All I could think about 133 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 3: is how my parents would respond. It was their response 134 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 3: that let me know that this is bigger than trouble, 135 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: Like your life has changed.

That was the 177 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 3: beginning of shame. I think before then, like I knew 178 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 3: my life had changed. I was still probably trying to 179 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 3: figure out what that meant. I knew my parents were 180 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: grieving and working through something. But the beginning of embarrassment 181 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 3: and ashamed happened before I was even showing wow, and 182 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 3: it just carried on throughout then, wondering like what do 183 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 3: people think about me? Or knowing what people thought about me, 184 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 3: you know, people like you know, fast girls are contagious, 185 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 3: so like we got to pull our daughters away from you. 186 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: So that was an interesting thing. 187 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: It's funny when you say fast girls are contagious. We 188 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: had to pull our daughters away from you. I remember 189 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: my brother. He had gotten in trouble when he was younger, 190 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: and as parents, you want to when you see other 191 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: people's children saying, don't hang around him because he's a 192 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: troublemaker and your son hasn't done anything yet. But then 193 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: when your son gets in trouble and you feel what 194 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: it feels like for other parents, be like stay away 195 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: from him, crazy. 196 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: It's a different. 197 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: Feeling, and you're like, oh, then you realize what that 198 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: feels like. It's not until it's your child that people 199 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: are saying don't hang around that when I don't. 200 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: She's a troublemaker. 201 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: He's a troublemaker that they realize, Oh, this is what 202 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: I was doing too to understand their kids. 203 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 3: And it's so interesting now that I am a parent, 204 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: I think that like, separation is what we use instead 205 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 3: of conversation. So instead of talking about like what types 206 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 3: of conversations are you all having at your age, and 207 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 3: like how did you feel about that, and like what 208 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 3: do you think about your own body and your own 209 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 3: like what, we don't have conversations. We just separate, which 210 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily keep it from happening, because unless we're having 211 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 3: communication with our children, we're just setting them up to 212 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: do something with a different friend group. 213 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 2: You know exactly. That's so true. How do you have 214 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 2: transparent and vulnerable conversations with your kids? 215 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, okay, because you know now, I like, 216 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 3: I'm probably overboard. 217 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: They're probably sicking me. 218 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: Mom. 219 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 3: So a few years ago, my daughter was singing a 220 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 3: song in the car, is like some Lizzo song, and 221 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 3: she whatever it was. I don't remember exactly the song, 222 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 3: but whatever it was, I could tell she was talking 223 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 3: about something nasty, but she was it had some candy 224 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 3: on it, so what nastiness? 225 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: Right? 226 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 3: And so I paused it and I was like, what 227 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 3: do you think she just meant by that? And she 228 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 3: was like, I don't know, I just like to be 229 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 3: I was like, well, she's talking about is someone that 230 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 3: I'm using like the biological names, body parts like? 231 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: And how about this happening there? She's like, I was like, 232 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 2: is that gross? Isn't that terrible? 233 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 3: Break this down because I just want you to understand that, 234 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 3: like part of the messages that are being sent are 235 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 3: so sugarcoated that you will be bopping your head to 236 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 3: something that you actually think is gross. And I'm like, okay, 237 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 3: the beat. It like, I'm not trying to take your 238 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 3: little shoulder bop away. I just want you to know 239 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 3: that while your shoulders are bopping, they're trying to. 240 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 2: Send you a message exactly. And so she was. 241 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 3: Early in her life when we started asking when she 242 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 3: when we had that conversation. Another thing I've done is 243 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 3: I'm like, anything in the world that you asked me, 244 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 3: I will answer because if you were grown enough to 245 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 3: ask me, like if it's circling in your world, circling 246 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 3: in your thoughts, I want you to know that, no 247 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 3: matter what, if you ask me, I will tell you 248 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 3: the truth. And my girls take full advantage of this. 249 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 3: I tell my husband sometimes some of the stuff they're 250 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: asking me. 251 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 2: He's like, oh, I don't ask you right there. 