up. You really pick that up. That was a pickup. That was
nice. That was really nice.Well thank you. Well, you guys
know how we always start this off. We always started this off with a
nice guided meditation that helps center us. And you know how we do it.

(06:21):
You know, doctor willis here,so I have to let him go
first. I have to let yougo first because you know, for the
last two weeks and then we're doingtwo and so I want you to begin
and and I come in towards theend for the at the end of the
show. All right, So ifyou can guide us and help center us,
yeah, it'd be great. Okay, So as always, please relax

(06:44):
your body, yourself to sit back, allow yourself just focus on your breath.
Focus and with your nose out withyour mouth, allow yourself to just
listen to the way you breathe andwith your nose out with your mouth.
I invite you to let your breathbecome expansive when you breathe in, feel

(07:12):
the space open when you breathe out, see it expand, just all the
space around you becoming more and more. I want you to imagine yourself walking
down a road. Just feel it. It feels like to just walk down

(07:38):
that road. As you're focusing onyour breathing, the road begins to split.
One side goes left, one sidegoes right. You end up in
the middle, and you have tomake a choice. Take a deep breath

(08:05):
in with your nose out with yourmouth. Choose the side that you feel
most confident in. As you walkdown that side, I want you to
be reminded of all the positive thingsabout you. The way you may look

(08:28):
feel, the way that you dogood things, the way you're skillful at
different things, the successes that you'vehad, the good people in your life.
As you go down that path,it starts to curve like a circle,

(08:54):
back to where you started. Andnow you're walking on the weaker What
do you notice as you walk throughthe weaker side? You're back up where

(09:16):
the two roads split. Take adeep breath in with your nose, out
with your mouth. Imagine yourself pushingboth of these roads together, creating one
road again, just one path.Take a deep breath in with your nose,

(09:41):
out with your mouth. Continue towalk forward with both of those streets,
those paths connected together, walking onone path. What do you notice
about your thoughts? What do younotice about the way you feel? And

(10:09):
as you finish, look back andsee them. There was no left side
or right side. It's always beenwith anything. And as you slowly come

(10:30):
back, you reminded that you havealways been the choice in any direction you
go. Thank you, Thank you. All right, So, if you

(10:58):
are new here to the Season andStuff Love Podcasts, this is something that
we do every day Monday through Fridayhere to where we help center ourselves and
prepare us for today's topic. Allright, so let me say this,
So as you begun. As yousaid, I was standing there and you
were saying about the road, andI envisioned myself standing at that road and
at that crossford, and let metell you what my mind said, Why

(11:22):
I gotta choose, Why I justcan't continue to keep going, because that's
what I was saying to myself.I would saying to myself, but I
said, I'm gonna go around,but I know that I am supposed to
just keep on going because it's allabout understanding. It's all about understanding those

(11:43):
two rods, those two different roadscould actually become one road to where you
know that that line, you knowthat line is you are walking down that
line, and you're just balancing bothof those as both of them work with
each other. Yes, yes,they work with each other to create that
balance. The harmony that we talkedabout yesterday, that understanding that we're going

(12:07):
to talk about today and just walkingdown that road and understanding that it's one.
It's about the appreciation of life andwhat you've been going to girls,
shut your mouth. There you go. I love it because because I was,
I was thinking about how important thatis and the way you talk about
harmony, we don't recognize you thinkabout harmony, always want to commonize with

(12:30):
other people other things. Even inmusic, you have to harmonize with another
instrument, right, And so foryou to talk about that so openly,
it's beautiful that you can find harmonywithin yourself first before you even connect with
somebody else. Yeah, you don'tdo that enough. Yeah, and you
have a man you have to it. It shows you so many different things.

(12:54):
You know, it will show youow to you know how you always
say, it's not about how,It's not about the reaction, you know.
It's about how we react, youknow, to things, And a
lot of times when we sit andwe harmonize with ourselves and meaning to this.
And I talked about that yesterday.About grounding, about grounding a lot
of things that I do in mybackyard. Last year, I actually built

(13:20):
an area where I can go groundbecause I used to go to the park
all the time and I really couldn'tdo it like I needed to because it
was so many different energies and entitiesthat was there, you know. So
I had to create my own littlepatch of grass that I would sit and
do my grounding at like that.And I have my waterfall from the pool

(13:43):
the birds, the music, youknow, and the sun coming out.
I saw. It's like I hadall the elements right there working with me
to harmonize you know, everything andjust keep me, have me in the
moment there. You know, alot of times we don't sit still enough
to be able to appreciate and hear, you know, and hear how our
body is reacting to different things andallowing our body to just flow and harmonize

(14:09):
with all of those energy, youknow what I'm saying. Yes, And
so once you know, understand thatand you're doing your work for me,
it allowed me to open up more, to be ready to receive more,
you know, to be very consciousof who I am and self awareness,
you know what I'm saying, butalso be more empathetic to others, you

(14:31):
know, be more listening, andalso not always look to be right.
And actually it's not about being right. It's about to understand, to be
understood, and to understand others sowe can respect perspective because we all think
that we don't all don't think thesame, you know what I mean.

