Sharon D. Brown, who is truly lives up to the

(02:29):
Jacob Show to the Kim Jacob Show.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Welcome Sharon, thank you, thank you, thank you. It is
again it is such a pleasure of being here. It's
almost like it almost feels like it's my first time,
and you.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Know, you know what we talked about backstage. So now
that's going to be the case. Even when I have
the Freestyle Friday experts come on as guests, I'm just
gonna go do the whole normal thing that I do
for first time guests. Right, that's a good thing. I'm
glad you're welcomed again. And so listen, everybody. You may
have questions throughout today's conversation. We're talking about hustle versus harmony,

(03:09):
the difference between hustle and harmony, and how you can
kind of infuse the two together. So Sharon, what I
wanted you to do is just take us back on
your journey and tell us maybe when there was a
turning point in your life that you realized that self
care was really needing to be a priority for you.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, thank you for that. Well, first of all, just
introducing myself to everyone again. My name is Sharon D.
Brown and I'm the founder of Self Care You Academy,
and pretty much with the Self Care Your Academy, it
is dedicated for entrepreneurs and leaders where they can supercharge
their self care, safeguard their sanity and thrive in the

(03:52):
midst of chaos without sacrificing themselves, because that's what usually happens,
especially for those of us who have missions, have a ministry,
who have a movement, and we're a servant for others.
Sometimes we can forget about ourselves, but they're not only that.
It's like in the midst of it, sometimes we don't

(04:13):
always do the things that need to be done to
take care of our own vessel, our own mind. And
so for me, when I want to say self care
has been I can't say one hundred percent part of
my life because that would be telling the truth. But

(04:34):
I will say this, it has been a part of
my mind, whether or not I was actively involved in
it in one way or another. And part of that
is because you know, by being a therapist, I'm a
licensed clinical social worker, and that and of itself, you know,
I'm exposed to so many different things of the mind.

(04:57):
But on a personal base is I would say there
were three pivoting points in my life where self care
really became, where it really hit me and that I needed.
The first one was a breakup, and for anybody who
heard me talk about it. I cried for four to

(05:20):
days and forty nights any more than that, but it
was a point in my life. I felt so much
pain in my heart and my spirit, and as a therapist,
I knew that top therapy wasn't going to help to
be very helpful. But there are times in what going

(05:43):
into a therapy session talking may not be the thing
that a person needs. So at that particular time, I
heard about yoga, but I was a yoga I think
I might have did it a few times before in
the past, but it didn't touch me. I walked into

(06:11):
a yoga class because I needed something because I was
exercising at that particular time, I was eating healthy, but
it just wasn't doing anything to help settle me. And
so yoga was one of the first things that I did.
And then from there I ended up going to yoga

(06:32):
teacher training, where I learned even more so I said, oh,
people really need to learn about this.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
And so the second thing that helped me realize that, oh,
I definitely need to make sure I have self care
and make sure I'm taking care of myself is when
it came to my parents. And with my parents, there was.
It was really more I would say, a ten year

(07:06):
challenge of that when it came to their medical condition.
But again it was it was still after the break
I would say, it was still after the breakup, but
there was a period of time where both my mom
and my stepdad both had some medical challenges. And for

(07:27):
anybody who knew me, you know at that time and
we were close friends, thank you for listening, oh for me.
But it was hard. I mean even though I have
family as well, but it was hard on them too.
It's like each each of us did our part, but

(07:48):
it was hard. And so one thing I would say
is that what I liked about having yoga into my
life in that it helped me see where it can
be helpful. So by yoga being introduced and there were
some other things introduced as well in that Okay, when

(08:11):
it came to that, it made me realize, oh, I
need something to hold on to, I need something to
help me through this. And so that was another time.
And then just working in the mental health field, you
know how much it helps others. But what people don't
realize and I don't even think that I realized this

(08:33):
until after a decade let later. But really when I started,
really when I stepped into yoga and reiki and some
other things, that's when I really realized of how much
it really takes so told on us. It's not just
the stories that we hear, but what it does to

(08:56):
our body. And that's the thing that they don't really
talk about, the visceral of fat, and so we can
become burnout because of that. Again, it doesn't mean we
need to talk about the stories and how are impact,
it's what it does to our energy. And so again,
those are the three themes that really made me realize

(09:20):
that self care was important for me, and to be
able to share with others.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
That's really a good deep dive into understanding the backdrop
as to what pushed you into this, especially when you're
dealing with heartbreak and personal challenges, whether it's caring for
somebody else or trying to think of how you can
manage your job, manage your career, your life and relationships,
and then you're getting your heart broken at the same time, How,

(09:50):
in your opinion, does that impact your ability to juggle
your work and your life and that whole balance perspective.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
One thing I and say is that it's not easy yeah,
it is not easy at all. And because there was
even a period of time, I'm like, do I want
to do this therapy thing seriously because it really took

