- 0:05SPEAKER_00: Get it, got it, girl.
- 0:11SPEAKER_00: One more time.
- 0:13SPEAKER_00: Get it, got it, girl.
- 0:20SPEAKER_00: Now, last time we sat here in the emptiness.
- 0:23SPEAKER_00: And for some of you, you may have just listened to that episode.
- 0:26SPEAKER_00: So I understand if you're still sitting in the emptiness, you can pause this and listen to it when you're feeling like maybe you're done sitting in your emptiness or your pause.
- 0:36SPEAKER_00: It's up to you.
- 0:37SPEAKER_00: So I realized I sat with it for three hours.
- 0:40SPEAKER_00: And then I started to get some more ideas.
- 0:42SPEAKER_00: So I just wrote them down on the paper because I'm really trying to find a space for this and just keep it that way.
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: It feels nice to have a calm day.
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: And so I just honored it.
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: I paused.
- 0:55SPEAKER_00: And right now I'm filling it with not any sugars or anything, but I am finishing my bonus episode.
- 1:01SPEAKER_00: And to me, that's okay.
- 1:02SPEAKER_00: That's production, and that's what I want to do.
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: I'm in the podcast studio, and that's what I'm here for.
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: And then, like after the emptiness, like, and you don't fill the space with noise but clarity.
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: What did you feel?
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: Like, did something open up for you?
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: And I know I did it for you know three hours, and then I just something that opened up for me was I felt like, okay, I honored all of my healing.
- 1:33SPEAKER_00: I honored where I am.
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: I didn't try to fill it up with some performance, which normally that's what I would have done.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: I would have three hours ago did a podcast and was going to go with my episode that I was planning on doing.
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: I'm like, no, I'm not doing that because what do I feel right now?
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna honor how I feel.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: And hopefully it will help somebody else.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: As I move on with my podcast and my healing, I've noticed I've paid more attention to myself, listen to my body, stop when I need to kind of put my hand over my heart.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: That's my main thing.
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: If I put my hand on my heart and I just say, okay, what's wrong?
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: Or how am I feeling?
- 2:13SPEAKER_00: What's going on?
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: Where am I getting overwhelmed?
- 2:16SPEAKER_00: Where am I getting stressed?
- 2:20SPEAKER_00: So that's one of the practices I do.
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: And now I'm just thinking about what does get it, got it, girl, mean?
- 2:29SPEAKER_00: And I'm saying it can be get it, got it guy, but the majority of my audience is probably women.
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: So that's why I went with the get it, got it girl.
- 2:40SPEAKER_00: And like get it.
- 2:41SPEAKER_00: So I'm thinking, okay, what does get it mean?
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: What am I getting?
- 2:45SPEAKER_00: So I say it out loud and I claim it.
- 2:47SPEAKER_00: Like I need to say what I want.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: What do I want?
- 2:51SPEAKER_00: And then I own it, like got it.
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: Okay, I got it.
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: I'm owning it.
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: I put it on paper, I put it in writing, I make a short video, anything, just to write it down.
- 3:01SPEAKER_00: And then, girl, like move your body.
- 3:04SPEAKER_00: Like, that's what I'm doing.
- 3:05SPEAKER_00: Moving my body, get it, got it, girl.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: And I'll find that from time to time.
- 3:09SPEAKER_00: That's what I'll do.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: Play my favorite music and just dance.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: And it was so so it was so funny.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: Earlier today, I was at Walmart and I found myself, they didn't have the music on.
- 3:22SPEAKER_00: They started turning it on, and I couldn't help but I started dancing.
- 3:25SPEAKER_00: I'm like, oh, someone will look.
- 3:27SPEAKER_00: And I was like, I don't care.
- 3:29SPEAKER_00: And my mom was probably like, what is she doing?
- 3:32SPEAKER_00: But yeah, that was interesting.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: But I I love dancing.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: Dancing, how can you dance and not feel good?
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: Put on your favorite music.
- 3:40SPEAKER_00: Put on whatever gets you in the mood to be happy.
- 3:43SPEAKER_00: Oh, how about that song?
- 3:44SPEAKER_00: I'm so happy.
- 3:46SPEAKER_00: I don't remember who sings it, but yeah, that's another good song.
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: This lesson has taught me to just it's okay to just sit there and just be.
- 3:58SPEAKER_00: Even now I feel that calm.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: This is a new feeling that I haven't experienced in a very long time.
- 4:08SPEAKER_00: And I'm just gonna enjoy that piece while I'm making the bonus episode.
- 4:13SPEAKER_00: And what bonus do we got here?
