- 11:54Speaker 1: And but you know what it's like, I've learned to
- 11:58Speaker 1: allow the help to help right being a Lane. The
- 12:01Speaker 1: more I allow excuse me, the more that I allowed
- 12:04Speaker 1: Desire to be does a Ray? I can be just good,
- 12:09Speaker 1: But the more I allowed del Ray to be desil Ray.
- 12:13Speaker 1: I'm Jessica, so I wonder even this question is coming
- 12:16Speaker 1: up with you. Let's start with this what is a publicist?
- 12:19Speaker 3: Right?
- 12:19Speaker 1: I want you to explain it, but also with people
- 12:22Speaker 1: that are struggling with allowing their help.
- 12:25Speaker 3: To be the help so they could be who they are.
- 12:27Speaker 3: I can only imagine you have to fight that fight
- 12:29Speaker 3: with your.
- 12:30Speaker 1: That's gonna be a consistent fight. Okay, let's talk about
- 12:33Speaker 1: that first. Tell them folks, so they don't they don't
- 12:36Speaker 1: really know because it's confusing. You know.
- 12:39Speaker 7: Essentially, we are professional that works in polar relations, communication
- 12:45Speaker 7: and media. So you hire a publicist right to help
- 12:49Speaker 7: build the credibility and the visibility for your brand, brand
- 12:53Speaker 7: or your individual whatever brand, your business, your event, whatever
- 12:57Speaker 7: the case may be.
- 12:57Speaker 3: So that is that is basically our role to garner visibility.
- 13:02Speaker 7: Maybe it's partnership, whatever is going to build the light,
- 13:06Speaker 7: the buzz on you to tell and share your story.
- 13:10Speaker 3: That's where we come in.
- 13:11Speaker 7: So and even just not even the good side, the
- 13:14Speaker 7: bad side, so where we may have to help you
- 13:16Speaker 7: make statements like we gotta sometimes speak for you, help
- 13:19Speaker 7: you get dressed, Help how are you gonna look? How
- 13:20Speaker 7: are you gonna present yourself? And we are so you know,
- 13:23Speaker 7: we get shunned because it's like, oh I don't need a.
- 13:25Speaker 3: Public yeah, but I mean your truth be told.
- 13:28Speaker 7: There are organizations that are chat GPT responses, and I'm like,
- 13:32Speaker 7: that is not the way. You need somebody that is
- 13:33Speaker 7: a professional that has the expertise to help you really
- 13:37Speaker 7: say the right thing, because it is a true thing
- 13:39Speaker 7: to say the wrong thing at the wrong time, at
- 13:41Speaker 7: the wrong place right.
- 13:42Speaker 3: And so that's where we come in.
- 13:44Speaker 1: I D M you, what was who is that that
- 13:46Speaker 1: got in trouble? I can't remember if somebody and you
- 13:51Speaker 1: you were talking about it. I love how I'm very
- 13:53Speaker 1: engaged with your counted by the way, because I love
- 13:56Speaker 1: how you think. I love for one year branded is
- 13:59Speaker 1: just top tier clocked, all right.
- 14:03Speaker 3: I love that.
- 14:04Speaker 1: But we were talking about I know DM and you
- 14:06Speaker 1: y'all was like, girl, y'all a professional babysitter.
- 14:09Speaker 2: No.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Yeah, because we as adults, we think we know everything,
- 14:14Speaker 1: but a different set of eyes. My granddaddy told my
- 14:17Speaker 1: auntie one day, it was like, uh, full eyes better
- 14:20Speaker 1: than two yeah, okay, And sometimes I think that we
- 14:24Speaker 1: discredit the four eyes we do, like we did really
- 14:27Speaker 1: discredit four eyes.
- 14:28Speaker 3: So I know you are publishist.
- 14:30Speaker 1: I know that you have been doing this for a
- 14:33Speaker 1: long time, and so I'm curious to know, like, have
- 14:36Speaker 1: you have what has been your pinnacle point, so far as.
- 14:40Speaker 3: A publicity, We're gonna get we gonna get beyond this.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Professional part because I feel I'm feeling hot and so
- 14:44Speaker 1: I know this is a holy spirit, So I'm gonna
- 14:46Speaker 1: get through this professionally.
- 14:48Speaker 3: Hmmm.
- 14:49Speaker 7: I would say one of those pinnacle points is that
- 14:51Speaker 7: when I'm going through a very difficult season personally and
- 14:55Speaker 7: things are moving slow because in pr and then you know,
- 14:57Speaker 7: building visibility, it takes a long time time. It's crickets,
- 15:01Speaker 7: So it's not always you're just going going get for
- 15:03Speaker 7: you or for your clients, for the clients. Okay, So
- 15:06Speaker 7: a pinnacle point a moment for me is when God
- 15:09Speaker 7: shows me like that I can do this, because I
- 15:11Speaker 7: do struggle sometimes with am I doing?
- 15:13Speaker 3: Am I doing right? Am I?
- 15:15Speaker 7: You know it's a struggle. It's a struggle when you're creative,
- 15:17Speaker 7: when you're an entrepreneur and you're the person that's spearheads,
- 15:20Speaker 7: when you're a leader. You know, leaders, we always struggle
- 15:24Speaker 7: with did I hear you God? Am I doing the
- 15:27Speaker 7: right thing? Is this the wrong season? So God he
- 15:29Speaker 7: be just winning, just me raining and shower and he
- 15:33Speaker 7: reminds me. So I would say my pinnacle moment is
- 15:35Speaker 7: just at those different levels when I'm just not feeling
- 15:38Speaker 7: my best in my personal season, God just shows me.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Just Ravens, that's so good. Ravens like the bird he
- 15:46Speaker 1: show just what does that?
- 15:47Speaker 3: What's that mean for?
- 15:48Speaker 1: Just just random just support, a resources or a sign.
- 15:52Speaker 3: That's so good.
- 15:53Speaker 7: I mean because Ravens, you could just see any anything says,
- 15:57Speaker 7: I will show you signs and wonder.
- 15:58Speaker 1: He also said that he if he addresses to live,
- 16:01Speaker 1: he feed the birds. How much more would he do
- 16:03Speaker 1: for you?
- 16:04Speaker 3: You better sing that song? I guess.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Yeah, I ain't gonna sing it today because they've definitely
- 16:11Speaker 1: played baby I can't sing, but I listen.
- 16:14Speaker 3: We'll home to yelm. Okay.
- 16:17Speaker 7: But no, seriously, that's something we remind ourselves. If I'll
- 16:20Speaker 7: do that, why won't I take care of you?
- 16:23Speaker 3: Help you? Because you've been an entrepreneur technically for hell long.
- 16:28Speaker 3: So we're coming up to our tenth years.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Whoa.
- 16:32Speaker 1: This is how I know God has got because I
- 16:34Speaker 1: was like, where am I getting ten years from?

- 19:48Speaker 3: but God hears you.
- 19:51Speaker 1: God hears you, and he and one season it was
- 19:53Speaker 1: like you were he was. It was like I can't
- 19:56Speaker 1: hear you God, or you ain't been doing the signs.
- 19:58Speaker 1: But he was working on your trust. Now he's working.
- 20:02Speaker 1: He's not worried about your trust because you have trusted him.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Now he's working on your movement.
- 20:08Speaker 3: Just it's too much.
- 20:09Speaker 7: I mean, are we really going to have a podcast
- 20:11Speaker 7: epyore the day or are we going to We're.
- 20:12Speaker 3: Talking what you're pulling on me? Sarah, you're pulling.
- 20:19Speaker 1: I'm saying you're pulling, and I'm like, we can, I
- 20:23Speaker 1: can we can do the camera thing off the camera
- 20:25Speaker 1: because I don't mind it. But I guess the Lord
- 20:28Speaker 1: is like, it's so many wins that you have have
- 20:31Speaker 1: had silently that I want.
- 20:33Speaker 3: To publicly reward you. Yeah, I want to publicly move.
