2:06
Speaker 1: Energy, okay, going for you.
2:08
Speaker 3: So I'm feeling centered today, like I feel like when
2:14
Speaker 3: I say centered, I also mean alignment. And I think
2:18
Speaker 3: that's important as a creator, as a human being, as
2:21
Speaker 3: you know, a woman, a god, or y'all watching a man,
2:24
Speaker 3: a guy, whoever you are. I think it's very important
2:26
Speaker 3: for people to get to a place of centering and alignment.
2:29
Speaker 3: And I will say that I've realized that that looks
2:33
Speaker 3: different at different levels, phases and times and seasons of
2:37
Speaker 3: your life.
2:38
Speaker 1: But you use the.
2:38
Speaker 3: Same tools to get back to the things, like to
2:41
Speaker 3: keep the main thing the main thing, but it changes.
2:44
Speaker 1: Does that happen with you sometimes?
2:45
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Just suggesting just being able to kind of like
2:48
Speaker 4: go with how everything else is moving.
2:50
Speaker 1: You know, Yes, adjust when you need to.
2:53
Speaker 3: And that's a big part of this episode, episode eleven,
2:57
Speaker 3: New Levels, New Devils, adjusting when you need to. And
3:00
Speaker 3: now let's get into some of the trending topics. I
3:03
Speaker 3: want to start out talking about some legal drama. So
3:08
Speaker 3: you know, your girl love to take y'all a court,
3:11
Speaker 3: lot to take y'all a court. Okay, So DMX's estate
3:15
Speaker 3: has been in a very long term intellectual property feud.
3:20
Speaker 1: Now this feud is over control over his estate. So
3:24
Speaker 1: currently Desiree Lyndstrom, who is who was DMX's fiance at
3:29
Speaker 1: the time of his passing. Her and dmxi's ex wife, Tashira,
3:34
Speaker 1: who we all know, uh, you know, DMX spent decades
3:39
Speaker 1: of his life with Tashier. She is the mother of
3:41
Speaker 1: you know, his kids. Desiree is also the mother of
3:45
Speaker 1: his last kid, his son. But they've been in this
3:49
Speaker 1: back and forth battle. Now the battle again.
3:51
Speaker 3: I mentioned that he died without a will, so there
3:54
Speaker 3: has been some conversation just about who has ownership and
3:58
Speaker 3: what that looks like over his state, which ultimately is
4:01
Speaker 3: his legacy as an artist. So a judge ruled recently
4:06
Speaker 3: that DMX's ex wife, to Share has no ownership over
4:10
Speaker 3: his music rights or trademarks. Now, in twenty sixteen, to
4:14
Speaker 3: Share claimed that a divorce settlement that her and DMX
4:18
Speaker 3: had entitled her to fifty percent of DMX's intellectual property.
4:22
Speaker 3: Now that would mean that she would be able to
4:23
Speaker 3: make decisions on things as far as like licensing and
4:26
Speaker 3: you know, just a lot of a lot of things.
4:28
Speaker 3: And y'all know you know, after DMX passed away, I
4:31
Speaker 3: think that there was like there was such a want
4:33
Speaker 3: and a need for people to learn his story, learn
4:36
Speaker 3: more about him. I think a lot of us. He's
4:38
Speaker 3: my favorite rapper. I listened to how it was going
4:41
Speaker 3: down every single day.
4:41
Speaker 1: If you really know me, you know this.
4:43
Speaker 3: It's like a common fact amongst anybody who actually really
4:46
Speaker 3: knows me. As I've gotten older, I went from looking
4:49
Speaker 3: at DMX as this rapper who was so hot and
4:51
Speaker 3: lost it on, like oh my god, like a failure story,
4:53
Speaker 3: to that's a story of you know, encouragement and courageousness
4:58
Speaker 3: and just the talent of DMX and how he saved
5:01
Speaker 3: death Jim and you know, all of that stuff. People
5:04
Speaker 3: want to hear more about that, They want to see
5:05
Speaker 3: more about it. So anybody right now that is deemed
5:09
Speaker 3: in control of the you know, the rights to be
5:11
Speaker 3: able to tell his story, to use his likeness to
5:13
Speaker 3: very hot commodity. So the court declared that DMX's estate
5:18
Speaker 3: is going to remain exclusively the owner of all of
5:20
Speaker 3: his copyrights, his trademarks, and anything else that is tied
5:24
Speaker 3: to DMX's name and work, including those created during his
5:28
Speaker 3: marriage with Tashira, this was a big blow so to
5:32
Speaker 3: Share and DMX were married from nineteen ninety nine to
5:34
Speaker 3: twenty fourteen. I watched the interview that Sashia did with
5:38
Speaker 3: Carlos King. I know she also did a sit down
5:40
Speaker 3: with me a Belle for BT Talks, and she has
5:44
Speaker 3: a book out right now. Her book is all about,
5:47
Speaker 3: you know, her life for real, her upbringing.
