Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, y'all, I'm as your host, and welcome to Resilient
and Rooted where Faith meets real life.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Y'all.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
This is I've changed the name of the podcast from
Fight to Resilience to Resilient and Rooted. I did a rebrand.
It's a big m was it l Sometime last year?
I think I did the rebrand or it could have
been you know what, I think it was the big
It may have been in January when I did the
(00:31):
whole rebrand. Just decided to take a different approach with
my podcast. And I also thought, like, you know, it's
time for an updated name. Well, actually, my best friends
suggested like, do you think it's time for a new name?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And after I thought about it, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
She's right because I am no longer feeling like I
needed to fight.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
But let me stick to your script.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I am Jazz, your host, and this is a space
where we can talk about the real We can talk
about mental health, mayor motherhood, obedience and who we're becoming
all anchored in God. So and because resilience isn't about
staying in survival mode. It's about standing firm in the truth. Okay,
(01:14):
and when you're rooted. Life might shake you, buddy, won't
break you.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Okay, to see what I did with that?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
All right, So now I want to just talk about
a few things. So, like I said, I want to
acknowledge that the old name of the podcast was Fight
to Resilience, And I just want to thank the listeners
who's been with me since that first episode up until now.
I just want to thank you so much. It really
means a lot to me that you stick by me,
(01:42):
that you keep you you're following the podcast and not
even have some people like reach out like when are
you gonna drop another episode? So I just want to
thank y'all so much. So another reason why I decided
to change the name of the podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Is because I am no longer in fight mode.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I'm no longer feeling like I am trying to get
to uh to the point where I am resilient. I
am there, And I wanna talk about how my faith
has deepened over the time. It's and I was telling
somebody like my faith is so strong at times to where.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I'm a little worried.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Like is it is it t thing that I'm standing
on or is it like I'm just care free?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But y'all.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
My faith is really that strong and sometimes it does
get tested. I don't have to do another episode on it.
Or did I feel like I talked about that in
the last episode. I'm not sure if relation you go
back and this to the first episode since the rebrand.
This is the first episode since the new name, and
then this episode where really kind of I will kind
(02:51):
of talk about like w W you know why that
name then came up?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And then my second point is the resilience.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Like I earlier, it's just not something that I am
chasing anymore. So it just it just felt only right
to change the name from fight, because you gotta think
about it. When I first created this podcast about five
(03:20):
years ago, it was a way for me to heal.
It was a way for me to vent, and I
was just going through a really hard time when I
first started that podcast because I was seeing a different
therapist during that time, and I started singing her cause
(03:41):
I was just trying to figure life out.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And then shortly I started therapy.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
That's when I lost my grandfather and that's when I
really feel like my life just took a turn after
his death, and to this day, I am still grieving,
but I thank God for keeping me because He has
gotten me this far.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I would not have made it this far.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I would have been tried to take myself out, or
I would have been fair short. But I just wanna
thank God for keeping me and walking beside me even
when I feel short.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
So now God is central.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
He God is. It's truly ahead of my life. God
go before me, and then he tell me when to
come home. I have learned to trust God's timing.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Because he works on his own time, and I rest
in the fact knowing that He's gonna work it out.
And when you get to that point, it is it's
such a safe space. It's so comfortable knowing that no
matter what I go through, that God is gonna work
it out if.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I trust him. All I have to do is trust him.
When things don't work out, that's because we're trying to.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Figure it out on our own, and we gonna always
fall short when we trying to figure everything out on
our own. Okay, lean out on your own understanding. Okay.
And one of the key lines the one of the
key points. And I wrote this down because it hit
when I was coming up with these notes.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So I wrote that I was fighting to survive.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Now I'm rooted in who God says I am.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
That right there was so powerful.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I got to read it again. God maybe got to
catch it. I was fighting to survive. Now I'm rooted
in who God says I am. And I don't know
about you, but I'm just who I think I am.
I'm just who I think I am. God want us
to be confident. He don't want you to be cocky.
You don't want you putting down other people, thinking you
(05:48):
better than other people. But He do wants you comfident.
He wants you to stand tall in his word. He
wants you to know that you know what you're talking
about when you talking to other people about him, and what.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
You know that he would do.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Speak highly up him, speak highly up yourself. So many
times I talked down on myself that I'm not capable
and that I'm this and I'm that. And I had
to realize that I'm insulting God cause I am God's child.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I cannot you. I I can't do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
And I I feel like now I speak positivity more
into my life.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I won't lie like I won't have days. I just
had a day yesterday.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I really had a low moment yesterday and I went
to therapy and she just turned her and cried like
a babby.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Three or four times. I broke down crying in therapy yesterday.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
But when I walked out of it, I was reminded
God used her to give me that message that I
needed to hear yesterday, and even hearing how her schedule
was headed and she almost didn't show up to the appointment.
God works everything out just how it needed how it
needs to be worked out. So after I left out
of therapy, I was reminded, I just needed a little rusher.
(07:01):
It's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You're y. I'm not saying this.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'm not saying your walk with God is gonna be
a breeze, because it's not. It's not.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
It's not gonna be a breeze.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You're gonna run into obstacles, you gonna get tested. But
I feel like once that dey ever know that he
can't get he can't break through to you, he'll go
on about this business. He'll go on about his business.
