We're asking God to protect America. Right now, in the
name of Jesus. Lord, please cover our borders importing and exporting.
(03:49):
Cover the food that's coming, that's being produced and sold
and marketed and placed in our grocery stores. Cover our
oceans and our seas, and our ships and our airplanes
and our trains and automobiles. Father God, right now, in
the name of Jesus, we know the enemy. It's been
a set time. It's been a set time. We are aware.
(04:11):
There are gonna be wars and rulors of wars. There's
gonna be threats of peace that's nonexistent. That's gonna be
a fashionable human made fathoms and shortages and everything else.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
We know, and you've been called out, Satan. So let
no weapon formed against this people in this country. Prosper now,
Father God, this is your podcast. This is your opportunity,
unlike many others, that's out there for you to address
the people that you know that will come on and
listen with all intent and purposes to change their lives
(04:48):
and anyone around there, set them free. We're gonna get
behind the cross. We're gonna let you do what you
do best. You love us unconditioning, We love His Lord
and than thank you all this and more. We asked
in Jesus name, Amen and amen, Yes, yes, yes, yes yes.
There are times that you've got to be real with God.
(05:10):
If you've not been real with yourself and with God,
that that door that you know, heaven's closing the windows,
its windows. It's not hearing stuff right now. You've got
to make sure you come clean, and come clean quick.
I'm not gonna go into it, but I got my
I went through the house this morning setting an alarm.
I've got a confession. I've got a confession. I've got
(05:33):
a confession. And I had to say what I had
to say about me dealing with me, and then I
asked my children to forgive me and to pray for me. See,
I'm not running to get on the phone. I don't
have pair of partners, never did. Nobody's picking me up
in this. I was at a final really rough, really
(05:55):
rough nobody picking me up. And that's okay because I
know how to pray for myself. But I had to
first confess and be honest and be real. How many
of you did that this week? How many of you
did that this week? Now we're talking about mental health,
mental wellness. We are acknowledging it. The show has been
(06:17):
on for two three years now. This second round, we've
talked about self care. We talked about healthy places, safe places.
We talked about you know, unclooring your homes and your minds.
It will lead to the uncloloring of your mind. We've
given you all the steps, but how many people have
actually done it?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Hey, missy?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
How many people have done it and continue to do it.
It's not a one time thing. You don't ask for
forgiveness one time. You don't forgive another person just one
time because stuff be popping up, stuff be popping up.
You think, right, Wait a minute, I forgave her ten
years ago.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I lost my step one, of my stepson from my
first marriage, out of the blue. He just turned thirty
eight years old in July, got a testimony out of
this world. Having of chaining his doctorate degree. I've only
I was only hoping to talk with him one more time,
just to say, hey, how you doing? Check in with it?
And in four days he's gone, and I'm finding out
(07:19):
about it on the fourth day, in three days he's gone,
He's I'm finding out about it on Thursday. No man
knows the day of the hour. I can only hope
and pray that he did give his life to the Lord.
I don't know, but I got people calling if you
could just check in, check in for what to hear
you on this There are people who like to hear
(07:41):
hear themselves talk. I'm not one, even though I'm a talker,
I'm not that one. But if you listen to this show,
this podcast, a lot of your answers, you'll be amongst
a mass, a group, a selected few who are in
search of and then hopes of how dare you ask
me to check in? I'm sorry, thank you, Mickey, thank you.
(08:02):
I'm sorry. Here with your Lord, thank you, Missy. Prayers yes, please,
because my ex husband he's lost his identical twin brother,
and now he's lost his son, his oldest son. I
still have our we still have our son, but it's
a different thing. It's a different thing, especially when he went.
You know, he just he was an amazing person, you know, achiever.
He just burst through and achieved and doing his thing,
(08:26):
and you know despite medical any type of medical hindrances
and things like that. And you know, I'm sure he
wasn't alone when he passed, but he was in the
hospital and thirty eight years old, y'all, thirty eight years old?
What I say, yeah, go ahead, trade.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I was looking when trying to find some topics, you know,
things for this month, and I was looking about, you know,
just looking just to see what was out there, and
it's just something.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Just came across me when I was looking.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
This is not my best time of year, you know,
because it gains darker earlier, it's colder. It's actually my
birthday month, so Monday when we were on the show,
will be my birthday.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
But what it said, autumn is the time of a
new you know, that's time where you should things are refreshed.
So it's a switch over.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
So when I read that, I said, you know what,
let me go in to fall a different way, let
me start looking at it differently.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
And so this weekend I.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Was able to travel with some friends to a homecoming
game in North Carolina, you know, for the weekend.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
You know, we got an airbnb.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Some ladies, some lady friends of mine and typically do
this trip every year, and we got an airbnb.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
We were fortunate, you know, we all pretty much had
a room to ourselves. Didn't make the game.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Didn't make the game, which is fine, which is good
because you know, I was just going before the fellowship
and also the change of environment.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
And when I tell you that changes scene read even
just for that little bit of time, did something for me.
And so I started crying.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I started reading some scripture and I just like look
through the back of the Bible just to see where
my where God would lead me to read. And the Lemmit,
I said, okay, God, and I just got still because
I read it in the room that I was in
and I got still.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
The lights were on, the nothing was on. I said, okay,
let me just be still. And when I tell you
a little bit of time, that made a difference.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
And so you know, I'm going in the autumn with
different things, with things on my mind, and you know, Lisia,
I'd like to to try to think of some ideas
and I just put some in place, you know, and
so I'll share with you a little later some things
that I that I that I presented to someone and
I and at some point I want to mention it and.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Bring it into fruition.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And so it's gonna be evolved around domestic violence.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
You know, that's my passion. That's my baby awareness, mental
health awareness. So I said, you know what, Lord, let
me do what you need me to do. I'm gonna
be still. You show me what it is you would
have me do, and and just I just want to
honor you and do what you ask me. And so
that's where I am.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
That, that's where I am with that, you know, And
you have to take care of yourself and to reflect
and just let's get away.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Let's get away for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Steal away, steal away, steal away. Yes, yeah, you got
to make that leap. You got to prioritize. You have
to do whatever you need to do. You have to
do whatever you need to do for you, for your
for your for just for your and you've got to
fight your flesh throughout all of this. You're fighting your
flesh because your flesh don't want you to do nothing.
(11:51):
Mainly depend on God Jesus in the Holy Spirit. It
does not want you to do that, even though we
were we were, ain't it?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
By God?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Your brain wants all the recognition your flesh, you, your pride,
your emotions. Oh you hurt my feelings. Oh I'm in
my feelings?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
What what?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
What?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But why did you come out the door? If you're
in your feelings, stay home. We don't need to be
subjected to that. I don't please. You've made me into
almost this monster I have in car road rage and
only the people in the car hearing me raging, And
I'm like, what is that doing for Anyba? What is
it doing for anybo? Nothing? And God, and I had
(12:31):
to repent. Lord, Please this morning I was like God,
as I was just pouring out, pouring out, I said, God,
forgive me, but I allowed other things that have nothing
to do with the kingdom, have nothing to do with
other people, have nothing to do with my calling. It's
all flesh. Please forgive me, but I allow any of
my energy to go towards it, because that could have
(12:54):
been a moment that I missed, a phone call, that
could have been a moment that I didn't see because
I'm so in my thoughts in my head. I didn't
even see a lady in front of me crying or
a man looking despondent looking down forgive me, forgive me.
But yeah, you got to check yourself so you won't
be checked. The Bible said to judge yourself, not so
(13:15):
you won't be judged. People want to just talk about, Oh,
you're judging, you know, don't judge me, don't judge. Get
over that. You're making me look at you. You're making
me look at you. I wasn't even thinking about you.
Then all of a sudden, I'm over, like, what's going
on with this person? Why am I looking at you?
Where are you getting my attention? It reminds me of
the clown that appeared in my workshop eight o'clock in
(13:38):
the morning, fully dressed, nose shoes, make up, everything, And
I'm like, okay, she wants attention, and I was. It
was confirmed. But she also gave me a revelation about myself.
She said, well, like you, I tell jokes and I'm like,
I've never told the joke. I'm talking about real people
when I talk about are real people because I can't
remember the joke, so I've never Yeah, I'm telling you
(14:01):
I'm telling yeah, that's why I won't invite you to
the comics show. I won't know you probably probably improv nobody.
I know, we'll go. You'll hear about it later that
I was there. Amen. But yeah, you you got to.
I don't know how much more we get. It's here now.
Stuff is getting ready to fall out. I'm telling you,
(14:22):
everything is gonna it's gonna get out of the out
of whack. We've got wars, we got rumors of wars.
And in the Bible it talks about there will be
a time that there's gonna be a peace talk. It's
gonna talk about peace. It's gonna look like peace, but
behind it it's not. It's just a setup. And we're
we're there. We're there, so you gotta be careful. That's
(14:44):
why I'm praying for my country. I'm praying. Things are
coming back into the country. Dealerships are moving back into
the United States, even though the government is shut down.
