Hi everyone!

In this episode, YUP! I am at it again...encouraging you to keep going and so that miracle happens in your life.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 10 - "ASFELAGI = IMPORTANT "IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO TAKE A SHORT CUT!"

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi

Hi everyone!

In this episode I am encouraging you to learn this amharic word, "Asfelagi," which means important.

Well, what is important or asfelagi worthy?

It is important to not take "short cuts" in life.

I am preaching this because I have done it especially with dieting and it never truly paid off the way I wanted it too.

Painful hard work does pay off...always.

Today, I have the wonderful benefits of a "lifestyle" change. I eat organic and healthy foods that I cook and manage. I love exercising and stretching. And I volunteer to get out of my head and into my heart.

I am sharing this because I want to be that "good" influence in your life that helps you get to your goal right on time. Shorts cuts in my life were not necessarily a waste of time because I learned my lesson. But, as I believe we are all here to make each other better, I don't want you to waste your time.

So, give yourself permission to do it and live through all the experiences (the painful experiences)! Work hard through the pressure and which is disguised as the privilege. And don't take any short cuts! Take in all the benefits of honest hard work to earn your goal so it is formidable and lasts a lifetime adding joy to your life and those around you. (You will organically and naturally become a "good" influence - her or him!)

So, Let's Do It!... "Season 3," with Episode 10 - "ASFELAGI = IMPORTANT "IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO TAKE A SHORT CUT!"

SEASON 3 EPISODE 9 - "WHEN...WHEN WILL ALL THIS PAINFUL HARD WORK PAYOFF?"

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi

Hi everyone!

In this episode I am encouraging you to trust and believe that all your painful hard work will pay off!!! "You will eventually arrive.

Yes!

Painful hard work does pay off...always.

And is really the test of it all.

Will you continue to do the painful hard work regardless?

We or rather I learned that I had to stop looking for the reward and stay focused on the work getting there. So, the work I did (performed) counted as quality to get me closer to my goal.

I tried over and over again, many times to calculate how much hard work I had to do. I quickly learned I had poor math skills when it came to calculating getting to the finish line. I finally surrendered and just began focusing on the day-to-day tasks (incremental steps) to build my bridge to get there.

Just like I have been saying all along, (the honest truth), my truth is that we have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable for long periods of time while working toward our dream, "Hilam algen or Efelighaw," in order to arrive at our destination our dream.

So, let that warrior come out to win the war and not the little battles in between.

Give yourself permission to do it and live through all the experiences (the painful experiences)! Work hard through the pressure and which is disguised as the privilege.

I know it is painful and frustrating to get there wherever your there is, but that is the only way to arrive at any time in your life.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 8 - "WHY IS THE HARDWORK PAINFUL & FRUSTRATING"

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi

Hi everyone!

In this episode I am encouraging you to stick with IT!

Yes!

The last time we met I was encouraging you to see that you will become "Richer in the Heart!"

Some of you got back to me and questioned why it is so painful and frustrating do the work to get to a beautiful goal. It just doesn't make sense!!!

And my response is that it just is that way. I wish it weren't, but it is.

I suggest for you to remember that we go from "dark to see the light!" Isn't that a beautiful process that we as human beings get to be a part of that metamorphosis?

The honest truth, my truth is that we have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable for long periods of time while working toward our dream, "Hilam algen or Efelighaw."

And, that my friend is the gift! Getting comfortable in your own skin to be true to yourself in accomplishing your goal!

WOW!!! I didn't even see it that way when I started out on my journey.

So, do what God has put in your heart for you to do and, become a "WARRIOR" in accomplishing and living your dreams!

Give yourself permission to do it and live it! Work through the pressure and be thankful for the privilege it brings you to transform yourself into the person you want to be. AND...You will become "richer in your heart!" (that's the gift!)

I know it is painful and frustrating to get there wherever there is, but that is the only way!

SEASON 3 EPISODE 7 - "BE RICHER IN THE HEART!"

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi

Hi everyone!

In this episode I am encouraging you to "BE RICHRER IN THE HEART!"

Yes!

The last time we met I was encouraging you to see and understand "Pressure as a Privilege!"

I know that being under pressure as we understand it is very intense and difficult to deal with. But that is the pressure of working toward your goal which creates your transformation. And that is the privilege, to be able to go through this process and transform yourself, your life!

Also, this process in turn will manifest itself as a "rich heart!"

You gain so much more when you work towards your goal. I discovered the end result was still desirable but what I had become was much more desirable. I didn't need an outside reward to value or validate my being. Instead, I think I made the prize more valuable because of the person I had become.

WOW!!! I didn't see it that way when I started out on the journey.

So, do what God has put in your heart for you to do and, become a "WARRIOR" in accomplishing and living your dreams?

Give yourself permission to do it and live it! Work through the pressure and be thankful for the privilege it brings you to transform yourself into the person you want to be. AND...You will become "richer in your heart!" (that's the gift!)

🎤SEASON 3 EPISODE 6 - "PRESSURE IS A PRIVILEGE!"

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi

Hi everyone!

In this episode I am encouraging you to embrace this quote by the "GREAT" Billie Jean King, "PRESSURE IS A PRIVILEGE!"

Yes, it is!

I know pressure is so very tough to handle and this is the very reason why many people do not accomplish what God put in their heart to do.

It is because of the pressure, which is the hard work, patience, the diligence, and the effort that we have to put in for an uncertain amount of time for a goal that may not be manifested.

Well, that isn't the right way to think about living your dreams...right!

