Stummer Banks on x Naomi Bridging aGap podcast and I am here with the
beautiful mode of Goddess. Beautiful,thank you, thank you again. Truly,
I'm ready for folks to hear yourstory, and it's an amazing story,
it really is. First introduce yourselfto my honest the BTG crew.

(07:06):
Well, I am MO the Goddess. I am a fitness and nutrition lifestyle
coach. I also am an adultcontent creator and you pretty much summed it
up. I mean, I'm justwho I am, you know, living
my life on my own terms herein Bali, Indonesia, after giving myself

(07:28):
permission to stand in my power,and you know, I wrote about it
and I am so pleased to behere with you share my story. Thank
you, you know. And thething is I knew I couldn't I needed
to even the title of this show. Well, this topic is the Permission

(07:48):
to Power. Because when I tellyou, when I just read the little
description when you sent me to Lincoln, then when I got the book and
I started reading it, and Iwas like, yes, it definitely have
to be that, because not onlyare you talking about yourself, but you're
talking about so many different people thatgo through the very thing that you went

(08:09):
through. And when I say,I saw myself completely in this book right
here, honey, let me tellyou something. We even shared the same
middle name. Girl. Yes,really, really, I go wow,
talk about alignment, right yes?And Vegas right yes? And I'm from

(08:35):
Las Vegas, yes, yes,So I knew this was meant to be.
This was truly meant to be.So one of the first questions that
I want to ask you is whatbrought you and I know forse got ready
to hear, but for my audienceto know, is what brought you to
write Permission to Power? Well,you know, for a long time I

(09:00):
was going around to people. Firstof all, I'm one of those kind
of people pleasing type of individuals.While I suffered from that for a lot
of years and trying to be accepted, trying to be loved, trying to
be for somebody to care and really, you know, give me the love
that I was missing or I feltlike I was missing. And I used

(09:26):
to go around telling people my story. You know, if I found some
closeness or some connection, I wouldtell people all the time, well,
this happened to me. And ifthis didn't happen to me, people would
see things in me that I didn'tsee in myself. So I felt like
if I justified why I wasn't livingup to my full potential, or if

(09:48):
I justified why, you know,I wasn't this big whatever they they saw
in me and told my story andall the things that happened to me in
my life, that somebody would saveme. Somebody would say, oh that,
you know, shouldn't have happened toyou, or somebody would protect me.

(10:11):
I don't know. I just waslooking for people to advocate for me.
And finally I came across as onesister and I was telling her what
had happened to me, and shewas like, you know what, don't
nobody want to hear your story?Don't nobody want to hear what you have
to say? We all have astory. If you want to tell your
story so bad, write a bookempower yourself rather than you know, being

(10:35):
the victim. So I was like, she hurt my feelings, of course,
you know, but I was like, she're right, I'm getting ready
to write my story. And Ikept holding on to it and holding on
to it and holding on to it, and you know, I didn't want
to expose the people who had hurtme. And you know, everything was

(10:56):
like and I don't know if youor if this was like this in your
family, but in my family,it was like, don't tell what happens
in this house. So a lotof times I would just keep things secret
and sweep it under the rug.And then finally I was like, no,
I'm gonna speak my truth. I'mgonna let this book go whether it's

(11:16):
perfect or not. And that's whatinspired me to write it, just to
get it out of me, youknow, So that I didn't like the
victim anymore? Right, it was? It was. It was quite a
few different things that I like.First of all, I like that you
created each chapter of starting with theletter P from mission and I think the

(11:37):
last one was at Peace was thelast one was the last chapter. The
last one was power. Power.Maybe it was power, pie, I
think that that you you know,girls, look look let me let me
check power. Power. Yeah,it was power. It was power.

(11:58):
You're right, it was power.But also within there, like when I
say, you had a lot ofamazing quotes in here, like a lot
of amazing quotes. So it's somethingthat I want to do different with you
that I did with the other guests, is that I'm going to read a
quote to you and I want youto tell me where you were at at
that moment when you were writing thisbook. And so let me let me

(12:18):
say this to you too. Thisbook, you had me crying. Oh,
you had me crying in the pain, the pain one that was really
I was crying with that because Isaw you. It's like I was sitting
there with your eyes and watching everythingand even the description of your brother sitting

(12:43):
there and watching of confusion. Soit's like I said that that whole that
whole thing, and it was justlike, this baby is going to be
amazing. And as I got throughthe book and I saw you, try
let me shut up because I couldbe just hear reading everybody. Girl,

(13:07):
No, look you you you're workingsomething to me again, like yes,
yeah, So let me tell you. I'm gonna tell you this too.
So one of my good girlfriends,she was like, cause she listened to
my morning show, I got tosee it. Actually, I want you
to come on that show to theseason of self love and this is right
in there. But me and inmy resident of therapist, doctor Will,

(13:31):
we had a great conversation about cultivatingrelationships with empowering people around you, right,
and it was one of them aboutthe difference. We had to break
it all the way down. Soone of the things that we had to
talk about was talking about different peoplein your lives, whether they friends,
families, and stuff like that,and how they relate in your life or
how it was. And so oneof the things was the steal relationships are

(13:54):
still that's one of the highest relationshipswith and that's where you in a relationship
with somebody, whether it's friends,lovers, or folks, that you connect
on a whole deeper level, butalso that you speaking to them and they
speaking to you in that matter andthey understand that that language. So I
told my girlfriend, I said,look, she's gonna be my friend.