(14:52):
So yeah, I love that.Yeah, And I think I think that
that uniqueness is what makes us actuallycome to together if we were all the
same, we would actually never makeanything happen in life. Mhmm. You
need to stand out, You needto stand out. Yeah, wow,
that's beautiful. Yeah yeah, Iwrite my beautiful people. So understanding,

(15:18):
As I said, understanding is morethan just hearing words. Is about connecting
feeling. It's about truly grasping theemotions behind those words, and it's very
essential in all of our relationships,including the ones with ourselves. All right,
So I'm a sharester. I remembera time when there was a really

(15:39):
big misunderstanding that led to a needlessconflict. Could have been could have been
avoided. Yeah, with some understandingpatience, right, all right. So
I talked to this with you aboutthis a while go, but I'm gonna

(16:00):
share this with the audience. Idon't remember if I shoated to the audience
I had. I met this beautifulyoung lady, and I thought we would
be a great fit. A projectcame to me, came to me,
and I brought the project to theyoung lady, invited her to my home.

(16:22):
All of those things, like myintentions were great in the whole thing.
Even though I sat there, therewas a lot of things that was
happening around with me. You knowthat kinds they would hold on. This
might not be for you, butI still need, you know, I
still need to share this with her. In the process of this, it
was a lot of things that washappening on both ends on me understanding and

(16:47):
me looking at different perspectives. AndI remember talking to you about is it
me, Do I need to checkmyself on some things, or maybe I
need to get, you know,another chance, or maybe I'm reading something
wrong or different right. It wascertain things that was put into my mind
from this person about if we arenot aligned, we're not aligned in this

(17:14):
project. So I had said,this is not mine, this is hers,
this is her project, this isnot line, this is not mine.
So I apologize for mis reading itthat it was mine. But this
is yours, baby, and I'mgoing to be here for you to you
know, help you along the way. But in the process of me writing
that beautiful letter to this young lady, she did not understand what I was

(17:41):
giving her in that process, andit wasn't I was giving her that gift.
I was giving her support understanding,I'm here, you're way right,
You're moving her way of her purpose. What she cap. And the thing
is, I knew I had somany things that was going on with me,
going on with me, you know, I have my own stuff going

(18:03):
on as well as I have mymom and her thinking it is getting any
better, it's getting worse. Sonever would I want to hold anybody back
from a gift that they have.So I'm gonna be here to support when
you need me. I'm gonna helpmake some notes, all of those things.
I'm gonna be there. But thatperson misunderstood everything that I said,

(18:23):
and I wish that they would havetook the time out to really just read
it. And I can't say thatthey knew me, because they didn't.
We've only even known each other formaybe a month. You understand what I'm
saying. But I wish that theycould have just really looked and see and
even at a time picked up thephone to where I can speak. Because

(18:44):
what we don't understand is that wordsare powers, words are magic, and
we could I could use the wordas a positive, or we can use
the words that are negative. Andwhat I learned is that what I learned
is that I cannot control the waysomebody might take the words that I say

(19:07):
and I'm gonna ask you this tothat that's hard. Yeah. I used
to always want to be responsible forand make sure that somebody understands what I'm
saying, because I always say,do you understand what I'm saying? And
if you, you know, wishto hear me say? You know,
I say that a lot because Ifeel responsible for the words that come out
of my mouth to make sure thatthat other person truly understands my words as

(19:33):
well as my intentions behind it.And I remember having this discussion with one
of my old call hosts back inthe day and they were like, I
don't care because if I said it, and they they they don't get what
I'm saying, and oh well,and I was like, that's that can't
be that cannot be that. AndI remember even telling my daughters, especially

(19:55):
my middle one, who is verycompatible, she's she's a she is a
beator and she can be truly fuckingwrong as here receives this wrong. And
she would debate that, like,you know, and I remember telling her
are you are you hearing what you'resaying? And I said, you know,
and I said, this is whatI heard you say. And then

(20:18):
she said, that's not what Isaid. I said, Okay, so
what are you saying? And she'llsay it, and then for me,
I'd be like, Okay, we'rejust gonna agree to disagree on this aspect.
But I just want you to bevery aware of what you are saying
to others to be you know whatI was teaching her, and that's one

(20:41):
my next question. What I wasteaching her is that you have to be
responsible for the words that come outof your mouth for whoever you speak and
how they receive it. Now,my question is to you, is that
do we as people, are wereally supposed to be responsible for how someone
receives what we say to them.Hear me out, just just hear me

(21:10):
out. I'm responsible for these wordsI'm about to say, Yes, we
are in it, especially as Americans. We are in a space of free
speech. You can say what youwant to say. You can say however
you want to say, which meansthat people can react the way that they

(21:33):
need to react, which means thatyou should be very responsible for what you
say. Because you understand that youcannot control how someone's going to react,
you should be very responsible for that. If someone calls me out, I
have a choice how grounded am Ito receive something that I may not want

(21:57):
to hear. Yeah, before Ithink something, before I speak out,
I need to make sure am Iresponsible enough to be accountable for what they're
gonna say, because they're gonna reacthow they need to, and I'm gonna
have to. I'm gonna have tobe strong enough to be okay with it,
or if I'm not okay with it, how can I remove myself in

(22:19):
a way that makes me stay safe. So I think the problem, especially
in this generation, is that wefeel like we have so much power to
say what we want that we don'trecognize that people have the right to react
just as much as you're the rightto respond, right, And so I
do believe your words. You shouldbe responsible. And I think we've lost

(22:42):
accountability because of the way that socialmedia comes. Everybody believes that they are
the one and they have the answer, and they are the thing, and
they you know, it's my page, Like I don't I understand my y'all
hating on my page for it,Like this is a public form, so
anybody can say whatever they want onyour page. Well, I'm gonna block
them. Fine, that's fine,I do that. That does not remove

