Have you ever felt the exhilarating rush of stepping into your true self, shedding the expectations of others like a snake discards its old skin? That's the journey we're on today as Hazel Brown walks us through the labyrinth of personal authenticity and the friendships that challenge and shape our core values. Together, we unpack life's lessons and the wisdom Hazel's mother bestowed upon her, illuminating how the company we keep can either anchor us to mediocrity or catapult us towards self-fulfillment. We delve into the nuances of staying genuine in a world that often rewards conformity and discover why being seen, heard, and genuinely understood can be the compass that guides us to our true north.
Strap in for a transformative ride as we equate the hard work of personal growth with the determined hero's ascent in classic video games. Hazel encourages us to bet on ourselves with the same fervor we'd storm Bowser's castle or dodge barrels from Donkey Kong, reminding us that life's most rewarding achievements demand our sweat and unshakeable faith. And when we're tempted to shrink back into the crowd, she's right there cheering us on, fueling our drive to grow, glow, and boldly occupy the space we're meant to fill. This is more than just a conversation; it's a heartfelt rally cry to step into the light of our dreams and live without apologies, with the unwavering belief that we are each worthy of a life that's as abundant and authentic as we dare to make it.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Hey, hey, hey, you are now tuned in to the it's the
Human Experience Podcast.
I'm your host, hazel Brown.
Welcome, welcome.
It's your first time here.
Welcome, welcome, yay.
Thanks so much for joining.
If you're a return listener,thank you, thank you.
I appreciate your support.
I hope that this episodeprovides you nothing but value
(01:34):
nuggets and all the things.
I'm going to jump into theepisode because lately I've been
thinking.
I've been thinking about how mywhole life I've said things
like man, I wish life came withlike a blueprint, have a compass
to learn how to live our lifeand decide the direction in
(01:54):
which we want to go and take.
And as I evolved, I started tothink well, no, we have
something called an intuition,we have a gut.
God constantly tells us things,we have downloads and when
we're still enough, wecompletely have some sense of
(02:18):
direction in terms of how weshould live our lives.
And then my thoughts evolvedover time and I started to
realize that as a society we'restubborn when I think about
sayings that I've heard over theyears, like easy come, easy go,
(02:44):
be careful of the company youkeep, walk by faith, not by
sight.
Just three different sayingsthat I can share with you that
I'm sure we've all heard on ourjourneys to growing into the
person that we are today.
(03:06):
I remember as a child, my momtelling me to be careful of the
company I was keeping.
As young as middle school, Ihad a friend that wasn't
necessarily making the rightdecisions.
In fact, I'll become a littlebit more transparent and share
that.
My mom was dropping me off to afriend's house.
(03:27):
I got out the car and my friendwas in between the legs of a
grown man and my mom said no, no, honey, get back in this car,
not today, not tomorrow, notever.
And in that moment I couldn'tunderstand what was wrong with
(03:47):
my mom.
I thought to myself I'm notdoing the things she's doing.
She was actually three yearsolder than me, so I didn't see
anything wrong with her behavior.
I couldn't understand why Iwasn't allowed to be around
people that were making poordecisions in terms of my mom
(04:08):
seeing that clearly, because Ifelt like my mom should know
that she's raised a child whofirmly knows how to make
decisions based on what makessense for her.
She should know that I was aborn leader and wouldn't make
the same mistakes as someoneelse.
I was the kind of person whereI can look at someone else
(04:29):
making a mistake and realizelike, oh, I don't want to do
that, that's not for me.
So in that moment I justcouldn't wrap my head around why
it is that I had to come backin the car.
I fast forward because, as I'veevolved through the years, I've
(04:51):
had many friendships thatnecessarily didn't have my same
values, but I saw that they hada good heart, they were a good
person and I enjoyed thelaughter that we shared together
.
I enjoyed being able to show upas my full self with that
person.
But maybe our values didn'ttotally align.
(05:13):
And so, as I've continued toevolve, this episode should
really be called evolution,right, because we're all
evolving every single day.
But as I continue to evolve, Istarted to realize, wow, mommy
used to tell me to be careful ofmy circle.
(05:34):
And as I've evolved in terms offinding fulfillment and what
truly matters to me, what trulymakes me happy, what truly makes
me light up, I've learned thatI have to be careful with my
circle.