- 20:37Speaker 1: You because I want God to be It's always for
- 20:40Speaker 1: God to be glorified because you be behind the scene.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Like one of the things that I learned, maybe not
- 20:46Speaker 1: in your field, but even serving people. I struggle with
- 20:51Speaker 1: not being the help and being a forefront and when
- 20:53Speaker 1: God is trying to put the spotlight on you. I've
- 20:56Speaker 1: struggled with that, right, and I since you struggle with
- 21:00Speaker 1: that too, And it's like when you used to came in,
- 21:03Speaker 1: he was like, because nobody interviews the publicist, but you've
- 21:06Speaker 1: put your identity in the wrong place publicist.
- 21:09Speaker 3: Being the publicist has humbled you.
- 21:17Speaker 1: And not to say you don't you need humbling or whatever,
- 21:20Speaker 1: but the Lord will kill some ofuf before it try
- 21:22Speaker 1: to even uproot, right, you know? So, but you you
- 21:27Speaker 1: you are so sweet and so nice, but you're so
- 21:29Speaker 1: talented and the enemy could just just like Lucifer, he
- 21:33Speaker 1: was so talented and gifted that he thought he was
- 21:35Speaker 1: God right. So at the wrong moment, somebody could have
- 21:37Speaker 1: planned something or whatever, but he protected you from there.
- 21:40Speaker 1: And so I really sense that this is your time.
- 21:43Speaker 1: He says, your heart is ready for the move, your
- 21:45Speaker 1: heart is ready for upward movement, elevation.
- 21:48Speaker 3: And so I'm really excited.
- 21:49Speaker 1: I'm really genuinely excited for you because this is like
- 21:53Speaker 1: people are gonna be calling you before you even get there.
- 21:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm excited for you because.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Baby, I have struggled with that, Like, I mean, I
- 22:03Speaker 1: why I came to it I can't.
- 22:05Speaker 3: I said, okay, God, you know. God was like, y'all
- 22:07Speaker 3: let this go. You just go, you let this go,
- 22:09Speaker 3: and I was like, okay. But since it's been moving,
- 22:11Speaker 3: it's been way faster than I thought.
- 22:13Speaker 7: I was like they were telling me, I mean places
- 22:15Speaker 7: are being taken, and I'm like, okay, I gotta make
- 22:17Speaker 7: a move. I have struggled based on some things that
- 22:20Speaker 7: I've experienced silently like am I gonna.
- 22:23Speaker 3: See it again? It's a new play, this a new area.
- 22:26Speaker 7: I don't have, like I mean, every thought that has
- 22:29Speaker 7: came in my mind has been But then I'm like,
- 22:31Speaker 7: I'm excited, you know what I'm saying. I don't know
- 22:33Speaker 7: if that makes sense, but like I'm excited, then I'm nervous, nervous,
- 22:35Speaker 7: and I'm scared. You know, am I going to succeed?
- 22:38Speaker 7: Because it is a new territory, it is a new region.
- 22:41Speaker 7: But God has been talking to me about this is
- 22:43Speaker 7: my season of the Voice, and so I don't know.
- 22:47Speaker 1: I'm just I'm an expectation. Honestly, what does that mean
- 22:51Speaker 1: to be an expectation.
- 22:54Speaker 7: I'm expecting things that I can't even like, I can't
- 22:56Speaker 7: even think, like I can't even guess I can't even create,
- 22:59Speaker 7: like I can't even come drip my thoughts because my
- 23:00Speaker 7: favorite scripture is Jeremih twenty nine to eleven, for he
- 23:03Speaker 7: knows the thoughts and plans that He has towards me,
- 23:05Speaker 7: saith the Lord, and they're things, good things, and so
- 23:08Speaker 7: I'm expecting things. I'm expecting for Sarah to get out
- 23:11Speaker 7: of the way and for God to be in to
- 23:14Speaker 7: do his thing because my prayers always, especially right now
- 23:18Speaker 7: because it's so sensitive. I'm like, God, I don't want
- 23:20Speaker 7: to be out of your will because so many times
- 23:23Speaker 7: we move too quickly, we don't be stilled. We have
- 23:26Speaker 7: too many voices, and I'm like, I've chosen to not
- 23:29Speaker 7: to say things like at all either two people, because
- 23:32Speaker 7: I want to ensure that this is a God moved
- 23:34Speaker 7: because I'm hearing that this is you.
- 23:36Speaker 3: But people will just plant seeds like is it time
- 23:40Speaker 3: or are you sure?
- 23:42Speaker 1: I can't because sometimes God be telling us to do
- 23:45Speaker 1: it may not make sense to us.
- 23:46Speaker 7: So you think I need to hear another voice. No,
- 23:49Speaker 7: let me hear the supplier, the right source, the ultimate strategiest,
- 23:53Speaker 7: and hear from him.
- 23:54Speaker 6: Right.
- 23:55Speaker 1: That's so good. I'm trying to calm down and trying
- 24:00Speaker 1: to keep it for so we can get this episode
- 24:02Speaker 1: because this is about you. Well, we already thought about
- 24:05Speaker 1: desil Ray, so listen. I'm really super excited. So one
- 24:09Speaker 1: of the things I did want to touch on because
- 24:11Speaker 1: we need your expertise here on just as the podcast.
- 24:16Speaker 3: One of the I can't remember.
- 24:17Speaker 1: I couldn't find this post, but it can't get out
- 24:19Speaker 1: of my mind because it was so potent to me
- 24:22Speaker 1: because as believers, as people that have served in churches, right,
- 24:26Speaker 1: I've seen you served in ministry. I served in ministry
- 24:30Speaker 1: under the kind of the same ram. And one of
- 24:32Speaker 1: the things you you posted or you were talking about y'all,
- 24:35Speaker 1: if y'all don't follow her, to follow her and actually
- 24:37Speaker 1: go through her stories.
- 24:38Speaker 3: She I don't like watching people's stories.
- 24:41Speaker 7: Some people just tell me watching I love watching your story,
- 24:44Speaker 7: and I just became more like, I please don't stop.
- 24:47Speaker 3: I love watching your stories because.
- 24:49Speaker 1: I know that I'm gonna get a poor like and
- 24:52Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna get answers to questions I didn't
- 24:54Speaker 1: even know I had.
- 24:55Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
- 24:56Speaker 1: And so one of the things that you brought up
- 24:58Speaker 1: was just how the church or even faith based communities
- 25:05Speaker 1: mismanage or have a lack thereof of public or pr opportunities,
- 25:11Speaker 1: And so can we talk about that, like what does
- 25:13Speaker 1: what do you what do you feel like the church
- 25:15Speaker 1: is missing? And not even just a church I really
- 25:17Speaker 1: want to lean into, like even Christian influencers, Christian country creators,
- 25:22Speaker 1: because I know we're it's easy to like, oh, I
- 25:25Speaker 1: got these many followers, but you got nothing to show
- 25:27Speaker 1: for it because you're doing events or you're not doing events,
- 25:30Speaker 1: you're not really connecting with your community because you're not
- 25:33Speaker 1: being you're not as visible as you really think you are.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Oh man, it's I'm trying to think which way to go.
- 25:39Speaker 7: I mean, uh, we missed out not think about again
- 25:42Speaker 7: when we think about you alread thinking about visibility. Yeah,
- 25:44Speaker 7: so we're thinking about telling and sharing what you are doing.
- 25:48Speaker 3: Period.
- 25:48Speaker 7: Like that's the most simple way that I can say that.
- 25:51Speaker 7: And I think churches we do so good. Now we're
- 25:54Speaker 7: in this time of all this media, all these cameras
- 25:58Speaker 7: and production with these big churches, but I'm like, why
- 26:01Speaker 7: are you guys not telling the community what you're doing?
- 26:04Speaker 3: How to get them more involved, how to.
- 26:06Speaker 7: Get more partners? Every and then also too, I don't
- 26:09Speaker 7: I don't think you're going this way, but.