(10:21):
a toll on me. Especially with the breakup. It was
just that he put me in a different space because
I had never been in that space before. And also
one thing I want to let people know, when it
comes to breakups and heart eights, majority of the time,

(10:41):
it's not about the person. Never, never, you know, And
I want to make that clear because I don't want
people to think, oh, I can't get over this person.
It's usually almost never. When I was crying for forty days,
for forty nights, maybe the first four days, you know,
may have been about the person, maybe the first week,

(11:04):
but after that it was more so just some deeper
things that I didn't even realize that was suppressed within me,
that needed to come out, that needed to surface. And
so I just wanted to make sure I made that clear.
But getting back to what you were saying is kind
of like, how to you know, kind of like manage

(11:28):
all of that. And I would say, really, what helped
me is knowing I knew, especially when it came to
the breakup, I knew that I was gonna be okay.
I knew that that I just had to get through it.
And we can't rush the time. We can do a

(11:48):
lot of different things which can help suppress suppress the
time per se, but we can't completely Like I'm not
gonna say rush the time. I'm gonna take that back
that we can't rush the processite right, right, because the
time can be condensed with the twos that we put
in place. And so by having the belief that even

(12:12):
though it was hard, that I knew that I was
gonna be okay, that is one thing that helped. And
the other thing is is round about that time. That
was also about the same time. It's like, you know,
I want to help people in a different way, how
can I help people? So having a vision of wanting

(12:34):
to be of service, so that was the other other
things and so it kind of led me into a
rabbit hole into all of this self care thing on
its way. And if you don't mind me sharing that.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Want share everything you want to share it during this
hour ago.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Okay, So, like I said, it did start off with
the yoga, but then by me just having the ideal
that hey, I want to help people in a different way,
and pretty much, I want to say maybe about twenty thirteen,
and that was before the breakup. That was already a

(13:15):
planet that I wanted to help people in a different
way other than canceling, other than therapy. And so what
I did is I had started studying or at least
like applied or looking into personal training. So it wasn't
until twenty fifteen that I, you know, became a personal

(13:35):
trainer and I passed the task. So that was the
first part. And then I'm like, well, let me get
into this right. And so with personal training they use
motivation interviewing, and which even in therapy we use that,
and I was familiar with it with therapy, but I
wanted to learn it from the perspective as a personal trainer.

(13:58):
So I'm looking at motivat interviewing, I'm looking it up.
And then all of this stuff for God of Motivation came.
And then Michael Bernard beckwith I don't know if anyone
is familiar with him, but he showed up and I'm like,
who is this person? And he is a pastor, he

(14:22):
is a motivational speaker, but he's a healer. He's so
many different things, and I started binging on him and
it really opened up my eyes regarding helping people and
even with me because even with him, you know, he's
more of a spiritual person, if anything, I said, spirituality, healing,

(14:46):
And I'm like, where has this brother been all my life?
You know, because he has even helped me look at
religion in a different way. And so the other part
of that again, I'm like, how can I help people?
How can I help people? And I had remember it's like,
oh yeah, I attended the Black mental health supposing and

(15:11):
doctor oh my gosh, oh I know, I know her name,
and she's gonna kill me because.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
You'll remember it within the hour. Don't worry.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
We used to do things, but right now I think
because I'm on stage, that's probably why right now. But anyway,
she she created the supposing them and I remember there
was just one segment and I couldn't remember the e
is that name of what the person has said? But
it was Sims. That's him. More time Michael Bernard beck.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
With Okay, and you said he played a key role
in some of the transformations that happened in your life.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yes, yes, like I said, I was definitely Vigeon on
every word that he had and it really opened my mind, untol,
how I was thinking and going back to the symposium,
I just remember Asha and she was talking about using
you some hand stuff, you know, and helping her brother,

(16:22):
and I'm like, I was intrigued by that and pretty
much what it is. It's reiki, you know, it's healing
with the hands, and they do that even within the church,
where at least I would say with some churches. But
that intrigued me. And with her. I looked her up,
and she has training, and so I attended her training,
and her training had even had a profound impact on

(16:45):
me as well. It changed how I view in helping
people when it comes to healing. But it also changed
me because it made me realize that I already had
some stuff inside of me that I didn't even know.
It heightened my intuition. She talked about crystals when I

(17:06):
was a kid, y'all, guess what I used to call that? Rocks? Okay, yeah,
and so but anyway, those are you know, three of
the things that had really helped me, you know, really
get started. And from then on, I've been, you know,
on this path of sharing information with individuals as well.

