1
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: I am a yamla, your host, your guide, a teacher

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: for salm, and a soft place to fall for others.

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: And I was a miserable failure in my relationships until

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: I love myself enough to be able to share my

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: love with other people. Welcome to the r Spot, a

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: production of shondaland Audio in partnership with iHeartRadio. Blessings and greetings.

7
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Art Spot. My guest today is Reginald

8
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: Lewis the Soul Matter, and he says that his life's

9
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: mission is to inspire, educate, empower and elevate humanity, helping

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 1: souls to heal and evolve through the infinite love and

11
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: wisdom of spirit so that they are way into their

12
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: full potential love. That's a big, big, big, tall order

13
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: if you just want to have a relationship. But Reginald

14
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: and I are talking about what makes that happen. He

15
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: works on the heart and I'm working on the mind.

16
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: So together we make a perfect match. I wonder if

17
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: he wants to marry me. No, just kidding, but I

18
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: do see an opening for a common question, and that

19
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: is what stands in the way of people really connecting

20
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: and finding the love they so desperately desire, Reginald, what

21
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: do you think.

22
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: It takes time to meditate, to contemplate, to internalize. So

23
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: I call soul searching. I'm very big on soul searching.

24
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: You know.

25
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: I always tell people, I said, I always ask people,

26
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: I said, have you done any soul searching in your life?

27
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: And what does that mean to you? Because you will

28
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: see that a lot of people they realize that they've

29
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: never really taken the time for themselves with themselves, you know,

30
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: they go by people are people are living on automatic

31
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: mold rather than manual mole. You know, they're living life

32
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: like machines, like WANs, you know, and letting everything else

33
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: influence them rather than them being in control, aware of

34
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: themselves and influing them influencing themselves, you know, and being aware.

35
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: Awareness is key. Awareness is everything. I'm big on that,

36
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: and that's how I approach my work through personal awareness.

37
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: How aware are you of yourself? Because I truly believe

38
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 2: that there is power and knowledge and self knowledge and

39
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: self awareness. So many people walk around with so much baggage,

40
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: so much drama, so much pain and hurt, not realizing

41
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 2: that they're walking around with this and that they are

42
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: living their life, acting upon their pain and their dramas, and.

43
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: Won't they attract somebody that can match that frequency, that

44
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: will match their pain, meaning that that person either has

45
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: the same pain or that person will intensify the pain

46
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: that they have.

47
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: Oh, most definitely. Yeah, because we're we're all energetic beings.

48
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: We're energetic beings. This is proven scientifically. You know that

49
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: we all have an electromagnetic field. You know, we emit

50
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: waves frequencies from our brain, from our heart, the strongest

51
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: being our heart. And if you are someone who's aware

52
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: of the law of attraction and how energy works, what

53
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: you put out you receive back.

54
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: So wait a minute, right there, what you put out

55
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: you put back. A woman who believes she's self aware

56
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: or man an somebody who believes they're self aware, and

57
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: they meditate and they run eight crystals on their big

58
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: toe and their eyebrow, and they you know, they good person,

59
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: and they feed the pigeons and they love they mama.

60
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: But they keep attracting a partner that cheats. What's going

61
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: on with that person?

62
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: Well, I always say this, I say you can do

63
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: all these things. You can say all the affirmations you

64
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: want to say, You can do all the visualization that

65
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: you know, and all the praying, But the thing is

66
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: do you believe? What is it that you believe? Believe

67
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: is everything? Your mindset is everything because it begins with

68
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: the thought. That's the seed that influences everything. So you

69
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: can be doing all these external things trying to manifest

70
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: your partner, attract your partner, but the key is your

71
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: belief and in alignment with what it is that you're

72
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: seeking and desiring. Because if you are a person that

73
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: you have a drama or pain from your past, whether

74
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: it's the relationships through your family, and you have not

75
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: healed that, you have not dealt with that, there's a

76
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: part of you that is out of alignment and that

77
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: it's not agreement with your actions. You and your heart

78
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: is not in alignment with your actions, then nothing's going

79
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: to manifest the way that you wanted to manifest.

80
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: You're not going to a person. You know, I've been

81
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: saying for the last couple of weeks months as I

82
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: work with people that women are over it. We're just

83
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: we're just over it. Women are over it with the

84
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: men and the craziness and the cheating and the whatever whatever.

