Speaker 1: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. You are tuned into
Speaker 1: the Vitamin D with Dawn Day podcast 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 upon all my name.
Speaker 1: My name is Dawn, and you get Vitamin D for
Speaker 1: the sun. So I'm here to shed 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
Speaker 1: stats at oh Man, I can learn this STU here today.
Speaker 1: And it just got real heavy heavy because, Um, I
Speaker 1: learned of another person whose husband suddenly died. And when
Speaker 1: I say suddenly, I'm saying, um, I learned of sudden.
Speaker 1: One was a high school friend. Uh found her husband unconscious. Another, Uh,
Speaker 1: somebody just in the entertainment realm. I'm not sure what happened.
Speaker 1: But learning that there has been any young gage and died,
Speaker 1: and it just makes me think, like, you gotta live
Speaker 1: your life on purpose and for a purpose. And I
Speaker 1: know I say that all the time, but it's just
Speaker 1: like when you realize how short time is, when you
Speaker 1: realize how each day, in every hour, and every minute
Speaker 1: and every second of a day is a blessing. Who
Speaker 1: are you not to live full out? They say live
Speaker 1: full and die empty? Right, So I was heavy, and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking like, I'm about to come in like with that,
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, and I think about it, it's
Speaker 1: like one to come in with inspiration and motivation and
Speaker 1: and be uplifting. It doesn't mean that bad things don't happen,
Speaker 1: but I think it's also recognizing those things and and
Speaker 1: and seeing how those things emerge with the good things.
Speaker 1: Because they say it's rain and every rainbow. You may
Speaker 1: have heard me said before I asked I have to
Speaker 1: grow and it started raining. You know, there is a
Speaker 1: night in a day. I like there to think there's
Speaker 1: a dusk to my dawn. So that was on my
Speaker 1: heart and I guess I'm already heavy anyway. Because my homegirl, Shelly,
Speaker 1: she moving across the country. She moving all the way
Speaker 1: to the d MV area up into Virginia. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: that's hitting me a little something. I'd say it's hit
Speaker 1: me because I really said that as far as being
Speaker 1: in l A. That's one of my closest friends. Like
Speaker 1: that's the homie. Like you know how you got those
Speaker 1: friends that got your back, those friends that that that
Speaker 1: hold you down, that you know that they are for
Speaker 1: you man and uh he recently we had a whole
Speaker 1: celebration celebrating her going away and it was beautiful. It
Speaker 1: was it was it was really it was a really
Speaker 1: it was a great event and it really was a
Speaker 1: testament of you know, was something that's or doing how
Speaker 1: things organically work. And for me during that time, I
Speaker 1: was up there meditating on my own my throat chakra
Speaker 1: and the throat shocker is all about expression and getting
Speaker 1: things out and expressing yourself and knowing that um, what
Speaker 1: you say matters and being intentional about what you say.
Speaker 1: And what I like to think too, when we think
Speaker 1: about the throat, we think just verbal communication, but I
Speaker 1: like to also think that when we think about the
Speaker 1: throat shocker, that is just communication in general, just expression overall,
Speaker 1: and for me, I'm working on that because I'm here
Speaker 1: with you and I want to make sure I show
Speaker 1: up as done in every aspect of what I say,
Speaker 1: what I do, how I address who I would think,
Speaker 1: because we're gonna be here for a long time and
Speaker 1: I want to stablish over pool with you. Get your
Speaker 1: right mndy right with me and get excited about That's
Speaker 1: why I'm so deeply into my meditation and how it
Speaker 1: feels and and what is doing for me, like the
Speaker 1: running and everything. And I say that because we had to.
Speaker 1: We're getting ready to go to UM to Shelly send off.
Speaker 1: And so the first night we went ahead and we
Speaker 1: had karaoke, and I love the look I was given.
Speaker 1: I had given like this, have the jeans on with
Speaker 1: the blue top, with the black hat, and you know
Speaker 1: my blond locks, which are giving me everything I needed
Speaker 1: life even more. And so even talking about the realms
Speaker 1: of expression, I was like, you know, I want to
Speaker 1: switch it up for the all white day, and I
Speaker 1: like to think that I gave like a Zaddie look.
Speaker 1: And you know, it was really great because as I
Speaker 1: think about, and I was telling you before about her
Speaker 1: life is so short and how you have to live
Speaker 1: full and die empty. I was eating up Shelly and
Speaker 1: I was like, girl, I think I'm about to pull
Speaker 1: a different look. I was like, you know, doing something different,
Speaker 1: and she was like, well, do what you wanna do.
Speaker 1: And again that's a testament when you surround yourself with
Speaker 1: the right people, how you can show up as yourself.
