If I share the good, thenI celebrate the good. If I
celebrate the good, then I livethe good. So I can be paid
to be my greatest. But Ihave to learn the good to be the
good. So what does it taketo be the greatest? It's as simple
as a free fifteen minute consultation.Be kind to yourself. You'll all us.

(03:07):
What are some commons that prevent peoplefrom Hey, Asia, Gurty God?
Is not many Banks here from theSeason and Love Podcasts. Yeah,
I would say remorse. So shameand guilt is a very divided emotion.
And these are one of the manyamazing conversations that we have every day Monday

and Friday right here in the Seasonand podcasts with myself Nami Banks, as
well as our resident therapist, doctorWill Washington. Washington welcome in. Come
by our relationship, come by alot of times, it's afraid of how
people will look at us, andso that compassion can't enter. You can

(03:54):
Is it all ready? Welcome back? Intragurty got his memory banks here on
this season and stelf Love podcast,And today we're talking about appreciation, you
know, the month of May.It's all about using our words impeccablely as
well as mental health awareness. AndI have our resident therapist here with us,

(04:14):
doctor Will. Hey, Hey,I'm feeling boastful and bountiful. All
right, m hmm, all right, yeah you it's just something happening right
here. It's a verb. Itry to use better verbs. I was

(04:39):
going for verbs. Okay, allright, So my beautiful people, I
want to welcome y'all back. Youknow how we always start off my shows
is with a nice guided meditation,and you know, this is our last
I'm just sitting here. This isour last show. I was like,
I was like, I hope yousay something about it right now, if
we just get right into it,I really hope. I was like,

(05:00):
please say something, Please say alittle speech. Yes, this is this
is our last, this is ourlast show of our first season. Man.
I guess just even this ended itwith this word as impeccable appreciation.
It's I guess that's the way togo. Out. Uh huh. That's

(05:24):
that's definitely a way to go out, because not only is appreciation for doctor
Will of joining me on this journey, but also appreciation of all of you
listeners there. True, And I'mgonna say appreciation for myself. I'm gonna
say, I'm gonna be like SnoopDogg, is that I appreciate myself.

(05:46):
I got to. Yeah, Andbecause this journey has not been easy,
It's been very challenging, and forto continue to look at yourself in the
mirror and be able to embrace allthe imperfections, but not only embracing those
imperfections, but knowing that there isan elevation and a change and a transformation

(06:10):
that needs to happen, but alsoallowing that transformation and working with the transformation
and not against it. With thisjourney, it's been very eye opening for
me. It's been an amazing journey. I'm just at times I get lost

(06:31):
for words. Yeah, when Ithink this is episode one hundred and thirty
six, one hundred and thirty six, Yeah, and just to what the
angel number means, yeah, that'sone thirty six. Yeah. And when

(06:58):
I decided, I didn't know whento and I'm gonna be honest, I
didn't know when to cut it off. I just said, you know,
do I do it at one hundredepisodes? And I said no, it's
more to be said, do Ido it? You know, I didn't
know where, and I said,you know what, it's time for me
to take a rest, to reset, to regroup, to come back because

(07:18):
I have more ideas for season two, just to allow it to grow.
And so it's like right now,taking this break is allowing it to simmer,
you know, as we cook,allows it to simmer and become very
se as. I believe more peoplewill come and listen to it, to

(07:41):
just allow it to manifest more andto bring more. So you know how
we cook and we studied, justadd me in more soft Right now,
it's time for me just to turnit on a little bit and just let
it simmer, you know, throughthese next three months and allow that aroma
to come for everybody to smell it. Yeah. Wow, you know Angel

(08:03):
number one three six actually means thestart of new projects and the manifestation of
your dreams. Wow. So divineguidance and the manifestation of divine plans,
whether it is what there it isYou're good. Wow you the one?

(08:35):
Wow mm hmm wow. Yes,let me say this. It is because
I'm just I want to get intothis show. I really do. But
it's just like all ready to haveme a drink a tequila. I was

(08:56):
gonna drink one the night. Iwas like like I'm gonna do something,
Yeah, like a drinker tequila,you know, like like something like really,
because you know, we always talkabout celebrating, celebrating our wins,
celebrating those goals, celebrating ourselves evenno matter how small or how big they

(09:18):
are. And a lot of timeswe we want to start something, you
know what I mean, We wantto start something, and for a reason,
we never have the courage to doit, you know, whether it
feels like, you know, wedon't think we have enough money for it,
or we don't have enough talent,or we don't knowledge for or we

(09:41):
are not just worthy of being there, or even just pure I'm a fucking
up, you understand what I'm saying. And through this whole journey, I
went through all of that, allof that thinking, all of that,
and I kept on going through.So if anything, this is a sign

(10:05):
of me of overcoming my own selfdoubt. This is a testament in itself.
Period. When people look at meand they look and they see my
name Naomi Banks, you think,oh, that's that porn chick. How

(10:26):
was she talking about spirituality? Howis she talking about self love? How
was she talking about all of thesethings? When she did a B C
D on camera? Right? Youknow, that's just that's just one part
of me. That's just that.That's it the thing I can say about

(10:46):
anybody like that. That's how youwent to work at McDonalds. It's just
your life was an on camera.We could put a camera on you can
see about your life. You sureyou want that? You And I had
to ask myself this, why areyou doing this? Why are you doing