I'm not gonna deal with that just yet. But we got,
you know, schools, new schools, trade schools are opening in
the United in the States. We got it's slowly, it's unwinding,
but here we go. We've got people who are farming now,
(15:06):
they're purposely looking for land that they can farm on.
And we've got government, and well government was if we
got talks federal you know, grants out there for these people.
Money's out there, small business loans for these people that
want to go into and have livestock and things. It's
coming back, and I'm staying on that prayer point until
we are back in full and we have been repaid
(15:29):
with interest the moneys that we've loaned since the eighteenth century.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I got it, and I got another praise before it.
I'm sorry, like I said, it's like when I went
went down there. It was when at this particular home.
It's knock, not an ante, and I'm not a graduate.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Of there, but you know, I'm friends with someone whose
parents graduated from there, and the door to go there,
and when we went usually we have a typical routine
of going to the vendors.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Know everybody's selling stuff for at.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Or you know Greek pair form that when I say that,
you know, sororities, fraternities, shade butters.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
It's a lot of small businesses. And when I tell you,
I was had walked around said I don't really see
anything that grabbed me.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
And I met with a sorority sister and she was
talking about someone who was selling glasses frames, you know,
just eyeglasses, and she said, yeah, I said, and she said,
and they're nice, and she talked it up and she.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Said, and they're heavy frames and they feel good and
they sit on your face. And I said, let me look.
And I went back. She said, let me show you,
and she said, I brought you a customer. And I
was looking at it and I saw some frames, and I.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Said, do they take the flex Spinning account, which is
my job offers. So it's a certain amount of money
you could pay into, but you can use it for
your co payments or things that you need related to
your medical And so God has it that they accept
my flex spinning account.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
And I was able to and and and the lady
was saying, you know what.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
The my sorority sister, she said, you know, gonna seek
money into a big business, Gonna do that, stink it
into somebody that is smaller business.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
And when I say, I walked out, well, not that
same day I saw glasses.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I had my car, my flex cart, but I didn't
have the right one because somebody tried to hack it,
and I left the other one at the Airbnb.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
That had just gotten and so I asked my roommate,
I said, do you see maccars?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
She said, your card is here. So I thought I
was gonna go back Saturday night. Didn't go back, had
it Except Sunday we went. The vendors were still there
but packing up, and they said, we were just asking
if you were wondering if you were gonna come back.
We still have your glasses that you picked out. And
I was able to get the two pairs that I liked.
And when I say that made that made my day
(17:51):
one because I got locked had it there, and I said, Lord,
just not there. It wasn't meant the same glasses.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
They had it on me.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
My car was working, and I just walked in there
just being and you you would have thought I had
won a million dollars. But I was also helping a
smaller business too as well, and and and it changed
my mindset and I was just happy.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
I really was very happy.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
One of all because my inssurance paid for it, and
I said, okay, okay, God, let's let's keep it moving.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
And so it's the little things. It really is it
really is. And so I'm just excited and and and
just feeling blessed. I really am, I really am.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's my well, thank you, thank you, and you know,
and it's so funny you should mention that because me
and miss Kate went just went ran over the loved
to help the small businesses, all right, went over to
Walmart and to get hurt because I said, you need
some new glasses. How do you see out of those?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
You know?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
And and we went through all the I mean all
the truth and everything. So how do these looking? Most
of the time she kept saying, kind, I look just
like you. And I'm like, you know, no matter what
glasses you get, you were going to look like me.
You know. I'm sorry, I mean it like that, boss,
I ain't gonna take it like that, but you still
gonna look like me, you know. And she finally found
a pair and everything, and and it was still less
(19:14):
expensive than we I thought it would be and everything else,
and it's just you know, and we had our favorite
employee working that day, working today, and all the baskets
are in the parking lot at Walmart. I'm like, why
is it that they've not come out here to get
the baskets because I know people are in me. Hundreds
of people are piling into the store, and I'm like,
all of these baskets out here, I cannot believe this
(19:36):
in all the stalls, and you've not gone to smaller
business have nicer things at times. And I like that
one of the kinds. I like one of the kinds
I don't like to buy something and in a minute
I see it again. I really don't like that. So
I'd rather go to a small business and and and
and do my shopping and things. I really enjoy that.
This past weekend, I was I had my book signing
(19:57):
at a local Christian bookstore and I was just talking
to customers. It was just like I was just like, oh,
that's why, Okay, that's not my thing. Okay, thank you
lord Plisi. If that's your email with all those emails,
yeah I know girl. Excuse me, Guys, I gotta take
(20:17):
a moment.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Because I'm like, why is she on my email? But
I forgot a log out. I'm like, that's my email.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
He was losing I'm going I'm coming down the stage
and just give me a minute here. You almost gave
me a heart attack. I'm like I don't know fifty
nine thousand people that's gonna send me fifty nine thousand
worth an email. That's you and you this side.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I try to gurl.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
If you don't get off of this, I'm getting you
in your own PC. That's it. I can't. Oh my god, no,
I have this almost. I deleted a lot of your
deleted a lot of your Wow, excuse me at the stage.
I'm coming back. I'm coming back, y'all. I'm having a
moment here. You see, earl. I might assume you was
(21:00):
gonna figure it out if you look at the name.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
I didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Just now you saw me. I'm looking at the head
and I'm like, no, I didn't see you because I
was walking behind y'all, trying to get some motions. You
see who I live with? You see who I live with?
Who's got a mother in law cottage on the property.
I'm just bringing my dog. I'm just me and my dog. Okay.
Then anyway, yes, Anastagia, it was. It was awesome as always.
I a few people. One person. One person showed up
(21:28):
that made a promise that he was obedient and purchased
some books. Now that's the funny part when the people
come to the thing, you don't purchase anything. I'm not
gonna go there. But this past Saturday, great event. I
got another one coming up this coming Saturday. I think
I'm may be the only author out there at this event.
But it was really nice. And I'm talking to the
people in the store, just the customers, not about the book.
(21:50):
I'm like, you know, this is the place. This place
has one of a kind, you know, little items and
stuff like that, unique little things. Bellisia even did a
little shop because she goes, say, let's do a little
shopping before we before we go home. Let's pack up
the car. But listen do and so she found I said, yeah,
and if I was shopping for a massive amount of people,
you'll be getting stuff from here. I'm telling They've got
everything from a kitchen ware stuff to you know, coasters,
(22:15):
all kinds of unique things.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
And I like to do that.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I like to give, you know, buy and purchase. But
I only got a couple of people I'm shopping for,
so thank you Jesus, Holly do. And I had to
leave because I said, I don't want to be buying
out the store because I will go there. But pouches
and just affirmation things. It's just and people are busy
out here. They're they're busy that people are doing. I
met a young lady and her fiance and she's she
(22:38):
does bridal retreats well, bridal parties and Brian's in their
bridal parties and she does Christian retreats. I said, I
need to have you on this ship on my podcast.
She said I would, yes, I would love to. I
was like, see that, I mean, people doing things to
help other people. It was just an idea. And she said,
you know, and it's clean and wholesome and everything else,
(22:59):
and we pray for each other. I said, I like
that kind of stuff. I would hire her. I would
give that. I would see that into someone's uh you know,
as for their wedding gifts. I would do that. That
makes sense. That's so unique. That's so different. So here now,
you know, two saturdays in a room, I'm hearing new things,
creative opportunities and things like that. Like I'm and I'm
(23:20):
you know, thumbs uping everybody, but hearing the store, Like
I said, if the customers they were coming in just
just coming in and and even know the all the
staff were directing them to me. But I was just
telling them to go shop at the store and look around,
you know, don't stop at my table, go look around
because there's a lot of stuff in here. And people
were walking out with stuff, bags and stuff, so you know,
(23:41):
And that was not even about sales, things being gonna sell.
So people are doing things. People are still reading books.
They're still reading hardcover books and stuff like that. So
you know, where do you go from here? What's your
hold of that? I had several I asked several customers
of that as they were just telling me about where
they're at and stuff, and I'm like, well, why are
you stuck? Who's causing you to be stuck? And don't
(24:04):
mention your money, don't mention your money, but who's causing
you to be stuck? And they had to think for
a minute, like what's me?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
It's me?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
And I'm like, yeah, so what are you gonna do
by it?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
See?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I was trying to get make people mad. See I
think if I can make you mad, that makes you like, oh,
not to where you want to hit or curse or whatever,
but you get mad. But you know what, I am
frustrated with this. This I can make this call. I
can make this leap. I can make this jump. I
can do this. I am the one helding it out.
(24:34):
I'm the one that can make the decision. So what's
holding you back? What's keeping you from doing that? Now?
Mental mental illness, mental illnesses have caught up with the
physical illnesses, neurological illnesses. They're here, they are here, they're here,
and what are we.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Doing about it?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Because the medications and any medication. Let me just say
this is a disclaimer. Any medication, I don't care. If
you're on an antibiotic, there's a side effect, there's a
side effect, then you gotta take a side effect pill.
So be careful with that. Look at what the medications
you are taking. Make sure you're listening to your doctor.
