I had 22 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 3: a I had this morning. I was you know, I 23 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 3: had a good morning. I had a good morning. But 24 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 3: then I had to interact with a friend who has 25 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 3: been really toxic in my life. That friend will not 26 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 3: be named, and I have gone out of my way 27 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 3: to forgive that person and allow that person to be 28 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 3: my friend. But I've decided I can't let that person 29 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 3: make me react, make me say things that I really 30 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 3: don't want to say, because then I start to feel 31 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: bad about myself and I say bad things about myself, 32 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 3: like oh, I shouldn't have said that. That was really 33 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 3: mean of me. I don't know why I said those things. 34 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: That's so wrong. 35 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: I wonder if God is mad at me, you know 36 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 3: what I mean, You know, things of that nature that 37 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 3: happens to It happens to all of us if I'm 38 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 3: being honest with you. And then so today I settled 39 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: in UH and I was prepping for the podcast, doing 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: some things for the podcast, and I started reading up 41 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: more and more on today's guest who I will tell 42 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: you who that is in just a few moments, and 43 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 3: I thought, wow, well this is powerful because I really 44 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 3: needed to hear it. I really needed this person. I 45 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: really needed to remind myself that being affirmed is powerful. 46 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 3: That word itself slows me down. I feel it in 47 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: my pit when I say affirm, affirm, And that's why 48 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 3: we started with the Nise Nash response because she affirmed 49 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 3: herself and her congratulations speech. It's not a response, it 50 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 3: was her speech. And so today on the podcast we 51 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: have doctor Cheryl P. Williamson. Now some of you may 52 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: have heard of her, and for those of you who 53 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: have not, she is a mindset coach. Here we are 54 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 3: at the top of the year, and we always talk 55 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 3: about resolutions and what we want to do. Doctor Cheryl 56 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 3: says she does not believe in resolutions. She believes in 57 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 3: lifestyle changes, and I agree with that. And she teaches 58 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 3: you today on this podcast, which I didn't even know 59 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 3: we were doing, and how to how to really affirm yourself, 60 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 3: how to start doing it. Some of you probably already 61 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: do this. I use the example of saying, how I 62 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: always knew I was moving to New York. I visualized 63 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,839 Speaker 3: myself in this city. I was living in a different place, 64 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 3: but I knew I was going to be in the city. 65 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 3: I visualize me doing what I was doing for a 66 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 3: living when I was a kid. I literally visualized myself 67 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 3: being a reporter as a kid. And while I didn't 68 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: know that I was manifesting or I was affirming my dreams, 69 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: I have been doing all of that, and I want 70 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 3: everyone to do the same. On Cheryl's page, I'll just 71 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 3: read a few of her affirmations that she says every 72 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 3: morning and she shares them with us, and she wants 73 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 3: to make sure we're doing I attract positive and empowering energy. 74 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: I am worthy of success and happiness. I am worthy 75 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 3: of success and happiness. Let me say that over and 76 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 3: over again for everyone who is living and listening to 77 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: this podcast. You are worthy of success and happiness. I 78 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: am capable of achieving my goals. Now these all may 79 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 3: sound really simple to you, but imagine saying that over 80 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: and over again to yourself until you believe every single 81 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 3: day throughout the day, very simply like a prayer God, 82 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 3: I believe whatever it may be. Maybe you don't, whomever 83 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: your God is. My point being is that repetition is powerful. 84 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 3: Affirmation is powerful. So I thank doctor Sheryl P. Williamson 85 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 3: for being on the podcast today. I hope you all 86 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 3: enjoy and remember to affirm yourself. 