Speaker 1 (00:01):
They say life is the greatest teacher, because first you
take the test and then you learn the lesson. So
then why don't we have more patience? Then why are
we allowing ourselves to be subject to anxiety instead? Why
aren't we making space essentially giving ourselves grace to learn,
to improve, to reflect, to experience something that we've never experienced.

(00:26):
In fact, it's almost as though we put ourselves in
this sense of insanity because we do the same thing,
expecting different results, and then sometimes expecting different results while
doing the same things, or perhaps nothing at all. Listen,
the fact of the matter is is that you're going
to make mistakes. You're not perfect. You are what be

(00:48):
called human, just like the rest of us. So what
kind of measurement or what kind of ridicule are you
holding yourself with? When I think about and I think
about space, I think of possibility, and I think of opportunity,
and I think oftentimes we strike ourselves out of a

(01:09):
situation because perhaps we feel as though we're not enough,
perhaps we don't feel like we deserve another chance, or
perhaps we've looked to our left and are right. We
looked at what's in front of us, and definitely have
looked what's behind us and said, hey, and why not worthy? Well,
I'm here to remind you God ain't done. We just
getting started. It made me think of the track God

(01:30):
Ain't Done. It's by Miles Minnick, Sam Rivera and DJ Molsky.
Sometimes you got to bring God in your situation and
realize that it's not meant for you to handle it
all by yourself. Now you say, don well wait a minute,
what if I'm not religious? Hold up, slow down, Jim Shoe.
I'm not talking about religion. I'm talking about a faith

(01:52):
or a belief, something I side of you, whatever that
piece that's saying you know what, it's gonna be good
or what is that piece that you realize is that
there's nothing more than you can do. So guess what.
You gotta sit back so you can be good. You
gotta remind yourself my God ain't done. We just getting started.
And when you invite God or another entity outside of

(02:13):
you where you are not in control, well you can say,
if my God's in it, then you know is big
because it's outside of you. So remember, and I quote,
God ain't done with you, even if they try to
cancel you out, and even that's that person as you
all right, it's that damn Dawn like the break of day,

Happy first day, Oh child, I'm feeling like a new woman. Hey,
miss mine, I see you on Facebook? How you doing

tuning in watching on live. I am saying, hey, look,
I don't know how to ask. I got my hair done.

(03:47):
new person. You get your hair done, you get your
hair cut, you get those nails done, you get your
new outfit, your new shoes. You might be riding around

You know what.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
It had been a minute. But honey, I feel snolched
and I feel good. I hope you're doing good, and
I hope you had a moment to listen to the
vitamin D and realize that God ain't done with you yet.
I don't know what you've experienced of what you're going through,
but I hear a lot of people keep talking about, well,
life is lifing, life been lifing? And what do I say?

(04:23):
If you fall down seven times, you get up eight
If you can look up, you can get up. Your
location is not your destination. We got Alvin Innaviilds and Hello, Passa.
I'm so excited about this conversation that I'm gonna bring
to you today. I got some information from the news desk,
of course, I got some resources that you all have
emailed me and texted me, and in case, Vitamin D

(04:46):
at dawn daispeaks dot com resources and information with the
community that can be for us by us, And I
got a Vitamin D advice letter. And then after that,
I'm opening up the phone lines because I got something
I want to talk about now. If you are following
me on Facebook, you perhaps seeing me post up a video.
I want to talk about trauma. I want to talk

(05:09):
about conversation. I want to talk about the whole idea
of us living in a space where we aren't necessarily
talking about what's going on with us, and as a
result of that, that is causing generational curses. As a
result of that, we realize that we have various relationships
in our lives that are experiencing some sort of tension
simply because we haven't talked, simply because we haven't addressed

(05:32):
the mess. So I don't know who here right now,
But if you want to have a conversation with some
real people right now, then I'm saying I need you
to pull up on me, okay, please. I want to
make room for you, just like you've made room for me.
And I gotta call it gratitude, So I hope you

(05:54):
enjoyed this episode. Thank you so much. Hey Latasha, I
see you girl, Tasha, coming from a long beach in
the house. I read your information and I have to
remember to read it again. I have my PSA packet.
All right, guys, so thank you so much. I am
going to jump right in from front of the news
desk because I have some information and some stories to

(06:15):
talk about. We're talking about what's happening in our nation,
what's happening in our state, or perhaps what's happening with
a person near you now something that has happened recently.
You remember the story that was reported of the twenty
six year old woman who was at Disneyland. She got
arrested in front of her children. The children were crying

(06:37):
profusely saying are you to me? Which has helped me
in Spanish. All of this was captured on video. All
of this was plastered on social media. I'm talking about folks.
Have the pictures, I mean, the happiest place on earth
and you have children crying with their mother. Many have
raised the idea of what Dawn Well not doing? Other
person people conversation, was the arrest necessary? Well? On the

(07:04):
heels of that story, I have something else for you.
This was just announce I was on KTLA Disneyland is
bringing back discounts on kids tickets. That's right. Beginning October
twenty second, guests can purchase kids tickets for as low
as fifty dollars and this is per child, per day,
and this is valid from January seventh through March twenty

(07:27):
twenty Sorry March twentieth, twenty twenty five. Now the ticket
deals available for children's age three two nine. Guests can
also upgrade the tickets to the park Hopper tickets or
add on additional services like Lightning Lane, the Multi Pass
and formerly known as Disney Jeanie. Now currently, two day,
one day park passes have started as low as one

(07:49):
hundred and fifty five dollars per day, while kids three
day one park pass tickets have started its cost as
one hundred and thirty dollars a day now. As I
reported with the previous woman that's twenty six year old.
Remember she was trying to sneak her kids under, so
they say, and they were over the age of three,
so that's something. Also. I don't know if you guys

