get to 539 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 6: I get to be your sister, your friend while you're 540 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 6: in this work, in doing your purpose, like your what 541 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 6: makes your soul feel alive.

On the surface, 589 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 5: that's sound so reasonable, It sounds so completely reasonable. Absolutely, 590 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 5: you can be a great person, but you don't. 591 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: Make good choices. 592 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 5: See that and that God doesn't real I'm gonna be 593 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 5: so honest about this.

It rewards good choices. 595 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 5: Yeah yeah right, like, yeah, goodness just by itself is 596 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 5: the same thing as pastivity, right Like, it's nice to 597 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 5: look at it sounds good, but. 598 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: It's not in action, right Like. 599 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 5: Action requires choice. And so I've definitely had those seasons 600 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 5: where I had some terrible homegirls. Horrible, I mean, diabolical, 601 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 5: you know, people I thought were homegirls, and my god, 602 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 5: they were not. You know, they were absolutely scheming and 603 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 5: manipulating and looking to cause harm. And I remember feeling 604 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 5: so confused and so frustrated by saying, like, but I'm 605 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 5: a great person. I'm a good person, and I care 606 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 5: about them. All of that is true, And for whatever reasons, 607 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 5: I wasn't making higher choices, right. And it doesn't mean 608 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 5: that the higher choice is that you instantaneously pick better friends. 609 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 5: The higher choice is very often being alone. 610 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 6: Oh literally, I saw that vision being. 611 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 5: Alone first and healing whatever in you settles for less 612 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 5: in anyone, whether that is a romantic partner, a friendship, 613 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 5: a work environment. It's like you settling for less is 614 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 5: where the work is heal all that for all the 615 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 5: many reasons that that could be the case, And there's 616 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 5: so many, and usually they're all painful, and then you 617 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 5: get out of it. And then after that you start 618 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:58,399 Speaker 5: slowly practicing how to be in good choice making with friendships. 619 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: Right, you don't try I'm a bond. 620 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 5: You don't pour out your deepest, darkest secrets to the 621 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 5: person you met because you have good chemistry. And now 622 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 5: you think your sisters and your bonded because you know 623 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 5: each other's darkness. Right, Yeah, And that's how I think 624 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 5: friendship has been taught for so long. 625 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: It's like you'll. 626 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 5: See a girl, you like each other, and then you 627 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 5: pour out your heart and then now you're expecting one 628 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 5: another to be perfect for each other for all time. 629 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: It's not how it works, you know. 630 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 5: And I think you slowly get in practice. You see 631 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 5: what kind of friend you are, what you require, and 632 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,240 Speaker 5: then the higher choices come and then before you know it, 633 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 5: the only thing that comes to you is a good choice. Like, 634 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 5: I don't have to think about friendships anymore. 635 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:43,959 Speaker 1: One all my needs are met. 636 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,320 Speaker 5: Actually don't have a lot of room for more deep friendships. 637 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 5: I just want to go deeper with who I have. 638 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 5: But I don't have to question. I don't have to network. 639 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 5: I don't have to network with friends. I know who 640 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 5: God sends to me. Yeah, it's clear and I know that. 641 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 5: Then we have time to explore it, you know. 642 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. 643 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 6: That is so powerful And I think this is ooh, 644 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 6: this is getting so juicy because this is the type 645 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 6: of friendship conversation that is not being had right where 646 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 6: it's like usually surface level right of like oh do 647 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 6: we resonate and do we this and that? But also 648 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 6: it's like what do I need to let go of 649 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 6: to raise the vibration? And when I do let go 650 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 6: sometimes it's like when when you put yourself through that 651 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 6: desert where you have to look at your own behavior. 