(14:16):
By the end of this show,She's gonna be one of my still friends,
you know, because it is thatyour journey is amazing and I am
excited to see what else you havegoing on, you know, And really,
really I can, I really Ican just keep on talking more and

(14:37):
more and more. But let melet me go to this one, this
one right here, I wanna kindof go around some all right, So
this is when you were when youcreated your superhero. Okay, when you
created your superhero goddess, I amgoddess when you created her, and you
said, truthfully, I didn't feellike I possessed any of the wonderful quality

(15:00):
that the goddess had. What qualitieswere you meaning? And what quality do
you think a god is supposed tohave? Well, she's beautiful, she's
inspiring, she's strong, she's confident, she knows who she is. She
stands up for herself. She's powerful, you know, and she stands up

(15:22):
for the people around her who lookup to her. And she wants to
be that individual that people do lookup to. She wants people to look
at her in awe. And thatto me was like, yeah, I
don't have those qualities. I feltlike I didn't at the time, and

(15:48):
everything that I thought I was missingI didn't realize that I was her,
Yes, her whole time, youknow. So, yeah, that that
is the qualities that I feel like. And she's smart, you know,
and I'm not afraid to speak hermind. So to me, that is

(16:12):
those qualities that I was referring to. Right, So here's another question that
I'm going to ask you. Youhad two different characters. Robina is saying,
Robana Robina, right, girl,you say, uh huh, and

(16:32):
the goddess. But I heard youspeak of them in like like they were
not connected to you. But thenI also read that you know, the
one thing is that I understand thatit's the God in me. God is
in me, so that is whyI am a goddess. You understand what
I'm saying. And so as I'mreading a book and I ain't gonna lie,
I thought at the end of itthat it was that I don't.

(16:55):
I don't, girl, I'm aboutto start writing the rest of your story.
I know that you were I wantto say, because in the beginning,
I understand that you're writing it froma place of this is where I'm
I'm grown, I've grown from.But then I thought that you were gonna
and maybe you did, and maybeI was just tripping somewhere that I missed
it that you would be the connectedthat I am goddess. I am her,

(17:17):
so it's I mean, I amthe gods, so there is no
her that I am deep. Youunderstand that I am deep and I didn't
see it in there, and maybebecause I missed it. But you right
now or do you feel I amthe goddess? Yes, and I feel

(17:37):
like I'm graduating to another level ofmy goddesshood. But I started the book
out speaking from the goddess perspective,so that's probably why I didn't end there,
because I started there, okay inthe in the introduction, I was
like, I am goddess and soare you, you know, and then
I went into ging back story,so yeah, yeah, all right.

(18:02):
So here's another one. And Iactually used this in a promo and I
was I was telling my baby Iread this to him and he was like,
oh, that's deep. It saysfor me, I always worried about
what other people would think about metaking up too much space in the world.

(18:23):
Yeah, explain that to my myaudience. Well, I play small
and you know where name Sometimes Istill catch myself be in that way.
M hm, because I know thatI'm a lot. I'm a lot in

(18:45):
my stature, I'm a lot inmy matter of factness, I'm a lot
in the way that I present myselfand people. A lot of people become
offended by me not even know me, you know what I'm saying, Like
they don't even know me. Butfor whatever reason, throughout my childhood and

(19:07):
early adulthood, there was a lotof people who would just like, I
don't know, they just I don'tknow. They became offended or maybe intimidated.
And I used to turn down alot. I don't want to be
too much because if I'm toong,then I'm gonna make somebody uncomfortable, or
if I say what I really feel, I'm gonna make somebody uncomfortable. So

(19:32):
let me just tiptoe around life andstay in this cute little shell, in
this cute little box, so thateverybody else around me is comfortable. Because
I was looking for love. Iwas looking for, you know, somebody
to appreciate me and to care forme. And I felt like if I

(19:53):
offended them, then I pushed thataway. So yeah, I thought that
was so beautifully said. And evenyou know, after that, you say
it's easier for me to stay lockedaway in a box because that's the way
that I wouldn't offend anyone. Mmhmm. And I thought that was I

(20:14):
know a lot of people feel thatway at a moment of time. I
used to feel that way to dimmy life because it was too much or
it's something that you know, peoplehadn't seen before. So I wasn't comfortable.
So it said, you're not comfortablewith your uniqueness, right, yeah,
yeah, m exactly exactly mm hmmm. Yeah. And I realized now

(20:40):
that that uniqueness makes me the amazinggoddess that I am. Yes, the
fact that there is no one elselike me, you know, and that
I do present this way. Yeah. So yeah, And like I said,
I'm still trying to be comfortable withthat. Yeah, you know,
practicing that every day. Every day, I am becoming more of who I

(21:06):
was created to be. And Iwasn't created to be in a box.
So yeah, I'm coming out.I see you. I see you,
girl, I see you, Isee you. All right, here's another
one. And I thought this wasso oh my god, this one right
here and now I'm hopping around.I just want you to know I'm hopping
around again. Okay, all right, So this one is said, when

(21:26):
we begin to heal ourselves and shiftour mindset, unlearning must unlearning most of
what we are conditioned to believe aboutourselves also here to take place. It
takes much discipline and focus to unlearn, as it does to learn anything.