I share in this podcast my love and admiration for my very favorite player, Rafa Nadal, the 14-time French Open champion.

If there is anybody who has been under pressure it has been Rafa. He plays solo in front of crowds risking the fact of being beaten by an unknown player every time.

But then he plays the match, at least 3 sets and under that tremendous pressure making every point he wins and shines like a diamond.

I get so inspired by him and his tennis game and I apply that into my pageant world.

We all inspire each other to live out the dream God has put in our hearts when we are obedient, work hard like a warrior, and learn to treat pressure like a privilege.

Do what God has put in your heart for you to do and, become a "WARRIOR" in accomplishing and living your dream?

AND...transform seeing that "Pressure as a Privilege!"

Give yourself permission to do it and live it!

So, Let's Do It!... "Season 3," with Episode 6- "!"PRESSURE IS A PRIVILEGE!"

Hi everyone!

In this episode I am encouraging you to "BE A WARRIOR NOT A WORRIER!"

Yes!

The last time we met I was encouraging you to be obedient to that passion that God has put in your heart, your purpose.

Let's add to that the mentality that goes with being obedient which is the "warrior" mentality.

Are you already worried? Well, that is the opposite, being a "worrier."

And that is exactly why I am making this podcast. Many of you worry too much and think about how your dreams will fail more than how they will succeed. I used to be that same way. I have learned that way of thinking never helped me accomplish my true goal. It was not a safe place for me to be (playing it safe...huh?)

I want you to be the person who listens to themself and plows ahead on the road to your achievements without listening to those who are trying to slay you with deadly words and actions.

Do what God has put in your heart for you to do and, become a "WARRIOR" in accomplishing and living your dream?

Give yourself permission to do it and live it!

I share about how many folks may think that my activity and participation in pageantry is foolish and maybe ego gratifying for me. But honestly it is not. 

I actually hate the narcissism with all the selfies and photographs that are required. I personally and ABSOLUTELY enjoy meeting and greeting people with hope, love, joy and excitement. 

I understand the power of being the wearer of the "crown"...you get the blessing of spreading positivity and hope in your community and hopefully for me the world.

Hi everyone!

In this episode I am encouraging you to "DO WHAT YOU WERE BORN TO DO" - "TRUST YOURSELF!"

Yes! 

Many of you have seen my, "Last  Dance" video of me dancing to that Donna Summer's classic 70's disco song.

That really was a special moment for me. It was the culmination of my life story of always wanting to be center stage performing as the queen sharing my heart, spirit, and joy of life. 

There were so many God miracles compiled into that dream dance like buying that mirrored jumpsuit and platform heels for Elvis night, being trusted to finish the choreography on my own, trusting my hair and makeup team as well as just being all together ready at the right place and right time with the right mindset and maturity.

Also, that belief to be true to myself to pursue my heart and passion of pageantry. I was born to do that, and I just needed to trust myself that night to perform.

I recently posted the quote "Do what you are born to do. You have to trust yourself," crediting Beyonce. She is inspiring as she truly represents a woman who is authentically unapologetically true to herself!

Hi everyone!

In this episode I am encouraging you to live your dream! 

Yes! LIVE YOUR DREAM!

I did just that and I share with you about a friend of mine who is no longer with us, but she did it ALL! This is not a "live or die" challenge, this is about "going and growing."

I learned through living my dream I grew my soul and my spirit. I became more confident and forgiving of other people's lack of understanding of my dream. They are still my friends and I love them, and I think they may love me more because I stuck to my goal.

My message is that by living your dream is that we all grow and become better. Isn't that what dreams are for? I certainly think so.

I LOVE PAGEANTRY! And, I am proud to say now more people do too!

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi

Hi everyone!

In this episode I am encouraging you to live your dream! 

Yes! LIVE YOUR DREAM!

I did just that and I share with you about a friend of mine who is no longer with us, but she did it ALL! This is not a "live or die" challenge, this is about "going and growing."

I learned through living my dream I grew my soul and my spirit. I became more confident and forgiving of other people's lack of understanding of my dream. They are still my friends and I love them, and I think they may love me more because I stuck to my goal.

My message is that by living your dream is that we all grow and become better. Isn't that what dreams are for? I certainly think so.

I LOVE PAGEANTRY! And, I am proud to say now more people do too!

Let's do it... "Season 3," with Episode 2 - "Going & Growing" - TAKE YOUR CHANCE!

XOXO
Rhonda...

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi

Hi everyone...I am back!

Yup! I definitely wanted to return to continue my journey, our journey of growing together and making this world a better place.

We know that it takes incremental steps and that we always have to try to do our very best. So, here is another incremental step I am taking while God had a plan for me to take a huge leap forward and travel across the US as "Mrs. American 2021!"

OMG!!! I am humbled and just so grateful that I made my little mark of success in pageantry. I have been wanting to do that for the last 30 years. Only God could plan this happening in my life at 53 years old.

So, I hope that you plan to continue listening to me and that I provide something fruitful and beneficial into your life so you can accomplish your heart goals and heal too.

Let's start "Season 3," with Episode 1 - "Intention" - MY PLAN & GOD'S DETOUR

XOXO
Rhonda...

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi.

Wow! This is the agreement that I work so hard every single day to live by..."The 4th Agreement," "ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST."

Just recently my life has been so greatly fulfilled by my past efforts of putting the energy to do my very very very very BEST. I had another story to tell but that is no longer relevant as to this new development in my life that I just have to share. I am the new National titleholder, "MRS. AMERICAN 2022!"

