Speaker 1: Welcome to Checking In with Michelle Williams, a production of
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and The Black Effect.
Speaker 2: Hey y'all, what's up?
Speaker 1: Welcome to another extraordinary week of checking in. Every time
Speaker 1: I press the record button, I automatically enter into a
Speaker 1: state of gratitude because again, I cannot do what I
Speaker 1: do without y'all listening and downloading episodes, sharing the episodes,
Speaker 1: and even interacting with me via social media about the episode.
Speaker 2: So I'm really, really, really thankful.
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for the folks that repost, and just thankful
Speaker 1: even to the guests that take time out of their
Speaker 1: day and schedule, because listen, everybody's got something to do,
Speaker 1: everybody's got something going on. So I really really am
Speaker 1: thankful when someone says, you know what, of course I'll
Speaker 1: come on checking in this week.
Speaker 2: It's just me, and I'm actually.
Speaker 1: Recording from probably my top safe place I am at
Speaker 1: Living Waters. It's a spot in Hidnight, North Carolina. Midnight,
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Yep, it's called hid Night, North Carolina. You
Speaker 1: fly into Charlotte and it's like an hour hour and
Speaker 1: a half drive from Charlotte, or you can drive, and
Speaker 1: there are many times I've taken road trips from Atlanta,
Speaker 1: and it's like four and like a four and a
Speaker 1: half hour drive and I needed to be here. As
Speaker 1: we were kind of driving through these country roads, peace
Speaker 1: washed over me, anxiety melted off of me, and just
Speaker 1: to be in a safe space to rest.
Speaker 2: This place changed my life.
Speaker 1: There would not be a checking in book, a checking
Speaker 1: in podcast if it wasn't for Living Waters, if it
Speaker 1: wasn't for one of the retreats that is held here
Speaker 1: called Healing the Heart. And I quietly send people here
Speaker 1: just because of what it did for me. And you know,
Speaker 1: like I said, success did not heal the trauma that
Speaker 1: I buried, but it has allowed me to Success has
Speaker 1: allowed me to pay it forward. Meaning if something blessed
Speaker 1: me tremendously, if something changed my life, I have to
Speaker 1: tell people about it. I have to send people here.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when you had something really good
Speaker 1: to eat and you were like, trust me, matter of fact,
Speaker 1: it's on me. Go to this restaurant. I'll pay for it.
Speaker 1: That's how good it is. Like, that's what success can
Speaker 1: do for you. That's what success can do. So a
Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, I had a few things
Speaker 1: to say, you know, well, give me the success you
Speaker 1: got it heal my trauma. Trust and believe it will
Speaker 1: not It will only unearth some unhealed areas in you.
Speaker 1: And like I said, what success did for me, it
Speaker 1: allowed me to find resources. And so that's why I
Speaker 1: have to tell people I have to do. Anytime somebody
Speaker 1: wants me to speak about mental health and healing, I'm
Speaker 1: there because I know the impact that it's had on
Speaker 1: my life.
Speaker 2: So that's where I am.
Speaker 1: I'm actually upstairs in one of the amazing quiet sitting
Speaker 1: areas record.
Speaker 2: It's on maybe seventy acres of.
Speaker 1: Land, animals, horses, we're just added. My dog is here
Speaker 1: running around with one of the other dogs, and so
Speaker 1: it's so pretty. And I don't come here because something
Speaker 1: is wrong. I come here before something does go wrong.
Speaker 1: I come here to rest. I come here because I
Speaker 1: miss being up here. There are lots of times I'm
Speaker 1: here serving volunteering, and I'm in the kitchen a lot
Speaker 1: of the times and people are like, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: aren't you Michelle Williams, And I say, yes, I am.
Speaker 1: Would you like blue cheese or vinegarette? And they just
Speaker 1: crack up, because yes, that's This place means so much
Speaker 1: to me that I will be in the kitchen washing
Speaker 1: dishes or trying to spreadch the shredded cheese on the
Speaker 1: lasagna that's gonna be served later for dinner.
