Speaker 1: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. You are tuned into
Speaker 1: the Vitamin D podcast and I am your host, Dawn Day.
Speaker 1: On this episode, we're switching it up a bit today.
Speaker 1: I'm digging in the email back from listeners just like
Speaker 1: you who need advice on passion, purpose, career, love, you
Speaker 1: name it. So if you need advice on any of
Speaker 1: these or more, I want you to go ahead and
Speaker 1: submit your Vitamin D advice letters to Vitamin D at
Speaker 1: dawn day speaks dot com. You know, we all have
Speaker 1: questions and I need advice of the direction that we're
Speaker 1: going into. If there's any way I can shed light
Speaker 1: into your life of what's going on, I want to
Speaker 1: hear from you. So now let's dive in and see
Speaker 1: what y'all got to say. Get your viamin D right
Speaker 1: with me, and get excited about your lives subject career
Speaker 1: advancement or possibility of love. Dear Dawn, I'm a thirty
Speaker 1: two year old man who hasn't been in a committed
Speaker 1: relationship in a decade, not for looks, just for lack
Speaker 1: of ability to put up with the normal dating riggam
Speaker 1: role until I met her a few months ago, and
Speaker 1: I've been falling madly for her since I've also been
Speaker 1: in sales for the past ten years and have been
Speaker 1: wildly unsuccessful in my career goals as well, until today
Speaker 1: when my boss offered me a management position with about
Speaker 1: a thirty percent pay increase one thousand miles away. So
Speaker 1: I find myself at a crossroads of love and success,
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering if you've got some advice or experience
Speaker 1: in that area. Well, I'll say this, thirty two. You
Speaker 1: know that is a transformational age when you do find love,
Speaker 1: and it is a time to think about the trajectory
Speaker 1: of your love life as well as your career. But
Speaker 1: I'm a firm believer and uh, what's yours will come
Speaker 1: back to you. And I don't think there's a situation
Speaker 1: of your saying no to an opportunity. And let's think
Speaker 1: about it. You have been at your career for the
Speaker 1: past ten years in the same way as you haven't
Speaker 1: dated in ten years. They say that your love as
Speaker 1: well as your career are both on an upper spiral
Speaker 1: at the same time, because where you find your passion,
Speaker 1: you find your purpose. And when your purpose and your
Speaker 1: passion reside, you'll see that love compliments that. So I say,
Speaker 1: go ahead and move with purpose, and definitely have an
Speaker 1: open conversation because who knows, it may work out that
Speaker 1: she may actually want to come with you. But you'll
Speaker 1: know when it's right and you don't have to force things,
Speaker 1: and you'll know that you don't have to sacrifice things.
Speaker 1: And when you think about love, and when you think
Speaker 1: about living your best life, when you think about career,
Speaker 1: remember all of this is supposed to work for your
Speaker 1: greater good. So having to choose right now, I think
Speaker 1: it's early. Think about it. You only met her a
Speaker 1: few months ago. I'm not saying to disregard it, but
Speaker 1: don't necessarily change the whole trajectory of your life, because again,
Speaker 1: if it's going to work out, she will be there.
Speaker 1: You know, we have a lot of things going on
Speaker 1: now with long distance relationships. Is this something that's budding
Speaker 1: that you can see? So I'll say this, stick to
Speaker 1: your path. You've waited to increase the thirty increase a
Speaker 1: thousands away. What's in a flight you pay for her
Speaker 1: to come visit, go out there and visit her. Heck,
Speaker 1: she may get a transition of a job to where
Speaker 1: you are. Follow your purpose, follow your passion, love will
Speaker 1: find you. Okay, that's what I got to say, all right,
Speaker 1: So let's go on to the next letter subject, should
Speaker 1: I start an only fans account? Dear John, twenty year
Speaker 1: old female here, So Corona has absolutely ruined my income,
Speaker 1: as well as a few other personal things. I've tried
Speaker 1: selling clothes and getting in a job, but it's not working.