(23:04):
your rightness or your wrongness. Thatjust lets me know that you couldn't handle
that right and you don't have tohandle that if you don't want to.
And so I think I empower peopleto be more responsible for their words because
I'm learning as I'm getting older,I'm starting to say lesson crowds. Normally,
when I'm in talk and talk showsand groups, let's see for men's

(23:25):
groups, I just sit there andI just I just I used to want
to say everything because I'm like,I know a lot of stuff. Let
me talk tell you what I know. Now I don't say anything. I
just I'm just watching and I'm processing. I'm like, I wonder what you
went through to make you say that. I'm just I'm just watching. And
then afterwards I might go up toindividually and be like, hey, when

(23:45):
you said this, you know,and then they're like, oh, I
never thought of that. I neversaid. I'm like, yeah, see
if I never wanted to disrupt anatural flow. And I think emotionly mature
people they learn that their words canmove mountains, and their words can stop
dams or stop stop rivers, right, they can damn rivers, and your

(24:10):
words have the power of life anddeath. When you start learning the power
that of course you want to beresponsible for your words or the lack of
them. Yeah. Yeah, sothat's why that's why I say yes.
But I also say, ah,but I understand what you're saying, because

(24:30):
your thing is that you still haveto be respon, but you still can't
control on how that person receives whateverthat you're saying, whether if you're writing
it in text or you saying itwith voice. First of all, let
me say this, you never knowhow someone is, what's going on with
them on their their side of thephone. Well, ship, we could

(24:52):
be in the same room. Theyhave a total different energy aspect that you
can have and you not even youknow what, Yeah, that actually happened
to me. That that actually happenedto me. I actually have a friend
that I'm gonna tell a story.This is unbelievable, how this is real?
So literally, when they every timethey text me, we always get

(25:14):
into a fight. Every time wetext each other, it gets into a
fight. And I see the fighthappening because I stay in process land.
I'm in processed land. Everything's processed, so I'm really watching the fight happen
and I'm typing the words like thisis about to start more fights, and
I'm like, and I don't evenmean it. I'm not even thinking in

(25:36):
a negative way or mountain or anything. And there, literally I see the
fight about to happen, and thenI can see them all they're being passive
aggressive. Oh they didn't like thatbecause it makes the more accountable. Ooh,
they didn't like the way I saidthat. They want me to just
give them what they want. I'mliterally texting and watching it happen, and

(25:59):
then they get mad and they don'ttalk to me for a day, thinking
that that's going to make me feelaway, But then I'm thinking about it,
so obviously it makes me feel awayif I'm thinking about it while we're
not talking. So then I learned. I was like, let me self
correct. Literally, next time westart texting again, I see it happening
again. We start texting, Isee it going bad and it's going south,
and then I go, I'm acall. So I call and I

(26:22):
go, hey, I just wantwant you to know that when you were
saying that, let me explain.And I explained it to them and there
was no issue. And then nexttime it happened again, I saw it
happened. I called and and Isaid, well, I was gonna type
there's no issue. So what Ilearned was is that they have poor comprehension
skills. They are grammatically not efficientenough, so their literacy is not comprehensible.

(26:47):
So that means that now I haveto call and tell them because every
time I and I am a verytransparent friend, and you know this,
so like, so, so Icalled and I said, hey, we
can't text each other anymore? Likewhy why? I'm like, because every
time we text, you take everythingso personal and then we get into a
fight and then we're not friends anymore. And I got I only got one

(27:10):
more fight in me with you,So we're just texting from now on.
And then you text me, I'llgive you straight binary answers. Yes,
no, I'll find out, giveme this much time. That's it.
And literally we had not had afight since because I realized that my words
people don't translate responsibility and understanding thesame way they should, so I had

(27:37):
to understand how they comprehend and understandtheir literatory and then things so like that
was me being responsible for my words. So and also that was me also
controlling their reaction at the same timetoo, by the way, so by
using transparency. So that was alot. And at that point they text

(28:00):
me today and I was like,mm hmmm, I'm gonna call you.
I'm not going through that, SoI demand understanding at all times because I'm
not don't ruin my piece. Yeah, my piece is a choice, and
I chose to call you to keepmy peace. Yeah, yeah, I'm
I'm a grieved with that. Idon't Oh, look, I'm not I'm

(28:22):
not arguing with anyone. I saidit yesterday. I am not arguing with
anyone no more. If we canhave a discussion and I can't understand you
and you can't understand me respectfully inthat conversation, then there's something that's going
on with this relationship that you knowthat it doesn't need to go any further

(28:48):
than today. I love you.I love you in that season. That
season has passed. You have abeautiful I'm gonna Continue're gonna continue to be
in my prayers. But that conversationthough, You're not gonna have that because
you're not you. And I hateto say this because this is what people
say. And you can tell meif I'm wrong because I look at you

(29:10):
every week. They say that myeyes are very judgmental, that I have
a very judgmental I call them analyticaleyes. Analytical, not judgmenttalized. Yeah,
that's just that face right there,right there. You just did it
just there, so that that wasyour analyzing eyes where you heard a word

(29:32):
you're and you're like, I menna, hear what you're saying. Let me
process it, let me think whatit is. Okay, I can see
how that is. Let me comeback to the conversation. You do that
very quick. You process so fast. That's a gift. People don't process
it. You did three laps andyou're there. They just got their first
lap on and you're you're your mileahead. So yeah, you process very
fast. I can tell with youreyes. Yeah, but I'm not judging.