(21:48):
M hm yeah, yeah. Sohere's what I did. Here was my
Here is my process in the healingand the unlearning. First of all,
speaking my truth right, not beingashamed to say, you know, this
happened to because I used to beashamed. I used to be ashamed,
like why doesn't my mama love methe way everybody else's mama loves them?

(22:12):
Why doesn't you know? Why amI not receiving what I see other people
having? You know? Why amI so bad? So what I had
to do was understand like, that'snot that's not on me, that's not
on me, and my past doesnot have to have any effect on my

(22:34):
future. I can just become whoI want to become. And my process
was being disciplined and shutting everybody off, cutting everybody off everything that did not
make me feel good, anybody thatdid not uplift me. People who found
joy in my pain, just cuttingthem off and separating myself from them.

(23:00):
And I had to be really disciplinedin fighting against Robina because she was showing
up all the time. Yeah,so it has to be you battling the
old version of yourself, and thattakes discipline, and that takes focus.
That takes you having to separate yourself, step outside of yourself and go ah,

(23:25):
huher, I see you. No, we're not doing that today.
Nah. If it's not uplifting,if it don't make you feel good,
you don't have to entertain that.Or in those days where I did entertain
that, and I did cry forthat little girl, and I now myself,
I honored those feelings, but didn'tlive there, didn't stay there,

(23:48):
you know. So yeah, ittakes a lot of discipline and it takes
a lot of focus to be ableto heal yourself and unlearn and talk against
those indoctrinated thoughts and feelings and beliefsabout yourself. Yeah. I just I
just love the way that you putthat. I mean I did, I
was like, wow, that's Ilike that. I like the way that

(24:10):
that language. I like that languagethat you put in there. So Robina,
explain to who that is, becauseI gotta find me one. I
gotta find another name for my Iwas dating this guy, right, I
was dating this guy and he usedto joke with me. I used to

(24:32):
be really, really overweight, andthat was part of my defense mechanism as
well. You know, if Ieat, if I cover up, you
know, if I hide behind food, then nobody would look at me.
Nobody's gonna touch me. And youknow that's that's part of me dimming my
light and playing myself down and dummyingdown. Right. So, uh,

(24:53):
this guy that I was dating,we would go out to eat or something
like that, and he would jokeand be like, yeah, Robina,
she came to eat today. Lookat Roba. She killing that food,
you know, and we would kindof laugh about that, and I was
like, yeah, Robina is thesmaller version of myself. She's out of

(25:17):
control. She's a hater. Shefat, ugly, you know, she's
that. She's that that girlfriend thatcome to the club with you, and
she hate on everybody else that's tryingto get to you, you know,
get to know you. Robina isalways just a hater. So you know,
when I see when I start havingnegative thoughts. You know, if

(25:38):
I from judging people, I'd belike Robina, no, uh uh girl,
Na, we're not playing with you, get on up out of here.
So I always referred back to thatname that my ex boyfriend had kind
of given that version of myself,and I thought it was funny. Yeah,

(26:00):
when I was reading and you broughtit back up towards the end,
and I love how you kind ofdivorced, I want to say divorced,
kind of divorced, you know,Robina. I felt that having that ceremony
but also thanking her, you know, just the thing I thought that was

(26:26):
probably one of the most intimate momentsthat was happening in your book was that
moment because it allowed you to It'slike when you you you see yourself growing,
you see a growth, so standingthere and you see your new self
as growth, and then you seeyour old version of you but instead and

(26:47):
you said girl, no, no, no, you say you know,
a baby, thank you, Igot it. I got it that girl.
Thank you for protecting me all inthat time, all of that.
But now it's a new way thatwe gotta we gotta be. But I'm
gonna sing you off. Well,yeah, yeah, I like that.
Mm hmm. Yeah. And weall have we all have two parts of

(27:08):
ourselves if we really honest you knowwhat I'm saying. We have that higher
version of ourselves who is daring,you know, they're they just out there,
not afraid. And then we havethe lower version, that one that
protects us, that one that feelslike it's the ego. It's the ego,

(27:30):
and it feels like it has tostand up for you, but at
the same time, it is standingagainst you and against your growth because that
ego is comfortable being right where itis. And yeah, that's that's the
relationship between me and Robina. She'dbe like peeking around the corner. Sometimes

(27:51):
I'd be like, no, we'vedug girl. Uh uh. But you
know what, I even like theway that you down ego egging God out
mm hmm. Yeah. I've neverheard that before. Have you ever heard
of that? I've never heard thatbefore, and I thought that was I
was like, oh, okay,I'm gonna like that. I'm gonna have

(28:14):
to borrow that. Because anything thatis not of God, anything that is
not you know, conducive to ourgrowth, anything that is not expanding or
stretching us. That's the ego.And God ain't got nothing to do with
you playing small. That's that's theego. So yeah, that's edging God

(28:37):
all the way out. And whenwhen it's time for me to grow,
Like right now, I feel likeI'm in a season of growth. And
it is scary because you've mastered thatold version, right you mastered I got
that, I got her down,pat, But there is also an unveiling