87 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: Champion and care with chapion and care with chat. 88 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 3: I really, really really think that it's apropos that we 89 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 3: have you on the podcast. Thank you so much for 90 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 3: being on Naked and this is the beginning of the year. 91 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 3: We're in January, almost January flew by. I feel like 92 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 3: the first three weeks of January have been long, but 93 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 3: I'm grateful for them. And this is the time of 94 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 3: the year when people make New Year's resolutions or promise 95 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 3: to be better or all the different things that they 96 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 3: want to do with themselves. This is we find ourselves 97 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 3: promising to be better, and I feel like there's goodness 98 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 3: in this promise. But I'm really curious about affirmation. Affirming. 99 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 3: That word itself is powerful and you have such a 100 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 3: unique relationship with it that I find fascinating because I 101 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 3: affirm read affirmations all day I'm on social media. I like, 102 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 3: I say if I can keep them to myself. But 103 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: I've never thought like, oh, let me just really be 104 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 3: intentional and say it every single day. And I know 105 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: people practice it, but you've done You've taken it farther 106 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 3: than just practicing it. If you could tell everyone the 107 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 3: genesis of your story and ultimately the writing of your 108 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 3: very first book, Affirmed and your second one that you 109 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: were just talking about, you promote it absolutely. 110 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: So I have not always been the woman of power 111 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 2: that I am right Now, there was a time in 112 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: my life where I just felt like I was just 113 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: going through the motions, and I realized one day that 114 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 2: whatever I said to myself is what would manifest in 115 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: my life. My husband had just got diagnosed with cancer, 116 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 2: my mother in law had passed away from cancer, and 117 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 2: then I got diagnosed with petricular tagocardia, and I wanted 118 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: to make sure that I didn't stay on heart medication, 119 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 2: no heart monitor. I wanted healing. So I began to 120 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 2: speak those words over myself, as opposed to saying, oh, 121 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 2: I'm going to always be on heart medication. I started 122 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: speaking words that I'm not on a heart monetor I'm 123 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: not on heart medication. This pain leaves me that I 124 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 2: felt from losing my mother in law and then my 125 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 2: husband being diagnosed with cancer, and I realized that there 126 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 2: was something and I don't even want to say magical, 127 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: there was something so profound that was happening in my 128 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: appening in my life because I started believing what I 129 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: was saying to myself. Whatever I would say in my 130 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 2: mind that would leave my mouth would begin to manifest 131 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: in my life. So I was healed. I'm not on 132 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: heart medication, I'm not on the heart monitor and I'm 133 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: not partiologists in four years. 134 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: Wow. 135 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: So from that I started sharing on social media the affirmations. 136 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 2: I received preferential treatment. I received God inspired ideas that 137 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: produced millions of dollars. I am worthy, I am love, 138 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: and I can tell you I started seeing, feeling, visioning 139 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: being placed in situations and circumstances where I was being blessed, 140 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 2: where I was being seen, where I was being heard, 141 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 2: heard and seen in rooms that people told me I 142 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: couldn't even get into. And it was the power of 143 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: my words and believing it. So I knew that I 144 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: was on to something. And people started calling me and 145 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: in boxing me and telling me how their life was changing. 146 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: And I said, what do you want me to do 147 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: with this? And I heard so clearly, go to social media, 148 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 2: take all the affirmations that I poured into you and 149 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 2: placed them in a book. And that is how the 150 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: affirm Volume two came to be. I took all the 151 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: quotes off of social media, placed them in a book, 152 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: and I will share with you. One of my affirmations 153 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: was to make this easy, make me in contact with 154 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: the right person at the right time. So I have 155 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: to tell you I had no problems get in that 156 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 2: book published because of my affirmations. He had brought everything 157 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: and everybody into my environment.

But when you make a 171 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 2: conscious decision in your mind that this is your lifestyle change, 172 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 2: you will stick to. 173 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 3: Everything that you're saying is interesting.