Many of you may recall that I placed as 1st Runner-Up as Mrs. California at the National pageant where all the states compete for the national "Mrs. American" title. I poured my heart, my soul, my everything into winning that title but I came up short. But really did I by placing 1st Runner-Up? I felt in my heart, and I could swear I heard God whispering that this was my destiny. I was confused why I was home without the title after performing so well and many people believing that I would win.

While I was home my father-in-law who I mentioned in this podcast did pass away. In fact, his funeral was the day of the international pageant that the winner was competing in. That night after the funeral of course, I tuned in to watch all the countries compete for the Mrs. World title. Well, it turns out God's plan was for me to be "Mrs. American." She won the international title of Mrs. World making me next in line to assume the title of Mrs. American!

The lesson is to always just always practice the 4th agreement by always doing your best. If I had not done my best to place as 1st Runner-Up I would not have been able to assume the role of becoming the first woman in the state of California to hold the Mrs. American national title, the 1st Mrs. American for my pageant director, the 1st Black woman to win a national title in the state of California, the 1st Black woman to win Mrs. American, the 1st to win from Orange County, the 1st to win representing Palm Springs....and so on and so on! I am humbled and so honored.

My trick to implementing the four agreements in my life is to practice the 4th agreement because if you are always doing your best then you have to practice all the other agreements too.

We have the tendency to make assumptions? Why do we think we are the boss and understand what really happened or what is really going to happen?

Assumptions in my opinion are based on our wisdom and experience of our reality (our dream) we are living in our life. Sure, your mom KNEW without checking that you were the one who ate the last cookie or that you didn't clean your room. This is based on your mom knowing your habits AND, "She is your MOTHER!" But, you are not the MOM to others out there in the world. And, just because we as Americans share the same values doesn't mean we all like "STEAK."

Honestly, I was embarrassed a couple of times of accusing someone of something that they had nothing to do with. I just saw them with that same person more than twice so I asserted that they "MUST BE!" AND, even more, troubling I told someone and they told someone, and so on. I hurt that person. AND, I hurt myself and my credibility. I really felt so badly and I realized that I needed my word to be "IMPECCABLE" (REMEMBER THAT?)

Do you see how all these agreements work together in unison keeping our side of the street clean? I am a much better person because I "ASK" before I "JUDGE" and before I "SPEAK". The serendipity of this agreement is that my friends come to me more for advice and counsel. I remind them to pause and to not make assumptions but to find out the "FACTS" and the "TRUTH."

Take a listen to this short episode and challenge yourself to stop "MAKING ASSUMPTIONS."

Oh Boy!!!, this is such an important agreement. My gosh, if you and I get this one we will become invincible. This agreement is what kryptonite is to Superman!

Follow me...okay. The Four Agreements explains how we are all domesticated. That means we have been socialized to "BE" the type of human beings we need to be to keep order in our society. That is my short explanation. So, we operate like a computer with conditional statements that run our hardware in our minds which dictate our behavior. So, we have this reality we have created which Don Miguel explains MUCH better than I can that we are living a "DREAM." Yes, we have this idea of how reality is supposed to BE, GO, and EVOLVE. So, when our reality gets shook up it triggers us to reflect and deflect everything back to us, "ME."

Yes, we are all a bit of a narcissist. Own it! I will. As we get older most of us learn that the world does not revolve around us. But, even we tend to think that maybe we had something to do with IT.

So, IF we can remember that everyone is living in their heads in their own dream then we can make the conscious choice when we get offended not to blame ourselves whether it is good or bad. ...RIGHT???

Take for example and this actually happened to a friend of mine. We were walking to a restaurant for dinner. A car with some rowdy teenagers yelled to my friend, "Hey fatty!" She was so hurt and our fun dinner turned into a counseling session for her. Believe it or not, but that insult was not about her. In fact, it was about that teenager who feels so badly about their appearance that they had to target someone else with meanness to make themselves feel better. Those two people had never met and don't know each other at all. But, that random comment from a complete stranger turned my girlfriend's world upside down. Of course, I told her to not take it personally, but she could not do that.

Remember that old nursery rhyme, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." If we could all get to a place where we could be strong enough to know that what people say GOOD or BADcomes from their reality, perceptions, and upbringing we could be invincible instead of carrying around those insults from the present and the past that are NOT meant for us.

This is a POWERFUL POWERFUL POWERFUL agreement. "Don't take it personally!" You will see immediately how weak you are AND you will find your POWER and become STRONGER!

The first agreement is "BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD."

What is an agreement? Do you even know that you have made agreements in your life that are causing you to SUFFER, to FAIL, to be SELF-LOATHING, and JUDGE YOURSELF as ugly, fat, wrong, and bad?

This is my understanding of the agreements...REASONING AND RATIONALE I ACCEPTED AND ADOPTED IN MY PAST...THAT I LIVED BY IN MY PRESENT LIFE/REALITY...AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE IN MY WORLD...

It starts in all of us as a child...we are sponges for information to learn how to assimilate into the world. I didn't know I was Black and that it was WRONG and BAD and WORSE OFF because I am aWOMAN that I was NOT going to be as smart, as pretty, AND suffer with horrible hair. My plight in LIFE was going to be "10" times harder. I know what you are thinking, but that was MY TRUTH, my condition...MY AGREEMENTS I accepted as a child that continued through adulthood. Those agreements were backed up by society with TV shows like, "The Jefferson's"...who were "MOVING ON UP!"

What agreements have you made about yourself, your culture, what you consider to be ugly or beautiful? Have your agreements changed or are you pretty much the same and, this is why you are unable to transform yourself, attain your goals, or just simply be happy?