5:50
Speaker 1: Who she is. But DMX and their love.
5:53
Speaker 3: Story played a huge role in a lot of that
5:57
Speaker 3: because of the amount of time they spent together. For me,
6:00
Speaker 3: when I thought about DMX, his legacy, his life story,
6:03
Speaker 3: and who would be in control of it, I just
6:05
Speaker 3: naturally always thought that it was to cheer. But then
6:08
Speaker 3: we found out that he died with no will, so
6:11
Speaker 3: he didn't get to make that decision for himself. So
6:13
Speaker 3: a judge is basically saying, like tashar, no, we're gonna
6:17
Speaker 3: put it over here. And Desiree, who would have been
6:19
Speaker 3: his Mexican once he passed away, because they were together,
6:22
Speaker 3: she is now in control now. Desiree posted on Instagram.
6:26
Speaker 3: You know this was three days ago when the ruling
6:28
Speaker 3: came down.
6:29
Speaker 1: Patrick. What does her Instagram paption say?
6:31
Speaker 4: I'm overwhelmed with emotions. Sasha and I who run the
6:35
Speaker 4: state at forced synally for so long to protect Earl,
6:38
Speaker 4: his legacy and his art. Now justice has finally been served.
6:43
Speaker 4: The court's decision is more than just a legal win
6:45
Speaker 4: in a moment of peace in the middle of so
6:48
Speaker 4: much pain.
6:49
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:50
Speaker 3: So, I just remember the time period, and I remember
6:53
Speaker 3: there being conversation or background reports. Again, it's this all
6:56
Speaker 3: alleged and reportedly that Tashira sent into a big DMX's
7:00
Speaker 3: wife for some time and mother of his kids.
7:02
Speaker 1: And Desiree were not seeing out of eye on a
7:06
Speaker 1: lot of things.
7:07
Speaker 3: Now I read to you guys what Desiree said on
7:09
Speaker 3: her Instagram after this ruling came down. I actually reached
7:13
Speaker 3: out to a rep for t Shira who sent me
7:16
Speaker 3: a statement from Tshira on this whole thing. The statement said,
7:20
Speaker 3: from to Shira, this evil is too big for a statement.
7:23
Speaker 3: I'll be sharing everything with the world on my upcoming show.
7:26
Speaker 3: So she has a show that she's you know, coming
7:28
Speaker 3: out with again. I mentioned to you guys that she
7:29
Speaker 3: also dropped a book. But in this ruling, another part
7:34
Speaker 3: of the dispute was centered around there's these like five
7:37
Speaker 3: letters of direction that DMX signed before his death, so
7:41
Speaker 3: there was no real will, but there were these letters
7:43
Speaker 3: that DMX before his death tried to put into place
7:46
Speaker 3: so that, you know, people could have something to like
7:48
Speaker 3: guide themselves by. And here's the catch, though, Tashira was
7:54
Speaker 3: basically saying, okay, based off of our divorce, you know,
7:58
Speaker 3: in our marriage like agreements in these five letters, I
8:02
Speaker 3: should be entitled to ABC and D.
8:04
Speaker 1: A judge looked at those and said no.
8:07
Speaker 3: According to these five letters that dmxign before his death,
8:10
Speaker 3: they only gave these letters only gave instruction about royalty
8:14
Speaker 3: payments to be split with to share for specific recordings. Now,
8:17
Speaker 3: these recordings that the judge is referencing were made between
8:21
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety eight and twenty thirteen, so during the time
8:23
Speaker 3: of their marriage. Basically, this was you know, DMX's way
8:26
Speaker 3: of ensuring that she would get money from certain things
8:30
Speaker 3: that he had done while they were together. But it
8:32
Speaker 3: didn't ensure and it doesn't ensure ownership or like leadership
8:37
Speaker 3: or say so over something as big as the estate.