(29:55):
I'm just I'm trying to. I'mwhat I'm doing and I'm taking try
out. I'm understanding. I'm I'mlistening. I'm actively listening. And maybe
that's what maybe that we don't doactually listening a lot. People are people
aren't used to being people are intentional. You look at people, you're looking
at me right now, you're actuallypaying attention. I'm used to it because
this is what I do for living. But people don't pay attention. People

(30:19):
don't pay I tell you there's aproblem with attention and intention. If you
don't have attention and intentions, youlack understanding. You cannot be that lazy
that you have to have. Youhave to give attention, and you have
to be intentional about your intention attention. So it's like, what are you

(30:41):
doing to show that? And sofor you, you're an active listener,
and so me and you both beingactive listeners, we're on the same page
every single second. And then whenyou go forward and you process, I'm
like, oh, you're processing.I'm watching your process and coming back because
I'm intentionally being with you. Peoplearen't doing that. That's that's a skill.

(31:03):
That's a skill. Now it needsto be a cultural norm for people.
But now we've gotten lazy about itbecause of the way social media has
interacted in our lives. And wecan pause attention, we can pause in
right, we can dissect it.Mm hmm, right, So we don't
actually go with the flow of awarenessanymore. It's not it's not as a

(31:25):
it's an optional. Now you canbe it, can it can be optionally
aware of your own life now,which is crazy think about mm hmm.
That's a whole other topic. Yeah, you know, but tomorrow is our
last show for this season, andwe yes, yes, tomorrow will be

(31:48):
our lasts for and we we wouldhave done one hundred and thirty six episodes.
One hundred and thirty six episodes.I've seen you one hundred and thirty
six times. Well, no,you've probably seen me half of that because
you came in, Okay. Iwas like, I was like, what
is I saw getting the grade beer? Like what you came in in January?

(32:15):
Wow, it's January. February oneof those. It was January.
It was January. No talk inJanuary. You came in in February,
Yeah, February. Yeah, wetalked Januy came in February, came in,
yes, yes, oh four months. Wow. I wonder how many

(32:37):
episodes we've done. That's amazing.I'm curious now. Yeah, it's been
wow. Yeah. Yeah, Andhonestly, it doesn't even feel like it's
a lot, because I think that, especially with this topic, especially with
understanding, there is a level ofunderstanding between us about what we wanted for

(33:00):
ourselves, and we aligned with that, and I think the intentionality and the
attention we put towards that made itfeel effortless. Yeah, it felt so
effortless. It truly did. Yeah. Yeah, it's just and I know
she was she was being so harmless. She was, she was just being

(33:22):
so harmless. One of my girlfriendscame over last week and we had did
this this flower ceremony to where sheplanted, you know, the flower I
got that's my friendship for her andthen I water it every day. And
she was like, well, howis the podcast and stuff going? You
know? She was like, haveyou ever thought about getting you a producer
to come in and produce yourself shows? We wait, This is where my

(33:46):
egos started flying over my head.But it was a big bread So I'm
sitting there and I'm drinking my drinking, I'm silent. I don't say what
I said. Okay, she saidno, she said, have you ever
thought about that somebody coming in andyou know and seeing you know, being
a producer? Oh yes, sure. And I'm still sitting there like in

(34:12):
my mind, I'm about to giveit to you all. I said,
like, miss, what the fuckis you looking at? Like? I
am the producer you know, Iwas like, Hi, I just did
I just I just hired her.Look, you know, and at that
moment, and at that moment,I had to check myself. Check check
check check chickick. I said,check check chick check check yourself. I

(34:36):
said, because everybody does not seeyou the way that you see yourself.
And that is okay. That isnot a shun against you. It is
not. It is not. Sheprobably really don't know what you do.
She probably really don't know what youdo. And then again she probably said,
well, maybe my good girlfriend needssomebody to help her so she can

(35:00):
and be doing something else. Idon't know, but I instantly it instantly
hit my acre like that. Iam a producer. I am the producer.
You know. It's so funny becauseif someone said, how is your
podcast going? It means I don'tknow, do you watch it? That's
why I would have went see beforeyou even I would have been like,
oh, how many episodes have youwatched? Did you watch it? How

(35:21):
do you? Why don't you know? See? That's where I would have
went first. And I'm like,oh, no, it's not like that.
And then that's a producer. I'mlike, why are you think I
need a producer. If you neverwatched my show, see right, you
know you're right. I wasn't goingdown that rabbit hole. That's why you
know if it wasn't. And Iguess I do that. I give people

(35:42):
their outs because I know, Iknow that that chick, that chick is
like and I knew that, andI said, listen, were about to
do this differently because I have tounderstand that other person's perspective. I cannot
assume mm hmm, she knows.I cannot assume that she knows even what

(36:07):
she's saying to me. It mightnot even be about me. It might
be her speaking on her. Youunderstand what I'm saying. She needed a
producer, and she might need toproducing a producer. Because people give me
advice all the time for music becausethey like music. Yeah, and this,
but this, and I'm gonna beand this is no sho. I'm

(36:30):
only taking advice for somebody who i'veseen, as i've seen actively producing or
dumb some stuff. And that's nolie. That is that is that is
no lie. If you ain't starteda business, or you ain't built nothing,
or you ain't I'm not listening.I'm sorry, I'm just I'm not
listening because I've done it all.Some I've done grading. Some I'm still