- 26:11Speaker 3: Go the way. I'm gonna flow with you this show episode.
- 26:14Speaker 3: There's a struggle in ministry and in churches where.
- 26:18Speaker 1: We use people more than we and we say it's
- 26:24Speaker 1: God we're serving and people. It's so many people that
- 26:28Speaker 1: go to these churches that they do this. This is
- 26:31Speaker 1: feeding their table, their families, and we use.
- 26:34Speaker 3: It like we overly use it.
- 26:36Speaker 7: We take advantage and that's not what that's not what
- 26:39Speaker 7: you that's not what God intended it to be.
- 26:41Speaker 3: Right. So I do have a problem and struggle with
- 26:43Speaker 3: that because I have been approached by you know, ministries
- 26:47Speaker 3: to use my gift and and I do it because
- 26:50Speaker 3: I again I'm a PK. So it's in me. Yeah,
- 26:52Speaker 3: learn you know. You know.
- 26:54Speaker 7: So I struggle like, okay, God, because I want to
- 26:57Speaker 7: see God. I want to see the kingdom.
- 26:58Speaker 1: I want to see the churches, you know, come up
- 27:01Speaker 1: be you know, because we need a place kingdom, minister leaders, creatives,
- 27:05Speaker 1: we need a place in media because let's look at
- 27:08Speaker 1: the news.
- 27:08Speaker 3: It's you're entertainers, you have your your move.
- 27:11Speaker 7: All of that, but where are we We see dabbles
- 27:14Speaker 7: of different preachers and I won't name that, you know,
- 27:17Speaker 7: have media, but they also understand the power of pr
- 27:21Speaker 7: communication and media, right, Like, that's not just them somebody
- 27:25Speaker 7: they got they've outsourced that, or they have somebody that
- 27:28Speaker 7: in their church that they're paying or whatever the case
- 27:30Speaker 7: may be. So I think the church definitely lacks and
- 27:32Speaker 7: I think it's a lot of ego. I think it's
- 27:34Speaker 7: a lot of old systematical practices that church is utilize.
- 27:38Speaker 7: And it's more than just you know, like.
- 27:40Speaker 1: I said, you know, sending out text messages to the
- 27:43Speaker 1: you know, hey, we got all these women ministries blah
- 27:44Speaker 1: blah blah.
- 27:45Speaker 7: No, you need to have a full because this is
- 27:47Speaker 7: the thing. A lot of churches also deal with scandals,
- 27:49Speaker 7: so who who is going to be there good?
- 27:52Speaker 3: Like a lot of churches.
- 27:53Speaker 1: It's almost it's sad to say this, but it's almost
- 27:56Speaker 1: like it's in the DNA of a church to.
- 27:59Speaker 3: Have some issues a problem.
- 28:00Speaker 7: Yeah, you have a member that got upset or something
- 28:03Speaker 7: happened or the wrong thing was said. Now we're in
- 28:05Speaker 7: a hyper social media culture work clips.
- 28:08Speaker 3: So how are you handling that?
- 28:10Speaker 7: Like who was the person on the team in leadership
- 28:13Speaker 7: that's saying we need to put out a statement or
- 28:15Speaker 7: you need to do this, or you need to do that.
- 28:17Speaker 7: They don't have anybody, and that is what's kind of
- 28:20Speaker 7: just what people need to know, Like they don't understand
- 28:23Speaker 7: having a professional And I've I've and again we're being honest, Yeah,
- 28:27Speaker 7: I've experienced shirt scandals and I'm like, so, what time
- 28:30Speaker 7: y'all gonna get to savement out?
- 28:31Speaker 3: Like what are y'all gonna do? Yeah?
- 28:32Speaker 7: Why are cameras out? I'm always thinking, I'm like, oh,
- 28:35Speaker 7: this about to be picked up, it's about to go viral.
- 28:37Speaker 7: You're not thinking like that. And then when it happens,
- 28:40Speaker 7: you know, the pastor or the minister or whatever, they're
- 28:42Speaker 7: going through one of the biggest stores of their lives
- 28:44Speaker 7: because everyone's talking about them.
- 28:46Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
- 28:46Speaker 1: That's so good because it's like going hand preparing for
- 28:50Speaker 1: the line of defense. Yes, and we would depend on Unfortunately,
- 28:54Speaker 1: being because I'm a PK and.
- 28:55Speaker 3: I learned about you, I was like, oh, okay, this okay.
- 28:59Speaker 1: Only you can only know and understand a level of
- 29:02Speaker 1: church when you a PK.
- 29:04Speaker 3: Listen, y'all be trying to dog us out. Yeah, it's
- 29:09Speaker 3: the reason why we cut up. It's the reason why
- 29:11Speaker 3: we cut up. It's the reason why we cut up.
- 29:13Speaker 3: It's the reason why. It's the reason why.
- 29:15Speaker 1: And so I'm just as passionate about church because that's
- 29:23Speaker 1: that's supposed to be the evidence of God, right, it's
- 29:26Speaker 1: supposed to be the evidence of the Kingdom, if we're honest.
- 29:29Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons why we like bg TV
- 29:31Speaker 1: so much. Literally, our first encounter we after we recorded,
- 29:35Speaker 1: it was like a whole bunch of people that came
- 29:37Speaker 1: in and I literally felt like I was in heaven,
- 29:40Speaker 1: Like my spirit lifted. I was like, Oh, I gotta
- 29:42Speaker 1: calm down, Oh I gotta calm down. And we was
- 29:44Speaker 1: just talking. We were just going around, Ain't that right,
- 29:46Speaker 1: We're just going around talking to.
- 29:47Speaker 3: People like, Oh, I'm just good, Hi, I'm deserate. Like
- 29:49Speaker 3: it was just so amazing.
- 29:52Speaker 1: And that's how church, the church experience should be. Should
- 29:55Speaker 1: should we have our trials and tribulations. Of course we're
- 29:58Speaker 1: gonna go through because it's I mean, we're here, We're
- 30:00Speaker 1: gonna experience that on earth. We're not in heaven yet, however,
- 30:04Speaker 1: And there should be a response and a proper response,
- 30:07Speaker 1: and a timely response. And I even like how you said,
- 30:10Speaker 1: because I never thought about this. Okay, you have inner
- 30:14Speaker 1: situations like in house, that's what I'm saying, in house
- 30:17Speaker 1: scandals where it might not make it to social media.
- 30:20Speaker 1: But how you still got a responsibility to manage that. Girl,
- 30:24Speaker 1: You just opened up my mind, like sometimes, yeah, we
- 30:27Speaker 1: look at the budgeting or whatever, and I totally agree
- 30:30Speaker 1: with you because I've been pimped out for my gifts.
- 30:32Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been pimped out.
- 30:34Speaker 1: I've been pipped out for my gifts too, and like
- 30:36Speaker 1: it's unfortunate because it's like, yeah, I know the Lord
- 30:39Speaker 1: will allow me to use my gifts in this area,
- 30:42Speaker 1: but you you dishonor me so much to the point
- 30:45Speaker 1: where I don't even want to do anything anymore.
- 30:47Speaker 7: And we have to have a balance. But the problem
- 30:50Speaker 7: with that is, and I'm just being honest, you.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Gotta preface nothing, child, because you ain't saying that rule.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Y'all want to pimp the real like gifts. But y'all, y'all,
- 31:01Speaker 1: y'all pay what.
- 31:02Speaker 7: Y'all want to pay for, right because at the end
- 31:05Speaker 7: of the day, marketing, marketing, the church, marketing messages through video,
- 31:09Speaker 7: social media, all this stuff, you're paying for it Yeah,
- 31:12Speaker 7: you're paying to run the church with this high production
- 31:16Speaker 7: way that we're seeing nowadays period.
- 31:19Speaker 3: So that's where I struggle. It's like you're paying for
- 31:21Speaker 3: what you want to pay for it.