8:41
Speaker 3: So as y'all can imagine, this is a devastating hit
8:44
Speaker 3: for Tashira. But Desiree, you know who was his you know,
8:47
Speaker 3: new life partner was his new life partner at the time.
8:50
Speaker 3: Of course, she's looking at this as a win because
8:52
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody in this those two women who
8:54
Speaker 3: love him and if he was here, he wouldn't want
8:56
Speaker 3: them to be beefing, you know what I'm saying. So
8:58
Speaker 3: I think for both of them are like, Okay, this happened,
9:01
Speaker 3: We got to turn the chapter. But there will be
9:03
Speaker 3: more coming out about this. As you guys heard from Tashia,
9:05
Speaker 3: like you know, it doesn't seem like she's done talking
9:07
Speaker 3: about her side of things and what that back and
9:09
Speaker 3: forth was. But the biggest thing to me here is
9:12
Speaker 3: the fact that these women got kids, their kids are siblings.
9:15
Speaker 1: They gonna have to figure this on out.
9:19
Speaker 2: Now.
9:19
Speaker 1: Topic number two Wendy Williams.
9:21
Speaker 3: This week, there were a ton of stories and reports
9:23
Speaker 3: that dropped around Wendy Williams this week. So on every
9:27
Speaker 3: ninth there was a story that broke that Wendy Williams
9:30
Speaker 3: was denied the ability to do dinner with her niece
9:32
Speaker 3: in her attorney Joe Takapina. Now for background, and the
9:36
Speaker 3: reason why this is so crazy is because probably about
9:39
Speaker 3: a month ago, I reported on the fact that the
9:42
Speaker 3: judge in Wendy Williams situation made it very clear that
9:46
Speaker 3: Wendy was allowed because you remember Wendy came on or
9:49
Speaker 3: and I came on, but she called into the breakfast
9:51
Speaker 3: club and she said, y'all'm in a prison. I can't
9:53
Speaker 3: go now where I can't see nobody.
9:54
Speaker 1: Y'all know.
9:54
Speaker 3: I went to where she's stay. They wouldn't let me
9:56
Speaker 3: up to see it. They wouldn't let her down to
9:57
Speaker 3: see me. The conservatives and the judge came out and said, no,
10:01
Speaker 3: she's allowed to see family, she's allowed to go out.
10:03
Speaker 1: She's very monitored. So then this story breaks.
10:06
Speaker 3: On on April ninth, that Wendy Williams is not allowed
10:11
Speaker 3: to do dinner with her attorney and her niece. So
10:13
Speaker 3: her new attorney, her personal attorney, Joe Takapina a sapt Joe,
10:17
Speaker 3: he just you know, defeated you know, the prosecutor's office
10:20
Speaker 3: and got asap Rocky off on those gun charges. It
10:26
Speaker 3: makes no sense. It's like at her niece, it's her attorney, Like,
10:28
Speaker 3: why not she's been able to move around with her
10:31
Speaker 3: other attorney when she had the black woman a personal
10:33
Speaker 3: attorney that she had been you know, talking to so
10:36
Speaker 3: it made no sense. And then after that we then
10:40
Speaker 3: saw photos literally like I think this was like the
10:42
Speaker 3: eleventh So a few days after this, we didn see
10:45
Speaker 3: photos of Wendy out with Don Lemon and her niece
10:50
Speaker 3: Alex Finney, which is weird because it's like, Okay, why
10:53
Speaker 3: can't she do dinner with Alex in her attorney, but
10:57
Speaker 3: she can do dinner with Alex and Don Lemon? It
11:00
Speaker 3: almost is given, like Okay, wait, is the conservativeship trying
11:03
Speaker 3: to block Joe Tacopina out at least because they can't
11:07
Speaker 3: control Wendy's calling them you know what I mean, things
11:09
Speaker 3: like that, but trying to block him out as much
11:11
Speaker 3: as they can. And the reason why people are like, hey,
11:14
Speaker 3: is this should we be worried? Is this retaliation against Wendy?
