I just dang 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.360 on near chopped off my finger. I shouldn't say that, 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:49.920 but I definitely sliced my thumb. I was in the 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.319 kitchen and I was, um, I get scalloping some red 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:57.840 potatoes and no, don't gone. Well, you know, um it 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.960 starts with M. What is the what is the device 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.160 where you take your vegetable and you could put it 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:05.560 on there and then you just bring it back and 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.840 forth and slice slice anyho. It has a handler thing 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.360 that you put on top of the vegetable. Well, Dawn, hello, John, 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.280 why didn't you use that? Didn't do that? Dang on 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:20.800 near slices? Saw my finger? God, And then I did 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:22.600 end up going to emergency. I didn't think it was 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.320 that big of a deal, but you know, I'm not 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.280 in the business of losing my fingers. And you know, 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:28.640 there was a little bit of white me plus a 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:30.679 little bit of the bed of my um nail like 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.680 tripped off, and I figured it would be safe to 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.920 be sorry. I figured I would rather be safe than 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.640 to be sorry rather, so I went up there. They 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.319 put some liquid on there and passed it up and 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:47.600 I was on my way. So I'm I'm all goshed out. Hey, um, anyway, 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.880 time for a check. You get your right right with 0:01:53.120 --> 0:02:02.960 me and get excited. How you're doing. I'm good, I'm 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.400 I'm good, I'm good. So let me tell you what's 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.960 going on. I think last time we spoke, I was 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.880 so excited because I was like Dawn Day with Vitamin 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.560 D and Studio E were other things that are going on. 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.200 We've really been going in behind the scenes and making 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.360 sure that we have the structure of the show together. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.600 So if you've been listening, you might hear the breaks 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.680 in between, like with the Anthony Hamilton's with the list 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.200 Cross with Ananda Louis. Just a lot of the celebrity 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.280 and every day amazing people on the show doing drops. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:38.800 I mean, we're emulating, so that definitely feels good. And uh, Jeremiah, 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.480 he up there behind the ball right now. Let me 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.280 tell you something you know I said all the time 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.200 and I'm gonna say it again. Your dreams don't work 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:54.120 unless you do. Vitamin D started out underneath the Comforter 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.639 in Harlem, New York, Uptown one forty and Satan Nick 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:04.160 two St. Nicholas Avenue, to be exact, was it five 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:10.079 or five? Me? Uh huh um, And we were we 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.400 were chuckling because the last episode we did we had 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:17.720 Jasmine Burke on there. And while it started years ago 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.520 and beneath the Comforter, when Jaredmiah joined along, We're up 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:25.839 in my living room slash office area and I got 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.639 him Caddy corner and I'm sitting in front of another 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.760 area and he's channeling in talking to the guests. This 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.680 was Jasmine when we first had her on the show 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:40.360 on the podcast. For the conversation, she was like, she said, Oh, 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.600 I had to tell Dawn something. Jarreedmiah gonna lean over 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:47.960 and say hey Dawn. She's like, oh, Dawn's right there, 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.480 just to running joke. But I say all that to 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.720 say why Vitamin D was starting off underneath the comforter. 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.360 We graduated out of my house. First, I was in 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.520 my closet. That's when my first interview jan Throw Brown. 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.080 You we can see some of the earlier interviews because 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.440 I was sweating. I was in the closet, and then 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.800 we moved over into the living room at the TV 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.720 and the picture. I had the plan. Now we're in 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.600 the studio, and so I'm chuckling because now Jeremiah is 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:19.280 back there on the other side and I'm in here. 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:23.160 So that's what studio E means. Um. But as we 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.440 are getting the show together and getting everything tight, that 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.599 feels good. Also, I still don't know what's happening financially. 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:37.120 Ain't that crazy? I know? And I say that because 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.800 when they say you gotta go all in for your dreams, 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.480 you truly have to make a decision to go all 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.920 in and all in. I'm not saying give up everything 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:53.640 you have, but all in meaning treading unfamiliar territory. That's 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.400 what I think really means all in. I think some 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.400 people think, oh, I have to be down out. No, 0:04:58.000 --> 0:04:59.640 you need to be in a state where you can grow. 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.880 Be Yes, if you understand, if you're familiar where you 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.880 are and where you're resigning, where is the growth of that? 