Consider this.....BEFORE YOU SPEAK, ANSWER A QUESTION, and REPLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA...ASK YOURSELF...IS IT KIND? IS IT HONEST? IS IT NECESSARY? If you can't answer "YES" to at least "2" of those questions, then you have NOTHING to say. Being "impeccable" with your word is speaking to the Universe and into the world which creates your reality and how others treat you and manage your life.

WORDS CREATE REALITY...Your reality is what you are and what you become!
This is a BIG one to understand and it is so REAL and LIFE CHANGING. This is as INSTANT transformation as it gets! You will discover how much you hurt others and hurt yourself. You will discover that you can STOP that behavior IMMEDIATELY by making this very first agreement. You WILL transform yourself.

LET'S GET STARTED!!! "Be impeccable with your word!"

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi. 

There is a book that is only about 125 pages and that is all you need to read to being your journey of personal freedom. "The Four Agreements" written by Don Miguel Ruiz is more than a gift; it is a miracle.  When I started practicing the "4" agreements immediately my burdens began to lift off my mind and shoulders. I began to stand tall with goals and the hard work to make them come true. 

Come on, some of you surely have heard of this book as Oprah and Ellen are "HUGE" fans!

THE FOUR AGREEMENTS ARE:

1. BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD

2. DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY

3. DON'T ASSUME

4. ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST.

If you are struggling and you want the quick fix, I really think this is it if you make these agreements and practice. I can't believe I am saying this but I am saying this!

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi.

Hi! and WELCOME BACK! It's Rhonda The GOOD Influence - HER. Now we move on to the last of THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS - "LUST".

THIS IS OBVIOUS AND NO SHAME...RESPECT YOUR BODY AND YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR SELF-RESPECT.

LUST in my opinion is a powerful feeling which can PERSUADE you to decide to get involved in regrettable situations with other people. I don't like regrets. And, I don't trust many people. I am a very guarded person. I have not been in many relationships. In fact, I have loved Eric and been in love with him for 32 years plus.

Now, this is good because you have my point of view of someone being in a long-term relationship. It is not easy but you learn to value loyalty and trust which are crucial to your own existence. If you can't trust anyone or be loyal to anyone then who are you?

I have friends who have cheated on each other time and time again. Most of the time it just takes one time of cheating that creates long-term resentments and problems in relationships. My friends are constantly on the mend as they fight and makeup annually. It is very difficult to stay together after an affair. It is very difficult for people like me and my husband to be friends with them when we know they are constantly struggling with infidelity.

**The point is "WHY???" Why are you cheating and disrespecting your body and your relationship? The answer I believe is that you have an insecurity or rather a hole in your soul. It is not your partner's fault...it is "YOU" the cheater with the problem.

This is why I challenge my friends before they stray to think about the consequence of self-respect; respect your body.

I hope this next episode gets many of you struggling with lust to consider what you are doing to your body, your mind, and your soul. You know what the right decision is. Stopping hurting yourself and the people who care about you and love you. Start loving yourself by simply respecting your body.**

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi.

Hi!... We are going to talk about the 6th SEVEN DEADLY SIN on my list, "SLOTH"...

This is such a good one for all of us. Sloth really is all in your mind. You have to get busy living. Get into the process of life and stop thinking about the prize. Live, Love, and Laugh! So many of us "give up" and "give in" way too so before the miracle happens. Then we let time pass us by and it makes it seem like we are a bigger failure. Honestly, failure is a part of succeeding. Stop placing such a heavy value on failure and put that "HEAVY" value on your spirit that has dreams of doing great things. This is all in your mind! So, make up your mind to NOT be lazy anymore and GET UP and GET STARTED!

Take your first step by listening to the story of my father-in-law who is 87 years old LIVING with a terminal brain tumor. Yes!, he is LIVING with terminal cancer and working and exercising and LOVING his family more than ever. It is never too late to get up, get started, and get into your life!

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi.

Hi!... We are going to talk about the 6th SEVEN DEADLY SIN on my list, "SLOTH"...

This is such a good one for all of us. Sloth really is all in your mind. You have to get busy living. Get into the process of life and stop thinking about the prize. Live, Love, and Laugh! So many of us "give up" and "give in" way too so before the miracle happens. Then we let time pass us by and it makes it seem like we are a bigger failure. Honestly, failure is a part of succeeding. Stop placing such a heavy value on failure and put that "HEAVY" value on your spirit that has dreams of doing great things. This is all in your mind! So, make up your mind to NOT be lazy anymore and GET UP and GET STARTED!

Take your first step by listening to the story of my father-in-law who is 87 years old LIVING with a terminal brain tumor. Yes!, he is LIVING with terminal cancer and working and exercising and LOVING his family more than ever. It is never too late to get up, get started, and get into your life!

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi.

Hi!... We are going to talk about the 5th SEVEN DEADLY SIN on my list, "WRATH"...

Wrath to me is an explosion of uncontrolled feelings of anger and rage. Underneath wrath, there can be deep hatred. Wrath can certainly cause individuals to seek vengeance on others. This results in violence that can cause injury to others as well as yourself. And, injury to yourself can manifest as self-destructive behaviors such as drug abuse and suicide...AND THAT IS WHY IT IS DEADLY SIN!

I share with you 2 instances where I was so on the verge of chewing out a couple of defense attorneys' and how fortunate I was to NOT do that to learn that anger is a signal that a miracle is on its way. YES! It is so true. It takes a lot and I meant a lot of self-control to be able to be at that pinnacle point of anger to be self-aware to NOT explode and trust that something really good is going to happen.