11:17
Speaker 3: Is because not only did the judge and the conservativeship
11:20
Speaker 3: come out and say Wendy's allowed to go out and
11:22
Speaker 3: do dinner with her niece and you know these people
11:23
Speaker 3: as it's approved now TMZ broke this story. But we
11:26
Speaker 3: had been you know, and I say we like the
11:28
Speaker 3: Breakfast Club, We had been in a know of this
11:30
Speaker 3: for some time that Joe Tacapina was approached by the
11:33
Speaker 3: conservator who wanted Joe Tacopina to represent Sabrina Morrissey in
11:39
Speaker 3: this A and E lawsuit. So instantly, when you know
11:42
Speaker 3: all of that background and you see that he can't
11:44
Speaker 3: do dinner, or from what it looks like reportedly, he
11:47
Speaker 3: can't do dinner, you're like, is this a retaliation thing?
11:51
Speaker 3: Especially after a judge came out and said, you know,
11:54
Speaker 3: they didn't like the fact that Whendy was speaking to
11:55
Speaker 3: the media. They allowed Sabrina Morrissey to talk on record
11:59
Speaker 3: when she wasn't allowed to talk on record for a
12:01
Speaker 3: while about the conservatorship because they felt like she talking
12:08
Speaker 3: but from our standpoint, what she's alleging is not true,
12:12
Speaker 3: So they let Sabrina come out to clarify some things.
12:14
Speaker 3: There was a letter that was sent, you know what
12:16
Speaker 3: I mean, There was There was a lot of different
12:18
Speaker 3: things that happened, so you could tell the judge was
12:19
Speaker 3: pissed off. The same week that all this happens, the
12:22
Speaker 3: denial for the dinner, her being able to pop out
12:25
Speaker 3: with Don Lemon. It is then reported that Wendy Williams
12:28
Speaker 3: is in court and a judge allegedly tells Wendy Williams.
12:31
Speaker 3: Your career is over and it's not coming back, so
12:34
Speaker 3: give that up, which sounds very personal, which the judge
12:40
Speaker 3: is not a person that works in entertainment. I will
12:43
Speaker 3: tell y'all my own self from me being, you know,
12:46
Speaker 3: just close to this situation. I don't think that these
12:50
Speaker 3: people knew who Wendy Williams was to us in the
12:54
Speaker 3: beginning of this. I think that they realized that when
12:56
Speaker 3: she did the Breakfast Club interview. They realized that, and
12:58
Speaker 3: you know the interviews that came after that, But I
13:01
Speaker 3: don't think that they understood who Wendy Williams was, you know,
13:04
Speaker 3: just culturally right. So I reached out to Joe because
13:07
Speaker 3: I'm like, look, Joe, I need to know what's going
13:09
Speaker 3: on and why does this look like this is retaliation?
13:12
Speaker 3: Here on the Latest with Laura Rosea the podcast, I'm
13:14
Speaker 3: telling y'all from what I'm being told, how it looks
13:17
Speaker 3: is not exactly what it is, and it needs to
13:19
Speaker 3: be explained a bit more.
13:21
Speaker 1: On the Breakfast Club. We're gonna do that.
13:22
Speaker 3: Joe Tucapina is gonna call in during the last with
13:24
Speaker 3: Lawna Rosa and he's gonna clarify this because right now,
13:27
Speaker 3: we feeling like our girls being targeted and I don't
13:29
Speaker 3: don't I don't know about y'all, but I don't like
13:31
Speaker 3: that right wrong, aren't different. I think anybody that is
13:35
Speaker 3: in a situation where they are like almost like helpless
13:39
Speaker 3: because of their mental capacity there like just sold many things, y'all.
13:44
Speaker 3: Like I I've told y'all multiple times, I'm a caregiver
13:47
Speaker 3: my mother and my grandmother. I wish somebody would you
13:51
Speaker 3: leaning on the fact of what they cannot do. And
13:53
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that this is what the judge is doing.
13:55
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, guys, how it feels and how it
13:57
Speaker 3: looks to Wendy's fans and her audience, which is why
13:59
Speaker 3: you keep asking me to provide context.
14:02
Speaker 1: And we are going to do that tomorrow morning on
14:03
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. So you got the little breakdown here.
14:06
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, guys what I've been told as far
14:08
Speaker 3: as like when we put all these reports together, make
14:11
Speaker 3: sure you tune in to Lace with Lorna.
14:12
Speaker 1: Rosea on the Breakfast Clup tomorrow and we'll clarify.
