• 3:54
  Speaker 3: What's the point? He is like, listen, don't everything.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I think I think you know about through everything, through everything.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: What's the season? Current season like for you? This is
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: a very transitional season for me, ooh in a lot
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: of ways because I think that I have been I've
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: been in real estate for ten years. So year seven
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I opened the brokerage, and you know, now this is
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: you know, going into three years of owning the brokerage,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: and I think that it's a very hard transition, right
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: because it's like you've been used to being realtor Megan
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: for so long and it's like, Okay, I've mastered my
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: craft doing this. I know exactly what I'm doing when
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: it come to selling houses, you know, but being in
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: a broker space and then being young and being in
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: a broker space cause I order you again thirty one
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: thirty one Okay, So it's like and I'm the youngest
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: founder of a real estate brokerage firm in Birmingham ever.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: So it's kind of like when you're walking into that
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: unknown territory, you're figuring it out, and then it's like
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I really don't have anyone to look to necessarily because
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: nobody's my age in that space. So even though I have,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I've been blessed with great mentors. You know, I'm bringing
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna bring the culture, you know what I mean.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: But I'm also gonna bring the young energy. So the
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: way that they would do things versus the way I'm
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: gonna do it is gonna be different.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: What's the challenges that you've been facing with that being
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the youngest. Yeah, I mean I think that you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: we're in Alabama, so I think that a lot of times.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Luckily I've made a name for myself in the real
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: estate industry period, right, But I do think that you
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: do run across people that because they see me or
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: they hear my voice and I'm like, oh, they think
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I just got in I'm like no, I've been in
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a decade, you know. And I think that sometimes people
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: don't respect that authority out the gate and they'll you know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: try to little girl you.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: In a sense, you know what I mean. So I
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: think that's kind of a thing in some capacity. But
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I think what happens is as we continue those conversations
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: and the more I speak, the more they're like, hm,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: you know what she's talking. But there's always an intimidation
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: aspect of it, right, because I'm I've taken that risk
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: where so many have chosen not to right, and so
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I think that that's an ongoing thing. People always gonna
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: be intimidated, especially if be going against the ground. What
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: made you take the risk in the first place? Not
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: my choice. How the Lord does his chosen people. Yeah,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: it ain't your choice. It's never your choice cause if
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: you chosen what was I would have stayed with. I
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: woulda say, it's still a real estate period as a realtor.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I didn't know what I want this and this is
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: the thing. So I never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: wanted to be a broker. Uh huh. That is I
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: It is an ongoing joke. Like with all my friends
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: that are you know, been with me as I grew
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: in the real estate interustry, They're like, oh yeah, may
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: it never wanted that ever, cause people would ask me
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: for years. People been asked me that question for years.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: You wan'na get your brother's license. I'm like, oh no,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: not me, No, no, no, I'm straight because I didn't
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: want the responsibility. I didn't want the liability. I'm like,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I'm good with where I'm at I'm fine, I'm good
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: doing this. I do this. Well, let's stay there. You know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I'm comfortable. Comfort and so about right at year seven,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: God was like he started showing me that that's what
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: he wanted me to do. And the signs, the way
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: the Lord speaks to me, y'all, it's it's really scary sometimes,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: but I've learned to grow accustomed to it because it's
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: also I'm very intentional with my prayers. So I'm intentional
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: about asking God to talk to me multiple ways and
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: give me constant confirmation like my prayers always got. Send
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: me constant confirmation so that I cannot mistake your voice. Yeah,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: send me that. I need you to say. The prophecies,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the dreams, the scriptures, the random person walking down the street.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I need all that so that I can know. I
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: don't want to question this, you want to come down here.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: So it became clear through several things. First thing was,
• 8:00

• 11:51
  Speaker 3: you know what, God, I need you to make this clear.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I said, just make it clear. So at that point
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I called. I was like, let me just see when
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: a classes start. It's no harm of me just getting
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: you know, technically, I'll just get the license. At least
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: I can be like I got a broke license. He
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: don't and nothing else. So I decide to call. They
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: starting them in like three days. I'm like, all right
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: for you, let's do it. So I signed up for
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: the classes. I passed the exam, and I was so
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: intrigued taking the classes because now I have all this
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: experience to go with what I'm learning. So I'm learning
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, that's just like when Keisha and
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: them went through it, practical experience. So now I'm like
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I'm excited learning, you know, at this point, so ace
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: the exam, all of that had a blast. I was like,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I was just joking in the class every day, like
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: you know, it was just funning me. So once I
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: passed and I posted that I passed and I had it,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: everybody was like, what are you gonna do with it?