- 31:22Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's so good. I think that's interesting and
- 31:27Speaker 1: it's challenging too. But so but some churches really don't
- 31:30Speaker 1: believe that they're important enough to have someone like you,
- 31:35Speaker 1: especially Yeah, yeah, they do like you. You think about
- 31:38Speaker 1: these small churches or the per churches that are starting up,
- 31:41Speaker 1: and so I can only imagine, especially with you being
- 31:43Speaker 1: a p K. And I do want to get into
- 31:45Speaker 1: that because when I when I understood your story and
- 31:49Speaker 1: understood who you were just doing my little you know, research,
- 31:52Speaker 1: because I was like, I can't I can't come empty
- 31:54Speaker 1: handed with the woman a god. Okay, okay, I would
- 31:57Speaker 1: love because your it's almost like your heart is there,
- 31:59Speaker 1: but the professionalism is like, so, let's talk about your
- 32:03Speaker 1: journey as a PK.
- 32:04Speaker 3: Right, I know you from Mobile Mobile one. That's it.
- 32:12Speaker 1: I gotta give it up for him, because you know,
- 32:14Speaker 1: people feel like when you move, y'all, you feel like
- 32:15Speaker 1: you're better than them.
- 32:16Speaker 3: And I'm like, y'all, that's not the case. It was
- 32:20Speaker 3: probably a couple of years ago and you did a
- 32:23Speaker 3: story and.
- 32:24Speaker 1: You were like visiting your mom, I think, and you
- 32:27Speaker 1: was like, y'all, I forgot folks.
- 32:29Speaker 3: Was nice. I've been living in Atlanta so long because
- 32:33Speaker 3: it's not in days.
- 32:35Speaker 7: It is not in day. People tell you can survive Atlanta.
- 32:38Speaker 7: You can survive anywhere anywhere.
- 32:40Speaker 3: So don't worry about your move. You're finla make right.
- 32:43Speaker 3: Can you worry about it? You're gonna be all right?
- 32:45Speaker 3: I'm yeah, And so let's let's talk about it.
- 32:49Speaker 1: So I do have an understanding that that your dad
- 32:53Speaker 1: passed away with.
- 32:54Speaker 7: Twelve when I was twelve, Yeah, from twenty years ago
- 32:57Speaker 7: twenty wow? Yeah, while and he's from Texas. What yeah,
- 33:04Speaker 7: you want the interview that I heard you do?
- 33:05Speaker 1: You mentioned that you got your you feel like you
- 33:08Speaker 1: got your entrepreneur spirit from him.
- 33:10Speaker 3: Can we talk about your dad for it? Said, you're like,
- 33:12Speaker 3: tell us what he was like? Well, in my short time, man, god,
- 33:18Speaker 3: I mean dad was oily. He was.
- 33:21Speaker 7: So he has a military background. His story, I mean
- 33:25Speaker 7: literally uh uh stepped on land mines back in the
- 33:28Speaker 7: Vietnam War and was declared dead. That's his story. I
- 33:32Speaker 7: never forget that that testimony, and his mom was like,
- 33:35Speaker 7: he's not dead, because back then they would visit you
- 33:37Speaker 7: and say, hey, you know, this is what it is
- 33:39Speaker 7: or your son.
- 33:40Speaker 3: She's like, he's not dead. And he had like I
- 33:42Speaker 3: think it was like.
- 33:43Speaker 1: A house to tell you go back in the early
- 33:46Speaker 1: fifties and yeah, sixty or whatever, that's what they would
- 33:48Speaker 1: make that visit and say this is what it is.
- 33:51Speaker 3: And it was like, he's not dead. Baby.
- 33:54Speaker 7: I don't I don't have I don't remember everything, but
- 33:56Speaker 7: I do remember he literally was not dead for real.
- 33:58Speaker 7: They now some dead, but he was not dead. So
- 34:02Speaker 7: his story, like the lineage of just the oil, literally
- 34:07Speaker 7: runs runs deep in the family. And so minister, you
- 34:11Speaker 7: know bishop, you know, Prophet had a church, had a barbershop,
- 34:15Speaker 7: beauty shop, like the entrepreneurship. It was in him like
- 34:18Speaker 7: connection resource. So I always say like, if he was here, man,
- 34:22Speaker 7: we would have a time like and my mom, you
- 34:25Speaker 7: know mom, she oily to pass her to okay, shout
- 34:32Speaker 7: out to mamaa be but we and her we talk
- 34:33Speaker 7: about this and I was like, you know, you are
- 34:36Speaker 7: like the help. Like she she understands her role. And
- 34:39Speaker 7: I think as a believers, a lot of times we
- 34:41Speaker 7: struggle our identity in Christ and why are we called?
- 34:44Speaker 3: Where's our purpose? And my mom we always say you know,
- 34:47Speaker 3: and she's like, you know, Sarah, you got the oil
- 34:49Speaker 3: on you too, I said, real bad, real bad. But
- 34:53Speaker 3: she is the helpmate, like a true help mad.
- 34:57Speaker 1: There are some people that are just they're not called
- 34:59Speaker 1: to just to be like to lead, right, you have
- 35:02Speaker 1: those that literally are.
- 35:03Speaker 7: The ones that are intercessors, those the ones that help you,
- 35:05Speaker 7: that aide you, and we need them. I don't think
- 35:08Speaker 7: we talk enough about those that are literally meant and
- 35:11Speaker 7: called to help to help build.
- 35:13Speaker 1: They don't have to be got it now, a't tend
- 35:15Speaker 1: for them and that's and they're fine with that. And
- 35:18Speaker 1: that's been my mom. The ancessor, the one that helps
- 35:21Speaker 1: get everything together, the one that prays and COVID. When
- 35:24Speaker 1: you got somebody that's praying and covering from you and
- 35:27Speaker 1: you don't even know. I think again, that's something we
- 35:29Speaker 1: don't talk about. We always talk about the one that
- 35:31Speaker 1: got the mic, the one that's in front of the
- 35:33Speaker 1: baby needing help, be needing intercession. They needed someone to
- 35:38Speaker 1: fast for them. When you are weak, just so weak,
- 35:40Speaker 1: you can't even think you know what I'm saying.
- 35:42Speaker 7: So but yeah, ministry with him. I told I always
- 35:47Speaker 7: struggle with like God, why he was only fifty six.
- 35:50Speaker 7: He's only fifty six. We went to his brother's funeral
- 35:54Speaker 7: and he died if real the first and my dad
- 35:56Speaker 7: died for for the ninth. He didn't even make it
- 35:58Speaker 7: back home. And what he never made He died in
- 36:03Speaker 7: the car. I remember it, you know, took his last breadth.
- 36:06Speaker 7: My mom said these final words, go to sleep, big boy.
- 36:09Speaker 7: And he dropped his head in a car. And we
- 36:12Speaker 7: were stuck in a country town called Mendon, Louisiana, and
- 36:16Speaker 7: they took care of us.
- 36:17Speaker 3: They gave us an empty hotel room. Yeah, he passed.
- 36:21Speaker 3: So was he ill.
- 36:22Speaker 7: So he got sick with he had a what was
- 36:25Speaker 7: it pneumonia and it transferred from one lung to another
- 36:29Speaker 7: long because it was cold in February. And he never
- 36:32Speaker 7: could travel for a long time. You have some people
- 36:34Speaker 7: that just can't travel very long time to cars. And
- 36:37Speaker 7: what's so crazy is this is where you know where
- 36:41Speaker 7: he knew. His mom told me that she saw him
- 36:44Speaker 7: walk up to his brother's casket and said, I'll see
- 36:48Speaker 7: you in a few days. Yeah, so he knew and
- 36:53Speaker 7: you know, one thing about Dad. One thing sometimes a
- 36:55Speaker 7: boy profiting people is they'll sit You'll think they're kind
- 36:59Speaker 7: of weird thing they kind st but God is dealing
- 37:00Speaker 7: with them. And so when Dad was sick, I'm confident
- 37:04Speaker 7: to know that he was watching and seeing different things
- 37:07Speaker 7: and he knew, he knew.
