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 of my name.
Speaker 1: My name is Dawn, and you get Vitamin D from
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: assad It is so important to operating clarity. I cannot
Speaker 1: stress that enough. I was on Instagram and I was
Speaker 1: on my girl blues page Blue to Lose Mom at
Speaker 1: Blue Centric, and she was on there talking about some
Speaker 1: coaching services that she offers, like life coaching, spiritual coaching,
Speaker 1: like all this jazz and um they're supporting because I
Speaker 1: love my girl. She's started talking about how she doesn't
Speaker 1: make or how she makes decisions wrap and her way
Speaker 1: of making decisions are choosing not to make them or
Speaker 1: operating fall. And as she went on to explain FALG,
Speaker 1: she said it was an acronym which she had picked
Speaker 1: from something else. But she also said was a little
Speaker 1: gym that she was offering um for free. That's traditionally
Speaker 1: part of her coaching package. And she said FALK is
Speaker 1: an acronym for fear, obligation, and guilt. What she said
Speaker 1: that out win because I can be an indecisive mofile. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but anybody know me. I
Speaker 1: can meet the indecisive like a mug. I probably get
Speaker 1: it from a mama. But when she said that that
Speaker 1: Willie hit a nerve. It really adjulted me because it
Speaker 1: really made me think about many times how I've made
Speaker 1: decisions and what has halted me from taking decisions or
Speaker 1: feeling hasnited and not feeling at peace. It was some
Speaker 1: type of fear of one, is this the right one?
Speaker 1: What if something better is around the corn? It obligation
Speaker 1: as if perhaps I didn't have a choice, like it
Speaker 1: was my due diligence, like because I am Dawn, or
Speaker 1: because I am part of this, that's what it's about.
Speaker 1: And then three guilt because perhaps I didn't want to
Speaker 1: let somebody else down, probably because I didn't want to
Speaker 1: offend somebody prohably because I wanted to make sure I
Speaker 1: show up in the best way that you know that
Speaker 1: if Dawn decided to make decisions, if Dawn decided to
Speaker 1: do something, it made her look good, and if she didn't,
Speaker 1: perhaps it didn't show me the best of light, none
Speaker 1: of which yielded anything that made me feel good, yielded
Speaker 1: anything that made me feel joy, yielded anything that made
Speaker 1: me feel like abundance. No. But when she said that,
Speaker 1: it merely made me think like, m hmmm, Because in
Speaker 1: operating in fog, that's not honoring self, that's not edifying me,
Speaker 1: Because now I'm operating in a sense of everything that's
Speaker 1: taken on the context around me. And I wonder how
Speaker 1: often times are we doing that in our lives, not
Speaker 1: operating a sense to down some one else, to shunt
Speaker 1: someone else, but operate in a way that honors herselves. Because,
Speaker 1: as she explained, just as if there was fog outside right,
Speaker 1: if there were fog outside right now, would you be
Speaker 1: so quick to driving there fifty miles a hundred miles
Speaker 1: an hour? What's your lights off? Then? Why make these
Speaker 1: types of choices and decisions in your life? If you
Speaker 1: know how to say, like if you want to look
Speaker 1: at the desires and the wants space or in your choices.
Speaker 1: What if you think that you're making a sound choice,
Speaker 1: not realizing that you're operating getting fog, fear, obligation, and kill.
Speaker 1: Now you know, I say, what doesn't serve you, doesn't
Speaker 1: deserve you? Tell me how does that serve you? Now
Speaker 1: we can comprehend this if we're driving a vehicle, But
Speaker 1: how about we think about that if how we're operating
Speaker 1: in our lives. Take a minute and think, Take a
Speaker 1: minute to breathe. If it doesn't feel good, chill, sit back,
Speaker 1: little home me. And when it's right, it feels right,
Speaker 1: you can move with it. And even if it just
Speaker 1: yield the perfect decision or what you feel is the
Speaker 1: perfect or right decision to end, you know you feel
Speaker 1: good doing it. And that's what it is about. I
Speaker 1: just spoke the other day about the I n G.
Speaker 1: How are you living? How are you doing? How are
Speaker 1: you being? Let it not be in for all fear, obligation, guilt.
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody got time for that. We live in the
Speaker 1: life of abundance. We live in life on purpose and
Speaker 1: for purpose because we subscribe into that vitamin day. They say,
Speaker 1: if you want to be better, you want to do better. Hell,
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to see better. Hod who I
Speaker 1: see you get your rightmind right here with me and
Speaker 1: get excited about your life. Well, we're doing something different today.
