00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: On this week's episode of Cultivating her Space.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: You can't really put yourself first if you don't think

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: you're worthy of putting yourself first. It's an entire mindset

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: type of thing, which is again what we work on

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: and why automating your self care is so important, because

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: when you get this kit at your door, you're reminded

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: like the world has told me that I am not,

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: but here's the kid to tell me, no, I am,

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: and there's a community for me that truly helps me

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: feel worthy.

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,680

Speaker 4: And Terry Lomax, a techie and motivational speaker in a

26
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: Be all right ladies. Today, we have not one, but

27
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: two very special guests today. Okay, so I'm just going

28
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: to jump into the bile because I am so excited

29
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: and cannot wait to jump into this juicy conversation. Team

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: Betterness Box is led by two passionate, perfectionist, recovering gals

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: who are also sorority sisters and lifelong friends. Their stories

32
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: are much like yours. As they grew into womanhood, they

33
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: were searching for ways to feel confident, beautiful, inspired, and celebrated.

34
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: This journey led them to create a lifestyle subscription box

35
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: with black women in mind. Black women are holding up

36
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: the world while keeping the community connected, and there's a

37
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: lot riding on our shoulders. It's hard to justify downtime

38
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: with so many responsibilities, but self care is necessary to

39
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: avoid burnout. As you know, black women are divinely original,

40
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: uniquely created, and radiantly beautiful. Okay, snap snap, okay, And

41
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: it's time that we own it and with the betterness box,

42
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: you can do just that.

43
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 5: So Denise and Kaylee, welcome to cultivating her space. Hey,

44
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 5: thank you, you welcome. We're so excited. We are too,

45
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 5: thank you so much.

46
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 6: Yes, we are looking forward to this juicy conversation, and

47
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 6: so I will give us our.

48
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 5: Quote of the day now to Kaala.

49
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 6: This quote will sound familiar to you because we've been

50
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 6: on your website, we've been in your social media, and

51
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 6: these are your words. Self care for us is a

52
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 6: ritual meant to give back to ourselves in a way

53
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 6: that only we can't. And I'm gonna say that one

54
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 6: more time for the people in the back, so you

55
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 6: are grounded in this conversation. Self care for us is

56
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 6: a ritual meant to give back to ourselves in a

57
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 6: way only we can.

58
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

59
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 6: Yes, So, Denise and Cala, when you hear your words

60
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 6: spoken back to you and you think about what's an

61
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 6: amazing company that you have founded together, what comes up

62
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 6: for you when you hear this quote.

63
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 7: For us, It's interesting hearing it say from the wee perspective,

64
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 7: because that makes it sound as though it's Kayla and

65
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 7: Denise when it's like a week as a business but

66
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 7: it's really not. I think hearing that it really gets

67
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 7: to the core of really the foundation of our business,

68
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 7: which is ensuring that each individual is creating a self

69
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 7: care plan that is specific to their own needs, right,

70
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 7: and so that is really it's that's really what comes

71
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 7: up to me is really the foundational elements of how

72
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 7: our business is structured and introducing self care concepts, subject

73
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 7: matter experts, and things that sort in a way that

74
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 7: each person is able to engage at whatever level they're

75
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 7: available at that specific time, whichever season they're in, and

76
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 7: really pick out the bits and pieces that are going

77
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 7: to fit into their own individual self care ritual.

78
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: That is so good because self care is not a

79
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: one size so all, Kayla, would you want to add to.

80
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 5: That, pright?

81
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: No, it's sane, Right. I got chilled hearing someone else

82
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: read it as well. It just really took a step

83
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: back and a moment of gratefulness, right, that we have

84
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: been entrusted with this mission to be in the world

85
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: with this product and this service. And I often think

86
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: it's black women we let just like life happen to

87
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: us a lot of times, right, and take on more

88
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: than we really need to be taking on and So

89
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 2: I love the idea of being empowered to then say no,

90
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: I am going to care for myself and define the

91
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: way I do that. And so just grateful to be

92
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: at the helm of this movement to help women really

93
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: center themselves around self care and wellness a men. And

94
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: I just have to say, lady, as you're listening to

95
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: this episode, you have to go to Patroon so you

96
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: can see all these beautiful black women because I'm so

97
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: psyched out and I'm so excited just seeing all of

98
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: us on the screen and knowing that you two are

99
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: in business. Domini are in business, and I know what

100
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: we experience on day to day. We still have our

101
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: full time jobs, and so I want to know more

102
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: about your stories. So if you can tell us a

103
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: bit about the backstory behind your friendship and how you

104
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: decided to go into business together. So yes, Denise and

105
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: I we met in college right Pledge Delta Sigma, THETUS

106
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: already incorporated together Dramatic almost twenty years ago, so we

107
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: have been friends for.

108
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 5: A long time.

109
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: We crossed SPRINGO four and it was like sisterhood at

110
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: first sight, and then we became sisters for real. Right

111
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: as life continued the ups and downs, the moves right.

112
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 5: I moved all over the place.

113
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: Denise moved to Chicago out of San Diego, and so

114
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: we we really are like sisters at the heart of

115
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: all of it. And I love how the quote you

116
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: mentioned talks about ritual because there was just one day

117
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: I was on YouTube doing the natural hair stuff and

118
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: I was like, I want to figure out a way

119
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: to monetize this platform and really give back to my followers,

120
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: and was talking to my sands and was like, okay,

121
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: and what are we gonna do? And I remember her

122
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: kind of pitching this idea about a subscription and saying, Yo,

123
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: this is where it's at. This is like what is happening,

124
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: and how we can really help women be consistent with it.