(11:09):
asks Naomi Bridge again podcasts? Whyare you doing the season of self Love
podcasts? Is it for you?Is it to prove someone else wrong?
This is a show? What isit for? And I think we talked
about this last week a little bit. You know what are your attention is

(11:31):
really true and pure or when you'redoing this right? And I don't know
what I'm gonna do for these nextthree months because I love to get up
in the morning and do this show. I started one way, and it's
different. So when when we're finished, I'm in a whole different move,

(11:54):
you know. Right when I'm doingthis, you know, and it feels
amazing. When I do the editingand I go back and I go back
and listen to the shows all overagain, it's just like I'm listening to
it for the first time. Itused to be a time that I used
to hate hearing my voice. Wow, Now I love hearing my voice because

(12:18):
I love to hear what the messagesare. Because the messages are not only
for you, but these are messagesfor me for myself. Yeah, you're
finally listening to Yeah, you're finallylistening to your own advice. And many
of us that don't like our ownvoices because we don't actually like listening to
our own advice, we love givingit to others. Yeah. Yeah,

(12:43):
M And I know this creation ofthis, this wasn't just for you all.
This was for me as well.This was for me as well.
Knowing that I have to be Ihave to be about it. I can't
just talk about talk self love.I have to be love. Does that

(13:09):
make sense? Yeah? And Iand your your statement, your statement of
saying I had to do this forme. Seeing you actually created for you
allowed me to see myself in itbecause you didn't make it for me,

(13:30):
and so I had to find myselfin your in your dream, and I
was able to do that because itwas selfless. It was truly a part
of your heart, and so heartsees heart mm hmm right. And so
the more I've even worked and witnessedyou that secondary healing is why I talk
about so much. I saw youcreating your own healing, and so it

(13:52):
created me the chance to create myown healing as well. And that's so
prolific to be able to be apart of someone's healing so much that you
actually get to your own too.Being with you has restored my faith in

(14:13):
creating as well. Well. Thankyou, you know it was you know
before every show, I do itforever, and I was thanking God for
giving from having the courage to havevulnerability and being balanced in this journey.

(14:41):
And if you look, if youthink about it, courage and vulnerability are
on two different roles. Role thatyou talked about yesterday when you took a
guided meditation, and that's why Iknew when you was like when you first
you know opened us up with it, and you said, I want you
to envision yourself on this road andyou on this road. And it's two

(15:03):
different roads, and you have tomake a choice on which road that you
want to go through. And youtook us around that whole road. So
before when you was talk like Idon't want to go around there, I'm
right here, I understood what itwas. But I still went down that
road because what I had to dowas, first of all, I want

(15:26):
to make sure that we will stillcontinue align in this and where you were
going, I would see where youwhere you were taking me to. I
want to see what me too.But also it gave me confirmation that girl,
this is it, you are facingyour true north. Keep going,

(15:46):
keep going, don't worry about nothingelse. Everything is going to make its
way. Take your hands off ofit now. You already put all the
season season in it. Now letit marinate, let it simmer, let
it get all this flavor, andlet it go and go and let it
go. You not only have youshow your authentic self, but you showed

(16:11):
your honest heart. You showed it, You showed your vulnerability, your courage,
you showed your boldness. You evenshared a tear in this mm hm.
You laid on a couch and wasable to be you know, allow
somebody to go into your hand onthis podcast. So right now, there

(16:36):
is nothing else that you need todo is just allow it to do its
work. We don't want to hearnothing else from you right now. We
just want you to get go preparedfor r wow. Yeah, and how
many months was this? I startedin October, that's my birthday month.

(17:03):
And it started off just as aone month series and it's supposed to went
into I did a class, aself love course class, Embracing self class,
and that's where it went into.But in the process, I think
I was like in week two orthree and I was sitting in meditation and

(17:25):
it was like this needs to bea daily show. And I was sitting
there, I'm gonna do this,like what's like. And it went from
there and I know that it hasgrown so much. I remember starting and
I remember starting with the meditation Iand everybody hands up, you know,

(17:48):
just all of that just doing andit kind of like, you know,
kind of went into this own.I haven't watched anybody, look at anybody.
It's just like this is what you'redoing. This is the things that
you that you need. This isthe things that you've been through. These
are things. And sometimes it evenpeople that I've spoken to that I'm like,
oh wow, people need to hearthis, meaning that people need to

(18:10):
be able to get through this.I can't share the exact conversation that I've
had with someone, but I knowthat it's needed. So not only I'm
working, there's but I'm taking myown stuff as well. But then at
the moment, it's like, okay, I need to when I knew,
hold on, this is getting alittle overwhelming. There's something that I'm missing.
And I remember sitting in my GoldenRoads roun. I remember sitting at

(18:33):
my ancestral alter, asking and praying. It was a Monday. Look,
I'm going into the year. I'mgoing into the new year and the year
of twenty twenty four. It's supposedto be my year of domination. Now
y'all know what I'm doing, youknow how I'm doing it. I need

(18:55):
some help. I need some help, and I need I need to know
who's sinning it, who's sinning thehouse. And not knowing that you was
gonna come back around because you hadcontacted me before for a whole I even
know when I was game to yeah, tap me, you're thinking you would

(19:18):
ask Naomi like I trust And Iappreciate it because because I felt your purpose,
I could trust what you needed andyou could trust what you were asking
of me too. And I thinkthat's the I think that's one of the
most special parts about it, Yeah, is that you trusted I could trust