Speaker 1: I've wanted to start an only fans account for a while,
Speaker 1: and now I'm seriously getting close to doing so. Would
Speaker 1: it hurt my future career if I didn't show my
Speaker 1: face and use the fake name. I have broader aspirations
Speaker 1: to be a professional singer or dancer what my training
Speaker 1: and education is in so I'm wondering that I'll have
Speaker 1: a hard time getting mainstream work if it ever gets out.
Speaker 1: But also I kind of need the money. Thanks so much, well,
Speaker 1: dear twenty eight year old female, The decision is yours
Speaker 1: whether or not you want to create an only fans account. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the rumor is true, but I
Speaker 1: heard that Cardi b established her only fans account, not
Speaker 1: to mention that she is a mainstream artist and singer
Speaker 1: who is a well known stripper. Now I'm not here
Speaker 1: to knock anyone's hustle. Now, me personally, in the career
Speaker 1: that I am in, that's not something that I would do.
Speaker 1: But you have to do what works for you, and
Speaker 1: you have to use your skills and to better yourself.
Speaker 1: So if it's a matter of deciding how you're going
Speaker 1: to eat, figure that out. But if it's going to
Speaker 1: hander what you want to do with your life, that's
Speaker 1: what you have to consider. So what is your brand?
Speaker 1: Who are you? If your brand coincides with the fact,
Speaker 1: if you're having a phoney fans account, do it. I
Speaker 1: know myself and growing up, my brand has always been
Speaker 1: something that I've helped to curate. But I also know
Speaker 1: that it's not authenticity and the transparency and if that's
Speaker 1: your story that's going to go into your music. You
Speaker 1: need these things now. When you come to a point
Speaker 1: where you feel like you are sacrificing your morality of
Speaker 1: who you are, that's when it's off the table, and
Speaker 1: that's when it's off limits. But walking your truth. If
Speaker 1: you choose to get on only fans to get your money,
Speaker 1: get your money yet, but used it strategically. Now, if
Speaker 1: your thought process is that if I cut off my head.
Speaker 1: They won't know who I am if I changed my name,
Speaker 1: you cannot bank on that. Don't do anything that you
Speaker 1: would you want your face or your name attached to.
Speaker 1: And that's also you going and living in your truth.
Speaker 1: This is only a moment in season. But again, if
Speaker 1: you have it where you are compromising your morals, your
Speaker 1: values and who you are, don't do it. If not, honey,
Speaker 1: get your money. All right, let's go to this next letter,
Speaker 1: Subject seven waitress, bachelor and psychology. No motivation going nowhere
Speaker 1: there Dawn, Hello, I'm not sure what to write. I
Speaker 1: will make it as short as I possibly can. I'm
Speaker 1: a twenty seven year old female. Four years ago, my
Speaker 1: life used to be perfect. I was driven, motivated, ambitious,
Speaker 1: and determined. At the time, I could say I was
Speaker 1: the happiest I had ever been. Going to school was
Speaker 1: really my passion. I worked as a whole assistance, slowly
Speaker 1: moved up to being a waitress. I worked and went
Speaker 1: to school. During this time, I met a young man
Speaker 1: who would soon later become my boyfriend, and it was
Speaker 1: the worst four years of my life. The relationship was
Speaker 1: very abusive, very toxic, mentally draining. It destroyed me inside.
Speaker 1: And out. I stopped doing everything I loved. I managed
Speaker 1: to push myself to graduate just so I can finish,
Speaker 1: and I reached a point where I wasn't intending any
Speaker 1: of my classes. I just didn't care anymore. I ended
Speaker 1: up leaving the relationship six months ago for good, and
Speaker 1: I don't plan on going back. I feel I'm going
Speaker 1: on a stupid brand that doesn't make sense. I feel lost,
Speaker 1: I feel hopeless and unmotivated. It's killing me inside. I
Speaker 1: wasted so much time and so much of my youth.
Speaker 1: I feel old, and I feel with not being in school,
Speaker 1: I have gotten dumber, or maybe it's just in my head.