(08:11):
have been looking around but we know that we are
on the heels of the Olympics right and as a
result of that, we are cleaning up the streets of LA.
All the individuals that are part of the unhoused community
are finding what they want called home. This area, this
space is no more.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Now.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
I've shared with you all that I am doing some
live hosting basically on the TikTok on the tic Lord
am I getting there? Jesus, I'm shunning anyway. I do
luxury bag selling and all times I do shoe selling.
I see all that to say, at this location where
I'm working at, usually there has been a whole row

(08:54):
of unhoused people and it is kind of like your
own neighborhood. And I've recently seen I was just there
earlier today and it's all cleaned up. The question has become,
where are they going to go? Well, one city in
California is no longer eligible to receive state housing and

(09:19):
homelessness funds pull up. This is according to KTLA. The
city of Norwalk is no longer eligible to receive state
housing and homelessness funds after the State Department of Housing
and Community Development revoked its compliance with the Housing Element
Law Additionally, the city can no longer deny certain affordable

(09:42):
housing projects, and this is according to Governor Gavin Newsman. Now.
The announcement comes weeks after the city extended its mortuarian
more moratorier child by on emergency shelters for the homeless,

(10:02):
single room occupancy and transitional housing now. A day earlier,
Governor Gavin Newsom threatened the city with a potential lawsuit
if the ordinance wasn't reversed. Now, it says, after the
state has provided cities and counties with unprecedented funding to
address the homelessness crisis, it is beyond cruel that Norwalk

(10:24):
would ban the building of shelters while people are living
on the city streets. This crisis is urgent and we
can't afford to stand by as communities turn their backs
on those in need. No more excuses. Every city, including Norwalk,
must do its part to allow state housing laws. What
do you think about that? How do you feel about that? Now?

(10:44):
We know that we got because a small justice. Big
smiles who was on the meet with FM Dow who
was very candid about his experience of being unhoused in
the community, and now he has a thing where he
does if I spotted my got him. He sees somebody
with our shoes, clothes, hats, sneakers, and he's going to
go ahead and provide that with them. But here's the question.

(11:07):
We have to realize in some areas. I'm not saying
that we've heard a lot in LA, but there are
individuals who are unhoused who are attacking individuals. Some individuals
are being sexually assaulted. If I'm not mistaken, I was
just reading a story or I came across it. A
woman who was sexually assaulted an unhoused guy who was

(11:27):
mentally unstabled had sexually assaulted more than two. I believe
it was three elderly women women that came forth and
reported it. Now here's the question. We can't leave our
people out on the street. Okay, that's what we know
for sure. Now, if we have funding and we have

(11:48):
housing in place, and individuals don't want to go to
the housing, don't want to stay in the housing, what
are we supposed to do? Because we have to realize
that each said and visual or some at least are
an adult, They have their free will. They have to
report up there if they want, and if times they don't.
So what do we do in this instance? What does

(12:11):
this look like? Now? This Norwalk City Council adopted the
ordinance on August sixth, putting the moretarium on various establishments,
including emergency shelters along with transitional and supportive housing. Now,
in September, the City Council voted to extend it without discussion.
Before city council members voted on the extension, HCDS sent

(12:32):
city officials a notice of violation and corrective action letter
regarding the ordinance. So this is something to think about.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Now.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Another thing that's thinking about now, this is basically happening
on the East Coast and probably happening with us a lot,
but especially when we get our inboards. We've all heard
about the strikes that's happened in the docks right where
the workers are demanding more pay and if they aren't working,
all of our goods are on delay. As a country

(13:05):
where a lot of materials, products, goods are imported, what
happens if it stops before it gets to us? Have
you thought about what that looks like for food, for clothing,
for jobs. Like I said before, I was talking where
I do the live hosting for the bags and we
were in there and they were talking about the fact

(13:27):
there was an issue because a lot of the luxury
bags that we're getting in, well, they're getting stopped at
the docks. The union representing forty five thousand striking US
DOC workers at East and Gulf Coast ports has reached
a deal to suspend a three day strike until January
fifteen to provide time to negotiate a new contract. The union,

(13:49):
the International Longshoremen's Association, is to resume working immediately, I
said immediately. Both sides also reached agreement on wages, but
no details were given now. According to a statement from
the Ports and Union Thursday night, the union went on
strike early Tuesday after its contract expired in a dispute
overpay and the automation of tasks at the ports from

(14:10):
Maine to Texas. The strike came at the peak of
the holiday shopping season at thirty six ports that handle
about half the cargo from ships coming into and out
of the United States. Say what now. The walkout raised
the risk of shortages of goods on store shelves if
it lasted more than a few weeks, but also retailers

(14:30):
had stocked up or shipped its items early in anticipation
of the work stoppage. Now, the strike came at the
peak of the holiday season. Like I just said, it
raised Oh oh, that was redundant. So yes, what are
your thoughts on that?

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Now?

Speaker 1 (14:45):
I don't know if you were a tuned or tuned
in what was this on Tuesday? Did you hear the
audio I played of the whistleblower? You don't know what
I'm talking about. Listen all what I'm saying is that
needs to be some sort of wake up call. If
you don't believe, you better ask somebody or ask somebody else. Now,

(15:06):
I was wondering if we were on the fence because
of what was happening at the docks, if there was
more stuff going on. I am going back in my
phone right now and I'm going to play this audio.
A whistle blower from the FBI had an important message
for folks, an important message that some people might get
a little nervous. Some people like to get a little scared.

(15:29):
But listen, don't say I and tell yourself. This whistle
blower is urging that Americans to vote for one arm themselves,
stock up three to four months of food and supplies,
and most importantly, pray, take a listen.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
I would just say that I consider the hearing today
my last active service as a public servant for the
United States of America. Was an intel professional for our
country for many years, and I would give recommendations and
not also look at indications and warnings. So I would
offer this to the American people as my warning to them, says,

(16:06):
this is a warning is the American people, I say,
I personally have no confidence that the FBI will rein
in its own conduct. I've been persecuted along with Garrett,
Steve and Kyle and countless other whistleblowers. It is my
opinion that the bureau used a reprisal and fear to
control the workforce, and it's been a seemingly effective tactic.