Speaker 2: So I love it here. That's why I kind of
Speaker 2: wanted to.
Speaker 1: Talk to y'all about I told y'all I'm here not
Speaker 1: because something is wrong, but because I felt like I
Speaker 1: needed rest. And I'm already gonna answer a question. Well,
Speaker 1: of course, Michelle, you can just take off and rest.
Speaker 1: You don't have a nine to five like I have.
Speaker 2: Well, for you, I just want to tell you.
Speaker 1: Can come here on the weekends. The retreats are Friday
Speaker 1: through Sunday. You can drive in after work, you can
Speaker 1: fly after work, and you can be here in time
Speaker 1: for dinner on Friday night and leave Sunday to be
Speaker 1: back in time for work on Monday. So I understand.
Speaker 1: But when I say rest, what are some forms of
Speaker 1: rest that a person can take who probably doesn't feel
Speaker 1: like they can just take off work during the week
Speaker 1: to rest. Now, there are some jobs who offer mental
Speaker 1: health days. For some reason, the computer that I use
Speaker 1: is not turning on. But there are mental health days
Speaker 1: that you can take during the week.
Speaker 2: To rest.
Speaker 1: So I noticed the different ways that I rest, and
Speaker 1: when I mean rest, I don't mean just being in
Speaker 1: the bed sleep. But that type of rest is some
Speaker 1: of the most healing, rejuvenating rest you can ever take.
Speaker 1: Because your body is healing, your mind prayer for me
Speaker 1: is not racing, and I know it takes people probably
Speaker 1: an hour or to even when you're in a sleep
Speaker 1: position of sleep, your mind is still racing, so some
Speaker 1: for some folks, it takes a long time before you
Speaker 1: can even really get into an amazing state of sleep
Speaker 1: and rest. But I kind of discovered a form of rest,
Speaker 1: which is maybe not answering your phone right away. When
Speaker 1: it answers literally you might have to send people to voicemail.
Speaker 1: A form of rest is like I'm not going to
Speaker 1: answer this message right away. You are allowing yourself to rest.
Speaker 1: There are certain times when I know I need rest,
Speaker 1: when I'm like, I can't answer this email right away.
Speaker 1: It's not an emergency. I'm going to rest my mind.
Speaker 1: What is another form of rest? In music form, rest
Speaker 1: literally means there's nothing between this beat and the next beat,
Speaker 1: there's nothing between this note and the next note.
Speaker 2: You rest.
Speaker 1: It's a little squiggly line. If you can read music,
Speaker 1: you know exactly what I'm talking talking about. Rest, Take
Speaker 1: a beat, take a minute, take a second. Another form
Speaker 1: of rest is a decision you may make not to
Speaker 1: engage or try to be the problem solver for someone. Rest,
Speaker 1: rest your mouth, Rest the words that you know you
Speaker 1: can speak into a situation. You're gonna rest, You're not
Speaker 1: gonna try to fix it. My therapist said something to
Speaker 1: me so amazing. Do I want to tell it because.
Speaker 2: She needs to? Yeah, I'm not gonna tell it.
Speaker 1: She needs to patent license to trademark this this phrase
Speaker 1: that she said to me.
Speaker 2: But basically the phrase.
Speaker 1: That she said means, do not feel you have to
Speaker 1: be responsible or take on responsibility for what someone shares
Speaker 1: with you. So when someone shares something with you that's
Speaker 1: something tough that they're going through, if you're really an impath,
Speaker 1: you can feel what it's doing to someone you take on.
Speaker 1: If their heartbroken, you feel heartbroken. If they're sad, you
Speaker 1: get sad, And nothing is wrong with that. But I
Speaker 1: think what happens is when you just daily take it on.
Speaker 1: When you daily then you start being fixated on someone
Speaker 1: else's situation. And sometimes people get so fixated on someone's situation.
Speaker 1: That breakdown that that person can have is because they've
Speaker 1: reached their capacity. They've overloaded themselves with another person's issue
Speaker 1: when they have already have something on their plate that
Speaker 1: they need to work on. Rest It doesn't mean you
Speaker 1: ignore somebody. It doesn't mean you dismiss what someone is
Speaker 1: going through. You just decide to rest, meaning I've made
Speaker 1: it decision, and not to try to.