125
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 5: And so one of the.

126
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: First titles that came up with was soul Right, and

127
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: it was all about creating this ritual to help women

128
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: really see how they can create a ritual around their

129
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: self care. So when it comes to it's funny to

130
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: hear that name, we didn't go with that name. Obviously

131
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: we are better in a spots, But I think it's

132
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 2: just an interesting journey. You never know where the journey's

133
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: going to take you. And now again different seasons of

134
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: each other's lives.

135
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 5: Again, I've moved all over.

136
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: Denise is married with children or a child, I should

137
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: say my little baby.

138
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 5: I love them so much. So yes, it is an.

139
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: Amazing thing to do business with each other and still

140
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: be sisters. It can be challenging at times. We talk

141
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: about that all the time, but it's a beautiful thing.

142
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 4: Hey lady, it's Terry here, Dom and I want to

183
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 7: What I like to really call out here is when

184
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 7: you are in business with somebody who you know intimately.

185
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 7: We were friends before we decided that we were going

186
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 7: to start a business together and started making money together

187
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 7: and things of that sort. Our friendship is really the

188
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 7: foundation of how we operate together. And yes, there are

189
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 7: some discussions that we have to have and you know whatever,

190
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 7: we have to figure out how to convince each other

191
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 7: to make decisions at times. All of those different things

192
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 7: that come into play with business do occur, but our

193
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 7: foundation of friendship is always there. And so what that

194
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 7: really does is it really grounds our business and how

195
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 7: we operate with each other and with really everybody on

196
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 7: our team for a certain level of respect, right and.

197
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 5: Just like open communication and things of that sort.

198
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 7: So just like to add that as Kayla kind of

199
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 7: charted our journey, but we started as friends. We were

200
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 7: friends first, and we really created the concept and the

201
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 7: idea and the business completely together.

202
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 3: Right.

203
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 7: It was like an idea, an idea, and we were

204
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 7: like we need to meet and have do the research

205
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 7: together and do the have like literally a working session

206
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 7: in person and things of that sort, even though we

207
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 7: were in different parts of the country to really create

208
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 7: what became Betterness Box.

209
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 9: Wow.

210
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 6: Thank you for creating the Betterness Box. Thank you for

211
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 6: sharing part of your journey. And as I'm listening to you,

212
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 6: one of the things that you'd hear people say often

213
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 6: is don't go into business with your friends, right, but

214
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 6: you all have, it seems have been very intentional about

215
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 6: how you went about this process.

216
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 5: And so what advice would you.

217
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 6: Offer two friends who have an idea and they're like, oh,

218
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 6: we should go into business together, what advice would you

219
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 6: have for them in terms of making sure that this

220
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 6: business opportunity is sustainable.

221
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 5: It's a great question.

222
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 2: I'll just mention, don't go into business with anybody you

223
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: ain't okay being married to Denithan, I are married, Okay,

224
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 2: we are married. Hard decisions when it comes to finances,

225
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: what we can afford, what we can afford, how to

226
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: manage the household. That's literally how we run the business.

227
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: We are managing a household and we have children, y'all.

228
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: We have employees, freelancers, a part of our team that

229
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: we have to manage and make sure that they're good.

230
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: And so, yeah, it's a lot to manage, and we're

231
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 2: managing it together.

232
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 5: It's like mom and dad, And so I.

233
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: Would say my advice would be to one, look at

234
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: whether or not a partnership makes sense. Right, this is

235
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 2: not my only partnership. I'm out here like being Stacey Abrams.

236
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: If y'all don't know, you got to read her books

237
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: because she talks about being in partnerships and what that means,

238
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: and most of her businesses are with partners and so

239
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: she dispels that whole myth around what it means to

240
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: be in a business relationship with a partner. But it's

241
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: very possible. You just have to make sure you define yes,

242
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: this is necessary. Yes, I have the capacity and the patience,

243
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: and this person is what I need and I am

244
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: what this person needs right to make it work. And

245
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: so my advice is to one make sure that you

246
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: actually even need a partner in the business that you're

247
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: trying to create.

248
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 5: And then two honest honesty, honesty.

249
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: We weren't always perfect about it, right because we at

250
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 2: least I would hold back to this, it is necessary,

251
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: this is necessary to have these hard conversations.

252
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 5: The answer is yes, have the hard conversation so you can.

253
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: Move on and figure out how to continue growing and

254
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: running the business. And so those two things stick out

255
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: for me when I think about creating a partnership and

256
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: making it work.

257
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's interesting because we also both have

258
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 7: day jobs, and in my day job, I am in

259
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 7: like partner marketing and bizdev and is that sort So

260
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 7: I work in the partnership collaboration space very frequently. But

261
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 7: I think one of the things that's very different about

262
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 7: this partnership is like we started it with a common

263
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 7: vision and we didn't start a partnership to make money.

264
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 5: Is we had the idea of this is a common

265
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 5: vision that we want to achieve.

266
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 7: This is what Denise Bryce is the table, this is what

267
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 7: Caleb brings to the to the table. This is why

268
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 7: it makes sense for us to be working together, and

269
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 7: this is how we work to Again, so I think,

270
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 7: to me, like having a common vision, right like you,

271
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 7: people get business ideas all the time, right at Sunday

272
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 7: fun Day brunch, everybody gets created. Everybody always we should

273
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 7: do this, but then there's no follow through and if

274
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 7: it took us like seventeen thousand text messages just to

275
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 7: get to that brunch where now all of a.