- 37:10Speaker 1: And does that aspect or has that aspect brought you peace?
- 37:14Speaker 1: And because I know it's twenty years, but I haven't.
- 37:18Speaker 1: I haven't had to experience that level of loss yet,
- 37:21Speaker 1: not with my parents. My memo was probably the most
- 37:25Speaker 1: traumatic experience because my memo was such a good yeah,
- 37:28Speaker 1: a good woman. I was like, you're only sixty, Like
- 37:31Speaker 1: she was only sixty when she passed away. But I
- 37:34Speaker 1: haven't dealt with that level of agony, just to be honest.
- 37:38Speaker 1: And so twenty years, I can only imagine, like I
- 37:42Speaker 1: wonder what my dad would tay you here? Or do
- 37:45Speaker 1: you how do you manage those moments?
- 37:47Speaker 7: It comes. It's tough because I'm an adult now. So
- 37:51Speaker 7: when I was twelve, I was young, Like I don't
- 37:53Speaker 7: think I truly understood what it meant. Like I was
- 37:57Speaker 7: counting by the year, like, oh, it's he's not here,
- 37:59Speaker 7: Like I don't think it hit me.
- 38:00Speaker 3: It doesn't really hit you when you lose them until
- 38:02Speaker 3: you get older.
- 38:03Speaker 7: Like and I know that may sound strange, but those
- 38:06Speaker 7: that really understand, like when you get to your adult life,
- 38:09Speaker 7: there are life lessons and things that you experience by
- 38:13Speaker 7: I strongly believe that because he had he wasn't in
- 38:16Speaker 7: my life growing up that I do struggle with, like
- 38:18Speaker 7: relationship with men.
- 38:21Speaker 3: Yeah, did clock it, because that's real. That's a real thing.
- 38:26Speaker 1: Because I'm pretty sure and I'm thankful for my brother,
- 38:29Speaker 1: you know, but he tell he used to tell me
- 38:31Speaker 1: like if a man can't treat you like how I
- 38:33Speaker 1: treat you, then.
- 38:34Speaker 7: You don't need him. So I had my older brother
- 38:36Speaker 7: kind of you know, stepping in. But yeah, like that
- 38:39Speaker 7: has impacted me. Those are the things that I mean about.
- 38:42Speaker 7: It ain't really hit me until I'm going through entrepreneurship.
- 38:45Speaker 7: I'm dealing with men, I'm dealing with life, I'm dealing
- 38:47Speaker 7: with faith because he only.
- 38:49Speaker 3: Moved by faith.
- 38:50Speaker 7: Come on, the church was called now Fath Pentecostal Deliverance Church.
- 38:54Speaker 7: So these are the things conversations that I wish I
- 38:56Speaker 7: could have with him.
- 38:58Speaker 1: So yeah, I you know, but it's interesting because even
- 39:01Speaker 1: as you talk, I just see the Lord just saying,
- 39:03Speaker 1: like the promises that he had for him, you're gonna
- 39:06Speaker 1: walk out that like you're gonna walk out the promises
- 39:10Speaker 1: that he had for your father. So it's not it's
- 39:12Speaker 1: it's like literally, you're the embodiment of who he was,
- 39:15Speaker 1: and so he's living through you. Like I really, people
- 39:19Speaker 1: don't don't come for me. I can hear y'all spirit
- 39:21Speaker 1: over the spiritual hyper spiritual people. I said what I said,
- 39:25Speaker 1: and she's said it on business. But no, I think
- 39:31Speaker 1: that that is that is so important. And I'm so
- 39:35Speaker 1: like because some people people normally see Sarah as the buzzy,
- 39:41Speaker 1: the buzzy person, but they don't know what you I
- 39:43Speaker 1: was so surprised for one that you were a PK.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Not because it's like, oh you just you go, you
- 39:48Speaker 1: don't of God. But it was like, oh my gosh,
- 39:51Speaker 1: the because that's that is a different way of life.
- 39:54Speaker 3: It is it's a different expectation.
- 39:57Speaker 1: And so I'm curious to no, like, with you being
- 40:01Speaker 1: a published, with you having all these accolades, what is
- 40:04Speaker 1: what is Sarah's goal?
- 40:06Speaker 3: Like, what is her big picture goal? Ooh that's so good. Well, thanks,
- 40:10Speaker 3: happy to say it. It was.
- 40:14Speaker 7: My big My big picture goal is so crazy, is
- 40:18Speaker 7: I don't want to do pr for the rest of
- 40:20Speaker 7: my life. I'm actually I wouldn't say I'm looking forward
- 40:23Speaker 7: to that chapter ending, but I know it will be
- 40:26Speaker 7: something that will not I'll have the skill set. But
- 40:29Speaker 7: my goal, my passion has always been acting, and it
- 40:32Speaker 7: has always been like my own TV talk show, like
- 40:35Speaker 7: that has been.
- 40:36Speaker 3: The big picture.
- 40:36Speaker 7: Go doing films, directing, producing. Yeah, I mean that's it.
- 40:42Speaker 7: Like I literally it was always acting. Was always theater
- 40:45Speaker 7: and then broadcaster. It was never to represent somebody to
- 40:49Speaker 7: be on that. That's what's so funny.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Know what's good is that's because I wasn't gonna say
- 40:55Speaker 1: this earlier. I had done my research and I heard
- 40:59Speaker 1: in the interview that I was talking about earlier that
- 41:02Speaker 1: that that was a desire of yours. And I actually
- 41:05Speaker 1: talked to my friend Trisian. His name is Foster Make.
- 41:10Speaker 1: I don't know if you know, I have to show
- 41:12Speaker 1: you him he is. He is absolutely amazing, girl, bro.
- 41:15Speaker 3: But I was sharing with him.
- 41:16Speaker 1: I was like, I've always wanted to act, right, And
- 41:19Speaker 1: when I heard you say that, I was like, I
- 41:21Speaker 1: always wanted to be an entertainment like I thought I
- 41:23Speaker 1: would be singing.
- 41:24Speaker 3: I thought I would be you know, acting or whatever.
- 41:26Speaker 1: But then the insecurities come up, and you know, the
- 41:30Speaker 1: idea of being rejected. I'm like, I'm already experienced rejection
- 41:33Speaker 1: on this level. I don't know if I want to
- 41:35Speaker 1: experience rejection on other levels like this because I wanted
- 41:40Speaker 1: too bad, you know, like and so have you like
- 41:44Speaker 1: is that a reason why you didn't go forward initially?
- 41:47Speaker 3: Or did you go? Did you go for it?
- 41:48Speaker 1: At my point, I wanted to go. But you know,
- 41:51Speaker 1: when you have a black mama kind of.
- 42:00Speaker 7: You know, we get older, like, okay, that made sense,
- 42:02Speaker 7: But I actually explored it in high school, Like I
- 42:04Speaker 7: did it. I got the awards and everything, because I mean,
- 42:06Speaker 7: I can be a little bit of a theatrical person.
- 42:08Speaker 3: I'm on now. But when they.
- 42:10Speaker 1: Explained in high school, when we did like a tour,
- 42:13Speaker 1: they was like, and they gonna be couch bumping and
- 42:16Speaker 1: jumping around. Therein't gonna be making no money. Mama whispered
- 42:18Speaker 1: to me and said, you gotta find something.
- 42:19Speaker 3: Else to do. You gotta find something else to do.
- 42:22Speaker 7: So the next thing was always broadcast journalists because I
- 42:24Speaker 7: wanted to be on TV. It's how I fell into that.
- 42:27Speaker 7: And I love, I love, I really do love to
- 42:30Speaker 7: see people finally get that platform. So that does bring
- 42:33Speaker 7: me joy. But to your point earlier, which I don't
- 42:36Speaker 7: know was being recorded, at some point, you have to
- 42:40Speaker 7: be visible and you have to you know, chase your
- 42:43Speaker 7: dreams too, So.