So, take a listen to what happened to me and try to remember a time in your life that you regret getting angry only to find out that there was something wonderful brewing in God's plan for you!

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi.

WOW...DID you catch the title?

Yup, a High School Friend who I supported through thick and thin...literally...shouted out across the High School cafeteria...in fact, it was a set-up so everyone could laugh at my expense...HE said, "Hey, Rhonda skip a meal." OMG!!!

I had a second burrito in my hand heading for my mouth to take a big bite. I had no idea a group of boys was watching me eat. I thought I was discrete taking a second burrito so my cover was blown.

What hurt was that the comment came from a boy I trusted, praised, and supported. This CAUSED me to have serious trust issues and to cut off my emotions....NO MORE FEELING ANYTHING UNLESS I HAD TOTAL CONTROL.

I have an eating disorder. I love Food! I am a GLUTTON. I used to be bulimic. IT'S BEEN DECADES SINCE I HAVE DONE THAT and I AM SO PROUD OF MY RECOVERY!

I was a chubby child. I have always been warned that I was going to be a BIG FAT BLACK WOMAN (like that is the worst thing in the world to be.) The adverse effect of being told that is that I am NOT a BIG FAT BLACK WOMAN...I am a size 0.

I have what many people are suffering from today is "FOOD INSECURITY." I was never sure if there was ever going to be enough food on the table for me and my family growing up. I am embarrassed to share this, but that is the truth. We struggled with housing, food, and money....we were not the "The Brady Bunch" that I IDEALIZED with a maid named Alice who cooked and cleaned. Don't get me wrong there was love but a lot of struggle that I tried to hide to be the perfect girl.

So, being a GLUTTON WITH FOOD was now a journey of eating for pleasure and cutting off feelings with and for humans...I did not want to feel any emotions.

"GLUTTONY"...THE FOURTH ON MY LIST OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS...(Latin: gula) is the overindulgence and overconsumption of food, money, sex, etc... to the point of excess waste. The root word comes from the Latin gluttire, to gulp down or swallow.

So, I was NOT feeding my soul or nourishing my spirit. I am being this candid because I know, I just know that I will connect with you on a deeper level so you can see that you can recover, learn to love yourself, forgive others, and live the life of your dreams or better! This is how I believe I am a "GOOD" influence in your life by sharing my truth.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi.

Hi! and WELCOME BACK! It's Rhonda The GOOD Influence - HER.

Greed (Latin: avaritia), a sin of desire. greed an artificial, rapacious desire and pursuit of material possessions.

I know you have all heard this saying ..."Less is more and MORE is LESS"...more or less RIGHT...LOL.

In the past, in my immature mind, I would rationalize AWAY this saying to be WRONG!!!... How could you not more want and need more and more and as much money as possible...RIGHT? AND, LESS of anything can leave you UNPREPARED AND INSECURE. AND, I would give you a laundry list...food, money, homes, clothes, cars, time, life...sounds right...to a 16 year-old.

SO, MY RATIONAL...was to live by the motto..."MORE IS MORE AND MORE IS BETTER AND GREAT! LESS IS DUMB AND STUPID."

I was greedy. Although, in my mind, I felt like I was being practical. I don't come from money and I saw, experienced, and lived by putting pennies together to make a dollar. Remember that saying make a "dollar out of 15 cents...lol.

Let's talk about how greed is really about you not feeling that you are enough because you are!

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi.

Hi! and WELCOME BACK! It's Rhonda The GOOD Influence - HER. I really appreciate you!
Thank you for buying my little green book; 10% of the proceeds of "The GOOD Influencer - HER", "The Unbreakable Person" goes toward research and education to the AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION.

I bet when the word Envy first pops into your mind you think of "GIRLS BEING JEALOUS."

Ok, while that is true, to me that is surface stuff and silly stuff....being envious is a much DEEPER fight within yourself...YES! THAT IS RIGHT WITHIN YOURSELF and ME TOO!

I believe if you are envious you are experiencing self-hatred" and "self-loathing." I will admit that I have been envious. Of course, I have been. Honestly, we all have been envious in this world of comparisons that we live in. We are all constantly fed images of what is perfect, right, wrong, ugly, poor, rich, etc.....we can't help it.

But, it is HOW YOU PROCESS that information and what you DO with it.

You have CHOICES! You can feel badly about yourself and let it dissolve you and make you feel like nothing. You can let it eat you up inside and become very hateful and BEGIN the journey of controlling your environment. Or, you can feel badly and decide to WORK on yourself to gain that advantage. Or, you can NOT LET it affect you at all...that one is tuff (this is Maslow's Level 5 of Self-Actualization.)

WOW...ENVY IS DEEP TROUBLE.

So, I hope you listen to discover hope to get rid of being envious.

Hi! and WELCOME BACK! It's Rhonda The GOOD Influence - HER. Thanks again for finding me on Spotify and Podchaser. The new world of podcasting is just so vast and ever-expanding.

We are diving into Part One of Season 2..."The Seven Deadly Sins"....and we begin with "PRIDE"

I want to ask you, "have you ever been in a conversation with someone and it turns out that you are NOT having a conversation BUT that you have become an audience member?"...LOL. That has happened to me so many times. And, you THEN find yourself standing there and just stuck for minutes on end that seem like an hour of listening to that SAME someone talk about themselves and more about themselves. And.... they get you to AGREE that what they are saying about themselves is "REMARKABLE," "TRUE," AND..."FASCINATING AND MAGICAL!" And, THEN you find yourself promoting that person as an exist strategy to get out of that conversation. BUT, that fails...UGH! Yes, these are "Energy Vampires"...draining your daily battery...slurping away your vitality. And, when they finally walk away from you they are so filled up with positivity leaving you abandoned with your feelings and emotions totally depleted of all your electrolytes...and here is another... AND...YOU ARE PROBABLY UPSET TOO!