652 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 6: And I think of like Lauren Hill in this moment, 653 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 6: like how you're gonna win when you're not right with them? Right? 654 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 2: And so I think she does ain't how you gonna 655 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 2: win when you ain't right with them? 656 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 6: And let's say it, right. So it's like looking internally 657 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 6: to say, Okay, how can I make better choices? What 658 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,799 Speaker 6: do I need to release? But also also journey and 659 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 6: like love yourself through all this process, right, But do 660 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 6: go through the process. Yeah, you know, and don't forget 661 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 6: the process. Please don't forget the process because it's like 662 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 6: it's going to be an undone journey. And then there's 663 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 6: like all these beautiful connections that are waiting for you 664 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,720 Speaker 6: as soon as you get to a certain vibratory frequency 665 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 6: or as soon as you get to a level of 666 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 6: self worthiness, you know, self value, And I do believe 667 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 6: that plays a big part when you can sit with 668 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 6: yourself for a while in a desert alone, knowing I'm 669 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 6: letting go of people I know are not supposed to 670 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 6: be in my life. Right, I'm gonna let go because 671 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 6: either you're gonna let go or they're gonna let go. 672 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 2: And it's not gonna. 673 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 6: Forget if they let go, you know. So you so 674 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,439 Speaker 6: it's like, do it while the divine, the most high 675 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 6: God is giving you a chance at least to have 676 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 6: your dignity. Choice choice. You could keep your dignity. You 677 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 6: can feel good about it, you can feel in your power. 678 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 6: But if not, you know, if we have to go 679 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 6: the harder route, you know some of us do, then 680 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 6: you're like, I was gonna end this anyway. You know, 681 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 6: we're out. You can't break up with me. I was 682 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 6: going to break every with you know, that whole thing 683 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 6: at least to do we're a little little kids. But 684 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,359 Speaker 6: it's like once you can sit through that, and it's 685 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 6: almost like in the energetic realm, you have to show 686 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,879 Speaker 6: your you have to show up with like this at 687 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 6: the portal of better friendships, like just empty, no baggage, nothing, 688 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 6: and just with self worth of like yeah, I was willing. 689 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 6: I have so much love for myself and respect that 690 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 6: I can be alone. Yeah, and look at everybody turning 691 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 6: up on Instagram. You know that is I don't have 692 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 6: to resonate with any of that. 693 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 2: I'm not missing out. 694 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 6: But then the sisterhood, the real friendship comes from that 695 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 6: worthiness and that authenticity. 696 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 2: And that level. It meets you where you are. 697 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 6: But I think that's such a beautiful point to like 698 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 6: go through the process, know that it is a process 699 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,839 Speaker 6: and that it can happen, and then if it's not 700 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 6: happening yet, it's just like where do I have to 701 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 6: do the work? And knowing that. 702 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 2: There may be a long time. 703 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 6: When you're called to be belong yeah, and then that 704 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,919 Speaker 6: time it's like maybe it's not about friendships, Like are 705 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 6: you okay? Where are we at purpose wise? Is there 706 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 6: anything that needs to be healed?

So this is where I truly feel 810 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 6: like what you just said, it's just so profound because 811 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 6: we have to be careful that our spirituality doesn't cause 812 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:54,439 Speaker 6: us to not be mindful and to not hold people accountable. 813 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 6: And I would say this like just how you just said, 814 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 6: some relationships are being me, you and I and you 815 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 6: know I'm feeling the person out there.