Speaker 1: And um, for me, I think is everything is about expression.
Speaker 1: I looked at as a the throat shocker of just
Speaker 1: what the dimension of what how I want to show
Speaker 1: up as? And I guess I gotta challenge you to
Speaker 1: think about how you want to show up. And when
Speaker 1: I say I killed this look, oh my gosh, it
Speaker 1: was like all old men, all white, had to fuldore.
Speaker 1: I had the glasses at the sneakers and I have
Speaker 1: to say this, I've never felt more sexy in my life.
Speaker 1: And it was to the point like men and women
Speaker 1: were getting in. It was crazy. And I think the
Speaker 1: beauty of that. And I want to really get this
Speaker 1: out because we realize how short time is that you
Speaker 1: gotta show up as you. You gotta show up as
Speaker 1: you so that God can do whatever that work is. Now,
Speaker 1: whether that work looks like something that's religious, or spiritual
Speaker 1: or some type of healing, whatever it is, I like
Speaker 1: to call like your song, to make sure your song
Speaker 1: can be authentically heard. And just in my meditation process
Speaker 1: of understanding what God is and who God is, understanding
Speaker 1: that God is the truth and the light in the way,
Speaker 1: and if God exists in each and whenever wanted of us,
Speaker 1: we gotta show up in our truth and in our life.
Speaker 1: And you realize that it is exceedingly and beyond and
Speaker 1: whatever this mindset of what you think it looks like
Speaker 1: and what it's supposed to be, that's not necessarily case.
Speaker 1: And it was so great to show up as Dawn
Speaker 1: or a dimension of Dawn, completely comfortable, completely sexy, and
Speaker 1: completely me. And I guess I really wanted to make
Speaker 1: that point is because I am entering or not. I
Speaker 1: don't know entering, I'm delving in to a dawn that
Speaker 1: not a dawn, but revealing I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know yet, But what I'm saying is that it was
Speaker 1: great to authentically show up as me. It was great
Speaker 1: to have a friend to say supporting that. And when
Speaker 1: you look at how short life is and how many
Speaker 1: people do not show up, how many people can't do things,
Speaker 1: whether they feel like they aren't tall enough or strong enough,
Speaker 1: they don't have the right body type. And it's like,
Speaker 1: all you gotta do is be you. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: what the gift flies. And as I was thinking about
Speaker 1: um or meditating on my throat chakra, and I realized
Speaker 1: the expression of what that is is out how we
Speaker 1: have these gifts inside of us? Right, God places the gifts.
Speaker 1: And the thing that's so interesting about the word is
Speaker 1: saying like you don't have to reveal, you don't have
Speaker 1: to peel up. You are just who you are. So
Speaker 1: when you get into a realm of you can stop
Speaker 1: up who you are. There's clearity, there's peace, there's truth,
Speaker 1: there's life. It gives you the ability to shine. And
Speaker 1: I just need you to be you because people are
Speaker 1: losing their lives. And I even debate. I was like,
Speaker 1: what am I gonna come in here and talk about?
Speaker 1: What am I going to talk about with you today?
Speaker 1: Because I'm like, do you want to just hear about
Speaker 1: my life and things that are going on? Do you
Speaker 1: want to be inspired? Do you want to hear about
Speaker 1: the news? And I sat there and I was looking
Speaker 1: at some posts and it's like people need to be encouraged,
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's encouraged. You're just standing in your truth.
Speaker 1: Standing in whatever is an expression of you. I can't
Speaker 1: strive and I can't stress that enough. It was to
Speaker 1: the point my home girl mind say, I love her
Speaker 1: to death. She's the whole girl like she was. She
Speaker 1: she she's down for the right of a dead podcast.
Speaker 1: She hit me, like, girl, I heard what she was saying,
Speaker 1: so she hit me up. She left these voices though.
Speaker 1: She was like, so, girl, I feel like I want
Speaker 1: to tell you this, but I want you to take
Speaker 1: it the right way. And I'm like, girl, so it's
Speaker 1: like three notes right. She's like, uh, but what is
Speaker 1: this look you're giving? You giving adrogynous or ambiguous? UM.
Speaker 1: I was just wondering, you know, what is this you're given?
Speaker 1: Is this a new things there? I laughed and I
Speaker 1: had to call him back and I'm like, no, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's always with me like I I was actually on
Speaker 1: a height today with a producer friend and we were
Speaker 1: just talking about what it means to show up authentically
Speaker 1: as you show up in your light and looking at
Speaker 1: people who have had the courage to be who they are.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, living their life on the limit.
