But listen, we get it. Were shaken the move in.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Amen. Right, I'm fully aligned with us. So thank you
for having me. It's great to see you guys. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
So we were having a conversation off air, and I
kind of wanted to ask a follow up on the conversation.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
We were talking about just.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Relationships, people knowing one another, coming from you know, just
this world being a small place. So you had said
something like, you know, my exes family, they used to
be their family. They were family, They used to be family.
So my question to you is does your ex's family
remain family or are they cut off?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
No, I'm still family with not you in general? What
are our thoughts? Yeah, I think it depends. It depends
on how the relationship ended and how close you were
with the family. Ty, what's your take? I for me
their family, I mean, as long as I'm cool with them,
(07:03):
and actually I don't have any I think once you
move on, you can take the energy of moving on.
You don't connect with them the same way. But they
served a purpose they so they remaining a family. Yeah,
all of my ex's families are my family. Okay, you're like,
screw them, it's over. It's hard. It's hard. It's hard
(07:26):
because one of mine.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You know, their families are still around, not not in
the day to day as they were when that person
was around, But I care for them and if something
were to happen, I would be sad. If something good happens,
I'm happy for them. So I agree with you all that. Yeah,
once they're in your life, like, they're not written off.
And I don't really see too many people writing off family,
(07:51):
excess family. What about their friends? Do we think we're right?
Do we write off their friends?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I don't. I'm trying to think of but if their
friends are not necessarily my friends, I mean so, I
mean you can have him.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Sometimes when you're in a circle, right, Like people fight
over we get to keep Tye, we get to.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Keep it's a fight. Yeah, well that's a you know
what that I have a personal situation there. One of
my exes, his oldest child's mother, and I became friends
and we're still friends. So I think it just depends
on the we're still friends, like we still we still speak,
we still you know, text, we still go out to
(08:37):
dinner on occasion. I found her to be a wonderful woman,
and I really appreciate her. Are you closer now though,
because he's your No? No, no, no, because we know
we were always cool and literally we don't even speak
about him. I ask about her son, you know. But yeah,
that's women in maturity. I think that that's what it
(08:57):
comes down to, right, Yeah, look at say his face?
What you think you're like? I don't know, I'm so weird.
I don't be.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I don't be messing with none of these men's exes nothing. Yes,
they got to stay over there.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I feel like I'm a very mature
and big person. I just don't want it. Yeah, it's
not I mean, and it also depends on what what
value does it add or not? And so you're constantly
asking yourself like is this a value add? Yeah? And
I mean that's that I'm certainly in that space in
all relationships now with no I'm serious with with with
(09:32):
friends that have been friends for one hundred years with
you know or not? Is there a value add here?
Because the older I get, the less time and less
tolerance I have.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
So so on the flip to that, what have what
are some of your watchouts in life? And you know,
would you recommend them for other women that are in
your space.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
So what I've learned, I, you know, one of my
I realized and this was a new thing for me.
One of my achilles heels is that I love deeply
and I literally believe and see the power in all people.
And I am a celebrant of women, have always been
all of my life. I'm the true ultimate girls girls,
(10:15):
and I have found that sometimes as of late, that
desire and that truth and that reality for me and
the sincerity that I come from is not going to
necessarily change a person who doesn't see themselves for their
fullness or a person who's dealing with insecurities, or it's
(10:38):
not going to change it. So my lesson as of
late is you can be who you are, but just
because you want something for someone, if they don't want
it for themselves or see it for themselves, that's when
I create healthy distance in space. My watch outs are,
and I talked about this on another conversation, are people
(10:59):
that talk about other people, oh for real, in a
in a bad way. I don't want to walk into
a room and everybody stops talking, and I don't want
to walk out of the room. Feeling like people are
talking about me. That's a good watch out.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, because if I feel that way, now you are categorized,
like I now have to watch everything I say around you.
I now have to put you in a category that
I didn't necessarily want to put you in. And now
you are that person I can't trust.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I can't. There's no trust. And if that person, if
you see people that, or you hear people share over
sharing about other people's lives, know that they're oversharing about
your life period. I've learned that recently. Uh huh. So
you are coming from.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Fashion beauty you're hosting, you know, I'm gonna do something
kind of just broad. Okay, give us some fashion tips.
What are you seeing right now?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah? I don't know if I have them. I don't
watch the trends anymore today. I don't so so fashion
for tie, oh for me? Yeah, give us something that
you're doing in twenty twenty five five? Yes?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Or do you have a classic look and you're like, hey,
I love oversized sleeves or oversize everything.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Like yeah, so fashion for me is just self expression.
So I kind of crossed the game. I love a hat,
but I've been wearing a hat for a long time.
That actually speaks to my laziness of not wanting to
do my hair. I've worn hats for a long time.
I mix it up, you know, I think move. Since
(12:33):
moving to La I became a sweatsuit girl. Like, I
literally don't dress a lot here. I'm in Athlesia most
of the time, unless I'm coming to see five of
those people like you owing up. You always look great? Okay, okay, so.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
True. So are you the friend that will try to
help a friend with her fashion game or his fashion game,
or do you let them walk out the house?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Look you so shitty and you say, are you gonna
let them walk out out?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Now?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
So here's what. I respect people's own identity for what
it looks like. But if I saw someone like, okay,
this could be a little bit different, I would offer
that I am often the friend that people ask like,
what do you think? So then I feel emboldened to
share because I also like, I also like, if you're
(13:27):
comfortable on your T shirt and you're you're jeggings, No,
you could edit it on purpose because Jaggings is like
six seven years ago. I don't know. I mean definitely, well,
I love the spank sluggings. Though I do love those,
they're not jaggs right all right, Hi are you hiring
(13:54):
a stylus? Are you doing it yourself?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I hire stylus every opportunity. I can't. I hate shopping,
I like. But I also I think my approach to style,
as I addressed out of my college, I address how
I feel. So I don't really put a lot of
thought into my look, and I do know that I
have a gift of just putting things together always so fine,
thank you, I think are today right, effortlessly, thank you, inappropriate, Okay,
(14:22):
thank you. My grandmother would be very proud of me.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Maybe because it's another question like how are we feeling
when people say, you know, come business casual and they're
not business casual like their business CASUALI is crocs or
just or even just something that doesn't relate.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, I mean I think relatability and fashionist, but I
also just think I think style and aesthetic as a tool, right,
So I don't think it has to be something that
everyone is like like that's my thing. It's a tool
and a resource to you know, connect with people, to
see people, to be seen, all those things. And that's
how I like to use it, and also as self expression.
(15:00):
That's how you show up and that's why everybody wants
a book tie.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Well, thank you, you're welcome. Okay, brown girl Jane, Yep,
we love her.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
That's great. It was, it was, it was a great
you know. I left the business back in May of
last year. Okay, I'm really proud of what I was
able to help build and create. Yeah, we'll move right
on on. Then. It doesn't even have to be shady
like I am, you know, I am. I really am
(15:27):
grateful for what that season was in my life. So
let's talk about it. Yeah, right, as the one that
is seasoned.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Right, how do you transition out of a space that
no longer kind of serves your purpose and in your past.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
That's a really good question. I've tried to do it
gracefully and graciously, I think, you know, especially as black
women and as what black women leaders, when you do something,
you want it to have the impact and the result
(16:03):
on other people that you desire, and so I show
up fully, you know, and in that when when seasons change,
I just recognize it. I have been that person though
most of my career, and I am grateful to say
that everything that I've done, I've done to the height
and to the fullest. And when I realize for myself
(16:25):
that environment, that space, that work, that whatever the place was,
that it was time. You take those lessons and you
build from it. You take those you you gain clarity
of understanding of who you are, who you're becoming, and
I lean into the who I'm becoming.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Okay, So would that be your advice for someone that
is kind of struggling to transition.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, I think the main thing is, you know where
you called, Where is there going to be space for
you to show up in your fullness? Get clear about
what your impact is going to to be. Be clear
about how you're gonna drive whatever you're looking to drive
in leaning and leaning on the screen.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Hey black don't crack It doesn't black people get signed
bird too.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
As my cousin, I'm skipping skin.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
And it's for women and for men.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
How this on the street? Oh no, you got the beach?
Speaker 4 (17:18):