These words are popular and 176 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 3: they're in the ether, and we don't necessarily know how 177 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 3: to do it. I've seen books on how you do it. 178 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 3: I've read I've read a book on how you do it. 179 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 3: I've seen people talk about how they manifest. Manifestation is powerful. 180 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 3: I would even dare I say, have done that in 181 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 3: my life, but didn't realize is that I was doing it. 182 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 3: Everyone does a vision board, and I want to see 183 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 3: it journaling all of the things. What I am saying 184 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 3: is that I know this is a practice that many 185 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 3: people have. So here's my question for you. I write 186 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 3: in my journal, I say I'm manifesting. I think about 187 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 3: what I want and it appears it really does. It 188 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 3: doesn't always look exactly the way I want it, but 189 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 3: it's there and it's easy. When people don't realize what 190 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 3: is What would you call that if they wouldn't say 191 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: it's intentional manifesting. 192 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: If it's not intentional manifesting, it's destiny. It is what 193 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 2: is already in you to take place in your life, 194 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 2: but it comes from you be believe in that. It's 195 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 2: seeing it before you see it. So when we say 196 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 2: debt free, you have to see yourself debt free. If 197 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 2: you say a and you have to stay out of 198 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 2: people's stores, that's the other thing. You have to stay 199 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 2: out of people's stores. You cannot write down I am 200 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 2: debt free. 201 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 3: Listen, listen. You ain't got it all tell me about 202 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 3: being debt free. I take that for granted, Thank you Jesus. 203 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 3: I am defree and I take it for granted. But 204 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 3: you ain't got to tell me. It is hard to 205 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 3: stay out of people's stores because we love things going on, but. 206 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 2: In order to make it happen, you have to see it. 207 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: And I have to tell you what I do is. 208 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: I remember I wrote down I am on Sister Circle. 209 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: I didn't know how it was going to happen, when 210 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 2: it was going to happen, but I will tell you 211 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 2: I went ahead to pick the outfit out. I knew 212 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 2: what I was going to talk about in everything. So 213 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: when it finally came about that, I was on Sister 214 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: Circle and they asked me, how did I prepare? I 215 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: said I didn't have to. I was ready when I 216 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: wrote it on my vision board. I already knew what 217 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 2: was happening. I just didn't know when. And that's what 218 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: I want to encourage everyone who will listen to us today. 219 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: For those who say I'm a filmmaker, have your film ready, 220 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 2: have your book ready, have your media kit ready, be ready, 221 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: and stop getting ready. You have to live as if 222 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: it has already manifested in your life at that business suit, 223 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 2: go ahead and be ready for the opportunity. When my 224 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 2: sister called me and ask about being over podcast, I 225 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 2: already knew I was ready because I had already written 226 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 2: down for six years. I have a radio, TV and film, 227 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 2: So how could I not be ready? When she called, amen, 228 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: I'm ready. I'm sorry, Cheryl, I'm ready. Okay, So listen, 229 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 2: this is there's a mindset that you need to have. 230 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: I hear you. I believe that I have witnessed that 231 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 3: there are those who haven't. You wrote your first book, 232 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 3: Affirm right now my second book, as are said, Okay, okay, 233 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 3: what was your first book? 234 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 2: My first book is Words from the Spirit for the 235 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 2: Spirit okay, And then Affirm was written. 236 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 3: And what was the inspiration for affirm? Not this one, 237 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: not the one that you're promoting. 238 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: It's a firm all you two. 239 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 3: So firm one was written out of what inspiration? You said. 240 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 3: You took a firm valume too, and you took your sayings, 241 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 3: your affirmations from social medium and put it in a book. 242 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: What was the first one? 243 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 2: So out of the first one, that's where those quotes 244 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 2: it was out of that pain from my husband being 245 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: diagnosed with cancer, me being diagnosed with the hard condition 246 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 2: of my mother in law passing away. That's where those 247 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 2: affirmations came from. But I will share with you the 248 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: difference between the two is I really wasn't as sure 249 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 2: of myself as I am right now. And I'm going 250 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: to tell you the difference, and I'm going to actually 251 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 2: mail you over of the books. I realized if part 252 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 2: one is that I will will needs that get might 253 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: or at Might nine, there's no push behind it. It's 254 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: just I will speak highly of myself. Now I am 255 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: the best, I am enough. There was no I am 256 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,719 Speaker 2: getting that book. So now all these years later, I 257 