Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hey, they're beautiful people. This is miss unapologetic and you're
listening to keeping it real now. I'm so happy to
have you with me today as we dive into some
intriguing and heartfelt topics. In today's episode, we'll be answering
some of your burning questions. First up, we'll be offering
advice to Melody P, who is contemplating dating again after
(00:27):
the heartbreaking loss of her husband. Next, we'll address a
question from Michael m about our social media presence and
a little bit about my personal relationship status. And finally,
we'll discuss Kiki twenty two's journey of self discovery after
taking our quiz on people pleasing so stick around. It's
(00:48):
going to be a meaningful and insightful episode. Melody P.
Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your
story with us. It's never easy to open up about
such personal experiences, and I want to take a moment
to express my deepest condolences for your loss. Losing a
spouse is one of the most challenging things anyone can
(01:10):
go through, and my heart goes out to you. You
mentioned that it's been three years since your husband's passing
and you're considering whether or not you should start dating again.
First and foremost, it's vital that you embark on this
new journey only when you feel emotionally prepared. Grief has
(01:31):
no timeline, and it's essential to listen to your heart
and intuition. That said, I believe your late husband would
not wish for you to be alone. He would want
you to find happiness and companionship once you're ready. In
today's society, the way we meet romantic partners has evolved significantly.
(01:54):
People are now finding love in the most everyday places
like supermarkets. It's amazing how a simple conversation over groceries
can lead to meaningful connections. Speaking of groceries, did you
know that the items you purchase can sometimes send signals
about your readiness to engage with others. For instance, someone
(02:15):
buying fresh ingredients for a home cooked meal might seem
more approachable and open to conversation. Just a little fun fact,
you might want to avoid purchasing pineapples since they can
sometimes signal a desire to engage in swinging activities. It's
all about subtle messaging and being mindful of how we
present ourselves. Take things slow, trust your instincts, and when
(02:39):
the time feels right, put yourself out there. The world
is full of wonderful possibilities, and when you're ready, you'll
find that special someone who resonates with you. Thank you again,
Melody for your heartfelt question, and I wish you all
the best on your journey to finding love once more.
Moving on to our next question, I want to give
(03:00):
a shout out to Michael. M Michael, thank you so
much for expressing your interest in our podcast. I'm thrilled
to hear that you find our episodes intriguing and that
you're planning to look us up on social media. That's
exactly the kind of engagement we love to see from
our listeners. Now, Michael also had a very sweet compliment
(03:23):
for me. He mentioned that he finds my appearance appealing
and went on to ask about my relationship status. Well, Michael,
first and foremost, thank you for the kind words. It's
always nice to hear positive feedback from our listeners. As
for your question about my relationship status, I'm happy to
share that I am currently in a committed relationship. It's
(03:46):
always rewarding to find someone who compliments you and shares
the same values in life goals. But enough about me, Michael.
I'm glad you're enjoying the podcast, and I'm excited to
have you join our community on social media. I'm looking
forward to seeing your comments and interactions there. Keep those
(04:07):
questions and compliments coming, folks. I love hearing from each
and every one of you. Let's keep the conversations going
and continue to support one another on our individual journeys. Next,
we have a message from Kiki twenty two. Kiki recently
took our quiz on people pleasers and shared her discovery
(04:28):
that she falls into this category. Thank you, Kiki for
reaching out and for your honesty. Recognizing that you may
have people pleasing tendencies is a significant first step towards
personal growth and improvement. First, let's talk about what it
means to be a people pleaser. People pleasers often find
(04:49):
it challenging to say no, may prioritize other's needs over
their own, and often seek validation through the approval of others.
While it's wonderful to care for and support the people
around us, this can sometimes come at the expense of
our own well being and happiness. So Kiki, you're not
alone if you feel this way. Many of us have
(05:10):
been there at some point. The key is to find
a balance where you can be kind and helpful to
others without neglecting your own needs. It's crucial to set
healthy boundaries. Start by saying no to small requests that
don't align with your priorities. Practice self care and make
time for activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. Also,
(05:34):
remind yourself that it's okay to put your needs first.
Sometimes doing so does it make you selfish, it makes
you human. And remember, those who care about you will
respect your boundaries and appreciate the authentic version of you.
Thank you, Kiki for sharing your journey with us. I
hope these insights help you navigate your path to self
(05:57):
discovery and empowerment. You're doing an excellent job by simply
being aware and taking steps to create a healthier balance
in your life. Keep it up. Thank you all so
much for joining me on this special episode of Keeping
It Real Now. I truly appreciate each and every one
of you for tuning in and engaging with our contents.

space with you today. Remember to check the show notes
for any links or resources mentioned during our discussions. Your
support and feedback mean the world to me, and it
helps us continue to create content that resonates with you.
If you have any questions, stories, or thoughts you'd like
(06:42):
to share, feel free to connect with me and, as always,
keep being your authentic selves. Until next time, beautiful people,
stay real and take care