Speaker 2: Be the problem solver, even if I believe.
Speaker 1: That my solution is going to really make a difference
Speaker 1: in that person's life.
Speaker 2: Rest.
Speaker 1: Maybe give them the solution or the suggestion if they
Speaker 1: ask for it, or if they ask for the solution
Speaker 1: or suggestion and you're just tired and you need to rest,
Speaker 1: tell them, Hey, give me to end of day and
Speaker 1: I'll get back to you. But just know that I
Speaker 1: do have something that I think could work for you.
Speaker 2: You just have to kind of take a beat.
Speaker 1: So I'm here resting, I am here resetting, I'm here recalibrating.
Speaker 1: There's been so many great things going on, and I
Speaker 1: want to be able to steward it well. But I
Speaker 1: can if I'm I'm tired, I can't. If I haven't rested.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 1: I just literally it's the phrase when they say I can't,
Speaker 1: it's like I can't. So I wanted to rest before
Speaker 1: I do have a breakdown. I wanted to rest before
Speaker 1: I find myself in a state of depression.
Speaker 2: And you know, you have to you have to be
Speaker 2: self aware, you have to know.
Speaker 1: Yep, it's time for me to unplug, and it's time
Speaker 1: for me to go sit by the river.
Speaker 2: It's time for me.
Speaker 1: To unplug, and it's time for me to just sit
Speaker 1: on my sofa and watch my favorite television show. It's
Speaker 1: time for me to unplug, and it's time for me
Speaker 1: to just sit in an amazing jacuzzi or my bathtub
Speaker 1: with the bubbles and candles. You know what is best
Speaker 1: for you to rest, and if you don't know, you
Speaker 1: need to discover what's your safe space. So I have
Speaker 1: no problem with that. So I've been resting, y'all. I've
Speaker 1: been resting, and I missed going to London for the
Speaker 1: Renaissance tour. Had so much going on and I wanted
Speaker 1: to be there. So now I'm like, Okay, the dates
Speaker 1: that I can make is warsaw and or Toronto.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't really consider. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: figure out if I've ever seen Be perform on tour
Speaker 2: in Europe, and I don't think I have. And you know,
Speaker 2: I really wanted to go. But y'all will see me.
Speaker 2: We're gonna, We're gonna be there, We're gonna be there.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm excited, I so much.
Speaker 1: So many family and friends have gone, and I've just
Speaker 1: I really wanted to be be in London for sure,
Speaker 1: because London was the first place that I toured internationally
Speaker 1: with Destiny's Child. I'll never forget we did a performance
Speaker 1: at Shepherd's Bush and I'll never forget getting out of
Speaker 1: the mini van and someone had my name on a
Speaker 1: poster board.
Speaker 2: So London just it has a very, very very special
Speaker 2: place in my heart.
Speaker 1: So that's why I really wanted to go to London.
Speaker 1: So I am nearing the end of my rest because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be in Washington, DC over the weekend doing
Speaker 1: something amazing at the Kennedy Center and tribute to Marvin
Speaker 1: gay And so I have been tasked to do about
Speaker 1: four or five songs of with various artists, Marvin Gaye
Speaker 1: and Tammy Terrell. I'm excited because I get to do a.
Speaker 2: Song with Balao.
Speaker 1: Now, when this upcoming week approach, I was like, I'm tired.
Speaker 2: I've got to.
Speaker 1: Really you know, I'm looking over the sheet music and
Speaker 1: I'm getting so overwhelmed, Like, Okay, I've got to learn
Speaker 1: these lyrics, right, I gotta learn the music. So I
Speaker 1: have to be in a state of rest so that
Speaker 1: when I have my performances Friday and Saturday, I'm giving
Speaker 1: it my all. I'm giving it my all. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna be rehearsing Thursday and then I think a show
Speaker 1: on Friday and two on Saturday or something like that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, auditions and all kinds of amazing things that
Speaker 1: are coming my way. So I have to rest so
Speaker 1: that I can be the best that I can be.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna pause, and I want you to reflect.