Make sure you're monitoring your own statistics, your own vidals,
(25:14):
because you don't need to be on it for the
rest of your life. I don't care what the doctor says.
You don't have to be on them. You don't have
to do that. And I've already shared with you all.
As I take my medication, as I'm brushing back in
Jesus' name, as I'm swallowing my pill, go to every
crack every crevice, every corner. Go do what you need
to do and uproot whatever's in me. Kill it at
(25:35):
the root, burn it up with fire, by the fire
of God, never to return again. I don't like medication.
I don't like going to the doctor, because they gonna
do what they're in their field. They're only gonna do
what they can do, whether they believe in God or not.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
No one has ever said to me, let's pray before
we read these results. Let's pray before this I examine you.
No one has said that. Even in physical therapy out
patient and patient in my house, no one has ever said,
let's pray. In my counseling sessions, I've done that. You
know what, Let's pray. I don't even ask, do you
(26:12):
believe in God? I don't have time for that. If
God is ushering me to pray, We're gonna pray. And
I've been so blessed even despite the colleges, even if
it was a public college, a public university, I still
opened my class with prayer. And they were secular universities.
Let's pray because I don't know what y'all coming in
here dragging for. But here we go, and I've got
(26:34):
to teach on top of that, you're not gonna hear
one thing. We're saying that, you're not gonna remember remember anything.
So let's get to your day. What was going on?
And I shared with you all over the years if
this one class was that night.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
It was a.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Mandatory class for every freshman. So my class was always
full of twenty eight students. And one night that everybody
coming and dragon and I'm like, what what everybody? I
had five students that were due enroll, meaning that they
were in high school but they were taking the class,
allowed to take a college class. And they sat up
in the front and you know, and I'm like, let's
(27:08):
you know what, guys, we're gonna pray. Let's pray, I pray.
I said, okay, I'm gonna take attendance and then we're
going to have a conversation. This was a financial a
stress stress, how to handle stress, financial management class all
in one. It's a mandatory class for every fresh And
then I did that took you know, everybody was there.
(27:28):
I said, okay, here we go. What's going on with y'all?
I moved a podium out the way and I was
sitting on my school. I said, let's go. I don't know.
I'm not teaching on top of this. I don't know
what y'all have had a bad day, you had a
bad week. Let's go. First row, a young a mom
of a sixteen year old. She's a doctor's assistant. Worked
as a medical assistant in a doctor's office. A sixteen
(27:49):
year old daughter had a starker a student who came
to their property trying to see the daughter, even though
he's been trespassed and everything. Dad's a Sheriffy goes to
his car to get a back because you not listening.
You've been trespast. The daughter's afraid to even go out
and leave the house. Second row, young lady from Morocco, engaged,
(28:11):
just found out the fiance was cheating on her. She said,
I'm not giving back the ring. So my high school
was a life what and they're looking like, huh. Third
road it was something. Fourth row, it was something, and
I said, well, let's talk about it again. I didn't
ask you. Are you all the people of faith? Are
you people that believe in God?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
We're gonna have time for that.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I got a two and a half hour class. I
gotta teach. This is already at night. It's eight o'clock
at night, seven o'clock at night, so let's go listen,
listen how we resolve this. And then you young lady
with the wedding ring, just keep the ring, you know,
and everybody laughing. So finally we got some humor going
and I said, okay, to my high schoolers, y'all got that.
We got to cover this lid back up. I was
always I knew that my class would open up a
(28:54):
can of worms. I was determined every session to close
it before they left my presence because they were wide open,
and that's what the devil was waiting on. So I'm
not gonna have that. So I said, okay, guys, y'all
have any questions you want to ask him? And they're
like no, I said, well, this is adulthood. These are issues.
This happen, it can happen, So I can imagine what
(29:14):
the world's going through right now. I almost got. I
was walking and uh, what's the CBS and the guy
just looking at his phone and head look, heads up,
heads up. He said, oh, I'm sorry about to hit me,
I mean coming straight for me, and the eyes were
small so I didn't have much room wiggle room. I said,
heads up, heads up. Oh oh, I'm sorry. We're out
to eat yesterday. And this lady comes from an another table,
(29:37):
this couple, two sets of couples come in. They're trying
to sit down. The lady come on. The man is
moving the bench, my bench, my seat with you know
in those fast in those restaurants, we share the same bench.
He's on one side, I'm on the other. He's moving me.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I was like, what's going on? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
He said, oh, I'm sorry, No, I had nothing.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
What was that?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
What if I was eating?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
What if I was eating?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And I'm sitting there and Belie she's like, do you
need to move on? Do we need to move us
in there? And they think it was funny, but I
know they were already a little tipsy. You've got to
be tipsy about three o'clock in the afternoon and getting
ready to drink some more. And I tell you, every
time I go to Public's, people got four bottles of
water in the bask in the shopping cart. Four bottles
(30:20):
And I'm like, oh my god, so it's here. What
are you doing about it? And please be very careful
Now that commercials talks about it's a well they're talking
about tartar dyskinesia, you know, the shakes and the involuntary movement,
facial movements. Well, they're finally admitting and this is a
side effect from mental mental medicaid, psychotrophic medication for mental illnesses.
(30:44):
They're finally they've been soon enough. I'm sure you've got
to say this. This is why these people who are
normal but they're they're having issues and they get diagnosed
and they're placed on medication, and all of a sudden
they've got involuntary body movements. It's from the medication that
they need to stabilized. So now so you've heard the commercial.
Now this medication is known to you know, it comes
(31:06):
from it stems from, you know, mental health medication. So
you got to check everything. Guys, don't leave it depends
on the medication. Don't leave. It depend on the doctors nurses.
They're only doing what they could do. They can't think
outside the box of what they've been Go ahead, just just.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
To interject with some of that with two because I
know the medication.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Piece is a stickler for folks.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
But one of the worst things that you can do
if you're on a medication or prescribe a medication, a
psychotropic medication to manage your mood is to say that
it's not working.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
If you have not been taken it.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
So sometimes they say, well, how is it because you
don't want to tell the doctor you haven't been taking it,
and so when you tell the doctor it's not helping,
he's gonna up it, or you know he's gonna up
it or try something else. I want to just kind
of just kind of explain to people understand the side
effects of it. Don't understand ask the side effects of it.
Ask what will happen if you not take it? You
(32:11):
know what a risk if you do not take it.
So you weigh taking it versus not taking it, and
take it. If you're prescribed it, take it. If you're
noticing something, document it, let your doctor know. If it's
too much, then they can tweak it and bring it down.
If it's too little, then tweak and bring it up.
So it is people say, I feel like again in people,
we basically you are because it goes by body weight,
(32:33):
symptoms and all this other stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
But you have to be consistent.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
That's the only way the doctor's going to get you
a real the correct dosage of anything, and so try it.
But immediately if it's making you do if you have
to work it, it's making you sleepy, let that doctor
know so they can tweak it for that. But you
have to kind of monitor it. And then once they
monitor it, say okay, I've been taking this for six weeks,
(32:58):
this is what I'm seeing in the doctor. To have
to kind of play with it till it gets to
the point where you're aligned in to it. But don't
be afraid to ask questions. If you're afraid to ask questions,
take somebody with you that doesn't mind asking questions and
will help you with that. Don't be afraid to ask.
You know, the doctor is the doctor, but this is
your body.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
So I just want to kind of say that. Never
say that it's not working and you haven't taken it consistent.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Amen, Thank you, Trey, Thank you, great catch, great catch.
You're absolutely right. And I know our men and women
who have been dishonorably discharged your honorably discharged at an
early time because of their mental emotional status, and they
got there they have to hook up with or you know,
align themselves with the local vas and their states and
(33:46):
their cities. And all I'm knowing is that psychiatrists. That's
the psychiatrist you're seeing, and they're saying, you know, they're
asking three questions. Are you are you eating? Are you
sleeping well? Has your appetite change? And what's that is
a third one? That's all they ask is fifteen minutes,
fifteen minutes and you're on fifteen medications fifteen eight. I'm
(34:10):
not an advocate for medication, but oh my god, how
are you even able to think You've got to take
eight to fifteen minutes a day and it's nothing working
because you have nobody to talk to to talk these
things out and to encourage you to go do some
other things.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
So what I would like to interject to is, so
typically psychiatrists and I know you know, Lisia, but I'm
just saying it for an audience. Typically psychiatrists prescribe medications.
Our patient therapy is something totally different. But what I
would suggest, having worked with people in the mental health field,
have both so that way, your doctor, like Lisha was saying,
(34:46):
typically when you're with a psychiatrist, the session is only
fifteen minutes.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
When you're with a therapist.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Your sessions run from anywhere from thirty minutes to forty
five minutes, which gives the therapists kind of a gist
of what's going on with you. Then your opportunity was
speaking with the therapist, and then you're talking.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
With the therapists. The therapists who say, okay, we kind
of medications and help you modify. Then when you go
back to.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
The psychiatrist, you're saying this, so they go kind of
hand in hand, you know, if you need the medication.