85
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: So let's say you have a person, men or women,

86
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: because there's some men out there too that have been

87
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: run through the mouth and they're tired, they're hopeless, they're

88
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: just kind of fed up and they're just, you know,

89
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: forget it. I'll just be by myself. Thereby theirself because

90
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: they just don't want to give the relationship, the relationship

91
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: another try. They're just they're done with it. What does

92
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: that person do to open themselves up again to find

93
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: love again? What do they do when they're responding to

94
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,239
Speaker 1: their experiences external to internal but that's that's how they feel.

95
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: What do they have to do?

96
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what you just described is resistance when they say,

97
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: you know what, enough is enough? I'm going to resist

98
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: in fact, because the truth is they want to be loved.

99
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. Everyone wants to be loved,

100
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: you know. But they put up a wall because of

101
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: the love that they have experienced has led to hurt

102
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: and has led to pain, and so they're they're protecting themselves.

103
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: It's a protective mechanism, a defense mechanism. So to that

104
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: person that's gotten to that point, I first say, stop

105
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: blaming and focusing on the other person. I think a

106
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: lot of times it's so easy to put the blame

107
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: on other people you know, and say, oh, they did

108
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: this and that and blah blah blah, et cetera. But

109
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: I say, what have you done? What are you doing?

110
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: What accountability are you taking? Because that's the key part

111
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: that's missing. It's accountability. No want to take accountability. Everybody

112
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: wants to point fingers that that person he said, she said,

113
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: they did that.

114
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: So to that person that's tired, hopeless, in resistance, set

115
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: up a wall to avoid being heard. Again, I hear

116
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: you saying that the first step is to look at

117
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: what they're doing. Okay, so you want to put this

118
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: to practice.

119
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm ready.

120
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: Greeting's been loving and welcome to the R Spot. My

121
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: guest today is Reginald Lewis, and he is the sole matcher.

122
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: So he's going to help you find a match for

123
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: your soul.

124
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you for your time today.

125
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. So what is it that you want Reginald to

126
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: help you with today?

127
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: Okay?

128
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: So I'm calling because one of the biggest areas of

129
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: my life that I feel stuck in is my love life.

130
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: I'm looking for partnership, but I feel like I'm constantly

131
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 3: accepting less than what I desire. I feel very much stuck.

132
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 3: So my question is, how can I get completely completely

133
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: unstuck from past trauma beliefs so that I can attract

134
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: all that I desire in romantic relationships?

135
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god, did you write that question down? I

136
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: can get complete?

137
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 3: Yes, I had to on talking to mommy, Yamla. I

138
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 3: had to get it to get all right.

139
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: Well, you gotta talk to Reginald Lewis, go ahead, soul matchup.

140
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: You got that.

141
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: So it's like you've been through past relationships, past traumas,

142
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 2: relationships that didn't quite work out, but you expected them

143
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 2: to work out. Correct.

144
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean I've been through everything from abusive relationship

145
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: to just simply I make a list and none of

146
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: the boxes are checked, but I'm still entertaining. I'm still there,

147
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: and I know that a lot of it has to

148
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: do with past traumas, but I feel like I'm doing

149
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: some work to move past that. But I just still

150
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: feel like I still have the cooties emotionally.

151
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense. Well, I feel like, like any

152
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 2: dramatic situation, you're going to carry it and it's going

153
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: to be very much so instilled in you, and it

154
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: takes a like dislodging, you know, it takes it takes work.

155
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 2: You're going to have to dig deep to those roots,

156
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: dig up those things, you know. And it sounds like

157
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: you said you started, so you're doing the work. So

158
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 2: when you say, hey, you're doing the work, what what

159
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: does that mean at this point for you? Doing the work?

160
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 2: Where where's the healing for you? The process of healing

161
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: for you right now?

162
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 4: Uh?

163
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 3: The process of healing is that I've gone through some

164
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: years of counseling. I identify with being like daddy wass daughter,

165
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: emotionally detached mother and so I so I struggle with

166
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: worthiness and value. So the work is centered around just

167
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: you know, developing like that I'm worthy for good because

168
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: I feel like good is like removed for me inherently.

169
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: So are you currently as you're doing your work on yourself?

170
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: Are you talking to other people? Are you dating?

171
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: Not anything to write home about. I feel like I

172
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 3: talk to people, but I don't. It's not anything like

173
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 3: I don't really go out. I don't really let it

174
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: go past like verbal stuff or maybe even flirting sometimes

175
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 3: because I'm literally scared of my ability to make a

176
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: good Joine, What do.

