Episode Transcript

Dr. Makeba (00:00):
Welcome to SolSocial with Dr.
Makeba and friends.
I'm Dr.
Makeba, your guide on thissacred journey of
self-discovery, healing, andtapping into the wisdom that has
always been within you.
This is the place wherespirituality meets everyday
life, and each episode isdesigned to help you connect
with your higher self.

(00:22):
You've been training for thismoment, and now you're ready to
step into your life.
This is your time to embrace thewisdom that has always been
within you.
Today, we begin with somethingpowerful.
The idea that we've beenpreparing for this moment, this
age of light for lifetimes.
It's no coincidence that you'rehere and together.

(00:46):
We'll explore what that meansand how we can live out this
calling in practical ways.
So grab a cup of tea, take adeep breath, and let's dive in.
You've been training for thismoment and now you're ready to
step into your light.
This is your time to embrace thewisdom that's always been within
you.

(01:06):
You've probably felt it.
The shift, the world isn't thesame as it was a few years ago.
Even more and more people arewaking up.
Feeling that there's somethingbigger calling them.
We've been asked to step intoour true selves in a way that we
may not have been ready for.
This is the age of light, andthe beautiful thing is we've

(01:31):
been preparing for this momentfor lifetimes.
Now, before you think I'mgetting too mystical here, let's
bring it down to earth.
What does this mean in youreveryday life?
It means that everything you'vebeen through.
All the ups and downs, all thelessons, the heartbreaks, the
breakthroughs have been shapingyou.

(01:51):
You've been gathering wisdom,and now it's time to put it into
practice.
But how?
That's the big question, right?
I wanna start by saying you'remore ready than you think you
are.
There's this idea that we haveto be perfect.
Full headed or enlightenedbefore we can step into our
purpose, but that's just nottrue.

(02:11):
The age of light is aboutstepping toward all that has
been laid out for you in all ofyour imperfect, glorious self,
and trusting that you've gotwhat it takes.
So let's talk tools.
Let's get practical, startingwith number one, and that is
recognizing your light.
I wanna start with a simplepractice that helps you

(02:33):
recognize your own light, evenon those days when you're not
feeling so shiny every morningbefore you get caught up in the
hustle.
Take a moment to sit quietly.
You don't need anything.
Fancy, a quiet space, acomfortable seat in just a few
minutes.
Place your hand on your heart,and I want you to say this out

(02:54):
loud.
I am light.
I am here for a reason.
I am ready to shine.
It may sound simple, but trustme, starting your day with this
kind of intention sets the tonefor everything else you're
reminding yourself that nomatter what happens, no matter

(03:15):
the challenges, you've got thislight inside of you that's
unstoppable.
Tool number two, embracing yourjourney and your imperfections.
I want you to think aboutsomething important.
Everything you've been throughhas prepared you for this
moment.
Even the hard stuff, especiallythe hard stuff, even the things

(03:39):
you wish you could forget, thoseexperiences have shaped you in
ways that make you stronger,wiser, and definitely more
capable than you realize.
We sometimes think that we'rebroken because of these things
that happen.
No, we're bruised, but we'reresilient.

(04:01):
We are very, very resilient.
Here's a practical way you canstart embracing your journey.
Take some time to write downthree experiences that shaped
you.
They can be positive ornegative.
It doesn't matter.
After you've written them down,ask yourself, what did I learn
from this?
And then ask, how can I use thisexperience to help others or

(04:24):
even myself?
It's a powerful exercise becauseit takes the things we've often
tried to avoid thinking aboutand turns them into tools for
growth.
And in this age of light, that'sexactly what we need.
People who are willing to stepinto their own stories and use
them as a force for good.

(04:46):
Rule number three, connectingwith the bigger picture.
Now, let's zoom out a bit.
The age of light isn't justabout personal growth, it's also
about understanding that we arepart of something much bigger.
We are connected to each other,to the universe.
It's something greater thanourselves.

(05:07):
I wanna leave you with this toolfor connection.
At the end of your day, take afew minutes to reflect.
Ask yourself, how did I connectwith the world today?
What small moments reminded methat I'm part of something
bigger?
Maybe it was a conversation witha friend that sparked something

(05:28):
inside of you, or maybe it wasjust looking up at the stars.
These moments of connection areeverywhere.
If we're paying attention andthey're a reminder that we're
not alone in this.
So as we wrap up today'sepisode, I want you to remember
this.
You've been training for thisfor lifetimes.

(05:48):
You are light, you are ready.
The tools I've shared today,recognizing your light,
embracing your journey, andconnecting with the bigger
picture are here to support youas you navigate this exciting
and sometimes challenging time.
The age of light is calling allof us to step up.

(06:11):
beautiful.
