Speaker 1: in the early State about two thousand and seven. They

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: was they were struggling socially, now, you know. And and

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: I told him, I say, look, uh, I'll give you.

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: I give you five thouars. I think it's like five

28
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,920

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: social Media one hundred Ways or something to up your

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: social media game or something like that. And we failed miserably.

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: I mean they actually walked away from its, stopped talking

32
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: to me. You know, they didn't try it a little bit.

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: You know, they try, We failed. We failed miserably. It

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: was not our calling. Then, now, what is your social

35
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: media numbers? Now? My friend so on beyond her, I

36
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: met over twenty thousand followers from my Active Wellness brand

37
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: and then from my personal I am Brandy Harvey on Instagram.

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: I have over a hundred thirty thousand Instagram followers. Yeah, yeah,

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight thousand Instagram followers. Yeah, okay, that's

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: called brand growth. That is definitely brand growth. Because I

41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: remember when I had one from a person who stopped

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: talking to me about social media. You know, you put

43
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: so much pressure on us in the office. I remember it.

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: It was Carly and I it was it was some

45
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: other people for trees. She put a lot of pressure

46
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: on us during that time for social Actually it was

47
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: it was great because I didn't really believe in I

48
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: launched it for your dad and I remember you ran

49
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: his social campaign, got it up like this really is

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: not It's not me. I don't want to do that.

51
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: And that's what this book is about. This. The book

52
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: is about you can do a lot of things good,

53
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: but that doesn't necessarily mean that's a long term that's

54
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: gonna make you happy. No, I'm going to fulfill your

55
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: dreams and more importantly than it may not be your calling. No,

56
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: tell us why you wrote the book, because that was

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: one of the main takeaways to that guy from the book.

58
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: You know why I wrote this book is because I

59
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: wanted to You know, I'm a teacher at my heart,

60
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: at my core, and I wanted to teach other women

61
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: how to break free in their lives, to have their

62
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: own breakthrough, to jump over the hurdle of being unstuck

63
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: of staying with the victims story that's kept you stuck

64
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: for so long. I wanted to help women break free

65
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: from the food bondage, you know, because so many of

66
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: us are stuck eating and drinking ourselves into like a

67
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: coma every single day, trying to suppress the emotions, and

68
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: so and then spiritually, I think so many black women

69
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: in particular have been you know, UM, really hurt by

70
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: the church, been hurt by religion, and so I wanted

71
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: to have this book offer up a piece for you

72
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: to find that inner spirit. Because when you find that

73
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: inner wheel, you know it you can move forward in

74
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: your life. Now, when you stay moved forward in your life,

75
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: what does that mean? Because it means a lot to

76
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: a lot of different people. I just wanted to find

77
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: the words that you're trying to emote from your book.

78
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,119
Speaker 1: You know. When I when I sat down to write

79
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: the book, you know, I started the book because I

80
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: was fired. And I opened the book telling the story

81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: of being fired from my dad's UM foundation. And so

82
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: now most people are like blown away, like how do

83
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: you get fired from your dad? And I was fired

84
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: and I knew that I was not living up to

85
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: my highest calling and potential I knew that there was

86
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: so much more that I wanted to do with my

87
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: life and be of service to other people. Um, and

88
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: I think that was a moment for me that I

89
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: had to get unstuck and move forward. Because some talk

90
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: about because I was there for and we had many

91
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: conversations in my office lunchtime because you you were really

92
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: conflicted about you know, divinity going in that direction to

93
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: theology school. Yeah, we had and I was looking at

94
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: really really because I hear this conversation and then and

95
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: then also the whole aspect of the prospect of running

96
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: the foundation. You know, we did the camps and downsividually

97
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. Those are things you were just good at.

98
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: That's how I just talking about. You were just talented.

99
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: It was a passion that you believed in, but that

100
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: wasn't your passion and so and so I always felt

101
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: that any advice I gave you really would have been

102
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: confusing because of the fact that even though you you

103
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: spoke these words all you're very articulate, you're very prominent

104
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: in your tone, doesn't mean that's what you wanted to do.

105
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: And so so when I when I hear the fact

106
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: that you know, you were terminated as the executive director

107
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: of the foundation. That doesn't shock because we had these conversations.

