Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Mojo in the Morning show yesterday on the show,
(00:03):
and I got emotional when her sister called her up
during the show, and I thought that was beautiful that
Bianca posted that. If you didn't see that, you can
go onto our Instagram. I thought it was sweet because
of your sister called up and your sister said some
very very nice things about you. And then you guys
talked to each other for a brief moment and you
(00:25):
mentioned something about how you're going through like a little struggle.
But then after the show happened, we had one of
those moments as a show.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
So how you doing today?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I'm doing okay. So something that I've always struggled with
is talking about how I'm feeling when I'm going through something.
I don't know if this is common for people, but
when I'm going through something tough, I would rather not
talk about it to literally anyone until I have some
(00:57):
sort of resolution or some answers, because I just I
don't what is there to say, besides everything's going terribly
in this situation. Yesterday, my sister called I was having
a tough day already. We have been going through something
that I'm not ready to share on air. Yet for
probably about the past month, and yesterday was just hard.
(01:20):
When I woke up when she called, I got emotional
and started crying. So I felt that I needed to
tell the show of what was going on because y'all
are probably like, why is this girl crying right now?
So I did, and immediately after I mentioned it, Shannon
was like, if you ever need to talk, I went
(01:42):
through something very similar and it's just crazy to me
how my instinct is to not talk about it at all.
But when I did talk about it, I instantly had
some relief because I was like, wow, like somebody else
went through this and can help me through it. And
it was just a reminder that maybe it's not always
(02:04):
good to just.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Keep your feelings in. Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, so thank you Shannon, And yeah, definitely something I
will open up to the listeners about.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Now is just not the time.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You know, It's funny because of when your sister called up.
The thing that I loved was I loved it's cool
to have siblings, Like siblings are cool, it's cool to
also have your siblings tell you how much they love
you and how how what you mean to be and
nobody knows you better than probably your siblings. I know,
(02:41):
I know, we think our friends know us, but there's
something about the fact that you guys came out at
the same place.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
And I also think a moment like yesterday, Anna it like,
That's one of the really cool things about this show
is I think that sometimes we have people in our life,
and in this case, your sister who you like, you
want to say things like that too. You want to
tell somebody how much they mean to you. Maybe the
occasion never arises, or you're nervous to for whatever reason,
(03:08):
or it's just like we don't talk to each other
that way, and so yesterday was that opportunity and I
could tell that that that wasn't maybe a common thing
or you just really needed it in that moment full transparency.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
My sister and I are like five years apart, so
we've never been super close, Like we don't talk about emotions.
That's actually my entire family. We never have talked about
our emotions. So hearing her say that, I was like, WHOA,
that's weird because usually we're fighting or not talking. And
it just meant a lot. So thank you, Allisons.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Can I also to say this about it as a
show like you talk about siblings. I think that you
guys are like siblings too, all you know, like to me,
and I know that we kind of played, you know,
like we talk about family, like we're like a family.
And I always said, I always loved that, and then
I realized we're not necessarily a family, but we're a
work family and we're an extension of what a family
(04:01):
can be. But it's nice because we spend so many
hours together to be able to and I've done it
in the past, all of us, I think have done it.
We've come to each other and said, hey, I'm going
through this. It's nice to be able to open up
and say that, and I could tell that you felt
relieved I did. And then afterwards we did shots together,
(04:24):
which is kind nice to have a bar. But I
in my case of where I've said something to you
guys and told you guys something that was going on
in my real family's life, it's awesome to be able
to know that you guys can be trusted with what
you were just told and that I know that you
(04:44):
guys are going to protect me and protect my family
and pray for us.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
And you know what, I mean, like I really do.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I think it's I feel bad when I talk to
my friends about their work. I feel bad that not
everybody gets to work in a safe environment like this,
Like there are people that just punch clocks, you know
what I mean, or some people that don't even know
who their coworkers are. And the sad part is you
don't know what you're what that person that may be
in a hole to you that you work with, or
(05:14):
somebody that just basically is the person you just say
hi to, you don't know what they're going through, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
YEA weight is.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
A real thing, man, And I feel as though we
are all blessed with the ability to hold a certain
level of weight, and sometimes life provides more weight than
we've been blessed with the ability to carry, and the
only thing we can do in many instances is give
(05:42):
it to God, but also release it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And when you finally.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Exhale and release and you're provided a safe environment to
do that, then you get back to carrying the weight
that you were supposed to carry in the first place.