Speaker 1: Do you need to rest?
Speaker 2: How do you know when it is time for you
Speaker 2: to rest? Do you wait till you've blow up and
Speaker 2: gone off on somebody, you're irritable, your edgy? How do
Speaker 2: you know when you need to rest? Maybe you're short.
Speaker 1: With people and they're like, wait a minute, why are
Speaker 1: you being mean? And by the way, that those are
Speaker 1: symptoms of depression. Too, by the way, but sometimes they
Speaker 1: are literally just symptoms of lack of rest. You're doing
Speaker 1: too much, that's how you know. So just kind of
Speaker 1: reflect how can you rest well?
Speaker 2: Michelle. I live with my siblings, or I live with
Speaker 2: my husband, or I live with my wife, I live
Speaker 2: with my partner, I live with my spouse, and it's
Speaker 2: a lot. As soon as I walk through the door,
Speaker 2: I've got to feed the kids, I've got to take
Speaker 2: the dogs out, I've got to do this, I've got
Speaker 2: to do that. I got homework.
Speaker 1: I'm some of you are maybe studying for your masters
Speaker 1: or your bachelor's or a doctorates, and you're just like, I've.
Speaker 2: Got so much to do, and you work full time.
Speaker 1: Are there pockets where you can rest? As I'm walking
Speaker 1: around this lodge, there are so many live plants, and
Speaker 1: I'm walking around as we speak, I'm recording in a
Speaker 1: different way, a way I've never recorded before, and I'm
Speaker 1: just seeing these are.
Speaker 2: Ways you can rest. Pouring water in the plants, doing
Speaker 2: something that kind of calms and sooths It takes don't
Speaker 2: take much for you to get a picture of water
Speaker 2: and water some plants. It doesn't take much for you
Speaker 2: to get a picture of water and water yourself. What
Speaker 2: does watering yourself look like?
Speaker 3: Rest?
Speaker 2: Maybe deciding you're not gonna try to be superman or
Speaker 2: superwoman for one day, but you are going to rest.
Speaker 1: Why don't we take about thirty seconds starting now, a rest.
Speaker 1: You are in a safe space as long as you're
Speaker 1: listening to this. To rest, you don't have to solve
Speaker 1: problems right now.
Speaker 2: You can rest. You have no worries. Right now, you
Speaker 2: can rest. Your prayers will be answered, you can rest,
Speaker 2: continue resting. My body knows, like.
Speaker 1: Even the breath that just came out, I've trained my
Speaker 1: body to just exhale. Many times friends have said, girl,
Speaker 1: what are you doing. It's like my body knows when
Speaker 1: it needs to exhale and knows when it needs to
Speaker 1: inhale anxiety and exhale peace.
Speaker 2: In hell, the worry, exhale peace. Yeah, I'm resting, and
Speaker 2: I want you guys to rest as well. So many
Speaker 2: people are on summer vacation. Kids are out of school,
Speaker 2: and hopefully you know you are deciding to take a
Speaker 2: vacation somewhere be buy some water. There's a particular other
Speaker 2: place that I love.
Speaker 1: To go to as well, And it's like immediately when
Speaker 1: I stepped foot and I see the ocean, I can
Speaker 1: just ooh go into a state of rest.
Speaker 2: So I hope y'all have kind of enjoyed this unique.
Speaker 1: Episode of checking in as it relates to rest. This episode,
Speaker 1: if I'm really being transparent and honest, is a little
Speaker 1: later than normal.
Speaker 2: It's a little late in being uploaded.
Speaker 1: Because I needed to rest, y'all, and so I wanted
Speaker 1: this episode to be truly honest and so organic of
Speaker 1: the state that I'm in as it relates to rest.
Speaker 1: And that's one of the reasons why I ended up
Speaker 1: in a treatment facility for depression because I didn't rest.