108
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: It's all alone. At certain times, I'm saying people get

109
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: fired or just waiting for you to do the do

110
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: your job. It's all you're doing, just waiting. But what

111
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: we don't want to do is get hear the words.

112
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: You know, we don't want to hear the word. But

113
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: way back when you knew what's coming and had all

114
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: the signs, were there, all the signs, this is not

115
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 1: worth frustration and complaining, motivation and begredgulingly doing your work.

116
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: You're planning other things during those people's times. You know,

117
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: you're using those people's cubicles in computers. Absolutely, And that's

118
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: that's why. That's why I thought that whole portion of

119
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: the idea of you opening the book talking about determination

120
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: part and there were some personal things that you talk about,

121
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: but believing that's happening every day in America. People are

122
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: going to work. Yeah, um, what you're doing over there,

123
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: uh long breaks, uh, tying up other employees time with

124
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: conversation and that means nothing to the company. And then

125
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: you they're going I want to I want to confront

126
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: the issue. That's what I loved about you here. You

127
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: are in the wrong, you know all the time, but

128
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: you're confronting issue. You tell me why I'm fired. Well

129
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: you kind of know, but yeah, and that's that. And

130
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: so I so I found a humorous because I know

131
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: people do this all the time, but not like you.

132
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: But not like you. You want to hear the words

133
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: come out. Yeah, And I think that's what so many

134
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: of us do. We don't understand that we've we've had

135
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: the moment of closure, right, but we need to know.

136
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: I need to hear it. I need you know, give

137
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: me what I'm looking for. Know the closures already happened.

138
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: And so many times we miss out on the things

139
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: that we're supposed to do with our lives because we're

140
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: waiting for someone to give us an answer to the why,

141
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: you know, when we should just move on. When here's

142
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: the funny part about it. When you eventually get the why,

143
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: then there's more conversation. It's it's come out of the conversation.

144
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: And so so that's why I was fascinated and I

145
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: thought your book, I feel is a must read. And

146
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a must read because I think I

147
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: see another version, because I feel that when you do

148
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: all these interviews like interviews with me, you see how

149
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: expansive it is as far as in the corporate world,

150
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: in the small business world, because we're dealing with employees

151
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: and we're dealing with poor decisions as we make as owners,

152
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: as supervisors, as management. Because of the fact that what

153
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: you did personally is what every employee is doing in America,

154
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: they denial about them being the real problem. The fact

155
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: and stuff. You could have resolved everybody's problem if you

156
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: just say I resigned. Absolutely, I didn't want to do that,

157
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: and don't We want to hold onto things when they're

158
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: no longer serving us, they no longer fit us, they

159
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: no longer are part of our space, but we want

160
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: to hold onto them because we are afraid. We're afraid

161
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: to get out of the boat of mediocrity and walk

162
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: on water. Okay, So how does the title come about?

163
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: And I love the Yeah. The reason I like that

164
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: because it feels impossible. Yeah, you know, and that's part

165
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, from from the Bible. Yeah, it was definitely

166
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: a spiritual undertone to it. Um. I came up with it,

167
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, I actually did this message um back at

168
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: a retreat in Arizona. I was speaking at a wellness retreat,

169
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: and I was trying to, you know, come like with

170
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: what the message was going to be, because I was

171
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: a closing keynote, and it really just I was headlining.

172
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: I am. I come from a line of headliners, you know,

173
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: and so I was I was trying to figure out

174
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: what I was going to talk about. And it was

175
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: so many things physically that we happened to me during

176
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: that time. But I remember just coming out of meditation

177
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: and I was quiet, and I started thinking about like

178
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: batteries being sold separately, right like when you the words

179
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: Christmas would be like for parents when you you buy

180
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: the gift and then there's no batteries included, and so

181
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: the toys just sitting there. But then I started thinking

182
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: about like how people come to retreats and conferences, and

183
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: they come to retreats and conferences and they think that

184
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: the breakthrough is going to be included. That I paid,

185
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: I pay for the ticket, I pay to get here,

186
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: and now that you're supposed to give me the breakthrough,

187
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: the breakthrough supposed to happen, but that's so separate, that's

188
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: not included. And so in order to get the breakthrough

189
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: in your life, you're going to have to test your faith.