This is what happens when you have a "run-in" with a prideful person...this "Pride" working at its very best. So, we are going to talk about why those "Energy Vampires" do that and how they are shaping their reality that they live in with your words that they get you to SAY and ACT by....this is powerful because our words and what we say can shape the reality we live in. Let's explore why....here we go.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Mahatma Gandhi.

Hi! And, WELCOME BACK! It's Rhonda The GOOD Influence - HER. I am thrilled to be back. I had a nice restful break. I hope you did too. A lot of great things happened as I kept making those incremental steps. I wrote a book. YUP! It is the first edition of this podcast, "The GOOD Influence - HER, "The Unbreakable Person." And, after this season is complete, I will add this second season for the second edition to the book and so on. I like taking small steps...(laugh.) The book only costs $5 bucks and 10% goes to AFSP - The AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION. The GOOD Influence-HER - is a "GIVE BACK PARTNER" for the Orange County California Chapter. And, I want to give a shoutout to those positive people and say "#duckduckHope".

In Season One, we covered a lot of ground by taking small steps, transforming painful experiences into the best part of our lives by applying Wabi Sabi & Kinstsugi, salutations, detaching and doing nothing, and accomplishing our goals with the metaphor "a pile of laundry" to keep things really really really simple. And, we also climbed to the peak of a pyramid, Maslow's Pyramid of Needs.

So, now on to Season Two....The title or themes of Season Two seem wicked as I read them back to myself, "The Seven Deadly Sins and The Four Agreements." But, not at all (giggle.) I want to talk about "What makes us react and respond?" Specifically, about the way we express ourselves, the way we talk about ourselves basically shows and tells others how insecure we are. I am hoping to get you to see what you say and how you say it creates your reality.

I want to show you how what you say directs people to direct "your reality." This is big...so let's get busy talking about that...here we go.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," says Gandhi.

Hi, it's RHONDA, "The GOOD Influence - HER."

Yes, this is me! You know this if you have subscribed and listened every other week to my podcast. This is what I say at the top of all my shows. I am so proud of myself. I am unapologetically me! I did it all on my very own. I came up with the concept, wrote all the shows, found my theme music, and did all my own editing. I was brave and bold enough to accomplish this goal because I used Maslow's Pyramid of Needs to be my guide to get me to the top at Level - 5, "Self-Actualization".

Level 5 is Maslow's peak where the ultimate exists, "Self-Actualization". Maslow describes self-actualization as a realization of one's full potential to accomplish everything that one can become the most that one can be. This is your personal choice of the best version of yourself that you want to be in life. If you desire to be the best teacher, sailor, runner, chef, or rocket scientist then you are consumed and exude that goal throughout every cell of your being. I like to think of it as being "unapologetically me", the "unbreakable person". So, what others think about what you are doing with your life good or bad doesn't change or shatter your opinion about your goal. You are empowered and don't need to be fueled by anybody but your belief.

Hi! It's Rhonda..."The GOOD Influence - HER."

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Gandhi.

Level - 4 is "Esteem", Maslow defined self-esteem as respect, status, recognition, freedom, and strength. This is the level where I learned about what respect, self-esteem, recognition, strength, and freedom really are to me in my life. Do you need accolades and recognition? Or, are you beginning the journey of gaining authentic self-confidence and self-respect? How self-confident are you? I'll answer it for you or whether I'll answer it for myself, we need both. I know I like to be acknowledged at some point for the work, time, and energy I have given to help others, it can just be a simple thank you. And, there are times that I am strong enough to be the bigger person and know my self-worth and value in a situation. What is lovely at this level is that I can support someone else and congratulate them on their work. So, there is a fusion of "high' self-esteem and the "low" version of esteem. This is a great place for self-examination and to build more of your higher self-esteem value so you can reach the top of Maslow's Pyramid.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Gandhi.

Level - 4 is "Esteem", Maslow defined self-esteem as respect, status, recognition, freedom, and strength. This is the level where I learned about what respect, self-esteem, recognition, strength, and freedom really are to me in my life. Do you need accolades and recognition? Or, are you beginning the journey of gaining authentic self-confidence and self-respect? How self-confident are you? I'll answer it for you or whether I'll answer it for myself, we need both. I know I like to be acknowledged at some point for the work, time, and energy I have given to help others, it can just be a simple thank you. And, there are times that I am strong enough to be the bigger person and know my self-worth and value in a situation. What is lovely at this level is that I can support someone else and congratulate them on their work. So, there is a fusion of "high' self-esteem and the "low" version of esteem. This is a great place for self-examination and to build more of your higher self-esteem value so you can reach the top of Maslow's Pyramid.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Gandhi.

Hi! It's Rhonda, The GOOD Influence - HER.

With my physiological needs and safety needs met I have newfound freedom to discover the things I love to do and to work with people who share my passion. This is the glory and benefits for me working up to Level -3 of Maslow's Pyramid of Needs. The camaraderie I have with my friends in the AFSP organization is so just so fulfilling for me. I can't imagine my life without what I have experienced these last 2 months since becoming a volunteer.