14:14
Speaker 2: Now.
14:15
Speaker 3: There's one thing though, I did want to mention Don Lemon.
14:18
Speaker 3: He has you know, his show that he does on
14:20
Speaker 3: his YouTube channel now after leaving CNN, but he has
14:23
Speaker 3: this like written newsletter that he does on substack. I
14:26
Speaker 3: thought that this was really good, especially in lines of
14:28
Speaker 3: what we're talking about today of like, you know, new levels,
14:30
Speaker 3: new devils, being able to just kind of like adjust
14:33
Speaker 3: and grow and feel and just how that flows and
14:37
Speaker 3: how that makes you feel. Patrick, can you read that
14:40
Speaker 3: first graph from me from a don limit Substack.
14:43
Speaker 4: We don't talk enough about what it means for women,
14:45
Speaker 4: especially women in the spotlight, to age on their own terms,
14:49
Speaker 4: to be seen without being picked apart. There's this outdated
14:53
Speaker 4: idea that if you're not chasing youth, you're letting yourself go,
14:56
Speaker 4: But what if you're just letting yourself be?
15:00
Speaker 3: Now that to me that hit home, especially in recapin
15:02
Speaker 3: it's whole Wendy Williams situation and just you know where
15:06
Speaker 3: I'm at today as we're recording and when he talks about,
15:10
Speaker 3: you know, women being seen without being picked apart, there's
15:14
Speaker 3: an outdated idea that if you're not chasing youth, you're
15:17
Speaker 3: letting yourself go, But what if you're just letting yourself be?
15:20
Speaker 3: To me, it's not even about a number of an age.
15:24
Speaker 3: It's about chasing a trend. It's about, you know, feeling
15:28
Speaker 3: like you gotta fit within this box or just check
15:30
Speaker 3: a box for things to work out. And I know
15:33
Speaker 3: from my own personal experience that you do, especially if
15:37
Speaker 3: you're a woman, you feel like if you're not the
15:40
Speaker 3: hottest topic and everybody's not like everything's not all good,
15:44
Speaker 3: it's all bad and it's not. Sometimes being able to
15:47
Speaker 3: sit in things and sit in life experience and going
15:49
Speaker 3: through the things and doing it in front of people
15:52
Speaker 3: is tough. It is really tough to learn and grow
15:55
Speaker 3: and all that here on this platform with you guys
15:57
Speaker 3: in front of the world. But the record, like the
16:00
Speaker 3: reckoning that you learn from doing it, and for where
16:04
Speaker 3: Wendy is right now in her life, Me and Charlemagne
16:06
Speaker 3: and Wendy went out to dinner with her with her
16:08
Speaker 3: niece Alex and there were some things that she said
16:11
Speaker 3: to us that I was just like man number one,
16:14
Speaker 3: I don't want to have to go through some of
16:16
Speaker 3: the things she went through to get to this point
16:18
Speaker 3: of reckoning. I want to be able to catch you early.
16:21
Speaker 3: But also it was just like man, that was deep,
16:25
Speaker 3: Like Wendy's different right now. The way life will sit
16:29
Speaker 3: you down and humble you. But that era of just
16:32
Speaker 3: being is so good, and I'm excited to see that.
16:34
Speaker 3: Judge said her career is over. I don't believe that.
16:36
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see what Wendy comes back with and
16:38
Speaker 3: does once she gets through all of this and figures
16:40
Speaker 3: it out, because you know it's gonna be some hiccup.
16:43
Speaker 3: Just real quick. I saw this video of Serena Williams
16:46
Speaker 3: on my timeline. She had sat down with People magazine.
16:49
Speaker 3: She did an exclusive chat with People magazine. She was
16:51
Speaker 3: at the she was at like a beauty shopify like
16:55
Speaker 3: pop up, and they were talking to her just about
16:59
Speaker 3: being the let's take a.
17:01
Speaker 5: Listen your boss.
17:03
Speaker 2: What does it cost you and.
17:05
Speaker 5: Has it been worth it?
17:07
Speaker 4: Yeah?
17:07
Speaker 5: It definitely costs a lot. I'm here now without my kids,
17:10
Speaker 5: and that's a big cost for me because I spend
17:11
Speaker 5: a lot of time with my children and they're very
17:13
Speaker 5: attached to me, which a pardon it loves and so
17:17
Speaker 5: it's always, you know, some costs my whole life. I've
17:19
Speaker 5: had to kind of way like, if I want to
17:21
Speaker 5: win a championship, well, what is that going to cost me?