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: What are you gonna do it? I'm talking about everywhere
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I went, if I ran into somebody real estate wise,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: what are you gonna do? What we're gonna do? And
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I was so overwhelmed by everybody consistently asking me. I
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: was like, God, this one of them times I'm really, really,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: really gonna need you to make it clear. Yeah. And
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: I was on my porch and I was praying, and
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I said, God, I was in tears because I'm like,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I want to be in your will. Yeah, but I
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: don't want to do this. Let's be clear, I do
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: not want to do this. But if this is what
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: you want me to do, you got to make it clear.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: You got to make it extremely clear. As I'm praying,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: my best friend's mom calls me and I was like, oh, okay,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: I call my car back. She was like, yo, one
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: of the family friends want to pray with you. Wow,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: I said, really, Hm, how ironic. So I call him
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: that evening. He says, I know you're scared, but God
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: said do it anyway. Mind you. I had my broker's license,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: but I didn't have the company license to open the
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: real estate firm, and he said, get that license so
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: God can bless you like he wants to. At that point,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: what do you say?
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: No?
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: What do you say? Because you made it? He made
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: it very clear to the point where I couldn't say no.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: And did you know this person like it? No, Jesus,
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: he didn't even know me and my friend. His mom
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: didn't even know all that. She didn't even know nothing
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: about anything. Nothing. Yeah, I didn't even say anything to
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: my best friend. So you know what I'm saying, There's
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: no way he could have known anything. The prayers of
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: the righteous prevailan listen, because.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I remember sitting down and after the whole Tabitha Brown moment,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: child God, so good, listen. I was it was before

  Speaker 1: even It was as I was going through that, that

  Speaker 1: If this is your time to go, wow, I'm gonna
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: be okay with it.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: I was like, I'm straight, this is a moment. I
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: still got to pay my bills. You get what I'm saying.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: It's not even hype. This up. Kept hearing, it kept hearing.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: And it it frustrated me so much that I went
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to God, that's how you do it, if I can
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: do it. It frustrated me so much as I went
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: to God, God will frustrate you into his presence. Shot
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: though it's me with Look, God will frustrate you into
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: your presence. And so literally, I would sitting on the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: couch studying, getting myself together or whatever. And right before
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I started studying, I said, God, if this is if
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I need to leave my job, If this is what
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: you're there, make it plain, girl. I'm sitting here on YouTube,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: ith girl. It gets me every time I'm sitting on
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you watching you.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: You can't make it up. You can't. You can't make
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: this up.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I'm watching one video, miss tab and then you know
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: how all the plays or whatever, you know, the Terrell Show.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Terreal show. She was on there.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Literally it clicks on and she says, now you need
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: to go ahead and pack up your stuff because you
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: know you want to live your dream.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: You mean to tell me I'm still here minding my business.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I just asked you, and not even thirty minutes later
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you sit here and slap me in my face. Just
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: before after the interview, this is before. This is before
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: it before I had just been asked. It was between
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: the asking, thank you all the spirit. It was between
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the acc and the execution. Wow, they're now in the
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: middle of the confirmation.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: In the middle. Maybe I feel like I'm gonna tailor
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: club book.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I read it because the thing about it is making
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think people understand, especially with one of your caliber, right,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Like there is a risk, absolutely, like having.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Faith is risky. First of all, let's be clear, having
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: faith is not for the week. This is not a joke.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: This is not a game. This is not easy work. Listen,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: walking by faith is not a You gotta think about it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Just think about even somebody who is blindfolded. If if
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: if if if the scripture says that it is impossible
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: to please God without faith. If the scripture says that
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: we walk by faith and not by sight. This is
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: you being blindfolded walking down the stream. Yeah, not knowing
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: what's coming doing this called life. You're trusting, You're trusting
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: the voice of God while your eyes are blinded. You
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: can't see what's in front of you. Just gotta walk
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: and you gotta hear. That's like somebody that's like us
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: literally being blindfolded and walking down the street and God saying,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: bus that right, But you hear bears and.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Dogs, you see, you see snakes, feelings, but you don't
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: know what it is.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: No, this is so good. So what I heard you
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: say and it just shundled me real good. I love
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: the words shun though I don't know me real good?
