Speaker 1: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. You are tuned into
Speaker 1: the Vitamin D with Dawn Day podcast and I am
Speaker 1: your host, Dawn Day, here to get you excited about
Speaker 1: your life so that you can live life on purpose
Speaker 1: and for a purpose. And this is your first time
Speaker 1: tuning in and voco Vitamin D. It's a fun of
Speaker 1: our name. My name is Dawn and you get Vitamin
Speaker 1: D from the sun. So I'm here to shed light
Speaker 1: into your life. And I do this with inspirational insights
Speaker 1: and conversations with celebrities and everyday people like you and me,
Speaker 1: because if you want to be better and you want
Speaker 1: to do better, then you're going to have to be
Speaker 1: able to see better. So join me on this journey
Speaker 1: of living our best lives and understanding and realizing how
Speaker 1: you are your greatest stats. Do look have occurred to
Speaker 1: you that right now, at this very moment, is the
Speaker 1: youngest that you will ever be like. You will never
Speaker 1: get a moment like this again. And I guess it's
Speaker 1: something to really think about, because I'm sure all of
Speaker 1: us are so guilty of putting things off, waiting for
Speaker 1: a better moment, a better time, a better space, rather
Speaker 1: than season what we have right now, and as time
Speaker 1: goes by, you look at this tomorrow, then is next
Speaker 1: to be the next, next month, in hey, it's even
Speaker 1: the next year, and it's like, no, we need to
Speaker 1: act right now. I was watching this video. It was
Speaker 1: on Instagram and this lady was talking about life and
Speaker 1: she compared it to alphabets and she said, you know,
Speaker 1: life is through B through D and I was like,
Speaker 1: what she said, B is birth and then you go
Speaker 1: on to death. But in between, that's the sea. That's
Speaker 1: the choice. And it makes me think we have a
Speaker 1: choice every day to live our best life, and not
Speaker 1: just one, not two, not three, but eighty six thousand,
Speaker 1: four hundred choices, because there are eighty six thousand, four
Speaker 1: hundred seconds and every day, what are you doing or
Speaker 1: how are you making your choices? And believe it or not,
Speaker 1: the choice not to make a choice as a choice
Speaker 1: of itself, and that's a choice where you just stuck.
Speaker 1: And I'm calling for more. I want more for you.
Speaker 1: I want you to get in the driver's seat of
Speaker 1: your life and make a decision. Whatever you're feeling in
Speaker 1: that moment, just do it and follow through with it.
Speaker 1: Stop waiting on the perfect opportunity. Stop waiting on the
Speaker 1: perfect moment, just sees a moment, because you will never
Speaker 1: get a moment like this. I'm gonna be honest, I'm
Speaker 1: guilty for ones to be indecisive. I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: I've made the right decision or if there's a better
Speaker 1: decision out there. And as i am in my meditation process,
Speaker 1: as I'm more grounded, as as I'm realizing that whatever
Speaker 1: decision that is made, it is right for right now.
Speaker 1: And that's what I want you to do. I want
Speaker 1: you to see this moment right now, because yeah, sometimes
Speaker 1: it's difficult to make a decision. Yeah it hurts to change,
Speaker 1: and yeah it hurts to stay the same. So what
Speaker 1: are you gonna choose with your dash? You know, because
Speaker 1: that's the dates that we see on the tombstone write
Speaker 1: the birth and the death. But then that's the dash,
Speaker 1: that's the choice, that's the life, that's the story. What's
Speaker 1: your story gonna say about right now? And I want
Speaker 1: to have you chew on this. Whatever you're going through,
Speaker 1: remember this, Let every situation be what it is instead
Speaker 1: of what you think it should be. Okay, And when
Speaker 1: you operate and living that way, you realize that all
Speaker 1: you got is right now, now, right now, get your
Speaker 1: rightem andy right with me, and get excited about you.