(19:44):
you because you were in your purpose. Yeah, but let me share something
with you. I don't think youI never shared this with you. So
when you came on and we hadthat conversation, I remember, we had
a great conversation. Everything disadligned.It was good. And I remember I
was talking to my sister and Iremember in that conversation that we were talking

(20:07):
and because you know, you doholistic you know, healing as well,
and she was going to be myholistic killing you know. I was,
you know, I have on myboard this whole you know, facility called
el fa me and she was gonna, you know, and she hadn't really
been doing it, and I waswaiting for her, you know, And

(20:30):
I remember sitting talking with her andshe was like, now it's just gone.
She said, because I'm holding youback. She said, no,
go go, she said, thisis this is what it's supposed to be.
She said, I'm coming, shesaid, she said anything I can
probably learn from him. You knowwhat, because at that moment, I

(20:52):
thought, I was like, holdon, am I doing something wrong?
And so in that moment, Ikind of second guess because we've always done
everything together, you know what I'msaying, and this journey, I have
been blessed to be able to gothrough the spiritual journey with not only my
blood system, but she's also mysoul system. You know. There's that's

(21:17):
that's something that's so uncommon for bloodsisters to also be soul sisters and understand
their purpose in life and us helpingeach other along the way. And I
just, you know, felt thatshe will be a part of this well
what she will, but it'll bein a whole nother season of it.
You know. You came. Andthen after that conversation, because I went

(21:42):
googling you, I did that andI said in I started to second guess
myself because I like, oh,did I get too far? What that
conversation is going to look like?How are we going to be on air?
You know, how are we goingto do that? And something said,
girl, if you don't shut yourass up, but go sit down
over there, because this is whatyou asked for. Hmmm, what you

(22:06):
asked for. This is just dowhat you've been doing, and everything go
fall in place. Everything you wantto fall in place. And that was
what I'm telling you. It kindof just but the very first show,
it was just like, damn yeah, And it's amazing that if I didn't

(22:33):
do my own reps and my ownwork and my nonprofit and the streaming and
learning how to do all this,I would have had no understanding of like
how to present myself. And soI was preparing myself for things that I
didn't even know I was ready for. H And that was and that was

(22:53):
like the aha moment where it's likeI get who I am online, offline
and in between. I understood andit didn't matter which medium it was because
I learned myself through it all andI did it all alone. And so
to share all that with you ithas been such a gift because normally I

(23:18):
have to come in and teach everything. No, I just got to be
with you because we were on thesame frequency. So I feel so in
tune with you. Yeah, Ifeel so in tune with you. Yeah.
Same here, say truly same here, I like, I was thinking

(23:38):
of you in the fact is thatI hope I don't ruin his career.
If that's the reason why my careeris, I hope I hope it does
ruin my career because the truth isthat I believe in this so much that
I'm going down with the ship ifI jump, if I jump off that

(24:03):
look, if that's the reason,I was like, because once I believe
in something, I go through itall the way. I don't. I
don't jump my ship even if I'mwrong. Mm hmmm, I go all
the way. And I was,I was, I was thinking and and
something can say no, like stoplike and this is what I've learned.

(24:25):
You have to see, you haveto show up the way that you are
supposed to be. Now nobody elseis because I don't think you of who
do are with regardless some people don'tcoming with you and grow and some people
are not. And you have tobe okay with that. You have to
be okay with that. And sothe same words and everything that you speak

(24:48):
every day Monday through Friday, youcome on here, and you speak these
words. You have to live thesewords. You have to live these words.
You have to remind yourself of thesewords. You gotta go. You
remind me all the time of mywords. I'm like, I'm like,
don't tell me what I said.Tell me something that you said. I
get so mad you tell me what. I am like, I know what
I said. What did you say? I only hear your words. I'm

(25:10):
telling me my words. It's somad. But we are wisdom, but
we do for some reason, Idon't know. And that's just like,
and I hate doing this, butI'm going to go overhead and do this.
That's like because as a kid,I used to sit and watch my
mom. Now I like things inthe Bible high like scriptures in the Bible.
They taking notes or whatever like this, and the preacher be preaching,

(25:33):
and they don't think. Whatever thepreacher said, it does not it ain't
about them. It's not about them. When I don't like this shit just
happened. Let's week, but itdoesn't happen. That's you know, not
in And I knew that this righthere, I knew that, No,
this is this is what we gothrough on a daily These are questions that

(26:00):
we have for ourselves on a dailyThese are questions that we have for other
people that don't know how to answerit or won't answer it because they are
afraid of looking at themselves for whothey are. And a lot of times
we are not who we think weare because we know, you know what
I'm saying, we have the word. We haven't peeled the layers back on

(26:26):
who we are, you know,period, And that is what this is
about. So even though like thisthis year, the first season, it
was taking it down and taking eachword, how next season gonna go?
I don't know. I'm going touse this summer to allow it to elevate
to whatever it's going to be,so I can go strut up another pop,

(26:51):
start putting it in there and cookingit up. You know. So
I don't know exactly what it isgoing to be, but I know it's
going to be about love. That'swhat I do know. Because the thing
is is that this right here,you us me mm hmm. This is

(27:12):
a forever healing process. Yes,this is our lifestyle, and this is
the pact that we've chosen. Yes. Yeah, And so that means in
conversations, yes, we have tolearn how to have conversations with people with
others. We do, we do, we do, And I think that

(27:36):
golden rule of self awareness comes emotionalresponsibility. That's my golden rule. And
the self awareness that we've come toand the self awareness that we've grown together
with has created another level of responsibilitywhere you're at the point where you're like,
I need to take a break andI'm going to reset, remove every
saturation, embrace truth, our aS E. T. And you're going

(27:59):
to re invest and empower again thepower of pausing. Right, you hit
your plateau and now it's time topush right, So enjoy this plateau and
enjoy the space and the learning andthe certifications and whatever you need to do,
and then get ready for your pushagain. This is the process.