Speaker 1: I thought rest was weak. There's this say that says,
Speaker 1: while you were sleeping, I was grinding. Well, baby, I
Speaker 1: have no shame in taking a nap because I know me.
Speaker 1: I know that I'll go go, go, go go. It's
Speaker 1: like an energizer, bunny, raise your hand. If you can relate,
Speaker 1: you'll go go go go, go, go, go, go go go.
Speaker 2: And then you need to be recharged. And then you
Speaker 2: look around.
Speaker 1: You don't have nobody to recharge you, so you've got
Speaker 1: to recharge yourself. And I totally understand deadlines and I
Speaker 1: was thinking, you know what, I'm not gonna do an
Speaker 1: episode today. But it's like, girl, you have a weekly show.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Oprah?
Speaker 2: And then we're like, no, I'm not going to do
Speaker 2: a show today.
Speaker 1: Girl, you got to do a show. It's too early
Speaker 1: to be doing reruns, So do a show. But you
Speaker 1: gotta rest.
Speaker 2: You have to rest, You have to rest. So that
Speaker 2: is just what has been going on.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about again, everything that's coming my way,
Speaker 1: this show that's coming up this weekend, and y'all, I
Speaker 1: need an idea for my birthday. My birthday is July
Speaker 1: twenty third. I will be Lord, can I believe? Guess
Speaker 1: how oh I'm gonna be?
Speaker 2: I have to rest and accept that I will.
Speaker 1: Be turning forty four. What should I do for my birthday?
Speaker 1: The cool thing about my birthday this year is that
Speaker 1: it's July twenty third, in the year twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: How cool is that? So I've got to do something amazing.
Speaker 2: It's got to be amazing.
Speaker 1: I'm not someone I didn't when I turned forty. I
Speaker 1: almost didn't do a birthday party because you know, I
Speaker 1: was like, everybody's schedules are so busy and this I
Speaker 1: have to get out of this.
Speaker 2: I was like, is anybody gonna come to my birthday dinner?
Speaker 2: Ain't that horrible? I need counseling about that.
Speaker 1: Actually, I think we did do a counseling session where
Speaker 1: I had a fear of how I show up for
Speaker 1: everybody else? But I have this fear that no one's
Speaker 1: gonna show up for me.
Speaker 2: Ain't that horrible?
Speaker 1: There are certain ideas that I've had, but I've been
Speaker 1: afraid to do them because I'm like, is anybody going
Speaker 1: to show up to it?
Speaker 2: Right? Does anybody ever feel that way?
Speaker 1: But it's like, this is a god given idea, and
Speaker 1: I know I'm supposed to do it, So it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have a god given idea,
Speaker 1: and then I'd be embarrassed when I presented. I don't
Speaker 1: think God would embarrass me. I just I just yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to do something pretty unique this year
Speaker 1: for my birthday. So if y'all have any ideas, let
Speaker 1: me know.
Speaker 2: All right, so I do.
Speaker 1: I definitely want you guys to be intentional about resting. Okay,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I think I gotta left. This is
Speaker 1: real time y'all. A tractor has gone by. They are
Speaker 1: They said it was heyday today, meaning they had to
Speaker 1: reel in the bills of hay. And so I'm on, y'all.
Speaker 1: This is literally kind of like an amazing house that
Speaker 1: sits on a land and a farm. So I could
Speaker 1: not wait to get up here to record, to tell
Speaker 1: y'all where I'm recording. So and I knew y'all might
Speaker 1: hear a tractor. I was afraid that you might hear
Speaker 1: a goat. I've taken a few pictures. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I've posted a picture or two while I've been
Speaker 1: up here at the retreat. But hey, I want to
Speaker 1: invite you to a retreat. Okay, I want to invite
Speaker 1: you to a retreat here at Living Waters.
Speaker 2: Okay, just google Healing the Heart Retreat, and you have
Speaker 2: to get here pretty soon.
Speaker 1: I hope to maybe in twenty twenty four do some
Speaker 1: of my own.
Speaker 2: But if you cannot wait until twenty twenty four, and
Speaker 2: you know your soul needs rest, you know your heart
Speaker 2: needs healing, I'm telling you. I'm telling you come here now.