Speaker 1: The cameras aren't on. The cameras aren't on because I
Speaker 1: have a whole breakout of situation on my face and
Speaker 1: it's been happening for a minute. It's sarting to bother
Speaker 1: me because you know, I'm all about skincare. Scar Care
Speaker 1: is my ship. I didn't have to get off vulgar.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm for real because I really am
Speaker 1: for like the moisturization, I'm for exfoliation, I'm for sun block,
Speaker 1: anything that's protecting and preserving the skin. Because, as I say,
Speaker 1: I need to hold so I don't really do too
Speaker 1: many fragrancy things, too many um over the counter with
Speaker 1: too many cents. I like to keep it natural so
Speaker 1: I know what's going on, what's going on my face
Speaker 1: because for me. That's my selling point. That is the bug.
Speaker 1: So I said, I have to say, um, I once
Speaker 1: to a dermatologist because you know every you know, once
Speaker 1: a month I'll have a breakout situation. And so I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, why be good when you can be great?
Speaker 1: Let me see if there's something that can support, whether
Speaker 1: it be a top of cream, perhaps I can enhance um,
Speaker 1: a moisturizer, or to get into right and all uh,
Speaker 1: right name because you have the right name, right name,
Speaker 1: you know, those types of things. So I wanted the
Speaker 1: first time, and she asked, do I experience any breakouts
Speaker 1: on my face once a month during that time of
Speaker 1: the month. And I'm like yeah. She's like, oh, would
Speaker 1: you like an oral prescription? Immediately I said no, that's
Speaker 1: not my thing. My mom was always like not for that,
Speaker 1: and just taking extra things to put in your body
Speaker 1: because you know, when you stopped taking it, there's an
Speaker 1: adverse reaction. It's like your body become dependent and it
Speaker 1: starts reacting with it. So have you So anyhoo, I
Speaker 1: go back up there again for a second appointment. She
Speaker 1: asks again, why be good when you could be great?
Speaker 1: That's what's flying in my head. So I'm like, you
Speaker 1: know what, let's do it. Because there's been moments, you know,
Speaker 1: here being on the podcast, I'm trying to cover it
Speaker 1: up or Jeremiah is trying to adjust the camera so
Speaker 1: that we can get a good shot. Um, and I said, well,
Speaker 1: let's just do it, and she said take it. You
Speaker 1: know we can advance. Well, I kind of been leaning
Speaker 1: it off on it and my face is breaking out now.
Speaker 1: To me, the only variable is that of the prescription.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering is my body reacting from not having the
Speaker 1: prescription in there? I know, because this is ridiculous, the
Speaker 1: fact that we cannot be you can't see me right
Speaker 1: now doing this, that's a lot expect see for somebody
Speaker 1: such as myself that gets into skincare, like that is
Speaker 1: my thing, Like, yes, sell me on since skincare. Listen,
Speaker 1: if you are if you are trying to sell a
Speaker 1: product and it's since skincare, more than likely I'll get
Speaker 1: into it. Anyway. I'll say. All that to say is that, um,
Speaker 1: that's a bit of annoyance. Uh, We're gonna figure this out.
Speaker 1: Another probability that I'm wondering is I've been really having
Speaker 1: this fix for peanut butter yas crunchy peanut butter. Well
Speaker 1: on the jar they describe it as nutty yas honey.
Speaker 1: I would take me, um a tablespoone of that peanut
Speaker 1: butter honey and drizzle some honey on top. Oh baby,
Speaker 1: oh baby back baybay. Uh, that's my chest nails, you know,
Speaker 1: like for and I think I've probably been od doing it.
Speaker 1: And you know, peanut butter has a lot of oil,
Speaker 1: so that's another probability too. So I'm not gonna all
Speaker 1: the way throwing on the prescription from the doctor, from
Speaker 1: the dermatologist, but I will give a little bit of
Speaker 1: consideration what's happening with the peanut butter. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: I love peanut butter someone like I love it. In fact,
Speaker 1: I was just thinking I love nuts in general, pun
Speaker 1: intended and no pun intended, whatever you would take it.
Speaker 1: But like you, all my candies, like my favorite candies,
Speaker 1: peanut m and ms. I love a chunky Do you
Speaker 1: want a chunky? Is it's milk chocolate raisins and peanuts.
Speaker 1: I love chocolate, chip walnut shout out to milk jar, cookies. Um,
Speaker 1: all of that my stuff. So I need to figure
Speaker 1: out that situation and perhaps if you know anything, Kimmia,
Speaker 1: shoot me an email him up for social media Vitamin
Speaker 1: D Dawn Day and let me know if you know
Speaker 1: some good skincare products that I can use, because I'm
Speaker 1: not here for this. Uh and uh, let me tell
Speaker 1: you this soon. I've done God kicked off of Twitter.