(28:22):
A lot of people just think,oh, I'm platau. That's bad.
Like no, no, no,You're supposed to explore and grow and develop
and invest in your plateau phase andthen you push again because then you have
a direction and a goal that's guidedby your preparation and your readiness. And
that's so beautiful to know that you'reresetting in this moment to launch again.

(28:42):
Yeah, that's you don't hear thatfrom people. All you see is people
go go, go, go go, and never recharge. You never see
that part. You never get tosee that part. Yeah, So that's
amazing that you're authentic in that way. Yeah, you know, I have
to because I was at go Go, Go, Go, Go, Go,
Go, go go. It wasa time where I thought that I

(29:03):
had to hurry up and get it, like go go go the hustler mentality
of me. You know, I'msubsided Stow, Chicago. You know that
was the thing Runner basketball player boomboom boom number one. You know this,
this, this, this this,and it had like, m you
gotta slow it down, slow itdown, be in the moment, appreciate

(29:26):
it now. Appreciate these moments now. So even though remember I told y'all
on Tuesday about finding a positivity throughchaos. That's what I mean by appreciating
moment right now. Appreciation is agreat way to break through. Yes,

(29:47):
So even though I went through thatlittle chaos with that little lady next we
you know she come outside the backdoor. She want a step to lick
you up and down by change yourfaces, not even who just walked in
my house. Yeah, you knowwith that it allowed me to see her
in a different light. It allowedme to see another part of her without

(30:12):
that mask on. That's something abouta lot here about taking that mask off
and removing that mask. You know. It's so funny because I had wanted
to at, you know, hope, like that time break for Mother's Day,
my sister brought me this, thiskind of statue. It is a

(30:32):
gold It's kind of like a statuewith some hand holding a mask. Mmm.
And I said, oh, that'sgoing back in my studio. She
said, I knew you would lovethis, she said, because you're always
talking about taking that mask off,removing that mask, and it looked and
I'm gonna get it when when wetake our first break, I'm gonna get
it and show it. But thatis a part of a symbol just of

(30:56):
my life because I know I wastaught to put that mask school, wow
mask you know, as we allare, you know, but times take
a mask and be you, bewho you are and appreciate who that person
is, whether you got biggest eyes, a big nose, you know what
I'm saying, Sell your stomach orwhatever it is. Embrace all of that

(31:22):
right, be healthy with it.That's my thing. Be healthy with it
and love it. And it tookme a long time from there. It
took me a long time to getthere, to understand what all of this
is and to appreciate it all periods. Appreciate it. I love how you

(31:45):
you know, you're the way youto appreciate it's understanding the abundance of your
journey. Yes, and that's somethingthat is irreplaceable. Ye is understanding after
everything upstowns mid's high as levels.It's the appreciat of the just the awareness

(32:07):
of that bound like that. It'sso bountiful. And I think we don't
get time to acknowledge that because wethink we have to just move on and
put the mask on and move on. M No, No, you can
sit in this. You can sitin your appreciation. A lot of us
are taught taught to just move onfrom our appreciation. Now sitting in that.

(32:29):
I graduated last year. You know, I'm still sitting in my I'
still wear my cap and gown andi still wear my stuff. That's a
lifestyle for me. I'm gonna livein my appreciation. I'm not I'm not
moving on from that. I'm sittingin that because that's a reminder of everything
I've invested in in my life.You will not take that away from me.

(32:50):
And what you overcomes because I didn'tknow that you had dyslexic and you
you went through That's that's an amazingfeat and it's out, you know what
I'm saying. And for you toeven share it on this platform with people
that I've never told anybody about,they could potentially be your clients. You

(33:12):
just don't know how many people thatyou are going to resonate more with,
like oh my god, like thisthis They can understand me. Not that
I'm just paying him the money justto tell me some stuff that's out of
a book, but this person actuallyexperienced that. So how he's gonna tell
me how he overcame it, youknow what I'm saying, How he's getting

(33:34):
through it, because you're still gettingthrough it even at this moment right now.
It ain't like it just stopped youjust now you don't how to manage
it in a more exactly efficient waythat now you can look at it and
more positive. So you look atchaos, you saw the positive of it.
Now you can actually share that witheveryone and showed them through you know,

(33:58):
the program that you started and thatyou created. You know what I'm
saying, and that now you're sittingon a platform with someone listen to this.
You're sitting on a platform that someonethey've already counted that person out,
but you see something totally different inthat, in that the message, in
the purpose is bigger than the person. Right. Who love to sit and

(34:22):
sit with people like that, whocan look at it and look beyond who
they are. So we're not lookingat them as person. We're looking at
them as a spiritual soul being,and we're speaking to their soul as because
that is where their love is.That is love. And I'm so glad
you talked about soul because we don't, especially in mental health, we don't