(16:31):
I personally believe that there are no current effective checks
and balances against them conducting lawless action with any type
of correction in a legitimate time frame. Their ability to
overclassify information can allow them to stonewall forever. Arm yourself
and know how to defend yourself. Make three to four
friends in your neighborhood and promise to come to each

(16:51):
other's mutual aid in times of hardship and during the
great depression, people stocked up a pantry. So I think
that's a good practice, especially in our economic times, and
make sure you have three to four months of food.
As a person of faith, I'd say pray the Rosary,
go to the first Friday devotions that's for everybody, and
read the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,

(17:13):
and live it every day.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Did you catch it? Did you catch it because it's hired.
This is the kind of conversations we need to be
a realistic with. These are the things that we need
to talk about, especially when it comes about our livelihood,
when it comes about our community, there is always something underlining.
So how does that make you feel? When you get
moments when you got things happen at the dock. Now,

(17:34):
granted it has been suspended since January, but it's no
secret what they're talking about with the food. It's no secret.
While Governor Gavin Newsom just did a recall and signed
a bill that said, hey, we cannot sell any more
food that candains red dyed number forty and five other chemicals,
it's nothing shocking that you got individuals of young kids
doing breakouts, losing their lives because they eating ramen noodles.

(17:55):
Wake up everybody normal sleeping bend dunnam. I don't know
the rest, but it's time to wake up. How does
that make you feel? Okay? Well, if that doesn't wake
you up enough, we know that the holiday seasons are abound,
and here is something to talk about. Did you know

(18:18):
that Southern California police seized nearly ten thousand stolen gift cards?
Pull up because you might be purchased at a gift
card and ain't nothing on it.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Now.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Police in southern California have uncovered a scam in which
thousands of gift cards were stolen from stores across the region.
In a post on Instagram on Wednesday, the Chino Police
Department said an arrest was made after an investigation into
a large scale scam was wrapped up. While working with
security terms and law law and local law enforcement agencies,

(18:52):
the department discovered the thefts occurred that more than two
hundred and fifty department stores across San Bernardino, Los Angeles,
Sand dig in Orange Counties in just one month span.
Now upon execution of the search, warns about nine thousand,
five hundred stolen gift cards were seized. A photo was
shared by Chino Police, showed stacks of stolen gift cards

(19:15):
from stores like Target, Normstrom, the Home Depot, lu, Lul, Lemon,
and epay. Now. The suspects was only identified as an
individual from Elmonte. Was arrested on suspicion of multiple charges
and was booked in County jail.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
Now.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
The Chino Police Department warned shoppers to be careful when
purchasing gift cards. If their cards packaging appears to be
tampered with, or if the pensticker on the back has
been removed, there is a likelihood that the card may
be part of a scam. Well, I be damned, say what,
say what? Wake up everybody? No one will sleeping in bed?

(19:59):
Who would have a You know, you have so many
ways that you gotta think off for things when it
comes to the scam, I mean damned if it ain't
no resources, you call yourself being really nifty. Giving somebody
an opportunity to purchase what they need for their birthday,
for they hollibate day, for their celebration, Oh what have you?
And there's nothing on the car Now, I'm just wondering,
how did the brother slip up? How did they come

(20:19):
across all these dang gonna gift cars. I mean, we
talking about over ten thousand, and let's just really think
about this Arab we're talking about Lululemon, were talking about Northstrum.
Now what they did not say? Hold on what they
did not say? What was the damn cash value? Okay,
I want to know how much money was on the table,

(20:40):
because when you talk about a norsetrum, you can get
up to the thousands. Well no, he got for at
least five on it. And they got called like, yo,
you just be slipping, you falling, you can't get up.
I sing, I'm slipping, I'm falling. I got to get it.
You know I'm slipping. I'm falling. I got to get it.
I don't know. I just start going off. Nobody would
have talked to me about any of these stories. It

(21:03):
is a crying Shane. You don't want to hear from you.

to this advice and letter, know that it's all about
vitamin D. Vitamin D is all about shedding the light
on the good and the bad. Because if you want
to be better and you want to do better, when
you're going to have to be able to see better.

(39:51):
That means you're gonna have to get out the shadows.
That means you're gonna have to step in the light.
That means you're gonna have to eat the meat and
spin out the bones. Understand that these are my views
and opinions. Take what you need and keep it moving.
Dear Dawn. So I'm thirty two, decent job, live in
a small town in the Midwest. I have a good
amount of savings, a relationship that could be healthier. She

(40:14):
thinks I don't emote enough and I don't do it
just fine. But I feel comfortable and things are good sometimes. Really,
I feel like I've evolved into working our debt delved
into working barely maintaining social contacts and watching shows in
my free time could be the pandemic that was the effect,

(40:35):
but also feel like this could last longer. I feel
unfulfilled and alone. How do I really start living life? Honey,
It's time to wake up now. I want to make
room and make space because we all handle and deal
with things differently. Twenty twenty is when we embarked on

(40:56):
the pandemic. We're now in twenty twenty four. Wake up
everybyde and Norm will sleep it and bed. If you
want to be somebody and if you want to go somewhere,
you better wake up and pay attention. Now. I'm not
saying this in the harsh way because you simply wrote
in this letter that means that you are waking up.

(41:19):
That means you are walking into the light. But you
have to remind yourselves in the times that you don't
you feel stuck. Remember, things function, but people live, and
right now you're functioning with your day to day just existing.
But I need you to live, strive for something, step
out of your comfort zone.