Speaker 1: My birthday is April nineteen. I don't even know how
Speaker 1: I got this old? How did this happen? How is
Speaker 1: it that I'm turning thirty six this year? You know,
Speaker 1: for so long, I always tried to avoid saying my age,
Speaker 1: like somebody can't google something. You know, you can't have
Speaker 1: business these days because you got your classmates and everybody
Speaker 1: else throwing up picture something. I was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: remember this when Flashback Friday TV T. But damn, don't
Speaker 1: let you just get old like that. And I know,
Speaker 1: for the most part, it's still young. But I don't
Speaker 1: know when I hit that thirty five, Like when you
Speaker 1: say thirty five, it like hits a little different. You know. Shoot,
Speaker 1: I'm going on the other side. I'm going listen, I'm
Speaker 1: peeking through in them like thirties. And I don't know
Speaker 1: how I felt about it. You know, last year I
Speaker 1: kept saying, I can't believe that I'm entering the age.
Speaker 1: And when I met my mother, because my mother had
Speaker 1: me when she was thirty five, and it was an
Speaker 1: understanding of thinking, like you know, you meet your parents,
Speaker 1: you have your parents, and you think they're so grown
Speaker 1: they know everything, and it's like, Okay, this is who
Speaker 1: she was, or these are the things that she was facing,
Speaker 1: this is how her brain was making up to be.
Speaker 1: Because twenty five year old Dawn. I had no clue
Speaker 1: the thirty six. I don't know where I I thought
Speaker 1: I would be at thirty six. Hell, I don't even
Speaker 1: know if I imagine what the age of thirty six
Speaker 1: would be. What do we feel like? But I'm grateful
Speaker 1: and I make sure I say that a lot, because
Speaker 1: they say gratitude is everything. The more things that you're
Speaker 1: grateful for, the more things you have to be grateful for.
Speaker 1: And I'm grateful for time. I'm grateful for this damn
Speaker 1: growth because it's very uncomfortable. But I'm stepping into a
Speaker 1: knowing of Dawn. I'm stepping up the point of versie.
Speaker 1: I didn't get a point of peace with Dawn, and
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool. I feel things more passionately. I
Speaker 1: see myself really honoring my vulnerability, and what I mean
Speaker 1: by honoring that, showing up, allowing myself to be seen,
Speaker 1: and giving myself permission to show out. I was at
Speaker 1: yoga with Walt good l A and during your meditation
Speaker 1: as Gentleman's Soul, he let it. I broke down in
Speaker 1: tears because he played a track from his album I actually,
Speaker 1: I probably need to get him on the podcast. It
Speaker 1: was entitled Rise and Trying, and immediately I thought of
Speaker 1: Vitamin D and I thought about the importance of taking
Speaker 1: up space. I thought about the protence of understanding that
Speaker 1: you're worthy, the importance of giving yourself permission to grow. Oftentimes,
Speaker 1: I think we put so much pressure on arriving and
Speaker 1: showing up as whatever the end product is, but we
Speaker 1: bypass the beauty and the part of the growth that
Speaker 1: got us to that point. To understand why the arrival
Speaker 1: is so important, To understand that your location is not
Speaker 1: your destination, to to understand that there's always more than
Speaker 1: where you are right now, but the gift is in
Speaker 1: the now so that you can't see more. But I
Speaker 1: realized that I have more younger years behind me then
Speaker 1: in front of me, and that's okay. I'm grateful for
Speaker 1: where I am right now. I even think back and
Speaker 1: I said, like, oh, I wish I could have done
Speaker 1: things differently, But it's amazing when you have a piece
Speaker 1: or an understanding that the things are happening the way
Speaker 1: that they're supposed to happen, along with breaking down in
Speaker 1: tears and meditation. I wrote down in tears, I just
Speaker 1: met this gentleman um at one of our friend's house
Speaker 1: and it was like a kip back, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about aspirations of you know what I'm doing
Speaker 1: SNL and I want to be on SNL and I'm
Speaker 1: studying improv at the ground links and I was just
Speaker 1: saying how it's developed me so much of myself and
Speaker 1: my growth of receiving, being in the moment and listening.