Speaker 1: You out. Well, I shouldn't say I got necessarily kicked off,
Speaker 1: but my account is gone, and it's gone because I
Speaker 1: want to, like a social media sabbatticle, like I just
Speaker 1: needed a moment just to be drawn, just to not focus,
Speaker 1: not worried about posting likes anything. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: be free. When your mind's made up, that's Destiny's child anyway.
Speaker 1: So every other account linked in Facebook, Instagram, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I left to talk. They're just like girl, just go.
Speaker 1: But no, no, now Twitter wants to do a different moment.
Speaker 1: Twitter says that you cannot be gone longer than thirty days.
Speaker 1: If you are gone longer than thirty days, your account
Speaker 1: is dismissed. Well, I had an alarm set on my
Speaker 1: phone and say, hey, Dawn, make sure you go out
Speaker 1: logged into your Twitter account on June night or before
Speaker 1: June night I say by June nine, or before June ninth. Anyway,
Speaker 1: June ninth was in there. I had been really lax
Speaker 1: of days ago about it because I set the alarm
Speaker 1: like two days before, a week before, like I'm one
Speaker 1: of them alarm people, you know. So it wasn't about
Speaker 1: necessarily forgetting. I just wasn't in an urgency to do it.
Speaker 1: So I was laying there, and the day before June
Speaker 1: ninth that it was due to be fixed, I'm just
Speaker 1: laying there. And then June nine came, after twelve o'clock.
Speaker 1: I try to log in, it says this account does
Speaker 1: not exist. Damn, That's what I said to myself. I said, damn,
Speaker 1: because I'm thinking about all these memories that I have,
Speaker 1: memories such as The first thing that came to mind
Speaker 1: is um a tweet from Baby Smith. She retweeted my
Speaker 1: New York Times article. That New York Times article was
Speaker 1: a big moment for me. In fact, I gotta right
Speaker 1: here in the studio. It says, a voice for radio
Speaker 1: with ambition like Oprah's by robbing Fan. I was in
Speaker 1: the New York Times. Y'all go ahead doing day Oh.
Speaker 1: This was on Thursday, December six. What Isa, that's over
Speaker 1: a decade and I'm still here. But anyway, and you
Speaker 1: know her retweeting that I met one of my good girlfriends,
Speaker 1: Dr Ronee Matthews and she has a book out. Mommy,
Speaker 1: I can't breathe make sure you check that out if
Speaker 1: you have allergies or you know somebody with allergies. But
Speaker 1: I'm just saying the memories. And even Queen Latifa was
Speaker 1: following me. I don't know if she did. There's somebody
Speaker 1: from her camp and doesn't matter was there. And I
Speaker 1: guess whatever, her memories of whatever, and I guess I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about it now. Twitter was like the first social
Speaker 1: media of everything. Right, well, let's wait, hold on, slow down,
Speaker 1: Jim Shoe. Jeremiah just said my space, slow down, Jim Shoe.
Speaker 1: Let me take it back to the old heads. What
Speaker 1: y'all know about that MySpace? Oh no, let me take
Speaker 1: it back to the old heads. What y'all know about
Speaker 1: that Black Planet? What do you know about black Planet?
Speaker 1: See if you can find me cupcakes seven seven seven? Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm scared if they still have that up. Honey. Oh
Speaker 1: the picture should be of me an advisor. I should
Speaker 1: have my lip liner wrong because this is when you
Speaker 1: had the brown lip liner and you put the frosty
Speaker 1: the frosty cream in the center. Honey. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: when I had a perm honey, so I had to
Speaker 1: smooth ball. Yeah, you couldn't tell me nothing. Cupcakes seven
Speaker 1: seven seven, hollidt me let me know if it's there,
Speaker 1: hit me up. Oh my gosh, I'm scared. I don't
Speaker 1: even know I told you that. But anyway, back to formation.
Speaker 1: Twitter has a lot of memories on there, so immediately
Speaker 1: it's gone, I'm thinking like damn. But then I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, if I've been gone away from thirty days,
Speaker 1: did I really miss it? And you know, I'm a
Speaker 1: firm believer of how you do anything, it's how you'll
Speaker 1: do everything. So what am I missing? Why am I
Speaker 1: tripping over holding onto something that I haven't even checked
Speaker 1: in over thirty days? It makes me think of how
Speaker 1: many other things I could be holding on in my life.
Speaker 1: And it really had me to do a self check.