I would also suggest you having an outpatient therapy piece,
so you'll have both and in that way you'll get
more time. So get an hour's worth of time, fifteen
minutes with the person that's going to give you the MADS,
forty thirty to forty five minutes with the person that's
going to help you process all the symptoms and stuff
(35:32):
that you're going through.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
I cannot speak for social workers and program people and
case workers and what they're doing today, but back in
my day when I worked at the local community mental
health facility, I had a client that will all my
clients always will tell me where they've gone to the
dentists and the dentists prescribed something when they went to
this doctor. That doctor prescribed. So I was like, you know,
(35:54):
what are you and I'm telling my asking my client.
Are you telling your doctors what's going on? You know
that you're taking all these meds now? I said, can
I get your permission? I'll write a letter to all
the doctors. You just give me addresses and names. I'll
take it from here. And she said, yeah, sure, no problem.
The dentist calls me, identifying himself. He said, are you
serious that she is on these medicines? I said yes, sir.
(36:18):
He said, oh my god. Well everything I'm giving her
is contradicting it, canceling it out. The dental medication is
canceling out the mental health medication. I said, well, thank god,
I just want to I would love to just gather
y'all all. And but she gave me permission to talk
with you all to release her medications, so you all
can take a look at what she's on now today.
(36:40):
I know my doctors ain't asked are you are you?
Are you active with your dentists? Are you active with
the ear nose and throat doctor or physical You know who?
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (36:50):
You know who are your active and who's prescribed medication?
Now they're asking in some sectors, but you got to
let your primary doctor know, especially a primary And when
you're filling out the application at the new patient information,
they ask you what medications you're taking. Put them down
there so they can see and make sure they're not
canceling out or causing more side effects or injuring your organs,
(37:14):
your internal organs. And this is all about mental health
and wellness.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
This is all about that.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Because you don't need to be getting sick and nobody
and most of the time, what we're finding out we
don't know. We don't have a diagnosis. We really don't
know what's going on, what this has happened, this is,
but it could be so much. And now you're going
to the emergency rooms. They're only going to treat that what.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
You came in for.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Even though you could say that I have hives and
this is gone and my left knee but you know
it's popped, and no, they take the information down, they
take they do an assessment, but they're not dealing with
all that other stuff. They're dealing with what you came
in here for. We can't see no break, so you can.
We're gonna, you know, just guise your talent all but
check in with an orthopedic doctor and things like orthopedic doctor,
(38:00):
what's a MIKI. You ain't seen nothing, but they can't.
They don't even do MRIs. We went to a care unit,
that's what they're in the neighborhood for. So I thought
that could reduce the amount of people going to the
emergency room. They did a basic extray, but they're like, well,
you're gonna probably have to go to your doctor and
you know, go on to and have have an MRI.
(38:20):
You don't have that capability here. So what we should
have went on? Yes, I saw that. I thought I
heard that right. I was like, well, are you you
know my mom and dad did not take any medicine.
They both were in their late nineties when they went home. Amen,
but they had uh, they had healthy vegetables and things
like that. They didn't have fumigated you know, laws and
(38:41):
stuff like that. You should get all mess from the
same pharmacy and ask the pharmacies to review your mess
to make sure there's no comp Thank you, missy. Have
the conversation. Have the conversation. They they're mixed. You know,
they have that capability of pulling your mans from that
pharmaceutical place, and they'll pull your mass from that pharmaceutical place.
There is all integrate it right now, it's really neat.
(39:02):
I like this my chart thing I went on there.
I had to let them know that, hey, they pharmacy
didn't have my blood pressure medicine, just to let them.
I was able to write that the like, okay, thank
you for letting us know, keep us, keep us posting
on that next thing. I know my pharmacy was called me.
We got it. So I don't know if somebody ran
that up to risk management or administration or whatever and
(39:25):
they called over a CVS. No, do these people need
their medication? So what we're doing? Do we need to
switch locations? What we're doing?
Speaker 4 (39:33):
I kid you not.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
It was ready in twenty minutes, even from them saying
we don't have it right now. You know, so you
got to get that. You've got to talk to people.
And yes, I agree, Thank you Trey for saying that,
not only do you have a psychiatrist, you need a therapist.
You need a psychologist, you need a social worker. You know,
you need a therapist also to get that emotional piece going.
We got your holistic every discipline. Don't treat you holistically.
(39:58):
As a social worker, as a therapist, I cannot. I
don't prescribe medication. I can only know what you're taking,
be aware of its after effects, its side effects, and
make sure you're aware of it. That is all I
can do. But I'm here to treat the emotional mental
part of you, the economical part of you, the financial
part of you, the physical diet part of you. The psychiatrists,
(40:20):
they're just to monitor that medication. Are you sleeping, are
you eating? Has your appetite? And any mood swings, That's
what it was. Any mood changes, It's like, that's all okay,
thank you. Ell seeing ninety days only to refill the medication,
so please. People were asking and the world is nasty.
It's going to get nastier. Keep your head on a swivel.
(40:43):
Don't be going out at night by yourself. Have a
weapon or to a small bat in the car, whatever
you need to do to make sure you're comfortable. But
don't let fear overtake you. Be aware of how you react.
Are you a fight or flight or frozen? Fight will flow?
Speaker 4 (41:00):
Let someone know where you're going.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Let let somebody know where your destination is or where
you're going, especially you know your loved ones.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
If you're going to take a certain route, you know,
just just the back of Hey.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I'm gonna take this way to go because there's so
many people missing now, so much stuff. You don't know
what's what's real, what's not you know what's going on
in areas, So always say I typically take this particular
way that way, and if that's not, whay, I'm going
to take this way. But keep somebody posted on where
you're going. And this climate is it's scary, it's crazy.
(41:35):
Lets someone knowing check in with people. And thank you
trading in a Stasia for bringing that up. Last night
I post reposted something on Facebook. They were talking about
the fact that food stamp folk recipients.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Will be getting a letter and some of you will be,
you know, being taking off the list for foods. No
for section eight. I'm sorry that food'stap section eight. So
it's like, oh wow, and the person so sound the
real serious. So I I was sending it to key
people and the Holy Spirit a kid. You not said,
check the messages, look at the comments. So I looked
at the comments and they're like, no, this is fake,
(42:08):
this is not happening. Yeah, you're not gonna get a
letter on section eight.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
You're not.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
You can only it's not limited that you've been on
this for two years, as said all God, So I
went and deleted everything. I pray people are listening. Hey,
elegant Jannis, Yes, amen, Amen, Amen, this is what we're
here for. We set things straight. We dig up the myths,
we dig up the lies, we dig up the conversation.
Let's dissect it. Is it pertainable to everybody? Is it real?
(42:34):
Like I just said, and I'm like, I just I've
sent this to people so they feel incredible, and they
may be thinking, oh my god, section eight is you
know section eight. Don't be surprised because they're examining everything now,
especially under the social service of Umbrella, from food stamps
to snap. Everything is being and everything's gonna be revamped.
Don't be surprised, don't be mad at it, because most
(42:57):
of these services were for specific things and had a
timeline on it, a deadline not for you to be
killed on going out there getting pregnant every year so
that you could get on all these benefits. That's what
are you doing, what are you doing? And you can't
afford everybody in the house. And then once they start
pulling that carpet from that rug out from under you,
what are you gonna do then? And you know family
is not gonna help, They ain't gonna change. But be
(43:19):
careful of what you're posting, what you're reading on social
media because Facebook ain't all that. They ain't catching everything
I said, ain't They're not, And then you look like
the buffoon because it's wrong, and then they're gonna come.
Facebook comes after you saying then you're spreading, you know,
rumored information. And I'm like, well, I got it off
of here. I got it off of here, so check
(43:40):
the comments. I'm now this whole. I was checking comments.
I said, oh no, I am I posting that, not
posting it, not reposting it. But you still have to
be aware of what's going on. You need to be
downsize and budgeting, getting rid of junk, getting rid of things.
I put my another piece of my medical equipment after
seven years. I just had it in my bathroom just
(44:01):
in case I needed and I looked at it. I said,
I don't have room for this. I don't need this anymore.
I put it out, watch it. I say, ain't nobody
taking it anybody? Finally somebody took it. Just put it outside.
You gotta do it. We gotta do it. So we
love you so much. Our time is up. Please stay well,
be well, stay safe, go the extra milet go out
(44:25):
of the way. If you take the same route every
single day, or in the evening or on the weekend,
take a different route sometime, mix it up a little bit.
You just don't know who's watching. Don't park by vans
and white vans and things like that, even if you
have to walk a little distance, and try not to
go out at night if you can alone, if you can,
(44:46):
try not to go out. And if these games, make
sure you get on jackets and stuff thick enough. You
know what they were doing in Europe last year people
were getting stuck with needles and stuff like that. Didn't
even know it and ended up going to the emergency room.