- 42:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe that was recorded.
- 42:46Speaker 1: That really was it the business some point, at some
- 42:49Speaker 1: point it was a girl.
- 42:50Speaker 3: It was it. But you heard it, you clocked the tea.
- 42:55Speaker 1: No, I think I think that realizing because sometimes we
- 42:59Speaker 1: the people the number twos. I'm realizing the number twos,
- 43:03Speaker 1: the people that have played the number two, that some
- 43:05Speaker 1: people are called to be number twos for all day life.
- 43:07Speaker 1: Yeah right, and I thought that was me. I thought
- 43:10Speaker 1: I was obviously not, No.
- 43:15Speaker 3: Obviously not.
- 43:16Speaker 1: But how is the transition for you realizing that you're
- 43:21Speaker 1: not just the number two and coming in to being
- 43:23Speaker 1: number one?
- 43:26Speaker 3: Am I pulling on you? You are? It's a struggle.
- 43:31Speaker 7: It's a struggle because we do struggle with putting ourselves
- 43:34Speaker 7: and all publices we all kind of.
- 43:36Speaker 3: Try to struggle with this little bit. It's like pushing
- 43:39Speaker 3: putting ourselves before clients. A little bit.
- 43:41Speaker 7: Because you are hired right to get your client seen.
- 43:45Speaker 7: But in this season, God has been on me like
- 43:49Speaker 7: you need to do this, you need to do that,
- 43:50Speaker 7: And I'm like, okay, okay, okay, but I'm doing daily
- 43:55Speaker 7: doses of doing what he's calling to do, a boy,
- 43:57Speaker 7: putting myself more in the forefront, like you know you
- 43:59Speaker 7: follow me. So I've been more visible with my fitness journey.
- 44:02Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you about there, because baby, you've
- 44:04Speaker 1: been not you've been you go to you go work
- 44:07Speaker 1: out three times.
- 44:08Speaker 7: But that took a process. That took a like pray
- 44:11Speaker 7: to God months before.
- 44:13Speaker 1: I said, can you help me change my change my
- 44:15Speaker 1: my eating habit, like change my mind or I'm still
- 44:18Speaker 1: eating seat footballs and honey buns and all that type
- 44:20Speaker 1: of stuff.
- 44:21Speaker 7: And I was praying for. I didn't even realize what
- 44:23Speaker 7: I was really praying. Matter of fact, I had hurt
- 44:25Speaker 7: my leg at church and it was so bad and
- 44:28Speaker 7: I got a word and he said, you're gonna lose
- 44:30Speaker 7: that weight.
- 44:31Speaker 3: So I got offended. I was like, is he saying
- 44:33Speaker 3: I hurt my leg because.
- 44:34Speaker 1: I'm big, because the unhealthy version of you. Yes, it
- 44:40Speaker 1: was like, oh, well, I'm really comfortable with where I am,
- 44:43Speaker 1: but I really want to be somebody I really want
- 44:45Speaker 1: to be.
- 44:45Speaker 3: But I don't want to change. I wanted to just happen.
- 44:49Speaker 7: And so when you are doing, when you are going
- 44:51Speaker 7: down this journey, because I call it a journey, because
- 44:54Speaker 7: a journey, you're gonna fall, You're gonna you're gonna have
- 44:56Speaker 7: your cheap day, cheat with whatever.
- 44:58Speaker 3: Mental it's a journey, you know.
- 45:00Speaker 7: And so eventually, what I think, and this is what
- 45:03Speaker 7: people need to listen, is that God will bring people
- 45:06Speaker 7: in your life to He has a goal, like a
- 45:09Speaker 7: plan for you, and He will bring people in your
- 45:12Speaker 7: life to ensure what He planned for you takes place.
- 45:16Speaker 7: And after all of that, my big sister, my mentor
- 45:19Speaker 7: love her, my coach with I've tagged her and everything,
- 45:22Speaker 7: she finally got to me. She said, I just want
- 45:24Speaker 7: you to try it, just give me four months. I'm like, fine,
- 45:26Speaker 7: I'll do it. And I did, and I kept it
- 45:29Speaker 7: up and we're here.
- 45:31Speaker 3: Listen.
- 45:32Speaker 1: I'm I admire your journey because I know when I
- 45:36Speaker 1: first got into fitness, I shout out to Marcus Baldwin.
- 45:42Speaker 3: By Okay, he cussed me out every day and I
- 45:50Speaker 3: don't know why.
- 45:50Speaker 1: The list and but you keep going back and you
- 45:54Speaker 1: keep paying on people to cuss you out, and I'm like, god,
- 45:59Speaker 1: mean they be cussing and listen. I guess that that's
- 46:01Speaker 1: what I need because the way came off with the cussin. Yeah,
- 46:04Speaker 1: it does like real bad. But I found myself when
- 46:10Speaker 1: I didn't. When I didn't have that community, it was
- 46:12Speaker 1: a struggle to stay committed to that or whatnot.
- 46:16Speaker 3: So I do I miss that aspect.
- 46:17Speaker 1: So seeing you just like motivates me and like keeps
- 46:20Speaker 1: me because because how many pounds have you lost?
- 46:23Speaker 3: Good girl, girl, and you look every time you I'd like, oh.
- 46:31Speaker 1: I could be struggling, because I struggled a little bit
- 46:33Speaker 1: of body. This for me, so I'll be like, oh no,
- 46:37Speaker 1: I wouldn't lie to you. I would not even bring
- 46:39Speaker 1: it up because it's hard to be like, oh, yeah,
- 46:41Speaker 1: you you.
- 46:43Speaker 3: Look how you lying? But I enjoy it. I enjoy it.
- 46:48Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I'm like, okay, girl, you know
- 46:51Speaker 1: that's okay, you got it.
- 46:53Speaker 7: People be talking about me about my food that I
- 46:55Speaker 7: be eating, girl, I don't be you know, it'd be lucky,
- 46:59Speaker 7: it'd be dry, you know.
- 47:00Speaker 1: So what has been the biggest accomplished for me from
- 47:02Speaker 1: you of you during this journey with.
- 47:06Speaker 3: The fitness, with the actually still stuck with it.
- 47:09Speaker 7: That part, Like, no time in my adult life have
- 47:12Speaker 7: I been this consistent and wanted to be this consistent.
- 47:16Speaker 7: I just I can't even believe it. So when people
- 47:19Speaker 7: look at me like, oh you people told me that
- 47:21Speaker 7: I've inspired them to get into the gym and everything
- 47:23Speaker 7: we do. Look at y'all, look people look at I
- 47:27Speaker 7: think what I should do is be transparent on how
- 47:29Speaker 7: I got here.
- 47:29Speaker 3: Too. Is my doctor.
- 47:32Speaker 1: I think she just had enough for me, and so
- 47:39Speaker 1: she had enough for me, the honest doctors it had
- 47:43Speaker 1: it been because when I did my blood work in
- 47:45Speaker 1: January of twenty twenty four, she sent a message and
- 47:48Speaker 1: she basically was like, look over the past five years,
- 47:50Speaker 1: you have gained sixty pounds. And she was just like,
- 47:54Speaker 1: I'm just concerned at this point, your blood pressure is
- 47:57Speaker 1: up and down. You know, I need to put your
- 47:59Speaker 1: on medication, all these different things. And then my A
- 48:01Speaker 1: one ce just kept you know, being just in a
- 48:05Speaker 1: pre diabetic zone. So at that time she that was
- 48:08Speaker 1: the shot time.
- 48:09Speaker 7: I didn't know, it's the shot time is still going on,
- 48:12Speaker 7: but it was like we were hearing that.
- 48:14Speaker 3: That was at the introduction of what we were hearing.
- 48:16Speaker 7: About shots, and so she threw a shot at me,
- 48:18Speaker 7: which is a different shot.