(36:52):
learning some mm hmm, yeah,yeah that's real. Yeah, but that's
a standard. Yeah, yeah,no I'm not. I know a lot
of people said, well, youknow, you can learn from other people.
I am so willing to learn.I am so I am so ready

(37:12):
to be in rooms where I amnot the smartest person or the most talented
person that I am able to Iam so ready to be in those rooms.
I am so ready to be inthose rooms. I don't think I
don't think you realize how glad I'mto be here. Because before I got
before we did this podcast, Iwas I was watching the I was watching

(37:36):
the live and it was someone thatthere. They have a lot of followers
and they're all they do all thesepositive mental health quotes, and they had
like a therapist on there from theUK, and they were talking about mental
health and toxic families and narcissism andall these things. And I was like

(37:57):
fighting air because the way they werethinking was so old. It was so
like it was so like twenty elevenself help, right, and and I
was finding it because so I startedasking questions in there, and then they
couldn't answer some of the questions,Like some of the questions in there were
just like they didn't really touch them. And I was like, let me

(38:19):
stop, let me stop myself,because at the end of the day,
they're doing something good, they're doingsomething for people need to hear this.
And where I'm at right now,this just isn't my camp. Yeah,
let me go on and get ontothe Naomi Show so I can actually speak
my part. Right that was thatwasn't my platform. And a lot of
times people don't know when it's theirtime and when it's not their time,

(38:44):
and so that inspired me instead ofbeing like this is wrong, like no,
no, this was exactly what itneeds to be for the people that
are watching. I need to bein a space where I know that I'm
supposed to be, you know.And I had to humble myself because it
made me grateful to have a showlike this where I could actually let go

(39:05):
and just really spread the knowledge thatI do. And there might be someone
that's even higher than me that mightbe like, oh man, he needs
to get better, but there theremight be someone that really is ready for
the next step. And this iswhat they needed. So it's like,
I'm not worried about recreating the wheel. I'm worried about making sure that I
know that I am a wheel,strong enough wheel for myself. Yeah.

(39:27):
Right. First of all, letme say you have You've been a great
added addition to this show. Asthe show will continue to go, it
will continue to evolve to whatever it'ssupposed to be, you understand. So
honestly, I had I have sixmonths ahead of what I've already written outlined

(39:50):
for the shows. I probably didmaybe the first two months. The way
that I written it and everything elsehas actually happened organically, authentically, the
way it's supposed to happen, theway it's supposed to. That was one
of my biggest concerns with doing thepodcast was knowing, Okay, well,

(40:16):
I'm not a therapist. You know, I don't have this degree to be
able to do this A, Band C. But I still want to
make sure that everybody gets a balanceof both. You know, they give
my life, you know, mylife lessons the things that I you know,
through in life that I can,but also get it from the point
of from a therapist that has beenthrough you know, school, and have

(40:38):
the lingo or the language to helpyou know, because sometimes I have words
or I'm explaining something, but Idon't know the technical words of it.
I can only give you yeah ofit. But also what I love about
you when you came in, youcame in as a therapist, but also
I wanted to one of the peopleto see realness of you. So it's

(41:02):
not just them laying on your couching. You're telling them what and then you've
given them going through the book andgiving in a book, all right,
you're giving them with you feelings.So there now there's not only a book
wise, but it's also that youcan connect with them on a more human
way to It's not like you're talkingto them, but you're talking with them

(41:23):
and you allowing them to be ableto harmonize with you in that conversation.
Yeah, and I tell people,I never wanted to be a leader ahead
of anybody. I wanted to bea leader with people. And I think
that there's I think a lot ofus want to be the next one,
and that's never been my thing.It's always been I always wanted to be

(41:43):
a part of a movement. Yeah, I could believe in and this is
the one movement I can believe in. And I saw what you were doing
and I was like, oh,I'm joining your movement. The stuff love
movement is it? I'm doing it. And I didn't know. I said
an email out and I was like, well, I pray this works.
And so and so I took ashot in the dark and I was like,
because I realized that what I'm doingis amazing, but it's never going

(42:09):
to be enough to change the world. I need I need more people with
me if I want to change theworld. I need the world. Yeah.
So and So I love I lovethe world that you've created. And
I saw so much alignment, andI think that that's what when you find
that understanding, right, like,when you find that ability to have peace

(42:31):
in the understanding of what someone elseis doing. The only thing is is
I mean asking is how can Ihelp? Yeah, people that really understand,
they just ask how can I help? They're not difficult. They don't
analyze it, they don't break itdown, they don't And you're very transparent,
You're very upfront because the truth isthat if I already understands your position

(42:52):
in my life, I don't haveto question that right, how can I
help? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, and I thank you. And it's
all about understanding. Let me tellyou something. It was somebody who asks
me and I'm trying to remember whoit was because I don't want to put
nothing on them. They said tome, how do you come up with

(43:14):
your topics? I said, it'sreally something that if I'm going through something
through that day and it's something thatI need, then bam, that is
where is going to be for that. You know what I'm saying, Because
if it's something that I know thatI need, I know that it's probably
millions of million people that needed thesame. You understand what I'm saying.