276
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 5: Sudden we got this idea.

277
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 7: We might not have the like the communication, the project management,

278
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 7: and the execution that it's going to take to actually

279
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 7: build something together. So I would just think about it

280
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 7: like that, Like every idea is not necessarily to be

281
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 7: a business idea, right, Like I do photography, I do

282
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 7: certain things and I'm like, this is an abby I

283
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 7: very intentionally. Yes, I've made money doing it, but that

284
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 7: is not how I make my money. So be very

285
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 7: clear on is this something that like I'm doing to

286
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 7: actually fuel this passion with this person is or do

287
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 7: we have a common vision?

288
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 5: Do we have aligned ethos? Right?

289
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 7: Does Kila care about respect in a business setting or not?

290
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 7: There are people who just operate differently. So it's all

291
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 7: of those different things and those one more thing. But

292
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 7: it's slipping my mind right now, so I'll come back

293
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 7: to it at some point, But it's having a common

294
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 7: vision and understanding, like how do we work together to

295
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 7: get there?

296
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 5: Do we understand that?

297
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 7: All of that is the foundational stuff before you even

298
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 7: get to maybe even signing a partnership agreement and determining

299
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 7: what that business might be and how you're going to

300
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 7: go about building it and things of that sort.

301
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 5: But that's my kind of perspectives, y'all. O.

302
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: If you're preaching that is so good and people don't

303
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: often think about that, like what it takes for you

304
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: to really go into business with someone. It's not just

305
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: oh I have this idea or we have this idea.

306
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: There's a lot and like you said, Kayla, it really

307
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: is like a marriage. Like Domina, I often talk about

308
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: how we co parent the podcast because this is our

309
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: baby and we do it together.

310
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 5: Right.

311
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: It's so amazing too to have a team member that

312
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: you can divide and conquer with. Right, speaking of this,

313
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: I just want to add, I'll guess remember the other yes,

314
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: come back.

315
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 7: I think the thing that happens a lot of times

316
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 7: in whenever there's two or more people is like a

317
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 7: group thing effect right where it's Kayla thinks this is

318
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 7: a good idea. So Denise showed up in this there's

319
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 7: four people in this room right now, Kayla thinks it's

320
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 7: a good idea. So naturally do I agree with what

321
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 7: Kayla has to say, a lot of times that happened

322
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 7: and I think that Kayla mentions the tough conversations, right.

323
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 7: I think one thing that we have that has really

324
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 7: helped us succeed is that we agree, like we understand

325
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 7: and appreciate each other's different perspectives. We understand what the

326
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 7: common goal is, but we can't understand and respect each

327
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 7: other's perspectives on individual decisions or individual projects if we

328
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 7: don't both have an idea of what that common goal is.

329
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 7: So it really starts with that common goal, but then

330
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 7: it filters down into every decision of being Like, Denise

331
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 7: doesn't have to think that we get there the same

332
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 7: way that Kayla thinks that we get there, but we

333
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 7: both know that we understand what the common goal and

334
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 7: the common vision is, and so we can have those

335
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 7: set conversations along the way to help us get there.

336
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 7: What is a combination of how Denise or how Kayla

337
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 7: or how other people on our team would solve that problem.

338
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 7: So just wanted to add that other layer, because it's

339
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 7: not just about being in business with somebody who thinks

340
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 7: like you or agrees with you, or thinks that what

341
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 7: you say is great. Right, all of that, y'all can

342
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 7: go to brunch together and have fun. But like I said,

343
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 7: in terms of being in business with somebody, it's no.

344
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 7: I actually respect the certain areas where Kayla operates very

345
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 7: different from me because that pushes me to think a

346
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 7: little bit different at times, and vice versa as well.

347
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I love it, and I wanted to ask you

348
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: about the Betterness Box. So we've talked about it a

349
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 2: little bit. Can you all define the Betterness Box for

350
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: folks that are not familiar and then can you talk

351
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: about what gap you feel the Betterness Box is filling

352
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: for the community. Yeah, my favorite thing to talk about.

353
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: So Betterness Box, it's better wellness. We went from salt

354
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 2: to better wellness. It was very clear. We knew that

355
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: we wanted to amplify the wellness industry for black women specifically,

356
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: and so we put those two words together and created

357
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 2: this box. And so we're a quarterly subscription box with

358
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: an assortment of items that are all around self care

359
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: and wellness and they range from candles to bodycre to

360
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 2: skincare to actual activities that you can do. In our

361
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 2: current box, we have a grow kit where you can

362
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: start your own garden.

363
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 5: That's the kind of thing that we put in our boxes.

364
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: And each season there is a theme, and so we

365
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: basically launch the theme and a whole bunch of programming

366
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 2: that comes with it. So your subscription comes with the book,

367
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 2: because there's always a book in the box those items.

368
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 2: As I mentioned, we talk about the book throughout the season.

369
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 2: We have basically a sister circle or a Betterness Workshop

370
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 2: where we meet with the women specifically to talk through

371
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: what does it look like to implement this theme right

372
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: into your life. And it takes a while to get

373
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 2: a new habit, and so we're very particular about why

374
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: it's quarterly right.