I have to make sure that I showup authentically in every
(05:56):
situation, every single day,whether it be at work, whether
it be walking down the street Idon't know how often I walk down
the street other than toexercise and to get out my car.
But the point is, in everyinteraction and every way that I
show up, I have to be myhighest self and my truest self,
(06:18):
because that is what allows youto attract the kind of people
that are at the same frequencyas you.
And by doing that, you start tofeel more heard, you start to
feel more seen, you start tofeel more understood, you start
to feel like, wow, this is thelife for me.
And that realization and thatlevel of fulfillment and
(06:42):
self-actualization and happinessdoesn't come until you embrace
your true self and surroundyourself with people who get you
, with people who have walked insimilar paths, not because
you're both wounded, not becauseyou both are hurting and
(07:05):
sobbing in your pity together,but because you both have worked
on yourselves to where you're,at a place in your life to where
you can look back and reflectand say, yes, I've overcome that
, yes, I'm continuing to heal.
Yes, I choose to serve, Ichoose to be passionate, I
(07:27):
choose to live a purpose-drivenlife and because of those
choices, you're able to betterconnect.
I want to also move into easycome, easy goes, because I feel
like I heard that so much inlife and, um, leave it in the
comments.
(07:48):
If you heard that too, rate theepisode five stars If this is
resonating with you.
We hear easy come, easy goes andit makes sense.
We're like, yeah, that's true.
Like you know, it came easy asquick for you to lose it.
Like, oh, somebody just gave methis five dollar bill and, okay
(08:08):
, I lost it.
You know simple mind thinking.
But when you're starting to tryto bet on yourself and you're
starting to really push throughand work on your goals and
you're trying to reallycondition yourself and see how
far you can go, and you start toget through places and you're
(08:31):
like, yep, I done, checked offthat, I've done this, I've done
that.
But now you're trying to go upa level, you're trying to raise
your vibration, you're trying tobecome your next highest self,
you're trying to get to thatnext level, like you were
playing Donkey Kong or Marioback in the day and you're like,
(08:52):
ooh, this is hard, this is noteasy.
Easy come, easy goes.
It takes work to get to yournext level.
It takes work to become yourhighest self.
(09:12):
It is not something thathappens easily.
The ease is in knowing that youare doing something that is
truly aligned to who you are asa person and the calling over
your life.
That is the ease the ease inknowing that you're doing it for
(09:33):
you.
But, honey, the hard is that itwon't be easy.
You will have to get overyourself many times, almost
daily, listen.
You will have to get overyourself and realizing, yeah, I
got another obstacle.
What do I do?
(09:53):
Do I find a solution?
Do I get out of my way?
Do I understand that?
I got what it takes, just likeI had what it's helped for other
things?
Or do you play around in yourhead and get stuck, cross your
hands and tell yourself it's notfor me, I can't do it?
(10:16):
And then, slowly but surely,you start winding down levels to
the person that you worked sohard to not be.
Yes, I said not be All, becauseat some point, as you started to
work on another level, you hadto overcome the new obstacles,
(10:37):
the new journey, the newhardship in order to level up,
like we're playing a game, andget to the next level.
And I share that because, interms of relating it to playing
Mario's or Donkey Kong or SonicI used to love Sonic life was
(10:58):
teaching us that you pass alevel and you go to a new level
and there's a bigger person tofight, there's a new obstacle,
there's another maze you have toget through and, man, are we
(11:19):
happy when we beat that level.
But guess what?
The next level?
It has something for us.
But it's such an amazing feelingto know that if you embrace the
person that you know you arefrom a self-worth standpoint and
being confident to know thatyou have what it takes to do
(11:40):
whatever it is that you put yourmind to, you'll beat the level
and in fact, you end up beatingthe game.
And when you beat the game, youmay, you know, sit down for a
little bit and relax and justenjoy life and what you build.
But over time, you're gonna nowwant to play a new game, or
even play that same game again,to see things that you didn't
(12:02):
see the first time, just likewhen you're watching a movie.
You're like, man, I didn't evennotice that the first time.
Wow, I look at from a differentperspective as watching that
same show versus when I was achild or a teenager, or last
week.
It is okay to embrace theconcept that things take work.
(12:25):
I want to lastly sit in thewalk by faith and not by sight,
because I feel like, as we arebetting on ourselves and going
after these goals and taking upspace and being unapologetic
about who we're called to be,you are going to have to walk by
(12:47):
faith and not by sight.