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.280 The growth is the changing process. And if you're consistently 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.760 being the same, how are you growing against? How are 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:19.320 you changing? So I don't know what's gonna happen, but 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:20.680 I feel like it's gonna be all right, because you know, 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.680 just God gives sprinkling news like just awesome on some 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.480 for real transparency, because I'm not gonna sell this whole 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.880 idea of Oh Dawn decided to lead to Steve Harvey 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.800 Morning shows, a digital content producer, and everything was all 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.719 rainbows and butterflies. Some amazing stuff has happened, yes, but 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.960 it doesn't mean that it isn't like scary or nerve wrecking. 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.880 So I had gotten this, um, I had got a 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.120 doctor's bill. We're gonna talk about a lot of stuff because, uh, 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.400 I want to make sure that I'm talking to the people. 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:55.000 So I got a doctor's bill. Why am I embarrassing 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.599 to say, Oh my guys, I'm working out of shame 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.919 and it shouldn't be embarrassing because what if you're listening 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.839 right now, could be dealing with the same thing, dawn. 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.080 So this is when I have to ask myself, don't 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.640 on what do you want to see? How transparent this is? 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.000 Because if I say that I'm gonna grow out with 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.520 this podcast and the world will know vitamin D, I 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.240 have to get out of the business or whatever I'm 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.200 holding back because who am I protecting? Like the truth 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.479 is the truth? And like what did we all? I 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:28.080 said this before in the episode um Gammy Jada Pinkett's mother, 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.120 she said, no one can beat you with your own truth. 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:35.480 So doctor's bills, I have five broids, and so I 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.720 had to go get the skin and just making sure 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.400 everything together and we'll talk about it some more, just 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.720 how I've changed my diet um taking herbs and on 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.159 this journey. I'm actually looking at the foundation right now 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.120 because I want me more people to talk about it. 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.360 A lot of people don't understand how many African American 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.680 women suffer from fire broids and what it's like and 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.159 what it's like going through it, and the fact that 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.640 I was just a shame right now. I said, why 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.520 why do we cover this show? Ain't Jerremya probably is 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.520 so tired of me talking about Burnet Brown. But it's 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:08.040 just so real because this whole realm of vulnerability allows 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.920 to connect. So I saw that to say they did 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.720 the ultrasound, I was all up in there. They did whatever. 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:17.080 I got this bill, and I looked at I said, well, 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:21.320 we'll be gonna do God. And it's something when you 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.360 just hold on and you just stay fast. And I 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.640 was talking to Charlotte, that's my sister, and she was 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.960 like a girl's like, that's my something that you worry about, 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:31.680 you know right now? So I waited a little bit 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.240 longer than Thank God, I gotta notice from my insurance 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:40.280 that knocked off, like of the bill, dead ass. So 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.040 it's one of those things of how I always say, 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.120 how you gotta put one ft in front of the other, 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:51.240 how things just work out like it has to work out. So, 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.040 like I said, you don't just flying around and just 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:56.600 in a win and it's like, God, it's gonna make 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.480 a way, but you have to open the door. And 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.800 I guess put a foot foot word. So that's on 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:06.560 the good news. Um, what else is going on? Let's 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.320 talk about this whole idea of vulnerability. It's really changed 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:13.760 in my life, y'all. And just like when I'm talking 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:18.080 about growth, Um, what vulnerability is allowing me is to 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.920 really connect. Like I'm sure me just talking about having 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.400 fire boards probably has connected with somebody. And guess we're 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.480 gonna get more in a conversation because it's very darring, 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.640 it's very shocking, it's very unnerving, and the fact that 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.040 so many other people can relate and aren't talking about it. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.079 So hopefully we made a connection there. But um, vulnerability, 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.680 I I never really was one to put a lot 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.599 out there, and not because I didn't want to. My 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.160 whole thing has gotta be safe. But my thing is 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:44.920 like you know, sometimes I'm being safe. Who are you 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.560 protecting yourself from? I don't know. I'm asking that right 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:52.920 now to myself. But in treading these unfamiliar waters, I've 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.680 opened up myself to a lot of opportunity. Even sitting 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.880 right here, even talking to you right now, I open 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.040 up the vulnerability to stay in into Dawn and say, Dawn, 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.800 what do you want. I'm open up the possibility for 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:07.320 a relationship because I'm opening myself up to that, you know, 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.840 putting myself on the front line. I think often times 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.240 we don't put ourselves on the front line a fight 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.120 or we're gonna what we're gonna lose. But imagine putting 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.480 yourself on the front line for everything you're going into game. 