Speaker 1: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. You are tuned into
Speaker 1: the Vitamin D with dwn Day Podcasts and I am
Speaker 1: your host, Dawn Day, here to get you excited about
Speaker 1: your life so that you can live life on purpose
Speaker 1: and for a purpose. And this is your first time
Speaker 1: tuning in and welcome Vitamin D. It's upun of our name.
Speaker 1: My name is Dawn and you get Vitamin D from
Speaker 1: the sun. So I'm here to share light into your life.
Speaker 1: And I do this with inspirational insights and conversations with
Speaker 1: celebrities and everyday people like you and me, Because if
Speaker 1: you want to be better and you want to do better,
Speaker 1: then you're going to have to be able to see better.
Speaker 1: So join me on this journey of living our best
Speaker 1: lives and understanding and realizing how you are your greatest asset.
Speaker 1: Can I ask you something, Why is it that we
Speaker 1: understand the value of an original something that's where, but
Speaker 1: can't understand the value within ourselves myself with that, like,
Speaker 1: there's value of just being you, doing you exactly how
Speaker 1: you are. Yeah, we go throughout life caring and valuing
Speaker 1: the opinions of others. In fact, so much so we're
Speaker 1: willing to change out of a parents, change what we
Speaker 1: say we value. We even put on masks to fit
Speaker 1: into a room, rather than just showing up as and
Speaker 1: who we are. Perhaps we feel as though we have
Speaker 1: some securities right because we aren't perfect, perhaps coming from
Speaker 1: a broken home, not having the financial money, perhaps dealing
Speaker 1: with a mental illness, not coming in this cookie cutter box.
Speaker 1: We have this tendency to hide. But I want to
Speaker 1: challenge you to step forward. You know what they say,
Speaker 1: what allows a diamond to shine are the multitudes of
Speaker 1: cuts that have been placed within it. Are you ready
Speaker 1: to shine? Now? We also know that I sure makes diamonds.
Speaker 1: So that's all the trials and trubulations that you've experienced
Speaker 1: in your life. I've led you right here, and I
Speaker 1: challenge you to show up as you. I think of
Speaker 1: my life and how I have made it a point
Speaker 1: to make room for Dawn to be this aggressive, this loud, frombunctious,
Speaker 1: this human, this person to show up as me because
Speaker 1: I realize I'm more valuable being me than anyone else.
Speaker 1: And I hope you do too. Get your right in
Speaker 1: may right with me. I get excited about your magical
Speaker 1: things are happening. Yeah, I feel it, and also because
Speaker 1: I'm claiming it, but honestly, to think about the magical
Speaker 1: things happen every day. I think that's why they say
Speaker 1: gratitude is everything, because in practicing gratitude, you understand why
Speaker 1: you're grateful for everything along the way. And that's gonna
Speaker 1: cause you to pause, to take a minute, to sit,
Speaker 1: to see two here, to feel, to breathe, to breathe,
Speaker 1: to breathe. It sounds so simple, but we'd rather make
Speaker 1: it hard. But it's happening. I'm manifesting. I'm manifesting because
Speaker 1: I'm seeing the things that I once said come to fruition.
Speaker 1: Do you know how amazing that is? And then it
Speaker 1: also reminds me how powerful we are. For the longest
Speaker 1: I kept saying, I said, I gotta make growne for Dawn,
Speaker 1: make room for Dawn to show up. And I caught myself.
