39
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: first of all, my birthday was on February eighth, and

40
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: I want to say thank you all to everyone that

41
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: wished me a happy birthday. Um, I was able to

42
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: celebrate my birthday with my nearest and Daris, and I

43
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: just have so much gratitude in my heart. I'm really thankful.

44
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna line. At first, I was a little

45
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: sad I come travel some world forever for real, But honestly,

46
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm just thankful that I am still here, even you know, um,

47
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: sometimes we get so caught up in destination happens that

48
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: we failed to realize the beauty of just being. Next up,

49
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: March first marks the five year anniversary of my Nanna's transition,

50
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: and for the first time in a long, long time, child,

51
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good, Like I feel okay. Uh. So

52
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: many good memories just been coming back to me, things

53
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: that I forgot, conversations that I had, and I feel

54
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: like that's her way of reminding me to keep my happiness.

55
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: So as I know, everything I do, whether it's personal

56
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: or PhD related, is because of her. So it feels

57
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: good to know that no matter what, there's always a

58
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: piece of her with me. However, if I'm going to

59
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: be transparent, there were a couple of times when I

60
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: have moments where I was just so emotional and I

61
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: think I literally cried for like a week, like dead ass,

62
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking I'm crying because of situation is not

63
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: going away that I wanted to go, but obviously it

64
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: was not something a little bit more deeper, and it

65
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: took me a all to figure out what was going

66
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: on with me. But I finally had an AHA moment.

67
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: And I think I shared this in my story on

68
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: my on the podcast. But there were and sometimes are

69
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: times where I just really feel like I'm just so

70
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: alone and I feel like I'm by myself. And I

71
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: didn't start feeling like this until my Nana transition. And

72
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: even though I came along way with this feeling, every

73
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: now and then this bitch pops up child. So one

74
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: of the suns that I noticed when she comes around

75
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: is that I want everyone and everything else to make

76
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: me happy instead of making myself happy. And I had

77
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: to realize that in life, and this is something I

78
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: keep telling myself over and over again, is you only

79
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: get one you. So if I only get one of

80
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: me and I can't show up for myself, how can

81
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: I expect others to show up for me? So with

82
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: that being said, I begin dating myself. I had to

83
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: begin doing the things that really makes me happy. Um,

84
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: I've been taking pole that's a classes, honey. So if

85
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: this pac doesn't work, baby, I got a little side

86
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: hustle because the kids getting nice with Okay, um, it

87
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: just don't like really ship for myself. The only things

88
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: to make me happy like getting back into reading. I

89
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: used to read a book every week and I've been

90
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: slacking on that. But I just got through reading um

91
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: Be Relations and that was a really good book. Um.

92
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,680

97
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: into something bigger and better. Okay, but anyhoy, but just

98
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: do't really doing things that really make yourself happy. And

99
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: you know some things that may have spent too much

100
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: coins on but fuck it right if not you didn't

101
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: who Okay? But on the real I love yourself as

102
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: much as you can because you only get one you,

103
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: and that is on Mary had a little lamb child.

104
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: Now as far as pH G y'all know, this is

105
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: my baby. Um. We are in your two and I

106
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: sometimes can't believe everything I accomplished by myself heavy on myself, child,

107
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: And you know this ship is no easy feat. A

108
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: lot of people don't understand the amount of discipline that

109
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: is needed and creating content, working a nine to five,

110
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: having a family, going to school, dealing with yourself, dealing

111
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: with these niggas, I mean, just juggling and balancing as

112
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: hard as fuck, especially when you are a one woman's show. Okay,

113
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: So if you funk with a content creator or just

114
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur, support them, heavy on the support, like dead

115
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: as like by the merch share their content on social media,

116
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: Like I don't understand why it feels like you gotta

117
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: pull teeth for people to share your content, especially when

118
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: you know your content is good. Like if the content

119
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: is trash, all right, I get it, But like, what

120
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: harm is it for you to share your share somebody

121
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: else content on your social media story platform? Like it

122
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: can't be that difficult, Like tell a friend, like just support,

123
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: Like I don't even think people understand what a little

124
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: support means to people that create day m and day out.

125
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: Like I can't even tell you how many times I

126
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: want to give up, But because of the love and

127
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: support I receive you from y'all, it really you just

00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: and they really love it. But some people are doing