17:24
Speaker 5: It's going to cost me time, with my family. It's
17:26
Speaker 5: gonna cost me friends instead of cost me relationships, and
17:30
Speaker 5: they're very expensive. We have decided it's worth it for you,
17:32
Speaker 5: and so I definitely.
17:33
Speaker 1: Agree with that.
17:34
Speaker 3: Saym let me tell y'all something. Go on, watch our
17:38
Speaker 3: vlog on my YouTube channel, Laura La Rosa TV. We'
17:42
Speaker 3: vlogged every time we record an episode on a Sunday,
17:45
Speaker 3: We're going vlog it. And I've been doing vlogs on
17:47
Speaker 3: my YouTube channel for a minute. But I was like,
17:50
Speaker 3: I was like, yo, it's nine o'clock. I know my
17:51
Speaker 3: grandmother's going to sleep. I'm not using not being able
17:53
Speaker 3: to talk to my mom and my grandmother every day,
17:55
Speaker 3: but because things have changed where I have so much
17:57
Speaker 3: more going on now these last couple weeks, it's been
18:00
Speaker 3: happening and it's been tearing at my heart because, like
18:03
Speaker 3: Lord knows, they depend on hearing from me and depend
18:07
Speaker 3: on me so much.
18:08
Speaker 1: When I saw this video, I was like, oh.
18:11
Speaker 3: My god, I feel seen like I like I hear her,
18:16
Speaker 3: but I also it made me think about so much,
18:19
Speaker 3: like because family time and the things that make her
18:22
Speaker 3: feel full, it's literally like that's her sacrifice for where
18:26
Speaker 3: Serena Williams is in her career today. But I remember
18:29
Speaker 3: when Serena Williams made the decision to like step away
18:32
Speaker 3: from tennis and focus on being a mom and a
18:34
Speaker 3: wife and all of these things.
18:36
Speaker 1: People were like, Yo, she crazy she did. But it's
18:38
Speaker 1: like I think people in general.
18:41
Speaker 3: I don't think it's just women that have to pick
18:43
Speaker 3: and choose and have the sacrifice and make things better
18:46
Speaker 3: and to you know, level up the way that they
18:48
Speaker 3: want to. But I do think that it hits women
18:50
Speaker 3: harder because a lot of times we are the backbone,
18:54
Speaker 3: like in a nurturing way, like men are the backbone
18:57
Speaker 3: as a provider financially as a strength, but women in
19:00
Speaker 3: a way that we provide as a backbone. And it
19:02
Speaker 3: was strength and nurturing and we have the kids, were
19:05
Speaker 3: taking care of home. It's so much, it's so different,
19:09
Speaker 3: like sometimes it halts us. It's like you have to
19:11
Speaker 3: choose between the things. And these last couple of weeks
19:15
Speaker 3: for me, I've been not good at choosing between the
19:17
Speaker 3: things until I was like, you know what, I'm gonna
19:19
Speaker 3: take control back.
19:21
Speaker 1: I am.
19:22
Speaker 3: Charlemagne said something to me last week that made me
19:25
Speaker 3: be like, who what we were talking about? You know,
19:28
Speaker 3: just some decisions that he makes day to day in
19:30
Speaker 3: his career when it comes to doing things he doesn't
19:32
Speaker 3: want to do. And he was telling me a story
19:34
Speaker 3: about you know, you know, him making a choice and
19:37
Speaker 3: being like, in the moment, I don't want to do this,
19:39
Speaker 3: so why am I doing it? And he just didn't
19:40
Speaker 3: do it, and I was like, well, you can do
19:42
Speaker 3: that because you're Charlemagne, the god Louren l Rosa is
19:45
Speaker 3: still building. I'm trying to get to my cost to
19:48
Speaker 3: be the boss moment, like Serena Williams. I'm figuring it out.
19:52
Speaker 3: And he was like, yeah, but like you can still
19:54
Speaker 3: choose and I do things you don't want to do.
19:57
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, you're still at a
19:59
Speaker 3: sp where you can make that choice and it creates
20:02
Speaker 3: a pattern and a rhythm of what people will bring
20:04
Speaker 3: to you and what you allow to happen.