Speaker 1: I graduated with a bachelor in psychology, and I would
Speaker 1: like to do something with it, maybe start working somewhere
Speaker 1: that goes hand in hand with my field, also go
Speaker 1: back to school. However, I'm a negative person, especially now,
Speaker 1: and I have no experience as a graduate student, and
Speaker 1: I feel no one is going to accept me, not
Speaker 1: even schools. I feel left up about all my opportunities
Speaker 1: for a stupid relationship with a person I'm not with anymore.
Speaker 1: Just need some advice, some guidance, something, some help. Please.
Speaker 1: I'm desperate. I'm tired of letting my past define me.
Speaker 1: But I need something. I used to go to a therapist,
Speaker 1: but it started getting expensive, and I tried talking to
Speaker 1: support of friends and family, but it goes nowhere. I'm
Speaker 1: complacent and stuck. I'm tired of being a child. I
Speaker 1: want to be an adult and self improved. I want
Speaker 1: to have my life back together, at least somewhat different.
Speaker 1: I've been working in the restaurant industry for four plus
Speaker 1: years and it's stressful and not worth the money. I
Speaker 1: want to do something where I can help people. Any thoughts, well,
Speaker 1: twenty seven year old waitress. I get it that you
Speaker 1: want to help other people, but after reading this letter,
Speaker 1: it sounds like the person you need to help yourself.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. I'm not gonna knock you. You
Speaker 1: did take the first step. The fact that you're reaching
Speaker 1: out and you're asking for advice is the first step
Speaker 1: to you getting the health that you need because you're
Speaker 1: admitting that there is something that's not right. Now. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing we get in relationships, and I think sometimes
Speaker 1: if we don't already know who we are, we can
Speaker 1: lose ourselves. And sometimes when you are with a partner
Speaker 1: that compliments you you find that you find yourself together
Speaker 1: and you build and you grow. So while this relationship
Speaker 1: did take you off a deterrence, you gotta understand that
Speaker 1: you've got something from it. You got to understand what
Speaker 1: it is that you don't want. But now that you
Speaker 1: realize what you don't want, now it's time to step
Speaker 1: in the realm of possibility what you do want. You're
Speaker 1: a smart girl. You've proven that going through graduate school
Speaker 1: that you have the motivation to get something started. But
Speaker 1: now I need you to transfer the into the inspiration
Speaker 1: to start what you finished. You study psychology, so that
Speaker 1: goes on with thinking in the mindset. I need for
Speaker 1: you to sit down and do the work with yourself.
Speaker 1: You can say that the therapy was too expensive, but
Speaker 1: you said you're working to being an adult and you're
Speaker 1: ready to step in that light. So it's time for
Speaker 1: you to put your big pantings on and make the
Speaker 1: investment of changing your life. Just like you make the
Speaker 1: investment and listen to the Vitamin D podcast. You need
Speaker 1: to outsource, whether that's busting a few more tables so
Speaker 1: that you can be financially equipped to do what your
Speaker 1: purpose is. Because I find a lot of times that
Speaker 1: we're in a room and we don't understand that the
Speaker 1: lights are off. But wait a minute, what happens when
Speaker 1: you're in the room and you know the lights are
Speaker 1: on and yet the door is still locked. You're in
Speaker 1: a room right now, the lights are on and the
Speaker 1: door is locked, and the way to get to the
Speaker 1: keys to get the help that you need to unlock
Speaker 1: your potential. Did you catch what I said? The way
Speaker 1: to get out of the room is to grab the
Speaker 1: key to unlock the potential that's already in there. So
Speaker 1: my advice would be for you as go back to
Speaker 1: the therapy and get what you need. You need to
Speaker 1: understand what got you attracted this kind of man, because
Speaker 1: it could be very well that block that's for fitting
Speaker 1: you from excelling in your graduate career and your aspirations.
Speaker 1: Understand that how we do anything, it's how we do everything.