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: heard so clearly the Holy Spirit say to me, you 258 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 2: are not the same person that wrote that book all 259 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: those years. You need to tell people, really affirm who 260 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 2: they are, and writing I with the conviction for people 261 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: to walk it out every day and say I am enough, 262 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: I am valuable, I am worthy, I deserve to be 263 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: in the room. So with a firm Volume two, that 264 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 2: spirit that's in that book cannot be denied, need not 265 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: be denied because you can see the difference. How when 266 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: you think one way maybe six years versus to how 267 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: you feel right now. So a Firm Volume two is 268 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 2: packed with powerful affirmations of I am. 269 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I love that okay, as opposed to 270 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 3: I will so a typical affirmation thirty day affirmation. They 271 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 3: say it takes twenty two days to create a habit. 272 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 3: Twenty one twenty two days to create a habit, I'm 273 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 3: gonna approximate. So you are on social media, have done 274 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 3: day one of affirmations? Are you doing it for the 275 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 3: rest of the year. Are you doing it for a month? 276 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 3: Tell me your purpose of actually going to social media 277 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 3: and really saying some real powerful affirmations and sharing those 278 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 3: with everyone who follows you. 279 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: People are hurting and people are looking for solutions, and 280 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 2: so my desire with this challenge was to give people 281 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 2: something that they could command in their own life. So 282 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 2: we're doing this, doing it for thirty one days. We're 283 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: also giving people the opportunity to purchase the affirm Volume 284 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: two books so that they can continue on this journey 285 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 2: with us. The piece that I pick the ones that 286 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: are out right now, is based on the emails that 287 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 2: I get, the inboxes that I get, and the social 288 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 2: landscape of what we are in right now. My job, 289 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: my purpose, my gift, and my calling. I love everybody, 290 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 2: but it's just something about women and especially women, and 291 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 2: it's my purpose to make sure that my sisters win. 292 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: And with the affirmations that I'm sharing with them, it 293 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 2: lets them know that they have the ability to change 294 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: the course of their life by what they say to themselves. 295 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: When we find value, I am valuable. That is powerful 296 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: because we don't look to the world to tell us 297 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: we are valuable. We know it well. We know things 298 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 2: for ourselves. It's like beautiful. When someone says you're beautiful, 299 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: I smile because I've already told myself that that morning. 300 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: They're saying that, but I already believe right, we have to. 301 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 2: So that challenge is for people to realize, you have 302 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 2: everything that you need in your hands in order to 303 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: walk out this gift of this life that you have, 304 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: and let's do it together. But let's do it in 305 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 2: such a way where you command it in your mind, 306 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: it leads your mouth and you see it manifest in 307 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 2: your life. Because when you can see it manifest one 308 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: time and you realize it was through your thoughts, you 309 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: want more of it, right, You want more? You want 310 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 2: more healing, you want more positive relationships. And when you 311 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 2: start seeing it come to you and you're like, I 312 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 2: said that seven years ago. Because since I'll tell you 313 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 2: it's some things, it has brought me to tears because 314 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 2: I asked years ago and it just started manifesting. Now 315 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 2: I can go back to journal books from two thousand 316 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: and seven and two thousand and five and it brings 317 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 2: me to tears because I'm like, oh, it took twelve years, 318 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: but I didn't. It took twenty two years, but it happened. 319 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: So I want everybody to know it may not happen today, 320 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: and it may happen today, but if it doesn't, keep writing, 321 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 2: believing and seeing what you want to see manifest in 322 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 2: your life. Because when you know that you can control 323 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 2: your life by the power of your word, your thoughts, 324 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 2: and your actions, that's life changing. Because your mind is 325 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 2: your super. 326 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 3: Pat it's our superpower. And and by the way, the 327 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 3: longest journey I've ever taken was from my head to 328 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 3: my heart. And so once I figure out to get 329 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 3: that together, I'm I'm working on myself every very single day. 330 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 3: That is the longest journey. You know what that music means, 331 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 3: It means we have to pay some bills back in 332 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 3: the moment. 333 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 4: Every champion and carry champion is to be a champion, 334 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 4: a champion and carry champion and carry chat beata champion 335 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 4: and carry chappion and carry chappyfraid is the sports and 336 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 4: entertainment Getting naked word.