If you 821 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,319 Speaker 6: think that that's not true, you know what I mean. 822 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 5: In terms of who God loves, there's no hierarchy, right, 823 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 5: Like God's love is infinite and equal. Yes, but I'm sorry, 824 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 5: some people put more into their lives. Yes, some people 825 00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 5: put more love into the world. And some people exist 826 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 5: with a high level of integrity and some people do not. 827 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 5: And there is there is a difference, not in how 828 00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 5: much God loves you, right, there is a difference in 829 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 5: terms of yeah, I'm not going to be in deep 830 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 5: friendship or relationship. For example, is someone that is a 831 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,399 Speaker 5: pathological liar that causes harm to others, that is self 832 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 5: serving and does not live in service, that is beneath 833 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 5: my value system, my levels of ideals and integrity. 834 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's it. 835 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 6: And and for me what that can look like is 836 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,720 Speaker 6: so for instance, some of my history was abuse, verbally 837 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:20,360 Speaker 6: abusive friendships, toxic friendships, verbally verbally abusive and physically abusive relationships. 838 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 6: So if I did not allow myself to have a 839 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,640 Speaker 6: hierarchy of needs, right, and when we think about the 840 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 6: hierarchy of needs, I would suggest anyone please look this 841 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 6: up if you want to understand just this pyramid. I'm like, 842 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 6: just in your own personal pyramid in life that you 843 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,360 Speaker 6: can create for yourself to say, okay, where. 844 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:39,560 Speaker 2: Are my needs being met? 845 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 6: And then you can look at that and say where 846 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 6: am my knees being met? In a relationship and a 847 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:48,800 Speaker 6: friendship like so in maslows hierarchy Abraham Abraham mas loves 848 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 6: hierarchy of needs, at the base level is survival mode 849 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 6: and then at the very top, at the peak of 850 00:46:55,480 --> 00:47:00,879 Speaker 6: the pyramid is self actualization, self realization. So where as, so, 851 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,280 Speaker 6: how do you put this into a friendship? 852 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 9: Leila? 853 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,200 Speaker 6: Okay, so let me tell you. So in a friendship, 854 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 6: it would be we're always we're just at base level. 855 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,319 Speaker 6: It's a lot of root trauma bonding. We're always trying 856 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 6: to figure out what are we we never can get over. Well, 857 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,720 Speaker 6: you did this to me, and I feel a certain way. 858 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,279 Speaker 6: You know, it's just like friction. It's just always friction. Now, 859 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 6: there can be friction at different levels, but if it's 860 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 6: always that, if that's like the the the running frequency 861 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,320 Speaker 6: and the energy, then you know, okay, this needs to 862 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 6: either vibrate higher or I need to choose make a 863 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:41,280 Speaker 6: better choice, like need I need to now choose something. 864 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,440 Speaker 6: And so my language work. You know, I would say 865 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 6: vibrate higher, so I'm always gonna come to that. And 866 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 6: when I say vibrate higher again, it doesn't mean like 867 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 6: you know, it's something is not bypassing. You're not bypassing, 868 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 6: but you are so aware that for instance, we know 869 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 6: if the body can sit in an environment with with 870 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,240 Speaker 6: a certain frequency, it will heal, cells will really mend. 871 00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 2: So energy really is real. 872 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 6: Like we have to get away from being scared to 873 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,320 Speaker 6: call a thing a thing, you know, and to say 874 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:18,359 Speaker 6: like this is not good for me, this, I need 875 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:22,080 Speaker 6: something better, higher frequency, more, you know, more higher vibrationally 876 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,400 Speaker 6: and I think that we don't need to be afraid 877 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 6: of that. 878 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:30,080 Speaker 2: And if we are afraid of that, I just invite. 