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Is that God frustrated me into my blessing? For sure,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: God frustrated me into my blessing, and so I can
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: only imagine, I can only imagine being in this space
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: although you're learning not only being blessed, but being the blessing.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Can you tell me a story or give me an
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: example of how being a broker and not just a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: what you got a real estate agent has allowed you.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: To bless others?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that I would say probably the biggest
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: piece is that there's only so much that you can
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: do by yourself. Even if I were to start a
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: team under a different you know, under a real estate
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: company or whatever, and I was an agent, but I
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: had a team. The difference is that the inspiration that
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I served to the others.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: By walking by faith, I think that's the key. That's
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: the part that God needed for me because he knows
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: how I'm going to walk by faith. That's just me.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know any other way. I don't. I don't.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I don't trust anything else. I don't. I only know Him.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: So for me, I think it's serving as that example,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: you know, a to my team for one, because I'm I.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: God is rooted in everything that I do. Yeah, right,
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: So it's only so much that I can impact that
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I can make it by myself. But if I pour
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: into my team and I make sure that my team
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: knows we we're gonna keep God at the forefront of
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: everything that we do, period. And then they have that mindset,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: and then they instill that in their clients, and then
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: they instill that in their families. That ripple effect is
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: so much greater because now I have a chance to
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: really instill this into my people, you know what I mean.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: And then it's like, by me being in this broker space, now,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't receive the recognition that I'm receiving had I
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: just been an agent. Mm, I would not like the awards,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: these things. It it would it, It wouldn't be. Yeah,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: So I think the inspirational piece is probably the biggest
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: impact is somebody being able to look at me and
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: what thing about it is. I'm gonna tell a full story.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: I'm never gonna be I'm never gonna show the highlight
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: reel and I tell you how I cried in the dark.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. Yeah, let's talk about crying in
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: the dark.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Because I think people.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Sniffle, sniffle, Yeah, listen, No, because I understand that they're
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: they're let me ask you this, because I don't think
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I have clarity on this. So I do have an
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: understanding that your father is no longer with us, right
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: at what point in this journey did he transition?
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Yes, So my dad passed in twenty nineteen, and actually
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: his birthday was on the eleventh, but twenty nineteen. So
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: I got into the industry at twenty sixteen. Okay, So
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: twenty nineteenth. By twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, I was in
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: my rhythm, you know what I'm saying. I had started
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: getting really I started getting good, get out. I mean,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: I was learning my flow. Twenty nineteen, though, I it
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: was the hardest year of my life, the heartest year,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: and not just because I lost my dad, but like
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: the beginning of that year up until that point. He
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: passed in November of that year, but that whole year,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: it was problem after problem I'm talking about I was
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: having so many deals fall apart off of nothing that
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: I was doing. It would be like people. Literally I
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: had situations where like people kids had gotten killed, and
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: like things that you know what I'm saying, Like deal's
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: falling apart so consistent that I'm like what am I
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: finna do? My mom had got diagnosed or breast cancer
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: at the time, like stage four, so I had moved
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: her in with me. So now I'm taking care of
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: my mother while I'm trying to stay aflow. And just
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I lose
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: him and I'm I'm devastated because it I also lost
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: him to a heart attacking his sleep, So it wasn't
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: a surprise. It was a surprise. I was literally I
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: was out showing and that was like the end of
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: the night. And I was like, man, I'm I just
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: want some some uh spanishep? I'm'a go, i'ma to Aple East.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sitting there in the parking lot. My cousin is
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: blowing my phone up to you who never really calls me,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, why is she calling me? So I
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: was like, I'll call it back in a minute. Did
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: she call again? Did she call again? So when she calls,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: that's why I hate people triple calling me to this day.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: It really rides.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: It grinds my gears. Please don't it's not an emergency.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Please don't you triple cof Yeah.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Please no, please call me like this. But I saw
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: that and I was like, okay, let me answer. So
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: when I answered, she was like, you need to get
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: to Columbiana right now. So my dad's side is from Colombiana, Okay.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: My mom started from Birmingham. So I was like, what
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: do I need to come to Columbiana? For first of all,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: it's no hospitals in Columbiana. So this is a very
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: small cr country town. So there is one grocery store,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: few gas stations, so I'm like, what do I It's
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: at a clock, Like, why do I need to come to?