190
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: And the faith being tested. Idea symbolize it to Jesus

191
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: walking on water. But Jesus wasn't the only one that

192
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: walked on water. Peter walked on water because he trusted

193
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: enough to get out of the boat. He got the

194
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: invitation and he got out of the boat to walk

195
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: on water. He faltered when his faith faltered, right, And

196
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: so the faith, you know, is really what I speak

197
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: to in this book, is because in order to get

198
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: through any mountain, walk on any water you're going to have,

199
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: your faith is going to have to be tested. And

200
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: it's not tested when it's easy, right. When it gets

201
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: tested when you get fired, it gets tested. It when

202
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: you don't have the money. It gets tested when you

203
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: don't feel at your best. That's when the faith is tested.

204
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: And so that's the opportunity for us. But not only

205
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: is it tested, but you actually honestly look at yourself

206
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: what you want to do. Because in life I look

207
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: at so many people that I I attempt to mentor

208
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: that's why I started by making conversations as a mental process.

209
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: So many people of years that I bring on the show.

210
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: I didn't realize how much of an impact that I

211
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: had on them to sitting around having these conversations like

212
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: we've had many times. Carley's head. It was one of

213
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: my favorite people, and we want to talk about that.

214
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: I know the next break, I want to talk about

215
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: the twin concept because of the fact that you know,

216
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,239
Speaker 1: this really is a book about you and that separation.

217
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: I think it's important for you because when we initially met,

218
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: you guys were really joined that they have but then

219
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: I and then and then but I knew that Carli

220
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: kind of found herself faster than you. And I always

221
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: felt that you will either not happy with yourself or

222
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: you just wanted somebody to point you in the right

223
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: direction because that may have been easier, and you didn't

224
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: want to do the work to get there. And now

225
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: you've done the work and it just shows just just

226
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: when you walk in the door, the confidence, you know,

227
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: but I know there's behind those eyes, there's happiness, and

228
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: that's important. Now I'm talking to Brandy Harvey, uh, my

252
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna tell you some about her. Is that the funny

253
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: part about that, that that that amazing determination to get

254
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: to the bottom of it, you know, affects so many

255
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: things you're like, in fact, your relationships. It affects how

256
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: people approach you. Even when I was reading the book,

257
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: when that young lady came in and you ear hustled

258
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: her and recommended her at the at the at the

259
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: spot at the veganing, I was getting a solid and smoothie. Okay,

260
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: just set the story up, okay, and then I'm gonna

261
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: just add this part to it. Tell everybody what I'm

262
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: talking about. So in the book, I'm talking about I'm

263
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: sitting at this you know, local spot here in Atlanta,

264
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: and I am I am. I kind of overhear a

265
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: girl on the phone. She's she's overweight over here on

266
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: the phone talking about, you know, her weight loss and everything.

267
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: So when she got off the phone, I was like, hey,

268
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: how are you today, and I kind of, you know,

269
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: she started, you have some weight issues. I inserted myself.

270
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: I did, he has the weight issues. I know the

271
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: place that you can go to your issues effects fitness,

272
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: And she said, well, she didn't explode. She was very exceptive,

273
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: very nice. But I wouldn't expect that because I know

274
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: you know how to approach people. That's your gifts. Communication,

275
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: that smile, that smile would kill anybody wanted to go,

276
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: you go, what's the problem? And so so. But these

277
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: are the stories that are in the book that you

278
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: that you are started to tell your story, and so

279
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: for for all these years. You know, when when I

280
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: when I talked about the two thus two thousand and seven,

281
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: when I saw you physically make the transformation to fitness,

282
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm telling I remember when she came into the studio

283
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: and I looked at Steve Harving that way, Is that

284
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: that that's Brandon? He said, Yes, she's training for some

285
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: fitness thing, but she's scaring me because she's losing so

286
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: much weight. And you know, I guess I heard the

287
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: stories of love, of what he had for you and

288
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: all the time all that's too both of you guys,

289
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: I heard and and and they were really important, And

290
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: you guys were always really important to him in his

291
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: personal life. You know. That was that was our driving

292
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: force when we we got together as partners in two thousands,

293
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: was how can we change just changed the lives of

294
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: people around us? But also affect financial change so we

295
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: can make sure our children didn't have the lives that

296
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: we had growing up. But in the process we kind

297
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: of missed communicate that message because especially all children are different.