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.880 And I think that's what it's about living your best life. 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:26.400 So that's what's going on right now, and right when 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.760 I think or why when I feel like I want 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.040 to go and despair, God just sends like these whispers, 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:36.280 these opportunities, And I think that's the part that has 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.800 to hold onto your faith. That's what you really have 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:43.040 to hold onto your faith because you can't rely on 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.720 what you see. You got to rely on the vision. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.240 And the vision was given to you like when you 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.439 were a kid. That's why you thought you could fly 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:51.559 and do all this cool stuff. Because you have this vision, 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:58.640 you have the superpowering, you know, and while the fruit 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:00.480 of what it looks like or what it supposed to 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.120 look like, when it comes up, I see how the 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.280 roots are digging deep. So it's exciting coming up on 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.800 some talk shows and stuff. You know we're gonna talk 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.920 about that. Sometimes I think, um, I just look back 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:12.800 and not to sound any kind of way, this is 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.439 just me being honest. I am one of those people that, 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.520 um like, when I go to TV shows like talk shows, 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.320 game shows. They picked me to be on TV and 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.400 I'm walking in that. I'm walking in that I'm honing 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:26.840 and I'm not trying to say it because I'm trying 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:28.640 to sound conceited or I'm trying to do too much. 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.040 Is that that's the favor that God put on my life. 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.280 And I don't think it's my accident. Why I am 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.280 drawn to the TV, why I'm doing what I do 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.640 right now, because I get life from It's like, so 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.160 I was like, dog w how do you get on there? 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.199 How do you not clam up? Because that's when I'm 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:45.199 on And the thing that's so interesting, I guess when 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:48.959 the cameras are on. I told my instetition, Yes, that's 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.600 how the skin stays together. Shout out to Cassandra. I'm 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:55.520 not concerned who's looking at me, because I think that's 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.600 probably why we clam up because it's like all eyes 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:02.360 on us, on me. I'm just concerned with just being done. 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:04.640 And you know, I had an emotional moment I can't 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:05.839 talk about right now, but I'm gonna tell you what 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.520 the show is after airs because I ain't trying to 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.559 get in trouble. You know, this is a major opportunity. 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.240 But I was telling my trainer, I was on a 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:16.559 major talk show, nationally syndicated talk show, a moment and 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.640 this whole saying my name and we're gonna talk about 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:23.120 it later because they bay. But I was telling my 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.560 trainer Latife and I had told him. I was like, 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.360 thank you so much, thank you so much because I 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.600 was able to be on national TV and a sports 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:36.240 brawl and spandex pants. Now, if you follow to me, 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.480 you know that one of my dreams is to jog 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.000 in the New York City Marathon in the sports brawl 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.640 spanic shorts. But the fact that I was able to 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.880 love on Dawn, which is the whole vulnerability of stepping up. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.240 We want to work out, talking and I got something 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.079 else to say about working out, and this way he 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:56.240 lost journey too. But because I chose on right, I 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.400 was able to get up there and be authentically done 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.960 and be magical. And I think that's the thing that's amazing, 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.560 Like when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable of who 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.720 we are and maybe perhaps that's just allowing us to 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.400 see us that we can truly be who we are 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.840 meant to be and if we are who were meant 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.720 to be. Can you imagine what you can do? Like dog? 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.880 Imagine like the wheel on a tire, it goes round. 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.400 It's the tire. I thought that it was supposed to 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:31.280 be a ladder. Where could it go? But now that 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.080 the tire is placed on a car, it just keeps moving. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.080 That may not have been the best analogy, but what 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.080 I'm trying to say is when you can see yourself 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:47.760 and show up as yourself, oh man, amazing things can happen. 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.840 And it's it's it must be like some part of 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.640 life we we get caught up and and and perhaps 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.360 looking at everyone that's looking at us, rather than just 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.600 looking at ourselves and being who we are. So I 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.600 had to thank him because him giving me the tools 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.960 to work out and do what I need to do 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:15.240 allowed me to authentically be authentically perform on the show 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.839 What in a sports Bonne spandex pants. Now, I will 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:21.320 say this as part of the check in that I 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:25.320 want to share. I've been getting little anoyed with myself. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.360 Mm hmm yeah, and I'm just gonna shed light on 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.360 because I'm gonna keep it real with you. I saidly 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.920 getting annoyed with myself because, like I told you, I 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.280 just told you about the fire board situation. Now, but 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.360 you're gonna talk about this because I'm sure somebody out 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.520 there and had a blood clot when my dad died 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.439 of a blood clot. When I started off with the 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.280 Steve Harvy Morning Show that first, we got a pain 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:46.840 in my leg. I don't know what it was. I 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:48.920 thought I was walking on some hills and I had 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.640 got a cramp or something like that. I wanted the doctor, 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.800 mind you, this is a prime example why I wanted 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.320 the doctor on this. I um, I wasn't gonna go 0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.400 and my friend was like, Dawn, your legs should not 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.920 just be hurting like that. I'm just like up. So 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.960 I ended up going up there on long Behold, it 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.520 was a blood clock. So while I just sliced this finger, 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.480 I just come in a mode of not taking chances. 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:11.000 But I say all that to say, when I was 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.400 diagnosed with that, so that was a whole stressing. Then 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.960 we got the whole five word situation. Um, if you 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.560 have any idea, we can imagine, just imagine what that's about. 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:21.720 But I said, I had to change my life and 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.680 I had to change my diet, and that's why I 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.200 went to the whole vegan lifestyle. You know, that's when 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:27.960 I don'tsourced this guy with the earth. But the reason 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.200 why I'm getting frustrated because now that I transition out, 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.280 you know, the vegan meal plan, that I was doing 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.880 some things, it was time for me to change. Also 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:41.040 due to my budget, time for things to change. And 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.680 I'm working on getting familiar back in the grocery stores. 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.000 I know it sounds crazy, but when you get used 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.040 to certain things, that's why we have to remember to 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.600 keep working our muscles and to keep growing. You almost 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.360 forget how to work in other environments. So it's almost 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.320 like going into the grocery store and I'm not suring 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.080 what I buy. And I used to cook all the time. 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.560 I used to have and I should get Hoscarrino the 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.760 eat clean diary charge. I used to do that, and 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.480 I mean all my meals shut it down. But because 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.000 of the fibroids. Uh, there's certain processed foods that you 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.400 should not be eating. So it's trying to make food. Well, Dawn, 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.360 if we're working on a mission, you're working your butt 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.600 all three days a week, why you keep eating these 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.680 doing the sands and chips. It ain't even like I'm 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.520 eating war made fatty stuff. But I guess I'm frustrated 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.600 because you know, it's the same thing that I keep 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:29.160 talking about all the time. What do you want see? 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.400 I keep saying, like, Dawn, I want you to support 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.480 me doing self, support yourself and to shrink these fire 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.720 broyds and to get this weight off because I know 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.880 what I operate in my true self. And when I 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:40.960 say in my true self, just looking on the weight 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.680 the weightside, it's something to be said. When you don't 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.520 have to sit there and keep pulling on your shirt 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.720 to keep adjustice something, trying to breathe in, can't close 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.320 your legs and leads, keep splitting something, because that's what 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.920 you're constantly worried about. But when you are comfortable in yourself, 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.520 and I'm not saying just because you're overweight, I'm saying 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.600 that's my truth and what I was doing that was 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:01.920 something I was always checking for and now be in 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.800 a situation where that's not the thing. Well, Don, why 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:07.520 aren't you supporting the mission? You are seeing the benefits 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.680 and the confidence, how inspiring you are for other people? 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.000 Why are you cutting yourself short? So then down? What 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:18.800 is it that you want? Everyone? I'm Otie and we 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.640 are investors and tenoral sellers wine company. Be sure to 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.520 like sharing. Subscribed to the Vitamin D with Don Day 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:29.000 podcast available wherever you get your favorite podcasts. Like I 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:33.040 really got frustrated because on top of effect so sidebar 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.640 of the whole thing of weight gain, of just eating 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.360 all these processed foods and stuff, side on the fact 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.520 of enlarging the fire boards because of the processed food. 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.320 Are we not thinking about the chemicals that can cause cancer? 