Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, it's your big sister Cheeky's and you've reached
Speaker 1: my personal voicemailbox for the Dear Cheeky's podcast. I'm here
Speaker 1: to give you advice on anything and everything you need
Speaker 1: help with. Whether you're going through a breakup or having
Speaker 1: issues with your family, or maybe you have a question
Speaker 1: about my personal life. Whatever the case is, I want
Speaker 1: to hear from you. Remember these are my thoughts in
Speaker 1: my opinions, and if you're suffering from a serious issue
Speaker 1: or hardship, you should seek help from a qualified professional.
Speaker 1: All right, now, go ahead and leave your message at
Speaker 1: the sound of the beeB.
Speaker 2: Hi Cheeky's, I just wanted to get on here just
Speaker 2: to say hi to you and see how you were doing.
Speaker 2: I know I had sent your messages through Instagram and
Speaker 2: ozapin that iching, but anyways, yeah, I do want you
Speaker 2: to answer me. I know you're gonna be really busy.
Speaker 2: I know you're planning to have a baby soon, so
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of factors into it, so
Speaker 2: I understand. But the actual question that I had right
Speaker 2: now is I seen the podcast that you made with
Speaker 2: somebody that was related to ghost therapy that you were
Speaker 2: able to connect to your mom and your stepdad in
Speaker 2: a spiritual way. And I am just I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm just curious and I want to hear how that
Speaker 2: made you feel, because honestly, throughout that podcast, it made
Speaker 2: me freaking cry. It like I don't know, like the
Speaker 2: wind chimes how they how they rang, whenever your mom
Speaker 2: was talking to you, like I don't know. It was
Speaker 2: just so so touching and it touched my heart and
Speaker 2: it made me cry because I felt so many emotions
Speaker 2: and I don't know. It's just something that I want
Speaker 2: to hear from you, and I just want you to
Speaker 2: know that I love you so much and keep doing
Speaker 2: what you're doing because you're awesome and you're meant to
Speaker 2: do this to get muncho.
Speaker 1: Oh Ivan, thank you so much. Okay, So those of
Speaker 1: you who don't know what he's talking about. I went
Speaker 1: on a podcast called Ghosts There Be back in April,
Speaker 1: and she basically the host of the podcast, she connects
Speaker 1: with your loved ones or people that have passed, and
Speaker 1: she connects with my mom. We got a lot of
Speaker 1: really great feedback from that podcast, and I also got
Speaker 1: some not so positive feedback, you know, from religious people,
Speaker 1: which I understand and I respect, but for me, I
Speaker 1: felt at the very beginning a little skeptical. Maybe I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's the right word, but I was
Speaker 1: a little. And then as the conversation progressed, I felt
Speaker 1: better about it and even more and more and more,
Speaker 1: and like at the end, I felt so much peace
Speaker 1: and I let out a good cry and I felt good.
Speaker 1: I have been feeling very connected to my mom lately,
Speaker 1: so I think that that conversation happened at the perfect time.
Speaker 1: So many things were said that I haven't told a
Speaker 1: lot of people, just very very close people, and especially
Speaker 1: people that don't talk to her. So I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening here, but something is happening.
Speaker 1: And I do believe obviously in the spiritual world. And
Speaker 1: I just had the conversation. I took what I needed
Speaker 1: and everything else, I just I left it there, you know.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how I take things like that.
Speaker 1: I don't try to think more than I have to,
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. But it definitely gave me a
Speaker 1: lot of peace and just oh, it was just like
Speaker 1: a sigh of release. But thank you for listening to that,
Speaker 1: and thank you Papah for I love it, Keep it,
Speaker 1: keep keep it going. I love it. Sending you a
Speaker 1: big hugbub okay. Second question comes from Diana.
Speaker 3: Hi Cheeky's. I know you're very big on therapy and
Speaker 3: I'm trying my best to do some healing. The only
Speaker 3: thing is I'm in a very tight budget. I live
Speaker 3: a frugal lifestyle in the process of paying off debt,
Speaker 3: and I would like to know do you have any
Speaker 3: suggestions for someone like me that cannot afford therapy? You know,
Speaker 3: is there a certain any books that you recommend, any
Speaker 3: other resources, because the only thing I can think of
Speaker 3: right now are books, but I don't know what else.
Speaker 3: I will already appreciate your feedback.