(17:31):
As you know, and just looking at different ways of
how to help. And one thing I want to say
to regarding the reiki, what it made me realize is
that in mental health in and of itself, because a
lot of times mental health is top therapy heavy. That
with reiki, you know, it's about you know, the energy

(17:54):
in your body, and it talks about the chakras and everything.
And it just made me realize not doing everything to
help people. So we really need to be open to
so many different modalities where people can help themselves and
to get help, okay.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
And so the thing when I hear reiki, for example,
because I was reading about it, it says reiki is
a Japanese technique for stress reduction and other red glasses.
But I have some red glasses, I see, okay, that
promotes healing and it's administered by laying on the hands
and see like, so when what I think I'm hearing,
because you have to educate me more on it, is

(18:36):
that the power well for me, it would be the
power of the Holy Ghost because I lay on hands too,
but I lay them on with oil and knowing that
the power of the Lord is ministering through nothing to
do with me as the individual, but that I am
being used by God as a vehicle and as a
vessel to lay my hands on someone in his name.

(18:58):
How is that? How is reiki? I don't really know.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
It's very similar to that. And when it says the
energy is, it is the energy of a higher power,
because basically for individuals who have been atoned, like myself,
it's like, it's not us, it's not my energy. Yeah,
it's not my energy. And that's really what it is.

(19:21):
It's the leaning of the hands. And it's very similar
concepts in and of itself. Some of it depends on
your belief, but it's really about the same.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Interesting, okay, only because I know, like I say, in
the name of Jesus, whenever, I'm representing my Lord and
saving Jesus Christ, so that it's very clear that I'm
not representing Kim, I'm not representing any other source. I'm
actually just doing this as a vehicle being used. And
so with Kie, I don't know, do they say something
about the Japanese people or God. I don't know what's

(19:55):
going on. I don't know anything about Rachel. Okay, So anyway, less,
so reiki for you has really made a difference because
you can see some healing effects and outcomes for people's
lives as a result of what you've been trained to
do it. And then this is and please help me,

(20:18):
because I'm really trying to understand. Is this almost like
how when people do massage therapy and things too, Because
when I go to a masseuse, I feel like God
is orchestrating through their hands some power to really help
my body become better. It's stuff that I don't know.
I don't personally know how to get to those pain

(20:39):
points and pressure points to get the outcome that I'm
looking for. And that similar it sounds like what I'm
hearing sometimes with reiki is that the power that God
has given you all in your hands is a healing
component to people, and they have that outcome.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Help me in a very similar way. But one thing
with the healing of the hands in and of itself,
we do not generally, we don't touch the person. It
truly is the energy. And if anybody remember the original
Karate kid and with Daniel when he heard his lid

(21:15):
and with his teacher, he rub his hands together and
put his hand on it, it's very similar to that.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Okay, okay, well, can you tell me, since I have
known you now for a while and you're my freestyle
Friday expert, why you haven't uh did any of this
stuff to help my body over here? Is there a
reason why I see you, actually see you in person, Carolina?
And I'm hearing on this show that you have some

(21:45):
healing powers in your hands. And I don't know it,
but you know what, you know what.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
I can't remember who it was, But as they say,
people won't know until we say so. It's because I
haven't really said anything about it, even though it's part
of it. It's like if someone happened to say something,
I'm like, oh, yeah, I can offer this or refer you.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Well, I'm really.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Gladder say it in a way because you never know
who needs your servey.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
So when I see you in church on Sunday, whenever
I see you, I expect them to be like, can
excuse me? Everybody sayings? Everybody, God, bless your saints, God
blessed Charon. Can I see you back here in the
office for a minute. Put my bows down, but.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
We'll make a personal apartment, Okay.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
You know, you got to be able to have fun
when you have people that you that you love and
then you're getting to learn more about them in this
kind of capacity. But how do you feel that burnout
actually affects a person's business and personal life? Because people
that are tuning in today, if they're experiencing burnout, it
is impacting every aspect of life. What is your take
on that?

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Oh? Yeah, it definitely impact your life. And the thing is,
let's talk a little bit what happens even before burnout happens, right, okay, burnout?
If you think about burnout almost like I don't want
to say cancer, but you know, cancer or heart attack
and words burnout can lead to those things. But burnout

(23:21):
is more so the outcome the result of things that
even though we can say it's stress, but what are
we doing to combat combat the stress in and of itself?
And so I don't It is the thing. It's our thoughts,

(23:43):
and it's our behaviors and our habits, and our habits
can really get in the way and because sometimes what
ends up happening it is the reactions that we have
especial act It's like, oh, I gotta hur up and
get this thing done, you know, especially when it comes

(24:04):
to the hustling kind of mindset, and we do need
the hustle right up to a certain point to really
get things done because it's the thing that gives us
the energy. So we do need that part of it. However,
if you're in a certain state for an extended period

(24:26):
of time, if everything is of urgency.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
That's a problem.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
That is a problem. So this is how burn up
ends up happening. You know, Like it's okay sometimes if
you need to work ten to twelve hours, let's say
for three days in a row, if you need to
do that for a project or something that you're working on.
But I would say even within that time frame, input

(24:54):
some mental brates, Input where you can have fun and laugh,
Input where you can do certain things, because when you don't,
to be honest, the body doesn't know the difference between
you hustling and you're running from a lion that's good
or bear. Okay, it doesn't know the difference because it