And I think that's a problem with like a lot
a society right now, is like we're holding a lot more.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Than we're all trying to process on our own, yeah,
and also trying to to I don't want to use
the word pretend in my mind because I don't know
why that's in my mind though, But you know, we
want to hold more than what we're allotted and find
your people, even if it's journaling or if it's whatever
the case is, but like let some of that weight
(06:23):
go because it's so freeing.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, me is freeing, and more people feel the same way,
more chances than not, I think.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Jessica, what's happening in this mojo on the morning? Good morning,
guys morning.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
I was just calling in to say, you know, Anna,
I completely understand I do the same thing.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
And it's my.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
Reasoning is because everyone goes through things and I just
don't feel like I want to burden people with my problems,
like keep everything inside. And I've come to realize it's
not a healthy thing to do, because yes, like you
have said, it feels great when you do actually.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Let it out.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
And so I just I feel your pain and yeah,
and I hope everything.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Goes well for you.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
In a lot of cases, you've got to be able
to develop trust before you can do that too, and
you've been so so new to things that sometimes you
don't necessarily know who you're around or who you can trust.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Aaron, what's happening, Hey, Mojo?
Speaker 8 (07:28):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I'm good erin what's going on?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Nothing?
Speaker 8 (07:31):
I just wanted to tell And I'm so proud of
you girl. I'm a therapist and I just wanted to
say that, like, vulnerability drives connection and a lot of
times we hold that in because we feel shame. But
I'm really proud of you for reaching out to Shannon,
and I'm so glad that she could hold space for you.
And I hope you feel like a weight's been lifted.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Definitely do.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
Yeah, that's awesome. I'm really proud of you, and just
keep on keeping on. These emotions aren't going to last
for us. And hopefully you feel like because Shannon could
hold space for you, that you can reach out to
people in the future for sure.

and I love.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Your shown and we love you too.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Can I tell you, Sonny, I turned my therapist onto everybody.
And it's kind of wild that I never run into
people because so many people have gone there to go
see them. But sometimes the best way to get a
therapist is through somebody who you trust, you know what
I mean? And I reckonist. Yeah, So can I say
something real quick? My sister. This is something interesting. My
sister miscarried and and she's a She is a bakery
(09:02):
manager one of our favorite grocery stores. Okay, she goes
in every single day as a bakery manager. And she
asked Tom set up the hours and all this for
people that are working there. And I asked her, I said, so,
how are your coworkers with you know, you being off
from work because of what happened mah, And She's like,
I don't tell anybody. And I said to her, I go,
you don't tell anybody? And she goes, no, because honestly, nobody.
(09:24):
I know, nobody's going to care. And I said, why
do you feel that way? And she goes, because even
if you have a cold or something like that day,
nobody ever says anything to you like, hey, how you
feeling today? Or oh man, you don't you know you
don't look like it looks so good today or whatever
the deal is. And it was a customer that came
up to her. Then the next day after we had
that conversation and said to her, hey, yeah, she's putting
(09:46):
cakes into a refrigerator and said, hey, I see you
every single day and I can tell there's something that
seems like it's.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Burdening you right now. Are you doing okay?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
And literally my sister just went what it opened up
to this person and started having a conversation, and then
coworkers started asking her and I said, sometimes we don't
as people that every single day we work ten twelve
hours a day or whatever we're doing with people every
day just go hey, how are you?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Like, for real, how are you doing?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And I will say this to you.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
There's a guy that works here at the station and
I'm gonna say his name, but Tom came in studio
for a backstage past with friends of his. And I
had no idea Tom's story. And it was a person
that came that he brought in and another person that
was here that told me about you know, Tom and
all the things that he's got going on in his life.
(10:40):
And you know, he's got a beautiful family, but he's
got you know some you know some a child that
deals with a handicap, you know, wife also and stuff.
And this guy every single day sits in the African
office right there with a smile on his face and
helps every single one of these salespeople.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
And all of our people.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, and I look at that guy going and this
guy's got a life. I mean, I think my life
is tough because my one kid's not coming home and Thanksgiving,
the other's not coming home at Christmas. And I look
at the stuff going on, and I will say this
to you that we should all take the moment and
this is us too on the show to walk up
to somebody that we normally don't talk to, that maybe
we work with, or we see every single day. The
security guard up at the front, the guy that's sitting
(11:20):
across the street that works at the corn beef place.
You know what, I mean a sales rep or traffic
person and just say how are you doing? Not what
can what are you doing? Or you know, hey, weather's great,
but how are you doing? Yeah, because you never know
if you're going to be the blessing to that person's day.
And honestly, you never know if that person has anybody
(11:43):
that they go home to that they can actually talk to.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
You know, you're great at that country. We're so good
at it.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Ken Kevin, Kevin's a master of I got we had,
we've we've had like engineers forever that honestly, I was
afraid to even talk to because I was afraid I
was gonna get barked at and stuff. And I look
and I see Kevin given like this hand slapped.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
The lady that sits in her car every morning when
we're walking in.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
You're like friends with her.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
See so, But that's but that as honestly, it's like
that stuff has to happen. More like we talk about
the things that have to happen. We got to be
the people that And this is not just us as
a show, but I'm talking about anybody else listening. You
gotta we gotta lead by the example of what we
want you want.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
To see and Anna, I think that you you gave
a really good reminder today of if somebody is trying
to process something really heavy on their own, let somebody in.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Just let somebody in today.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I agreed