Didn't know what was going on. So make sure, you know,
don't go out there, you know, just clack you know,

(03:04):
I thank you, and I thank the heavenly hosts as
they stood quietly giving me that safety, that safety net. Now, Satan,
I'm gonna speak to you. No weapon formed against me
or my family, the co hosts, my engineer, my faithful followers, viewers,
their faithful followers, your faithful God's faithful followers, and viewers
(03:25):
no weapon formed against them, shall prosper. You've messed with
the wrong crew. Now more than ever we see you,
We know what you're doing. You're not gonna get away
with it. You are your workers of iniquity. We protect.
We're asking God to protect America. Right now, in the
name of Jesus. Lord, please cover our borders importing and exporting.
(03:49):
Cover the food that's coming, that's being produced and sold
and marketed and placed in our grocery stores. Cover our
oceans and our seas, and our ships and our airplanes
and our trains and automobiles. Father God, right now, in
the name of Jesus, we know the enemy. It's been
a set time. It's been a set time. We are aware.
(04:11):
There are gonna be wars and rulors of wars. There's
gonna be threats of peace that's nonexistent. That's gonna be
a fashionable human made fathoms and shortages and everything else.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
We know.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
We know, and you've been called out, Satan. So let
no weapon formed against this people in this country. Prosper now,
Father God, this is your podcast. This is your opportunity,
unlike many others, that's out there for you to address
the people that you know that will come on and
listen with all intent and purposes to change their lives
(04:48):
and anyone around there, set them free. We're gonna get
behind the cross. We're gonna let you do what you
do best. You love us unconditioning, We love His Lord
and than thank you all this and more. We asked
in Jesus name, Amen and amen, Yes, yes, yes, yes yes.
There are times that you've got to be real with God.
(05:10):
If you've not been real with yourself and with God,
that that door that you know, heaven's closing the windows,
its windows. It's not hearing stuff right now. You've got
to make sure you come clean, and come clean quick.
I'm not gonna go into it, but I got my
I went through the house this morning setting an alarm.
I've got a confession. I've got a confession. I've got
(05:33):
a confession. And I had to say what I had
to say about me dealing with me, and then I
asked my children to forgive me and to pray for me. See,
I'm not running to get on the phone. I don't
have pair of partners, never did. Nobody's picking me up
in this. I was at a final really rough, really
(05:55):
rough nobody picking me up. And that's okay because I
know how to pray for myself. But I had to
first confess and be honest and be real. How many
of you did that this week? How many of you
did that this week? Now we're talking about mental health,
mental wellness. We are acknowledging it. The show has been
(06:17):
on for two three years now. This second round, we've
talked about self care. We talked about healthy places, safe places.
We talked about you know, unclooring your homes and your minds.
It will lead to the uncloloring of your mind. We've
given you all the steps, but how many people have
actually done it?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Hey, missy?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
How many people have done it and continue to do it.
It's not a one time thing. You don't ask for
forgiveness one time. You don't forgive another person just one
time because stuff be popping up, stuff be popping up.
You think, right, Wait a minute, I forgave her ten
years ago.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I lost my step one, of my stepson from my
first marriage, out of the blue. He just turned thirty
eight years old in July, got a testimony out of
this world. Having of chaining his doctorate degree. I've only
I was only hoping to talk with him one more time,
just to say, hey, how you doing? Check in with it?
And in four days he's gone, and I'm finding out
(07:19):
about it on the fourth day, in three days he's gone,
He's I'm finding out about it on Thursday. No man
knows the day of the hour. I can only hope
and pray that he did give his life to the Lord.
I don't know, but I got people calling if you
could just check in, check in for what to hear
you on this There are people who like to hear
(07:41):
hear themselves talk. I'm not one, even though I'm a talker,
I'm not that one. But if you listen to this show,
this podcast, a lot of your answers, you'll be amongst
a mass, a group, a selected few who are in
search of and then hopes of how dare you ask
me to check in? I'm sorry, thank you, Mickey, thank you.
(08:02):
I'm sorry. Here with your Lord, thank you, Missy. Prayers yes, please,
because my ex husband he's lost his identical twin brother,
and now he's lost his son, his oldest son. I
still have our we still have our son, but it's
a different thing. It's a different thing, especially when he went.
You know, he just he was an amazing person, you know, achiever.
He just burst through and achieved and doing his thing,
(08:26):
and you know despite medical any type of medical hindrances
and things like that. And you know, I'm sure he
wasn't alone when he passed, but he was in the
hospital and thirty eight years old, y'all, thirty eight years old?
What I say, yeah, go ahead, trade.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I was looking when trying to find some topics, you know,
things for this month, and I was looking about, you know,
just looking just to see what was out there, and
it's just something.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Just came across me when I was looking.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
This is not my best time of year, you know,
because it gains darker earlier, it's colder. It's actually my
birthday month, so Monday when we were on the show,
will be my birthday.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
But what it said, autumn is the time of a
new you know, that's time where you should things are refreshed.
So it's a switch over.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
So when I read that, I said, you know what,
let me go in to fall a different way, let
me start looking at it differently.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
And so this weekend I.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Was able to travel with some friends to a homecoming
game in North Carolina, you know, for the weekend.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
You know, we got an airbnb.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Some ladies, some lady friends of mine and typically do
this trip every year, and we got an airbnb.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
We were fortunate, you know, we all pretty much had
a room to ourselves. Didn't make the game.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Didn't make the game, which is fine, which is good
because you know, I was just going before the fellowship
and also the change of environment.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
And when I tell you that changes scene read even
just for that little bit of time, did something for me.
And so I started crying.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I started reading some scripture and I just like look
through the back of the Bible just to see where
my where God would lead me to read. And the Lemmit,
I said, okay, God, and I just got still because
I read it in the room that I was in
and I got still.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
The lights were on, the nothing was on. I said, okay,
let me just be still. And when I tell you
a little bit of time, that made a difference.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
And so you know, I'm going in the autumn with
different things, with things on my mind, and you know, Lisia,
I'd like to to try to think of some ideas
and I just put some in place, you know, and
so I'll share with you a little later some things
that I that I that I presented to someone and
I and at some point I want to mention it and.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Bring it into fruition.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And so it's gonna be evolved around domestic violence.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
You know, that's my passion. That's my baby awareness, mental
health awareness. So I said, you know what, Lord, let
me do what you need me to do. I'm gonna
be still. You show me what it is you would
have me do, and and just I just want to
honor you and do what you ask me. And so
that's where I am.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
That, that's where I am with that, you know, And
you have to take care of yourself and to reflect
and just let's get away.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Let's get away for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Steal away, steal away, steal away. Yes, yeah, you got
to make that leap. You got to prioritize. You have
to do whatever you need to do. You have to
do whatever you need to do for you, for your
for your for just for your and you've got to
fight your flesh throughout all of this. You're fighting your
flesh because your flesh don't want you to do nothing.
(11:51):
Mainly depend on God Jesus in the Holy Spirit. It
does not want you to do that, even though we
were we were, ain't it?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
By God?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Your brain wants all the recognition your flesh, you, your pride,
your emotions. Oh you hurt my feelings. Oh I'm in
my feelings?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
What what?
Speaker 4 (12:10):
What?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But why did you come out the door? If you're
in your feelings, stay home. We don't need to be
subjected to that. I don't please. You've made me into
almost this monster I have in car road rage and
only the people in the car hearing me raging, And
I'm like, what is that doing for Anyba? What is
it doing for anybo? Nothing? And God, and I had
(12:31):
to repent. Lord, Please this morning I was like God,
as I was just pouring out, pouring out, I said, God,
forgive me, but I allowed other things that have nothing
to do with the kingdom, have nothing to do with
other people, have nothing to do with my calling. It's
all flesh. Please forgive me, but I allow any of
my energy to go towards it, because that could have
(12:54):
been a moment that I missed, a phone call, that
could have been a moment that I didn't see because
I'm so in my thoughts in my head. I didn't
even see a lady in front of me crying or
a man looking despondent looking down forgive me, forgive me.
But yeah, you got to check yourself so you won't
be checked. The Bible said to judge yourself, not so
(13:15):
you won't be judged. People want to just talk about, Oh,
you're judging, you know, don't judge me, don't judge. Get
over that. You're making me look at you. You're making
me look at you. I wasn't even thinking about you.
Then all of a sudden, I'm over, like, what's going
on with this person? Why am I looking at you?
Where are you getting my attention? It reminds me of
the clown that appeared in my workshop eight o'clock in
(13:38):
the morning, fully dressed, nose shoes, make up, everything, And
I'm like, okay, she wants attention, and I was. It
was confirmed. But she also gave me a revelation about myself.
She said, well, like you, I tell jokes and I'm like,
I've never told the joke. I'm talking about real people
when I talk about are real people because I can't
remember the joke, so I've never Yeah, I'm telling you
(14:01):
I'm telling yeah, that's why I won't invite you to
the comics show. I won't know you probably probably improv nobody.
I know, we'll go. You'll hear about it later that
I was there. Amen. But yeah, you you got to.
I don't know how much more we get. It's here now.
Stuff is getting ready to fall out. I'm telling you,
(14:22):
everything is gonna it's gonna get out of the out
of whack. We've got wars, we got rumors of wars.