(25:20):
pretty much at night all everything, it's like oh fight,
oh flee, oh freeze.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yes, So the body is just responding to what the
height the height associated with the situation because it's not
getting a visual picture of oh, she's just exhausted or
she's just tired or she's just doing doing the mode.
So whatever the body is like, we are, we're in

(25:47):
fight or flight mode and this is a problem for
me and internally, yeah, good. Well. I was looking up
some of the signs of signs of burnout and one
of some of the things that came up, and it's
on almost all of the sites, so I don't have
to cite each one of them here, but it's basically
saying that it's affecting how you do or how you feel,

(26:08):
even from an emotional exhaustion. If you're too much stress
and being too overwhelmed, means that that's one of the
signs of burnout. A loss of empathy is what one
of them is saying too and another one is like
your sleep is completely off because chronic stress affects the
nerves and hormones that regulate sleep, and you may have insomnia.

(26:30):
There's a lot of different things that I mean, you
just can google. You can google it and you'll see
goog gobs of stuff. You're eating, habits change, they're less
than normal, having headaches, stomachaches, emotional exhaustion, trouble concentrating and
even completing tasks. It's a lot of different things. So
those are some of the things if you're dealing with
burnout to actually look for some warning signs. But for entrepreneurs,

(26:55):
is there anything special you think that we should look
for as business entreprepreneurs as well?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, the thing is, I would say the thing to
look for is looking at your habits and looking at
your thoughts. Because if you're saying, oh, I gotta get
this done, I gotta get this done, and you consistently
again put it in I'm just using ten to twelve hours,
but even just by looking at that and you see

(27:24):
how my shoulder is raising up, I gotta get this done.
I gotta we end up doing that. And so when
you take a deep breath and say, and especially when
you have a plan, so it's having a strategy of
how you're going to get it done. You know, like
pick your three top you know, your three priorities and

(27:46):
what's this important? Because by you and not thinking that
you have to like answer to every email, have systems
in place, and that's one of the reason that you know,
like having the daily business tracker, that's important to have
because one it integrates some self care themes, but it

(28:09):
also allows you to see things in a view in
a bird's view eye, because otherwise, if you're all over
the place, your nervous system is telling you you're not settled.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
That's good.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
And so this is why this is so important for
us to plan. Like for me, that's one of the
things because when I really think about it, a lot
of the places where I work I dealt with it.
It's not just by working in mental health. Some of
it is where I work. I work for the insurance company.
You working for the insurance company. Basically we're busy from

(28:46):
the time we start to the time we end because
of the fact that is the number of people that
are in the emergency room. People are in the emergency
room to be admitted, they need a preseerch people are
in an outpatient someone has to take care of those. So
when the emergency rooms are busy, the insurance company is
usit for presearch as well. And so just saying that

(29:09):
is a lot of work. It's busy work in and
of itself, and so you may have to take those
two minute breathers, you may have to get up, well,
definitely get up when you really do have to use
the bathroom. But I literally go and get a cup
of water and just say, hey, do I need to
go to the bathroom, so that you can get yourself

(29:32):
out of that urgency, out of that fighting flight, because
a lot of times people look at may think of
fight a flight of being, you know, like when something
traumatic happened, it's every day. It can be every.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Day that's good. And even you know, when you were
talking about this, and thank you McKenzie backstage for your
help to I appreciate it. I just want to say,
when you were talking about it, I immediately thought be
more intentional, right now, Kim, because I was like, you know,
like this tightness in my neck and everything, and then
I was like, oh, let me just relax, and I
felt so much better. So that put me in the

(30:10):
mind that there are so many myths out there, especially
for busy people, that oh, I'll rest once i'm successful,
that I'll get my rest when i'm successful. What's your
theory on that?

Speaker 2 (30:21):
No, because if you rest when you're successful, you won't
be here. You won't be here. Because I'm gonna say this,
We're constantly training our body, We're constantly training our minds,
We're constantly training our thoughts, We're constantly training our spirit

(30:46):
and averything that we do. And remember how I was
talking before. Our body doesn't know the difference when we're
in the sense of urgency, that that tiger is not
behind us, that bear is not behind us. So if
you're constantly in that, that's just look at high blood pressure.

(31:06):
High blood pressure isn't just a theme that becomes They
also say it's stressed. So if you're constantly if your
body is always in a mold that hey, a bear
is running after me. It developed certain chemicals, yes, inside you.