- 48:20Speaker 3: It's not in the same category as ozimpic. So she
- 48:23Speaker 3: wanted me to get on it. I was.
- 48:25Speaker 7: I was scared because I don't want to inject. I
- 48:27Speaker 7: didn't want to inject anything in me. But I at
- 48:30Speaker 7: that point, honestly, I was I want my blook. Everything
- 48:32Speaker 7: she was saying was right, like it was. I was
- 48:35Speaker 7: gaining and I had a problem with food, and.
- 48:37Speaker 3: I didn't even realize I was so big jet Like,
- 48:39Speaker 3: I didn't even realize it.
- 48:40Speaker 7: Sometimes you get big, you don't even you're just comfortable,
- 48:42Speaker 7: you know. And so I did try it. And so
- 48:46Speaker 7: I tried it. And the only thing I could say
- 48:48Speaker 7: about it when I was on it, like literally because
- 48:50Speaker 7: it was because it was so popular. It never was
- 48:53Speaker 7: in stock, So I think I was on it maybe
- 48:55Speaker 7: like two times throughout my entire tire journey.
- 48:58Speaker 3: Because it was never in stock.
- 48:59Speaker 7: And so so what it did helped, like it did
- 49:02Speaker 7: help like by eating like meaning as in I wasn't
- 49:05Speaker 7: as hungry. But I tell people that reach out to
- 49:09Speaker 7: me and ask me I was like, y'all, I stay
- 49:10Speaker 7: with I had a fitness nutrition coach, like my coach.
- 49:14Speaker 7: We were doing my I had was on very strict
- 49:15Speaker 7: meals and I was working out and so as you
- 49:18Speaker 7: can see, and it's never no shade. But you can
- 49:21Speaker 7: compare me to someone that's been on the shop for
- 49:22Speaker 7: sixty five with sixty five pounds, we look different because
- 49:26Speaker 7: I've got strength trained. I've been doing this for eighteen months.
- 49:28Speaker 7: And then I also I wasn't on the shot.
- 49:29Speaker 3: Like that like I was.
- 49:30Speaker 7: It was just it was I was in a program
- 49:32Speaker 7: with them, with my doctor, and it was always out
- 49:34Speaker 7: of stop. So I was like, how you can't be
- 49:36Speaker 7: consistent on anything, like if the medicine is not in
- 49:39Speaker 7: or you know what I'm saying. So that's essentially how
- 49:42Speaker 7: it happened. So when a doctor tells you like, look,
- 49:44Speaker 7: I'm about to put your highlood pressure medicine, you know
- 49:48Speaker 7: you got you get into prophecies and you know you're
- 49:50Speaker 7: kind of feeling like you're out of breath and stuff
- 49:52Speaker 7: like that. You're like, and I was only thirty, yeah, thirty.
- 49:55Speaker 7: And then also my dad passed.
- 49:57Speaker 1: Up card I was just about to ask you diabetes
- 50:01Speaker 1: on both sides, high blood pressure, bad hearts on his side.
- 50:05Speaker 7: So I'm having heart pablitation randomly because I love like
- 50:09Speaker 7: all of these things. And so now I look at
- 50:12Speaker 7: because it was spoken over my life, like where you're going.
- 50:15Speaker 7: You can't, you know, have that mindset of food and
- 50:21Speaker 7: not working out.
- 50:22Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't be tired. I'll be tired girl walking. Yeah,
- 50:25Speaker 1: and it shouldn't be a girl. I got the energy
- 50:27Speaker 1: of probably God, now you know what I'm saying. So
- 50:35Speaker 1: that's a real discipline. I believe that we all should get.
- 50:38Speaker 1: Now granted, you know, I like my little ginger on
- 50:40Speaker 1: my eminem's or whatever, but you gotta establish that mindset
- 50:44Speaker 1: before you start to go that go back that way?
- 50:47Speaker 3: Does it make sense? Yeah, that makes perfect.
- 50:48Speaker 7: Because you know, like, oh all right, I didn't have
- 50:50Speaker 7: about three days fun with y'all. I know because I
- 50:53Speaker 7: what because my my mind will get back to that
- 50:56Speaker 7: old place where I was, and you don't want to
- 50:58Speaker 7: you don't want.
- 50:59Speaker 3: To go there.
- 50:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 51:00Speaker 3: That's that's so powerful. That's so that's so needed.
- 51:02Speaker 1: And I think that you being committed to your health,
- 51:07Speaker 1: it's already breaking generational curses that you never knew. Really
- 51:12Speaker 1: because us as black people. Let's just keep it straight.
- 51:15Speaker 1: We love sugar, we love you know, salt or wanting
- 51:20Speaker 1: to taste good and unfortunately it can't taste all that
- 51:26Speaker 1: good like and not just what it is.
- 51:28Speaker 3: It can't. You can't.
- 51:29Speaker 7: You can't have all that sodium. Yeah, you can't have
- 51:31Speaker 7: all that salt that water retention like. And people don't
- 51:34Speaker 7: want to they don't want to hear it, you know.
- 51:35Speaker 7: But it's the truth though.
- 51:36Speaker 3: Oh well, you know you're eating healthy. You know it's
- 51:38Speaker 3: gotta taste good.
- 51:39Speaker 1: It can, yeah, but it ain't gonna taste good like
- 51:41Speaker 1: big Mama house, right, it ain't gonna taste like that,
- 51:44Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
- 51:44Speaker 7: So you kind of really have to train again. It's
- 51:46Speaker 7: all about discipline. It's all about what are you willing
- 51:49Speaker 7: to negate? Like what are you willing to give up?
- 51:52Speaker 7: And we don't want to do that. We don't want
- 51:53Speaker 7: to give up nothing.
- 51:54Speaker 1: But even what's coming up for what you just originally
- 51:56Speaker 1: said when you started talking, you said you asked God
- 51:59Speaker 1: to help you because you knew that was an area
- 52:02Speaker 1: like we talk about strongholds in church and we talk
- 52:05Speaker 1: about like what's holding you back in generational opportunities, right,
- 52:09Speaker 1: but we don't think of it as food or just
- 52:15Speaker 1: something that we take for granted, like a daily thing.
- 52:18Speaker 3: And you were like, God, I need help with that.
- 52:20Speaker 1: And I think that it speaks to your the desire
- 52:23Speaker 1: that God wants you to be open about everything. Yeah,
- 52:26Speaker 1: because we only we only thank God to be able
- 52:30Speaker 1: to fix the big things. Right, And that was big
- 52:32Speaker 1: for you, but for somebody else it might have been
- 52:35Speaker 1: small or whatever, like oh just go just go to gym,
- 52:37Speaker 1: and y'all coaches that be saying, oh, y'all just go
- 52:39Speaker 1: to gymp, shut up like Deesil Ray be quiet. I
- 52:44Speaker 1: love y'all. That's why I like Crystal Crystal. So Crystal
- 52:47Speaker 1: shout out to Crystal name Evans, Evans, shout out of
- 52:51Speaker 1: Crystal Evans. She provided a way for women, your everyday
- 52:57Speaker 1: woman to get online. We work out at four days
- 53:00Speaker 1: out the weeks, Monday through Friday. She has three to
- 53:03Speaker 1: four sessions out of the day and then on Saturday
- 53:06Speaker 1: she does this like dance zoomba type thing.
- 53:08Speaker 3: It's all onlines on zoom right.
- 53:13Speaker 1: We get to pick what time we get yah, and
- 53:16Speaker 1: it's for twenty five dollars for the year.
- 53:19Speaker 3: Wow.
- 53:19Speaker 1: So she all she does is right, and I'm saying
- 53:21Speaker 1: all she does, but she tells us what we'll do
- 53:25Speaker 1: for the day, She provides a meal plan for the
- 53:29Speaker 1: for the month, right so we.
- 53:30Speaker 3: Can choose or whatever.