177
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 2: You feel that you lack, that you do not trust

178
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: yourself and your own decision making.

179
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: I don't want to be stuck on a story, but

180
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: I what comes up for me when you ask that

181
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 3: is that I haven't been affirmed throughout my life.

182
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: With the big people.

183
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: So I don't I don't inherently feel like I don't

184
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: have that developed muscle that like, yeah, I'm going out

185
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: in the world and I'm trusting my choices and I'm

186
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: walking around without you know, like even considering that you know,

187
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: my value is a thing. I feel like that part

188
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 3: of me is underdeveloped, and when I'm doing the work

189
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: as an adult, it just feels like there's a tather

190
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 3: going on in there. So I just feel like that's underdeveloped,

191
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: and that's that's lacking.

192
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: Let me talk to Reginald for a minute, so a

193
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: couple of things and she can just be a fly

194
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: on the wall. List does talk about it, okay, But

195
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: can she finds someone who acknowledges her worth and her

196
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: value before she does that for herself?

197
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,359
Speaker 2: I say no, If you don't come to the fulalization yourself,

198
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: how can you expect someone else to come and to

199
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: see that fualization themselves. Because relationships are all that I

200
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 2: can mirrors their reflections. They're mirrors. Okay, So if you

201
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 2: don't trust yourself and you keep people at a distance,

202
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: guess what, They're not going to trust you and they're

203
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: going to remain at a distance.

204
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that right after this break. Welcome back

205
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: to the R spot. Let's pick up where we left off.

206
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: I heard her say that because she was never affirmed,

207
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: that her sense of value and sense of worth is underdeveloped.

208
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: So are there some concrete things she can do to

209
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: begin building that value and building that worth that can

210
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: then be recognized and acknowledged by somebody else. What are

211
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: some concrete things that she can do?

212
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: Begin to do things for yourself that make you feel good.

213
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: Things not because it's for someone else, you know, but

214
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: because it's for you. Meaning go out, get out, but

215
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: get out for you. Don't get out because it's like

216
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 2: I want to meet somebody for someone else. Get out

217
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: and do things for your personal enjoyment, for your personal satisfaction.

218
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: Because what I heard is that there was a lack

219
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: of confidence. That's I was going to say earlier. There's

220
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: a lack of confidence. You don't have the confidence enough

221
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: to say I trust myself. I trust my decisions, and

222
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: I trust the people that I allow to come into

223
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 2: my life or come into my space. And so you

224
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: have to allow yourself to become more acclimated with making practical,

225
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 2: small decisions and choices that you're confident in for yourself

226
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 2: to build your confidence.

227
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: But you know what, Reginald, she raises a very common

228
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: theme that I hear from people. I've made so many

229
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: mistakes in the past. How can I trust that I

230
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: won't do it again? Does that sound familiar to you, beloved?

231
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: I cannot trust that I won't do it again? So

232
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: how does she get through that?

233
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: You know, they're just saying do the same thing get

234
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: the same result, do something different get a different result.

235
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: Maybe looking at the patterns of those choices, those decisions

236
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: you know that you feel that work out the best

237
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: for you, and say, what were the decisions or choices

238
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: that I made then that kind of led to those

239
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: circumstances and situations, And what can I do now differently?

240
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 3: So I definitely am trying to do more of that

241
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: where I'm reflecting so that I don't continue to make

242
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: the same voices.

243
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: Let me offer you this ancient Buddhist principle that says

244
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: nothing is permanent, nothing is personal, and nothing is perfect.

245
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: So when you look at your past relationships, know that

246
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: no relationship, not with the best in the world, it's

247
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: not permanent because eventually the person's gonna die or you're

248
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna die. So nothing is permanent. So don't think that

249
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: any of your past relationships had to be permanent. They

250
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: were learning tools, they were proving grounds. So nothing is permanent,

251
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: nothing is personal, nothing is personal. People do what they

252
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: do based on who they are and the information that

253
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: they had. So you had some information back then that

254
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: you have updated so you can now function with current events.

255
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: Okay, you don't.

256
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: Have to worry about what was and it wasn't personal.

257
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: They didn't beat you up or betray you or deny

258
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: you because they were coming for you personally. That's just

259
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: what they do. And you didn't make the choices and

260
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: decisions that you made because you were personally trying to

261
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: be their doormat or personally trying to be their victim.