(34:45):
talk about soul much, right,But in my in my in my philosophy
of healing, soul is our spiritualhealth, right. It's the ability to
make meaning out of the things thatyou deal with humanistically. And so if
I can't find appreciation, how canI find soul? Oh is a navigator

(35:10):
in appreciation. Yeah, it's wovenbetween all of that. And so it's
beautiful to see your soul bloom andblossom and to see you peacock, your
own soul. There's so many colorsthat come from you because you are willing

(35:30):
to walk the light that you live. And not everybody is willing and capable,
but they might be after listening toyou, and so you're giving them
the chance to choose. And that'ssomething that is truly a divine gift,
is helping people with the power tochoose again and then they can learn what

(35:52):
appreciation means because they've lived it.It's beautiful. I'm not going to cry
on here, you know that.Right on the back of my head crying.
I just I'm sitting in front.So that's why I'm turning my head
like, grab my hair real quick, my hair with no but you know

(36:15):
what, listeners, it's a beautifulthing. You know. Actually, I
just actually doctor wal just guided meon off of the script because I'm not
even on script. And he didthis on purpose. I know he did
this on purpose. I just wantedto make sure that you saw yourself for
a second, because the truth isis that you know, you don't get
to see yourself because you love whatyou do, and because people that love

(36:36):
what they do never get time tosit and see what they love because they're
just doing what they love and Iam someone that does that. And I'm
seeing your moment and this is yourmoment, and everyone that's listening to this
is witnessing your moment. And Ijust want to make sure you're really sitting

(36:57):
in your appreciation because we're listening toyou right now. Yeah I am.
It's just that that humbleness of me. I am. You know I am.
What you say, well, stop, you know, just just just
sitting that because you're just Yes,I could do a guided meditation, Yes,

(37:22):
I can bring the definitions and Ican do all these things, but
can we just actually sit in theenergy of this appreciation. It's contagious,
it's needed. We need you,Naomi. Thank you, We need you.
I needed you. You're welcome.You're welcome. Yeah. I'm not

(37:45):
gonna cry on here, I promiseyou. I am crying right now so
you can. I'll take it foryou then because I can cry because I
was not trying to get back inthe podcasting after all this. I wasn't
trying to do nothing like that becauseI was burned out. I was tired.
I just wanted to reset and getto know who I am again.
And this you carried me through alot of unwillingness that I had to restart

(38:13):
things, and you taught me thegrace needed to start over. And so
I appreciate your friendship. I appreciateyour care, I appreciate your consideration.
I appreciate your openness. I appreciateyou letting me understand your home. You
let me into your home, andyou didn't have to do that. It

(38:36):
could have been a record goodbye,and you let me into your home,
and that's your heart. And somy appreciation is I'm going to honor my
appreciation of you by starting mine overand making it as quality and carefully thought

(38:58):
of and organic, sound and pureas what you have done for so long.
You have fought for your life andyou have made it, and you
can stand on these platforms and youcan speak amongst me anybody, and you

(39:19):
should never question that ever again.In your life. You don't have to
do anything else but live. Justlive. You've done the work. You
have to live it now, soyou can't prepare any more than you are.
You just have to be ready,So preparing no more. That.

(39:40):
Yeah, So well, I thankyou. I do, I do.
I thank you. I thank youfor talking into me, I thank you
for trusting me. I appreciate youfor trusting me. I appreciate you for

(40:01):
allowing me to guide you in moments. I appreciate you for guiding me in
moments. I appreciate you for sharingyour heart with me. In our listeners,
you know, and I'm gonna say, I appreciate my listeners. There's

(40:25):
basis that I have not and Idon't know there is one, and I'm
gonna I can't even pronounce his name. Every day is I love you,
it's p I N t U.I think that's his name or her name.
I don't even know if it's hereshe It doesn't make a difference.
But every day that I post up, they say I love you, and

(40:45):
I said, I send love rightback. And note that there is this
love is all for every single oneof you. All there is. I'm
on in. They give you,know, some empowering words, you know,
through that or even through emails,and I thank you for it.

(41:06):
One guy said he I heard ita few weeks ago, was like a
month ago, a few months ago, and he had been catching up and
wrote this real long letter. Andthen when I knew he's a therapist himself,
mmm, you know, and thatmade me like, oh girl,

(41:28):
what you're doing? You know?So it shocks me because you know,
that's this is where I was supposedto be anywhere. We see you,
and that's what I'm saying, wesee you. When when I read your
thing, I was like, ohthis is I I see you. I

(41:49):
see you as a colleague. Hm, I can respect you as a colleague.
I feel you as a friend,and I see you as a soul
and I think you I just youyou know it, you know it because
you do it. Saying about thinkingit and studying it like you know you

(42:14):
know it because you do it.And that is something that my degree will
not ever tell me how to dothat. You have to live that and
apply it. And you are doingthe work and I can see you on
that level and you are at thatlevel. That's not evenna question. So
so it's and so that's why I'mso happy that the other therapists saw too,

(42:36):
because I have some colleagues that needto watch this for themselves and a
lot of therapists need therapists. Sothis is a great advent to that.
Yeah. Yeah, and you know, I know, I know you know,

(42:58):
I say, your girl the Goddess. And when I say the Goddess,
I really mean the Goddess because Iunderstand exactly who I am. God
has always been in me through mefrom the very first. That was the
very first tattoo that I put onmy back, God in Spirit on my

(43:20):
back that tramp stamp right there.Fast forward ten years later, I am
on somebody screen when the people lookingat the tramp stamp, and I am
a part of that tramp that's inthat stamp. You understand what I'm saying.
So when you that and I'm like, what is that on her back?

