Lets be honest.. always having and keeping the hope and faith isn’t easy. Waking up each day and being resilient, staying positive in the face of numerous setbacks, and frustrations is and can very well be hard, it can be draining. How much more resilient do we need to be? How much longer do we keep trying, doing, going at what we want while everything around us dares to keep us at bay. Staying strong isn’t easy, it’s often hard trying not to give up or give in, and that’s where hope and faith come in. So how do we balance the burnout and fatigue we’re facing? With rest. Allowing ourselves to relax, stop being so hard on our self, and just taking a break. Because having hope is admirable when you recognize how long you have been keeping the faith, despite what you are getting. So relax, let go, and listen in as we go over the necessary steps we need to acknowledge on our road to whatever we are working on , all while being honest and admitting…that sometimes we do need to take a different approach to being able to keep the faith and hope alive. You got this. We got this.

In this episode? I revisit the day I lost my mother. What that meant and means for me and how I’m grateful to be able to persevere through. How life can change in a blink of an eye, how we can hold on to the good and not the bad, how thats not always easy, but worth it. My hopes? that you are able to be reminded that you aren’t alone in this fight for happiness. To be encouraged to fight what ever battle you may face in any loss of someone you love, or anything you’ve ever had to let go of , and that you’ve survived 100% of the days you thought you couldn’t. Whether it be trauma, pain, grief, loss; death, dying & bereavement is never easy. I hope that you continue and/or begin to seek out the necessary resources to heal, to never give up, and to shower yourself with the love, grace, and support to continue to get through. I love you and I hope that in this episode you can find a way to smile as well. Because we all deserve to be happy ; for life isn’t easy, but we got this. And sometimes that means, crying, shouting, letting go, and? Running into who we need to be. Because diamonds are made from pressure. And Pearls well they’re made from irritants. So shine, listen, love and lets heal. Because we deserve to enjoy this thing called life, even though it gives us so many reasons not to. Again I love you , and thank you for listening.

In this episode we get realer.. and ish get deep. This episode is about leaving people right where they had you F’d up at. About creating and implementing boundaries, allowing your self to not be the sum of your circumstances nor whatever was sent to destroy you. Keeping and finding your peace. Being undeniably you . Keeping the faith, never giving up, and stop letting people play with you. To create them boundaries, and let them and them people, places and things be. You are your biggest priority. Stop catering to people who look to walk over, take advantage of , manipulate, gaslight and/or people who are bent on misunderstanding you. Leave that toxic relationship, habit, job, people, place and Go be you, Go do you! Life is too beautiful to be spending it in or with people , places, and things that don’t appreciate you, or respect you. You got the power. You better reintroduce people to your rules. To your true you. And what you need. Go treat you right, and do right. Don’t bend , don’t fold, dust yourself off and come back better than ever. The world got enough of monsters it don’t need another. Sh*t be real. But you are realer, you are greater. Now lets tune in..You Got this... Now lets get it !

In a world full of people telling you who you should be and what you should do. DO YOU. What is doing you? For starters, doing you is different for everyone; with some of us, sharing similar qualities, traits, interest and more. Yet doing you, is about letting go of the need to fit in whatever proverbial box people want you to be in so that they can feel comfortable; because no one likes uncertainty and discomfort for the most part that is. This episode is about challenging your own beliefs about who you may think and/or feel you need to be and giving your self permission to be free from the constraints and restraints put on you by life. So lets stop letting life place limitations on us, and push full steam ahead with going after yours ( as long as its not hurting anyone , you know). So dare to do it, and I hope this episode can no only inspire you yet offer you support and encouragement to do that thing. Whether it's getting a new job, learning how to cook, playing an instrument, creating music, playing a sport, sewing or what have you. If that thing is a business? allow your self to be coachable and ready to learn, apply and grow. Everything wont be easy, but at least at the end of the day when its all said and done? you can say Im glad that I decided to do me, and be proud. Because that is something worth celebrating; and hey you never know maybe you shock not just your self but the world. So do it. Create that art, create the podcast, make the music, study to be a doctor, a nurse, a skilled swimmer, an entrepreneur, dare to shatter the limiting expectations others may have of you and as Nike would say: “JUST DO IT!”

Listen in as I give an impromptu editors take and account ahead of Episode 4 aptly titled:
“Creating A Legacy : Talking Life Insurance and Policies W/ Guest Daryl Dasent of North Western Mutual”
I wouldn’t say this Editors Note is a prerequisite requirement to listening to Episode 4, but I would like to say that it would be dope ( and perhaps helpful) if you listened in at some point to this, for me? preferably before the episode listed. To me? Its a systematic and synchronous flow So without further ado …Let’s Do it!