(28:57):
of a newer version of yourself ifyou allow it to come in. And
yeah, if it ain't of God, then it ain't for you, or
maybe it just maybe it is.So you're just not ready for that higher

(29:17):
right right, right, So thisis what we're gonna take a quick break
and then we're gonna come back.But what I want to do is right
now, her book is on sellAmazon and I got dog part. Might
might have to put up a link. So if you guys are listening right
now and you're wondering with this beautifulbook right here, and it's amazing,
it's amazing. It's just not forwomen, it's for men too. I'm
just telling you this because it isman. It's very transformable. It is

(29:41):
very much so. And if youthink still. If you think you got
it all together, we ain't alwaysgot it all together. And sometimes when
you just look at someone else's story, it could trigger something of good.
It could trigger something because that's whatit did for me. That is what
it did for me. And whenwe come back, I have a question
for you if you don't mind.Okay, we switched it. We switched

(30:03):
a robe. One question. Itis related to the book though. Okay,
all right, I thought it's agoodie. Got to stand me back

Lord Have Mercy. I am herewith the beautiful Mother God. She is
the author of Permission to Power,which is an amazing book is right now

(31:33):
on Amazon you can you can grabit and pick it up. Don't worry
about my little pink slips. Theseare notes for myself when I say is
nose and highlight it through. Idefinitely I do my homework and I read
and it's been thiss been great homeworkfor me because not only was it just
for me to know who you areand be able to, you know,
ask you these wonderful questions, butalso it just you know, help me

(31:56):
looking in the mirror with a coupleof things that reminded me of things and
confirmations as well. So I thankyou, I truly thank you for this
book. Yes, yes, wejust put that link up for the books,
so y'all go write to Amazon.All right, all right, well
he had you on you. Hey, okay, we can hear you now,

(32:22):
Okay, I said, And that'smy question. That's what my question
refers to. Is you mentioned thatyou saw a lot of yourself in the
book. Can you explain to uswhat you meant by that, like what
parts of that stood out the mostfor you? For me? Okay,
the first reson one was the writingof the book, about when you decided

(32:47):
to write your book. For me, it's been a minute. I mean,
a book that I've written is moreof a journal that I have.
You know, everybody, so mylife story on me and share my story
and on book. I haven't doneit yet because for some reason, I've
talked myself into waiting until this bigthing get supposed to happen where it can

(33:10):
make sense, Like my story thatI've lived is not enough, you know
what I'm saying. So I understoodall of what you were saying in that
aspect, and I actually kind oflaughed and was like, okay, that's
yeah, that's it. But thenit was some other things too. It
was it was some other things withalso doing things on your own. I

(33:32):
mean, I did do things onmy own. But I love that you
just picked up and left and movedto Atlanta. Just that just you talking
yourself out of things. I sawthat I do that too. You understand

(33:52):
what I'm saying, and so foryou to acknowledge that, And it was
funny because I just talked about thata few days ago or my morning show
about that very thing about talking myselfout of you know, situations because of
either fear or yeah, you saidit a fear of and it's not even
a fear of failure. It's afear of success because you're so used to

(34:15):
failure that that's comfortable for you.So anything that's new, it's like,
man, you know. So it'slike I said, it was a lot
of things in here that was veryrelatable that I that. Yeah, that
I seen that. I was like, Okay, she's she's right on with
that, guess hm hm yep mmhmm. And a lot of things that

(34:37):
was very confirmed for me. Yeah, yeah, m h yeah, yeah,
yeah, all right, you getit. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right. So here here's anotherquestion. It's coming out of the
out of your paining chapter. Okayyou wrote this. Imagine a five year

(35:00):
old little girl just wanting someone tosave her from being continuously left in an
abusive situation. Yeah, yeah,you know. And it's so crazy how

(35:20):
most of my childhood was that way. I grew up. My mother was
married twice and both my stepfathers werevery abusive to me in some sort of
way, and I looked for youknow. It was like every time I

(35:42):
told I wasn't one of those littlegirls who kept it to myself. They
used to call me nosy, youknow, like I don't say nothing in
front of hub because she's gonna repeatit. So I was one of those
little girls that's gonna tell, youknow, and I would tell, and
nothing ever happened. Nobody ever savedme. Nobody ever, you know,

(36:04):
stood up for me. Rather theywould make excuses for the other party.
So then that taught me that myvoice is not valuable and I'm not worthy
of anybody listening to me. Thatwas another reason why I held on to
that book for so long, Likenobody's gonna want to hear what I have
to say, you know, nobodywho cares. And yeah, like most

(36:30):
of my life I was in thatI was left to finn for myself and
be in that abusive environment. Andimagine what that does to you from five
years old on. Imagine the mentalwearing down, the stripping of the spirit,

(36:53):
especially from you know, those aresupposed to be our formative years,
from five to seven years old.That is where we're supposed to you know,
our beliefs start from. So fromthat young girl being left too fit
for herself, nobody's listening to her, nobody's gonna save her, nobody cares
about her, I continue my lifelike that, and quite honestly, even

(37:16):
as an adult, you know,I'm analyzing a lot of what who I
am now, and I believe thatI've been single for so long because that
wall is still there. You know, I can do this by you know,
when I open myself up to behurt or abused, and I can