And in the Bible it talks about there will be
a time that there's gonna be a peace talk. It's
gonna talk about peace. It's gonna look like peace, but
behind it it's not. It's just a setup. And we're
we're there. We're there, so you gotta be careful. That's
(14:44):
why I'm praying for my country. I'm praying. Things are
coming back into the country. Dealerships are moving back into
the United States, even though the government is shut down.
I'm not gonna deal with that just yet. But we got,
you know, schools, new schools, trade schools are opening in
the United in the States. We got it's slowly, it's unwinding,
but here we go. We've got people who are farming now,
(15:06):
they're purposely looking for land that they can farm on.
And we've got government, and well government was if we
got talks federal you know, grants out there for these people.
Money's out there, small business loans for these people that
want to go into and have livestock and things. It's
coming back, and I'm staying on that prayer point until
we are back in full and we have been repaid
(15:29):
with interest the moneys that we've loaned since the eighteenth century.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I got it, and I got another praise before it.
I'm sorry, like I said, it's like when I went
went down there. It was when at this particular home.
It's knock, not an ante, and I'm not a graduate.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Of there, but you know, I'm friends with someone whose
parents graduated from there, and the door to go there,
and when we went usually we have a typical routine
of going to the vendors.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Know everybody's selling stuff for at.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Or you know Greek pair form that when I say that,
you know, sororities, fraternities, shade butters.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
It's a lot of small businesses. And when I tell you,
I was had walked around said I don't really see
anything that grabbed me.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
And I met with a sorority sister and she was
talking about someone who was selling glasses frames, you know,
just eyeglasses, and she said, yeah, I said, and she said,
and they're nice, and she talked it up and she.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Said, and they're heavy frames and they feel good and
they sit on your face. And I said, let me look.
And I went back. She said, let me show you,
and she said, I brought you a customer. And I
was looking at it and I saw some frames, and I.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Said, do they take the flex Spinning account, which is
my job offers. So it's a certain amount of money
you could pay into, but you can use it for
your co payments or things that you need related to
your medical And so God has it that they accept
my flex spinning account.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
And I was able to and and and the lady
was saying, you know what.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
The my sorority sister, she said, you know, gonna seek
money into a big business, Gonna do that, stink it
into somebody that is smaller business.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
And when I say, I walked out, well, not that
same day I saw glasses.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I had my car, my flex cart, but I didn't
have the right one because somebody tried to hack it,
and I left the other one at the Airbnb.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
That had just gotten and so I asked my roommate,
I said, do you see maccars?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
She said, your card is here. So I thought I
was gonna go back Saturday night. Didn't go back, had
it Except Sunday we went. The vendors were still there
but packing up, and they said, we were just asking
if you were wondering if you were gonna come back.
We still have your glasses that you picked out. And
I was able to get the two pairs that I liked.
And when I say that made that made my day
(17:51):
one because I got locked had it there, and I said, Lord,
just not there. It wasn't meant the same glasses.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
They had it on me.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
My car was working, and I just walked in there
just being and you you would have thought I had
won a million dollars. But I was also helping a
smaller business too as well, and and and it changed
my mindset and I was just happy.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
I really was very happy.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
One of all because my inssurance paid for it, and
I said, okay, okay, God, let's let's keep it moving.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
And so it's the little things. It really is it
really is. And so I'm just excited and and and
just feeling blessed. I really am, I really am.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's my well, thank you, thank you, and you know,
and it's so funny you should mention that because me
and miss Kate went just went ran over the loved
to help the small businesses, all right, went over to
Walmart and to get hurt because I said, you need
some new glasses. How do you see out of those?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
You know?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
And and we went through all the I mean all
the truth and everything. So how do these looking? Most
of the time she kept saying, kind, I look just
like you. And I'm like, you know, no matter what
glasses you get, you were going to look like me.
You know. I'm sorry, I mean it like that, boss,
I ain't gonna take it like that, but you still
gonna look like me, you know. And she finally found
a pair and everything, and and it was still less
(19:14):
expensive than we I thought it would be and everything else,
and it's just you know, and we had our favorite
employee working that day, working today, and all the baskets
are in the parking lot at Walmart. I'm like, why
is it that they've not come out here to get
the baskets because I know people are in me. Hundreds
of people are piling into the store, and I'm like,
all of these baskets out here, I cannot believe this
(19:36):
in all the stalls, and you've not gone to smaller
business have nicer things at times. And I like that
one of the kinds. I like one of the kinds
I don't like to buy something and in a minute
I see it again. I really don't like that. So
I'd rather go to a small business and and and
and do my shopping and things. I really enjoy that.
This past weekend, I was I had my book signing
(19:57):
at a local Christian bookstore and I was just talking
to customers. It was just like I was just like, oh,
that's why, Okay, that's not my thing. Okay, thank you
lord Plisi. If that's your email with all those emails,
yeah I know girl. Excuse me, Guys, I gotta take
(20:17):
a moment.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Because I'm like, why is she on my email? But
I forgot a log out. I'm like, that's my email.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
He was losing I'm going I'm coming down the stage
and just give me a minute here. You almost gave
me a heart attack. I'm like I don't know fifty
nine thousand people that's gonna send me fifty nine thousand
worth an email. That's you and you this side.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I try to gurl.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
If you don't get off of this, I'm getting you
in your own PC. That's it. I can't. Oh my god, no,
I have this almost. I deleted a lot of your
deleted a lot of your Wow, excuse me at the stage.
I'm coming back. I'm coming back, y'all. I'm having a
moment here. You see, earl. I might assume you was
(21:00):
gonna figure it out if you look at the name.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
I didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Just now you saw me. I'm looking at the head
and I'm like, no, I didn't see you because I
was walking behind y'all, trying to get some motions. You
see who I live with? You see who I live with?
Who's got a mother in law cottage on the property.
I'm just bringing my dog. I'm just me and my dog. Okay.
Then anyway, yes, Anastagia, it was. It was awesome as always.
I a few people. One person. One person showed up
(21:28):
that made a promise that he was obedient and purchased
some books. Now that's the funny part when the people
come to the thing, you don't purchase anything. I'm not
gonna go there. But this past Saturday, great event. I
got another one coming up this coming Saturday. I think
I'm may be the only author out there at this event.
But it was really nice. And I'm talking to the
people in the store, just the customers, not about the book.
(21:50):
I'm like, you know, this is the place. This place
has one of a kind, you know, little items and
stuff like that, unique little things. Bellisia even did a
little shop because she goes, say, let's do a little
shopping before we before we go home. Let's pack up
the car. But listen do and so she found I said, yeah,
and if I was shopping for a massive amount of people,
you'll be getting stuff from here. I'm telling They've got
everything from a kitchen ware stuff to you know, coasters,
(22:15):
all kinds of unique things.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
And I like to do that.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I like to give, you know, buy and purchase. But
I only got a couple of people I'm shopping for,
so thank you Jesus, Holly do. And I had to
leave because I said, I don't want to be buying
out the store because I will go there. But pouches
and just affirmation things. It's just and people are busy
out here. They're they're busy that people are doing. I
met a young lady and her fiance and she's she
(22:38):
does bridal retreats well, bridal parties and Brian's in their
bridal parties and she does Christian retreats. I said, I
need to have you on this ship on my podcast.
She said I would, yes, I would love to. I
was like, see that, I mean, people doing things to
help other people. It was just an idea. And she said,
you know, and it's clean and wholesome and everything else,
(22:59):
and we pray for each other. I said, I like
that kind of stuff. I would hire her. I would
give that. I would see that into someone's uh you know,
as for their wedding gifts. I would do that. That
makes sense. That's so unique. That's so different. So here now,
you know, two saturdays in a room, I'm hearing new things,
creative opportunities and things like that. Like I'm and I'm
(23:20):
you know, thumbs uping everybody, but hearing the store, Like
I said, if the customers they were coming in just
just coming in and and even know the all the
staff were directing them to me. But I was just
telling them to go shop at the store and look around,
you know, don't stop at my table, go look around
because there's a lot of stuff in here. And people
were walking out with stuff, bags and stuff, so you know,
(23:41):
And that was not even about sales, things being gonna sell.
So people are doing things. People are still reading books.
They're still reading hardcover books and stuff like that. So
you know, where do you go from here? What's your
hold of that? I had several I asked several customers
of that as they were just telling me about where
they're at and stuff, and I'm like, well, why are
you stuck? Who's causing you to be stuck? And don't
(24:04):
mention your money, don't mention your money, but who's causing
you to be stuck? And they had to think for
a minute, like what's me?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
It's me?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
And I'm like, yeah, so what are you gonna do
by it?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
See?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I was trying to get make people mad. See I
think if I can make you mad, that makes you like, oh,
not to where you want to hit or curse or whatever,
but you get mad. But you know what, I am
frustrated with this. This I can make this call. I
can make this leap. I can make this jump. I
can do this. I am the one helding it out.
(24:34):
I'm the one that can make the decision. So what's
holding you back? What's keeping you from doing that? Now?