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: Emptiness.
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: It's okay.
- 4:20SPEAKER_00: Not trying to fill it with addictions or food or tons of shows, you know.
- 4:28SPEAKER_00: I know sometimes I have binge watched a few shows.
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: So if you're there, that's okay.
- 4:37SPEAKER_00: Don't shame yourself.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: I don't want anybody to feel shame.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: Shame and guilt are not helpful.
- 4:43SPEAKER_00: I found that out in healing and getting out of addictions, gambling addiction.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: So you just nope, I find different ways to cope, and now I'm having an easier time with that.
- 5:02SPEAKER_00: And it's okay.
- 5:03SPEAKER_00: We can all have different addictions.
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: I know I don't feel like any addiction is worse than another.
- 5:10SPEAKER_00: I don't want to judge somebody in that way.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: So if you have an addiction, don't ever give up on getting help.
- 5:17SPEAKER_00: I think that's a very uh important thing in life.
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: Like, and I know sometimes you get stuck in shame or guilt.
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: But if that's your truth, please reach out to anybody.
- 5:29SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of places that are anonymous.
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: I will put some of that information in this episode.
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: And I know on the bottom of every episode I have suicide hotline, crisis, anything that domestic abuse.
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: I feel like it's important.
- 5:48SPEAKER_00: And there's no shame.
- 5:49SPEAKER_00: I I called the domestic abuse line, I messaged them, and I was able to remove myself from the situation.
- 5:59SPEAKER_00: I know that's not an easy thing for everybody to do, and I know everybody's like, well, just leave.
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: Well, first of all, you're scared because it is one of the most dangerous times to leave.
- 6:10SPEAKER_00: You have to do it with a plan.
- 6:14SPEAKER_00: Just you have to use your safety, and maybe some people can't leave due to resources.
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: But I did make that available.
- 6:22SPEAKER_00: I just be able to reach out and call somebody, text somebody.
- 6:26SPEAKER_00: I still text them on my break at work, and it really helped.
- 6:31SPEAKER_00: I wasn't alone.
- 6:32SPEAKER_00: I wasn't, I just got advice and steps to take and coping skills, and that really helped me.
- 6:43SPEAKER_00: Okay, so once you get through your emptiness, what you're gonna feel?
- 6:47SPEAKER_00: And I did momentarily feel that just a moment ago.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: I felt like, okay, what do I want to do?
- 6:53SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, okay, I know what I want.
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: I gotta rewrite it down.
- 6:56SPEAKER_00: So I just wrote it down, but I didn't really think much of it after.
- 7:00SPEAKER_00: And right now, I just want to finish my podcast because I'm in the studio right now, and I want to give you this bonus section because this is more of where I just kind of talk open and free.
- 7:13SPEAKER_00: It's weird.
- 7:14SPEAKER_00: I'm still feeling the emptiness.
- 7:16SPEAKER_00: That's actually it's calming, it's different, it's interesting.
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: So, yeah.
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: So you're with me at this moment live.
- 7:23SPEAKER_00: Like we are literally going through it together if you have that emptiness feeling.
- 7:29SPEAKER_00: If you're ready to produce and figure out what you want, that's okay.
- 7:34SPEAKER_00: I'll meet you wherever you're at.
- 7:36SPEAKER_00: That's the thing.
- 7:37SPEAKER_00: We're not really competing with ourselves, with with other people.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: You're just just do better than you did the day before for yourself.
- 7:44SPEAKER_00: That's another thing.
- 7:45SPEAKER_00: Sometimes things are hard to see.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: You won't see the production right away.
- 7:50SPEAKER_00: It's almost like if you go work out at the gym.
- 7:52SPEAKER_00: I know some of us had been there.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: You're maybe going for about a month and you're like, I don't see anything.
- 7:59SPEAKER_00: You're not gonna see it right away.
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: And then also, maybe the next day you're like, oh, wait, I walked up the steps and I didn't breathe heavy.
- 8:08SPEAKER_00: Or look, I have a little muscle right here, or I felt a little stronger.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: You're not gonna see it right away.
- 8:15SPEAKER_00: And then when you notice it, you're gonna be like, oh, there it is.
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: Just keep going, keep being faithful to yourself, keep being truthful to yourself.
- 8:25SPEAKER_00: I know it's hard, just keep going.
- 8:28SPEAKER_00: And if you need to pause, that's what the emptiness is a pause, but have a healthy pause.
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: Okay, and I'm sure some of you have heard about meditation.
- 8:40SPEAKER_00: It was a couple years back when I was meditating 90 days for one hour straight.