(31:28):
When you have certain chemicals inside you, then you start
thinking in a certain way because even when your shoulders
are up, if it's up for too long, it gonna
start hurting. So if you don't take that, you know,
for those of you, you all who know me, you
hear me say a lot, take that deep breath. You
think some people may think that I'm saying taking a

(31:49):
deep breath so that you can be like, oh no,
it's so that you can release that type of energy.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Interesting and you know what you actually even because I
witnessed this because you come to the church sometimes, so
I've seen you in church or not just at church,
but even at events because I go to different events
and you're there where I'll notice that you'll stand up
and you know, get up against the wall or something.
Why why do you do that? I never even asked
that before, and I don't know if it's good to

(32:17):
ask it on the show. But these are things shooting
now that I know you're gonna be massaging my should
from up in the air like this. I don't know
what you're gonna be doing, but just talk to me
and tell me what makes what makes you do that
during different events.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, one of the reasons that I do that now
is because years and years ago, when I had a
job sitting in the computer and this is when I
was at working for the insurance company, just sitting there
in front of the computer, I ended up developing I
forget what it's called. It's not a sciatica, but it's

(32:51):
the other thing. But in a way it really hurt
my you know, like say, my hips and so so
now I definitely know that if you sit down for
too long without moving, it's not good for you. And
I don't know if you heard and this, and naturally
this was probably even ten years ago, but they're saying

(33:11):
and even you know now, is that sitting is the
new smoking.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
What now I'm gonna search that.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Sitting is the new smoking is the new smoking.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
That is very detrimental.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Exactly, okay. And so one of the reasons that I
stand up is so that I'm the basic of it,
just so that I can be healthy.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Wow, So just so you can Actually that makes it
so shoot when you start standing and be like that, everybody,
this is a time we should be taking a break,
according to her standing up. So this is liked that
moment we've been in service too long or something. Okay, look,
sitting is the new smoking. There's a whole article and
it's on There's a whole article News Medical Life Sciences,

(34:02):
and it says sedentary behavior is insufficient or insufficient physical
activity can negatively impact an individual's physical and mental health.
It could potentially increase the risk of noncommunicable diseases, including
cardio metabolic disorders.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
This is huge.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
I didn't know this. Yeah, okay, So you guys, it's
so many articles and things. I'm gonna put this article
because you know what, just google it. Just google it. Now.
I'll go ahead and put this, let me copy it,
let me put because it's extra work. I'll be trying
to bet I'll be doing the most over here, but
I am going to put this in the comment section.
There are some questions coming in. Take a moment, if
you would and address our audience Celeste Johnson, who's also

(34:43):
talk show hosts and she has voices of Hope program
as well. So y'all make sure you follow Celeste Johnson
answer her question if you will read it out and answer.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah. She says, can you speak to the idea that
everything we think we need to do we don't actually
need to do. Prioritize in delegation and elimination. And that
is so so true in that in that the things
that we think that we need to do that we

(35:17):
may not actually need to. So in saying that, prioritize
in things that are important, now, one thing I want
to add to that is that there are also things
that we know we need to do that we don't do.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Aformation is the assassination of your motivation. I've heard yes,
and so.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
In saying that, I'm gonna use as an example, let's
just say, to ten thousand steps, you know, whether you're
you know, physically able to or not, I'm gonna say
it's important to at least strive for now. There are
some individuals that I can't believe.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
My doctor said, I gotta do ten thousand stuff.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
He know I can't.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
She know I can't, But there are benefits for doing that.
I'm going to add to this. One of my friends
is like an ultra athlete, and they're just a healthy,
conscious person and they don't even do it completely for
their health. They do it more so for their mental
and spiritual as. And if anybody is familiar with David Gggin,

(36:31):
my friend is like the second David gog But in's
saying that they look at a lot of biographies and
things like that, and they were looking at one and
they're like, oh, wow, the standard. What is the standard
of being human? Most of us are not even doing

(36:53):
the standard, the standard of eating healthy, the standard of
taking care of our own bodies, standard of sitting still.
And we're saying, oh, it's too much. I can't do that.
I have this. I have that, especially for individuals who
have children, individuals who have partners, Oh it's too much.

(37:16):
But at the same time, and y'all don't come after me.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Say Y'all'm gonna get y'all her personal sell.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
But At the same time, people will say, well, I
am a vessel, but how are you taking care of
the vessel.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
The vessel that God gave the one body we have.
That's the point.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
It needs to be in tip top shape as much
as you can do. So let's just say the ten
thousand steps is the standard.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
That's right. It is a good standard only because the
ten thousand steps. I know, when I walk ten thousand
steps every day that week, I lose one pound. Can
you believe it? I'm not even I wasn't even doing
it for that. I was just doing it because Frankie
walks twenty five thousand steps a day. I'm like, well,
I can do ten. You keep going, I'm a wall
and turn back. Man. Okay, that's a good point. Okay,

(38:08):
So just having the standard of being when we talk
about because we've talked to some biblical principles in our
previous conversation, you're saying that this body that is the
vessel that God gave us, let's also make sure that
this body is up to the best standard that it
can be in as we're representing Christ too good.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Yes, yes, yes. And also to add to that, let's
just again use the ten thousand steps. Some people may
not be able to physically, you know, let's say someone
who's paralyzed or someone who really do have, you know,
some problems walking. They may have problems, but one step

(38:52):
do it in your mind. Visualize it at as if
you are walking, Act as if tell yourself you're walking,
how proud you are of walking? Good?