252 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 3: But it's really funny to hear what's happening in their school, 253 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 3: Like I'm keeping up with all their friends, and like, oh, 254 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 3: was she talking about house her friends? How are things 255 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 3: with her mom? I'm not like the other mom. I'm 256 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 3: a cool mom right right. I can sense that, but 257 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: it helps me. It helps me to keep a pulse 258 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 3: on their world. My kids are really really important to me. 259 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 3: And then the scheme of all of what's happening in 260 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 3: my life. I just want them to always feel centered 261 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 3: stage and I want them to know that I want 262 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 3: to be a part of your world. You're not just 263 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: in my world. I want to be a part of 264 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 3: your world. And we work towards that. 265 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 2: I love. That is amazing. I thank you. I love 266 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 2: being a mom. It's okay. 267 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: Now, let me tell you something personal. I go back 268 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: and forth if I want. 269 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 2: To have kids. 270 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm forty one now, and I'm like, you know, as 271 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: we get older, it's harder to have kids, and pd 272 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 1: I go to change church doctor Dais Daniels, and he 273 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: told the story about Sarah okay, and I was like, well, 274 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: maybe I'll have a Sarah moment, you know where, like 275 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: later on in life, if God's willing, then I'll. 276 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: Have a child. 277 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: But I am so scared to bring up a child 278 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: into the world that it is today because it's not 279 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: like it was we were growing up. It is so different. 280 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: And I just think about all the influence from social 281 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 1: media to the music, you know, even like the music 282 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: we listen to back then in the nineties, they were 283 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: saying some freaky stuff that and now I'm growing I'm like, 284 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: I know I did. 285 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 3: The fact that I could rap word for words Lady 286 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 3: Chris's song I Want to Do Things in. 287 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 2: The back of the crowd.

And that has really helped 293 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 3: me to forgive myself too, because a lot of times 294 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 3: I was just looking at what I did, but not 295 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 3: the context that I was raising when I made those choices. 296 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 3: So my parents are busy, they're working, and I am 297 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 3: literally being raised by the culture. I'm being raised by 298 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 3: hip hop. I'm being raised by music, and so it 299 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 3: was not as far off as it's people people made 300 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 3: it sing.

It just the same way 667 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: with me because I know these are people that's gonna 668 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: ride with me. If I fall down, They're gonna help 669 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: me get back up. She's gonna like walk over me 670 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: and be like, all right, girl, we're done with you. 671 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 4: I know. 672 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 3: I want to believe though, And sometimes I remind myself 673 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 3: this because even the people who have been canceled haven't 674 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 3: been canceled, like, there are still some people who really 675 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 3: rock with them or like, you know, I love them, 676 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 3: And so I also don't want to make the people 677 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 3: who would be willing to grow with me feel like 678 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 3: I don't trust them either, because there are some people. 679 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I've seen a lot of people 680 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 3: who look like, oh my gosh, this is their Downfather're 681 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 3: never going to recover from this. But there was a 682 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 3: space creative for them. So I don't know, we'll see 683 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 3: what happened. 684 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: Oof. That's so true. You talked about you're going to 685 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: talk to your therapist about it. A lot of people 686 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: don't want to mix Jesus with therapy. When did you 687 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: realize that God did create other tools of resources that 688 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: you could talk to someone and still believe that. 689 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 2: Your source is Jesus Christ. 690 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 3: My relationship with God has become much more deeper as 691 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 3: the result of me being in therapy, because there were 692 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 3: moments where I felt something that I could not give language. 693 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 2: So my prayer was not as effected. You know. 694 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 3: It's just kind of like God helped me. God helped me, 695 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 3: God help me. But to be able to say, like, God, 696 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 3: I am feeling anxious about this transition that's taking place 697 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 3: in my life, and I need your spirit to meet 698 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 3: me in the place of my anxiety. Like my prayer, 699 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 3: life became so much better. It was probably honestly, after 700 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 3: I dropped my book Woman Evolve and hit the New 701 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 3: York Times bestsellers list, and one of my friends came 702 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 3: up and she's like, oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, 703 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 3: And I was like, you know what I mean. It's 704 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 3: as I feel like I should probably be happy about this, 705 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,239 Speaker 3: but I don't feel anything at all. And so I 706 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 3: started reading some books and then once I went through 707 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 3: a few books, I'm like, you probably should talk to someone. 