Speaker 1: In fact, when I came in the studio, I had
Speaker 1: just wrote a quick dose and it was a titled
Speaker 1: the song Crazy with Norags Barkley A K. C. Low
Speaker 1: and he was talking about how he must be crazy
Speaker 1: and how every person that he considered his hero when
Speaker 1: he was young lived their lives out on the limb.
Speaker 1: And when you think about living your life on the limb,
Speaker 1: that's no control, right, You're freely just doing what you
Speaker 1: want to do without anybody trying to sustain you, of
Speaker 1: telling you how to do you. And he was saying
Speaker 1: how that's everything that he's admired, and I'm a I'm
Speaker 1: a person is saying how you do anything, that's how
Speaker 1: you do everything. And I want to make sure I
Speaker 1: show up as me and as Dawn that you may
Speaker 1: get you know, girly doing you may get a drawings Dawn.
Speaker 1: You know that's that's the colors that I think that
Speaker 1: faced with that, And I laughed because for her it
Speaker 1: was a new thing. But I can recall when I
Speaker 1: was younger, I was a tomboy at and what was
Speaker 1: I You know, sometimes I think I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: I wonder if it was a tomboy stage, because as
Speaker 1: I am loving on myself and working out and working
Speaker 1: on putting the right food in my body, I'm seeing
Speaker 1: my body um form in different ways. But being a
Speaker 1: plus I girl, you're not really you know, feeling your
Speaker 1: body like that. Let's just be honest, and it's it
Speaker 1: doesn't feel good to have to go to Elaine Brian
Speaker 1: or actually Stewart or being Lord and Taylor and be
Speaker 1: having the suits for Easter with the big old shoulder
Speaker 1: paths and stuff, having to wear grown people calls and
Speaker 1: therefore even wearing a dress. Not want of your stumpad
Speaker 1: to be out, you know. And so I don't know
Speaker 1: if I found comfort of just wearing jeans, sneakers or
Speaker 1: shirts or whatever. So it was just good to step
Speaker 1: into myself. It was good to um to do that,
Speaker 1: and I just felt fine as hell. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was so ridiculous. I was getting on the elevator. The
Speaker 1: minute I got out the car. This guy was staring
Speaker 1: at me so hard on the elevator. He couldn't even say.
Speaker 1: He was just like wow, that for Dora that He
Speaker 1: was like, I hope you don't mind if I just
Speaker 1: stare at you. It was Mom's like, what's your name?
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Um? Even in the bathroom girls
Speaker 1: are like, oh my gosh, I love you fit, And
Speaker 1: it was like, wow, imagine how pay people love you
Speaker 1: when you show up as you m hm, because people
Speaker 1: are dying. I just told you two people that died,
Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes it seems like a new thing
Speaker 1: to other people, but staying true. And I guess I
Speaker 1: was also and I'm going everywhere because I'm just getting
Speaker 1: it all out. As I was talking about my hike
Speaker 1: with my producer friend and she was just saying how
Speaker 1: I was interesting that a lot of people can have
Speaker 1: apprehension about showing up whose they are, whether we're talking
Speaker 1: about you smoke and whether we're talking about you getting high,
Speaker 1: whether we're talking about you getting drunk, just being who
Speaker 1: you are. And I was saying, how somebody that I
Speaker 1: absolutely admire is like how Cardi B has always shown
Speaker 1: up and because of her ability to show up as
Speaker 1: she is in any other room, she has had her seat,
Speaker 1: the table, she has had it with, the tables have turned,
Speaker 1: she has walked in rooms that any people would have
Speaker 1: struck her out. But the difference is is that she
Speaker 1: never sold you anything different. She never sold you anything
Speaker 1: of a poster of what Cardi B was supposed to
Speaker 1: look like. She showed up as who she is. And
Speaker 1: I think we have the discernment, we have the ability
Speaker 1: to say how much we want to show up or
Speaker 1: what we want to choose to reveal ourselves. But let
Speaker 1: it just be of truth. That's all I say. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying you gotta be but naked, but let's not
Speaker 1: have a filter. If it's something you put out, there
Speaker 1: is something you don't, but just show up in truth,
Speaker 1: because it's amazing what can happen when you decide to
Speaker 1: show up and shine. It's like you give other people
Speaker 1: the permission to shine. I mean, I just want you
Speaker 1: to shine. UM. So I just wanted to say that
Speaker 1: because I was just dope that I gave myself permission
Speaker 1: to do that. And so now I have, um moved
Speaker 1: onto my third eyes chakra and that's just following my intuition.
Speaker 1: And it's interesting because I can start to feel things
Speaker 1: and things are coming my way and I'm excited about that. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm excited about what this dawn is coming into fruition
Speaker 1: and about to evolve under and I want that for you.