(37:37):
do this on my own. Soyeah, I've been doing things on my
own for the longest and I feellike, you know, I have to
be the strong savior for myself,or I felt like that, But again
it's the unlearning of those things thatare in place over and over and over,
and even at this age fifty threeyears old, I am still and

(38:00):
learning a lot of things that happenedin the childhood. So so can I
ask you a question, have youever had that conversation with your mother as
an adult, as someone that isgoing through the healing process. I just
had that conversation with her, justfound the courage because it was something that

(38:24):
was eating away at me. Youknow, I had tried to have that
conversation with her for many years,but she would always play it down,
like you're still thinking about that,Like get over that. You know.
I was most of her attitude.And finally last year I got to the

(38:44):
point where I was like, youknow what I have to in order for
me to stretch past this little thistwelve year old because I'm still like emotionally
twelve years old. Every time Italk to her, I'm thinking, Oh,
she's gonna say something different, she'sgonna be different, She's going to
be different, and she's never different. Yeah. So I had the conversation

(39:07):
with her. I didn't really Iwent into it, you know, not
having any expectations. I asked myself, what am I going to get out
of this? If she owns upand apologize, apologizes to me, is
that going to be good enough,or if she continues on with who she

(39:28):
is and who she's always been,is that going? Am I going to
have a setback? So I hadto even deal with that part of it.
So anyway, I got on thephone, finally got the courage to
give her a call and talk toher. And surprisingly, she listened to
everything that I said. She listenedto everything, and I was finally strong

(39:55):
enough not to cry through the wholeconversation, because you I break down and
start crying, and I would havemoments, you know where I was sobbing
a little bit, but I wasstrong and I said everything and this is
how this made me feel, andwhen you did this, and when you
said this, and you know,and I also told her in the beginning,
I don't want this to be anargument or an accusatory type thing.

(40:20):
I just want you to have somecompassion and listen to me for a moment,
because I feel like I have toget this out in order to heal.
And she listened to the whole thingand even sounded like she was going
to show some compassion. And thenat the end of the conversation, girl,
she went back to being who shewas. You know, she now

(40:44):
she's the victim. So everything Itold her, it was like she had
excuses rather than saying, yeah,I was wrong for he did X,
Y and Z. You know whatI'm saying. He never took accountability.
Yeah. So you know, atthat point is when I went no contact.

(41:09):
I said, I got it out, no hard feelings. You know,
I even invited her to come livewith me in Bali because at the
end of the day, I stillwant my mama, you know, don't
want that relationship with my mama.But I had to really just understand that

(41:32):
I couldn't keep allowing that wound,yeah open every time I talked to her,
expecting her to be my mama,and she really wasn't able to.
So I wan't no contact. ButI did have that conversation. Yeah,
you know that I had, youknow, for me to you know,
get past a lot of things thatI was dealing with and that I have

(41:53):
been dealing with. Right, solet me ask you this question. You
know, it's something that we talkabout, especially with it with self lovers,
were talking about looking at things froma different perspective. And understand,
it's one thing that you said inthere that I say all the time it's
about when you know better, youdo better. And when I look at

(42:13):
you know, my mom and myfather has passed away, but I look
at, you know, the olderpeople, and you know in my family
and how they all are old andset in their ways, and a lot
of times, you know, becausereally they don't know better. They really
don't know better, and a lotof them are very afraid to know anything
else, not giving it any excuse. But for me, with my self

(42:37):
love healing, I learned to bemore compassionate about that. So when they
say that, that ain't even mybiggest liss you know, like if my
mom says something to me, youknow, just try to poke the bear.
You know, I just cracked uplaugh because I'm like, girls,
you need to get on my life. You understand what I'm saying, But
that's me going through you know,my healing. Price sys with it to

(43:00):
understand is that And you said itin your book. I cannot control nobody
but myself or how I react toit at all. So I had that
moment what I said, and Italked to my mom about everything you know
that I went through as a child. You know, I went through abandonment.
You know, I went through allof those things, and I understand

(43:21):
that a lot of those things werecars that she was dealt with. You
know, she could have did itdifferently, just like we all could have
did it differently with I'm motherly.You understand what I'm saying. But when
yes, but I guess, Iguess. I just want to put this
to you right here. Whenever youget a moment in a time and you

(43:44):
got that beautiful place, they'll takea moment and just walk a step away
and just be uh, Romona,I'm sorry, and just sit in that
moment and just remember who she wasbefore, you know what I'm saying,
and just think of think of thosethings. And I'm gonna be honest,

(44:07):
I cried for my mother and nowbecause they didn't know better, and that
what allowed me to heal me.Now, what the thing is that trying
to heal them, And that's notmy that's it's not what I'm that's not
my my my job. But thething is is that hopefully they seeing me

(44:30):
healed, that can move the processfor them to heal. You understand what
I'm seeing. So I understand,Yo, no contact, because I've done
that with several different members of myfamily as well that that Mama, And
I just reading your book kind oflike you know, no, you did
not put a whole lot of things. But it's like I was just reading

(44:52):
through and I heard her when shemade that excuse for Frank, and I
saw it in her and you know, like he was the one who saved
her and eight months being eight monthsprobably so she felt like she owed him.
And you know what I'm saying,it was all of that. I'm
not giving it no excuses that allof those things. I just want you
for you to look at it ina different perspective, to start to look