375
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 5: Where we started off monthly. That's a whole story, and we.

376
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: Realize, okay, this is a lot mounchully right, like a

377
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: whole new habit you. We want you to get and

378
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 2: use the products in thirty days, let's maybe stretch this

379
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 2: out a little bit. So it's been great since we

380
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 2: switched to quarterly and we're able to actually help the

381
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 2: women that subscribe in our community really see what comes

382
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: with making sure you dedicate time to yourself right, what

383
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: the fruits of being dedicated to yourself care, ritual and

384
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: routine are And so yes, playlists, Denise's our resident DJ.

385
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 2: She puts that together for us every season.

386
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 5: It's amazing.

387
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: You guys have to check it out on Spotify that's

388
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 2: absolutely free. And then, like I've mentioned, Wellness Wednesdays, every

389
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: other Wednesday, we always bring on subject matter experts because

390
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 2: we know we ain't all but we all that, but

391
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: we ain't all that, Okay. We make sure to bring

392
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: on the vicensed therapists and the people who are PhDs

393
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 2: in the different areas that we're trying to help the

394
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: women in, and so those are all I'm thinking. I

395
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: think we're almost to one hundred episodes of Wellness Wednesday.

396
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 2: Yes it's crazy, I can't believe it, but yes, we're

397
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: almost to one hundred episodes. So there's lots of content

398
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: you guys can go and look at on ig to

399
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: really understand what we're about as well. But it is

400
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: the ultimate luxury experience for a black woman looking to

401
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: prioritize our self care period h with the a t okay,

402
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: and that's all Perio Pood Denise, can you talk about

403
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: what gap is the betterness box feeling?

404
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 5: Yes, Kayla.

405
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 7: I like to say when Kayla was mentioning we used

406
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 7: to be monthly, I was like we were extremely ambitious.

407
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 7: Is how I phrased that last week, But I think

408
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 7: we are very still ambitious in terms of the gap

409
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 7: that we're feeling and how we're going to market. There's

410
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 7: a lot of things that we kept the same, even

411
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 7: though we change the structure of our box from monthly

412
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 7: to quarterly. So more very intentional about where we're sourcing

413
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 7: products from. Right, So we like to participate in cooperative economics, Right,

414
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 7: how are we sourcing from other small owned, women own,

415
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 7: black owned, minority owned businesses When we're looking for specific

416
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 7: products to bring one of our themes that Kayla just

417
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 7: talked about to life, we are looking for subject matter

418
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 7: experts that also look like us and have lived experience

419
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 7: that's similar to us. Of those one hundred episodes, I

420
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 7: would probably say that about ninety seven percent might be

421
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 7: a black woman or a black male that is going

422
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 7: to be bringing just straight knowledge and gems to our audience.

423
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 7: And then the other gap that we're filling is not

424
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 7: just trying to pitch a one off like self care item. Right,

425
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 7: So yes, I can go buy a candle and read

426
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 7: a book in.

427
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 5: My library, myuse or whatever.

428
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 7: Right, But the intention around the entire structure of our

429
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 7: subscription is really intended to help you create a habit,

430
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 7: help you create some kind of sustainability around your self

431
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 7: care practice, and to actually automate it in a way

432
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 7: that like, we know that black women are not going

433
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 7: to stop doing all of the things that we're doing

434
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 7: right like we're putting we put ourselves on the back burner.

435
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 7: We do a lot for everybody else. We are getting

436
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 7: a little bit better about like boundaries and saying no.

437
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 7: But at the end of the day, like the America,

438
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 7: I'll say America, will say the entire world, but America

439
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 7: does run a lot on the backs of Black women

440
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 7: in multiple different facets. What we're in, what we're trying

441
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 7: to do is really try to give you something that

442
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 7: is digestible in a way that it fits into your

443
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 7: current lifestyle, but also over time has a broader impact

444
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 7: of having you be more intentional about your self care.

445
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 5: I love this, Oh, I love this. Okay.

446
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 6: There were more questions that came up for me. What

447
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 6: I want to know in Taylor you mentioned there's a

448
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 6: story behind how y'all went from monthly to quarterly.

449
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 10: We want the tea, what's the story behind it? We no,

450
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 10: I wish I had a little cup of tea. I'm

451
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 10: a tea drinker, so I'm usually we do have a

452
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 10: cup of tea.

453
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: But yes, girl, business there's always the ups and downs,

454
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 2: and so just to share for women, so many black

455
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: women are ambitious Black women starting businesses. So definitely take

456
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: out your notebook real quick for some tip. So when

457
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: we started again, we did all of this research on

458
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 2: figuring out what it takes to create habits, right for

459
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: people in general, for humanity, what does it look like

460
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: to help people create habits?

461
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 5: What are the.

462
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: Specific things and challenges and roadblocks that black women have.

463
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 5: And so for us, it was okay if we give.

464
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: Them this kit in the beginning of monthly with these

465
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: full size products, mind you, which is very different from

466
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: the industry and still even now even for quarterly boxes.

467
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: Usually you're getting samples and we're dedicated to the full

468
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 2: size because we don't care.

469
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 5: We ain't we trying to like really help you create

470
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 5: these habits.

471

Speaker 4: Let's get back into it.

540
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 2: And so we actually had to take a step back

541
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: and take our own advice right and say, Okay, this

542
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: is not sustainable.

543
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 5: We're seeing great results.

544
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 2: We get these great reviews from these women, but some

545
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: of our audience is actually telling us.