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: I was like, what am I coming down there for?
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: She was like, just get here. So I know something's
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: wrong at this point, but I know, I I know
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: it has to be either I know end up. And
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: because of my cousin, who's calling me, it's a My
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: My grandparents had nine siblings, okay, it was nine children.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: So I was like, it's not your dad because you're
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: calling me so like, it's not him. So it was
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: down to my aunt and my dad. So I was like,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I said, who house I need to come to? She said,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: it don't matter, just come mind you all my folks
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: live on the same street, so she knew I would
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: pass my aunt's house and obviously go to my dad house.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: I pull up in the yard and police is in
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: the yard, all the families standing in the yard, and
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: my uncle said, it's your dad. He's gone. And I
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: felt like I was in a movie. I felt like
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: I was in a dream, Like I I thought, am
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I awake right now? Am I really? And so I'm
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: trying to go in the house. They're like, no, you
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: don't wanna go. You don't wanna go because he had
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: died and he had been gone for three days and
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: we didn't know yup, and the heat was on in
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: the house cause this is November, so his body had
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: started deteriorating. They like, you don't wanna see him like this,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Like maggots, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, And so
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: my aunt, my other aunt, lived next door to him,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: so they were like, you just go sit there, you know,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: don't see him. You don't wanna see him. And I
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: just felt like I was in a twilight zone because
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: I was left to figure it out. I'm my dad's
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: only child. Yeah, so now I'm the executive of his will.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out what to do with your car, this, that,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: and the third. I've never experienced this before, so I'm
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: trying to do that while I still got my mom,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: while I'm still trying to navigate the business. And I'll
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: just I was so I I've never been more overwhelmed
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: in my life. And and I think that though, that
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: was such a pivotal moment for me though in my business,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: because it showed me that I need systems. Because I
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: was so good. It really showed me that because I
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: remember a man said to me, he said, oh, man,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: I'm this Like day later he said, man, I'm so
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: sorry to hear about about your dad. Can I still
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: see this house?
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: What?
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Because people want what they want?
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: That, I mean, you can be mad, but then people
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: just gonna be like, but I still need what I.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Need, what I need. Life goes on. So it's like
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: and when I realized that, I was like, Wow, I'm
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: gonna need some help. I'm gonna need some help. I
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: can't do it. Say God for help. I'm back to God.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I'm about to sell. Oh girl, the help is and
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: God will sing you the right help. Yeah, He'll sing
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: you the right help. You're talking good girl that moment.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: And let me tell you how God is so good.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Though that was twenty nineteen, guess what happens next COVID exactly.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: So COVID was like a whoop. It was a trip.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: My business tripled overnight. So imagine you already being like, man,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: I need to I need to get some help. I
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: need to get some sisters. You start trying to put
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: the scisms in play. But then COVID happened, and you
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: got to put them in place. It would be like
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: during COVID, a house could go on the market. Today
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: I could pull up on this street block hot, I'm
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: talking about cars all down the street called the agent. Hey,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: how many offers? You got?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: What?
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Fifteen? So it was that like, you gotta go that day.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: You gotta go that day, and you gotta make a
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: decision within the hour or you're gonna lose. It's over with.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: And that was the most overwhelming time, Lord Jesus, I
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: thank god, you know I got to I read, but
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: it was overwhelmed. So what did it help look like
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: for you as a realtor? Yes, so help for me
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: looked like showing assistance. That was a big thing for
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: me because, like I said, you had to be there immediately,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: right then and there. So I had to start getting
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: people like, Okay, these people live on the east side.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Let me keep them in my pocket for when somebody
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: needs someone on the east side. These people live on
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: the west side. And then so for me, it was like,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: it's much easier to get somebody to show for you
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: if they live up the street, right, So it's like okay,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: but they got to be an agent. Yeah, So now
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: I'm like Okay, let me figure out where all the
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: agents that I could that I liked, that I.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Would want my clients to be around. Okay, they live
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: in Kalira. Okay you Kalira, you Alabaster.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: You you know what I'm saying. So that way, because
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: at that point in time, I had like twenty one
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: people preapproved at one time. So think about that. Everybody's
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: prey approved at one time. Everybody's trying to find a
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: house at one time, and everybody gotta go right then,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: how can they don't have time to wait for you?