(45:15):
at it in different perspectives, becauseit will be a lot healing for you
too, because you might not everget that, and you say it here,
you might not ever get that apology. And you know, yeah,
And just what I do is Ipray. I pray for that other person.
I truly do. I pray forthat other person that they will get

(45:37):
some healing somewhere somehow. But Ican no longer hold that on me,
and I have to still live andbe who I am and still treat that
person with who I because that's takingme out of my character. You understand
what I'm saying, you know,so that's I just want to share up
with you and I needed to askyou that question with your mom. Yeah,

(46:00):
yeah, I hear you. Canyou still see me because you froze?
Oh I froze. Now you froze, Yeah, you froze. Am
I still here? You're still there? You froze, you froze some.
Yeah, yeah, you froze some. But on the on the back end,

(46:22):

Nammy Banks here on Asnamory Ridgin toGap Podcasts and I'm here with the
Beautiful Mother God has had Beautiful We'reback. Yeah, We're back. We

(48:13):
are back. All right. Sothis is a question that I mean,
it's not a question. I justwant to kind of talk about this this
quote that you have, this linethat you have in here, and I
think it's amazing, but also itkind of like piggyback a little bit on
what I was just speaking to youjust a few minutes ago. It says,

(48:36):
if you don't take ownership of yourown healing, you'll end up bleeding
all over other people who never evencut you. M Yeah, and I
feel like that I was having thatjust just to go back to the last
thing that you had said. Ihad a conversation with my son earlier,

(48:58):
my youngest son, and we weretalking about my oldest son and Valentine's Day
and I was like, he said, yeah, I talked to him today.
I asked him if you talk tohis brother. He said, yeah,
I talked to him today. Isaid, well, did he say
to ask you about his mama?Because I didn't even hear from him on
Valentine's Day. And he said,Mom, that's a me thing. That's

(49:20):
not a hymn thing. He doesn'tneed all you on Valentine's Day? Does
he? And I was like,well, no, but you would think
that at some point, now thathe's older, he would realize that that's
an important day to call his mamaon. And he was like, Mama,
you said it for yourself. Sohe often reminds me, Mama,
you said it for yourself. Peopleare who they are, you can't make

(49:44):
him who you want him to be. And that is so true. I
have to remind myself of that.And I also all the things, all
the challenges, all the you know, trials and the tribulations that I experience
with my mother, I have toalso give thanks for who she is as

(50:06):
an individual, because she raised abadass, you know, and I have
to thank her for that. Andat the same time, I have to
find it within myself to be compassionate. Yes, but whatever it is that
she has gone through that has madeher who she is and how she responds.
So even with that being said,that's not my business. You know,

(50:30):
I can't keep going there. Ican't keep well, maybe this time
she gonna change or I want herto be this way. No, what
are you gonna do for you,sis? Because now is the time for
you to focus on you. Youcan't be worried about nobody else growing and
if they grow, if they,you know, evolve, you have to
worry about your own self and howyou are going to grow, and how

(50:52):
you are going to evolve and howyou're gonna heal, so that when you
come in contact with the people thatyou love. Mm hmmm, you're not
spelling all of that ecky toxic bullonto them because you haven't taken the time
to focus on yourself. Oh yeah, it's a girl. It's a work.

(51:15):
It's a work. It never stops, you know, it is it
is. It was another one thatyou had in here. It has so
many When I tell you I havethis, I'm just all, just really
let me see, did I markit down? I really appreciate you getting

(51:37):
the book and reading the book,and I just want to share with you,
like this is a transparent time forme to say this as well.
When people tell me that they orderedmy book, that small meat shows up
and I'm like, oh my god, I know I had typos. Oh
my god, I know it wasn'tperfect. I didn't, you know all
of I start to judge myself,like, oh, they're gonna they're gonna

(51:58):
see that I'm really not an author. I just wrote a book, you
know what I'm saying. So it'slike I'm always having to battle bro being
like, girl, you just wrotea book. Girl, you ain't even
know author girls how to corner?I told you right exactly, So you

(52:22):
know that's even that's even something thatI battle with you know. Of course
I want to sell my book.I wanted to be out there. But
then when people say I bought yourbook, I'm like, Oh, they're
gonna they're gonna know, you know, they're gonna know that I'm really not
as smart as what I would liketo know. Yeah, every day,

(52:45):
every day battle every day, youknow, but I can say that transparently
that that's one of mine. It'sone of the things that I have to
practice every day. I have tolead that goodness. I have to stand
in my truth, like my girl. There's so many people out there that

(53:06):
wish they had to wrote a book, and you did. You know,
there's so many people out there whowant to and you did. So It's
like it's like, you know,back and forth. If you what you
said, stand in your ship.Wait, hold on talk yo ship.
Girl. Yes that is what yousaid. That is what you said.