Speaker 1: I was out to Don the other day out in
Speaker 1: uh Sherman Oaks at Dr Dre's restaurant. I'm always gonna
Speaker 1: mispronounce this Tasho Dasho t a I s h o
Speaker 1: and we were just talking and were just catching up
Speaker 1: and talking about what we are in life and my
Speaker 1: birtha had recently passed. I don't know when you're gonna
Speaker 1: hear this, but you know it's April nineteen. And they
Speaker 1: were like, well, what did you do? I was like,
Speaker 1: you know him, Captain road Chill Loki celebrated me. And
Speaker 1: then somehow I inserted in there about how important it
Speaker 1: is for me to make room for myself, how I'm
Speaker 1: calling forth abundance exceedingly and beyond, far more than what
Speaker 1: I could ever imagine for sure, And they were like, oh,
Speaker 1: what do you mean about this whole making room? I said, well,
Speaker 1: I know myself, I've always been titled as strong. That's
Speaker 1: always been an adjective to describe me, whether that was
Speaker 1: a physical thing, whether that was the emotional thing, whether
Speaker 1: that's a personality. The way I talk, everything is strong, strong, strong, strong, strong,
Speaker 1: And you know, sometimes I can make you feel kind
Speaker 1: of well. How it made me feel was uneasy. It
Speaker 1: made me feel as if that wasn't good, as if
Speaker 1: it's something to be shameful for, maybe perhaps something I
Speaker 1: needed to change. And I said, you know what, I'm
Speaker 1: walking forth because you know I'm working out. Don't act
Speaker 1: like you don't say it, don't don't listen. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying shot out to LITTI, but oh, I'm training
Speaker 1: dot CEO, tell him down. They sent you. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: lifting these weights and not toning, and I'm shutting. And
Speaker 1: I'm realizing how strong I really am. I'm noticing how
Speaker 1: strong my personality is, whether it comes out with emotion,
Speaker 1: and I'm making room for that to be strong, how
Speaker 1: my delivery and how I speak. I realized that often
Speaker 1: times or sometimes it can be strong, but the times
Speaker 1: I would have tried to change it. For example, when
Speaker 1: I first moved out to l A an old friend,
Speaker 1: a roommate of mine, we were talking and we were
Speaker 1: talking about speakers, and she made a comment saying that
Speaker 1: most successful piece speakers are men, because men compend the
Speaker 1: attension of a room. They have a powerful voice. That's
Speaker 1: what people want to hear, don't Your voice is so powerful,
Speaker 1: it's like a man. But you know, no one wants
Speaker 1: to hear a woman. And what I've received on that,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, I need to change
Speaker 1: like one. This is a manly thing. You know. I'm
Speaker 1: not soft enough to be a speaker too. Perhaps it's
Speaker 1: not even a possibility for me, but damn three I'll
Speaker 1: realized I gotta be just me and it could have
Speaker 1: quickly just changed my viewpoint of not wanting to do that.
Speaker 1: And I know this is my gear. And that's what
Speaker 1: I mean when I say I'm making room for Dawn
Speaker 1: to show up. And I guess it's the top of
Speaker 1: mind because I'm still on my high for my recently
Speaker 1: did um I want to say like an open my
Speaker 1: poetry session with people's anti people's and Kenneth Nelson is
Speaker 1: called Love Jones. It was over here at the Soho
Speaker 1: Warehouse in l A and I did my piece, I
Speaker 1: recited some others, and so many people came up to
Speaker 1: me like, Wow, You're amazing, Wow you did that while
Speaker 1: you're delivery. I loved your peace. I felt the emotion.
Speaker 1: How can I keep up with you? I just want
Speaker 1: to follow you. I just want to be around you.
Speaker 1: How could you imagine had I been a Dawn that
Speaker 1: would receive that other roommate and said that speaking is
Speaker 1: for a man. No one really wants to hear a
Speaker 1: woman speak. I could have missed out on my joy.
Speaker 1: But that's when I say magical things are happening. It's
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing when things can be unveiled. It's a
Speaker 1: beautiful thing when you can see beyond your eyes. That's
Speaker 1: why they call it vision right, and when you take
Speaker 1: a minute to just breathe in it, to really embrace
Speaker 1: it authentically, and holy it feels good. It even feels
Speaker 1: good on my vision board. One of the things I
Speaker 1: put up on that I said style. I was like,
Speaker 1: I just want to walk out fly every damn day
Speaker 1: just to be fly. You know, I walk out every
Speaker 1: day just to be fly, and not to sign racketocious,
Speaker 1: but just to keep it real because I think you
Speaker 1: just gotta love on you just this way and whatever
Speaker 1: makes you feel good, because it's beyond just what you see.
Speaker 1: People stop me and be like can I take a
Speaker 1: picture with you? I'm dead ass. The reason why that's
Speaker 1: a big moment for me because remember I told you,
Speaker 1: this is the same Dawn that did not go to
Speaker 1: events because she could not find something to wear. Do
Speaker 1: you see how I did a one eighty on that?
Speaker 1: Do you see what I mean when I said how
Speaker 1: I'm manifesting this life, this lifestyle, all the state of
Speaker 1: being magical things are happening. You have to speak it
Speaker 1: over yourself. You gotta believe it. So much that you
Speaker 1: talk and you walk in confidence of it. Case some
Speaker 1: point here recently, I was over at the Queensberry. That's
Speaker 1: a little club downtown listen to Ali. It's usually after
Speaker 1: we leave Soho Warehouse, we go over Queensberry. And this
Speaker 1: guy there who was just vibein and you know a
Speaker 1: lot of people are saying, wow, you're energy, your vibe,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna really feel you. You You radiate. And so
Speaker 1: we were on our moment and he had to stop
Speaker 1: and he had a few words and he had to
Speaker 1: speak some things over me. And then as he kept
Speaker 1: he was telling me about he said, God told me
Speaker 1: to come over to tell you I have a message
Speaker 1: for you that abundance is coming in. I'm here to
Speaker 1: help you. But the thing that was so amazing for
Speaker 1: me as he was telling me the things that were
Speaker 1: happening in his life and that we're going to happen.