Speaker 11 (41:39):
Now.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
You say you got a decent job, but how about
we make a great job. Oftentimes people are writ in
or they call in for advice and they say, well, Dawn,
how do I find out what I'm supposed to be? Oh, Dawn,
what is it that I'm supposed to be doing? You
gotta stretch out and reach You're gonna have to take
a chance on yourself now. Men, oftentimes, if you've been
a long time Vitamin D listener, can we be honest.
It's no secret that you guys have been on the

(42:01):
roller coaster ride with me. It's no secret that I've
talked about the ups and the downs in the all
the way around. But we have to remind ourselves the
bottom of one heel is the top of the next.
And just as though we are living and not functioning beings, well,
let's just think of a pulse up down, Why would
you think that your life would be any different? You

(42:23):
do realize that you have survived one hundred percent of
the worst days of your life. Again, why would today
be any different? And if you didn't survive today, you
wouldn't know what you But now what you do know
is that you are doing the same thing day in
and day out, and you realize that time is ticking.
They say time is our most valuable asset. Once it's spent,

(42:44):
it's gone forever. You can't get this time back, You
can't get this youth back, you can't get this state
of your mind back. So when are you gonna show
up and step up and grow up? You start living
by doing things you feel afraid. You start living by
doing things you've never done before. You start living by

(43:05):
forgiving yourself. Should we really talk on that for a minute.
I think oftentimes things that get us stuck in not
living is simply because we haven't stepped out of our
comfort zone, simply because we have been in Parihlyasi's afear.
If a caterpillar was so afraid to stretch out of
this encasement of darkness, enclosure, we would never see the

(43:29):
wonders in the beauty of a butterfly. If a tadba
was so comfortable by being this little table just swimming
in the water, he never would what it means to
jump on it, jump on it to hop to the
next thing. And we have beings that are physically able,
and this is not going to anybody that has any
stipulations didn't under stand the concept of walk, crawling to walk,

(43:55):
to run, then how would you know it's going to
require you to exercise some muscles, and it's going to
require you to be uncomfortable because the magic happens outside
of the comfort zone. The best thing that you can
do is take a chance on yourself because you have
more confidence and in fact that this job is going
to provide you for your needs the next day in

(44:15):
and out, not realizing at the end of the day
you are just a number. Are we having a real
conversation and if we know that the only way out
is down, you best believe I'm gonna live it while
I can. So here's what I say to you, darling,

(44:35):
thirty two year old, decent job living in a small
town in Midwest. Well, I'm a Detroit girl, and I
had to realize I had to take a chance on myself.
And what that first looked like. I went to Howard,
no family, some people I went to high school with
that I knew out there, and then I took a
chance on myself. All I had was the promise of

(44:59):
a fellow that was three months, but I knew the
vision was either to move to New York, LA. And
guess what, I moved to New York. I made it work.
Then it came to me my time when that New
York was up and I had this opportunity, this window.
Think of it as my wind shield. I saw the
sunny La. My sister would tell you. I was down

(45:19):
in Vegas and she was celebrating her thirtieth and I said,
I want to live someplace where there's beaches and palm trees.
And I had to jump up. I jumped up to
get up, and I moved to LA. And I've been
making it working. Honey. We've had our ups and downs. Hey,
we experienced it. And the best thing I can say

(45:44):
is live. So how does that sound? Live your life,
and living your life simply means taking a chance on yourself.
So that's the first step. Now. I hope I didn't
come off harsh in the beginning, because you're on the
right path. I think the first step to say so
he can get answer is first to ask the question
and doing it so even if your voice shakes, Because

(46:07):
what do I say, If you can look up, you
can get up. If you fall down seven times, you
get up eight And guess what your location is? Not
your destination? Yeah, you're located in the Midwest right now,
in this little city. But guess what it is so
more over in Yonder. All right, all right, y'all, you

(46:30):
all ready to have a conversation. Call me in the
studio right now, Call me in the studio. Here's the number.
Eight one eight four six one fifty four thirty two.
Eight one, eight four six one fifty four thirty two. Now,
I was interested in having a conversation, a conversation that

(46:52):
spearheaded just for some coincidences of what happened on uh
yesterday or the during the day. And then I got
home and I was talking to my sister and it
really evoked another conversation, and I wanted to bring it
to the Vitamin D family. Now, listen, some things are
gonna get uncomfortable just by the looks of it. We

(47:12):
got people that are on different generational timelines. So what
we did in one generation may be different from the next.
But who's to say which one is best. Now Charlotte
is still driving, and I want her to be safe.
I don't want her to be talking on the phone
while driving. If we don't we do it all the time.
But if she were comfortable, I would say come and

(47:34):
but it's fine, we're on the go. But what I
want to talk to you about today. There's no secret.
Life is life and for a lot of folks out here. Okay,
I was talking, Charlotte said, I can talk. Okay, y'all
want to talk to my sister. I'm gonna call her

(47:55):
right now now. She's driving. Luckily, I know she'll be
able to hear me. Let's just see how this goes.
I'm calling Charlotte right now, y'all hear the phone ringing?
Hold on one second, Chuck, Yeah, Hello, Hello, is this Carlota? Oh?

(48:19):
Is the service bad?

Speaker 4 (48:21):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (48:22):
Am?

Speaker 4 (48:22):
I coming in clearly?

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Now I can hear you. Is this safe to talk
to you while you're driving on the road?

Speaker 4 (48:29):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
I'm all right, Well we cut at the right time.
I'm glad you told me. Now. At any point, if
it does come back, just let me know if you
can't hear me.

Speaker 4 (48:39):
Well, I'm getting a little feedback.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
And so, oh did you cut off the Facebook? Are
you still watching me on Facebook? Well?