Speaker 2: I told a pastor de nice Box, I said there
Speaker 2: would be no check again if it wasn't for healing
Speaker 2: the heart. This place just blew me away. You know.
Speaker 2: Am I still in therapy? Yes?
Speaker 1: Was I going to therapy before I came here to
Speaker 1: Healing the Heart? Yes, But it gave me so much
Speaker 1: perspective and tons of answers that I've never received in therapy.
Speaker 1: If I had one hundred and fifty questions when I
Speaker 1: got here, I probably got three hundred answers.
Speaker 2: That's how much this place has changed my life.
Speaker 1: I want at least one person to promise me you're
Speaker 1: gonna come to this retreat.
Speaker 2: It's called healing the Heart. You have to come.
Speaker 1: You have to come, Okay, and again, assure me that
Speaker 1: you are gonna rest this week.
Speaker 2: Okay. You're not gonna entertain every phone call.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna entertain somebody else's baby mama or baby
Speaker 1: daddy drama.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna entertain somebody else's workplace. Shenan. Again, You're
Speaker 2: gonna rest.
Speaker 1: We are in a state of information overload, even.
Speaker 2: What you eat.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, rest from social media for like a day
Speaker 1: or two. I do it all the time, and I
Speaker 1: know sometimes it makes me go days maybe without posting something.
Speaker 2: But I promise you your social media page will still be
Speaker 2: there should you decide to rest.
Speaker 1: All right, you don't have to know everything that's going on,
Speaker 1: you really don't. I don't have to know everything that's
Speaker 1: going on, especially if does it affect my pay why
Speaker 1: am I worried about it? Then you can go without
Speaker 1: social media for a day. Social media is so important.
Speaker 1: I've met some of the most beautiful souls. I've been
Speaker 1: able to stay connected with so many of y'all who
Speaker 1: have supported me even before there was social media. You
Speaker 1: know how we used to connect when y'all would be
Speaker 1: outside the door waiting on us to come out, and
Speaker 1: we'd be like, oh my gosh, hey, we'd hug and
Speaker 1: exchange gifts or y'all would so. But now I love
Speaker 1: how social media allows me to stay connected to those
Speaker 1: who have been just so amazing to me for twenty
Speaker 1: plus years. So I'm not saying just disconnect from social media,
Speaker 1: but try it for a day and rest. Rest, rest, please,
Speaker 1: and just watch amazing, inspiring television. Some of my favorite
Speaker 1: shows are like home renovation shows or when people are
Speaker 1: beach house hunting, you know, and I'm hoping they choose
Speaker 1: the one that I think that they should choose right.
Speaker 1: So it's things like that that are so exciting, exhilarating
Speaker 1: and inspiring, and I think we need to rest, you guys,
Speaker 1: I really, really really think we need to rest.
Speaker 2: So thank y'all so much.
Speaker 1: For being with me today on this episode of Checking

Speaker 2: Terill Show. I was so nervous.
Speaker 1: He's been asking me for Oh I'm am ashamed going
Speaker 1: on three years, and I was so fearful of going
Speaker 1: on the show because I felt that I was so
Speaker 1: I'll even say that I was so I've been far
Speaker 1: away from my catalog of music. Y'all will see on
Speaker 1: the show. That's how far away from my catalog of
Speaker 1: music because he would say something and not be like,
Speaker 1: what is that? And he's like, that's in your song
Speaker 1: so and so, and I'm like, oh, yeah, I did,
Speaker 1: Oh I did say that. Oh I even songs that
Speaker 1: I wrote, and I'm like, oh, that's what it was.
Speaker 2: But He's had so much any.
Speaker 1: Great artists and vocalists on the show, and I was
Speaker 1: just having a moment like, am I gonna measure up
Speaker 1: to all these amazing vocalists that he has on the show.
Speaker 1: So guess what I said. I can't keep making excuses.
Speaker 1: I've got to go on his show. And I'm so
Speaker 1: glad I did. I can't wait for y'all.