Mental mental illness, mental illnesses have caught up with the
physical illnesses, neurological illnesses. They're here, they are here, they're here,
and what are we.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Doing about it?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Because the medications and any medication. Let me just say
this is a disclaimer. Any medication, I don't care. If
you're on an antibiotic, there's a side effect, there's a
side effect, then you gotta take a side effect pill.
So be careful with that. Look at what the medications
you are taking. Make sure you're listening to your doctor.
Make sure you're monitoring your own statistics, your own vidals,
(25:14):
because you don't need to be on it for the
rest of your life. I don't care what the doctor says.
You don't have to be on them. You don't have
to do that. And I've already shared with you all.
As I take my medication, as I'm brushing back in
Jesus' name, as I'm swallowing my pill, go to every
crack every crevice, every corner. Go do what you need
to do and uproot whatever's in me. Kill it at
(25:35):
the root, burn it up with fire, by the fire
of God, never to return again. I don't like medication.
I don't like going to the doctor, because they gonna
do what they're in their field. They're only gonna do
what they can do, whether they believe in God or not.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
No one has ever said to me, let's pray before
we read these results. Let's pray before this I examine you.
No one has said that. Even in physical therapy out
patient and patient in my house, no one has ever said,
let's pray. In my counseling sessions, I've done that. You
know what, Let's pray. I don't even ask, do you
(26:12):
believe in God? I don't have time for that. If
God is ushering me to pray, We're gonna pray. And
I've been so blessed even despite the colleges, even if
it was a public college, a public university, I still
opened my class with prayer. And they were secular universities.
Let's pray because I don't know what y'all coming in
here dragging for. But here we go, and I've got
(26:34):
to teach on top of that, you're not gonna hear
one thing. We're saying that, you're not gonna remember remember anything.
So let's get to your day. What was going on?
And I shared with you all over the years if
this one class was that night.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
It was a.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Mandatory class for every freshman. So my class was always

then I did that took you know, everybody was there.
(27:28):
I said, okay, here we go. What's going on with y'all?
I moved a podium out the way and I was
sitting on my school. I said, let's go. I don't know.
I'm not teaching on top of this. I don't know
what y'all have had a bad day, you had a
bad week. Let's go. First row, a young a mom
of a sixteen year old. She's a doctor's assistant. Worked
as a medical assistant in a doctor's office. A sixteen
(27:49):
year old daughter had a starker a student who came
to their property trying to see the daughter, even though
he's been trespassed and everything. Dad's a Sheriffy goes to
his car to get a back because you not listening.
You've been trespast. The daughter's afraid to even go out
and leave the house. Second row, young lady from Morocco, engaged,
(28:11):
just found out the fiance was cheating on her. She said,
I'm not giving back the ring. So my high school
was a life what and they're looking like, huh. Third
road it was something. Fourth row, it was something, and
I said, well, let's talk about it again. I didn't
ask you. Are you all the people of faith? Are
you people that believe in God?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
We're gonna have time for that.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I got a two and a half hour class. I
gotta teach. This is already at night. It's eight o'clock
at night, seven o'clock at night, so let's go listen,
listen how we resolve this. And then you young lady
with the wedding ring, just keep the ring, you know,
and everybody laughing. So finally we got some humor going
and I said, okay, to my high schoolers, y'all got that.
We got to cover this lid back up. I was
always I knew that my class would open up a
(28:54):
can of worms. I was determined every session to close
it before they left my presence because they were wide open,
and that's what the devil was waiting on. So I'm
not gonna have that. So I said, okay, guys, y'all
have any questions you want to ask him? And they're
like no, I said, well, this is adulthood. These are issues.
This happen, it can happen, So I can imagine what
(29:14):
the world's going through right now. I almost got. I
was walking and uh, what's the CBS and the guy
just looking at his phone and head look, heads up,
heads up. He said, oh, I'm sorry about to hit me,
I mean coming straight for me, and the eyes were
small so I didn't have much room wiggle room. I said,
heads up, heads up. Oh oh, I'm sorry. We're out
to eat yesterday. And this lady comes from an another table,
(29:37):
this couple, two sets of couples come in. They're trying
to sit down. The lady come on. The man is
moving the bench, my bench, my seat with you know
in those fast in those restaurants, we share the same bench.
He's on one side, I'm on the other. He's moving me.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I was like, what's going on? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
He said, oh, I'm sorry, No, I had nothing.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
What was that?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
What if I was eating?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
What if I was eating?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And I'm sitting there and Belie she's like, do you
need to move on? Do we need to move us
in there? And they think it was funny, but I
know they were already a little tipsy. You've got to
be tipsy about three o'clock in the afternoon and getting
ready to drink some more. And I tell you, every
time I go to Public's, people got four bottles of
water in the bask in the shopping cart. Four bottles
(30:20):
And I'm like, oh my god, so it's here. What
are you doing about it? And please be very careful
Now that commercials talks about it's a well they're talking
about tartar dyskinesia, you know, the shakes and the involuntary movement,
facial movements. Well, they're finally admitting and this is a
side effect from mental mental medicaid, psychotrophic medication for mental illnesses.
(30:44):
They're finally they've been soon enough. I'm sure you've got
to say this. This is why these people who are
normal but they're they're having issues and they get diagnosed
and they're placed on medication, and all of a sudden
they've got involuntary body movements. It's from the medication that
they need to stabilized. So now so you've heard the commercial.
Now this medication is known to you know, it comes
(31:06):
from it stems from, you know, mental health medication. So
you got to check everything. Guys, don't leave it depends
on the medication. Don't leave. It depend on the doctors nurses.
They're only doing what they could do. They can't think
outside the box of what they've been Go ahead, just just.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
To interject with some of that with two because I
know the medication.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Piece is a stickler for folks.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
But one of the worst things that you can do
if you're on a medication or prescribe a medication, a
psychotropic medication to manage your mood is to say that
it's not working.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
If you have not been taken it.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
So sometimes they say, well, how is it because you
don't want to tell the doctor you haven't been taking it,
and so when you tell the doctor it's not helping,
he's gonna up it, or you know he's gonna up
it or try something else. I want to just kind
of just kind of explain to people understand the side
effects of it. Don't understand ask the side effects of it.
Ask what will happen if you not take it? You
(32:11):
know what a risk if you do not take it.
So you weigh taking it versus not taking it, and
take it. If you're prescribed it, take it. If you're
noticing something, document it, let your doctor know. If it's
too much, then they can tweak it and bring it down.
If it's too little, then tweak and bring it up.
So it is people say, I feel like again in people,
we basically you are because it goes by body weight,
(32:33):
symptoms and all this other stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
But you have to be consistent.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
That's the only way the doctor's going to get you
a real the correct dosage of anything, and so try it.
But immediately if it's making you do if you have
to work it, it's making you sleepy, let that doctor
know so they can tweak it for that. But you
have to kind of monitor it. And then once they
monitor it, say okay, I've been taking this for six weeks,
(32:58):
this is what I'm seeing in the doctor. To have
to kind of play with it till it gets to
the point where you're aligned in to it. But don't
be afraid to ask questions. If you're afraid to ask questions,
take somebody with you that doesn't mind asking questions and
will help you with that. Don't be afraid to ask.
You know, the doctor is the doctor, but this is
your body.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
So I just want to kind of say that. Never
say that it's not working and you haven't taken it consistent.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Amen, Thank you, Trey, Thank you, great catch, great catch.
You're absolutely right. And I know our men and women
who have been dishonorably discharged your honorably discharged at an
early time because of their mental emotional status, and they
got there they have to hook up with or you know,
align themselves with the local vas and their states and
(33:46):
their cities. And all I'm knowing is that psychiatrists. That's
the psychiatrist you're seeing, and they're saying, you know, they're
asking three questions. Are you are you eating? Are you
sleeping well? Has your appetite change? And what's that is
a third one? That's all they ask is fifteen minutes,
fifteen minutes and you're on fifteen medications fifteen eight. I'm
(34:10):
not an advocate for medication, but oh my god, how
are you even able to think You've got to take
eight to fifteen minutes a day and it's nothing working
because you have nobody to talk to to talk these
things out and to encourage you to go do some
other things.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
So what I would like to interject to is, so
typically psychiatrists and I know you know, Lisia, but I'm
just saying it for an audience. Typically psychiatrists prescribe medications.
Our patient therapy is something totally different. But what I
would suggest, having worked with people in the mental health field,
have both so that way, your doctor, like Lisha was saying,
(34:46):
typically when you're with a psychiatrist, the session is only
fifteen minutes.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
When you're with a therapist.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Your sessions run from anywhere from thirty minutes to forty
five minutes, which gives the therapists kind of a gist
of what's going on with you. Then your opportunity was
speaking with the therapist, and then you're talking.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
With the therapists. The therapists who say, okay, we kind
of medications and help you modify. Then when you go
back to.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
The psychiatrist, you're saying this, so they go kind of
hand in hand, you know, if you need the medication.