Speaker 1: And I know that, um just as a sidebar a
Speaker 1: lot of people going through some things. It's some crazy stuff.
Speaker 1: I think it's about to go down, or it already
Speaker 1: is going down. But I want you to say hold on.
Speaker 1: I want you to look in the mirror and say
Speaker 1: to yourself, hold on. I need you to really tap
Speaker 1: into that faith, because it's just a faith the size
Speaker 1: of a mustancy. It's just a little little and if
Speaker 1: you could just have a little little for whatever you're
Speaker 1: going through, I promise it's going to be okay. You
Speaker 1: just can't stop. And I need you to find a
Speaker 1: way that's gonna find your peace. Find your peace, whether
Speaker 1: that's you meditating, whether that's you journally, whether that's you're
Speaker 1: getting out on the track and you jogging. Clearly to
Speaker 1: things that I'm doing for my piece, what are you
Speaker 1: doing for yours? Get to a point where you not
Speaker 1: only get physically fit, but you can emotionally fit. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm working on because I'm taking it high and
Speaker 1: I'm taking it further, and I want you to have
Speaker 1: the same with me. And I'm so um out there
Speaker 1: with posting everything I'm doing on social media, at doing
Speaker 1: day speaks everywhere because I want you to see this
Speaker 1: process that I'm going through. There was a meme I
Speaker 1: posted up on my ig story and it was of
Speaker 1: at least Neil as a McNeil or at least Neil
Speaker 1: but anyway you've seen her on set it off. She
Speaker 1: was on I'm trying to think of that movie with
Speaker 1: Denzel Washington and um it was a picture with his
Speaker 1: side by side. One picture was her smiling and glowing
Speaker 1: and she was like, what people think healing looks like her.
Speaker 1: That's what the meme was there, and then the other
Speaker 1: was her traditional crying face, and it's what healing really
Speaker 1: looks like, because that's what it is. Right now, I'm
Speaker 1: just wide open, I'm feeling everything, looking at myself, figuring
Speaker 1: out how I'm gonna engage with you on this podcast
Speaker 1: and keep it moving, but also walking and discovering my
Speaker 1: truth and what that looks like or basically uncoverned it
Speaker 1: for myself. And I feel like in life we uncover
Speaker 1: that every step of the way, and I just need
Speaker 1: you to be brave with that. I need you to
Speaker 1: walk in that. I need you to walk in your authenticity.
Speaker 1: I need you to realize that when you ask God
Speaker 1: to grow, sometimes it will rain, but you need to
Speaker 1: rain because the rain is life. Right, and as long
Speaker 1: as you keep your eye on God, that's the light, right,
Speaker 1: the light in the way. And guess what, With the
Speaker 1: light in the way, there comes truth. And I think
Speaker 1: half the time we miss the truth because sometimes we
Speaker 1: aren't communisticating with ourselves like we need to. We up
Speaker 1: here so busy telling lies. And that's another thing interesting
Speaker 1: when you're communicating with somebody, How can you expect the
Speaker 1: truth from somebody who can't even be honest with themselves?
Speaker 1: M hm. I just need you to catch it, and
Speaker 1: I just need you to receive it, and I need
Speaker 1: you to catch it. And whether or not you're being
Speaker 1: honest with yourself, and again, honest with yourself is spending
Speaker 1: time with yourself. Being honest with yourself is taking time
Speaker 1: to meditate with yourself. Being honest with yourself is taking
Speaker 1: time to see yourself. Being honest with yourself is taking
Speaker 1: time to receive yourself. Did you catch it? That's what
Speaker 1: I need you to do. It's a lot going on
Speaker 1: out here. And if you're so busy that you can't
Speaker 1: even accept yourself, how the hell, you're gonna deal with
Speaker 1: everything else that's going on. You better check yourself before
Speaker 1: you rack yourself. You better see yourself before you deceive yourself,
Speaker 1: and you better receive yourself. Yeah, we got to right.
Speaker 1: We're gonna die anyway. And I want to say another thing.
Speaker 1: Don't get caught up in what you see. You gotta
Speaker 1: remain with the vision. So whatever it is that you want,
Speaker 1: don't let what you get caught up in what you
Speaker 1: see discourage you. You gotta remind yourself that greater is coming.
Speaker 1: You gotta remind yourself for the promise that's on your life.
Speaker 1: You're still here. It ain't over one step in front
Speaker 1: of the other. That's it. So what do you want?
Speaker 1: You're ready to get? It is yours for the asking,
Speaker 1: all right, y'all, So listen, make sure that you definitely