Speaker 1: And I said, how I have another gentleman Christian who
Speaker 1: implored to say, hey, can you help me develop these
Speaker 1: characters because I'm determined. And I was talking to this
Speaker 1: guy at the kickback. He looked at me, he said,
Speaker 1: I can see it. I said what he said, I
Speaker 1: can see it? I said, you can see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: He said yes, and I stopped. I did dawn linked back,
Speaker 1: cross my my hand over my wrist, turn my head
Speaker 1: to the side and looked at him. I was like,
Speaker 1: you're serious. And then I went in for an embracing
Speaker 1: as I hugged and I just began to cry, and
Speaker 1: I told him, I said, thank you for seeing me,
Speaker 1: thank you for making room for me. And I'm wondering, like,
Speaker 1: are you making room for yourself? Are you making room
Speaker 1: for yourself to show up and show up? Because that's
Speaker 1: what I'm giving to Dawn as I'm riding to thirty six,
Speaker 1: as I'm going to thirty six and beyond. I just
Speaker 1: want to make room for her, make room for her
Speaker 1: to show up as she is, make room for her
Speaker 1: to make mistakes, make room for her to grow, make
Speaker 1: room for her to exist, make room for her to
Speaker 1: just be. It's a beautiful thing to be. And in
Speaker 1: my being I can inspire. In my being and my vision,
Speaker 1: somebody can say they can see what I see, And
Speaker 1: because it's not right here tangibly in front of me,
Speaker 1: that means that's the vision. And the vision is so
Speaker 1: grandiose that somebody outside of my body know me less
Speaker 1: than twenty four hours, probably been in my presence, maybe
Speaker 1: two I can say I can see what you see.
Speaker 1: My God. It puts a different level of excitement of
Speaker 1: the present and why I'm so grateful for everything to
Speaker 1: lead up to where it is right now, And that's
Speaker 1: why I say gratitude is everything. The more grateful you are,
Speaker 1: the more things you have to be grateful for. So
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what thirties said, it's about the brain. I
Speaker 1: just want to show up, and I'm excited for this
Speaker 1: level of patients and making room to receive people. I've
Speaker 1: realized that previous dawn we'll get a bit annoyed and
Speaker 1: upset if I felt like someone didn't show up the
Speaker 1: way I expected them to show up, or what I
Speaker 1: put the pressures on them to show up, rather than
Speaker 1: just making room for them to show up as they
Speaker 1: are and then deciding as to whether or not I
Speaker 1: would like to sign up for. It becomes more clear
Speaker 1: that way. I think it becomes more peaceful that way,
Speaker 1: because rather than trying to change who you are, why
Speaker 1: don't give yourself permission to be who you are so
Speaker 1: I can see who you are because we're all asking
Speaker 1: to be seen. It's the same dawing that was being
Speaker 1: seen that broke down in tears when the guy said
Speaker 1: I can see what you see. I I really learned that,
Speaker 1: And you know, it's kind of frustrating because we have
Speaker 1: our our idea of how people should be, how they
Speaker 1: should approach us, how they should communicate with us, how
Speaker 1: they should deal with us. But I want you to
Speaker 1: try something, give them space to be. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: doing for me, and I implore you to do that
Speaker 1: for yourself, and I hope that in return, somebody does
Speaker 1: that for you so that you can move freely, so
Speaker 1: that you can breathe. And if we rock and study,
Speaker 1: then that means that we're in the vibration, and that
Speaker 1: means that it can work. But I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: force anything that doesn't work. I don't want to put
Speaker 1: any puzzles where it don't fit. I want to have
Speaker 1: the understanding that if I have to make myself back
Speaker 1: around to it, I will. Another thing about thirty six,
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I'm so grateful. I'm so proud of you,
Speaker 1: don I'm so proud of what you're doing with your
Speaker 1: fitness and how you decide to show up for yourself.
Speaker 1: I'm a do annoy right now with myself, though, I
Speaker 1: will say that, but I'm gonna give grace because I've
Speaker 1: been creeping, because I've been eating. But I do understand
Speaker 1: it's balanced and enjoying life. But I've been creeping. I
Speaker 1: don't know what. Why is it that when we're almost
Speaker 1: at the finished line that we almost quit or sometimes
Speaker 1: get in our way with things? I'm not sure, but
Speaker 1: I guess if you fall down, you get up. Fall
Speaker 1: on seven, get up. Eight ain't too late to be
Speaker 1: great because you can't fail if you don't quit. So
Speaker 1: I'm doing really well. I've never seen this, never before.