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you so much Diana for your question, and
Speaker 1: I definitely understand. I get it. I know that therepy
Speaker 1: can be pricey, but I know that there are groups
Speaker 1: you can find near you. I don't know exactly where
Speaker 1: you live, but you can check online. There's online communities
Speaker 1: as well. Also, prayer is huge, you know, I'm huge
Speaker 1: on prayer and meditation. Good podcast like mine, you know,
Speaker 1: we love this podcast, but also I love Jay Shetty's
Speaker 1: podcast on Purpose. I love a good cry. There are
Speaker 1: so many great podcasts. It just all depends what you're
Speaker 1: looking for, but there are amazing podcasts out there. Also.
Speaker 1: You did mention books, and there is a book that
Speaker 1: I'm reading right now that I'm loving. Okay. It's called
Speaker 1: This Is Enough by doctor Sarah Alexander and I bought
Speaker 1: it on Amazon, and it's a book but also a journal.
Speaker 1: So what I like about it is that it's almost
Speaker 1: like a life coach, and it gives you, It prompts
Speaker 1: you to think and think outside of the box and
Speaker 1: really be honest with your feelings, and it's helping you
Speaker 1: throughout the book, and the more you journal, it's helping
Speaker 1: you figure out what is that one situation, whatever it
Speaker 1: may be, or that one person even that is causing
Speaker 1: you to get sad or angry or is triggering you
Speaker 1: in some way. So it's something that I would definitely recommend.
Speaker 1: And another one of my favorite authors. I love all
Speaker 1: her books. Her name is Marianne Williamson. Amazing, great stuff.
Speaker 1: You can't go wrong with any of her books. And
Speaker 1: one thing that I have found that has helped me
Speaker 1: a lot. I used to do it a lot more
Speaker 1: and I'm starting to get back into it is journaling.
Speaker 1: So this book this is enough will get you started
Speaker 1: on it. But I like to handwrite things, although my
Speaker 1: hand now hurts when I handwrite because I'm so used
Speaker 1: to my phone. So whatever works best for you, either
Speaker 1: you handwrite it or you put it in your notes
Speaker 1: on your phone. Regardless, the important thing is to let
Speaker 1: your feelings out. That will help you so much. We
Speaker 1: are the medicine. Okay, remember that. I know that. Obviously
Speaker 1: therapy helps. Of course, I'm a huge advocate, as you
Speaker 1: know this, but also, like you said, if right now
Speaker 1: is you can't afford it, then journaling will definitely help you.
Speaker 1: What I like to do is start off by writing
Speaker 1: down the date, because it's important. I like to write
Speaker 1: down the date and the time, and then three things
Speaker 1: that you're grateful for. There has to be three things
Speaker 1: at least that you're grateful for. It could be as
Speaker 1: simple as I have a roof over my head. Someone
Speaker 1: smiled at me. I don't know whatever it is that
Speaker 1: you're grateful for that made you feel good. And I
Speaker 1: like to journal at night because I like to go
Speaker 1: through my day and then I go through Okay, was
Speaker 1: there something that made me sad, What made me sad?
Speaker 1: How I can fix it? And in between the sadness,
Speaker 1: what made you happy? There has to be something, because
Speaker 1: it's good to let out your feelings but also compensate
Speaker 1: it with something good because that keeps your heart nice
Speaker 1: and light and with time, and the more you write,
Speaker 1: the better you'll feel. And it feels really nice to
Speaker 1: go back and read certain entries and realize, Okay, what's
Speaker 1: going on, what is it that's really triggering me? What
Speaker 1: is happening? And how can I make myself feel better
Speaker 1: or what can I do to make myself feel better?
Speaker 1: Even if it's if it's like I always say this,
Speaker 1: self care is so good and that helps a lot.
Speaker 1: So anyway, journaling is great. Try it. And also before
Speaker 1: I let you go on Instagram, there are a lot
Speaker 1: of people that are coming out with podcasts that aren't
Speaker 1: really podcasts. They're more of like motivational videos that really
Speaker 1: helped me. They're super short and concise and straight to
Speaker 1: the point and like something like that, like fifteen seconds,
Speaker 1: thirty seconds, like they really just put you back into gear.
Speaker 1: So make sure you follow the right pages. And also
Speaker 1: you're feeding your soul on a daily basis. With good,
Speaker 1: positive things so that you can feel better, you know.
Speaker 1: So hopefully that helps a little Diana, and sending you
Speaker 1: a big big hug and don't worry, read this too
Speaker 1: shall pass. I always tell myself that and always you
Speaker 1: got this girl, We got this, okay, guys. So last