(43:40):
I mean God in Spirit? Sono matter how you see me in
that way, know that God isalways in me. Mm hmm. It
is always in me. I've alwaysbeen divinely guided, always been divided always
it's it's never been gone. Andwhat I'm doing right now is I'm forgiving

(44:08):
myself for allowing others to deter mefrom who I knew who I was,
And that is one of the reasonsof why the Season of self love came.
Because I want people to know whoyou are. So can't nobody ever
else tell you who you are?So can nobody else write your story for

(44:31):
you? Those other people. Thereare just characters in your book. That's
it. They might not even makeit to the next chapter, and it's
up to them on how they're goingto show up in your book. That's
the power that each one of ushave with our own lives. But that's

(44:52):
what we have to go deep andunderstand who we are, but not only
understand who we are, but appreciateit. There was a conversation that I
have with one of my cousins.I call him my twin. I called
him my twin and I hadn't spokento him in a while. We always,
you know, call him check upon each other. Our birthdays are

(45:13):
two days apart. I'm days twodays older than him, so I'm number
one, he's number two. Branch, I'm number one. Yeah. The
running joke that we have we've beenhaving very since we were little. And
I am so proud of him inhis growth of what he has done thus
far. You know, he's fiftyone years old, just like me,

(45:36):
and he has lived life. Lifehas given him some shit, but he's
overcoming those things. And he hasshared something with me, and he was
saying how one of his baby mama'sex wife and she was saying all of
these things about him and such andsuch, and I can't believe that she
said this to my daughter and childand whatever. And I asked him,

(45:58):
I said, but but aren't youall of those wasn't you here then you
go to jail. When you're inprison, then you did it. Didn't
do that? Mm hmm he said, yeah, but but what Yes,
I did do that, not givingyou no excuse, but Ship, I
didn't even know who the hell Iwas. I was still trying to find

(46:22):
why I was abandoned. I wasstill trying to find something and do that.
I was doing something Ship that Iwasn't even right. So I apologize
and I'm sorry. M hm.You understand what I'm saying. So you
have to take that hour away becausepeople would look like they say, Naoman,

(46:42):
you were how you were sweat youyou did this, you did that,
you did this. Yeah, Ididn't do that on firm. I
sure did, and I did verywell in doing that. I got awards,
I got trophies, I got allof that. Okay, and well,
okay, I did the same thingthat you do in your bedroom.

(47:05):
You probably watch good pointers anyway,you understand, So okay, now,
take that now, Okay, whatyou don't just I don't deserve what?
What? What do I not deserve? Tell me why I don't deserve that
you think you deserve? Right?Why do you deserve it more? Because
you're doing the same thing I'm doing. I'm just doing it ONFM mm hmm.

(47:32):
Or are you just envious that Iactually did what I did? Right?
But you know what, I don'teven go there. My thing is
that what's your trigger? Right thatyou come from me with negativity instead of
looking at Oh wow, she gotthrough that. That's amazing and she's healing

(47:54):
from whatever. I don't have thesame story you did everybody else. I
since sexually assaulted abuse. I wasn't. That's not my story. M hmm.
That's what makes it unique to anybody. Yes, I've been married before,
you know, like, yes Ihave like people like damn like you
like you ain't you actually got awhole life? Yeah? I had a

(48:16):
whole life. Yes, yes Idid. Your daddy should be ashamed of
you? Well he wasn't. Hewasn't and neither is my mother a shame
of me for what? Because theyunderstood why I did it? Mm hmm.
They knew where my heart was.But not only that, but I

(48:39):
learned how to be my own sexualbeing. I know I understood now what
all of this is entirely, notonly in my spiritually, but I'm sexually.
That's how each one of us Imade up. But I got to
learn firsthand not only for myself,but also how I interact with others,

(49:01):
both positive and negative. Yeah.Period, I was in the music industry.
I see more shit in the musicindustry than I did in the porn
industry. Can I keep so?My thing is that there is nothing that

(49:22):
you can say to me. Igot people now that create these different things
with me doing. I don't watchporn, Honestly, I never did.
I would edit it, but Inever did. No, I don't want
to see that because that ain't whatI watched. You send me some mispatted
show or so. I will watchit, But why send me that?

(49:43):
Why are you sending me that?You don't have another conversation for me?
Then I'm gonna block you, becausethere is other conversations that you can have
for me. Then to send mevideo. I don't want you to forget.
I don't forget. If you followme, you will know that I
I don't forget any chapters in mylife. Nor do you deny anything of

(50:04):
yourself either. No, if youreally, if you really took time to
actually listen. No, you wantthe image, right, I'm not ashamed
of that. But what you're notgonna do. You're not gonna put me
in the box because you haven't grown, You ain't here. And see,

(50:25):
the thing is, you can stillbe true to like that, you can
still be turned on like that andstill live your life. But you're still
there. For what reason? I'mnot right? Do people say? Are
you still saying? Yes? Iam actually right now? It's probably my
most horneous It's stupid, It's stupidas how just yes, but I choose