Speaker 1: It's an adult on the scale. I'll give an update
Speaker 1: and lets you know why I started and what I
Speaker 1: am soon. But I'm almost there because it's almost April nineteen,
Speaker 1: and that's the final way in What else do I
Speaker 1: want to share about this birthday coming up? Um? I'm
Speaker 1: welcoming the notion of how powerful manifestation is. I'm manifesting,
Speaker 1: and I noticed how the waters around me are, say
Speaker 1: so chaonic. But like I said before, my focus is
Speaker 1: just to keep my head above water. And it's been great.
Speaker 1: I'm meeting a different realm with people. Hell, I'm meeting
Speaker 1: myself in different ways and it's great, and I'm excited
Speaker 1: for what's next to it. We're gonna do with vitamin
Speaker 1: DVA throw one day. It should be cool. I'm excited
Speaker 1: to share more things with you. It should be cool,
Speaker 1: but um, I'm more excited to discover some more of me,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, so that's what's going on. Dawn's about
Speaker 1: to be thirty six. Ain't that some ship? I know?
Speaker 1: But we are out here. Leading up to this point
Speaker 1: has been very entrying, but it's very beautiful, and I
Speaker 1: hope you give yourself space to be beautiful too, and
Speaker 1: celebrate your moments and being president in your moment, and
Speaker 1: give yourself space to relish in your moment, to exist
Speaker 1: in your moment, and to be in your moment. You
Speaker 1: feel me, Yeah, that's gonna be thirty six. We're still
Speaker 1: going for a bun next, exceedingly and beyond, and we're
Speaker 1: making wrong that's what we're doing. All right. Let me
Speaker 1: jump in this vitor box and see what we got.
Speaker 1: Shake shack, shirt, shake, shake, shake, shake your bread. Alright,
Speaker 1: I'm opening it up. Okay, okay. What is this a challenge?
Speaker 1: I guess so when you think of a challenge, you
Speaker 1: always think of at obstacle of something that's hard to
Speaker 1: get in your way, something that's meant to stop you. Right,
Speaker 1: But let's adjust if you want to look at the challenge,
Speaker 1: is something that you have to conquer, not something that's
Speaker 1: here to stop you, something that's actually to pull you
Speaker 1: to say you gotta get over because the challenge is
Speaker 1: only something that's gonna make you stronger. It gives you
Speaker 1: a different perspective, It gives you a different way to
Speaker 1: view something because it's challenging you to see it in
Speaker 1: a different way. So now it becomes that you gotta
Speaker 1: adjust your game and you to move with it because
Speaker 1: now it's time to strategize. And it kind of reminds
Speaker 1: me or it it aligns with the fact of the
Speaker 1: idea of why you should never get too comfortable because
Speaker 1: challenges will always come your way and you gotta stay ready.
Speaker 1: You stay ready by staying alert. You stay alert by
Speaker 1: stayling your toes, You stay alert by keeping your eyes open.
Speaker 1: So keeping your ears open, you stay alert, and you
Speaker 1: stay ready for the challenge by being present and therefore realized.
Speaker 1: And that's what the gift lies. So I challenge you
Speaker 1: to be great. That's what I want to challenge you with.
Speaker 1: Do it so that you gotta conquer it, so there's
Speaker 1: no other option for you to be great, And even like, hey,
Speaker 1: don but what does it mean to be great? Well,
Speaker 1: they say, if you want to be great, you have
Speaker 1: to do things that great people do well. Don What
Speaker 1: are things that great people do well? Great people do
Speaker 1: things that every day people don't do. So that's why
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, do you want to be great?
Speaker 1: Because greatness resides and each and every one of us.
Speaker 1: I see it in me? Do you see in you?
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some housekeeping. I want to
Speaker 1: implore you guys, if you'd like to be a guest