I share this because you can imagine the opposite of what I just described is loneliness, social anxiety, and clinical depression. There are so many people who are suffering from depression, loneliness, and anxiety. I know all too well those feelings of hopelessness and despair.

Take a quick listen to this soundbite and get a taste of the good life you will be experiencing from working up "Maslow's Pyramid of Needs.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Gandhi.

Hi! I'm Rhonda...The GOOD Influence - HER. What are safety needs? Maslow says safety needs are personal security, emotional security, financial security for your well-being. Manifestations of these are long-term employment such as job security, health insurance, savings or retirement accounts, disability policies; do you have these protections? The common theme is "security". What Maslow is saying is that we are living "insecure" lives. Are you one of those people whose paycheck is completely spent before the check is even printed and nothing goes into a saving account? Are you working a job that offers no health benefits or life insurance benefits? Are you in over your head and upside down in a 30-year mortgage? Ten years ago, my answer was yes to all of those questions.

In this episode, we continue on to discuss Level 2 "Safety Needs". I think you're going to instantly understand why creating and securing your safety needs propels you to the next level. I discovered the key to building level two was to consider my worth. I had to go from questioning "Am I worth it?" to "I am worth it!" For some reason, I accepted struggle as a part of my daily life. It seemed if I didn't struggle there was no value in the end prize. I can only describe it as some sort of melodramatic soap opera I was living. If I easily attained a goal it had less value than an accomplishment that I could live to tell about. I had to rewire my thinking to believe that "I am worthy". I read somewhere in one of Maya Angelou's books that "abundance is our birthright" and that was the concept I needed to claim and own if I was to build a solid Level 2 foundation.

Hi! It is Rhonda...The GOOD Influence - HER.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Gandhi.

Air, water, food, shelter, sleep, clothing, and reproduction are all Physiological Needs that MUST be met in order to be successful. I truly believe this and agree with Maslow. Let me explain why I am passionate about people NOT taking for granted the power in solidifying that ALL of your physiological needs are met. Growing up in California it was not common for a Black family to be a homeowner. My family rented nice houses in very nice communities to show me and my sisters a better way of living. What backfired was that I became insecure about shelter. I never felt safe that my bedroom or bathroom was actually mine. I lived in fear that we would have to pack up, move, and start over and over and over. I spent more time and life living in fear with this shelter insecurity and it bled over into food insecurity, an eating disorder, which led to lack of sleep and tremendous stress over decades of my life. See, my well-being and freedom, and joy of life was stolen. I needed to get that back. Using Maslow's Pyramid of Needs, I realized that it was normal to feel insecure because this need was NOT met. Today, my need for permanent shelter has been twice fulfilled with no mortgages hanging over my head. I own me! I feel so blessed to have this freedom and many other freedoms. This is what I want to share with you, my experience, strength, and hope in this podcast so, you can claim your freedoms too. I am so excited to share with you the value of building a formidable foundation. If you do this, I truly believe will be life-changing.
Again, I am also adding a link below so you can view a short "review" video on Maslow's Pyramid.

Hi! It is Rhonda....The GOOD Influence - HER.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Gandhi.

I think most of us have heard of Maslow's Hierarchy Pyramid. I know I did in High School and again in college. It made sense to me but it did not resonate until I found myself scrambling paycheck to paycheck to pay rent, buy food, clothes, make a car payment, find a boyfriend to turn into a husband, and of course, worry about having kids. Oh...and paying back my college loan.

Is it coming back to you now? This is that pyramid of levels from bottom to top that explains what "needs" need to be met in order to be at the "TOP", the "APEX", the "ZENITH", the "APOGEE" or the "CAPSTONE" of your life.

We are going to deconstruct Maslow's Pyramid and hopefully, I can put it into more real life terms so you can determine if you are really climbing up the pyramid to reach your full potential or are you solving your life like playing with a Rubic's cube?

We will walk up each level "step-by-step" in a separate episode. So, keep tuning in to all my social media outlets to stay on track and follow me as your guide.

We are doing this because this literally turned my life around in the right direction! I stopped fighting reality and became very successful not only financially but most importantly emotionally. I really started to love life and enjoy life. I want this for you. And, I want you to be a "GOOD" influence too.

I am also adding a link below so you can view a short "review" video on Maslow's Pyramid.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." ` Gandhi

Hi! It's your friend Rhonda, "The GOOD Influence - HER".

What do you think about climbing a pyramid? This is my application of Maslow's Pyramid of Needs. I feel you have heard enough and we are at that place where we have arrived to really get our footing onto a better life. I want to get even more real with you about how I got my true freedom to be...raison d'etre...my reason for being. I explained earlier in episode one that I used to take big steps and I have a lot of accolades to prove my success. But, I did not feel successful and that sense of self-fulfillment. I knew I needed to fill this void. I went back to basics and remembered Maslow's Pyramid of needs. I learned a lot about myself. On paper, I was solid, but in reality, I had a hole in my soul. So, here is an introduction to Maslow's Pyramid of Needs.