298
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: That's why I love the fact that you know you

299
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: and call it are different, Carl. It was accepting of

300
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: the process. You needed answers for the process. And one

301
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: of the dates that I talked earlier off are about

302
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: in eighteen one October nine nineteen one. October nineteen one

303
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: was an important date for me in my life because

304
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: I was struggling with myself. I didn't know what I

305
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: wanted to do. But I tell myself, I said, I

306
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: made the commitment to God. This alm gonna take advantage

307
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: of all the talents that God gave me, whether it

308
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: was acting, writing, being amc or stand up comic. I

309
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: was gonna put one effort into everything I I wasn't

310
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: gonna make any excuses. And then my life turn on.

311
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: That's gonna open to Comedy Club in nineteen two, and

312
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: then Steve Harvard played by Comedy Club, and then he

313
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: and I wound up being a writer on his TV

314
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: shows and the rest of his history. And I've always

315
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: worked one. You also have a date that you mentioned

316
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: in the book as well. Let's talk about that dating

317
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: wise it and why it is important to you. August thirds,

318
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: the seventeen was when I found out I was fired,

319
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: you know, and it didn't come in a way that

320
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to come. You know. It

321
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: was kind of like a company wide email that we

322
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: would like to welcome the new And you're like, oh,

323
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: that's but the beautiful part of that is two years

324
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: to the day, two years to the day I sent

325
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: this book off to the publisher. And so I think

326
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: that that's just a testament of my own faith, of

327
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: my own ability to walk on water. But I think

328
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: it's just you know, surrendering to the process. You know

329
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: that I had to surrender to the process. That nothing

330
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: was going to be simple and easy, but I was

331
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 1: going to have, you know, the tools to do it right.

332
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: And I want to point out a couple of things

333
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: that I thought was significant in the book. I want

334
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: to read a couple of things here. Uh it's called

335
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: the cost of emotional Dishonestly, this is what I read.

336
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: When you get those designer shoes or that Tesla or Porsche,

337
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: you'd be happy when you lose weight and fit those

338
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: god those gold jens that those genesus just said go for,

339
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: they were too small when you bought them. You'll be

340
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: happy when you buy a house and the right zip code.

341
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: You'll be happy when you get with the right man, land,

342
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: the right job, or party harder than anybody else in

343
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: the room. You'll be happy. This pursuit of false image

344
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: of happiness, that's what you're saying. That's why do you

345
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: say that, you know, I think because I was chasing

346
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: those things. I was chasing the party, I was chasing

347
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: the material success. And it's still when you got those things,

348
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: I still felt empty. I still felt like there was

349
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: something missing in my life. And until I went to

350
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: really uncover and dig up all of the past traumas

351
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: and hurts that it really, you know, impacted my life.

352
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: Because often we think, especially as women of color, we

353
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: think that, well, it's not a big trauma that happened

354
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,239
Speaker 1: to me, you know, no one died or you know,

355
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: but they are little traumas, you know, when you get

356
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: abandoned by people and people walk out on you, or

357
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: when you've been rejected, or when you've been told certain things,

358
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: any stories, they deeply affect you and then they cause

359
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: you to make other decisions. And so I was showing

360
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: up very emotionally dishonest in my life and my relationships.

361
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: You know, I was not setting boundaries. I was leaving

362
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: myself very open and susceptible to you know, to the

363
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: prey of men. Let's talk about it. I'm talking to

364
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: Brandy Harvey. Her book Breakthrough So Separately number one Amazon

365
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: when it hit the stands. UM therapy, Yeah, I guess

366
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: that's that's a word that in the black community or

367
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: the community of color, is a word that's finally starting

368
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: to become a word that's okay, okay, it's not it's

369
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: not tied to people who are some word got issues

370
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: straight jackets right right. So, and that's something that you

371
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: talk about in the book. Yea, let's discuss why do

372
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: you think that it's a fear or is it a

373
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: weakness within the black when you start talking about therapy.

374
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: I think we've been very um. We religion has played

375
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: such a major part in our lives and spirit you know,

376
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: people of color, spirituality is very very keen in our

377
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: in our in our experience. UM. But some sometimes we

378
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: think that UM going to therapy lessons our relationship with God.