708 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 3: But what I learned is that like I have just 709 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 3: been like emotionally frozen because I was overwhelmed by shame 710 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 3: and regret and depression, that I can function and work 711 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 3: and hit markers and hit goals, but I can't celebrate myself. 712 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 3: I don't know joy, I don't even know anger. Like 713 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 3: people can disappoint me. I don't let it get to 714 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 3: me because I won't own or advocate for what I'm 715 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 3: feeling in any given moment. And so I feel like 716 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 3: I've become a much better partner, a much better leader, 717 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 3: and a much better believer as a result of me 718 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 3: going to therapy. 719 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, same, I did. My therapist definitely opened me up. 720 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: My therapist and I just talked about what I just 721 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: learned was the mother wound. And you did an episode 722 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: with your mom entitled Trauma to Hope. You also read 723 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: the book, which is a book that Denor Introd introduced 724 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: me to adult children of emotionally immature parents. What was 725 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: that like opening up to your mom, like in her 726 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: actually apologizing for not being there the way that you 727 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: needed her to be. 728 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 3: It was interesting because we've never had the conversation before. 729 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 3: I just came to a place where I was like, 730 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 3: I'm going to do this work on my own. I'm 731 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 3: not going to invite either of my parents to be 732 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 3: a part of this journey because I don't know where 733 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 3: they are and I don't I don't know that they're 734 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 3: going to be receptive to this, so I'm going to 735 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 3: just figure it out on my own. And I think 736 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 3: I was actually doing I was at that stage when 737 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 3: we had this conversation and out of. 738 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 2: Nowhere she started it. 739 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 3: Out of nowhere, she said something like I think I 740 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 3: was talking about being nervous about moving back to Dallas 741 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 3: because I didn't want to, you know, I wanted to 742 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 3: keep my family clothes, and she was like, please do that. 743 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 2: I didn't do that with you all. 744 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: I was like, just oof the accountability and saying it. 745 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 3: She just said it, like she just said it.

So I have to be intentional about 869 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 3: taking time off. So I think tour ends for me 870 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 3: on a Tuesday, and I'm going home. But I was like, 871 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask the older kids to take the younger 872 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 3: kids to school, because if tour ends on Tuesday and 873 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 3: I got to be up at six on Wednesday to 874 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,479 Speaker 3: take kids to school, it's like, yeah, tour is over, 875 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 3: but like I just got re enlisted. It's a whole 876 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 3: nother battlefield right here, really, And so I've had to 877 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 3: ask for help to piece my sabbage together. I used 878 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 3: to just wait for a day when I'd be able 879 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 3: to take it off, but now I've had to be 880 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 3: proactive and asking for help in advance. And let me 881 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,360 Speaker 3: tell you, doing that it changed my relationship. It changed 882 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,800 Speaker 3: the way that I show up in my world. Instead 883 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 3: of being the person who allowed people to believe that 884 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 3: I have limitless capacity, that I could get off on 885 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 3: tour and jump into the mom thing and not skip 886 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 3: a beat. I had to be willing to say I 887 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,959 Speaker 3: actually do need to skip a beat because I can't 888 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 3: dance this fast. And I think, what part of the 889 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 3: issue with being like the strong friend or the person 890 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,279 Speaker 3: who just has so much capacity is there is a 891 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 3: little pride, a little ego stroking that come frohmen, somebody's like, 892 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 3: I can never do that. 893 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 2: Did you be like? But I did? You know what 894 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 2: I mean? 895 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 3: Now, I'm probably depressed and I'm crossing binge eating and 896 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 3: I can't in my clothes. But and so I had 897 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 3: to learn to not seek out the accolades that come 898 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,320 Speaker 3: with over exertion. 899 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: Yes, oh, because we live in this society where it's 900 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: like you sleep when you're dead. 901 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 2: No, I'm asleep after this. I don't believe that. I 902 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,879 Speaker 2: don't believe he wants that from me. No, neither. I'm 903 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 2: a napper. I have to have I gotta get. 904 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm learning to really ask for additional support 905 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 3: and not allow my ego to be fed by this 906 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 3: relentless you gotta keep going things so true, I have 907 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 3: to do that. 908 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm not good at asking for help because I've always 909 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: had to do everything on my own and then finding 910 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,800 Speaker 1: good help.