546
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 5: And so this is the note.

547
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: When your audience tells you what they want, listen, right,

548
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 2: when your customers tell you what they want, listen, be

549
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 2: agile enough to pivot so that you can be successful

550
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: and scale your business. If you want to be successful,

551
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: if you just want to be out here lollygaggon, then

552
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: do that. But if you want to be successful, you

553
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 2: have to listen to your audience. And so our audience,

554
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: and a lot of them are personal friends, right, And

555
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: some of the especially in the beginning of your family

556
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: and friends are usually the ones who support you in

557
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: the beginning. And so I'd go over a friend's house

558
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 2: and the see stacks of boxes and I'm like, sis,

559
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 2: when you go open these and she's ain't I only

560
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: got time. Shout out to Captain Willer. I ain't got time.

561
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: I just had a baby. I don't know what you

562
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: want from me. I'm like bet, bet. And at the time,

563
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: we hadn't really heard much about like quarterly boxes. It

564
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: wasn't monthly was like the thing, And so slowly but

565
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: surely we saw quarterly was what we wanted to do,

566
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 2: and we realized how much of a luxury our box

567
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: was again not samples, but.

568
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 5: Full size product, so that now you're able to one

569
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 5: read the book.

570
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 2: Instead of trying to read a book in a month,

571
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: now you get a whole three months to read it,

572
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 2: which is much more manageable. And now you get actual

573
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: time to use the products for these three months and

574
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 2: then re up, because that's what happens a lot of

575
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: the time when we send out products, these full sized

576
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: products in our boxes, people are.

577
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 5: Like, I keep ordering it.

578
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: This has become my life. This is what I use

579
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: at night, this is what I use right before I

580
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 2: go to bed, this is what I use to meditate.

581
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 6: Right.

582
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 2: All those different things were literally giving you the tools

583
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: and resources to create those tabits. And so the lesson

584
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: for again for us, was take care of yourself so

585
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,719
Speaker 2: that you can sustain the business and really listen to

586
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 2: your customers and don't be so rigid to the vision

587
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: that you originally saw, right, be agile and able to

588
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: move and be fluid with what the market is telling

589
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: you it needs.

590
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 5: That's a whole masterclass on business. We love it.

591
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now time is fine, y'all,

592
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 2: and we want to shift up the energy a little bit. Okay,

593
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: shift it up a little bit. And because we recognize, appreciate,

594
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: and celebrate the multifaceted woman, and we believe that it's

595
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: okay to be bougie, classy and ratchet. You can still

596
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 2: be elegant and dance to strip club music if you

597
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: so choose, we want to invite you two to the

598
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: Oe You Blatchet segment.

599
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 7: Do you take on the challenge plus doing it?

600
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: Okay? Okay, Now that we got you, we're gonna tell

601
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 2: you what to expect. So we're gonna ask you three questions.

602
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: And because we have two of you, we're gonna switch off.

603
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 2: So the first question might be for Denise, and then

604
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 2: we'll go to Kayla and so on and so forth.

605
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: Three questions. We have three sentence completions, and then we

606
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: have three photos pulled up a view that we found

607
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: on social media, so like, oh my gosh, y'all have

608
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: got to tune into the video and see their faces

609
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 2: right now. Okay, oh my gosh, Denise's I'm like, So

610
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna have you choose. Oh, you all will have

611
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 2: to use your like your parent brains. You're parenting for

612
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 2: this business, copehenting for this business, and come up with

613
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 2: a number out of one in three, and then we'll

614
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 2: reveil that photo on screen. And what we want you

615
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: to do is give us additional context about the photo

616
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: that we wouldn't know just by looking at it. So

617
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 2: we'll revisit these instructions in just a bit, but first

618
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: we'll start off with the first question.

619
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 5: Honestly, whoever feels compelled to come off from you and answer,

620
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 5: feel free to do. And if you really want to

621
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 5: both answer, we're cool with that too.

622
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 2: The first question is what's the best piece of wisdom

623
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: or advice you've ever received?

624
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 5: I didn't.

625
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 7: I received it from the universe or from a situation.

626
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 7: I actually had a friend passed away in spring of

627
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 7: or from meningitis, and right when maybe a month before

628
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 7: she passed away, she had wrote We were in college,

629
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 7: so she had wrote and painted the saying on her wall,

630
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 7: and when we went to go to her funeral, things

631
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 7: of that sort.

632
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 5: It just has always stuck out with me.

633
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 7: But it was dream as if you'll live forever, live

634
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 7: as if feel gue tomorrow, as Kaylin and I said,

635
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 7: we started the business with big, ambitious dreams, but you

636
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 7: also have to be realistic of what's actually accomplishable today

637
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 7: in short periods of time. And so that's something that

638
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 7: I've always just like, it's been with me for twenty

639
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,959
Speaker 7: years and it's something that I consistently always think about,

640
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 7: like how do I dream big?

641
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 5: But then how do I also like get.

642
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 7: The most out of today so that I'm not just

643
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 7: like tomorrow tomorrow.

644
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 5: I'll do this right.

645
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 7: One day, I'd like to say that tomorrow never comes

646
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 7: because it technically when it flips to tomorrow, it's today

647
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 7: and it actually never see tomorrow.

648
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's my earn.

649
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 6: Well, OK, that was so powerful, so deep, so profound

650
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 6: that I'm like, how do I shift to this next question?