That's why 342 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 3: it's called spelling, because they cast spells, and so we 343 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 3: have to make sure we use our words preciously. Before 344 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 3: you enter your second act as you called it earlier, 345 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 3: was this always a way of life for you in 346 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 3: which you never necessarily practiced or never said out loud 347 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 3: or shared just you know me, maybe with your closest 348 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 3: friends and family, but before you really decided that this 349 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 3: is my platform and I'm living on it in this 350 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 3: second act? What was your approach to life? Because there 351 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 3: are those who can't see it if they don't believe it, 352 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Who can't understand it and 353 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 3: can't get out of their own circumstances or their own 354 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 3: head dice because it's crowded up in there. It's crowded 355 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 3: up in there. 356 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 2: I actually dabbled heel it a little bit before my 357 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: second act, so from maybe forty seven, and prior to that, 358 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 2: I did the vision boards. They look beautiful doing all 359 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 2: of this, but I was not really studying it and 360 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 2: believe in it and walking out as much as I 361 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 2: am now. When I got forty seven, my husband and 362 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 2: I bought the franchise writes the five fitness Clubs title 363 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 2: Boxing Clubs, and I realized maybe seven months into it, 364 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: through affirmation through mindset, I said, oh, this is not 365 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 2: what I'm supposed to be doing. But of course we're 366 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 2: in financially, but I still go to him and I said, 367 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 2: this is not what I'm supposed to be doing. This 368 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 2: is not a part of this destiny, this calling. So 369 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: we sold them off and I began to focus more 370 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 2: on the purpose, the mindset, the calling. Why am I 371 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 2: sharing that because somebody is going to listen to us 372 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: right now? Who is on the fence of whether to believe, 373 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 2: whether to walk forward, whether to manifest and I can 374 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 2: tell you that when the second act came, which the 375 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 2: clubs weren't forty at forty seven, by forty eight, I 376 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: was so in tuned to sin because they were, we 377 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 2: were able to sell them. I knew that my mindset 378 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 2: made that possible because I just kept saying that over 379 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 2: and over. 380 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 3: And what did you say? You say, look, we just 381 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 3: because that sounds like to me. The circumstances are this, 382 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 3: Cheryl Bias, her and her husband buy several boxing franchises 383 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 3: or by boxing franchise, and I would imagine that is 384 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 3: a huge investment. And yes, and then when you make 385 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,239 Speaker 3: this investment, you think this is not for me. How 386 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 3: do I get out from up under that investment? And 387 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 3: then so you're saying you already knew that you were 388 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 3: leaving it, and you went about it in what way? 389 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 2: I started writing, Now, we received a perfect package for 390 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: this entity. I lived by dreams, and I remember how 391 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 2: lighted it over and over. I lived my dreams. That 392 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 2: wasn't my dream. I didn't realize that at the time, 393 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 2: and so when God lifted that from us through mindset, 394 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 2: through affirmation, I knew. I knew that if I could 395 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 2: do that, I could teach the people how to do it. 396 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 2: I could write books on it. I could let other 397 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 2: people know the power of the words, because people knew 398 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 2: exactly when you said that that was that was a 399 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 2: huge financal, financial sacrifice. And I have to tell you, 400 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 2: I even wrote down, we lose nothing, and we lose nothing. 401 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 2: And I have seen that happen so many times. And 402 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: you know you go through transitions of life, and I 403 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: have written that down. We lose nothing. I could tell you. 404 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: I even wrote down, my kids are able to stay 405 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: in their schools. Their lives are not disrupted by our decision. 406 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 2: I wrote it. They finished their schools. We never lost 407 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 2: our house, we never lost anything. There was no lack. Ever, 408 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 2: I wrote down, there is no lack in our life. 409 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 2: We receive preferential treatment. We received God inspired ideas that 410 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 2: produced millions of dollars and those things started manifesting. 411 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 3: Oh I love it. I know you know this. 412 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 2: I could feel your eelers in my spirit. I know 413 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 2: you know the power of work that you know the 414 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 2: power of when we see it before you see it. 415 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 3: But I have this is the question I have to 416 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 3: I believe it, I have lived it, I have examples 417 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 3: of it. But to your point. Putting it in practice 418 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 3: daily has been really are for me in terms of 419 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 3: sometimes you just forget, or sometimes you let your mind 420 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 3: get caught up in a circumstance or a situation, or 421 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 3: sometimes you feel a little discouraged. I feel a lot 422 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 3: of discourage, Like if I look at the world that 423 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 3: I look at politics and stay in my mind. I 424 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 3: go to work. Just the other day, I'll share this 425 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 3: with you. I was, I was on air. I work 426 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 3: as a contributor at CNN, and I was sitting next 427 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 3: to this man who was so dismissive and so smug, 428 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 3: and I wanted to reach smack out of him. Yes, 429 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 3: and that's not what I was supposed to do. And 430 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 3: that moment, when I thought about it over, it was 431 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 3: I am powerful, I am right, yes, and I am 432 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 3: his child, and I am protected, and I'm in a 433 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 3: safe space and I can say what I feel as 434 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 3: authentically as I feel. I didn't do that in a moment, 435 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 3: I got angry. So sometimes I'm there, but I'm catching myself. 