(43:37):
And so in that aspect, Okay, let's start breaking this stuff down.
None of breaking affirmations. We didaffirmations all last month to truly break down
these words that's created into this wholesentence or two or three sentences. They're
supposed to motivate us in the morningor at night before we go to bed.

(43:59):
But what those those words mean alltogether? How do they? Yesterday?
Show how they organize together? Youknow what I mean? How can
we do? And what do theymean? You know? Are you think
those words correctly? Like we talkedabout was it two weeks ago about truly
understanding how to be intentional? Arewe being intentional because of what we learn

(44:22):
from someone else? Or are wetruly being intentional for ourselves or what we
want or need it? You know? And it's not gonna be an overnight
thing, you know, but atleast we are now aware to ask those
questions of ourselves and like, waitnow them, let me go dig that
outside. And look, that's whyI say self love, falling in love

(44:45):
with yourself, understanding of who youare is the first thing that we are.
It needs to be a self lovecourse in the schools. There's so
many courses in the schools we needto learn and self love. H it
should start with the parents first becausehonestly, a lot of times kids are

(45:07):
just products of what parents are leavingbehind in themselves. So true, right,
And I think there's there's so much, there's so many there's so many
great parents that are terrible people becausethey forgot to be themselves. It's like
when I'm being a good dam like, but you're hurting your kid, I'm

(45:29):
there. I give you food,clothes and that's it. Okay, But
did you love your child only.That's not that's not a part of my
job as a parent. Ah okay, yes, Like what where is that
loss that? Where is that lossin the did you what did you go
through to make you think that loveis not a product of your child's development?

(45:49):
Well, you know, what wasI watching? I was watching something.
I was watching something in it wherethe father the care the care to
do one who provides for the homewhile he makes the money put food on
the table. And the mother isthe one who mothers the child. She
take care of the homes, Shedo this and do that, and that's

(46:10):
it. It was taught way backin the day that parenting and love was
not coming from both parents. Youunderstand, it was coming from a survival
type of thing. Well, hego, you go out and get you
know, hunked and bring food back. And that is you know, you

(46:35):
know, and you know, andthe and the woman, the woman,
the mother is there is supposed tobe the nurturer and carrying that. And
that's what they say. But no, you need both parents to be able
to bring a well rounded human beingto this earth because they can't be lacking

(46:57):
the showing of masculinity and femininity allin one. And it's so even though
you're showing them an action or I'mgonna provide, but what about that emotional?
What about that masculine emotion? Youknow, how can we get that?
Yes? How can you show that? How can you show what type
of words to be able to sharewith this young man, this young boy

(47:20):
that wants to become a man,and how to treat another person, whether
they are a woman or a man. What are those words to say that
you need? Because you need something. Everybody needs affection, everybody needs love,
everybody needs that from somewhere. Youcan't just throw it away when you're

(47:42):
hammering something down at a job.So then what that does. It calls
you to become a drunk or ondrugs or whatever whatever else. And then
when you come home, then whathappened? This is where abuse happen because
now you don't want to be therewith that at home, and so you
show up in a totally different waybecause you don't have the tools to understand

(48:02):
that, Oh it's okay for meto want love and let me find out
what it is. When the lasttime you heard her a man say oh
my gosh, I need love outloud, really genuinely just saying that in
high school, right or like regardlessof R and B and music and all
these things like right, you know, I was thinking. I was like,

(48:27):
I nerverous just said that, man, because I knew it. I
remember that. So it's like it'slike we don't even know how do I
Like, men don't even know howto receive the thought of love. Yeah.
Like like like I was at agraduation yesterday and I saw this little
boy that always sees me. Itwas so excited like looking at me,

(48:47):
but you know, like how tolike connect with me because he was just
like excited, and I was like, you want to hug He's like,
you know, shook his head andI gave him a hug and he said
I was smiling, you know.And then and then you know, then
his dad came by. And thenhis dad came by and looked at him,

(49:08):
and he was like excited to seehis dad. And he's like,
what are you doing on your phone? Let me see that? Okay.
I was like I just wanted togo and be like he wants a hug,
you know, because he saw megreet me. He's like, what's
up with you know? What's up? Well, you know, and then
I was like, I was like, this boy wants you so bad and

(49:28):
you don't even you said, what'son your phone? You got games?
You know. I was like,Oh, I was like, oh,
like, what are we doing this? This boy just wants to hug his
dad. Yeah. Because I cameout and I could read him, I
was like, come on, youjust a deeper conversation that we have to
get into. Yeah, the nexttime, next next season most definitely wow

(49:53):
mm hmm. But it's just butbut once again, that does connect back
to understanding. Yeah, you know, just finding understanding. Right, So
I got a question for you,right in what ways does practicing empathy and
understanding impact of our relationship with otherscan promote positive communication? So that's used

(50:19):
the E word, and that's usethe E word. And I just want
to admit here that there's a differencebetween being empathetic and being emotionally nosy.
And everybody thinks they're an EmPATH,and so I just want to make sure
that there's some understanding about the differencebecause people think that they're always empathetic and

(50:45):
empathic. Everybody thinks they're empathic,and I'm like, no, you're just
hypervigilant. You got trauma responses,you're just highly attaching. There's a trauma
response. Empathic means like you genuinelyfeel what that person was going through.
I can see what people are goingthrough, I can watch people go through
it. But to feel what someoneis going through is that you're sharing a

(51:07):
bond with their experience. And sometimesI can even be secondary trauma responses.
And so it's really important to understandthat your empathy levels, the way you
feel what they're going through, itprovides you access to understanding, but it
doesn't mean that you are and thatcomes with compassion next, right, showing

(51:28):
compassion, right, So understanding isa key to compassion. So from empathetic
folk, just you know when youare, when you are truly feeling what
someone might be going through, groundyourself with understanding and then ask how you
can show compassion. So I justwant to make sure because some people are

(51:50):
mostly nosy. They just you know, oh, feelings, feelings, feelings,
and then they just then they putperceptions about what about the person or
what they're going through, and theydon't really provide any other thing other than
speculation and projection or deflection based uponhow it might be triggering their own traumas
that they have. Mm hm.So I like, I've never heard of
that. Never you were first,Oh yeah, emotionally nobles hm hmm.