651
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 5: Because the question that was super classy?

652
00:34:52,080 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 9: Okay, this next question na so classy? All right, So

667
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: So we're gonna go to the next question over here. Okay,

Speaker 2: She's like, if you're right, I do and do and do.

669
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,040

00:35:53,920 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 2: Is what's the sexiest item you own? C of the

671
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:01,680

Speaker 5: What is this saying?

673
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: I feel like Denis is gonna turn Righ're good. That's

674
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 2: been question because it asks you what do sexy mean?

675
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: And so for me, sexy is confidence. I think sexy.

676
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: For me, the sexiest thing I own is probably one

677
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: of my nightgown situations, the super flowy and.

678
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 5: The matching set because it.

679
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 2: Puts the girls up and I feel beautiful in it.

680
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: And so because I feel beautiful, I'm sexy.

681
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 5: That's what it has. That's all you got to do.

682
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 5: That is the equation. I'm confident, beautiful, equal sexy.

683
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 12: Yes, okay, okay, sexy, we see it.

684
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, So now we will to our sentence completion.

685
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 6: One question or topic I wish people asked me about more.

686
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 5: Often in I just thought about this yesterday, so this

687
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 5: is easy for me.

688
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 2: There in Dallas there was a Boss Women event, So

689
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 2: I wish people would ask more questions about the practicality

690
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 2: of accounting in business. I know this is a super business

691
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 2: the answer, but it has changed the trajectory of our

692
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 2: business and to have a structure around the finances of

693
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 2: the business right an accountant, a CPA, a bookkeeper and

694
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 2: how all of that works.

695
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 5: It's what I wish I would have known.

696
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: And again it changed literally the trajectory of our business

697
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 2: to grow two hundred something percent in a year, like

698
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 2: just knowing what the numbers were, just having the opportunities

699
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 2: to leverage what we knew. Yeah, for me, that's what

700
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: I wish people would ask more questions about. That's amazing, Denise,

701
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 2: you have something you want to share too. I actually,

702
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 2: you know what, I have a whole list of things.

703
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: So I was going through this.

704
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 5: I don't know what I.

705
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 7: Was doing, but I actually asked other people in my

706
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 7: life like what they would come to me for and

707
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 7: ask and so I have a whole list of things.

708
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 7: But a lot of what came up was really about

709
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 7: maintaining connections and relationships with like family and friend like

710
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 7: together at the same time and cross generationally. People are like,

711
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 7: you're a real good person who just like stays in

712
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 7: touch with like different people and understands and really actually

713
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 7: gets to.

714
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 5: Know like the core of people a little bit.

715
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 7: So that's what kind of was a common theme when

716
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 7: I actually asked other people what they would.

717
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 5: If I was like, if I'm giving free advice, what

718
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 5: would come and ask me about?

719
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 7: A lot of it was structured around like moving away

720
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 7: from family, but maintaining relationships, connections and things.

721
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 5: Of that sort. Okay, those are really great answers.

722
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 2: So basically what it's sounds is we need to have

723
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 2: another conversation where you talked to us about cultivating connections, Denise,

724
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 2: and then Kaylyn, you talk about the practicality of accounting

725
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 2: in business. Okay, we made a note of that, so

726
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 2: noted the next sent its completion for YouTube. Is the

727
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 2: most embarrassing thing I've ever done to get my crushous

728
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 2: attention is what look at Kayla, kay look out the story.

729
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 5: I can already see it.

730
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 4: I don't know I'm gonna share it with y'all, but

731
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 4: I got a story I see, Lord have mercy.

732
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of which story.

733
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 6: And y'all went to college together, so y'all might have storyage.

734
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 5: Oh my god, you're not going okay because that was

735
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 5: a mad West day.

736
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 7: I got a bad memory, so you benefits Heaven approp

737
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 7: with the bad memory.

738
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 6: It is one of those moments I am Paul, the

739
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 6: most embarrassing being the age intention.

740
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 5: I don't know if there's so.

741
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 2: Many little things I think we do and so probably

742
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 2: just like showing up places.

743
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 5: It's giving soccer. But I promise you, it's.

744
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 2: Just like hashfully knowing that this person's requence asserting coffee

745
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 2: shop or making sure you show up cue. I'm just

746
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: saying it's is he gonna be at the party? Okay,

747
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 2: I'm going then it's just showing up for yourself in

748
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 2: the situation that you want to try to be in.

749
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 2: It's all no judgeable there, We've all been there.

750
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 5: It's okay, we've all been there, all right, our final

751
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 5: sentence completion.

752
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:33,879
Speaker 6: What I love most about myself is What I love

753
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 6: most about myself is I don't even know I'm in this.

754
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 5: I don't even know.

755
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 7: I don't even know how to answer this question because

756
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 7: of the phase of life that I'm in right now.

757
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 7: But what I love the most about myself, I guess

758
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 7: I'm like selfish and selfless.

759
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 5: I'll let the same job, if that makes sense.

760
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 7: Like I very much am a clear around what I

761
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 7: like stand for and what I will and won't do.

762
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 7: But I'm also very felt selfless when it comes to

763
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 7: the people who are in my very inner circle.

764
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 5: So I like the idea of and I've been that

765
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 5: way for a while.