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: And you only one person? One person? And this is
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: the house in cale this, how's it be house? No way?
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: It was no way. And so I think that was
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: the big piece. And then the systems, like you know,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: making sure that everything that I could automate I automated.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: That was the big piece, you know, instead of like
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: you know, me going back and forth trying to schedule appointment. Okay,
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: let me sing you this calend lead you know, let
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: me listen. Get that right. So I think that was
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: the biggest that made the biggest difference.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: No, So it sounds like that moment of frustration going
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: back to moments of frustration leading to the promises of God.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: It prepared you for so many ways, girl, that and
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: I thank God all the time because as hurtful as
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: that season was, as hard as that season was, it
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: prepared me on so many levels that I don't even
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I thank God for it all the time, even though
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: it still hurts. It was necessary, and I was It's
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: so funny because I was just talking to one of
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: my best friends. I said, you know, God really does
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: know where to cut you. He really does know what
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: to cut you. And I was like, there's a big difference.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: It's almost like a surgent versus somebody just cutting you.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Right, It's like he's cutting you to make you better. Yeah,
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: he's cutting you to heal you. He's cutting you because
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: these things have to be removed. They gotta be fixed
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: in order to take you here. Had that moment not happened,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't have understand Like, I wouldn't have understood how
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: much I needed those systems. I wouldn't have understood how
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: to maneuver during hard times because hard times are inevitable. Yeah,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: like life is gonna happen, people are gonna die, things
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: are gonna happen. And I had never experienced something like
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: that while running my business. So now when life happens,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: I'm more prepared now, you know what I'm saying. I
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: anticipate life happening. Now. I set my systems up so
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: that I can be able to grieve. I can be
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: able to take a step back. Right. But had that
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: happened not happened, I wouldn't have been prepared.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I was talking to Coach D. She's my spiritual mother's
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: defund b. Yeah. So Coach JD had his accident in February, and.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: In that moment, oh God, so good. When I tell you.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: You had never even know that is I was blown
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: because the public didn't know. But when we found that
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: walking out of life telling you he is a living
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: miracle twice. I was about to say, because this wasn't
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the first time coach has been on our platform twice.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: The first time he was on here, he's talked to
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: us testimony. You have to you have to go back
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and listen to it. He talked about like what is
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: it the vertebrae or whatever back in a car accident,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: him mama, His mama was taking care of him at
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: this time, like he was in another accident. It was
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: both and God delivered him in Listen. This is why
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I'm telling people like I don't understand the disbelief in
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the Lord, like I don't. I don't understand it.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know it. I don't know I know what
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: that life is like. And I don't know how I
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: could function without God. I have no idea how I
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: could walk this path without them. Listen.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: It's impossible because it's like and then the people that
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: say I believe in God, but don't lean into it,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: like it's one thing to say, oh yeah, I know
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: God real, but do you what's the relationship like? Because
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: you don't watched this, you don't get the benefits if
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: you don't lean out. It's like having access to a
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: lot of money and you never spend it, you never invested,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: you never do what you're supposed to do.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: It's like us having a charger right here to be
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: able to plug up, but it's not plugged. If it's
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: not plugged, are it is good to me?
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: But entrepreneurs, I think it's it's definitely a kingdom opportunity
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: to be an entrepreneurship. For one of the reasons of
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: what you said was to be able to maneuver through
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: life and still be taken care of systems. There's a
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: been fruscinate me about systems for the longest.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: I'm stress I'm a symsptems queen because I realize how
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: much easier, Like when you really get into that system bag,
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: you're going to be like, oh wow, I have been
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: working so much harder. Yeah, we have.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Systems for just ass but for like my personal business
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: right because we have a business together. Shout out to
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: increased media, but we have to be together. But just
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: for me, you know what I'm saying, and more my
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: stuff is like intellectual you know what I'm saying. It's
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: not a lot of tangible things. And that's why I
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: beat myself upside and navigate that. So that was that
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: word was for me and for you whoever watching this
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: and being commuted, because it's not just me, it's not either.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: So I want to give your business a little bit. Girl,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: what's this dating light with? I don't see nor gonna
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: finger you.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Y'all said it's empty?