Speaker 1: So if you look at a situation and how you're
Speaker 1: proproaching something that's constantly an obstacle, whether it's going to
Speaker 1: be in your career, whether it's going to be in
Speaker 1: your love life, whether it's going to be in just
Speaker 1: everyday life, you will find something that will get in
Speaker 1: the way and start reintroducing that toxic mentality that starts
Speaker 1: to drain in your life that you receive from this relationship. Now, listen,
Speaker 1: I believe in you. While you had the worst four
Speaker 1: years of your life, you got an experience that you
Speaker 1: can never go back to. Okay, I want you to
Speaker 1: be the best. So being the best is investing in
Speaker 1: your life. The best investment that you can make right
Speaker 1: now is going to see a therapist because it's not
Speaker 1: meant for you to figure it out on your own.
Speaker 1: It's not meant for you to have all things together,
Speaker 1: but it's meant for you to place peace by peace
Speaker 1: so that you can be who again. Okay, get out
Speaker 1: there and live your best life. You're not a child,
Speaker 1: you're an adult. It's time to self improve. But you
Speaker 1: gotta put into work. All right, n let's go onto
Speaker 1: this next letter subject, Should I give up my big
Speaker 1: ambitions in life? Dear Dawn ninety email from the Netherlands
Speaker 1: From a kid and onwards. I have always wanted to
Speaker 1: be rich and influential in the world to achieve big things.
Speaker 1: Always had this thought because I sometimes felt pretty smart
Speaker 1: compared to other kids, and thus that I could achieve
Speaker 1: big things. Then in high school, I still thought I
Speaker 1: was smart, but didn't put into much work, which got
Speaker 1: me medium and sort of high grades when I was
Speaker 1: lucky or really interested in Still, I had the feeling
Speaker 1: that if I worked hard enough in the end, i'd
Speaker 1: achieve stuff. At the time, I also listened to a
Speaker 1: lot of motivational stuff. This didn't help. I applied to
Speaker 1: a good private university in the US, but looking back,
Speaker 1: I simply hadn't done enough for a chance to be
Speaker 1: able to get in there. Still got into a good
Speaker 1: university in my own country, not really my ideal placement though.
Speaker 1: So now I've been in college for a year and
Speaker 1: I enjoyed here very much and the people around me,
Speaker 1: but I still feel like I'm so much less than
Speaker 1: I could be. Of course, the dream is becoming some
Speaker 1: super young tech CEO, but that's almost impossible. The odds
Speaker 1: are so against me, and I really don't stand out
Speaker 1: in my coding or business classes. So I've been thinking
Speaker 1: lately if I should just decide to give up that
Speaker 1: thought of having to achieve great stuff in the tech field.
Speaker 1: Should I instead settle for more mediocre life. The problem
Speaker 1: is is that when I think about it, I seem
Speaker 1: to really think I'm better than that kind of life.
Speaker 1: I just never put enough work, and to be fair,
Speaker 1: I never have. I have never actually showed that to myself.
Speaker 1: And I like parties, I like socializing, et cetera. And
Speaker 1: I see that takes me farther from where I feel
Speaker 1: my capability could lead me. I've always placed some value
Speaker 1: on my knowledge, and if that's not an area in
Speaker 1: my life where I shine, I don't really have anything else.
Speaker 1: So now I'm thinking about if I should just stop
Speaker 1: trying and try to accept the mediocrity, or that I
Speaker 1: can somehow for the first time in my life get
Speaker 1: my ish together at my bay too hard on my solf?
Speaker 1: Is it okay to be normal when you feel deep
Speaker 1: down that you're destined for greatness? How do I get
Speaker 1: myself to stop messing around? Am I not too young
Speaker 1: to be worrying about this? Any help or thoughts you
Speaker 1: could provide would be appreciated. Child nineteen mail from Netherlands.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll say first and foremost before we delve
Speaker 1: in anything. It is something to be said when you
Speaker 1: know you have greatness on your life. When you said that,
Speaker 1: you know that there is greatness on your life are
Speaker 1: greater for you and how you want to step into greatness.
Speaker 1: You have an obligation to fulfill that because you'll find
Speaker 1: that if you try to do anything else, then you're
Speaker 1: tapping into your greatest potential. You're setting yourself up for
Speaker 1: a life of misery. And even just listening to the
Speaker 1: brand of the Vitamin dep podcast, and what we're all
Speaker 1: about here is that you have to live your best life.