20:06
Speaker 1: And you should do that.
20:07
Speaker 3: You should set that boundary now because if not, you're
20:10
Speaker 3: gonna find yourself in the space of doing things you
20:12
Speaker 3: don't want to do and just fall into the motional
20:14
Speaker 3: things and sacrificing things you don't want to sacrifice. You
20:16
Speaker 3: have to sacrifice, But y'all get my gist of what
20:19
Speaker 3: that conversation was. So when I saw this video and
20:21
Speaker 3: I thought about all the topics I wanted to do today,
20:24
Speaker 3: I thought about how different it is for me. Like
20:27
Speaker 3: I'm a young creator, it's twenty twenty five. I've been
20:30
Speaker 3: granted the opportunity of platform. I've been blessed to be
20:33
Speaker 3: in a space where I can curate what this looks like,
20:35
Speaker 3: what this feels like, and how y'all get it from me.
20:37
Speaker 3: So my sacrifice is going to still have to be
20:40
Speaker 3: sacrificed some time. I'm not gonna get back. So I
20:42
Speaker 3: thought that this video was a great way to end
20:44
Speaker 3: the show because again, it makes me think of so
20:47
Speaker 3: many different things. It makes me feel so many different
20:49
Speaker 3: ways too.
20:50
Speaker 4: So what we takeing away from episode eleven, Laurn.
20:52
Speaker 3: So from episode eleven, we're gonna take it, you know,
20:56
Speaker 3: for the tweets, for the tweets segment. You're gonna bring
20:59
Speaker 3: this whole thing to get their new levels new Devils,
21:02
Speaker 3: I had tweeted a couple of days ago. Every level
21:04
Speaker 3: of growth requires change and adjustment. And when I think
21:08
Speaker 3: about like Wendy, I feel like she sacrificed her ability
21:10
Speaker 3: to really live for career, like to really really live
21:14
Speaker 3: life for her career. And you know, she's in her
21:17
Speaker 3: readjustment stage because she's learning now that just being and
21:21
Speaker 3: sitting still and being able to live and remember that
21:24
Speaker 3: everybody's living too. That's her new phase of career. Serena
21:28
Speaker 3: Williams had to sacrifice her family, but now in her
21:31
Speaker 3: new life, she's prioritizing family, the things that make her
21:34
Speaker 3: feel whole. DMX's family, as I mentioned, had to on
21:37
Speaker 3: so many different levels sacrifice the ability to adjust because
21:43
Speaker 3: he was young, he was figuring it out. Resources were different.
21:47
Speaker 3: Up until the day he passed away. I think things
21:49
Speaker 3: were just still figuring and it was new levels and
21:51
Speaker 3: new devils and new people and knew all of this.
21:54
Speaker 3: And you know, like today, in this episode and just
21:58
Speaker 3: in this moment where I'm at today, what I've learned
22:00
Speaker 3: is that adjustment is necessary.
22:01
Speaker 1: You can't escape it. But in learning that, I'm feeling
22:05
Speaker 1: like a sense of.
22:06
Speaker 3: Like renaissance from this episode of you know, I want
22:11
Speaker 3: to make a way. I want to make a space
22:12
Speaker 3: for those people who are adjusting in real time, learning
22:17
Speaker 3: to live in real time, learning to utilize their resources
22:19
Speaker 3: in real time, but not always getting it right because
22:21
Speaker 3: we're not gonna always get it right. And when we don't,
22:24
Speaker 3: use that as an inspo. Baby, that's the vision board,
22:27
Speaker 3: that's the pinterest, that's the move board. Use that refuel,
22:30
Speaker 3: come back stronger than ever pop out, you know what
22:33
Speaker 3: I mean.
22:33
Speaker 1: Like, we don't gotta in today's.
22:35
Speaker 3: Time, you don't have to fully lose grip before you
22:37
Speaker 3: figure it out.
22:39
Speaker 1: And if you do, talk about it, share it. That's
22:42
Speaker 1: the beauty of where we're at right now.
22:43
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, there's always a lot
22:45
Speaker 3: to talk about and you guys, y'all could be anywhere
22:48
Speaker 3: in the world talking with anybody about it, but you
22:51
Speaker 3: choose to be right here with me, and y'all know,
