(01:29):
at So thank you so much forjoining me. I want to talk to
you today about the role and theimpact of friendship in our lives. All
right, the role and the impactof friendship in our lives. I think
about a few weeks ago, Igot a chance to kind of reconnect with

(01:49):
someone who had a big part anda big role in my life when I
used to live in Tennessee, andfor some reason, I mean, we've
done a lot of things together.We similar when you see her, you
saw me, When you saw me, you're so hard. That was how
closed we were when I was inTennessee. And of course we also did

(02:12):
some shows. There were some showsthe Princess of the Bobbi Aware. I
invited her to be my co hostand it was an incredible success. We
had a lot of people that watchedus. It was just powerful. We
would walk on the streets of Tennesseeand people would instantly recognize us through that
show. So we were riding upuntil we just he just snagged. I

(02:36):
felt the need that I needed toexpand on what I was doing and need
to kind of create platforms for otherwomen where they could come in on podcasts
and be known where I could comein. I also do documentaries and them
and so that they can share thattrauma story. So I had that a
little separation from away from this girlfriendof mine. But sadly because of that

(03:02):
separation, I think we cannot allowedthe enemy people to get in the midst
of that. And bottom lyne wasthat with everything just fisled untiltail untail a
few weeks ago, where we're reconnectedand we're trying, we're really taking it

(03:23):
slow to kind of find ourselves backwhere we need to be again. UM,
why am I sharing this? I'msharing this too let us know that.
Um, with what is going onin life right now, where you
have people friends, shouldn't you know, neighbors shoulding each other, children just
barely walking on the park and thenbe shore. Just too much crayoff and

(03:46):
craziness that is happening around us inthe US right now and also all over
the world. Frankly, but theus because of the impact of God and
all that, things have become really, really crazy. And I got the
thinking that, you know what,life is so short, right. You
have some some parents who said whotook their children to school in the morning

(04:08):
and said, hey, sweetie,good morning, I'll see good goodbye.
You have a great day at school, and I'll see you at the end
of school. But then the endof school never came because the only thing
that they heard was a story aboutsomebody going in and shooting their child to
death. We have someone whose childrenwas on the lawn just playing and the

(04:28):
ball happened to cross over to aneighbor's And what did they neighbor do?
Shoot the child, shoot the mother, shoot the father. I mean,
it's just going crazy. And soI said to myself, life is too
short, and we're gonna start continueto leave alone and leave and not try
to impact the life of others throughfriendship. And so for me, reuniting

(04:56):
with this girlfriend of mine was essential. It was crucial that we reunited so
that those who thought that it wasover, those who go about behind the
scenes telling stories that it's not true, would know that we eventually got back
to where we needed to get backto. But the cool part about this

(05:16):
is that both of us have grownsince then. I've gone on to become
a board certified psychiatric mental health doctorof Norse practice with my clinics. She's
gone on to grow her business.She's gone on to even have a doctorate,
which always slapped that on, butthen like, okay, girls,
for your doctorate, and she'd belike, oh God, all let me,

(05:41):
let me breathe a little. Andto see that, you know,
the same week that she finished waswhen we reunited. That was just if
that's not divine, I don't knowwhat it is. So I shared this
with you, and I think thatas time goes on, we will continue
to share. I will have theopportunity and that latitude being able to release
and continue to share more and perhapsto be the two of us will come

(06:03):
together and talk about friendship and theimpact and the understanding and the importance of
allowing other people to be just themselves, right to be to understand that there
will be times where there separation,and there are times God we bring you
back together, and other times Godwill just say bad by. I just

(06:23):
keep going right. But there aretimes I always said that there were unfinished
business with her, and so becauseof that, this just thrills me to
be able to bring that back onmy platform, you know, for the
world to see that. You knowwhat. Yeah, they matter've written it
off, but I even wrote itoff at some point. But after talking
to him, then I realized,talking to other realist, wait a minute,

(06:46):
there has been some misconception between thetwo of us. You know,
there has been misconception on her partthat has been miss of misconception on my
part, simply because we didn't taketime to really sit down and say,
tell the truth, tell the veil, and tell the truth about the situation
and be able to just liep inin the board. But perhaps God has

(07:09):
something to do with that too,because now I see her, she's blossom.
I just love what she's doing rightnow. I see her now,
you know, and I see whereI am now too, and I know
that we have even more that wecan use to impact each other. So
friendship is pivotal to our mental wellness. For those of us who just say

(07:31):
we're cool, we're just staying inthe house now talking to anybody. Yes,
I'm one of those, right,I'm one of those. But at
the end of the day, westill need people. We need others in
our life. Show we can't justlive by ourselves and say, okay,
this isn't we stay in our owncocoon and our own bubble. And if
we're not, we're not going outto reach out and touch other people,

(07:54):
then we're subject to any kind ofmisinformation disufformation out there. We need to
get out of our bubbles and beginto reach out. So, for myself,
being in Arizona here, I've beena little bit skeptical about joining churches
because I'm in California. I wasso ingrained in it. Everywhere that I've
been and lived, I've been ingrainedin it. But for some reason,

(08:16):
because of the COVID and just kindof things that's going on right now,
you know, I'm not impressed.I'm frankly, I'm not impressed by some
of our pastors right now. I'mnot impressed about their stands politically, I'm
not impressed. I'm just simply notimpressed. And for me, it's hard
for me to sit on that thatkind of I don't I would want to

(08:37):
even call it an annointing on thatthat kind of person, because what's the
point in you know, people tellme, oh, it's church, you
can just go You're talking to God. But the point is, if I
don't agree with you, it's goingto be tough for me to just sitting
in the church and just be sayingI'm sinking to God. Where the person
on the stage, I do notagree with what they're doing, right,

(08:58):
I as a Christian, I appleto believe that everybody needs to live their
life. I don't necessarily have toagree with the way you live your life.
But I don't have to choke youwith my own either. I don't
have to bang your head with myBible. I think that my life is
Bible enough. I think that evenin my own imperfections, you can see
God's perfection and still be able tosay, wow, I see her faith,

(09:20):
I see I believe, I seeI trust, I see a love,
I see a kindness, I seeour gentility. Those are the kind
of things that I believe that Godhas called us to do. And so
so, just recently I got tovisit a church and it was refreshing.
It was let me say that,I don't know what else is going to

(09:41):
happen, but that particular service wasrefreshing from me because it brought me back
to the kind of worship that Iwas used to. So I don't know
what's going to happen. So whatare we talking? What am I talking
about? Friendship is huge, isa big part of our mental wellness.
It's important that at least we haveone or two people. You don't have
to have the whole world, butat least one or two people that you

(10:03):
can reach out and touch and say, hey, say I'm thinking about this,
what do you think? But atthe same time, you want that
friend to be able to tell youthe truth, even if it's not good,
even if it's something that's gonna youknow, hit you right smack in
the middle of your face. Youstill want them to tell the truth.
You don't want a say say sayyes, yes yes kind of friend because
I would rather not have a friendthan have a yes, yes yes kind

(10:24):
of friend. So, if youhave a friend that you have not seen
in a while, perhaps this isthe time. Because life is so short
so cannot reach out and just seehow they're doing, Perhaps this is the
time. Now there are some friendsthat is just not gonna work. Please
don't go and stare up trouble foryourself. All right, So if you

(10:45):
got to kind of figure out thekind of friendship you if you walk back
in your life, all right,use wisdom, use God's wisdom. If