And then before 1085 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,000 Speaker 1: I know, you guys are in Denver and then Dallas. 1086 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,439 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my goodness, but just the way 1087 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: he delivers the message. And then you come up and 1088 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, wait a minute, these two both are doing it. 1089 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and everybody gets it. You know, 1090 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: sometimes people preach over your head. You guys are reaching 1091 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 1: people at the level that they are in a way 1092 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:56,439 Speaker 1: that we can understand it. We see ourselves, and it 1093 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 1: inspires us to just be better people. 1094 00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, that means a lot to me. I wasn't in ministry. 1095 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,960 Speaker 3: I wasn't in ministry when I met him. I was blogging, 1096 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 3: I was telling my little story, but I wasn't preaching. 1097 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 3: I wasn't praying out loud. So I was like, invite 1098 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 3: me to be on a panel. I'll offer some insights 1099 00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,759 Speaker 3: as a collective. So you know that solodolo thing is 1100 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,759 Speaker 3: not me and his church was the first church where 1101 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 3: he was like, listen, if there is any place where 1102 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,320 Speaker 3: you could come and tell your story at a church, 1103 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 3: like it will be my church. 1104 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:30,799 Speaker 2: Like You'll be fine. Wow. 1105 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 3: And so he asked me to come speak on a 1106 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,400 Speaker 3: Sunday in twenty fourteen. 1107 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,759 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I don't do Sundays. Come me on. 1108 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 3: Wednesday, baby, Friday night, Friday night, girls night. But Sundays 1109 00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 3: that's like where the real people are. And so One 1110 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,040 Speaker 3: was very much of the place where I feel like 1111 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 3: I found my unique voice in ministry. And I just 1112 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 3: felt like, Okay, well One will just be the place 1113 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,719 Speaker 3: where I do ministry because they get me, they understand me. 1114 00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 3: And so I attribute a lot of my spiritual development 1115 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,719 Speaker 3: to his anointing and my voice being cultivated in the 1116 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,840 Speaker 3: spaces that he created. And then as I became more confident, 1117 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 3: I think as the gift began to grow and attract 1118 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,400 Speaker 3: other people and other spaces that He's been a covering 1119 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:15,719 Speaker 3: for me. 1120 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,239 Speaker 2: It's just like just do you everywhere you go? 1121 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:22,279 Speaker 1: Oh, that's good, and that's what That's important to have 1122 00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,040 Speaker 1: that type of support as a woman, just in every 1123 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 1: woman needs that just type of support was like, baby, 1124 00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 1: do you. 1125 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 2: Everywhere you go? Yeah? And it's funny. 1126 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,799 Speaker 3: So like most of the time when we're in LA, 1127 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 3: people are like, oh, you're a PT's wife, And then 1128 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 3: if he goes somewhere, They're like, oh, you're s Jr's husband, 1129 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:41,440 Speaker 3: just like depending on where we are, because like when 1130 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:46,000 Speaker 3: I tell you, he is Hollywood, like on absolute lot, 1131 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 3: like New York, Atlanta, Like we do not go anywhere 1132 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:50,800 Speaker 3: without people being like PTT. 1133 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 2: So like, for me, it's cool because. 1134 00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,239 Speaker 3: I get to see my husband in his lane, in 1135 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,720 Speaker 3: his purpose with his unique identity.