879 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 6: Whoever that is being afraid to take a look at 880 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 6: yourself and say where does that fear come from? For 881 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 6: me to make a better choice for myself, you know, 882 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,920 Speaker 6: to say I want to go up the pyramid because 883 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,839 Speaker 6: if I stay here where everything is okay and really 884 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 6: at root level, there's no like sometimes that's where you 885 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 6: don't have self dignity, you don't have self respect. Sometimes 886 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 6: you do, but then in order to get past that, 887 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,560 Speaker 6: it's like there has to be some level of work 888 00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 6: that is done, whether it's self work or even support 889 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,840 Speaker 6: work from a community, but some choices have to be 890 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 6: made in order for you to get to the next level. Right, 891 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,239 Speaker 6: So this is what we talked about, like us, like 892 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:06,360 Speaker 6: we were at the. 893 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,520 Speaker 2: Root level bottom like rock Bottom. 894 00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,280 Speaker 6: I know, I was like right and like for inss 895 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 6: ME in my past sitting in the jail cell, like 896 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,400 Speaker 6: people would never think Layla was like what well, yeah, 897 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:21,960 Speaker 6: like rock Bottom before and but the choices I had 898 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,960 Speaker 6: to make were real. They were uncomfortable, and I had 899 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 6: to make the real choices of saying this feels good 900 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 6: and if I stay in it, you know, I'm not 901 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,800 Speaker 6: going to ruffle any feathers, but I have to choose 902 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 6: something out of this. Like I needed a better life, 903 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 6: and the only language I had for it then was 904 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,759 Speaker 6: a better life. I didn't have the terminology higher vibrational, 905 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,239 Speaker 6: you know, higher frequency. 906 00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,680 Speaker 2: But when you start to deal with. 907 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 6: Higher frequency people in situations and environments, they do what 908 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 6: they do. You know, they're gonna start to heal you. 909 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,839 Speaker 6: They're gonna start to reflect your your higher self back 910 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 6: to you versus lower self. Right, And when we think 911 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,319 Speaker 6: about the most high, right, there's the most low. Like 912 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 6: you know, who is the most high, Well, that's maybe 913 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 6: your creator, this higher source of power. And who could 914 00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 6: be the polar opposite of that most low? Maybe that's 915 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 6: you know, some people would think, you know, demonic or 916 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:16,760 Speaker 6: satanic or you know, evil whatever, but just that polar 917 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,799 Speaker 6: opposite on this planet is just so important to keep 918 00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:24,359 Speaker 6: intact when we're just moving through situations and then zooming in. 919 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,399 Speaker 6: I would say, like, what is the reflection of that? 920 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,839 Speaker 6: How people treat you, like are they are they being 921 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,840 Speaker 6: their most high self their most low self? And friendships 922 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 6: and how they show up and then how you show up. 923 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's so I wanted to make sure that I. 924 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,920 Speaker 6: Shared that because I do not want us, and especially 925 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,239 Speaker 6: me turning fifty this year, like if there's something that 926 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 6: I could share with younger people, it's don't lose your 927 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,800 Speaker 6: sense of values in a world that is always trying 928 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,280 Speaker 6: to make you think that everything has to be about 929 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:57,799 Speaker 6: instant gratification, everything has to be about everybody you know 930 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,600 Speaker 6: is on the same playing field, when we know that's 931 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,279 Speaker 6: just not the case, Like my abuser is not on 932 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,000 Speaker 6: my same playing field. It's just there's no way you 933 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,239 Speaker 6: could tell me that, And that's just not what it is. 934 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 6: In nature, you know, like you put you put two 935 00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 6: seeds in a ground, one that's molded or you know, 936 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,600 Speaker 6: just no life in it, and one that is full 937 00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 6: of life energy.