262
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: It won't personal. It was based on the information that

263
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: you had. And nothing is perfect, nothing, nothing and no one.

264
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: So you're never going to get it perfectly right. You're

265
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: never going to do it perfectly right. You do based

266
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: on who you are. Now. You're a woman who's acknowledged

267
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: your mistakes. You've gone, you've gotten some help, you're growing,

268
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: you're healing. I remember when I did a show with

269
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: a young man ace metaphor, and I said to him,

270
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: what would you tell women who are really wanting to

271
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: to date or find somebody? You know what? He said,

272
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: Get out of the house, he said, go out, just

273
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: as Richanoda's saying to you, go out, you know, and

274
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: go to places that men frequent, like the home depot. Okay,

275
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: get dressed up, put on your finest heels and your

276
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: fishnet stockings, and just walk the aisles of the home

277
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: or go to the mechanic shop say I need some help,

278
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: and then they'll say, well what do you need? I

279
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: don't know. I just don't know. Can you listen and

280
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: see if this sounds all right?

281
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 3: You know, just be seen. I remember you saying that before.

282
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 3: You said something about like if you feel a little

283
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 3: uncomfortable around male energy energy, to just get around it.

284
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: Where even if you're not like trying to be straightforward

285
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 3: and like date someone that you could just get comfortable

286
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 3: around being around male energy.

287
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 4: So I love that.

288
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 3: I love those ideas.

289
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: One of the things that you know, I tell women

290
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: all the time is speak to every man you see

291
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: with no attachment to his response. If you're in the

292
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: superman high, how are you be? Couldn't morning? How you

293
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: look at you?

294
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 3: Just one?

295
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: Just speak to every man you see, white, black, old, young, stake, gay,

296
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: It don't matter if it's a man. Just speak to him,

297
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: just you know, Sasha by and just say hi. That's

298
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: how you're going to build the confidence that Reginald is

299
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: talking about. And one of them will bite, you know,

300
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: one of them will or one of them won't, and

301
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: you just keep saying hi. Just high, no attachment. You know,

302
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: you're not trying to marry everything in the supermarket.

303
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 3: Or everything at the lose, you know. But I love that.

304
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: You know.

305
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 2: I want to say this as well, is that it's

306
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: okay to make mistakes.

307
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: Just don't marry them.

308
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 2: But make a mistake, but learn from it, Learn that

309
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: from because that's what life is about, you know. And

310
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: another thing, too, which I feel is a conscious thing,

311
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: is the fear of rejection.

312
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. What is that? What is the

313
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: fear of being rejected? What? What? What is that, Reginald.

314
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: What do we tell ourselves about somebody rejecting us?

315
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: Most people have the fear of rejections, the fear of

316
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: being denied, being turned down, not being received. For most

317
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: people that means that they feel denied, They feel that

318
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 2: something is wrong with them. You know, they take it personal.

319
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: Nothing's personal nothing you know when people reject me, you

320
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: know what I say, Well, hell, that ain't the one

321
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: for me, because what I want is wanting me to

322
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: so buye, get out the way next, keep it moving. Yeah,

323
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: but that's huge, the fear of rejection. And I think

324
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: it's sometime because we want it or them, we think

325
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: they should want us. And then if it ain't for you,

326
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: it ain't for you. And if you force it, then

327
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: you really will be rejected or turned down or denied.

328
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: So we love it. Tell me something you know now

329
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: that you didn't know when you called, That.

330
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 3: I need to go out to the whole depot of

331
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 3: the shit, that I that it's okay to make mistakes,

332
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 3: and that nothing is personal, perfect or permanent, and that

333
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: I should be willing to do something different because I

334
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 3: can't keep doing the same thing expecting a different result.

335
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: So thank you for.

336
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: That, and and that your past missteps were really a

337
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: setup for what's possible. Now you know what you did before,

338
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: do something different, don't do that. If you didn't speak

339
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: up back, then speak up now. If you let little

340
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: things slide back, then don't let them slide now. If

341
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: you didn't ask for what you wanted back, then ask

342
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: for what you would. Just do it different, because life

343
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: gives you an endless supply of do overs. There is

344
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: an endless supply of do overts. You can do it

345
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: over and over and over until you get it. Listen,

346
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: you stay in touch and let me know how you're

347
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: making out. And thank you for writing your question. Now,

348
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: it was so precise and nice. All right, Okay, bye bye, Yeah, Reginald.