766
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 7: I in my twenties was like, extremely I'm gonna be selfish,

767
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 7: I'm gonna do whatever I want to do. And now

768
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 7: as I'm like entering my third or not answering my

769
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 7: thirties through my thirties and answering my forties, I put

770
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 7: all my tent in the streams. But as I'm doing that,

771
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 7: I'm definitely becoming a little bit more of the selfless

772
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 7: because I'm now raising a cent and things of that sort.

773
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 5: But I always know that I still have to.

774
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 7: Maintain some selfishness in there so that I maintain my sanity. Yeah,

775
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 7: I think it's I really appreciate my balance between my

776
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 7: being selfish and being selfless.

777
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: Beautifully answer that makes perfect sense to nis, And then Kayla,

778
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 2: what of my cheery answer?

779
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 5: I'm kind of going between two.

780
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 2: But I think I'm gonna go with the audacity that

781
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 2: I have.

782
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 5: Right.

783
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,720
Speaker 2: I have started several businesses, some of them failed.

784
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 5: What is failure? Right, Like, it's just I have the

785
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 5: audacity to start something. I am very driven.

786
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 2: I will take the lessons learned, apply them to the

787
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 2: next thing, and keep it moving like it just it

788
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 2: doesn't phase me to see I've started something and it

789
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: hasn't come to fruition because we really can use everything, right.

790
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 2: Scripture tells us that everything nothing is wasted, and so

791
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 2: I just love seeing God's hand on my life and

792
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 2: being able to see him use everything. I've been like,

793
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: gon do this, and I thought I will. Being the

794
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 2: ambition ambitious one. But really it's just my receptiveness of

795
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 2: seeing where he's taking me and being open to that,

796
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 2: and the audacity of doing that, the audacity of believing

797
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 2: will be billionaires because of this business, the audacity to

798
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 2: buy a house as a.

799
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,439
Speaker 5: Single woman and then buy another as a single woman.

800
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 2: I'm just like out here doing whatever, hoping it works out,

801
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: and if it doesn't, I'll be all right too.

802
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 5: So it's just I think I'd like that about myself,

803
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 5: for sure. Beautiful answers you are are so I'm facing.

Speaker 2: we have these photos put up, So use your magic.

807
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 2: What is it to let the people? How do you

808
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 2: say it, y'all?

809
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 5: How do you say? Do I say it right?

810
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 11: Though?

811
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 5: You know I'm sorry? Okay, there we go use that

812
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 5: to figure out the number. Choose the number out of one.

813
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 2: In three, and then we'll pull up this photo on

814
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 2: the big screen. I'm gonna say number three. Okay, let's say, oh,

815
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 2: this is a beautiful picture. Okay, So I'm going to

816
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 2: share the picture on the big screen. Some people will

817
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 2: only be tuning into the audio. So can you describe

818
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 2: the picture?

819
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 11: First?

820
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 2: And then each of you give us some context about

821
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 2: the photo that we wouldn't know just by looking at it.

822
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 2: So we're going to take a walk, a trip back

823
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 2: through memory lane, and we're gonna share this photo on

824
00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 2: the big screen. Look at y'all for the thing that

825
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 2: you would not know. It's blaring at me right now.

826
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: I know Denise probably already knows it, so I can

827
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 2: describe this. This is a picture of Denise and I

828
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,479
Speaker 2: being fabulous at fair Park.

829
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 5: Our friend JC I Creatives.

830
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,439
Speaker 2: He's actually getting married this weekend. Jaron Collins, he took

831
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 2: this photo. He's an amazing photographer. And Denise was in town.

832
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 2: She was in town for.

833
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 5: I don't even remember.

834
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 2: I think it was just a trip to work on

835
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 2: the business another And so Denise is wearing this leather jacket.

836
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 2: We have this quick color coordination going on. I have

837
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 2: my Ivy park A blazer on and.

838
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 5: I have these satin pants on.

839
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 2: And they can like, you know, cute from here, and

840
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: it's given thick, it's given shapely. However, I am five

841
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 2: eleven and these pants came to my ankle and I

842
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 2: was like, any picture that was taken that day, if

843
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 2: it shows where my pants end and hits if giving

844
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:13,959
Speaker 2: high water.

845
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 5: I don't like it. I've had to accept that.

846
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: Our team, our digital marketing team shout out to digital

847
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 2: marketing Maven and it's Sammy Bivins, but believes don't use

848
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 2: those pictures no more, y'all because yeah, so that's one

849
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 2: thing you would never know because it.

850
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 5: Cuts off at my knees. You can't see it. So

851
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 5: this one's cute. I'm okay with this one.

852
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 2: That is so good. Oh my goodness, this is a

853
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 2: beautiful picture. But like you said, we would have never

854
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 2: known that, but so beautiful. Loved the color scheme there, y'all,

855
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 2: just look us out cute o good So, ladies, we

856
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 2: appreciate you for tuning or playing along with us in

857
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 2: the old you blatchet segment. We just have a couple

858
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 2: more questions to ask you, and so we'll jump right

859
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 2: back into the conversation. And can you talk to us

860
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 2: a bit about why you think it's difficult for today's

861
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 2: mom a woman to prioritize self care.

862
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 7: I think it's a lot of competing priorities and if

863
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 7: you've not started to embrace bounties and things of that sort,

864
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 7: the ability to say yes and no very clearly or

865
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 7: prioritizing your own need before making decisions. There's still just

866
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 7: a lot of priorities, right, we've transitioned maybe from different

867
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 7: work environments, there's just a lot of different things that

868
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 7: buying for our time and energy. And so I think

869
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 7: that it exects because it is almost like a chicken

870
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 7: and egg type of situation, right, Like, you get better

871
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 7: at practicing self care the more that you do it,

872
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 7: because you start to gain some of these healthy habits

873
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 7: versus the habits that we've all been conditioned to from

874
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 7: just different lifting experience that we have experienced throughout our life.