(50:54):
not to show it no more inaspect of it. M hmm. Period.
But guess what ownership. Yeah,I appreciate those that I was there.
I met some beautiful people when Iwas there in that industry. Every
part of my life, I doappreciate this right here, this new book,

(51:20):
this new book is so amazing.This first chapter of this first book
has been amazing, zine and Icontinue to go to the next chapter and
start. You know, man,when you can talk about going into that
next book. When you're using thelessons from that first book here, I

(51:45):
feel like it's a whole new bookhappening. Many people wish I could write
their names back in this new book, and I'm like, I don't know
it's worth the ink. I don'tknow what it's worth the ink. No,
No, I have said it.On last week's show. On That's
the Show, I had Ms MarcyScott on there and she was going by

(52:07):
the name of Kitten was her namein the industry. And I got on
and we talked in amazing transformation thatshe had, and I loved that she
was able to own all of herAnd I just remember in that conversation that
we had about owning who she was. She went through it too. She

(52:30):
went through being shamed on some thingsand certain things, but she was able
to grab it and just walk init. And that is why I created
Asksnaomic about bridging the gaps. Butthen before bridging gap, it has grown
its own legs. So it's doingits own thing. I have publicists coming

(52:54):
to me to have their clients on, you know, on my show,
from different backgrounds. But the crazyis that even in the adult industry tomorrow,
matter of fact, tomorrow. Well, no, last week, a
few weeks ago. He was aneuroscience. Matter of fact, he just

(53:20):
quit his job. Oh wow,Yes, but he's been in the industry
for three four years, winning awardsand everything. Wow. Then another young
lady, it's Lea Moon, it'sher name, yesterday m also a neurologist,

(53:45):
turned only flats in Florencer. Youunderstand therapists that came on, but
just people, just actually a ladythat's a minister wants to come on.
Wow. Because of realizing how importantit is to be human. They learning

(54:07):
how important it is, how they'velost, they've wanted so much that they
realized that their humanity was the thingthat you actually provide. You provide a
space for humanity to exist. Andthat's what we all wanted as human beings.
We just wanted to belong. That'sit. We've always just wanted to
belong, and people have made ithard to simply belong. And you've created

(54:31):
this plate, a space in aplatform for people to belong because you couldn't
find your place, so you madeyour space. If I can't ask for
it, I'm gonna make it.I'm gonna make it. I don't think
I ever really said at anyone's table. I really don't. I really,

(54:53):
I really don't believe that I saidit. I believe that I've always been
creating my own m hm. BecauseI didn't see anyone that was like me.
I didn't want to follow behind,so I didn't. I just was
always was. I embraced my littlechocolate self. I embraced all that I

(55:15):
was, skinny, I embraced itall and and just loving on me.
Did I have times that I wasinsecure? Hell yeah, hell yeah I
did. But I never wanted tosit at someone else's table. Never.
I've always wanted to create my own. Actually, I wanted to create my

(55:37):
own with others. So let's createour own together. Yeah yeah, that's
how That's how I am. I'malways you know, Yeah, I was
one of my own village. Iwanted was my village. Always wanted my
own community. Yeah yeah. Andso you know what, thank you,

(59:45):
are at our hour, we areat our point, and uh, this
has this has truly been amazing.It has and I will be sitting with
this feeling throughout the remainder of thesummer. The summer has just started for

(01:00:06):
me. You know, I'm I'mswim suiting suiting it every day as well
as probably grilling every other day.Yeah, hey man, I want to
get to my grilling game up.I'm so excited to get my grilling game
up. Yeah, I died thatman. Try I yet. Day before
yesterday I did a salmon on acedar plank. That was the last.

(01:00:30):
I just bought a big piece ofsalmon too, and I was thinking,
what I'm going to do with it? Yeah, go get a wood a
piece of wood plank. I thinkthey saw it at Walmart. I don't
know if you have a smith's there. Yeah. Yeah, hour sins or
whatever that you have, and they'relike seven dollars, like like seven dollars.
You get two up, you know, and then you soak it for

(01:00:51):
an hour before you put it ona grill. I'm soaking for out season
it up the way that you want. I was able to use the fresh
rosemary from my garden and see that'sthat's a new thing that I've gotten into
his garden. And it's I wantto get in the garden. I want

(01:01:12):
to get into it so bad.Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know,
I love it. In the beginning, I was, I was afraid
of it. I was truly afraidof it because I did not have the
green the green thumb like my grandmotherhad, like several different plants in my
house. Has already died, andI was like, that's a big And

(01:01:34):
you know, even when I startedit last year, I had started a
little bit. I had a fewherbs, lavender and rosemary. Then I
had a rose tree and I hadsome other in the rosetree die, Like
a lot of stuff was done.You know, I'm right in the middle
of the desert, excuse me.And so that was you know, kind
of geting. Oh and then Ihad grass back there as well, like

(01:01:55):
nice little grass, because it's allwhat started for me to I started it
for grounding so I can sit therein the moment ground that I was doing
my writing. And that's when Istarted to write my book, and I
felt like that's something that I cando. And then it's and then having
that connection with my grandmother because that'ssomething that she did, was you know

(01:02:15):
gard. Yeah, And so whenmy mom got diagnosed, and I knew
that is we have to go toa more healthy lifestyle, more healthy living.
And I know a lot of thefruits and vegetables that we get from
the stores, they have a lotof chemicals in it, you know,