Speaker 4 (48:46):
Yes, I am. Let me cut off there, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
Cut off off the Facebook. You gotta cut off the Facebook.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
Now.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
I was gonna have it where because I'm hoping when
the caller's calling, you should be able to hear. We
should be good. We're working okay, So now is there
any feedback? Now everything's okay, perfect. So now we're in
the last thirty minutes of the show. And so I
was briefly teasing how I had a conversation or how
we were talking last night, and we talked about an

(49:15):
array of things. We talked about trauma, what it was like,
whether or not folks talked about it, and the whole
idea of talking too much and telling your business but
being able to lie into positivity with ourselves. I'm going everywhere, Charlotte,
help me out here.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
All we talked about self talk and how self talk
you have to There are five steps, and please don't
quote me. I don't have all the steps, but once
you get through the steps, it is telling.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
Yourself I am great.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
Even if you don't think you're great. You keep telling
yourself until you believe it. Or I have quit a
habit where there it's smoking or eating sweets. I don't
eat those anymore. I don't desire those things anymore. And
if you do, is still desire those things. So that's
what we were talking about.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
Yeah, And it stemmed over because I had once to
get my hair to everybody like ding you got your hair? Yes,
I went to Joel Off. If you didn't catch it
too late, I'm not giving free advertising. We need to
talk about payment later anyway. And I came across f
FM dial listener April, and I hadn't seen her in
a while, and I said, you know how you doing?
She said, life has been lifing and that has been
a tagline that so many of us have experienced, that

(50:27):
life is life and and it's just, without going too
much in information, a relationship somebody near and dear with
to her, it was strained and she was working on
repairing it, and she realized there was so much friction
between this relationship because of this said individual, This loved
one was actually depressed, actually grew up in some trauma.

(50:50):
And we talked about how the self talk correlates with
that is more so because one being honest about what
we've experienced. Two on when life is not feeling its best,
how do you put yourself in the self talk to
make sure that you can optimistically go throughout. But here's
the thing, Charlotte, a lot of us aren't talking now.
I know that you studied psychology in school, so you

(51:12):
have a bit of a background on that. What is
your thoughts on that? What are your thoughts?

Speaker 3 (51:17):
I think the hardest thing to do is looking in
the mirror and admitting your faults and when.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
You were wrong.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
And I heard you talk about forgiving ourselves and also
forgiving others. Sometimes they're when we start unpacking things, there
are things that come.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
Up that we had no idea that we're there.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
And I often liking it to like I don't know,
going on vacation and you come home, maybe you leave
your suitcase for a few days. Some people unpack as
soon as they get home. Some people wait a minute
and you start unpacking that suitcase and next thing.

Speaker 4 (51:50):
You know, you find a shirt that you forgot you had.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
Maybe you looked forward and put it behind, But now
this shirt is there. And that's the same thing with
our emotions and dealing with the man or woman in
the mirror.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Now, for those who are listening and even those who
are watching right now, y'all didn't have to pack a
bag before. Right, you've went on vacation, you've traveled somewhere.
Now you've gotten back to said start wherever you start at,
whether that's home, and you've left the suitcase on the
ground because you don't feel like getting into it. Perhaps

(52:27):
you're in a brush, you got something else to do,
and you realize it just stays stuck in there, and
you're constantly trying to find stuff, throwing stuff around, moving
things around, trying to find something. Heck, you probably even
forgot that you got things right there. It's collecting dust,
it's getting in the way, it's causing clutter, and most importantly,
it's causing confusion.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
Can anybody do that with our emotions? Sorry to interject,
We do that with our emotions often.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
Hey, uncle Michael, Yes, we do this, so with emotions.
Why is that?

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Because it's hard to face the things that bother us.
It's hard to face it's hard to be honest with
yourself and say, you know what, I shouldn't have done that,
or you know what I was wrong? And this year
especially I know with myself. I've we talked about this
last night. Just being vulnerable, it's uncomfortable. It feels naked.

(53:24):
It's like walking outside without your clothes on. And whereas
for some that could be freeing, for others you feel
completely exposed and that's uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
Who wants to be uncomfortable? I certainly don't.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
But in order to grow, we have to The most
beautiful things go through the most pressure.

Speaker 4 (53:44):
We've all heard that before. Diamonds.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
I mean, look at am. I can't think of the flower,
but it grows in the mud.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Oh it is. I was thinking of the rolls that
think from the concrete, but I don't know about the
flowers that concrete.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
There are a different things that go through a lot,
and they're some of the most beautiful things. Some of
the most beautiful and colorful things are the most poisonous.

Speaker 4 (54:06):
I want to go down the rabbit hole.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
But just highlighting the fact that we, like you said,
life is lifing, and when life gets to lifing, we
have to look at ourselves.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
And say, hey, what do I need to do differently?

Speaker 3 (54:20):
And sometimes those things catch up with us and it's
decisions that we've made, things that we said, people that
we've let go, or people we need to let go.
And it can get rough, it gets tough, but that's
when you really have to pull your bootstraps on and
sometimes it's hard and say I'm going to be intentional

(54:41):
about today and I'm going to do this today and
set yourself up for success.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
And doing that self talk that you initially talked about
about being delusional. What it is that you want? You
gotta be outside of your mind for your dreams. When
you're looking around and with the results that you cannot see,
you got to rely on them. Vision. What is that vision?
What is that moment? What does that serene feel that
you feel when you've ualize the life that you want?

(55:09):
And something else that you said, Uncle Mike Goldlanda, Linda Deborah,
Everybody says they lovest thank you guys.

Speaker 4 (55:18):
What all?

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Charlotte says all? I think it's also a thing that
we don't do enough. And I know we got a
couple of generations on here, and I hope that you
know we still have the phone lines open for anyone
to call and join the conversation with Charlotte and I.
It's eight one, eight four six fifty four thirty two.
One thing that I don't feel as though we're talking
about enough is the fact that there isn't enough talking.

(55:42):
Growing up, you always say keep your business to yourself.
Everybody ain't gotta know your business. Don't tell anybody your businesses.
They gonna wish negativity on you. Now. I know we
were talking about this there'sn't two folds of this. Ain't
no sense of talking about the milk that been spilled over,
especially if you wanted to be clean up. But at
the same time, we need to visualize it cleaned up,

(56:05):
act like it's cleaned up, walk and talk like it's
cleaned up, so that it can be cleaned up. Charlotte can.