This episode is about focusing on the things that are important in a more free and relaxing way; about letting go and doing our best to not allow ourselves to get overwhelmed.
Its about finding a way of peace and being peace, even when situations, circumstances, events, and life is determined to make us feel very much so aggravated, or overwhelmed. This episode is about the silver lining .
Things can get real in and around us and and ish is real, but let’s allow ourselves to no longer see all the reasons why something can’t or won’t , or hasn’t worked. Nor give attention in an adverse way to how everything can or may be out of sync and whacky; even if it unfortunately is for the moment.
This episode ? Is not only about giving ourselves permission to relax , let go, have faith. Yet breathing through, seeing ourself through, allowing ourselves to be perfectly imperfect on our way to letting our selves be better . To see and have better in a healthy and productive way .
Now woossaahh and let’s do it.

This episode is about letting Go and allowing your self to be great, to no longer be the sum of your experiences. To Remember who you are, and whose you are. To allow your self to have and be what makes you happy, and how do you know what makes you happy? By spending time with you , being honest , taking ownership and accountability, taking stock with yourself about what makes you happy; what WILL make you happy. Having the confidence, will, and strength , to be your greatest you. To no longer be held captive to, hold on, or be held to the restrictions, confines , limits and expectations that others, and/or your environment , or circumstance have or have been trying to put on you. To hold you to. You are not your circumstances. This episode? Is about freedom. Understanding that yes, we all may very well have every reason to be upset; yet that you? that I? that we? all deserve to be happy. That we may not be responsible for how people, places, and things have hurt or tried to hinder, or limit us. But that we are (unfortunately and theres fortune in unfortunate as I’d like to say, ) responsible for healing, and helping ourselves, freeing and vindicating ourselves with the help of our power source( for Me God). That with the help of resources, people places, and things we can help our healing and recovery on our journey to being our better self. Our greater selves. This episode? Is not only about putting down the baggage and no longer subscribing to what our past or our circumstances tried or try to make us, but about being our very own Superman and superwoman with God, with the Divine, with Life. And Deciding that all things are going to work for our good, because they are. That we are here , breathing living, a survivor, a warrior a tough cookie , Now lets be Great(er). I love you , if no one told you today, and if they have? Add a little bit more of mine and yours. Remember not only to tell your self something nice, yet do something nice for you today. And if you can? A small act of kindness(which goes a long way); you get to decide what that will be just like you get to decide who you want to be. Be blessed! Stay safe! Be Great! Again I love you , I love you, I love you! And In the words of Nike. “ Just do it”

In this editors take which is a post follow up, to the first episode . I acknowledge my own fears and anxieties , my feelings and sentiments that came with the conclusion of it. I also acknowledge and take accountability and ownership in understanding and accepting that I too can and have been a distraction as well. That if the shoe fits you wear it, and sometimes that shoe can be uncomfortable. This episode like many is about ownership and accountability, “checking” yourself and be honest and open, recognizing that often times we’re talking about ourselves, or past selves, or even current, and future selves. But the goal to not run from the truth , be willing to change, to show ourselves and others some grace. This episode is not only about clarity, and the aforementioned thoughts. Its also about saying hey I do or I have done that ishh too and Ive got some work to do as well. That Im not perfect nor without fault, and That that work to change? Isn’t and isn’t always a bad thing, a comfortable thing, but its a great thing. Especially when its for the better. Now lets grow.

With so many things going on in the world , its easy to not only not know what it is we need to be doing, or working on, or what we even need to be doing ? Theres so many things looking to distract us. Whether phone calls, video games, television, news , friends and family, social media and the likes you name it. Its important to disconnect and unplug at times, give ourselves time to relax, and release. Sometimes? we could use a distraction or two” to get our minds and hearts off of things we have been fixated on and need a break from. Not all distractions are bad, most of them are though when looking to obtain a goal, complete a mission, and or fill in the blank. This episode is about being distracted when we have a purpose , and or plan and staying focused. I also want you to have balance, freedom and relaxation. Guard your heart and know when and when not to allow things to deter you. To guard you’re heart, yet also also your heart to be open and and available. To people , places, experiences and things that will help you grow, learn, heal and progress forward. Remember to use your best judgment, and discernment. To be honest. And to Let Go and Let God. And remember communication and comprehension goes a long way. Communicate and set boundaries . Be blessed! Stay Safe!