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Good, very good. That's you know. And I hear a
lot of concepts, but you, I think God has really
gifted you to think very different about this whole self
carepreneur because I've never I've never heard anybody say and
I do visualization, exercise, stress management things with people myself,
taking them away on a mental vacation and all of that.

(39:31):
And I'm in Hawaii sometimes when I'm right in my backyard.
But when you just said it from a walking perspective,
I don't think I've ever heard anybody say that before.
So I really appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
So even mentally walking, yeah, can help that person distress some.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
But like I say, we never know it may even
help them actually walk, because there's a lot of stuff
that goes along with that too. But julize yourself, like
instead of saying I can't because you remember the power
of the words. But to definitely visualize yourself. And this

(40:13):
is just with anything, anything that you want to do,
anything that you are doing, is to visualize, say it,
and you know, pretend that you are doing it. And
that's still a part of you know, visualization, but that
is so important, you know, is to be able to
take the time for yourself and taking care of your

(40:36):
vessel and taking care of your body, your mind and
your spirit.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
I love it. I love it. And now Mackenzie said,
so what do I do when I have kids, young
kids who don't leave me alone at night?

Speaker 2 (40:52):
That one is one of the things that a lot
of parents end up dealing with. And what I would
say regarding that, and especially like when it comes that night,
is to have a powerful visualization. And even if you
are able to just go into i say, a trance

(41:16):
just for a few a few moments, because it may
not even be a minute, right, is to be able
to do if you are able to go to the bathroom,
and if you're able to you know, do two minutes
or three minutes into the bathroom. And I would say
to have a strip, to have something that you can
say to yourself. So you can get your mind and

(41:38):
wherever you want to be, whatever affirmation, the world of God,
whatever that is. Because the more that you do that
for yourself, then the more that you do it. And
then the other thing is too, is that I'm going
to share this with you what you do. Even though

(42:00):
the kids may not have no interest in it, they will.
Kids don't do what you say, they do what you do.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Eventually they would join you and whatever that is. If
it's sening in silence, you know, if it's listening to something,
So that's another way of doing it as well. And
then make things fun. You know, I'm pretty sure there
are some games out there, but just make things fun

(42:30):
as well.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
And she does a good job of making things fun
right now. She's doing this all body vibration system that's
helping her transform and lose weight. So I'll see her
children counting and doing stuffy see that. Mackenzie does a
really creative job and bringing her children into the mix
of some fun experiences. So keep up the great work, Mackenzie.

(42:53):
So I put too. I just want to make sure
you all know how you really can stay connected with
Sharon D. Brown. She is a self care you Academy
dot com and that's the U is spelled out you
self Careuacademy dot com and I am sharing d Brown
on social media platforms. And so, Sharon, I do want
us to talk about this system that you have, the

(43:14):
DBT Daily Business Tracker. And I'm gonna play a quick
you when me play this click video please all right?
All right, so let me play this and then we're
gonna hear more directly from you. Hold on.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
The secret to success isn't just hustle, its rituals. The
first thing that you do to start your day, are
you waking up stress, reacting to emails, chasing your to
do this, and not knowing what to do when there's
an emergency. Well, let me tell you everything changed for

(43:49):
me once I created a daily ritual plan in setting
intentions and tracking my goals. Now I start my day
with the Daily Business Tracker. Do you want to create
a daily success ritual that keeps you on track? But

(44:10):
go ahead and grab the Daily Business Tracker. Grab the
tracker now at Bent Lee Ford slash DBT DASH. Now
that's Bent Lee Ford slash DBT dash.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Now all right, so talk to us about this daily tracker.
You all scan that QR code. Let me put it.
We'll put it back up again, just the actual code itself.
Here we go. I'll put this up and I want
you all to scan that code and we can hear you,

(44:53):
so share and say something while people are getting a
chance to scan this code. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
Yeah. Again. With the Daily Business Tracker, this is something
again it gives you a birth eye view of your day.
And you know, as business owners, as entrepreneurs and even
as leaders, a lot of times we can really be
all over the place. And so it's something that helps
you to not completely be all over the place, but

(45:21):
to also to remember yourself as well. And so it
has something where you can do, you know, like a
daily affirmation and I would just say, pick one information
that you want to focus on that day and write
it out five times. And then it also has a
space for you to put in the word of the

(45:42):
day a stricter and my favorite is the daily seven
ms in which I had did last week on the
camp Introduce you to it, should I say on the
Kim Jacob Show as well. And then for me where
I needed the most help because business was it's so
new to me and just certain things just wasn't a

(46:03):
part of my repertoire, you know, like when it comes
to marketing and branding to have a checklist because there's
so many different things. It's like, oh, yeah, I do this,
but then there are different steps that comes along with it.
But also to help you, you know, again, with your mission,
with your movement, with your ministry, is are you telling