(52:17):
Can sometimes Oh I am if Iam, I know you are with friends,
so you'd be asking me, you'dbe texting me. I was like,
why are you so no, youdon't text me about this, lady.
I was like, because I waswith you that night. I saw

(52:43):
you when I said m m,it's like, nope, they're fighting.
I was just drinking about the water, just fighting the air, just fighting
the air. Oh you got metogether? Yeah, I really, I

(53:04):
really hope that you didn't. Iknow you didn't. I know you didn't.
I know you did. I knowyou didn't. I'm very disciplined.
I'm very I'm not no, I'mvery obedient. I'm very obedient. I'm
working on my discipline. Yeah,that's another topic in here, and about
the discipline one. Yeah, that'sanother one. That's another one. That's
another All right, so listen tothis. Let's take a quick break,

(53:27):
and when we come back, we'regonna kind of close this this topic.
Offer right, It's gurty God isnow banks here on the season of Self
Love Podcast and we will be rightback. What are some common barriers that
prevent people from expressing, Hey isrgurty? God is not me? Banks
here from the season and Self LovePodcast. Yeah, I would say remorse.

(53:52):

of the many amazing conversations that wehave every day Monday and Friday right here

as our resident therapist, doctor WillWashington, Washington. Well, it makes

(54:13):

(54:34):
got its Nurvery Banks here on theseason and self Little Podcast and this month

to word with me so as Iwas sitting here and just looking at the
commercial right So, so I'm watchinga commercial and I'm seeing it and I'm
like let's have my hair. Look. I was thinking about that. I

(54:55):
was like, why do I looklike like look down? Like like why
wut come down? Like there?I was like, I need to change
not to make me think about theentire structure of my whole body posture.
I was like all hunched over themic. I was like, this is
embarrassing, this is not becoming ofme. I was like, I have
poor posture. I was like,you're a But I was thinking that this

(55:15):
was happening in real time, likeseriously, like I was like a stop
on my oh my god, ohyou thought, I'm just being self critical.
I'm just judging myself. I waslike, why have we read today
when we read that day? Likewell, I'm thinking like this is what

(55:38):
my hand like today? Like sting. Everything changed just like see, yeah,
I'm not beautiful. People again,welcome to the season and podcast again.
I am your whole Stamdy backs hereand I'm here with our resident therapist,
doctor Will Washington. And today wewere talking about understanding. We were

(56:04):
talking about understanding. It's been agreat topic. We kind of missed over
some things, but that's good.But we can, as we always do,
we bring it right back around andencircle with it. But I want
to do this. This is towardsthe end of our show, and I
know the month of May is mentalhealth awareness, and I said that for
the last two weeks to make thatwe were going to, you know,

(56:25):
kind of do too. Guided meditationswant to bring in and want to take
us out. And so what Iwant to do is I want to take
this moment to just reflect on howwe go with understanding. All right,
So I want you to close youreyes, take a deep breath in.

(56:47):
Let's take a moment to reflect onthe power of empathy and connection. I
want you to close your eyes,and I want you to recall a moment
when understanding the gap between you andanother person. I want you to feel
the warmth of that connection and letit fill you with gratitude. Now,

(57:10):
I want you to consider how youcan carry this spirit of understanding. For
want you to visualize yourself moving throughlife with compassion and empathy, building stronger
relationships and fostering harmony. And Irepeat after recitedly. I cultivate deep understanding

(57:39):
within myself and I extend it toall beings. I commit to approaching each
interaction with empathy, and love,and when you are ready, gently open
your eyes, knowing that true understandsis a kif that in riches both you,

(58:04):
yourself in the world around you.I'm beautiful people, and I just
thank you for just sharing this momentwith us right now. And for me,
truly understanding is something that is veryimportant to me. And as I

(58:25):
was just sitting listening to that meditation, what came up into my mind is
to remember as a teenager, asa young girl, and remembering I was
that debater that wanted to always argueto be right, you know, to
get my point across, to makesure that everybody knew that I knew,

(58:49):
you know. And now I knowthe importance of truly understanding. I know
the importance on how to be empatheticto others and to have compassion for others
as well as myself. So notso not always being right, but communicating

(59:13):
to understand and to be understood.And so I look at it so much
differently now that I'm able to seethe different perspectives of others in a way
that they view their vision of theirlife. Does that make sense? Yeah?
Yeah, that's beautiful. Yeah.How long have you been? How

(59:37):
long have you been just like recognizingcultivating that. How long you been cultivating
that? Oh? For years?And let me say this, I want
to say after my divorce, sothis has been over twenty something years.