Speaker 3 (18:00):
So you leaned into mourning mindseht with tie. Yep, can
we talk about that? Of course that means to your community.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You know, I'm I'm learning that it has been a really,
really impactful tool. I'm I'm quite honestly, I'm amazed that
it has been so impactful for people. Thank you, No
but but no, I mean I think thank you, and
I do feel that I'm amazing. There's no concern or
question about that. But it's just it started without any
(18:29):
real plan. Yep. You know, I literally went on IG
Live during the pandemic and just started you know, reading
devotional sharing my my morning routine in order to inspire people.
And it really blossomed and bloomed into something else. And
now I just I feel honored that one. When I
was doing it, I was doing it at a time
(18:49):
where a lot of people weren't thinking that way or
to share that way. So I think that that also
just speaks to a gift in uh equality, that I
have to have foresight around what the opportunity and I
truly believe and I want black women to be well. Yes,
so I want us to be well. I want us
to be whole. I want us to be whole. I
want us to understand, like you know that it's not
(19:12):
just about working out. It's about community, it's about tribe,
it's about fitness, about spirituality, it's about all those things.
So it's it's been incredible. It really really has been incredible. Yeah,
it is incredible. Thank you. You are incredible. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Before we get to what you're manifesting or what you're
working on, for instance, is going to you.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
But I mean if we had, you know, extended time,
we can go into the differences of folks that watch
TV and don't watch TV. You know folks that maybe

a lot of things for causes and for purpose, but
I don't look at those as gigs. I look at
those as me being in service. So but if you
want me to work, pay that. But hey, we need
(22:43):
to own that.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
And I think that black women aren't aren't confident to ask,
not even black women women don't have the confidence to ask,
but they know their worth. Yeah, hey can you can
you come and do a keynote man across the country? Okay,
what's what's the conversation? Here's my rate?
Speaker 2 (23:02):

I've been in a real season of saying no to
a lot of things too, and not just not just
you know, engagements around payment, just showing up everywhere I
am in my season of I don't need to be
in all places. I actually need to be in fewer spaces. Okay, so, Ty,
(23:23):
that was fun. You're so cute. We can ask so
many questions.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I wanted to think you going yeah, because well we
can do two more?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Two more? Okay, yeah more? Long middle toe? No, I
don't like those, and I don't have one. Sorry, but
I think they mean something. I think you're intelligent. Oh
but mine is not that long, but I'm super intelligent.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Okay, so uh so real quick story. I don't think
that the middle toe is middle. I think the middle
toe is the second toe. So I think the middle
toe is the closest toe to the big toe. I
know that doesn't make sense because that toe for me
is long.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
So like I got a long middle to. I'm intelligent.
So what'd you think I'm going to say, Yeah, and
let's give her one more.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Let's give it one more. Do all is fair? All
is fair in love and war? All is fair in
love and war? Uh?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Not really, it's I don't think it's. No, I don't
think much is fair. I think that we're we're constantly
looking to create fairness and balance. But no, what about you?

real blessing in the gift I am manifesting. Ah wow,

bigger than people think, Like I'm looking at real estate development,
a lot of things in terms of wellness, communities, and

and peace and working less and being more very simple.