- 8:46SPEAKER_00: I missed a couple days.
- 8:48SPEAKER_00: But my whole point is I'm gonna commit to 30-day meditation.
- 8:52SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna try to work on a worksheet that will be available on my website so that you can for 30 days be able to write down what you went through with your meditation.
- 9:04SPEAKER_00: And if you don't want to do 30 days, commit to seven.
- 9:07SPEAKER_00: It's up to you.
- 9:08SPEAKER_00: It's not like a homework that you have to do.
- 9:11SPEAKER_00: You're never gonna be graded.
- 9:12SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna be like, okay, send me your copy.
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: It's not like this.
- 9:16SPEAKER_00: This is for you to help yourself.
- 9:18SPEAKER_00: This is a tool that I'm offering.
- 9:20SPEAKER_00: So starting next week, I will start on Monday with a 30-day meditation.
- 9:26SPEAKER_00: And then I will also be doing the video on Get It Got It Girl at Gmail or on my Gmail, Google, YouTube.
- 9:35SPEAKER_00: That's so funny because I am pretty good at social media.
- 9:38SPEAKER_00: I'm getting better.
- 9:39SPEAKER_00: I was like, okay, which one?
- 9:41SPEAKER_00: But it is on Google, it's Get It Got It Girl.
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: And I will do the 30-day meditation results on there.
- 9:48SPEAKER_00: So what I do is I sit quietly and just whatever pops up, let it go, let it flow, think about it, let it just pass.
- 9:56SPEAKER_00: But it gives you, gives you, or in in my case, it gave me ideas, clarity to just sit peacefully.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: And it also helps you.
- 10:07SPEAKER_00: It's like the emptiness, like, okay, it's okay to pause.
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: It's okay to work on yourself.
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: It's okay to dedicate a little bit of time to your healing.
- 10:16SPEAKER_00: I really do believe that, like, if you don't have anything from your cup to fill, you're not going to be able to help other people.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: So, or help, you know, maybe your family, maybe your children, maybe just working on yourself a little bit, doing the self-care, doing the meditation, listening to the podcast, listening to other audiobooks, whatever you need that you need to take time for yourself.
- 10:38SPEAKER_00: And then you'll find you feel better, you're more productive, you're more there, like you're happy.
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: And I did notice that, like lately, if I'm with somebody, I put my phone down and I'm with you.
- 10:50SPEAKER_00: I've already taken care of what I need to take care of.
- 10:52SPEAKER_00: And I really am trying to build better friendships and better family communication with that.
- 10:58SPEAKER_00: Like being where I am.
- 11:01SPEAKER_00: That just goes back to the truth.
- 11:03SPEAKER_00: Like wherever you are, know your truth.
- 11:05SPEAKER_00: Be where you're at.
- 11:06SPEAKER_00: That's okay.
- 11:07SPEAKER_00: You don't have to admit this to anybody else, whatever you want to admit to somebody, but you can work on yourself in private.
- 11:14SPEAKER_00: Now, I will tell you, I'm not a therapist.
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: I will tell you, I have noticed, you will notice differences in people that are around you.
- 11:21SPEAKER_00: Sometimes they get uncomfortable, or maybe I guess I should own some of my own things.
- 11:28SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I'm less available.
- 11:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm gonna own that, but that's okay.
- 11:32SPEAKER_00: I'm allowing myself to do that.
- 11:34SPEAKER_00: I am really, really, really working very hard to heal.
- 11:39SPEAKER_00: And the healing is happening.
- 11:42SPEAKER_00: I just want to be a better person coming out on the other side.
- 11:45SPEAKER_00: I want to help people.
- 11:46SPEAKER_00: I want to do this for my life.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: I oh, I am so clear on what I want.
- 11:54SPEAKER_00: And that is great for the first time in my life.
- 11:58SPEAKER_00: I'm very clear at what I want.
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: I'm ready to go get it.
- 12:01SPEAKER_00: I've taken care of my medical stuff.
- 12:04SPEAKER_00: I had cancer removed out of my throat.
- 12:06SPEAKER_00: That's all good and healed.
- 12:08SPEAKER_00: It's been a year.
- 12:09SPEAKER_00: I had a little hand procedure for my finger.
- 12:12SPEAKER_00: I think I talked about it on one episode.
- 12:15SPEAKER_00: And I'm ready, I'm ready to go.
- 12:19SPEAKER_00: Okay, well, that's the end of this episode little bonus section.
- 12:23SPEAKER_00: Let me just uh take you out with something.