But I 1197 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,400 Speaker 3: want to sit back and think about all of the 1198 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,720 Speaker 3: ways God showed up for me throughout this tour, throughout 1199 00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,640 Speaker 3: this book, writing process, throughout the whole because God gave 1200 00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:24,479 Speaker 3: me this concept with this book that it made sense 1201 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:25,719 Speaker 3: to me. But I'm like, I don't know if I 1202 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,600 Speaker 3: can put it into language, you know, because i think 1203 00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,640 Speaker 3: when people hear they're title, they're like, power moves, you 1204 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:31,960 Speaker 3: gonna show me how to do something. 1205 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,040 Speaker 2: And it's really about the fluidity of. 1206 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,440 Speaker 3: Power and how I can be powerful as a speaker 1207 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,400 Speaker 3: and powerful as a mother if I'm in the flow 1208 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 3: of God's power that everything I do is powerful. But 1209 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,799 Speaker 3: I didn't. I kept second guessing whether or not I 1210 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,359 Speaker 3: made it make sense and to be able to hear 1211 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,719 Speaker 3: I was I was actually getting had a health scare 1212 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,600 Speaker 3: in December, and I'm like in the hospital, it's fresh 1213 00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,920 Speaker 3: out of anesthesia with my main script reading through this 1214 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:02,799 Speaker 3: book because I'm just like, it has to make sense, 1215 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,200 Speaker 3: it has to make sense, and for people to say 1216 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:06,000 Speaker 3: that it makes. 1217 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:06,960 Speaker 2: Sense, it does no. 1218 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 1: You should see my iPad because like I literally was 1219 00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,279 Speaker 1: like it's purple, like it's so many highlights. 1220 00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,360 Speaker 2: It's crazy that means so much to me. 1221 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,479 Speaker 3: And then like you know, I've done these interviews and 1222 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 3: I don't like thinking on my speed, and I've had 1223 00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,759 Speaker 3: to speak to people and like God has given me 1224 00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,840 Speaker 3: language and words. When I did the Records Club, Jason 1225 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 3: put me in a white button down, and I was like, 1226 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 3: I can't wear a white button down because I sweat 1227 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,120 Speaker 3: like a man, like a full I build things like 1228 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 3: a man. I swet like and I was like, no, 1229 00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:38,320 Speaker 3: because I'm gonna be porn. So I had so much peace. 1230 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 3: I was so grounded, like I didn't sweat through my 1231 00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,359 Speaker 3: clothes like little things that are. 1232 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,920 Speaker 2: Dumb to most people. Yeah, I am. 1233 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,799 Speaker 3: So I just want to sit back and think I've 1234 00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,000 Speaker 3: received so much love in these cities. Somebody in Houston 1235 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,960 Speaker 3: told me I had made the decision to commit suicide, 1236 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 3: and I came with my eleven year old daughter because 1237 00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 3: I wanted that to be one of our last experiences. 1238 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 2: She was like, I decided to live. 1239 00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,360 Speaker 3: Something happened in that room where I know I God's 1240 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,959 Speaker 3: got something for me, that there's power in me, more 1241 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,040 Speaker 3: power than this depression. And so just like to not 1242 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,240 Speaker 3: just let that be something that goes by and Houston 1243 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,000 Speaker 3: was after the Houston date, I wanted to cancel the 1244 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:16,479 Speaker 3: whole tour. 1245 00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:18,880 Speaker 2: Really, Oh yeah, you want to go to Atlanta. 1246 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,239 Speaker 3: I was like, Atlanta, don't want me to come. I 1247 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 3: was so was it just like, well, I've toured before. 1248 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,439 Speaker 3: I usually have a worship team. Doctor Nita Phillips comes 1249 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 3: on the road with me sometimes, and so there's all 1250 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,200 Speaker 3: of these different elements. Well, I'm like, this is a 1251 00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,359 Speaker 3: book tour. Most of the time I'm on a book tour, 1252 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,160 Speaker 3: someone's being interviewed about their book. But I was like, 1253 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:39,719 Speaker 3: but no one knows this book better than me, and 1254 00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,080 Speaker 3: I didn't know if the book let. 1255 00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 1: Me do. 1256 00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:49,280 Speaker 2: Her exactly weird. It's weird, it's weird. 