You are going to feel it inyour spirit to know that you are
supposed to do more with yourlife, whatever that looks like
for you, and you are gonna haveto trust that.
That was a conversation betweenyou and God, because you were
not watching TV saying, hey, Iwant to be like Jada and I
(13:10):
watched something on my storiestoday on Instagram.
That's why you got to becareful of who you follow and
what you watch, and I sawsomething with her, so she comes
to mine, but separate from that.
Oh my god, jada cut her hairbald.
I need to Child know my head'sbig.
I'm not doing it.
The point of sharing that issometimes what you're seeing on
(13:32):
TV, social media and all thethings that can cause you to go
after a goal or go after apassion, or go after a project
or move to a place or pursue acareer or pursue a business.
But it's not your own thought,it's not your own idea.
The reason I bring that intoplay is that if it's not your
(13:55):
own thought and it's not yourown idea when you hit these
obstacles, it's gonna be hard towalk by faith and not by sight.
It is going to be hard to notconsider everything about the
experience hard as opposed tothe ease, because you're aligned
to what it is you're doing.
So I would not be a goodsteward and vessel of my gifts
(14:22):
if I did not share with you thatyou have to make sure whatever
you're doing is for you, it'sfully aligned with what feels
right to you, because if youdon't, that is a whole nother
episode in terms of the chaosthat you're dealing with
mentally in the difficulty ofhow it is to be able to
(14:45):
accomplish your goals, in partbecause it's not your goal.
But I'm going to move intobecause I digress the walk by
faith and not by sight.
When it's yours, you're goingto have to just know that it's
(15:05):
yours.
God gave this to you.
He wouldn't trust you with thevision, the thought, the
anything if he didn't have yourback, and you're not going to
always have the full blueprintin the way that you expect it.
When you're making smallerdecisions, that can be hard as
(15:28):
well.
Like I'm going to college, Iknow I need to complete X amount
of semesters.
I know what kind of grades Ineed to be able to accomplish
and achieve in order to get thedegree.
This job requires this kind ofdegree with this many years of
experience.
So I know I need to go find twoyears of experience in order to
(15:48):
get to that level.
It is a little bit more clearin those kind of goals, despite
the fact that it feels hard ingoing through the conditioning
and the process.
But when you start masteringthose kind of goals and those
things and you get out intothings to where the vision is
(16:11):
not societal, it is not go get adegree and get a job, it is not
get to the CEO level.
It is make an impact, make adifference and bet on yourself
so that you create a legacy andcreate that generational wealth
and be the curse breaker in yourfamily.
(16:31):
Those visions are different andthose visions require you to
have faith the size of a mustardseed.
It requires you to keep goingand waiting on God to continue
to tell you what direction to go.
When your spirit tells you todo something, your reaction time
(16:54):
has to be instant.
It cannot be.
Oh, but I don't feel like it.
Oh, but not now.
Oh, but I look a mess.
Oh, that's my favorite, I looka mess.
I look a mess right now.
But the point is you have got togo after the things that you
know you're supposed to go after, regardless of how you feel,
(17:18):
regardless of what you think youhave, because if you were
called to it, god will get youthrough it.
Continue to embrace yourauthentic self.
That is my best piece of adviceto you.
If you are showing up as youevery day of the week and you're
coming from an authentic placewith pure intentions you mean
(17:43):
others well and you are simplytrying to evolve into the person
that you have visioned yourselfbeing in terms of what you're
called to be, then it is goingto work out for you.
No one knows the timing of whenit's going to work out, because
it's not on your time.
And that is where it becomesdifficult, because in your mind,
(18:07):
in the way that you wereconditioned, it takes four years
to get a master's degree.
It takes two to three years toget an additional master's
degree.
It takes five to seven years togo ahead and get a PhD.
But in the world of faith andbetting on yourself.
You don't have those societaltimelines that allows you to say
(18:29):
this is when it's going tohappen, that's not how it works,
and so it's unconditioningyourself and reconditioning
yourself to understand that itjust doesn't work that way in
this zone and it's OK.
Enjoy what's in front of you,enjoy the moments, enjoy the
(18:50):
life that you've already built.
As you're working on the lifethat you are building for
yourself in getting to that nextlevel, you deserve all the
things.
Don't be the reason why youdon't become the person that you
know you're called to be.
Keep betting on yourself, keepgrowing and glowing, keep taking
(19:11):
up space, keep beingunapologetically.