436 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 3: If I text something that's not nice, I can edit 437 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 3: it out. I'm like, wait, hold on, that's not what 438 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 3: I meant to say. Let me redo that. You know 439 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 3: what I mean. I mean, it's just a journey and 440 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 3: it's not linear, and I just want to know in 441 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 3: those moments instead of reacting, how do you respond with 442 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 3: affirmations in the moment, in the moment. 443 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 2: Because it took training for me, because I have to 444 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 2: tell you, I feel exactly like you do when people 445 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: come sideways that meal social media. Yeah, whatever it is, 446 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 2: because you know, when you're a public figure, people feel 447 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 2: like they can say anything. But I've made a conscious 448 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 2: decision as a part of my affirmations that I arrest 449 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 2: that thought is immediately when I feel like it is 450 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 2: something that's coming at me. I have taught myself how 451 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 2: to arrest that thought. What does that mean? That means 452 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 2: that I will not let that whole that thought hold 453 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 2: me captive, because I've convinced myself in my mind that 454 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 2: if that holds me cap that I can't fulfill my purpose. 455 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 2: If that holds me cap if I can't fulfill my purpose. 456 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 2: The other part of what you were talking about earlier 457 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 2: is I've trained myself in such a way that I 458 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: don't do anything before I do my affirmations I have 459 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 2: in my mind my day will not go well. Hell, 460 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 2: I don't do this thing to pour into me. And 461 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 2: if I can't pour into me, I can't pour into 462 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: anybody else. I must make sure that my cup is full. 463 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: So my cup when it's full, and always give this analogy. 464 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 2: It's water all the way up to the top. There's 465 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 2: a saucer. Whatever is on the saucer is for the world. 466 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 2: Everything that's in the cup is for me. So if 467 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 2: there's nothing on the saucer, I can't give it to you. 468 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 2: So I know that we have to pour into ourselves first. 469 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 2: So I immediately know I cannot act out. This journey 470 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,479 Speaker 2: is too important to allow anyone to interrupt my journey. 471 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 2: I know I have a finite time here, and that's 472 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 2: what I keep telling myself every single day, and especially 473 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 2: when we talk about the second Act. I don't have 474 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 2: time to be interrupted. I don't have time to deal 475 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 2: with people who are not about life giving thoughts. I 476 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 2: just handle them and they're being toxic. Another way, I 477 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: offer an affirmation I need have for affirmation and affirmation 478 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 2: that says God please deal with And I name the people. 479 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, first last government name. 480 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 3: If I got your middle name, I'll do it too, Okay, 481 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 3: got it right, and it's brand. 482 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,719 Speaker 2: It's friing because our battle. And that's how I arrest 483 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 2: that thought. And it begins if we could just take 484 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 2: people it just with just starting say we talk ourselves 485 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 2: out of our destiny because we don't want to, we 486 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 2: don't even want to start. It starts with writing it down, 487 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 2: seeing it before, see it before you see it, see 488 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 2: your stage, play, see your field, see it happen to 489 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 2: pick the dress, all of those things. 490 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 3: I love that, and I will say this, use it. 491 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 3: Arrest the thought. I literally visualize someone being taken away 492 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 3: for doing something bad. So whenever there is this bad thought, 493 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 3: the visualization of me just arresting that and taking and 494 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 3: letting and letting justice handle it in another way, not 495 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 3: necessarily mice form of justice. Right the universe is justice, 496 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 3: God's justice. That's a beautiful thing to visualize. I'm going 497 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 3: to arrest this thought and then immediately repeat. 498 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 4: Every champion and car every champion is to be a champion, 499 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 4: a champion and carry champion and carry chat be out 500 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 4: a champion and carry champion and carry champion.

Tell me about the books that you have 515 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 2: been writing this entire time.

The second one was an ethology, the 518 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 2: third one was Affirmed, and then I did an anthology 519 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: with Nicki Woods, and and now I have my own 520 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 2: anthologies fourteen where I've helped over five hundred and seventy 521 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 2: three other people write their books.

And this is the unique thing 524 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 2: about the Art of Influence. It came about because people 525 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 2: were asking, how have you been able to do all 526 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 2: of these things and lead the life that you lead 527 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: and be kind and carrying towards people. So I wrote 528 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 2: a book called The Art of Influence, because I tell 529 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 2: people you don't have to be a celebrity to have influence. 530 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 2: All you have to do is go. I've gotten hotel 531 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 2: rooms for free, for smiling at people. I've got upgrades 532 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 2: for free. I've gotten wealthy donors to give me money 533 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 2: because of how I show up in the world. That's 534 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 2: the art of influence. So after the Art of Influence, 535 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 2: now I have Safe House, which is a about guarding 536 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 2: your home and not telling all your business to people, 537 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 2: guarding your marriage. 538 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 3: Say I like that, I like Savi do.

