1 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, Welcome back to Cheeky's and Chill podcast. I 2 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: hope your week is off to a happy, healthy, and 3 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: productive start. Today we're going to get into some things. 4 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: As you can tell by the title of the episode. 5 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about letting go, letting go of 6 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: everyone who no longer serves you, who no longer deserves 7 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: your time, energy, and attention. Let's do this, Okay. So, 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys listened to the first 9 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: episode of the season, but if you haven't, go listen 10 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: to that, because then you're going to understand a little 11 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: bit more as to why I wanted to talk about 12 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: this topic very early on in the season because I 13 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: realized a few weeks ago that with this new change 14 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: or whatever it is that I'm going through or growing through, 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: should I say because I'm growing. I know I'm growing. 16 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: I know that I'm going to upset a few people maybe, 17 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: and I'm okay with that, and specifically people that have 18 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: to do with like my music career, because I don't 19 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: know if they're going to understand where I'm at, and 20 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: that's okay. I don't necessarily feel the need anymore to 21 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: like explain myself or over explain myself or have people 22 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: meet me where I'm at, and I don't necessarily want 23 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: to meet people where they're at. Whoever's meant to be 24 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: in my life is going to be in my life, 25 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: and it doesn't have to feel forced. I don't want 26 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: it to feel forced. We're just going to be on 27 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: the same frequency when I tell you, hey, this is 28 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: what I'm feeling, or be like, hey, cool, awesome, I'm 29 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: happy for you. Hell yeah, Like I'm going to feel 30 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: it right away is what I feel. And I know 31 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: there are going to be people that are going to 32 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: be like, what are you talking about? What do you mean? 33 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: Why would you do that? Like why would you put 34 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: a pause? Especially with like my career. You know, I 35 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: just won my third Grammy. I was nominated for the 36 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: second time in the American Grammy. Like my career musically 37 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: has been going amazing, and I'm so freaking grateful. And 38 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: some people would probably think like, Okay, this is not 39 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: the time, you need to keep the momentum going. But 40 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: in a way, I feel content with what I've been 41 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: able to accomplish. Not in a way I feel very content. 42 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: I feel very grateful. And you have to know when 43 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: to walk away. I have seen so many people, and 44 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: not just in my career or in my industry, should 45 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: I say, but in so many different industries that people 46 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: keep pushing because it gives them money, Like I understand that, 47 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: but they're not necessarily happy one hundred percent. They feel 48 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: like their soul is calling them to do something else 49 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 1: or take a little break, and they don't, and they 50 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: keep going and instead of it helping their career, it 51 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: damages their career and their image. And I am okay 52 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: with saying I want to put a pause, not a 53 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: stop button, just a pause button where it's like I'm 54 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: going to press the pause button for a little bit, 55 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: go do something else real quick, and figure something out 56 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: within myself, because if Janey is not spiritually aligned and 57 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: feeling good and feeling centered, then she's not going to 58 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: be able to be okay. For Cheeky's the person that 59 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: goes on tour and is on stage and gives so 60 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: much of herself, Like I feel like I need to 61 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: come back to Janee and I explain this all in 62 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: the first episode, but I have noticed and I don't 63 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily want to say names because but I 64 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: think they know who they are. But I don't necessarily 65 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: want to say names because I don't think it's necessary. 66 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: But I think some people are kind of like maybe 67 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: not taking me that seriously. They're kind of like, oh, 68 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: it's just a moment thing. Maybe she's being emotional, you know, 69 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: like she's tired right now, like you know, because I was. 70 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: You know, last year was an and I this year. 71 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: I started off the year a little like exhausted, like 72 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: mentally more than anything. But it's not that this is 73 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: so much deeper than that. And I feel like the 74 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: people that are meant to be in my life or 75 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: this new season of my life are going to embrace 76 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: it and embrace this change and are going to be 77 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: excited for me. And if they're not, it's not like, okay, peace, 78 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: you're out of my life. No, but it's okay. If 79 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: we're not as close as we used to be, I'm 80 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: ready to lose all the right people or to lose 81 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: those relationships. Like if there's a friend, for instance, that 82 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: it's kind of like, oh, you know, don't have a baby, 83 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna be like, well, then maybe you're not 84 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: meant to go with me to this next season of 85 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: my life. Because if you're not going to embrace what 86 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: I'm trying to do, especially if that person has kids. 87 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: You know, it's like, uh, wait, so you can have kids, 88 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: but just because I'm choosing to have children a little later, like, oh, 89 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: don't do it. That's not fair, you know. So that's 90 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: kind of where I'm at. I'm really listening in to 91 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: conversations and reading between the lines and really listening to 92 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: my soul right now. And I've been doing this for 93 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: a while, but now, more than ever, I'm okay with 94 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: walking away from situations or people, friendships, relationships that no 95 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: longer serve my highest good, like more than ever, especially 96 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. This is the year of the Snake Geys, 97 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: and with the snake comes a lot of wisdom rebirth 98 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: because a snake sheds their skin, so you're like rebirth 99 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: and changing and becoming who you're meant to become for 100 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: the next x amount of years. That's what this year 101 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: is all about. It's going to bring wisdom and it's 102 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: going to bring all that good stuff, but it also 103 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: is going to allow us to see people for who 104 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: they are, because you know, a snake is a serpent, 105 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: so they're sneaky and a lot of mass are going 106 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: to fall off in this twenty twenty five. You're going 107 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: to see people for who they really really are. A 108 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: lot of that is going to come up. So that 109 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: is going to prompt you to be you know, wiser 110 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: and make better choices hopefully and become a new person. 111 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: And this is something that I've kind of been feeling 112 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: since October November of last year, where I'm like, Okay, 113 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: something is happening, something is changing within me, and I 114 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: need to embrace it because change is uncomfortable. It is 115 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: and I'm a cancer and I've learned to be better 116 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: with change because cancers were not good with change. We 117 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 1: don't like change. It's like we are creatures of habit. 118 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: But that's also not good either. So I've learned to 119 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: be okay and embrace and welcome change. So I know 120 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: a lot of change is coming in my life and 121 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. And that also means that I'm 122 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: going to lose people along the way, and I am 123 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: open to it now, and I know that that's going 124 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: to hurt me. But if that means that I'm going 125 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: to be better and they're going to be better as 126 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: human beings, then so be it. Especially for my future 127 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: and for my future family. I need to protect that 128 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: more than ever. All I can say to those people 129 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: that I will be letting go and I might not 130 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: even know exactly who they are yet I have an 131 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: idea of a couple that I feel like, oh damn, 132 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: I think we're going to drift apart, hopefully not on 133 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: bad terms. Is that I don't want that, Like I 134 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: don't want to drop in my life either. Like I 135 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: just now, I'm like, huh uh. Even if someone wants 136 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: to fight, I'm like, I don't want to fight with you. 137 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: I don't have the energy. Like it's just cause I 138 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: like to argue. I like to argue, and then I 139 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: like to be right, so I'll argue. But I'm not 140 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: even like, no, I don't even want to bring that 141 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: into my life. So I feel like half of those 142 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: people I don't even know who they are, but I 143 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: know it's coming and I know it's going to happen. 144 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. It makes me a little bit sad, 145 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: but I'm like, well, it is what it is. This 146 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: is something that unfortunately or fortunately I'm kind of used to. 147 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: I wish everyone well and their loss. I'm just kidding. 148 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: Imagine I'm just like, Okay, it's your loss. No, But 149 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: but I'm I don't know if I necessarily have anything 150 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: to say to these people in particular. But it's more 151 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: of like peace be with you sort of thing, and 152 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: peace be with me, and that's it. Like I'm okay 153 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: with it. And it sounds so crazy because back in 154 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: the days I'm talking about back in the days, I've 155 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: been the type of person to hold on to people 156 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: knowing this isn't a good situation for me, this isn't 157 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: a good person, but let me hold on because I 158 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: think I can change them, because I think I can 159 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: convince them. I want their approval. I was a people 160 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: pleaser and I would hold onto situations and to people, 161 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: even knowing it's not good for me.