You keep going after all thethings, becoming all the things.
You have one life and if youchoose to not bet on yourself
because of fear, because of whatother people think, you are
doing a disservice to yourself.
(19:31):
You don't deserve that life.
Grow into your future self.
Make it happen.
I'm rooting for you.
Break the episode.
Leave me a comment.
I hope this episode wasvaluable.
You were able to get gems andall the things you have.

(13:55):
own thought and it's not yourown idea when you hit these
obstacles, it's gonna be hard towalk by faith and not by sight.
It is going to be hard to notconsider everything about the
experience hard as opposed tothe ease, because you're aligned
to what it is you're doing.
So I would not be a goodsteward and vessel of my gifts
(14:22):
if I did not share with you thatyou have to make sure whatever
you're doing is for you, it'sfully aligned with what feels
right to you, because if youdon't, that is a whole nother
episode in terms of the chaosthat you're dealing with
mentally in the difficulty ofhow it is to be able to
(14:45):
accomplish your goals, in partbecause it's not your goal.
But I'm going to move intobecause I digress the walk by
faith and not by sight.
When it's yours, you're goingto have to just know that it's
(15:05):
yours.
God gave this to you.
He wouldn't trust you with thevision, the thought, the
anything if he didn't have yourback, and you're not going to
always have the full blueprintin the way that you expect it.
When you're making smallerdecisions, that can be hard as
(15:28):
well.
Like I'm going to college, Iknow I need to complete X amount
of semesters.
I know what kind of grades Ineed to be able to accomplish
and achieve in order to get thedegree.
This job requires this kind ofdegree with this many years of
experience.
So I know I need to go find twoyears of experience in order to
(15:48):
get to that level.
It is a little bit more clearin those kind of goals, despite
the fact that it feels hard ingoing through the conditioning
and the process.
But when you start masteringthose kind of goals and those
things and you get out intothings to where the vision is
(16:11):
not societal, it is not go get adegree and get a job, it is not
get to the CEO level.
It is make an impact, make adifference and bet on yourself
so that you create a legacy andcreate that generational wealth
and be the curse breaker in yourfamily.
(16:31):
Those visions are different andthose visions require you to
have faith the size of a mustardseed.
It requires you to keep goingand waiting on God to continue
to tell you what direction to go.
When your spirit tells you todo something, your reaction time
(16:54):
has to be instant.
It cannot be.
Oh, but I don't feel like it.
Oh, but not now.
Oh, but I look a mess.
Oh, that's my favorite, I looka mess.
I look a mess right now.
But the point is you have got togo after the things that you
know you're supposed to go after, regardless of how you feel,
(17:18):
regardless of what you think youhave, because if you were
called to it, god will get youthrough it.
Continue to embrace yourauthentic self.
That is my best piece of adviceto you.
If you are showing up as youevery day of the week and you're
coming from an authentic placewith pure intentions you mean
(17:43):
others well and you are simplytrying to evolve into the person
that you have visioned yourselfbeing in terms of what you're
called to be, then it is goingto work out for you.
No one knows the timing of whenit's going to work out, because
it's not on your time.
And that is where it becomesdifficult, because in your mind,
(18:07):
in the way that you wereconditioned, it takes four years
to get a master's degree.
It takes two to three years toget an additional master's
degree.
It takes five to seven years togo ahead and get a PhD.
But in the world of faith andbetting on yourself.
You don't have those societaltimelines that allows you to say
(18:29):
this is when it's going tohappen, that's not how it works,
and so it's unconditioningyourself and reconditioning
yourself to understand that itjust doesn't work that way in
this zone and it's OK.
Enjoy what's in front of you,enjoy the moments, enjoy the
(18:50):
life that you've already built.
As you're working on the lifethat you are building for
yourself in getting to that nextlevel, you deserve all the
things.
Don't be the reason why youdon't become the person that you
know you're called to be.
Keep betting on yourself, keepgrowing and glowing, keep taking
(19:11):
up space, keep beingunapologetically.
You keep going after all thethings, becoming all the things.
You have one life and if youchoose to not bet on yourself
because of fear, because of whatother people think, you are
doing a disservice to yourself.
(19:31):
You don't deserve that life.
Grow into your future self.
Make it happen.
I'm rooting for you.
Break the episode.

What it takes, don't be thereason that you don't win.