379
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: We think that going to therapy is saying that we

380
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: don't we're not giving God power, you know, we're giving manpower. Um.

381
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: But I think what therapy does it is it gives

382
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: us an opportunity to tackle like it and and you know,

383
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: kind of going to all the beautiful things that God

384
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: has provided for us as a source, as a resource.

385
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: You know, we get scared of it because we're afraid

386
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: of what we might uncover when we get on that couch.

387
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: We're afraid to face some of the things that we've

388
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: been told to just get over, you know. And I

389
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: was told for such a long time, just get over it,

390
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: you know, just get over it. I mean, while you steal,

391
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: just get over it. But if I knew how to

392
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: get over it, I probably would have done it already, absolutely,

393
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: And I didn't have the tools to get over it.

394
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: And so therapy. Um. I love the fact that now

395
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: we're really starting to engage in these conversations around mental

396
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: health and our emotional health because I had to start

397
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: showing up for myself and I stopped listening to what

398
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: the naysayer said. And you don't need therapy, and girl,

399
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: just pray about it. Absolutely. I was praying. I promise

400
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 1: I saw you, I saw you. See. That's that's the okay,

401
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: Like I told you, this book is like you're gonna

402
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: come back. You have four books in here. I know.

403
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: The first book about you being fired is a corporate book.

404
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: All should be written, it should be expanded because because

405
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: the fact you you dealt with sohen you you oversee people,

406
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: you made the mistakes as a manager, supervisor, all that

407
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: should be written in here. Now this book about what

408
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: we just talked about right now, therapy, that's a totally

409
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: different book as well. Okay, what you know about which

410
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: we should be expanded on that. The next book eating right, Yeah,

411
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: it's all connected. You know. I I say who because

412
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: she talks about you know, you gotta have that fiber, Yeah,

413
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: your fruits and vegetables. Yes, that's what I'm saying. This

414
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: This book was so it was so fascinating to me

415
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: about because I'm a bad eater, you know, and I

416
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: know I know this. I know this to be true.

417
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: This is a true statement this man is making right

418
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: now and so so reading this book, going okay, she

419
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: starts with dessert. Dessert, when you first when you go

420
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: out with him, and then and then you go into um.

421
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: I guess the whole religious as your faith prospect of spirituality.

422
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: But you talk about women in church, plus your black

423
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: women in church, how we should be perceived are being

424
00:22:54,160 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: perceived still it's still a male dominated approach. I to

425
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: find a brother universe because your mom told you the

426
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: story in the book where I was speaking at a

427
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: church in Alabama. I was speaking at a church, um

428
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: and this was in the Deep South, you know, of Alabama.

429
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: I was on a palm Sunday. So of course this

430
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: is like for people who are in the Christian faith,

431
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: Palm Sunday is like the that's like one of them Sundays.

432
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: You know, you're gonna get your palms, You're gonna make

433
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: a cross out of it. It's gonna be in your

434
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: Bible for three years, you know. So I knew that

435
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: this was a big deal, you know. But it was

436
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: like the playoffs of church. You know, I'm in the

437
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: playoffs and you too. I was going to be in

438
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: the pool. I was a word. I was. I had

439
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: worked on this message for like two weeks. I was

440
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: so ready float over the steps, and I was gonna

441
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: be Your mom told you what and my mom said,

442
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: I think you should understand that they probably won't allow

443
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 1: you to speak in the poolpit because you're a woman. Know,

444
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: I'm Brandy Harvey. I said, no, I'm Brandy Harvey. I said,

445
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: I definitely don't think that that would be the case.

446
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: Out and I get to the church and they were like, yeah,

447
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: a little show you or you'll be speaking from the floor.

448
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: And I spoke from and I mean literally my face drop,

449
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: you know, because I had to pick my face up

450
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: because Amigo was crushed all those things. But I delivered

451
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: the message. But in that delivering the message, you know,

452
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: I was like, really like, I'm not worthy enough to

453
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: stand up here with the with the message because I'm like,

454
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: it was just so many things that you know, I

455
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 1: think have have really hurt us. But I think it's also,

456
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't look at this book as being

457
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,239
Speaker 1: a religious book. I think this book it definitely is

458
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 1: very much on the lines of discovering the power within you,

459
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,840