1257 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,480 Speaker 3: So I was like, I'm going to create this evening 1258 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:53,840 Speaker 3: that is going to allow me to set a foundation 1259 00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,680 Speaker 3: for people to read the book. There is no worship. 1260 00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,919 Speaker 3: I'm gonna like, I'm going to engage with them. I'm 1261 00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,120 Speaker 3: going to interview people who I feel like embody the 1262 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,440 Speaker 3: message of the book, and then I'm going to speak. 1263 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,400 Speaker 3: But it's so different than anything that's been done to 1264 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,800 Speaker 3: After Houston, I was like, it's too new, it's too different. 1265 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,320 Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense. I'm finished. 1266 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:13,960 Speaker 3: Wow, but power was moving even in my insecurity and uncertainty. 1267 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 3: So I just I want to find all of the 1268 00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,240 Speaker 3: ways that power moved in this season and collect them 1269 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:22,800 Speaker 3: for whatever's next. 1270 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 2: Yes, I love that, Sarah.

Your podcast has 1280 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,960 Speaker 1: made me feel so many emotions in every season. Thank 1281 00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 1: you for letting me laugh, cry, sing, shout, dance, evaluate life, 1282 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 1: get to the root, get closer with God, and just overall, 1283 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,280 Speaker 1: learn to be and embrace everything about me. I am 1284 00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,360 Speaker 1: a thirty three year old, single, single mother of three, 1285 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,560 Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm stuck where I currently am. 1286 00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,440 Speaker 1: I know God has given me dreams and visions, but 1287 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm stuck on how to activate them. There have been 1288 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,680 Speaker 1: times where I was very adamant on my path what 1289 00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 1: I wanted to do and win. But when the time 1290 00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 1: came forward to come forth, I became afraid. How do 1291 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 1: you listen to the voice of God when it seems 1292 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,160 Speaker 1: as if everyone's voice is louder? How do you get 1293 00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:39,040 Speaker 1: over your feelings of fear? What are some steps that 1294 00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 1: you recommend to someone who feels like it's too late 1295 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:47,040 Speaker 1: to get started?

You know, I moved here and I want 1299 00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,080 Speaker 1: to say two thousand and nine, and it was a 1300 00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,200 Speaker 1: ten year process before I got my first show. Be like, 1301 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:01,560 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you just get out of nowhere. No, 1302 00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 1: it was ten years that I was over here grinding 1303 00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:04,440 Speaker 1: and struggling. 1304 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 2: Until that hit. So it's never too late, you know, 1305 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 2: when God. 1306 00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,040 Speaker 1: Says, yes, that's your time to go, baby, and nobody 1307 00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,720 Speaker 1: can stop you when he says yes. As far as 1308 00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,800 Speaker 1: other people's voices being louder than you can make out 1309 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 1: the voice of God, for me, it's meditation and sitting 1310 00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:23,800 Speaker 1: in the stillness in the morning when like nobody's up, 1311 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:25,720 Speaker 1: when I can just hear the birds waking up. That 1312 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,400 Speaker 1: is the best time for me to hear God's voice 1313 00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,360 Speaker 1: because it's nothing going on. A lot of times, once 1314 00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 1: a day get started, it's like calls start coming in. 1315 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:33,800 Speaker 2: They ready giving you a pin. Oh, you shouldn't do that, 1316 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 2: you shouldn't do. 1317 00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:36,480 Speaker 1: That's when I feel like it's hard to like really 1318 00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 1: discern where, like, God, where are you really leading me? 1319 00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 1: So I would say, for sure, just find time that 1320 