Women the Powers I'm in I just 548 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 2: was asked to be a speaker there.

I love that you already know 551 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 3: if you're listening right now, I'm gonna ask Cheryl to 552 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 3: give you some tips because it seems to me it's 553 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 3: too easy. It's just too easy to say out wow 554 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 3: what you are, and it's so so difficult at the 555 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 3: same time to say what you are in a positive way. 556 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 3: We beat ourselves up, we remind ourselves, well, we didn't 557 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 3: do right and I and I'm not going to I'm 558 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 3: going to arrest those thoughts. I am not perfect, but 559 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 3: I am loved and I am safe. So I ask you, 560 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 3: if someone's listening and they want to just start affirming themselves, 561 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 3: you say every morning two affirmations, five affirmations. It doesn't 562 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 3: have to even be a number. But every morning, is 563 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 3: there one affirmation that you should say to yourself or 564 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 3: throughout the day, is there one affirmation that any human being, man, woman, 565 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 3: or child should say to themselves? 566 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 2: Yes, this is it. I love me some meat, I 567 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 2: love it. It starts there. If you love you, everybody 568 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 2: else's extra and so many of us. We don't even 569 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 2: love ourselves. So I tell myself and I hug myself 570 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 2: every day, and I'd say, I love me some me, 571 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 2: I love me some meat, because sometimes that's all it takes. 572 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: If you love you, you can go out and conquer 573 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 2: the world. But if you feel like you have to 574 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 2: wait for the world to love you, you can accomplish anything. 575 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 2: So start with writing that one affirmation until you believe it, 576 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 2: and would you believe it? The other affirmations will come. 577 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 2: I am enough, I am worthy. I receive preferential treatment. 578 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 2: I'm at the right place at the right time. I 579 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 2: am a money magan. I received God inspire you. I 580 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 2: love that one. I received God inspy you ideas that 581 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 2: produce millions of dollars.

I expect the best because I am 583 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 2: the best. 584 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 3: Hey like that too?

NISI nashed 621 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 3: it up and said, I'd like to thank me. We 622 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 3: don't ever thank ourselves for the great things that we accomplish. 623 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 3: We just dismissed them. I think of the folks that 624 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 3: work on this podcast. I wonder if they thank themselves 625 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 3: for showing up, for being consistent, for being great, for 626 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 3: being kind. These are simple things, but if we remind 627 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 3: ourselves how remarkable we are. Not on some on all that, 628 00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 3: but on some I deserve, right, I do deserve. I 629 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 3: say that all the time. I deserve. I do not 630 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 3: feel bad when people give me great things or ask 631 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,280 Speaker 3: me about great things, or I'm rewarded financially, mentally, spiritually, 632 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 3: I'm like I deserve. I do deserve. It's not cocky. 633 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 2: It's the truth. 634 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 3: And if we take that positivity, I honestly believe into 635 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 3: our day to day lives, we all would be so 636 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 3: much happier. Here's the secret, though, are not even really 637 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,800 Speaker 3: a secret. Here's what I'm not addressing. So many of 638 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 3: us in this world today are challenged. Whether we're challenged 639 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 3: with our personal situations, work, family, home, we're challenged. So 640 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 3: many people are lonely, they don't feel seen, they don't 641 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 3: feel loved, and when we talk about our black and 642 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 3: brown women rarely seen, over policed. There's so much of 643 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 3: that that really breaks you down with dealing with day 644 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 3: to day life, and we have to remind ourselves what 645 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 3: we deserve and who we are. I love myself. I 646 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 3: love myself. I love myself. I hope you love yourself. 647 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 3: I really really needed doctor Scheryl today to remind me 648 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 3: of that, and that was so beautifully honest and naked. 649 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,720 Speaker 3: I hope today's podcast has done something for you. Listen 650 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 3: over and over again, because that was a speech a word. 651 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 3: I had to mute my phone. I was excuse me, 652 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 3: I had to mute my computer. I kept saying, aymen, 653 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 3: I thought I was in church.