(53:35):
But I did. I love thebook through and through. Like I said,
there was a lot of things inhere that I can truly relate to.
It's amazing, it is and Iam so I just met you and
I am so proud of you.I am I'm just so proud of it.
You know. At a moment.I was a single mother at one
time, so I understand exactly,you know, just that all like you

(53:59):
didn't write every but I knew whatit was and what I understand. And
just know that there is a lotof single mothers out there that would love
to read this book because some ofthem haven't even got to step one.
You understand what I'm saying. Someof them, you know, don't even
know how to crawl yet, thatthey're just laying there and just taking what
life has to offer, or notknow. Okay, you can get up

(54:21):
and crawl, and now you canget up and walk, you know what
I'm saying. So even with that, just know that I know when you
wrote it down and you said,you know, you wasn't an influencer or
influential, but when you chose tobe courageous and write this book, you
are an influencer. You are influentialbecause you are courageous enough to share your

(54:44):
story and for me to read this. One of my girlfriends said, you
know, I love the way thatyou do read their books. Yes,
I do, you know, becauseone thing is I feel I feel a's
an honor that you chose and everyoneelse that came on here that you was
the time to share this space withme, but I need that to share
your story with me, and sothat would be very disrespectful for me to

(55:07):
sit and act like I've read apart of your life. You understand what
I'm saying. It's like, notonly am i invested in my guests,
but also I'm invested in your story. My thing is I love to love
people. I want people to win. You know, we been put on
this earth to serve one another understhe world. Yes, and one of

(55:30):
us have. Each one of usdo have a purpose in life. You
know. It's just the great thingis that we chose to go ahead and
follow our purpose. We chose togo through our healing process. We're gonna
be healing forever. Just think aboutit. You say, you fifty three
on fifty one, there's a wholebunch of stuff that we have to unlearn.

(55:51):
That's what I love when you wrotethat saying is about it's more disciplined
and focused on unlearning than to whatwe do have to learn, you know,
And that's the beautiful thing. Andeven you know, looking at you
know, the audience out there isjust please have compassion for yourself because it
ain't gonna be easy. But whenI tell you, when you go on

(56:12):
this healing journey, when you goon this and you know who you are,
it is so amazing. It isso amazing, it really is.
And look, I'm trying to getthe camera right here. That permission to
power it is something so going tonow we already I want to just skip

(56:36):
over. What made you go toBali? Okay, so that is a
real crazy question. I mean acrazy answer to the question because I had
moved, like like you heard inthe book, I moved to Atlanta and
Leanta. I love Atlanta. Itwas like somebody turned on the light switch
when I went to Atlanta and Istarted to go through this whole spiritual awakening

(57:00):
in Atlanta. And and then Iintroduced me to different parts of myself that
I didn't It was just exciting,right. I remember one day in my
living room in my condo and I'msitting there and I'm looking around and I'm
just admiring my space, right andI just felt this overwhelming sense like Okay,

(57:25):
what more? There has to bemore because right now I'm just going
through the motions. What more isit that you want from me? You
know what should I be doing.And my computer was sitting on my desk
next to me, and I don'tknow what happened because I didn't know anything

(57:45):
about Bali, didn't know anybody whohad ever come to Bali, didn't know
nothing about Bali. And the nextthing I know, I was on Expedia
and I booked a one way ticketto Bali. Girl, a one way
ticket to Bali, not go visitand hang out for a while, come
home, not that a one wayticket, and it from that point to

(58:13):
the time that I was gonna leavewas thirty days. So I started selling
all my things and I was reallyexcited because I had something to look forward
to. And then I started learningabout Bali. After I booked the ticket.
I was like, Oh, Ithink I'm gonna like it there.
And I didn't really do no realresearch. It was just the algorithm started

(58:35):
showing me more about Bali because Ibooked the ticket, and I was like,
Oh, I think I'm gonna likeit there. It's tropical, you
know, good weather, looks likethe food is good. And the moment
I set my butt on the seaton the plane, and I didn't even
pay attention to this, but itwas oh to oh to twenty twenty,
so it was the same numbers goingforward as it was going back, which

(59:00):
is called the palindrome. Right.So there in that seat and I just
felt like this was like perfect,this is perfect, It's gonna be okay.
And the moment I came to Baliis when I started hearing about this
whole virus. Oh. Then thatstarted sparking up and I was like,

(59:22):
oh, okay, God, Isee what you did. You just picked
me up and put me over here. And then it was like I was
watching the TV show of everything thatwas happening in America. My life was
the best that it had ever been. I was in paradise and then I
started to go through a deeper healingprocess. It's something magical about being here

(59:42):
in this country, Indonesia, Balispecifically, where the energy here is very
nurturing. And we call her MamaBali because she takes care of you.
And I moved to this city calledUbud, and Ubud means medicine, and
it was my medicine. And that'swhen the healing process and having the ceremonies,

(01:00:06):
cutting the cord between me and Robinaand me and that that old version
of myself began. So I loveBali and I've been back and forth ever
since twenty twenty, going on fouryears now, So yeah, I love

(01:00:27):
it here, beautiful. I loveI haven't been there, but I wanna
come. You gotta come, Yougotta come anybody that comes. You know,
It's so funny because Bali. Theysay that Bali chooses its people,
and it definitely chose me because Ididn't know anything about Bali, right,

(01:00:49):
but when I meet certain individuals here, we all have the same story.
You know. Some people will belike, oh, I was going to
Thailand and my plane had to takea layover and I got stuck in Bali
and I ain't never left, youknow. It's just like Bali has a
way of grabbing you and taking careof you. And I feel like I