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:43,920 Speaker 1: you can really until you get to a point in 1321 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:45,919 Speaker 1: your walk with guy where you really just hear him. 1322 00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,320 Speaker 1: And sometimes you can be in New York City Times 1323 00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:48,880 Speaker 1: Square and you can. 1324 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:50,800 Speaker 2: Hear him clearly like oh gotcha, you know. 1325 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,440 Speaker 1: But sometimes you need to find that still quiet space 1326 00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 1: that you can really just be a one with him 1327 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,120 Speaker 1: where you can see what direction he wants to just 1328 00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:57,520 Speaker 1: take you to. 1329 00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:01,960 Speaker 2: But and Sarah Jakes roberts, but Karen moves. 1330 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:06,160 Speaker 1: She talks about marinating before you activate, because honey, I 1331 01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,000 Speaker 1: didn't activated some things I should have loved marinate for at. 1332 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:14,520 Speaker 2: Okay, So definitely I. 1333 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,040 Speaker 1: Would just marinate on what you're trying to do before 1334 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:18,040 Speaker 1: you activate anything. 1335 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,440 Speaker 2: Sarah, what do you got to say to her? Everything 1336 01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:21,120 Speaker 2: that you said? 1337 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,120 Speaker 3: I would say as a part of marinating that I 1338 01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 3: would consider why do you feel stuck? I'm one of 1339 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,840 Speaker 3: those people who like to face off with the fear, 1340 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,720 Speaker 3: face off with the pain, the shame to understand the 1341 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,080 Speaker 3: messages that I am receiving. And so I am stuck 1342 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:41,400 Speaker 3: because I am afraid that blank is going to happen. 1343 01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:44,520 Speaker 3: I am stuck because I believe that I do not 1344 01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,479 Speaker 3: have blank? Like what is it if that is making 1345 01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,200 Speaker 3: me feel stuck? And is there anything that you can 1346 01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,120 Speaker 3: do to get unstuck? 1347 01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 1: Like? 1348 01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,520 Speaker 3: Do I need to believe differently? Are there courses I 1349 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 3: can take that? Are there conversations that I need to have? 1350 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:00,640 Speaker 3: Are these friendships the right friend and chips for me? 1351 01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,480 Speaker 3: If I'm stuck because I'm afraid people are going to 1352 01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 3: make fun of me if I don't do this well? 1353 01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 3: Like are these the types of friends that I want 1354 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:07,920 Speaker 3: to have in the first place? 1355 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:09,480 Speaker 2: Am I wrong? Or what I make fun? 1356 01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:09,640 Speaker 1: Like? 1357 01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,520 Speaker 3: I think there's so many things that when we're marinating 1358 01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:14,920 Speaker 3: that allows us to see Sometimes what I'm marinating on 1359 01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,000 Speaker 3: isn't even something that's possible, Like these friends would never 1360 01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 3: make fun of me, They're so compassionate, you know what 1361 01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,760 Speaker 3: I mean? And we get stuck believing something that's not 1362 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,280 Speaker 3: even true. So I would definitely say take some time 1363 01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 3: to marinate to decide, like what exactly makes me feel 1364 01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 3: stuck and is it really true? Because a lot of 1365 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,120 Speaker 3: times it's not true. 1366 01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,000 Speaker 2: So that's good. Yeah that's real. 1367 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: A lot of times I'm an overthinker, so I always 1368 01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,680 Speaker 1: overthink the worst sometimes, like or I can overthink the 1369 01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,560 Speaker 1: best and be like girl, Okay, calm down. 1370 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:45,120 Speaker 2: I overthink too. 1371 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 3: I think that's part of what makes so much of 1372 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:52,560 Speaker 3: what we do successful is that it is well thought out. Yes, 1373 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:56,919 Speaker 3: but there are other moments where it is enough thinking yeah, 1374 01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,160 Speaker 3: that is so true. 1375 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,080 Speaker 1: Then we do something that's called what I'm growing through 1376 01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:09,240 Speaker 1: and what I'm going through?