(46:26):
people what do you have on social media? Now? One
thing I will say with the tracker, it doesn't mean
that you have to touch on all these points every
single day, but depending on where you are in your business,
it is it does serve as a reminder either for
you to obtain these themes or to develop a system

(46:51):
for them. And another thing I want to say about this,
like generally when it comes to entrepreneurs and business owners,
I want to say there's like two types. There's that
one who you know may especially if you're new, you
may not be you don't know a whole lot about business,

(47:12):
So this is going to help you. But especially for
those of you who have been leaders and business owners
and entrepreneurs for a while, you're all into the business,
but sometimes you forget about yourself. So this helps you
with that, you know, because you don't want to sway
away from you. You know, you're like, oh, but I'm

(47:33):
showing up for my business, but are you completely present,
especially when you go home? Are you able to cut
things down? Because you know how we were talking about
urgency and about being chased, you know, and whatsoever. It
helps with that because one thing like, the more that
you do this and the more that you have this

(47:55):
in front of you, it helps you to think clearly,
what are I need to accomplish today, And then it
helps you to put a game plan in right in
and of itself. And y'all, when I'm saying that some
of these things, I'm still I'm gonna say gaining strengthyen,

(48:15):
because like when it comes to planning, because I'm more
of like, hey, let's do this. I can handle an emergency.
It's like, oh, I got a plan for this.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Why you're talking about that's okay? This is good because
I actually I just purchased mine just so you know,
so you should see some communication coming through on your end.
And I am going to put this up again because
what I'm hearing is that if you can track self care,
it will lead to improved focus, energy, and resilience, which

(48:44):
are some key factors for us as business Entrepreneur'm over
here taking notes, y'all.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
I love when I have a guest come on the
show and I can glean from what they're saying. So
this Daily Business Tracker, I'm going to put it back
up again. Scan that QR code. If you scan the
QR code already and you know that you're purchasing the
Daily Business Tracker, please let us know that now in
the comment section. For those of you that are over

(49:10):
there on audio podcasts and you may not, you can't.
You clearly can't even see what's happening. You can go
to self care Youacademy dot com, or you can also
go to there's a Bitley link and I'm gonna put
that into comment section two because some people like to

(49:30):
go and use the Bitley versus scanning the QR codes.
And the bitlely link is dbt dash now. So it's
https colon forward slash forward slash bit dot ly forward
slash dbt dash now. Because I have audio podcast listeners too,

(49:51):
I know sometimes people are like, why is she spelling
all this stuff out and we can see what's happening,
Because that's because the kim Jacobs Show is now in
one hundred countries and three hundred and fifty million in
households and now on Roku as well thanks to CTR
Media Network. So if you go over here to the
Bitley Link DBT dash now you'll be able to get

(50:11):
that business tracker as well. I just got mine and
let me know in the comments section if you just
got yours as well, or if you're getting yours all right,
So what do you challenge people to do when it
comes to tracking and building the sustainability routine, a routine
that can really be something that works for them? How

(50:32):
do you what do you recommend that we sustain it?
Because I get stuff all the time, but then I
need to implement it, So talk to me.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Yeah, yeah, pretty much. When it comes to that is
really go back to your why. What do you want
to accomplish? And basically when it goes back to your why,
it's okay, what would I need to put in place?
Because one, it's two fold. Your why need you? Your

(51:03):
wide needs you, you know, thinking clearly at your highest
point to be able to make the moves, to have
the momentum, and you know, and anybody and it's not
just life. I mean, it's not just business, but it's
life too, because I've already told you, like what led
me to really be into self care in that, you know,

(51:29):
because of some personal things, because of work, and so
it also helps you with that because one thing with
the tracker is you know it has something in there
regardless what is my attitude right now? You know what
is my attitude rat now? And then it has some boosters.

(51:51):
You know what can I do if I need to
shift my attitude. So the main thing is go go
back to your why and be dedicated because keeping things
in I don't want to say in order, but have
something to go to to help you keep things in

(52:12):
order is really important because by again, we need some things.
We need some things I guess you could say to
help us along the way, and we can't do it
completely about ourselves. And it doesn't mean because I think

(52:33):
there's this thing, there's a pride thing, and there's an ego.
It's like, oh I can remember this, I can do that.
But at the same time, if you try to have
all of this stuff by memory, you're using energy that
you could be using somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
See when everything you say once you say it, I
need to Okay, are you completely present? Yes, that's a
great comment. Take you can take the comment down because
I want to put this up one more time, and
I'm gonna keep putting it up because now I have
a new comment over here from my mom. Where's my
mom's comment? She's like, wait, wait, Kim, did you say
that you just got the tracker or did you say

(53:14):
you got mine? Also? Okay, so we're gonna put the
tracker back up again. I'm give everybody a chance to
scan the QR code again. Okay, in case you're like
me in need, in need to go back and put
a different email address. Let's see. Let's see, so this