Speaker 1: And when you have greater on your life because and
Speaker 1: you know this, because it came to you and you
Speaker 1: know there's more, you have to step up and fulfill it.
Speaker 1: It's interesting when it's not a question of whether or
Speaker 1: not you have the capability. It all matters is if
Speaker 1: you're ready to apply it. So the fact that your
Speaker 1: knowledge is your your strong suit. You gotta make a decision.
Speaker 1: You know, people always say, well, how do you become
Speaker 1: successful or how do you do whatever you want to do?
Speaker 1: And how how do you be the best you can be?
Speaker 1: It starts with a choice. See, there's not a question
Speaker 1: of whether or not you get greatness inside of you.
Speaker 1: The question is is whether you're ready to ignite it,
Speaker 1: and that means it's gonna come with discipline, yes, there's parties.
Speaker 1: There will always be parties. But when when you step
Speaker 1: in the moment of now, it sounds like your time
Speaker 1: is now to go into that tech field. You just
Speaker 1: said that you didn't put your all into it. And
Speaker 1: when you're interested, well, guess what, You're not gonna be
Speaker 1: interested in every thing that comes your way. But if
Speaker 1: you want results, you gotta put in the work. Dreams
Speaker 1: don't work unless you do so. The idea of even
Speaker 1: entertaining the possibility of giving up is not an option.
Speaker 1: When you are an avid listener of the Vitamin D
Speaker 1: podcast and when you talk about living your best life,
Speaker 1: you know how many people would love to just have
Speaker 1: a natural knack at coding, or you know, just to
Speaker 1: be in the business classes. But you do. It's something
Speaker 1: that is innately in yours soul. Please follow your passion
Speaker 1: and just put the discipline in the work in. You know,
Speaker 1: if I hadn't put in the discipline of work, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be talking to you in the Vitamin D podcast.
Speaker 1: You know how many times I had to stay up
Speaker 1: late at night when I couldn't go out when I
Speaker 1: wanted to help with friends because I made a choice
Speaker 1: that I have to do this so when it comes
Speaker 1: down to your success and achieving the big things that
Speaker 1: you want out of life, you gotta make the choice.
Speaker 1: You don't always have to be the smartest person in
Speaker 1: the room. You just gotta be the person that knows
Speaker 1: how to ask the questions so you're doing. The first
Speaker 1: step is figure out should you give up and live
Speaker 1: a mediocre life? No, you were not meant to be mediocre.
Speaker 1: You are extraordinary. There's greatness inside of you and it's
Speaker 1: destined for that, So stop messing around. And no, you're
Speaker 1: not too young to be thinking about the outcome of
Speaker 1: your life. You are in college. Not was the decision
Speaker 1: or not was the opportunity to explore other things, to
Speaker 1: figure out what you want and to take it seriously,
Speaker 1: to start putting one ft in the front of the
Speaker 1: other and decide what you want out of life. Because
Speaker 1: guess what, you can have whatever you want. You have
Speaker 1: enough time to make a decision. You have enough flexibility
Speaker 1: to move now. I don't know if you step into
Speaker 1: the realm, if you have children, you're in a relationship,
Speaker 1: But if you don't exercise your freedom and flexibility and
Speaker 1: move and bend and stretch, what you need to do
Speaker 1: so that you can make your dreams a reality. Giving
Speaker 1: it up is not an option right here. Being mediocre
Speaker 1: is not an option. Here we said, not an okay life,
Speaker 1: We set the best life. Go out there and tighten
Speaker 1: your bootstraps, get into the classes that you want, stop
Speaker 1: going to all these parties, and be the best that
Speaker 1: you can be. I appreciate you are listening from across
Speaker 1: the world. Thank you very much. Hard Let's see what
Speaker 1: we got up next? Subject? How do I overcome self loathing? Subject?
Speaker 1: How do I overcome self a loathing? Dear Dahn, I'm
Speaker 1: a thirty six year old man living in a major
Speaker 1: city in the US, and I've been shy for as
Speaker 1: long as I can remember. I'm also tired of it.