- 53:32Speaker 1: And she's just really adamant, and she's like I'll say, hey,
- 53:37Speaker 1: I'm struggling here, or how you do this or I'm
- 53:39Speaker 1: messing up or I've even talked to her, was like, girl,
- 53:42Speaker 1: I'm I feel like quitn because I don't see it
- 53:45Speaker 1: feel like nothing and it's working. And she was like, no,
- 53:48Speaker 1: just look at this, look at that, like really do
- 53:50Speaker 1: so she really meets you where you are. And so
- 53:54Speaker 1: just shout out to the coaches that really are impactful
- 53:57Speaker 1: and knowing that it's bigger just the loss.
- 54:00Speaker 3: Of fact it doesn't work, it does work.
- 54:02Speaker 1: And and also to being really patient with yourself.
- 54:06Speaker 3: You that's good.
- 54:07Speaker 7: And I think we do stretch saying give yourself grace,
- 54:09Speaker 7: but truly you have to give yourself grace because my
- 54:11Speaker 7: body is different than your body, and so you lose
- 54:14Speaker 7: weight in certain areas that.
- 54:15Speaker 3: I don't lose weight, like my legs and thighs just
- 54:18Speaker 3: gotta hold on me.
- 54:19Speaker 7: But that is literally in my gene whereas I'll lose
- 54:22Speaker 7: it in other areas where some people don't. So you
- 54:24Speaker 7: got different shapes, you got different DNA.
- 54:26Speaker 3: Like that's a real thing.
- 54:28Speaker 7: And I think again, that's why I call it a
- 54:30Speaker 7: journey and being just I'm just proud of anybody that's
- 54:33Speaker 7: working out because it's hard.
- 54:34Speaker 3: Listen, I don't care what people say.
- 54:37Speaker 7: You know, it's hard to put on clothes and to
- 54:40Speaker 7: work out when you really could just go to the count,
- 54:42Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. But it does change just
- 54:45Speaker 7: the energy in your body.
- 54:46Speaker 3: That's so good. I feel like I could talk to
- 54:48Speaker 3: you all day. Yeah, like I really do.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Like, so this can't be your last time, like showing
- 54:53Speaker 1: up on a platform, but does a rate Like we've
- 54:55Speaker 1: been we've been talking talking like I had to catch
- 54:58Speaker 1: myself like, let me look at this time because we
- 55:01Speaker 1: were looking at this time, doesn't right? What you what
- 55:04Speaker 1: you over there thinking about you? No, it's been good.
- 55:07Speaker 1: I think again. Sometimes I love the humanis of the conversation.
- 55:13Speaker 1: You know, sometimes people get caught up in you're like, hey,
- 55:18Speaker 1: she's a this, or she's a dad, But the truth
- 55:20Speaker 1: of the matter is no, she's a she's a daughter,
- 55:22Speaker 1: she's a she's a person, you know. So. I loved
- 55:25Speaker 1: that we got to see a little bit more on
- 55:27Speaker 1: the other side of your of your professional who you
- 55:30Speaker 1: are you know so, and it's been a pleasure because
- 55:31Speaker 1: this is my first first time media and interacting with you.
- 55:34Speaker 1: And then when you walked in, I was like, good,
- 55:39Speaker 1: I love it. Y'all felt warm in here, Like it
- 55:42Speaker 1: just feels good to be around good people, you know,
- 55:45Speaker 1: like with good, genuine hearts, no alternative motive.
- 55:48Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. I think we need more
- 55:51Speaker 3: of that. We need more good people listen, because because
- 55:55Speaker 3: I don't.
- 55:55Speaker 7: I don't want you around me if you just looking
- 55:57Speaker 7: at me because of what I got. Yeah, and I
- 56:00Speaker 7: don't want nobody around you because oh okay, I see
- 56:03Speaker 7: what just Cory Jessica's apart.
- 56:04Speaker 3: You know, she got a podcast, she could speak, she profited,
- 56:08Speaker 3: she got you, and it's a long game for them. Yeah.
- 56:11Speaker 3: That that's not.
- 56:14Speaker 1: Good because we're not We're not in it because the Lord,
- 56:16Speaker 1: the Lord is not allowing the pimps to come around. Okay,
- 56:19Speaker 1: we blocked pimps in the name. We declare come on,
- 56:23Speaker 1: we declare genuine relationships that will pour into us because
- 56:29Speaker 1: we've poured into We've literally poured when we didn't feel
- 56:33Speaker 1: like it, and we didn't have the energy, when we
- 56:35Speaker 1: couldn't get out of bed, when we were depressed.
- 56:36Speaker 7: Because the enemy fights us so much. Come on, literally,
- 56:40Speaker 7: he fights a purpose and the destiny that he already
- 56:43Speaker 7: knows you already hear the prayers. Yeah, so I'm just decreeing,
- 56:46Speaker 7: declaring that maybe the community is here, those that are
- 56:49Speaker 7: men support and given to us those checks and up
- 56:52Speaker 7: all of deposits.
- 56:54Speaker 1: Come on, I saw you were doing this. Look I'm
- 56:56Speaker 1: just giving this like the wealth transfer. Come on, is he?
- 57:00Speaker 3: Come on?
- 57:01Speaker 1: Ooh that's look, she just gave me my word back.
- 57:06Speaker 7: You can't have this glow, you know what I'm saying, Like,
- 57:08Speaker 7: you can't have this gift, this voice, like all the
- 57:11Speaker 7: things you've been doing, girt these big stages I've been watching.

- 57:34Speaker 1: is a whole conversation. When your name is on the moniker,
- 57:39Speaker 1: they coming to Sarah Busby, they come into Jessica.
- 57:44Speaker 3: They ain't coming to the team. They not They might
- 57:46Speaker 3: not even come to Uh that's Ray. They gonna come
- 57:50Speaker 3: to you.
- 57:51Speaker 7: Ye, Like that's a real it's tough being when God
- 57:55Speaker 7: has said I want you to lead and I want
- 57:57Speaker 7: you to be in the forefront.
- 57:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 57:58Speaker 7: Now we could talk about elevation and God elevates us.
- 58:02Speaker 7: But every level has another level of responsibility, has another
- 58:06Speaker 7: level of warfare. But at the end of the day,
- 58:09Speaker 7: you looking at my skirt, you're looking at my headshot. Listen,

- 59:33Speaker 3: be a real conference. I'm like, lord, what what uh?
- 59:37Speaker 1: Enrique college Holy made the whole playlist?
- 59:42Speaker 3: My lord? We just go call it a college No,
- 59:45Speaker 3: like real talk.
- 59:46Speaker 1: But I also know in that area for me personally, see,
- 59:48Speaker 1: if I'm just honest, there's some necessary healing that I
- 59:52Speaker 1: gotta go through, real bad, real big and real bad.
- 59:56Speaker 3: You know, I'm learning, girl, I got what I got?
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: What you got convicted.
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: Uh. I was watching the episode you know, hardly initiated
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: with Tysha and Ryan. I love them, got those guys.
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: But they had a young lady. I don't know her
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: and I think her name was April. I don't know
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: her last name, but she's a dark skinned lady. I
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: think she's in her fifties, but bad to the bone, right,
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: she wanted an old school lady. And she was just
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: talking about how we as women, especially with women women
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: that believe in God, we just kind of kind of
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: discredit God by the way we carry ourselves. And so
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: it's not just a manner of a manner of just
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: like what we say or whatever, but even how we
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: present ourselves, and we become lasadaisical in our presentation. And
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: so I was like, I started like I felt convicted.
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: So I leaned into that conviction, and the Lord was
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: just showing me how I become lasadaisical with myself because
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: I don't feel worthy of being, you know, updue and
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: being the woman that I think I envisioned myself to
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: be a long time ago, when I was your little girl,
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: I used to have dreams about being like my mom is,
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: seeing how she rest and putting on heels, and now
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put on no heels, not too much
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: because my feet be heard, but.
