7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: firsthand from the attendees. So let's get into it.

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: Hello. My name is Monique, and I chose this trip

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: because I was at a really weird place in my life.

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 2: I was doing the work and doing everything right and

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: wasn't receiving the outcomes of what I felt that I

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: deserve and knew that I deserve. After losing my job

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: due to a layoff in February, Go and Behold, the

14
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: retreat came along and I doubted. I didn't want to

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: do it. I had all these different thoughts, but something

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: kept calling me here, calling me to a place that

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: allowed me to finally become the person that I am

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: destined to be. I know this might sound cliche to

19
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: who's ever listening and needs that nudge or that confirmation.

20
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: I don't know why you're doing it, but for me,

21
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: I needed to find me right. I needed a community

22
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: of women who were like minded, who will be open,

23
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: who would be empathetic, sympathetic to where I was in

24
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 2: my life. And to be quite honest, I didn't know

25
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: if any of that was here because the fear was

26
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: so strong. But I chose to go beyond the fear.

27
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: And that was one of the things that I received

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: from this trip. I received so much I cannot put

29
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: one word or one specific thing because it was just

30
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: everything to me. It was more than enough, Like I

31
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: joke with the ladies, like I could have left on

32
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: the second day, but every single experience just continued to

33
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: unfold and unpack all of my suppressed doubt, fears, inadequacies,

34
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: whatever it is that I thought less than about myself.

35
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: Like everything confirmed, Like girl, you are it, like you

36
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: are here. You deserve this. Yes, I had to go

37
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: across out of country to get it, but it was

38
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: so worth it. I would do it again and again

39
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: and again. I think, Erica, e Miila, I've told them this,

40
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: and I'll tell them again and again. Thank you for

41
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: taking up the time to do the work to do.

42
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: But we as females need right when we cannot get

43
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 2: it in our small town or we're too busy and

44
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: our big town to be able to our big city

45
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: to be able to receive it. Thank you for just

46
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: taking up space, allowing your spirits to be open, honest,

47
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: so that people like me am a very small town

48
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: in the South who felt really small but was able

49
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: to come here and get my voice back and be

50
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: able to speak openly and honestly and just say what

51
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: the fuck is in me right that I feel that

52
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: I've been suppressed for so long. I greatly appreciate it.

53
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 2: I will not stop saying it because it means too much,

54
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: and I just know that you guys may need to

55
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: hear it. But I'm going to tell you over and

56
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: over again and thank you from the bottom of my

57
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: heart for just giving me this opportunity to finally become

58
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: the woman that I know that I am. Thank you