Speaker 4 (56:12):
Talk about it, clean it up.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
Like you said, there's no sense in crying over spilled milk.
But at the same time, sometimes that's spilled milk, there's
still some milk and the cracks and the crevices, and
it starts to smell, and it's like, well, what is that?

Speaker 4 (56:25):
What is that? I smell something? Using an analogy, but
I smell something. It's like I cleaned it up, but
it's still there.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
Because you never You didn't you didn't clean you wiped
it up just a little bit.

Speaker 4 (56:37):
You just grazed over it. You didn't get down on
your knees and really scrub. So if we're if we're
liking it.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
To to spilled milk, so when that milk spilled, we
really got to get it up because we know milk
can spit smell if it sits for too long.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
Yes, it can.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
It's really getting down to the nitty gritty and and
and like going back to that suitcase. When you start
unpacking things, then you realize, well that really bothers me,
bothered me, and being brave enough, I know I have
avoided conversations, things that have hurt me, things that have
bothered me, people that for whatever reason. But that's not
a healthy way of living because you're carrying you think

(57:20):
you're getting rid of the baggage, but you're actually just
carrying it with you into the next phase of life.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Bad lady, I'm sorry.

Speaker 12 (57:27):
Go ahead, yes, bag lady, you you hurt joke back
dragon dragging, nolling back like like.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
That, because I guess nobody was.

Speaker 4 (57:43):
Nobody ever told you.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
Okay, so I want to mess you up, but all
you must hold on to is you. And I'm looking
at a comment. I have a listener. If you are
commented right now, Natasha Jackson, and longbe says in my time,
this is nineteen seventy six. Children must be seen but
not heard.

Speaker 4 (58:06):
And not heard and that is a that is a
generational curse.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
That was heavy and I felt it because I was
just talking to Eddie. You're over here, at the station,
at the studio, at the office, and he was saying
that at time, we lacked patience, so we wanted them
the hush. So now we're in the area era where
we have patients and we're asking children how they feel.
But when they tell us, we still tell them, well,

(58:34):
you're too young to understand.

Speaker 4 (58:36):
You know, why would you like to know why?

Speaker 1 (58:39):
I want to know why? Do y'all want to know why?

Speaker 3 (58:41):
Because we do not have the work, We don't understand.
We haven't explored those feelings. So how can we teach
somebody else to explore feelings that we haven't explored ourselves?

Speaker 1 (58:51):
Wake up, everybody, I didn't normal sleep in them beds.

Speaker 3 (58:56):
So as adults, if we want to impart that knowledge
to our younger generations, we have to allow them. Oftentimes,
I know my children, they are their emotional intelligence.

Speaker 4 (59:07):
I'm impressed with it a lot.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
And that's what a lot of us adults lack, is
emotional intelligence, because we've been like we've been taught, well,
you don't don't say stay in a child's place, Well,
where is a child's place?

Speaker 1 (59:19):
Where is the damn child's play side?

Speaker 4 (59:22):
Now, of course you respect your elders.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
I believe in that, but at the same time, me
respecting my elders and I know I'm gonna get some
might get some pushback on this, but that doesn't mean
I don't get to tell you how I feel.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
Well, what do you mean by that?

Speaker 4 (59:37):
In a respectful way? Like I should be able My
children should.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
Be able to come to me and say, you know, mommy,
that bothered me and we have a conversation about it,
instead of me being offended and saying, well, how dare
you come to me as your mother and tell me
something bothered you. I'm the adult in this situation when
really you're just You're that's that scared child coming out
being afraid to face something that you maybe you did wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
And the last thing we want to hear is that
something's wrong with us. Do you think perhaps that's even
another reason why we don't talk to therapist, while we
don't seek therapy, while we are afraid of counseling.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
And the stigma.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Do you have to admit that you have a problem
or something is bothering you, or something is wrong to
even seek out speaking to another person about it and
unpacking that suitcase that you know dog gone?

Speaker 4 (01:00:33):
Well, you should have unpacked weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
And here's the thing, Charlot, I love how you're using
the analogy about this suitcase, because what we realize is
that we keep carrying the baggage to every new chapter
of our life, wondering why we keep hitting the same wall,
wondering why we keep ourselves in the same situations, why
we keep feeling the way we feel. And we said, dang,
I've been going through this for how long? Well, guess

(01:00:56):
what did you unpack?

Speaker 4 (01:00:58):
Your changed anything?

Speaker 6 (01:01:00):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
My god?

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
And here can we just be honest on another front too? Don't?
And I say this to you as I say this
to myself. I do. And I say, not you, Charlotte,
but people whoever, y'all know what the deal is. When
you are truly ready to change, you will change. I
don't give it that you have a choice. You won't

(01:01:23):
have a choice now. It just depends on how hot
you need it to get, how much pressure you need
to be placed on your neck for you to change.
I don't know why it's so dramatic, Charlotte. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:01:38):
Well, you know that's don day, all day.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
Every day, you know. I see you guys in the
chat commentsing I'm want to welcome you all to call
in the studio. Let's all get a three way talk
to my sister, talk to me, call me right now.
Eight one eight four, six one fifty four thirty two
eight one eight four sixty one fifty four to thirty two.
I don't care which generation you're a part of. I
would love to hear for you to share your ex
being told to stay in the child's face, being told

(01:02:03):
or being able to feel that you should not speak
your emotions, and perhaps let us know how this affected you.
Do you have any other children in your life in
which you found that to be affected them in a
kind of negative way. I want to welcome it only
if you're ready for a real conversation, because at the
end of the day, life is life, and people are
going through some things. And until we get to a
point of just talking collectively, until we get to a

(01:02:26):
point to all of us start talking, we will not
start healing. And we understand in order to heal, we
gotta feel, point blank period and feel. But I don't
always feel good, and that's the thing's the part. But
it was kind of like what you said, like even