Like 996 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:09,920 Speaker 6: I mean, you're in a mother day to day. But 997 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 6: when it comes to like giving advice and doing this, 998 00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,480 Speaker 6: a lot of that is going to turn into almost 999 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:19,360 Speaker 6: like spiritual coaching life coaching. Like I literally read something 1000 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,319 Speaker 6: and I don't know who to give credit to this for, 1001 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,280 Speaker 6: but it says something like you're a different. 1002 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,760 Speaker 2: You at each stage for your child. 1003 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 6: So like an infant, you know, you're like that parent. Yeah, 1004 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,319 Speaker 6: adolescence you're a certain parent. Teenage you're a certain parent. 1005 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 6: And then you all do like you go from parent 1006 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:35,359 Speaker 6: to teacher. 1007 00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:36,840 Speaker 2: To coach, you know. 1008 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,359 Speaker 6: And I was like that is so true, and it's 1009 00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 6: just us when we can feel like as parents, well 1010 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 6: we can let go because I remember feeling like, Okay, 1011 00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,680 Speaker 6: she's eighteen, but she's still my child. She's not my daughter. 1012 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,600 Speaker 6: But then when she wants to start getting her own independence. 1013 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,279 Speaker 6: I had to make a choice to say, Okay, this 1014 00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:58,320 Speaker 6: is a sign, this is a really good sign, like energetically, spiritually, 1015 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 6: that everything's working. You know, she's not having failure to launch. 1016 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:05,080 Speaker 6: She wants to go be independent, but there's some rebellion. 1017 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 2: And so I just worked with the Spirit. 1018 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 6: I was like, I'm gonna go into Spirit, and Spirit 1019 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 6: just told me how to deal with that. And so 1020 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 6: it was a lot of prayer and it was me, 1021 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,080 Speaker 6: like they say in the Christian Church gospel, you know, 1022 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,799 Speaker 6: in the Black churt to like you got to be 1023 00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,239 Speaker 6: a witness, like I had to. I had to embody 1024 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 6: the message that I wanted her to see as far 1025 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,839 Speaker 6: as like femininity and get that so that it would 1026 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,600 Speaker 6: counter what she was going through in the world, whether 1027 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:35,640 Speaker 6: she was, you know, enjoying it, not enjoying it, having 1028 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,880 Speaker 6: good friends not good friends. She would also have that 1029 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,400 Speaker 6: in her life. And you know she came from that 1030 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,960 Speaker 6: from grandmother and stuff like that. We have that, but 1031 00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:48,040 Speaker 6: really she really she experienced the polarity, and I'm glad 1032 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,760 Speaker 6: she did because now it's just made her stronger and wiser, 1033 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,680 Speaker 6: and you know, she can honestly sit in the circle 1034 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,279 Speaker 6: of women now and carry her own and really know 1035 00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,759 Speaker 6: how to show up in an embodiment that is off, 1036 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,480 Speaker 6: you know what I mean.

They create 1105 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,400 Speaker 5: these higherarchys where it's like, oh, I have to be 1106 00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,760 Speaker 5: in this position though in the group, or I have 1107 00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 5: to come in the group this way and I give advice, 1108 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,240 Speaker 5: but I don't let anything in or you know, And 1109 00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 5: so it's really important to start evaluating even if you 1110 00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:42,320 Speaker 5: even if there is friends community around you with non judgment, 1111 00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,560 Speaker 5: start evaluating, well, who am I now and how does 1112 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:48,320 Speaker 5: that feel now? Or what is the placement between us? 1113 00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,760 Speaker 5: And is there equal give and receive, because sometimes people 1114 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:56,200 Speaker 5: can show up in relationships and give to avoid themselves 1115 00:59:56,360 --> 01:00:00,880 Speaker 5: and give to avoid intimacy or any real growth and 1116 01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,320 Speaker 5: then not allow the other person to kind of come 1117 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 5: in in the ways that they should. And so yeah, 1118 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,640 Speaker 5: I just I feel that I love that too, because 1119 01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:12,880 Speaker 5: when you were talking about you know, it's like you 1120 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:16,400 Speaker 5: show up authentically, you show up as yourself, which means 1121 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,520 Speaker 5: there is no performance. And when there's not performance, nothing 1122 01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:24,200 Speaker 5: is trying to be concealed, which means sometimes I'm in 1123 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:28,439 Speaker 5: the position of having a word to give, and sometimes 1124 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,479 Speaker 5: you're in the position of having a word to give, 1125 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,640 Speaker 5: and sometimes we're in a position going back and forth 1126 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:38,400 Speaker 5: like that for four hours or simply witnessing the word 1127 01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:40,400 Speaker 5: in one another, you know. 1128 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,240 Speaker 1: And I think that's the beauty of. 1129 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 5: What I love about the friendships in my life right now, 1130 01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,920 Speaker 5: we're not there solving each other's problems.