Speaker 1: I didn't know this man from a can of paint,
Speaker 1: but the conviction that he spoke over his life got
Speaker 1: me so excited. Each and every one of us should
Speaker 1: wake up that excited about our lives, so much that
Speaker 1: we enroll other people to get that excited. Because I said, wow,
Speaker 1: you can be so bold and so bodacious to claim
Speaker 1: these things over your life. Why can it not happen?
Speaker 1: That's confidence, right, That's another thing where I'm saying, like, wow, Dawn,
Speaker 1: you're ranking room for yourself. Because remember this was the
Speaker 1: same dawn that one didn't have anything to wear, what
Speaker 1: wasn't going out. I would have never met this gentleman
Speaker 1: manifesting my fitness, getting from behind the scenes, being authentically me,
Speaker 1: and that seeing me. It's having grace with myself. Magical
Speaker 1: things are happening. I'm grateful that I'm slowing down to
Speaker 1: see it, and I want that same thing for you.
Speaker 1: You know, you're living a day that you once prayed for.
Speaker 1: You realize that. And the reason why I was saying before,
Speaker 1: my gratitude is so important because life be life, and depression, grief, resentment,
Speaker 1: those kind of things try to keep you still in
Speaker 1: a moment that feels like life just stopped. But then
Speaker 1: life keeps life. But when we find that moment just
Speaker 1: to operate and just that little bit of gratitude, it
Speaker 1: gives us that how to keep on going. Were you like, man,
Speaker 1: it ain't that bad time? This is Vanessa Bell callaway peace.
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, this is trade change and you are
Speaker 1: listening to down Day. I was at the gym today.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm working out with the thief, but I
Speaker 1: work out in West Hollywood and one of the owners,
Speaker 1: I guess founders. He's one of the staples, the pillars
Speaker 1: of the gym. Because we started out in a parking
Speaker 1: lot and then we got to a facility. I looked
Speaker 1: at him and I waved. He said, don't you're always
Speaker 1: so happy? And I said, I woke up today. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of things that I'm sure I could say
Speaker 1: I want to change that. I want more of that,
Speaker 1: I want to do more of, see more of. But
Speaker 1: as my friend Shelly reminded me today, she said, Dahn,
Speaker 1: do you know how much you've grown just simply from January.
Speaker 1: Ry gratitude is everything. I see the alignment coming with
Speaker 1: the numbers. I feel good. And you know what else,
Speaker 1: I'm loving too. And I'm saying these magical things because
Speaker 1: I'm making room for Dawn. There's nothing more beautiful than
Speaker 1: having control over yourself because we understand how powerful we
Speaker 1: are and we can master ourselves. I mean, what the hell,
Speaker 1: what can you not do? What can you not have?
Speaker 1: What peace can you not feel? Yo? And I guess
Speaker 1: I'm giving myself a taste of that by staying discipline
Speaker 1: on my regiment or working out. I'm giving that to
Speaker 1: myself because that's something that I haven't always been consistent of.
Speaker 1: And I'm proud of myself because I'm keep going because
Speaker 1: what they say, you can't fail if you don't quit.
Speaker 1: And every time that I do, because listen and this
Speaker 1: thing called life, and I say, it's like, were these
Speaker 1: energy forces and it's just frequencies. There's ups and there's
Speaker 1: those downs. I experienced them too. But when I want
Speaker 1: to stop, when I want to give up, I have
Speaker 1: to ask myself something. I say, doing do you want
Speaker 1: to be great? Because if you want to be great,
Speaker 1: you gotta do things that great people do, and great
Speaker 1: people do things that every day people don't do. Do
Speaker 1: you want to be great? I want to be great.
Speaker 1: I want you to be great? Why just be good?
Speaker 1: When you can be great? Why not live a life
Speaker 1: of abundance? Why not living overflow? Why not living joy?
Speaker 1: Even back at the Love Jones event, this whole girl
Speaker 1: came up to me, young lady. I think her name
Speaker 1: is Jade. I'm looking on my Instagram right now to
Speaker 1: see with the recent followers. But she came up and
Speaker 1: she was just like, yo, he did such an amazing job.
Speaker 1: Now she didn't say yo, that's just me saying y'all um.