But now I will say, you have triggers. If this
could be people, this can be certain words said, but
(07:34):
mainly the people.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Let's talk about people being your triggers.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
If you know a certain person triggers you every time
y'all talk, baby, don't answer the phone for or him,
or cut the conversation short.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
W W.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
We we gotta have we we we gotta start taking
some accountability and be like, oh my god, every time
I talk to her she drains me, or ooh, she
pissed me out every time I talk to her.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You know, it's okay, just said boundaries with them. People
don't let them people throw you. Oh you're dream cause
it'll happen. Sometimes I feel like my.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Own husband and children could can can be my biggest triggers. Yeah,
they came my own husband and my own children who
in the household with me. And I say that because
they don't respect boundaries. All they know is mommy, mommy, mommy, baby,
baby baby. So it's up to me, and said the
(08:27):
bundlers and say, listen, I'll do that when I get done,
or d talk to me when I'm done doing what
I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Okay, y'all y'all know how I am.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
The ones who've been following me, y'all know what I
get on topic real quick. But like I said, I
just I wanted to go over, uh, the reasoning for
the trench that's not But then I also want to
go over what exactly does resilient and rooted means. So, first,
resilient means I've endured. Rooted is I'm anchored. So where
(08:58):
faith meets real luck, we're not avoiding hard conversations. Were
not gonna overall hard conversations. Just how I just said,
my own husband and my own cheerdren that I brought
into this world can sometimes be my biggest triggers.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
That's the truth. That's the hard conversation. But it's the truth.
Y'all could be my biggest triggers. And sometimes they get
the best of it.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And then they got to see this other side of
me where I smelt and say, I write, I I
done got older stimulators. I need everybody to be quiet,
but I do realize that they are children.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Then they may not realize. I make sure to go
back and apologize, but explain.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
To them like, hey, you see me doing something, hold
out if it's not an emergency, if you're not bleeding,
or you're having no trouble, if you're having trouble reason
or if you're bleeding, then you.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Know yeah, come on in and disrupt me.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But baby, if you just trying to show me that
you can, you jump up in the air and hit
your heels together.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
They can wait. E that can wait? That can they
can wait? A same for my husband.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
If you see me doing something and you're asking me questions,
I'll get to.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It in a minute. You know, we have to start
setting boundaries that ain't had nothing to do. W W what?
But like I said, I wanted to talk.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
About resilian, rooted, resilient. Is I've endured, rooted, is I'm anchored?
And who am I'm anchored in? I am anchored in God?
So what's coming there for the pop? What's coming next?
For the podcast? We're gonna talk more about faith, more
about mental health, which scripture, uh, marriage, conversations, obedience, discipline, identity.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Ooh, y'all, I struggle with distance, but I'm getting better.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
We're gonna talk about real healing, not performance Christianity. Okay,
and y'all know exactly what I'm talking about. So this
is a growth. This is not a restart, y'all. This
is growth Because if you go back to those old episodes,
you can hear the nervousness in my voice. Even now,
sometimes I be nervous when I press record because I
(11:14):
get to talk to two fads, I get tong tied,
I got to live.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So it's just it's a whole lot, a whole lot
of But.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I will say this, So I've started the Bible rey
in playing for this year, right, and you know, God
chose Moses to go and do a mission. And Moses
didn't feel like he was capable because of how he spoke.
He didn't speak well. But as you know how the
(11:45):
story goes Moses, it really made an impact in in
the Bible. Right, So no matter your flaws, you.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Just have to do it, y'all.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I know I don't talk a way y'all, talk fast,
stumble over my words.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
But I have grown. I have grown mentally.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Spiritually since the very first episode I dropped on this
podcast and I left it up. I thought about leading
all the old episodes and just picking back up here
where my podcasts just make a turn, make a turn
towards more faith of based content. But I think it's
(12:29):
a good thing to leave the old episodes on there
so people who so new followers can go back and
actually see the grow. Do you go back it's episodes
where I'm cussing like a sailor. You can hear me
smoking and coughing and choking. I wanted to leave that
on there because that shows my growth. Okay, all right, y'all,
(12:51):
I went.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Way over my time.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I probably went all over the place. But today was
today that I was gonna record this episode.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
So excurious me.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You for stuttering or tripping over my words, y'all get
my drill.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
So that was That was everything that I.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Wanted to talk about.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I do.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
One second, I do want to feel like it was
something else I needed to say. Okay, but anyway, make
sure that y'all follow the podcast.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Follow it however you listen to it.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I know a lot of people have Apple Music and
you can do podcasts on there.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I mean not Apple Music, y'all know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I think you have the the direct podcast podcasts app
on iPhones.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
So I have been considering.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I've been considering adding my podcast on Apple, but I'm
not sure.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I'm still thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Okay, And if this episode spoke to you, don't keep
it to yourself bad but send it to you. Send
its everywhere, post it, shure it. Do what you got
to do, Tell a friend, to tell a friend, Just
share it with someone.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
That you feel that needed.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
And remember you're not just called to survive, your call
to be resilient and rooted. I think I'll talk more
about this in the next episode, because I feel like
I was all over the place, but I was just
so anxious to get the episode out.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Not saying that I rushed it, cause I've.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Been sitting on these notes for a while, but I
just feel like it needs to be a part two
because I don't know. Y'all know how I get once
I get to talking. But see you next time. Make
sure you call you by