875
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 7: So I really think for me and I see just

876
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 7: the individual who's not quite embraced self care is not

877
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 7: necessarily to practicing self care a lot of times it

878
00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 7: is competing priorities and doing a lot for others in life,

879
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,959
Speaker 7: letting other people control how your time and energy are spent.

880
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 5: Real quick, I will say.

881
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 2: That black women have never been upheld in a way

882
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 2: where we can see ourselves as worthy of self care.

883
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: And it's systemic if we really won't be real right,

884
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 2: it is systemic because we don't see ourselves as the

885
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 2: fragile ones, the ones that need care, the ones that

886
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: actually are, like Denise said, have America on our shoulders,

887
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 2: Like we don't see that. It's not affirmed, it's not

888
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 2: talked about, even though it's true. And so you can't

889
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 2: really put yourself first if you don't think you're worthy

890
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 2: of putting yourself first. It's an entire mindset type of thing,

891
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 2: which is again what we work on and why automating

892
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 2: your self care is so important because when you get

893
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: this kit at your door, you're reminded, like the world

894
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: has told me that I am not, but here's a

895
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 2: kid to tell me, no, I am. And there's a

896
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 2: community for me that truly helps me feel worthy. And

897
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 2: so I think, especially in a time right now where

898
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 2: we're like literally under attack. I don't know if y'all

899
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 2: have heard the Fearless fun and Airy and Simone and

900
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 2: what they're doing to try to dismantle grants for black

901
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 2: women after the Supreme Court decision, right like, we're literally

902
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 2: under attack as black.

903
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 5: Women every day in more and more ways.

904
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 2: And so I think for us, it really takes us

905
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 2: to save ourselves to truly come into community with each other,

906
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 2: hold hands, knowing that we have to do this together.

907
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 2: So that we can affirm each other and believe each

908
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 2: other when we say you're worthy. You can put yourself first.

909
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 2: You can make sacrifices for yourself, right, like these sacrifices

910
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 2: for everybody else. Cool, But let's make sure you good first,

911
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 2: so you can take care of everything else that you

912
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: really want to.

913
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 5: And oh, yes, I think it's systemic.

914
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 2: I think there's no way for us to do that

915
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 2: unless we do it in our own community. Right, They

916
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 2: not going to help us, y'all. We got to do

917
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 2: it ourselves. But yeah, they still not gonna help us.

918
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 5: What are ways?

919
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 6: Because I know that we have some ladies out there

920
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 6: who are listening and they're like, oh my gosh, I

921
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 6: want to be.

922
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 12: A part of this community, Like I want to prioritize

923
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 12: myself care and I want to be in the space

924
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 12: with other black women who are prioritized and taking care

925
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 12: of themselves.

926
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 6: But I'm stressed since and I don't have the extra

927
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:46,720
Speaker 6: money to pay for this subscription box even though it's quarterly,

928
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 6: I don't can be extra fonds. How can someone who's

929
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 6: in that position still be a.

930
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 5: Part of the community. No, that's a great question.

931
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 2: We're very passionate about things like that, right, because we

932
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 2: know we weren't always at the point where we can

933
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 2: afford a luxury self care box.

934
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 5: What does that even mean?

935
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 2: And so for those that aren't able to do that

936
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 2: or feel they aren't able to do that, I would

937
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 2: say it's.

938
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 5: The little things in each day.

939
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 12: Right.

940
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 2: You can be a part of our community just by

941
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 2: tuning in right, adding yourself to our list, and those

942
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 2: are the big things.

943
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 5: We have an entire blog.

944
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 2: We have at least one to two articles that talk

945
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 2: about how to prioritize your self care go live from

946
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 2: our fabulous writer on our team, Chrissy McSwain. And so

947
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 2: the blog, the newsletter that comes out every Monday called

948
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 2: a Weekly Dose of Betterness that's free free ninety nine.

949
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: Like I mentioned the Spotify playlist to get your mind

950
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,439
Speaker 2: right before that meeting, to get your mind right as

951
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 2: you try to wind down for the day. And then

952
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 2: just look around, right, what is around you where you

953
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 2: can be, where your feet are, be present in the

954
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 2: life that God has given you. And that could be

955
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 2: a little piece of cookie one day, right, I'm just

956
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 2: going to indulge in this chocolate chip cookie with lawnuts,

957
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 2: whatever it is for you, okay, listen as long as

958
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 2: it's warm.

959
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 5: Those are my favorite tip treats.

960
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 2: Shout out if it's a candle, and Denis said, you

961
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 2: snuggle up with your candle in your book and continue

962
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 2: to stay tuned into the betterness Box community until you

963
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 2: feel like you can prioritize that right, because when you

964
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 2: think about what we already prioritize, there's ways to shift that.

965
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: And as your mind changes from no, I need this

966
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 2: and I'm worthy of this, you'll make different sacrifices so

967
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 2: that you can get to the point where you're getting

968
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 2: this automated self care experience. And so I think those

969
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 2: are some ways that I would say you absolutely can

970
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 2: be a part of our community. Everybody's welcome. Come on now, ladies,