Speaker 1: I never really talked much to people. I'm lucky that
Speaker 1: my job never involves much face to face interaction, but
Speaker 1: I want to gain courage to talk to women, to
Speaker 1: stop being so unconfident. I want to experience life and
Speaker 1: feel emotions more. Whenever I say hi to some stranger,
Speaker 1: it always sounds making low. I want to sound confident
Speaker 1: and loud. Okay, thirty six year old man living a
Speaker 1: major city. Well, I appreciate you reach it out, and
Speaker 1: what kind of advice do you give someone that wants
Speaker 1: to be more confident to keep doing it? Just like
Speaker 1: with anything, you know, if you have to first start
Speaker 1: off just look in the mirror and speaking to yourself.
Speaker 1: You gotta look at yourself and say, I'm handsome, I'm great,
Speaker 1: let's have an amazing day, because that's the only thing.
Speaker 1: It's not about whether or not you know you got it,
Speaker 1: or whether or not you're interested in. Sometimes you gotta
Speaker 1: get used to saying things. You know. I read this
Speaker 1: book one time a few years ago, and it's called
Speaker 1: do You, and it talks about how your ear is
Speaker 1: like an embryo and what you feed in your ear
Speaker 1: starts to grow. Sometimes you gotta do some self talk.
Speaker 1: You know. I have a tattoo in my mouth that
Speaker 1: says life. Because I speak life. I encourage your young
Speaker 1: man to start speaking life in yourself because you've gotten
Speaker 1: to the point where you're sick and tired of being
Speaker 1: sick and tired, and you're gonna get to a point,
Speaker 1: especially nowaday and age, you have to have that reinteraction
Speaker 1: and if you want a relationship, that means you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to communicy. He but I need you to communicate
Speaker 1: with yourself first, and you know, you know that it's there,
Speaker 1: because you're at a point right now that you're not
Speaker 1: sure whether or not you are able to speak up
Speaker 1: for yourself. And you know what I love about all
Speaker 1: of this is that you recognize it. You can hear
Speaker 1: it in yourself. Oftentimes I see that sometimes we have
Speaker 1: different things that we want to work on and we're
Speaker 1: ashamed of it and we don't know how. The first
Speaker 1: step is identifying and you've done that. Each day you
Speaker 1: wake up, Tell yourself that you you're the baddest brother
Speaker 1: around town. Tell yourself that you're amazing. And if you
Speaker 1: need to un list some of your friends and start
Speaker 1: working up on your pickup lines, go to a bar
Speaker 1: to yourself. Just compliment a woman on her shoes or hair.
Speaker 1: Women love to hear compliments all the time, and if
Speaker 1: you can give that, that will come back to you.
Speaker 1: So keep stepping on the forefront. You're lucky right now
Speaker 1: that everything is shut down with COVID, so you don't
Speaker 1: have to go into buildings face to face just yet.
Speaker 1: But do technology step by step. Just start with a hello,
Speaker 1: start with a text, and then keep moving forward. Use
Speaker 1: the base in your voice, put your shoulders back and
Speaker 1: stand tall. Okay, but you got this all right. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the next letter subject coming up on thirty
Speaker 1: going back to school. Dear Dawn, I will be thirty
Speaker 1: years old soon. I live in a small rural town
Speaker 1: and I had to drop out of college when I
Speaker 1: was nineteen. I tried to go back later on, but
Speaker 1: due to funds and other issues, I couldn't. Now I
Speaker 1: have a chance to go back to college because of
Speaker 1: a recent inheritance, but I'm having a hard time finding
Speaker 1: a point in doing so. Sadly, I cannot work due
Speaker 1: to my disability and likely will never be able to
Speaker 1: work again. I can't start a business, and I cannot
Speaker 1: do the work I always wanted to do being a
Speaker 1: marine biologist, as it requires too much field work, and
Speaker 1: I can't work from home. Because all of this, I've
Speaker 1: struggled with finding purpose. I've always wanted to go to
Speaker 1: college to have that experience, but if it's not going
Speaker 1: to get me where I want to be, what's the
Speaker 1: point why waste the money. I can't get my dream career.