(01:02:49):
in the wound, oftentimes what we have to realize that
we will experience that even in a wound that is healing,
you have to allow air to let it be through.
And it's gonna get itchy. I mean, it's going to
be irritating because you're gonna start looking in the areas
where you don't want to shed the light at You're
gonna start looking or having to look in the areas
that are uncomfortable. You're gonna have to put in the
laborer's work of literally lifting and unpacking that suitcase. And

(01:03:13):
if you got some clothes in there, are you ready
to wash them? Catch you, Chuck. You keep saying we
having a good conversation. Chuck called me in the studio, Brenda,
express yourself helping somebody? Yes, why can't I hear her
saying no, uh uh, express yourself. Indeed, I want to

(01:03:41):
open that up before we wrap up out of here.
Thank you so much for that conversation, because what we
realize in this lack of conversation, how many of us
have grown up in households where people that are guardians,
people that are responsible for taking care of us are
literally depressed, and we don't understand why the temper We
don't understand why the house is in normal We don't

(01:04:03):
understand why we don't go anywhere and why opportunities aren't presented,
simply because, like you said, we haven't done and work
within ourselves to figure out what's going on.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
And let's not forget that that little kid that was
told to stay in their place, who maybe for one
reason or another and was raised in these environments that
you speak of, that child just gets larger and more
responsibilities are placed upon them.

Speaker 4 (01:04:29):
We're all just we're still that sane person.

Speaker 3 (01:04:31):
Of course, life experiences, we've gotten older, we've learned other things,
but have we learned emotionally how to function? And that
is what it's often missing. We hear about childhood trauma,
childhood trauma at nauseum, but I think it does need
to be talked about and it does need to be
ran into the ground because we often we're just that

(01:04:54):
little that little girl who've grown up maybe suppress some things,
and it comes out in our action, that comes out
in our decision making. And not until you start talking
to a therapist or unpacking that suitcase or even seeking
out a trusted friend, you've realized, like, my goodness, this

(01:05:16):
stems from a long, long time ago.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
And even though I talked about before about giving grace
and space and realizing this isn't going to be the
next Bay thing, you spend thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, even
seventy years dealing with the same thing. All right, Charlotte,
we got a call. Oh talk to me, is Chuck?
Is this shoe?

Speaker 13 (01:05:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:05:37):
Chuck?

Speaker 1 (01:05:38):
Hy Chuck, Charlotte. Can you hear Chuck?

Speaker 13 (01:05:41):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
Chuck?

Speaker 4 (01:05:41):
I can't, Chuck.

Speaker 9 (01:05:44):
Let me think, Let me get off Liave. Okay, So
can y'all hear my building?

Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:05:48):
Yeah, we can hear you. Can you hear it?

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
Here?

Speaker 13 (01:05:51):
You go hear y'all?

Speaker 6 (01:05:52):
Pretty well?

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
All right, Chuck? What you got to say, Chuck about
this topic of self talk and healing within our family?

Speaker 9 (01:06:01):
So when I when I'm from the South, so I'm
from Georgia. We were younger, you know, uh my mom
was always say, you know, listen to grown folks. You know,
it doesn't matter. They'll stop us from talking. Even if
you try to talk, you know, you're being rude and
disrespredfl But as as we got older and my sons

(01:06:24):
and our grandchildren started doing it, you know, they kind
of leading it back off of it. Mm hm, so
you know, and and that and that kind of confused
me because when we were younger, it's like our carears
was more script on this than they do. The grandchildren now, well.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
For sure, because they've they've they've learned more, their patience
has gotten greater. As Don talked about patients, Yeah, they
see the world differently.

Speaker 9 (01:06:58):
Hey you're yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
And how does that feeling?

Speaker 9 (01:07:06):
What you say?

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
How does that have you feeling right now? Chuck? I
think you might still have Do you have me still
open on Facebook? Cause I think I hear a bit
of a reverb.

Speaker 9 (01:07:14):
No, I don't have you open on facebo.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
Okay, So how does that make you feel now? Do
you feel as though that has effected you as an
adult as far as healing communication? I don't know if
you have children, so you.

Speaker 4 (01:07:30):
Know I do.

Speaker 9 (01:07:30):
I have a son and a daughter, and also, you know,
the thing is with them, it's like it's like I
try these sometimes I do get winged off and do
things my parents taught me how to do it, and then
I kind of be a little lenient now, you know,
as my kids got older, So that's I saw it
doing a little thing diversing them in a different way.

(01:07:54):
So it didn't It helped me, but it didn't really
hurt me.

Speaker 8 (01:07:58):
I wouldn't say it hurt me because just like the
thing is, my parents instilled in me in a good way,
so I wouldn't look at that as a bad thing.
And then I say it. But the only reason I
say that.

Speaker 9 (01:08:10):
Is because it's like, you know, back then versus now
is a whole different generation.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
You see that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
You recognize that that's the difference, So you see it.
It's just like any lesson that we've learned. I don't
like the way that feels, so you might do things differently.
Not that it harmed you, but you recognized.

Speaker 4 (01:08:35):
Okay, I don't like that. I might tweak some things.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
I might take a little bit from here and a
little bit from there and put it all together.

Speaker 9 (01:08:43):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
Think of it like a recipe. We're all trying to
get the recipe over for this.

Speaker 4 (01:08:49):
You took the word, and.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
Sometimes it's gonna require you to put a little bit
more water, maybe put some in the dry it out.
It may take it that it has to rest a
little bit, or maybe you got to step into fire
and put it under the heat, but let you know
that the end result is going to be amazing. Thank
you so much, Chuck, Yeah, thank you too.

Speaker 4 (01:09:06):
All Right, the great evening.

Speaker 8 (01:09:09):
You have a good night.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
Good night you too.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
All right, bye bye.