Speaker 1: Her name is Jay Jay Adam, Jordan Jordan's. Yes, Hey
Speaker 1: Jordan's heck shout out to Jordan's. She came up to
Speaker 1: me and she was saying, wow, you did such a
Speaker 1: great job. And her friend next to her and said,
Speaker 1: you know, she should have got up there too. I said,
Speaker 1: what do you mean by that? She said, oh, my gosh,
Speaker 1: she has a beautiful voice. I looked at her. I said,
Speaker 1: you can say. Yeah, I walk into a little something.
Speaker 1: I said, wait a minute, I said, hold on, can
Speaker 1: you sing or can you not sing? I noticed her
Speaker 1: eyes started lighting up like they're starting flickering and things
Speaker 1: like that, And I'm like, wait, what is happening right now?
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, you know what, I've seen a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, I'd like to say I'm a shower singer.
Speaker 1: I said, so if you could make a little all right, listen,
Speaker 1: if I could like maybe make a track or album
Speaker 1: one day, you know, I'll go ahead and do that.
Speaker 1: I said, wait a minute, I say, you can sing,
Speaker 1: and your life can give you exceedingly and beyond of
Speaker 1: joy of happiness. You can live a livelihood of singing
Speaker 1: what you're doing. She shook her head and she said yes.
Speaker 1: I said, Now, when you say you might can sing
Speaker 1: a little bit, I said, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 1: I said, you gotta speak life over yourself. I was like,
Speaker 1: you're talking about living a life of joy, of peace,
Speaker 1: of abundance with a gift, something that was uniquely cure
Speaker 1: rated for you. It makes me think how many of
Speaker 1: us have gifts that we're just sitting on because we're afraid,
Speaker 1: because we think there's not enough time, because simply we
Speaker 1: don't think we can do it. But when it came
Speaker 1: to you, people wouldn't be affirming you of this if
Speaker 1: something didn't exist. Oh my god, can you imagine? I
Speaker 1: had to ask her again. I said, what's coming on? What?
Speaker 1: I was like, you all smile one and cheeseus and stuff.
Speaker 1: She's like, well, you know, you got me excited and
Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. I said, well, you need
Speaker 1: to get out there and do it, because that's how
Speaker 1: you should be living and feeling about your life every day.
Speaker 1: You mean, it's just like, well, can I follow you
Speaker 1: on social media? Can I just follow you somewhere shout
Speaker 1: out to your Jordan, thank you for having me up.
Speaker 1: And you know, also have to go around. I have
Speaker 1: to go around after people were telling me how great
Speaker 1: of a job I did, how amazing I was. I
Speaker 1: made sure and I say it, thank you. That's why
Speaker 1: I say gratitude is everything. I said thank you against
Speaker 1: I said, you didn't have to come up to me
Speaker 1: to tell me this, but you felt so much and
Speaker 1: confidence and you sold much assurance about it that you said,
Speaker 1: let me walk over there and tell me. I want
Speaker 1: to let you know that means a lot to me.
Speaker 1: I told you this is my dream. Any way that
Speaker 1: I can exercise my dream by using my voice, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do it. On top of the fact, you know
Speaker 1: I love affirmations. You see how my gift is given
Speaker 1: to me. I go out there and speak perhaps a poem,
Speaker 1: maybe something inspirational, speaking life to Jordan's about how she
Speaker 1: can take off and say. Then folks give back to
Speaker 1: me and say, wow, Dawn, thank you that was great.
Speaker 1: While you really have a gift, this is something in
Speaker 1: your lane. But remember I had to make room for
Speaker 1: Dawn to be bold, to be strong, to be audacious,
Speaker 1: to see her weakness where she is and stopping the light.
Speaker 1: I'm making room for Dawn. It's all working out, feeling
Speaker 1: like I'm taking my last breath with every step with
Speaker 1: the teeth. That's making room for the rooms that I'm
Speaker 1: stepping in. You catch what I'm saying. Me working out
Speaker 1: with Latieth, being disciplined with myself, walking my five miles
Speaker 1: every day, working out twice a day, five or six
Speaker 1: times a week, that's making room for Dawn. That's who
Speaker 1: you see right here. Somebody even said they're like, all
Speaker 1: that time you spend walking, you know you could probably
Speaker 1: burn X amount of calories in twenty minutes. I ain't
Speaker 1: gotta rush because on my walk, I can think, I breathing,
Speaker 1: I'm being present, I'm listening to my music. I'm in
Speaker 1: a state of gratitude. Remember, gratitude is everything. That's what's
Speaker 1: been going on with me. All right. If you like