Speaker 1: I can't work. I would only have a degree and
Speaker 1: that's it. I've thought about what else I could study.
Speaker 1: I love history, I could try to get a history
Speaker 1: degree or something. I do love animals, and I've thought
Speaker 1: of just donating the money to local shelters and non
Speaker 1: profits helping marine wildlife. Maybe that'd be a better thing
Speaker 1: to do. I'm having a hard time trying to figure
Speaker 1: out if it's worth it just for the experience. Is
Speaker 1: there any light you can shed on the benefit of
Speaker 1: going back to college? What would you do? What should
Speaker 1: I do? Prose cons I like this. I like this
Speaker 1: letter because it reminds to every person that is budding
Speaker 1: about what you should do in life. I want to
Speaker 1: first and furthermost say this, It's never too late to
Speaker 1: go after your dreams. I don't care if you're nineteen,
Speaker 1: forty five or eighty. Your dream is your purpose and
Speaker 1: it ignites your passion, and we all need passion to live. Now,
Speaker 1: you say that you at nineteen you had to drop
Speaker 1: out because of for said reasons, and you haven't told
Speaker 1: us what your disabilit it is, so it's kind of
Speaker 1: hard for us to suggest or to give advice or
Speaker 1: what you can and what you cannot do. Only you
Speaker 1: can discern your limitations. But I'll say this, go and
Speaker 1: get your degree. That is an accomplishment that you wanted.
Speaker 1: The way technology is advancing now, who says that you
Speaker 1: won't be geared in some type of virtual suit and
Speaker 1: here you are a robot and with your control is
Speaker 1: in the water. Don't limit the possibilities on your life.
Speaker 1: Remember your location where you are right now is not
Speaker 1: your destination. You have the ability to steal accomplish those
Speaker 1: dreams because what I find also if you just going
Speaker 1: back to school now that you have the money, is
Speaker 1: one you have nothing to lose to you are fulfilling
Speaker 1: a dream that you have placed on your life, and
Speaker 1: three you're worth it. True story. I'll tell you this.
Speaker 1: Looking back on my life and when I was in college,
Speaker 1: I always said that I would go to New York
Speaker 1: or l a kind of similar if you're thinking, like
Speaker 1: you want to be a marine biologist. Now, I could
Speaker 1: have looked at my limitations of not having a full
Speaker 1: planned out job instead of a three month fellowship of
Speaker 1: going to New York. But I still took the chance.
Speaker 1: And when I put one ft in the other, I
Speaker 1: saw that other things start to pan out. And so
Speaker 1: my path of taking a chance of being at a
Speaker 1: pr agency with three months. Jump started my career in
Speaker 1: radio because it got me to New York. And then
Speaker 1: being in New York, I was able to work at
Speaker 1: a heritage station, WBL last, which kick off me producing
Speaker 1: a morning show, which kicked off to me actually staying
Speaker 1: in radio, having my online show, to be the digital
Speaker 1: content producer of the Steve Harvey Morning Show, to having
Speaker 1: my weekend segment of What's Happening, and to develop and
Speaker 1: to put this podcast by them in d podcast coming
Speaker 1: into your speakers right now, and I heard radio app
Speaker 1: and wherever you're listening to your favorite podcast. So if
Speaker 1: your question is to me as to whether or not
Speaker 1: you divert from the dream, the answer is no, stay
Speaker 1: true to you and watch all of your dreams come true.
Speaker 1: You like what I did there? Okay, Oh my goodness, y'all,
Speaker 1: that was fine. I loved it. I didn't expect to
Speaker 1: get such interesting questions life love only fans. You know,
Speaker 1: a big part of why I do this is to
Speaker 1: be able to have a more direct interaction with you,
Speaker 1: and I'm so happy to be able to provide insight.
Speaker 1: I think it's important to know that we don't always
Speaker 1: have things figured out, and sometimes we need to ask
Speaker 1: for hell, that's what I'm here for. I'm always down
Speaker 1: the list and offer some insight. And Look, if you
Speaker 1: have an issue, something that's bogging you down and you