(01:02:37):
And it's something for her and Ihave been talking about for a while.
And so I figured that this willbe one a motivation for her to get
up outcome out of the room todo with me, you know, because
this is something other did. Boy, please, she's just she's just she's

(01:02:58):
just getting the lawing and yeah,to get. But you know I was
able to do. I got mint. I was able to put mint into
my water. Men. What it'scalled stava, Steve, I think it's
st Yeah, I got that.It tastes so good, it's sweet.
You taste it. Yeah. Yeah, It's just like everything is just growing,

(01:03:21):
tomatoes and all of that, andit's all coming. It's allowing me
to be patient. It's showing mepatient. It's showing me how everything is
blossoming and coming to from the seasthat I I've grown that I see,
you know what I'm saying. Theseeding on the other side, it's that

(01:03:43):
rosemary planet is just wild. It'sjust grown. Just so I started creating
some rosemary oil here, oh yeah, little bottles and stuff like that.
And so it's been a it's beenan amazing experience there with it, you

(01:04:04):
know, with growing and seeing thingsstart from here and there. And of
course I had some help from youknow, some very dear people that has
been very loyal to me from thebeginning that I met in there. You
know. Now that's still servings ofMind and it has been great, just

(01:04:24):
this whole ride, and I've beenable to use it even with speaking on
here, talking on here as youknow, antiposal things and situations like that.
So this journey, like you said, this book right here, I'm
telling you this second book, Yeah, it is. It is truly amazing.

(01:04:46):
So yeah, mm hmm. Ithink I think this is really this
is this era. It's truly youdominating with self love can be, is
and will be for everybody else.That's a part of this witnessing. You're
truly creating the secondary healing wave.Mmm mmmmmmm wow m hm hm. As

(01:05:21):
you see that, I'm thinking ofdifferent people saying things to me, just
confirming a lot of things. Yeah, it's you know, yeah, I
would love to see. It wastwo particular actually all three of them,

(01:05:44):
call of my three wives, peoplethat I met, Two of them before
I got into the industry and oneof them while I was in the industry.
When they were wow wow wow,Yeah, they were. I don't

(01:06:06):
want to call them fortune tellers.I don't. I don't I don't even
know what they were calling themselves atthe time. One was a medium.
I remember him being a medium tosafety. And the first of one,
I don't know what you call him. I don't even know what. I
don't even know what she would callbut I don't want to say a media
or fortune teller or whatever. Yeah. And then this last lady that I

(01:06:27):
saw, I was on set allweek with her, and she told me
that everything is going to be allright, just keep following your course.
It's going to be amazing. Mm be amazing. She said, don't
look over there because you think thatgrass is green old. On the other
side, it's not. And thenas I'm looking at everything that's happening right
now in the music industry, whenI'm looking at everything that happened in the

(01:06:49):
modeling industry, when I look ateverything that happened, and I was right
there one of those spaces like justmissing everything. Boom boom, boom boom.
And it's a conversation. And youknow, me and my sister always
say to each other, we waslike, we wasn't meant to stay there.
We weren't meant to stay there.We weren't meant to stay there and

(01:07:15):
I see it now. I seea little peace and appreciation in that.
Yes, yes, yes, mmhmm, man, I see it now,

(01:11:30):
First, Yes, and so Iam. I I am truly again,

on then, Okay, I'm gonnaanswer right here. Mm hmmm. And
looking at this month, you've hadto make choices, have to challenge you,

(01:13:05):
change you, or culture you.My question for you is very simple.
What are you willing to learn aboutyourself? What are you willing to

(01:13:27):
educate about yourself? And what areyou willing to let go of about yourself?
What's the first one? Again?Learn educate, let go learn,
educate, let go all right.What I learned about myself is it's okay

(01:14:06):
to be safe with myself. Mmhmmm. It's okay to be safe with
myself with who I am. WhatI educate about myself hmm. That it's

(01:14:41):
okay to live in it now,that I don't have to look back and
I don't have to look forward,that it's okay to live in it now.
And I'm getting ready to say it, that it's safe to live in
the now mm hmmm, I connectedit for a reason like this and bring
it home. And what's the lastone? Again? Let go, let

(01:15:04):
go, you know what, Letgo of fear. Let fear. I've
been holding on to fear for solong that it showed up in so many
different ways, camouflaged in so differentways. And when I let go of

(01:15:28):
that fear, I let go somany different things. I let go of
the mask, I let go securities, I let go of the lies that
I tell myself. I let goof the self doubt. Oh, so
many things that fear let goes tolie. So remember last week when I

(01:15:53):
put on that safety belt and Isaid, I felt like I put on
that safety belt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got that safety belt
on. And that means that Iam so safe. This is probably the
safest that I ever ever felt.And what I mean that allowing myself to
be safe, That means allowing myselfto be raw and authentic and knowledge and

(01:16:21):
appreciate everything about my tears, Appreciatethe hurt, I appreciate the love.
I appreciate even just receiving words ofgreatness to me, you know, understanding

(01:16:42):
what all that means for me?Yeah, I love that yeah. I
think with all those three you're goingto have to reach in. First,
you're going to have to reach out, and then you're gonna have to tie.

(01:17:05):
So when you let go of isalso the thing you tie and untied
at the same time. It's justbeautiful. H mm hmm. That's a
very processing Yeah, yeah, thatwas a great answer. Well you're welcome,