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
Now we can always rely on check. That was a
great comments. You know, somebody that's coming from vulnerability, coming
from down the south. I saw my aunt Linda was
on here, on Brenda was on here. So you guys,
I'm sure definitely different generations of what we talked about
and we didn't talk about. And realizing that these traumas,
these secrets, they pass on from generation to generation. But
whind dos it stop? And you know, just to be honest, Charlie,

(01:09:35):
you know, I think we do need to make room
for the little child that was affected and understanding that
the comprehension of that that hurt is from the little
child's point of view. But we do have to step
and walk into the adult and realize that now it's
our responsibility to be the change that we want to see.

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
Amen, you cannot use that as an excuse, but Tama,
the way it affects that, I'm not I won't go
down that rabbit hole either, but I'm just gonna make
this comment.

Speaker 4 (01:10:01):
The way it affects the brain.

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
It literally can't affect the electrical synapses in your brain literally,
so you can be stuck.

Speaker 4 (01:10:11):
But that doesn't mean oh.

Speaker 3 (01:10:12):
Well, this happened when I was a kid, So that's
why I recognize that and worked through it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
I think we got another call, not a crutch talk to.

Speaker 11 (01:10:24):
Me, Hello, Hello, I can't hear you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
Somebody from Alabama. I saw two five six, going to
need you to call again. I'm not sure it's I
think two five six is up.

Speaker 4 (01:10:46):
Let me say, no, Tita, try calling.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
Let me see that is and I'll.

Speaker 4 (01:10:54):
Say this gone there. Conversation that I've avoided. I said
that earlier.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
I know I had to face some head on, like
even today, I felt uncomfortable, but I had to share
where It's kind of like I was in a role
for something and I would have uncomfortable that somebody called
me out. Was like, down, you were wrong on that.
Let's see Hello, Hello, are you watching? They must be

(01:11:23):
watching the Hello hello, hello.

Speaker 9 (01:11:29):
Hello, Yes, this is Linda.

Speaker 7 (01:11:32):
Hey, Hello, how are you You know?

Speaker 13 (01:11:38):
This goes for young people and old people. Clean it up.
Clean it up because it hurts. It hurts older people.
It hurts the young people. So when is it going
to stop? And you know we talk about generation generational curses.

(01:12:06):
We were gonna clean it up, right, we clean and
then you know I was sitting here listening. I can't
I can't see you now, but I was sitting here
just listening to Charlotte and I was listening to the
hun day. We got to clean it up, thank you.

(01:12:36):
You know I hurt today. I hurt m h. And
it's not good. You know, we get depressed and we
just come down, but you know we get back up.
God brings us back up. So I just want you

(01:13:03):
to know, Charlotte, I love you, I love you.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
I love you too. I London. Just for the listeners
who may not know, just give us an idea. What
is your generation that you grew up in? Like what
was the time period?

Speaker 13 (01:13:19):
Well, I will tell you how old I am. I
am seventy six years old, are you right? I am
seventy six?

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
So you know, and you just said something important. You
said you're still hurting. So there are things that happened
to you in your childhood that us seventy six are
still experiencing.

Speaker 13 (01:13:39):
What no, no, But it's just things that are happening today.

Speaker 9 (01:13:47):
That hurts, and.

Speaker 13 (01:13:49):
Yeah it's still it hurts, and things that happen well
not I can't picture anything that happened in my childhood
that's hurt me today. I'm just talking about just daily,
daily living things that are happening today, things that happened yesterday,

(01:14:09):
things that may have happened last year. Mm hmm. It's
just a it can go way back. But uh, I
can't say that there was anything that happened in my
childhood that I'm hurting from. However, I will say this,
things that are happening today, well, it just goes on

(01:14:34):
and on, it goes home out and you know, depression
brings a lot. You know people people don't look at depression,
but what just they do because it's been talked about
a lot. Depression is an illness.

Speaker 4 (01:14:57):
And that you cannot help.

Speaker 13 (01:15:00):
Right. Yeah. So anyway, I just wanted to call Agen
to let you know that I want listening and I
thank you. Yeah, like I said, not just with the
young people, are the general.

Speaker 8 (01:15:19):
Uh.

Speaker 13 (01:15:21):
Anyway, it's all good, it's not good. Anyway. I want
y'all to know, love you much, keep it up, keep
it up, and.

Speaker 4 (01:15:30):
Love you too.

Speaker 1 (01:15:33):
I'll let you all go all right, love you, I'm
loved to thank you, love you.

Speaker 4 (01:15:39):
The next time, Yes, till the next time. That's what
she's saying.

Speaker 1 (01:15:44):
That's down there at Baoma. Now, that's it's something interesting
to say. And I'm so glad that we have generations
from different realms of spec yeah, to just really talk
about like this is real and how we got to
sit down and I'm just so glad that it's not
the whole thing like how we started out. Go stay
in the child place, go stand in the corner, don't
say nothing to nobody else. We having some real conversation.

(01:16:06):
So thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (01:16:08):
Clean it up.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
But she said clean it up, clean it up, and
you might have to get on your knees. You might
have to get club scrub that because, like you said,
if you spilled some milk, you wonder where the funk
coming from.

Speaker 4 (01:16:21):
But it's up in the cracks.

Speaker 1 (01:16:24):
You're gonna have to open it up. Almost have to
go talk to my sister.

Speaker 4 (01:16:29):
Girl.

Speaker 7 (01:16:30):
Hey up, the girl, this is not Brendan. You know,
I'm gonna keep read. In order for you to know something,
you got to tell somebody something.

Speaker 10 (01:16:41):
And then when you know better.

Speaker 6 (01:16:43):
You can do better.

Speaker 7 (01:16:45):
And sometimes when you be trying to send something, somebody says, MP,
shut up. So you be speaking all these things in
your mind. But and you said, you got to press
down to stand up. And when you stand up.

Speaker 9 (01:16:58):
You're gonna look up.

Speaker 10 (01:16:59):
And when you look up, look somebody straight in the face, eyebile, eyeballs,
and say what you gotta say. It's all about freedom,
because we ain't going back.