(01:00:00):
Wow. Yeah. And because Iwas a hard ass, like I don't
play. I did not play.Even when I spoke to people, they
had to look me in my eyeand when talking because I had to make
sure that I knew know just everything. And so at that time I could
have been very intimidating with them,and that I wasn't not that I wasn't

(01:00:21):
trying to understand them. I wastrying to I was protecting myself in a
moment. You understand what I'm saying. Yeah, I was protecting myself in
that moment, but also being awareof who I am in that time in
that moment. So it was awhole lot of things that was going on

(01:00:42):
in that process during that time.So once I was able to get into
other relationships that were more to whereI can bring down my walls and understand,
it allowed me to be able tocultivate a lot of the things that
I learned now that I am now. The way that I speak and talk

(01:01:04):
to people, the way that Iwill sit and listening instead of over talking
and making sure that I'm able tobe heard. I don't have to be
the loudest person in the room anymore. That I can just sit, watch
and listen and pay attention. Becausewhen you do that, you hear a
lot of things from people loudly thatthey have inside of them that's hidden.

(01:01:25):
Does that make sense? Yeah?I always tell people I talk loud by
listen louder. Yeah, oh yes, yes, yeah, yeah yeah.
And so that's where it's been.Yeah, it's been over twenty years.
It's true, it has. It'sbeen over twenty years. And I believe

(01:01:46):
me wanting to have a different relationshipwith my girls than my mother had with
me allowed me to sit and listento them, actively listening and allowing them
to be who they are, youknow, and help them to kind of
both themselves, you know, towho they want to be in life.

(01:02:07):
In the beginning that I get itwas I kind of rusty. Hell yeah,
you know what I'm saying. Iwas nineteen ten years old when I
became a mother, so I wasstill grown to who I am. So
but when I realized it, thenI said, okay, let me listen
to her because she speaking the samelanguage that I was speaking when I was
at age, and wasn't nobody listening. So let me hear her, let

(01:02:29):
me listen, let me understand whatshe is saying, and help her to
where her voice can be heard loudly, you know what I'm saying. And
so her she allowed me to kindof go through that. It's you know,
cultivated more. And then once Iwas divorced and just really going on

(01:02:52):
my thing, and then that justreally gave me the room to be able
to move and actually move away fromChicago and move away from that and be
able to see the world in awhole different way. Also allowed you to
see different voices, to hear differentlanguage, to see different cultures. You

(01:03:13):
understand what I'm saying. So whenlocked into one thing, you can't see
nothing. But once you have removedyourself from that, that glass looked different,
That window looked different. Those glassesare different, you know what I'm
saying. And that's what allowed meto be able to cultivate all of that.
And let me be honest, Ididn't know that that was happening then.

(01:03:35):
I didn't realize that that was happeningthen to ten years ago, eleven
years almost twelve years ago when Iwent into my closet and starting on this
healing, true healing journey. Oh, that's what that was. That's why
my tones are different. You know, even though this is who I've been
for the past twenty almost, youknow, almost thirty years, still see

(01:04:01):
me or who I was for thefirst twenty years of my life. They
can't see me past that. Sothey missed a whole thirty years. That's
crazy to think, like, wow, they missed on such an amazing person.
Yeah, and now they got tocatch up. Yeah. But what
I see is that do these pasttwenty five almost thirty years I went through

(01:04:25):
my healing journey, even with tenyears of not even knowing that I was
going through my healing journey? Doesthat make sense? So some of them
probably haven't even started, don't evenknow that they they don't think that they
need healing. You understand right fromthat? It is what it is.
That's what a lot of people.It is what it is, that's what
life gives you. That's the carsthat got that. They helped me.

(01:04:47):
So that's why I'm gonna be there. That's amazing. Yeah, Wow,
Yeah, I saw foundational and Ireally hope that the things that you've laid,
the things that you laid for yourself, now your own lineage can walk

(01:05:09):
on that, ye right, andthen their job is to build the homes,
and then their homes are going tobuild the community that you always wanted
for yourself. Yeah. That's amazingthat you did that intentionally. Yeah right,
Yeah, by choosing yourself to loveyourself first. Yeah, it self

(01:05:30):
love, self love. Like Isay, this podcast did more for me
as much as they're doing for thelisteners. Like seriously, it's like,
yeah, I'm living it out loud. I'm understanding that it is out loud.
I'm going through this out loud,you know, and just you know,

(01:05:57):
all the letters that come in fromyou know, some of the listeners,
and you know, I be I'mso moved with some of the things
that come through, Like, wow, y'all was really listening, Like,
yeah, I understood what you weretalking about, you know, in the
moment of what you know mean andthat speaks values to me and not that

(01:06:19):
that was confirmation for me. Iget confirmation when I'm sitting here talking and
I'm saying a story and sharing oneof my stories in and I'm like,
Oh, that's what that is.And that's just instant confirmation for me.
Not that I'm looking for it,but I'm open to understand what that is.

(01:06:40):
I'm open to acknowledge to see it. A lot of times we don't
see it because we're so blocked toother things, you know. And I
think that that blindness that you talkabout, it's a mirror m Some of
us aren't just ready to be inthe mirror yet. And that's okay.

(01:07:04):
You know you don't. You don'thave to move a mirror around to see
it. You have to get infront of your mirror. So are you
wanting to get in front of yourself? That's why I'm as quick not to
judge other people or criticize people,because I know, I know, I
know my mirror, I know wheremy mirror is at. Let me look
at my mirror first before I lookat yours. Oh I like that one.