349
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: That thing, that rejection, then that really keeps people stuff.

350
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: And so I feel that's a big thing with people,

351
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: is that fear of rejection and ego? Is that ego? Well,

352
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say anything to that person. I'm

353
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: not going to put myself out there, you know. I'm

354
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 2: going to try to play the tough person, you know,

355
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: and I don't need anybody or all of that. Yeah, yeah,

356
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: you know.

357
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: We got one more call of Reginald. I want to

00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: a challenge you want to present to him today?

365
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 4: Sure, So a little bit about myself. I'm twenty seven

366
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 4: years old. I live in the DC area, and I

367
00:21:55,200 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 4: have never been in any successful long term relationship. I've

368
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 4: always gotten into like.

369
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: Long term twenty seven.

370
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 4: I know long year, long term, like over over a year.

371
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 4: I would say over a year.

372
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, you could have a long relationship in

373
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: twenty seven. Okay, go ahead. I'm sorry, yeah.

374
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 4: No, no, it's okay. So yeah, So I'm just I'm

375
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 4: wondering my last relationship that ended at about a year,

376
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 4: that it didn't even quite make it to a year.

377
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 4: But that was four years ago, and I've been constantly,

378
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 4: like going to therapy, working on myself, getting my life together,

379
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 4: making sure that I'm able to do what I need

380
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 4: to do to take care of myself. Before I involve

381
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 4: myself to anybody else. So I'm basically wondering, is there

382
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 4: anything else that I need to do to prepare to

383
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 4: re enter the dating pool?

384
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: Oh Lord, miss the matchmaker, go ahead.

385
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Well I would say this, you're doing the first

386
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 2: and most important thing, which is you're prioritizing yourself. Do

387
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 2: you want to get married? Are you? Are you looking

388
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: or are you just looking just to Okay, so that's

389
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 2: something that you desire. You would like to find someone

390
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 2: that is a potential marriage partner. Okay. Another question is

391
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: are you on any dating sites?

392
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 4: I'm on all the dating apps.

393
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm glad to ask that question. Okay, ye on

394
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: your dating are you clear? Are you intentional that I

395
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: seek marriage a marriage partner? I'm seeking a marriage partner.

396
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 4: No, so I don't. I don't have it explicitly as.

397
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 2: That you're still wasting time and you're wasting energy, right

398
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 2: because whoever is that you know you're you're dating or

399
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: you're talking to, they can't read your mind. And so

400
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 2: if you begin to date someone and you find out that,

401
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: oh they don't want to get married, you know, they

402
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: just want to just have fun whatever, you know they're

403
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 2: focusing on self, just want to, you know, have a

404
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: good time. It's because you wasn't clear and your intentions

405
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 2: and you did not express that, you didn't make that known.

406
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 2: Women particularly, they say I want to get married or

407
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 2: I want a lifelong partner and hits, but they never

408
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: write that and their profile.

409
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. They're not asking for what they want.

410
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: They're not asking.

411
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: They're not asking, they're not being clear about what they want.

412
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: And they're wondering, well, how come I'm not meeting the

413
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: right person, the right individual because you haven't made it

414
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: clear exactly what you want and what you desire. Okay,

415
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: but if you're clear about what you want to desire,

416
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: then that person that reads your profile, if it's there

417
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 2: in straight bull print and they can read, they're either

418
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: going to say that's what I want as well, and

419
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: this is someone that I want to interact with because

420
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 2: we have a mutual interest and common purpose, or they're not.

421
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that when we come. Welcome back. I

422
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: am y, I'm learing this is the R spot. Here's

423
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: what my mother told me long time ago. How many

424
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: frogs must you kiss before you meet a prince? Because

425
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: if you ain't willing to kiss some frogs you may

426
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: never meet your prince. Are you willing to kiss a

427
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: few frogs on the day inside, Yeah, it's a frog,

428
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: you throw it back. You don't take that home right exactly?

429
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm willing to kiss a few frogs. I have

430
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 4: a question about putting out my I know my personal

431
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 4: intentions is to get a marriage partner and be set

432
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 4: up with a lifelong partner. But I was told that

433
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 4: sometimes if you lead with your intentions, you might meet

434
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 4: somebody that is untruthful and just tell you that that's

435
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 4: their intentions as well, just to continue to play around

436
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 4: with you.