I think this is what you are looking for if you are ready to turn your life in the direction you want it to go. This is not easy although it may seem simple and obvious. But, once you build your first two levels on a formidable foundation, I really don't think you can be stopped...not even by your own self-sabotage to reach your goals. Success is up and over the pyramid...so let's start climbing.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," says Gandhi

Hi! It's your friend Rhonda, "The GOOD Influence - HER". I want to use this episode and this spot in season one to take a "time-out" and share how and why I started this podcast. I know it is important to share my fears and faith in stepping outside of my own comfort zone...that's what this is all about. I have to "practice what I preach"...right. Many of you know I worked in television and radio hoping to become a big star but as I continued in the business I quickly learned it was not my purpose. I made the right and hard decision to leave the industry. So, for many years I have been looking for the right outlet to use my experience and the talent I built up. But...creating this podcast was not as easy as you think it would have been for me. I had to...I mean I had to revert to one of my favorite tricks of the trade to create these shows and this entire season. I have to keep things really really really simple in order to stay on track and make it to the finish line without self-sabotage. I use metaphors. And in this instance, I used my "Pile of Laundry" metaphor. I know...I know it sounds silly and weird for a professional to use. But, I am telling you the truth. I am human with fears, goals, frustrations, and dreams. In this episode, I want to encourage you to finish that goal in your life...your purpose. Don't allow it or let it pass you by. Use my method to get it done and be proud of yourself. I know, I am so proud of myself. And, most importantly, I feel like I can do more. I want you to have that wonderful feeling of accomplishment too!

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," says Gandhi.

Hi and Hello again... it's Rhonda, "The GOOD Influence - HER".

Episode 4 - "DETACH-DOING NOTHING...UM...THINGS CHANGE WHEN YOU CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE THINGS."
None of us are immune to having our personal and professional boundaries violated. It happens to all of us and, the higher up we go in life it seems to happen more frequently. So, how do you or can you effectively handle a multitude of individuals and situations like this? I do it by applying these simple concepts of "Detaching" and "Doing Nothing". Yes! I know engaging one-on-one with someone who annoys and irritates me is nothing but trouble. In fact, you know that too. This is no secret. Most of us are told to be confrontational and stand up for ourselves and talk to that person. However, the danger in that is that we are probably very emotional. And, acting on emotions create negative outcomes and more painful experiences in our lives. I want to share with you a couple of real-life experiences where detaching and doing nothing not only solved the problem but helped me to see things differently. I love this saying, "Things change when you change the way you see things." So, let's change the way you see things and create some magic in your life.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Gandhi.

Are you turning into that person? That person who has somehow decided that it is not important to greet people and, even most of the time your own family members. Do you say hello, thank you, and goodbye to everyone you encounter on a daily basis? Be honest.

We are living in a strange time with COVID-19, but all the better to challenge us to be better. We can not allow wearing a mask to be another layer of social distancing causing us to lose touch with communicating with one another.

I am here to remind you of the tremendous power that you and all of us possess by just acknowledging others which in turn reflects positively on you. That is "un petit acte of karmic positivity". How do you feel when someone acknowledges you in the room and makes the effort to say hello and thank you and, also goodbye to you? Well, I feel important and significant to that person. And, it lets the other folks in the room know that I am here and I worthy of respect. That is the tremendous power we have to give and to receive.

Don't miss the opportunity to be that person who receives that good positive karma. So, be that person who is engaged putting in the small effort to create the life you want to live. It really always starts with the smallest steps. Make the choice and commitment to start saying hello, thank you, and good-bye and, be consistent. Be a GOOD influence!

This is a quick and easy episode that I am positive you just needed to be reminded of the power you already know you possess.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," says Gandhi.

It is time for a golden life lesson about holding on or keeping a negative list the punishes your very steps forward. Maybe it is your perception about how important of a part those bad experiences really play in your life. Have you heard of the ancient Japanese terms "Wabi Sabi and Kin Tsugi?" Well, I hadn't until a year ago. I have to admit that I have been carry around some baggage all these years. I will own it and I am working on releasing it so I don't have to waste any more time and life feeling bad about what happened.

I hope you join me just for 10 minutes to get some insight on how you can better see those bad events as your marks of perfection! Please check out the links on one of my favorite websites about Wabi Sabi and Kin Tsugi.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," says Gandhi.

If you are a person who has tried and probably read a lot of self-help literature and you really have put in a lot of effort over time, but you don't have those authentic lasting results you want. I want to invite you to just listen for 10-15 minutes once every other week. Learn how to take small steps, make small changes, and make "you" time. The biggest mistake people make when trying to change is taking "big" steps that lead to enormous pressure and self-destruction. Trust the process of committing yourself to take small steps that add up to those big steps that make that authentic change you want in your life. I talk about taking negative "pet peeve" situations and turning that into positive energy and motivation. Consider the amount of time you have spent being frustrated over the last year over a situation and where that time could have been better spent. If you have spent 2 hours daily being frustrated over the past 10 years that shockingly adds up to "10 months" of life lost. The best example in 2020 is COVID-19. Were you one of those folks who worried every single day or were you that person who realized their power during the pandemic? No one is perfect and that is the value in seeing the value in taking and making small changes. Carve out the "you" time and I hope you listen and enjoy my experience, strength, and hope. I want you to find your power and become empowered!

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," Gandhi.

I love this quote; it gets right to the heart of the matter, "You MUST BE"! At "The GOOD Influence - HER" podcast, I hope to help you align your thinking, actions, and reactions to promote the highest quality in your life. I don't have a quick fix, but I have honesty. If you are looking to make that change just take 5 minutes or 10 minutes a month to listen to my experience, strength, and hope. I have a BA, BS, and Mater's Degree. I am a Meteorologist, former TV Weather Anchor, radio personality, Homecoming/Beauty Queen, made a lot of money, owner of an Administrative Law Firm, and a person who suffered from suicidal ideations. As I am being brave and bold with this podcast, I hope you will be brave and bold to be the change you wish to see in the world. It starts with you and nobody else. Be accountable for your happiness and learn how to see the positive in everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0PKWTta7lU