Speaker 1: And it stuck so hard to me because I've told
Speaker 1: you before my mother was award she kept everything and
Speaker 1: I'm not here to judge. I'm not here to point
Speaker 1: blame because we do with the best that we can
Speaker 1: with what we have and what we know. And that's
Speaker 1: what we call grace. Grace for that space and for
Speaker 1: my mom in her instance, she was losing everything. You know,
Speaker 1: I may have told you my mom was known for
Speaker 1: her hair. She would have her hair in a ponytail. Honey,
Speaker 1: that ponytail would hit to the back of in the
Speaker 1: middle of her back. She could sit on her hair
Speaker 1: in a ponytail. How ponytail, That's how I think her
Speaker 1: hair wasn't how long it was so from her, you know,
Speaker 1: losing her husband having cancer which resulted in her losing
Speaker 1: her hair. And if you know any black woman, any
Speaker 1: woman at all, parents is an important part of an
Speaker 1: identity he had. Even men can say that, right her
Speaker 1: mother died. They're just just financial Trump's just think aftery thing.
Speaker 1: So it's like, I can imagine why we hold onto something.
Speaker 1: We hold onto something to keep it constant, hold onto
Speaker 1: something to get a strong cold, hold on to something
Speaker 1: to get anchored. But what happens when we're holding going
Speaker 1: to so much stuff that we start to sink. Now,
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna go aligned about what vitamin D is
Speaker 1: all about, Vitamin D is all about being better. And
Speaker 1: if you want to be better and you want to
Speaker 1: do better, you have to be able to see better. Well,
Speaker 1: how are you going to see if you have so
Speaker 1: much stuff? And stuff is the just in case? The
Speaker 1: stuff is what if it happened this way? The stuff
Speaker 1: is I can't breathe because there's so much stuff. So
Speaker 1: I'm charging myself to look at things a little different
Speaker 1: because if I'm making room for abundance, I gotta make
Speaker 1: room for stuff to come in, even things that are
Speaker 1: taxing on me emotionally. If it is draining me, it
Speaker 1: is taking too much away from me. So therefore the
Speaker 1: relax station period is closing up. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's like, for example, let me put it to you
Speaker 1: like this. Think about an apartment, right. Tell me, what's
Speaker 1: the difference between somebody that may purchase a three thousand
Speaker 1: square foot department in a five square foot department. If
Speaker 1: the person with the three thousand square foot department has
Speaker 1: so much stuff in it, so much stuff that you
Speaker 1: can't move around, so much stuff that it's hard to
Speaker 1: walk around, so much stuff that you barely can look
Speaker 1: out the window, make room. Making room looks like letting
Speaker 1: go of that relationship, replaying that old thanky thing back
Speaker 1: and what could have been, what should have been, what
Speaker 1: would have been versus what is so allowing yourself to
Speaker 1: let go of that. Guess what? Now we can make
Speaker 1: room for a new thanky thing, thang thang, and that
Speaker 1: goes the same with it. You know, maybe not feeling
Speaker 1: so good depression wise and stressed out, figure out ways
Speaker 1: to release that, to relieve that so that you can
Speaker 1: bring in those joyous memories so that you can start
Speaker 1: the feel good. Because what do I say, how you
Speaker 1: do anything? It's how you'll do everything, and it's time
Speaker 1: to make wrong. That's what we're talking about. Abundance, right,
Speaker 1: That's what I mean when I say abundance. I don't
Speaker 1: know about you. So what do you want? What are
Speaker 1: you asking for? Huh? I'm just curious, as I know
Speaker 1: I know what I want, and I'm just clear now
Speaker 1: that if it's so much stuff, I don't have room
Speaker 1: to breathe, I don't have room to be, I don't
Speaker 1: have room to exist. And perhaps in so many ways
Speaker 1: that's what grace is looking like that I give myself
Speaker 1: that I'm making this room. Yeah, So I want to
Speaker 1: implore you just as though, I implore myself and say,
Speaker 1: it's time to make wrong, so get rid of the
Speaker 1: stuff so you can make room. So, as of now,
Speaker 1: I don't have a Twitter account. Maybe perhaps I'll go
Speaker 1: ahead and try to create another one. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't see what happens whatever whenever however, for whatever
Speaker 1: the weather. But now that I look back, I guess
Speaker 1: I didn't miss much after all. Right, everything happens for
Speaker 1: a reason, all right, So um, let's do some housekeeping.
Speaker 1: Would you like to be on the show. Do you
Speaker 1: have an idea or topic for the show. Well, I
Speaker 1: want to encourage you to shoot us an email. Email