437
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought that up.

438
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 4: That's why I don't have that necessarily on my dating

439
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 4: profile and I don't lead with it on a date.

440
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: Well, this is the thing is if you don't want

441
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 2: to waste time and energy, like you said, you have

442
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: to be clear and you have to be direct about

443
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: what you want. You have to write that out and

444
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: either they're going to read it or not going to

445
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: read it. Now as far as you saying that that

446
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: person may be able to deceive you, this is where

447
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 2: you have to use your discernment. And this is another

448
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 2: key aspect that I feel a lot of people miss

449
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: ask questions to see where this person is or where

450
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: they're at, because there's no way that they're going to

451
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 2: be able to prolong something and deceive you. If you're

452
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: asking questions, if you're communicating, if you're getting to know

453
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: who this person is. And discernment comes from your soul,

454
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: True discernment comes from your soul, your ability to make

455
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 2: right judgment for yourself. What's right for you, what's beneficial

456
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: for you, what's good for you, what's good for your soul?

457
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: So people need to begin to ask themselves, is this

458
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: right for me? Is this in my highest and best

459
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 2: benefit for me? Does this feel right to me? Does

460
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 2: this feel good to me? Does this add to peace

461
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 2: in my life? Because I truly believe a relationship never

462
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: feel like a prison. That's if a relationship feels like

463
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: a prison, then that means there's all types of stuff

464
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 2: going on there that's not supposed to be going on.

465
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: There's control and raby a whole bunch of other things.

466
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 2: And relationships aren't about of control, they're about but.

467
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 4: How how do you?

468
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 3: How do you?

469
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: What about the little hiccups? Because when you're learning somebody,

470
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: when you're growing into somebody. They will be missteps. So

471
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: how do you know it's a misstep and or or

472
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: this is not feeling good and I'm gonna throw this

473
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: relationship away. How do you make that? Is that what

474
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: discerned means exactly?

475
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: There's a difference, for sure between a misstep. Like the

476
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: young lader said, it's okay to make mistakes. People make mistakes, Okay.

477
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: Now the question is if you make a mistake in

478
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 2: the relationship you're you're with someone, does that person forgive?

479
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: Are you forgiving of each other? Are you willing to

480
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 2: work and progress beyond that, learn from that and to

481
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: move on. It's different now someone is consistent and persistent

482
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 2: in the mistake and your discernment to say, oh that's

483
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: a red flag.

484
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, And I would write that down

485
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: too and put that on my little piece of paper.

486
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: Pay attention to the red flags or the blue flags

487
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: or the green flags if it's a flag, pay pay

488
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: attention to the flags. That means the repetitive abuses, violations, missteps, stories,

489
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: pay attention to the flags. I put that down on

490
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 1: my thing, and not moving too fast and giving up

491
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: the huhah before they deserve that. See the hoohah, don't

492
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: give up the hoo hold on.

493
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

494
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 4: So that's another question. How long do you hold on

495
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 4: to the who has.

496
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: Well? You know, I follow the ninety day rule, and

497
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: if I see anything between day one and ninety that

498
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: makes me a little suspicious, I'll move it up to

499
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,239
Speaker 1: one twenty because they ain't gonna hang around for one

500
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty days without the hu haa. You know,

501
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: they if they don't have good intentions. So hold on

502
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: to the hoho hah.

503
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: Okay, And if you're looking for a husband and a husband,

504
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: someone who's husband potential is looking for a wife someone

505
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: whose wife potential, they're going to get to know you.

506
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 2: You know, they're going to show interest in who you are. Okay, Yeah,

507
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: there's gonna be physical attraction there, of course. You know,

508
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 2: we're human beings. We have physical attraction and there's nothing

509
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: wrong with that. But like you said, do not move

510
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 2: forward too fast. Take your time. Take your time to

511
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: get to know this person. Get to know their background,

512
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 2: get to know their relationships with their family, with themselves,

513
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 2: what they desire, what their goals are, what their purpose is,

514
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: so that you can see whether the Remember earlier I

515
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: said core values. What are your core values? Do their

516
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: values align with your values?

517
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: And you know you're a young woman. So one of

518
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: the things that I would say to you is, above all,

519
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: know what his relationship is like with his mother, because

520
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: that's going to tell you a lot. He's got to

521
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: be in either neutral relationship or good relationship with his mother.