(53:35):
time I have to put So that's the whole point.
Maybe you can gift one to a friend. So I'm
leaving it up for a few minutes only because I
want people and you can continue to say something. Even
if you would share and share maybe a success story
of something that someone did that used the Daily Business
Tracker and it was like they came back and maybe

(53:57):
shared some kind of of testimonial or yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
One thing I would say is that I'm gonna use myself.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
I'm like, come on, you're gonna be able to use
me too soon.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
I'm gonna use myself because in one sense, like with
the set, with the daily seven ms, some of them
are already had and then I'm like, let me write
this stuff out. And so once I wrote it out,
I'm like, oh wow, yeah, I have been doing some
of these things. And like for instance, with the seven ms,

(54:29):
it has manifest and market and monetize and with the
last two those are not my strong point. And so
another thing to kind of remember when it's not in
your view, even though you know it in your mind right,
but to be honest, you won't go back to it
and you won't really remember no, no, you know, and

(54:52):
you'd be like, oh yeah. And then for instance, like
when it came to the email, when it comes to
the email, all of us in business, we know that
we need to have it, but we're focusing on this,
but sometimes we may forget about that. So the tracker
like once I put everything, you know, I can't say
every everything, but a lot of the important things in

(55:15):
one spot. And to make myself, especially as a business owner,
and I'm gonna say this, especially for those of us
who are in the wellness community in mental health, because
we don't you know, naturally think of this way, but
we have to think about the business side. It's just

(55:36):
part of it. And so for me, the tracker has
been helpful where it shows what I'm good at, but
it shows what I need to work on as well.
And in order for your mission, your ministry, and your
movement in order for it to really do what it
needs to do. In order for you, you gotta be

(55:57):
honest with yourself. It's not a weakness, is or something bad.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
It just is that's good, that's good. Look at your
phone again, because look at your Look at your phone
one more time, because I just played. Can you verify
that I did place the order for somebody? I placed
the order for my mom too.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
Okay, okay, I'll make sure I do that.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Because so now you have definitely our two. We need
the daily Tracker. And is that a one oh? Is
that a one time charge a month?

Speaker 2 (56:28):
Yeah, it's just a one time charge.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Like wait, wait, wait, I didn't even read it. It's
a one time charge.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
It's a one time charge.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
That is so sweet of you. That's so funny. I'm
over here typing and and like not even knowing, I'm
just like I just know sharing is providing great stuff,
so that so the actual charge is very nominal costs
something that you pay for a cup of coffee somewhere,
and you're gonna get so much more organization in your

(57:02):
life when it comes to a daily business tracker to
help you with your personal your business, and your self care,
all of it wrapped into one. A daily business tracker.
We all need this. Actually, I think the whole world
needs this, So we should all be getting a daily
business tracker. Scan that QR code, Scan the QR code

(57:23):
and put it in your toolbag. There were seven things
that you talked about, and I know we're almost under
tail end, but I do want to just at least
get you to list those seven things that you were
saying before. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
Yeah, last week I was talking about the seven ms
and with the seven ms, and let me look at
it to make sure I don't skip anything.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
And then you know what, they can go back and
watch Freestyle Friday episode too, if you just want to
leave it at that, because that way they stay connected
with you even further. But maybe even just sharing something
that you want everybody to walk away knowing today.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
Yeah, yeah, I'll go ahead and say the seven ms
your mission meditate, movement, manifest, market and monetize because again,
in running a business, we need all of those things
and the thing I want to end up. You know,
we were talking about hustling. We do need some aspects

(58:18):
of the hustling when it comes to even you know,
our movement, our ministry, but we also need to make
sure we input that harmony because your mind, your body,
and your spirit just cannot be on the goal all
the time. And we need you to be completely present
when you show up when you're delivering your message. And

(58:39):
so that's where the harmony part comes in to play,
is to make sure that you are at least trying
to have the standard of being human because we got
to take care of this vessel.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
No Sean, you had so much bottled up inside of
you over there, and so we need I need you
to come back again on another episode where we talk
about the wealthcare preneur piece, because we didn't even talk
about that today. And that's another whole component of what
you offer, because you do this whole infusing of self care, wealthcare,

(59:15):
and healthcare and all of it merged together to be
this beautiful thing of a game changing experience for people. Yes,
how do people stay connected with you, Sharon D. Brown.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
Yeah, One, you can stay connected with me by ordering
the tracker. That's one way you can stay connected with me.
But the other way you can stay connected with me
you can go to my website at self Careyacademy dot
com or also on social media, specifically Instagram at I

(59:50):
am Sharon D. Brown. And again that is I am
sharing D Brown.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
I am sharing D Brown And you all are going
to be yeah, some brown butter body butter. I see
all kind of stuff over there, I know, but I
don't know. I was like, what she man? What is
all of this extra stuff going on over there? So

what she is. And so if you're trying to find
a lovely life, then you have found yourself a good thing,
a very good thing, if you find Sharon D. Brown.