(01:01:12):
have been nurtured. I have beenable to see myself in so many ways
that I didn't before. And yeah, that's what brought me here. Beautiful.
Now for you being a woman acover, being a black woman,
being in a whole different type ofyou know, a country, how hasn't

(01:01:34):
they out has the how can yousaid with the greeting for you? Like,
how what's the word. I'm Ican't. I need a little time
time right now, help me out, I know what I know? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, So I feellike the red carpet was rolled out
for me. I feel like acelebrity here and I needed that. I

(01:01:58):
needed that, you know, becauseI talk about in the book how needing
to be seen, needing to beloved, needing to be heard. These
people here are so loving and whenthey see a woman of color, especially
somebody who looks like me, They'relike, they want to know all about

(01:02:20):
you, and they look at youin awe. You know, everybody want
to take pictures with me. AndI don't feel that passive aggressive type of
racism here. So yeah, Ifeel like a celebrity, and I think
that's what's kept me here. Youknow. I can live a quality lifestyle

(01:02:44):
and all the things that a goddessshould have is here, you know.
So yeah, I think I'm missingthat. I'm retreat and may I really
would like you to come on downand be a part of it. Yeah.
I'm renewing my passport as we speak. Yeah, yeah, renewing my

(01:03:07):
passport as we speak. Yeah,and you know I am going to I
hope my kid is not watching thisbecause I'm going to surprise him. Uh
speak up, speaking of he callsme right now. But I'll be back
on that side in next month.So I would love to even sit down

(01:03:30):
with you in person. Girl,Yeah we can't. I like to do
a nice little spread with some wineand some girl. Yes, yes,
I would love to meet you inperson. I will be back. Oh
wow, it's a date. Itreally, it's a date. Yeah,

(01:03:51):
it's a day. It's a day. I don't even know what else to
say. I mean, I cankeep you on for a long long but
I don't want to do that becauseyou've already been waiting for us, but

It's here on Asks Naomi Bridging theGap podcast, and we're here with
the beautiful Mother Goddess. All right, So I've been talking so much that

(01:08:15):
they probably thought I was into theshells. Were only all four hour?
Oh we extended our time. Huh. We only been on for But let
me ask you this one last question, just one last question. And I
actually wrote on my pink thing too, So I believe it's when you had
met Lee and you say your momtold you, don't bring it back here

(01:08:40):
no more. You know, don'tbring come back here no more. But
you made it, you made astatement, you said, my mother has
always had a way of recognizing abad sea. And but I believe that's
how I learned how to read people'senergy too. But because she was always
judgmental of all of my friends,I didn't heed her advice either. So
this is my question for you.Was it only the judgmental or was it

(01:09:04):
that you saw in her choice ofme and from Frank and this other one
that she really didn't know a badseed. You understand what I'm saying.
You know, I didn't even lookat it like that until you just me.

(01:09:24):
You know what. I chalked itup as she was very needy.
You know, some women need tobe in a relationship and they need to
be with men. And she presentsas a strong woman, right, but
some way there has to be somethingin her that was so needing of a

(01:09:49):
relationship with the man that she wasallowing things to happen to her daughter.
And I never even thought about thatuntil you just said it, so it
could that I could have been ittoo. I think I was just rebelling
in my own way mm hmm.And that's why I want to have that
relationship, knowing, oh, knowingI shouldn't have been there. But the

(01:10:14):
best thing that came out of thatrelationship was my beautiful son. So yeah,
yeah, yeah, all right beautiful. But again, thank you so
much. It's been a pleasure.I can't wait to meet you in person
so I can truly feel your energylike I can hug your neck. Girl,

(01:10:40):
I'm five to nine. Oh girl, we be hugging each other because
I'm five nine and a half.So cool. I would I would really
love to have you on my showas well, so keep that in mind.
I have questions for you as well. Like I said, adult content

(01:11:00):
creating industry, and I would liketo just know some things about you,
okay, okay, yeah, Ijust don't do no nuty no more.
And how you retire it I wouldknow your story of retirement. Yes,
it's been good. It's been it'sbeen a good revealing. It's because I'm

(01:11:26):
getting to know who I am withthat well, because I'm still using it.
But it's it's just knowing who youare with. Yeah, it's a
long one, but it's a goodone. It's a loon, it's a
good one. It's been a verylearning and healing process for me. Yeah.
So, and that's great. That'sgreat as long as we going through
the process and we are healing,that's the most important thing. And acknowledging

(01:11:50):
the fact that there is a healingthat needs to be taken taking place,
you know, because a lot ofus we think we got it together,
honey, we think we got thisthing mastered out and we don't need to
become nothing more or do nothing more, and we it's just it's up,
bro, it's broken. Probably ninetynine point nine percent of the people that

(01:12:13):
is in this world need to needsome healing. And the point one percent
is the baby inside of someone justnewly like this that hasn't you know.
But everyone needs healing. I don'tcare how much money you got, I
don't care how much success you have. Somewhere somehow, all of us need
healing. And that's why your platformis very important, so that people have

(01:12:39):
a safe space to speak about theirhealing and to encourage others to do the
same for themselves. So I appreciateyou, thank you for having me on