522
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: And you don't want him to think you're lunchable. You

523
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: want him to think you're a full course meal. And

524
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: that takes time. You know, they have appetizer, and they

525
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: have the dreams, and they set the table and they

526
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: change the plate. You know that means take your time

527
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: and don't convince yourself that you know that you're lunchable.

528
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: Don't be desperate. You're twenty seven. You got to at

529
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: least another six years, so take your time and really

530
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: get clear as rich as a reginal as saying yes,

531
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven, Yeah, that's good, that's good. Well thank you.

532
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: Tell me something you know now that you didn't know

533
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: when you called another.

534
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 4: Okay, it's not that I didn't know it before, but

535
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 4: I think you all kind of dusted it off and

536
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 4: brought it to the forefront. For me, is using discernments, right,

537
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 4: So being a little bit, not judgmental, but being using

538
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 4: judgment as a form to really get to interrogate and

539
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 4: get to know somebody for who they truly are, versus

540
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 4: just taking what they say on the surface and rolling

541
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 4: with it, but actually getting down to the deeper levels

542
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 4: and understanding what their intentions are and seeing if their

543
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 4: answers align with what they told you before maybe thirty

544
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 4: days later, like are you saying the same thing or

545
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 4: are you always switching up your answers consistency.

546
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. Do you believe you

547
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: can have what you want?

548
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 4: I believe that everything success. I believe that success is

549
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 4: written for me absolutely.

550
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: And what is it that you want when it comes

551
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: to a relationship. Let me hear you articulate what it

552
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: is that you want. What do you want?

553
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 4: I want a caring partner, somebody that's loyal, and somebody

554
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 4: that value family. Those are the top three things that

555
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 4: I want.

556
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh really, do you want him to have hand tea?

557
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

558
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: Do you want his parts to be working?

559
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: Oh?

560
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: All?

561
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: I want all. I want it to look like a

562
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 4: good package too, But yes, I do I do value that.

Speaker 1: Anything the chance, you know, put it all out there,

566
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: hold all of that in your mind so that you

567
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, because if you want six two mocha with

568

Speaker 1: had a serious relationship that lasted longer than a year.

574
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: You don't know how lucky you are, because there's some

575
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old who could write a series of

576
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: horror stories based on their relationship. So good luck to you.

Speaker 1: Okay, bye, bye, fine Reginald. It has been just a joy.

582
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: It has been a joy. I want to tell you

583
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: what I got down from all of the people you

584
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: spoke to and all of the stuff that we did.

585
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: Get clear about who you are. Step number one, Be

586
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: clear about who you are from the inside out. Be

587
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: clear and intentional about what you want, and that includes

588
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: knowing your core values and what matters to you, be

589
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: willing to ask for what you want, you know, put

590
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: it out there. What else do our spots need to

591
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: know when it comes to really dating and looking for relationships?

592
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: What else?

593
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: I think people go to relationship they feel a relationship

594
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 2: is supposed to fulfill all my needs. No, okay, a

595
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 2: relationship is not meant to fulfill all of your needs. Okay,

596
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 2: a relationship. From my experience, what I've learned personally as

597
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: well as through working with others, is that relationships are

598
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: about growth. Okay. Yeah, And you can fulfil yourself or

599
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 2: one can fulfill. You can only complete yourself. No one

600
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 2: can complete you. People can compliment you, people can support you,

601
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 2: but you only fulfill yourself.

602
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: But but can I ask you a question? I want

603
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: to ask you a personal question. You don't have to

604
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: answer it if you don't want to, but I'm gonna

605
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 1: ask the question. Anyhow, you you who can see things

606
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: and angels into people's soul and stuff, you can have

607
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: a personal relationship with somebody.

608
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: That's a great question. A lot of people ask me

609
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: that it is. I know anyone who I believe is

610
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: a very discerning person, very self aware individual. It's difficult

611
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 2: because unfortunately, it's not that there aren't other people's, other

612
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: self aware, conscious people in the world, but it's they're

613
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 2: not freely flowing in the world like everybody else.

614
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: You know.

615
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 2: It's like it's it's you have to you have to

616
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 2: have faith and kind of know, Okay, I'm not alone,

617
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 2: and that I will meet and connect with those people

618
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: at the right place at the right time. It takes

619
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: a certain faith and trust and higher power. And that's