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.280 Do you not thinking about the fact that your mother 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:51.360 died of stage four breast cancer? Your aunt died of 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.640 stage four I think it may have been staged four, 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:57.680 but she died of cancer, had cancer? Like, what's up? 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:00.720 And it's like, dog, you all to get to to 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.160 a point where you're going to have to make a 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.399 decision of what you want in your life. You know 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.359 what I put up this quote recently. I'm about to 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.119 read it to you right now because that applies to 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.520 what I'm saying. I've been on this trip for a minute. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.720 They're just talking about what it is that you want, 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.320 and I put up this quote. I said, to change 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:22.160 your life, you need to change your priorities. Dog, what 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.520 do you want now? I'm sitting here all day talking 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.960 about I want to live my best life on purpose 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.240 and for a purpose. And here I am this part 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.520 of this addiction of whatever this is, whatever this stinky 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:37.520 stuff is. I need it out and perhaps I need 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.200 to share and I need to talk about it because 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.080 this whole idea of sometimes that we sweep things under 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.960 the rug as if it doesn't exist. So as much 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.199 as I love food, there is an appropriate way to 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.360 love food. Now, while I say like I I will 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:53.119 do the whole vegan lifestyle, I'm gonna be transparent that 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:54.879 it's gonna be fingering is because I like food. But 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.840 I think everything is about balance. Heck, just like we 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:00.240 talk about the end of the yang, then in the 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:04.159 day one can't exist without the other. But it's not 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.800 like we're going five days straight at just sunlight for 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.520 us staying awake five days straight. You gotta rest, you 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:15.879 gotta teeter a little bit. So that's what I'm go 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.359 I am annoyed with myself with that because I'm not 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:23.239 choosing down not not not how I should. And if 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.120 I'm gonna sit here and tell folks how to love 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.040 on this stuff, they've gotta be example. But here is 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.720 another thing that I'm gonna say to you. It's something 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.800 that I have to say to myself. Have grace with 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:38.399 yourself done. That's something that I'm learning too, because I 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.760 think sometimes we go onto the extreme and do O 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:42.680 D a little too much, and it's just like, wait 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:46.240 a minute, see yourself and see yourself as a person, 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:51.480 see yourself as somebody, um who's not perfect, and see 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:56.800 yourself as perfectly imperfect, if that makes sense, Like, because 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.479 I think we all deserve a little patience, you know. 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.000 You know this if we talk about the whole weight 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:05.399 loss with me, it's not like I got here overnight. Know, 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.640 this took some time. So do I take some time 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:16.840 to to un program some things? You know? Yeah, So 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.320 that's what's going on. But it's good, um, good things 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:21.320 are wrapping up with the podcast, and I guess not 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.480 I guess that's why I know I can stay positive. 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.919 And I say to you, like, whatever it is that 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:30.200 you want or whatever you're going after, just keep going. 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:34.000 Don't rely on to see the leaves or the fruit 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:39.960 just yet, because you can't forget about the roots, because 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:45.120 Lord forbid your treat girls all the way up and 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.280 you may experience something that was a little off putting 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:52.199 and it falls down. No, you gotta get those rules strong. You. 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.280 I don't know what you're going after. You gotta put 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.399 in that sweat equity whatever it looks like, and have 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:02.800 grace and grace also looks like. Um. A friend was 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:08.680 hit me up and his brother super talented. He can 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.359 he reads poetry, and he hit me up and he 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:17.560 was like, wow, down, I can't believe you started your 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.639 podcast underneath a comforter. He was like, you're in the student. 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:22.879 I'm like yes, because I always tell him, like, just 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.439 pick up the camera, record yourself. You just gotta get 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.240 the get used to doing the motion. I was just 0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.600 telling um someone else. I was like, you don't wake 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:33.280 up and decide to be a mother, You just are 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:35.440 a mother. So we're getting this whole thing of perfection, 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.119 which doesn't allow grace that we're already supposed to have 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:40.879 everything together. You just operated it and some days are 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.080 going to be the best or the perfect day. So 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:44.840 while I'm telling my friend about the portion, you may 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.400 not read it perfectly so the first time, but it's 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:49.360 just like, you gotta operate in it. You gotta get 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.840
