Season 2 Ep 22: A riff on real life

Welcome to this chill 5-minute episode, where I dive into the ups and downs of everyday motivation. In this episode, I open up about feeling a bit off track lately and why that’s totally okay. I'm noticing a shift in how I live—it’s less about the hustle and more about who I am being and how it’s more important to listen to our inner voice. Thanks for being a part of my podcast fam; let’s explore this vibe together.

So, if you're ready to rewriteyour story and live life that's
bold, authentic andunapologetically yours, let's
dive in.
Hi, welcome back.
Okay, if I sound a littledifferent, I'm not in my studio
and I am not using my podcastmicrophone or even on my
computer.
I'm actually recording this onmy voice memos on my phone right

(00:42):
now in my computer.
I'm actually recording this onmy voice memos on my phone right
now in my car.
So hopefully it doesn't soundtotally horrible or really
echoey or anything like that.
Okay, I got to be real with you.
I have not been very motivatedto post on social media or to
even record podcast episodes,which is kind of crazy, because
those both, both those thingsare my number one income

(01:02):
generators.
This little podcast I have hasbrought me more money than
Instagram has number one, whichis so wild, and number two,
instagram is another top, not mynumber one, it's another top
income generator and I have justnot been feeling the vibe and
so I want to talk about that,because maybe I've said that in

(01:25):
the past but I'm approaching itdifferently.
I'm actually giving myselfgrace with this.
It was spring break for theboys last week and I'm exhausted
, like can't even tell you howexhausted I am.
I love it and I really put workon the back burner other than
my top, top one-on-one clients,which all my one-on-one clients
are top back burner, other thanmy top, top one-on-one clients,
which all my one-on-one clientsare top.

(01:46):
So, other than my top clients,I really put everything on the
back burner.
I left people on read in theDMs, I let laundry build up, I
let a lot of things justcompletely like.
I didn't do any kind of contentprep, nothing, didn't record a
podcast episode, which is crazyand just bless my podcast editor
.
He's amazing.
Like first of all, like I gotto toot this guy's horn.

(02:08):
Like give him a shout out Ifyou're not using an editor for
your podcast like never.
What are you doing?
Number one, what are you doing?
Like I, I just don't get it.
It more than pays for itself.
And my guy is so great.
Jason is amazing.
He's with hey Guys Media and hewill just he knows me really
well and he'll be like, just hopon and tell people what's going
on, don't skip this week.
Just hop on and tell peoplewhat's going on.

(02:29):
And so I have to give a shoutout to him.
He's absolutely incredible.
I've used him the entire timeand it's just so much value.
Like you don't even know ifyou're editing them yourself or
you're not.
Like it just energeticallyboosts you.
So I would definitely checkthat out.
You can access any of hisinformation in the show notes.
But so I'm hopping on just to belike hey, I feel behind, but

(02:50):
that's a choice for me to feelbehind.
Are you feeling me?
Like I don't need to beatmyself up or play this game in
my head that I'm behind.
What?
Who's to say I'm behind?
Do you know what I mean?
Okay, I haven't posted anythingin a couple days and I haven't
even really been on my stories.
So the fuck what?
So what who's telling me I'mnot going to make money from
that.

(03:11):
And this is all around movingdifferently, having a different
conversation in your head thanyou are right now, because if
you are caught up in like I needmore engagement or I need to be
doing something to getsomething that my friend is
chasing, that's chasing andthat's a loop that you will die
on and I don't want you to dothat.
I'm walking this myself and Ireally have gotten the feeling

(03:33):
down of like when I pull backand I slow down and I listen to
do I feel like posting somethingtoday or do I feel like I need
to Big, big difference and Ifollow whatever feels good and
then from there I make sure Ichill out over my decision and I
commit to it.
So I don't want to post rightnow, I don't want to do a lot of

(03:54):
these prepping and planning andhaving an episode with a guest
and all these other things.
So I'm not going to do thatright now and you know what.
I'm just going to focus onbeing my most authentic self in
alignment.
And you know what I'm justgoing to focus on being my most
authentic self in alignment,walking within my edge, and
trust that by me doing that andfollowing my joy, everything's
going to fall into place.
When I did this in July, august,september, my business 7X.

(04:15):
Now there's a whole lot morestrategy to it.
So don't just think like, oh, Idon't do anything and
something's going to happen.
There's also other stuff behindthe scenes, but energetically
chilling out is like number one.
So I'm feeling a shift rightnow and I can't wait to see
where it goes, cause anytime inmy past when I felt the shift to
literally pull way back, hitthe pause button, chill out the

(04:37):
biggest pop in my business comesand the biggest pop in my life
comes, and right now my businessis humming.
I am so absolutely fuckinggrateful for where my business
is.
Like I have dreamt and dreamtand dreamt of this and now I get
to just enjoy it and chill out.
I'm not starving to hit a newmilestone, like I'm so good.
I've hit milestones I haven'teven really told any of y'all

(04:57):
about, because I don't feel theneed to, because I'm living such
a fun life right now, living inthe moment, moment.
Now.
Sure is mom life hard?
Is it kicking my bootysometimes?
Yes, but these years are shortand I am prioritizing spending
time with my boys and filling upmy cup, because there was a
good family friend who actuallyrecently passed away from cancer

(05:17):
.
It was all over his body.
It was heartbreaking, and hewas a very, very, very
successful, well-off man.
And it's like his passing eventhough I know all this stuff,
like I talked to you about thisstuff, his passing.
Just put it in perspective againfor me.
Like we are not promisedtomorrow, I'm not promised I'll
make it till summer.
Like who knows what will happen.
So I'm going to choose to livelife to the fullest.

(05:40):
As cheesy as this stuff sounds,right, I'm going to move within
my edge.
I'm going to own who I am.
I'm not going to water her downanymore because I swear if I
all of a sudden find out I havecancer all over my body and I've
got weeks to live.
Like is that when I really wantto start living?
Like you feeling me?
So, anyways, hopping on here,quick rant, I wanted to make
this short and sweet and behonest and real with y'all.

(06:00):
Like you won't know unless Ishare it with you.
So again, thank you, jason forempowering me to hop on and
share from my heart, although Ireally do sometimes, but I
really was needing that nudge.