I would also suggest you having an outpatient therapy piece,
so you'll have both and in that way you'll get
more time. So get an hour's worth of time, fifteen
minutes with the person that's going to give you the MADS,
forty thirty to forty five minutes with the person that's
going to help you process all the symptoms and stuff
(35:32):
that you're going through.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
I cannot speak for social workers and program people and
case workers and what they're doing today, but back in
my day when I worked at the local community mental
health facility, I had a client that will all my
clients always will tell me where they've gone to the
dentists and the dentists prescribed something when they went to
this doctor. That doctor prescribed. So I was like, you know,
(35:54):
what are you and I'm telling my asking my client.
Are you telling your doctors what's going on? You know
that you're taking all these meds now? I said, can
I get your permission? I'll write a letter to all
the doctors. You just give me addresses and names. I'll
take it from here. And she said, yeah, sure, no problem.
The dentist calls me, identifying himself. He said, are you
serious that she is on these medicines? I said yes, sir.
(36:18):
He said, oh my god. Well everything I'm giving her
is contradicting it, canceling it out. The dental medication is
canceling out the mental health medication. I said, well, thank god,
I just want to I would love to just gather
y'all all. And but she gave me permission to talk
with you all to release her medications, so you all
can take a look at what she's on now today.
(36:40):
I know my doctors ain't asked are you are you?
Are you active with your dentists? Are you active with
the ear nose and throat doctor or physical You know who?
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (36:50):
You know who are your active and who's prescribed medication?
Now they're asking in some sectors, but you got to
let your primary doctor know, especially a primary And when
you're filling out the application at the new patient information,
they ask you what medications you're taking. Put them down
there so they can see and make sure they're not
canceling out or causing more side effects or injuring your organs,
(37:14):
your internal organs. And this is all about mental health
and wellness.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
This is all about that.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Because you don't need to be getting sick and nobody
and most of the time, what we're finding out we
don't know. We don't have a diagnosis. We really don't
know what's going on, what this has happened, this is,
but it could be so much. And now you're going
to the emergency rooms. They're only going to treat that what.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
You came in for.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Even though you could say that I have hives and
this is gone and my left knee but you know
it's popped, and no, they take the information down, they
take they do an assessment, but they're not dealing with
all that other stuff. They're dealing with what you came
in here for. We can't see no break, so you can.
We're gonna, you know, just guise your talent all but
check in with an orthopedic doctor and things like orthopedic doctor,
(38:00):
what's a MIKI. You ain't seen nothing, but they can't.
They don't even do MRIs. We went to a care unit,
that's what they're in the neighborhood for. So I thought
that could reduce the amount of people going to the
emergency room. They did a basic extray, but they're like, well,
you're gonna probably have to go to your doctor and
you know, go on to and have have an MRI.
(38:20):
You don't have that capability here. So what we should
have went on? Yes, I saw that. I thought I
heard that right. I was like, well, are you you
know my mom and dad did not take any medicine.
They both were in their late nineties when they went home. Amen,
but they had uh, they had healthy vegetables and things
like that. They didn't have fumigated you know, laws and
(38:41):
stuff like that. You should get all mess from the
same pharmacy and ask the pharmacies to review your mess
to make sure there's no comp Thank you, missy. Have
the conversation. Have the conversation. They they're mixed. You know,
they have that capability of pulling your mans from that
pharmaceutical place, and they'll pull your mass from that pharmaceutical place.
There is all integrate it right now, it's really neat.
(39:02):
I like this my chart thing I went on there.
I had to let them know that, hey, they pharmacy
didn't have my blood pressure medicine, just to let them.
I was able to write that the like, okay, thank
you for letting us know, keep us, keep us posting
on that next thing. I know my pharmacy was called me.
We got it. So I don't know if somebody ran
that up to risk management or administration or whatever and
(39:25):
they called over a CVS. No, do these people need
their medication? So what we're doing? Do we need to
switch locations? What we're doing?
Speaker 4 (39:33):
I kid you not.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
It was ready in twenty minutes, even from them saying
we don't have it right now. You know, so you
got to get that. You've got to talk to people.
And yes, I agree, Thank you Trey for saying that,
not only do you have a psychiatrist, you need a therapist.
You need a psychologist, you need a social worker. You know,
you need a therapist also to get that emotional piece going.
We got your holistic every discipline. Don't treat you holistically.
(39:58):
As a social worker, as a therapist, I cannot. I
don't prescribe medication. I can only know what you're taking,
be aware of its after effects, its side effects, and
make sure you're aware of it. That is all I
can do. But I'm here to treat the emotional mental
part of you, the economical part of you, the financial
part of you, the physical diet part of you. The psychiatrists,
(40:20):
they're just to monitor that medication. Are you sleeping, are
you eating? Has your appetite? And any mood swings, That's
what it was. Any mood changes, It's like, that's all okay,
thank you. Ell seeing ninety days only to refill the medication,
so please. People were asking and the world is nasty.
It's going to get nastier. Keep your head on a swivel.
(40:43):
Don't be going out at night by yourself. Have a
weapon or to a small bat in the car, whatever
you need to do to make sure you're comfortable. But
don't let fear overtake you. Be aware of how you react.
Are you a fight or flight or frozen? Fight will flow?
Speaker 4 (41:00):
Let someone know where you're going.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Let let somebody know where your destination is or where
you're going, especially you know your loved ones.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
If you're going to take a certain route, you know,
just just the back of Hey.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I'm gonna take this way to go because there's so
many people missing now, so much stuff. You don't know
what's what's real, what's not you know what's going on
in areas, So always say I typically take this particular
way that way, and if that's not, whay, I'm going
to take this way. But keep somebody posted on where
you're going. And this climate is it's scary, it's crazy.
(41:35):
Lets someone knowing check in with people. And thank you
trading in a Stasia for bringing that up. Last night
I post reposted something on Facebook. They were talking about
the fact that food stamp folk recipients.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Will be getting a letter and some of you will be,
you know, being taking off the list for foods. No
for section eight. I'm sorry that food'stap section eight. So
it's like, oh wow, and the person so sound the
real serious. So I I was sending it to key
people and the Holy Spirit a kid. You not said,
check the messages, look at the comments. So I looked
at the comments and they're like, no, this is fake,
(42:08):
this is not happening. Yeah, you're not gonna get a
letter on section eight.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
You're not.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
You can only it's not limited that you've been on
this for two years, as said all God, So I
went and deleted everything. I pray people are listening. Hey,
elegant Jannis, Yes, amen, Amen, Amen, this is what we're
here for. We set things straight. We dig up the myths,
we dig up the lies, we dig up the conversation.
Let's dissect it. Is it pertainable to everybody? Is it real?
(42:34):
Like I just said, and I'm like, I just I've
sent this to people so they feel incredible, and they
may be thinking, oh my god, section eight is you
know section eight. Don't be surprised because they're examining everything now,
especially under the social service of Umbrella, from food stamps
to snap. Everything is being and everything's gonna be revamped.
Don't be surprised, don't be mad at it, because most
(42:57):
of these services were for specific things and had a
timeline on it, a deadline not for you to be
killed on going out there getting pregnant every year so
that you could get on all these benefits. That's what
are you doing, what are you doing? And you can't
afford everybody in the house. And then once they start
pulling that carpet from that rug out from under you,
what are you gonna do then? And you know family
is not gonna help, They ain't gonna change. But be
(43:19):
careful of what you're posting, what you're reading on social
media because Facebook ain't all that. They ain't catching everything
I said, ain't They're not, And then you look like
the buffoon because it's wrong, and then they're gonna come.
Facebook comes after you saying then you're spreading, you know,
rumored information. And I'm like, well, I got it off
of here. I got it off of here, so check
(43:40):
the comments. I'm now this whole. I was checking comments.
I said, oh no, I am I posting that, not
posting it, not reposting it. But you still have to
be aware of what's going on. You need to be
downsize and budgeting, getting rid of junk, getting rid of things.
I put my another piece of my medical equipment after
seven years. I just had it in my bathroom just
(44:01):
in case I needed and I looked at it. I said,
I don't have room for this. I don't need this anymore.
I put it out, watch it. I say, ain't nobody
taking it anybody? Finally somebody took it. Just put it outside.
You gotta do it. We gotta do it. So we
love you so much. Our time is up. Please stay well,
be well, stay safe, go the extra milet go out
(44:25):
of the way. If you take the same route every
single day, or in the evening or on the weekend,
take a different route sometime, mix it up a little bit.
You just don't know who's watching. Don't park by vans
and white vans and things like that, even if you
have to walk a little distance, and try not to
go out at night if you can alone, if you can,
(44:46):
try not to go out. And if these games, make
sure you get on jackets and stuff thick enough. You
know what they were doing in Europe last year people
were getting stuck with needles and stuff like that. Didn't
even know it and ended up going to the emergency room.
Didn't know what was going on. So make sure, you know,
don't go out there, you know, just clack you know,
all out, you know, no, put on a jacket, you know,
(45:08):
and be careful people rubbing up against you and everything.
Thank you, ladies for this information. L OK, thank you,
Tennessee was in the house. We're out. I'm gonna say
you know, farewell. We'll see you next time, same station.
Be blessed now night night by pass.