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: No, but really be like you a baddy, you a batty,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: You got your own house, got your own car, two jobs,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: work hard you you know, listen, but we know when
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: we think about dating, but being a woman of stature,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: a woman of status, right.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: It's a little it's diggerent, it's a it's a little
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: girl house. I mean, Okay, So the biggest thing is
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: like me being single and being in this space at
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: this level. I think it's even harder for me because
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: and then also as a woman of God, like, first
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: of all, if they don't have a relationship with God,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: it's overweight. That's a problem. I can't do nothing with it. Honestly,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: I really can't, because I'm gonna come in like, oh, baby,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: this happened, and you're gonna be like, oh that, what's up?
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Get don't get it.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you out Lord is you need
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: to be excited. You you got to see because the
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: things that happened to me, I mean, it'd be a
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: lot of it be a lot going on that.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: It's like, I know, there's no way that could have happened,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: but God, it's a lot of one moments all the time.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: And so I think that finding somebody in itself, like
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: even even that in itself, like we already know as
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: the people that are true believers. Even a scripture says
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: that road is narrow, you get what I'm saying. So
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: it's already it's only this many people that actually have
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: a true relationship with God. So that's number one. So
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: he got to be a believer, you know what I mean,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: and not just a baby believer. You can't be just
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: getting in your in your Bible today. You know the
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: verse of the day. Ain't gonna get it. I'm sorry,
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: I read my vers. You got contact, He.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Got contact here. He got better relationship with the Bible
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: street than with the Lord. You know, how to keep
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: up with your days.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's cool, But then you got a physical Bible.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: If he ain't got a physical Bible, y'all might as
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: well leave me alone. Leave me alone. You don't kind
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: of physical Bible. Get out of here. It's the fact
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: that Okay, now this is the part that every time.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I get on the podcast it's always controversial, but I
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: don't care because it's the truth.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Okay. The bottom line is, I don't want a man
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: who's not on my level. What does your level look like?
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: So for me, financially, right, I've already spiritually I need
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: him be on my level, right, But financially I need
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: him to be on my level, like I think, and
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: I don't, and I hate to put a dollar amount
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: on it, but at the end of the day, I
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: don't have a low overhead. You get what I'm saying.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: So my thing is like, it's not that I need
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: a man to come in and pay my bills. But
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: if I'm gonna have a husband, which is what I'm
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: I'm seeking, right, if I'm if if if I'm looking
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: for a husband, then and we're gonna build a life
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: together and build a family together, Well, if I have
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: your children, anything could happen to me. You get what
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. Anything can happened to me. And so if
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: your whole salary for the year is only two months
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: and my bills did, how's gonna work? How's gonna work?
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: What is something happened to me and I gotta sow down?
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: How's that gonna work? You know what I'm saying. So
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: I just think you're logistically you're.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Like what you got to say, you said practically practically,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: but you gotta think. But but you you have groomed
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: yourself into this space, and so I think that that's
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: not for me.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: That's not controversial because it's part easier, you know, what
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. And my homeboys think it is only because
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: they like, why do and that's They're like, Megan, you
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: gotta think it's only so many men make a hundred thousand.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm around a lot of men and make
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: a hundred thousand, So I really don't see it as well.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: I don't see that as like a hard number to
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: get to.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: So let me ask you this, what if what if
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: a god approaches you he has everything but that he's
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: a man of God, right, he serves you, you know, unconditionally, right,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: and he's aspiring to get there. Are you open to
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: his growth into that number?
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: I've already did that. I tried. I've already did that.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: I tried already. Oh he did that. I mean my
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: thing is is it's not that I can't say that
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: I'm fully opposed. Right, I'm not gonna say, like, you know,
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: I'm one hundred percent of poles and at the end
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: of the day, I'm gonna be led by the Lord.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. So if the Lord be like,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: that's your husband, Okay, yeah, but.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: It's y'all audio people, y'all can't see her hand, but
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: she's turning upside down, Like I don't know if y'all
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: know they's means.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: With the lady.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like, it's not that I'm opposed to it.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: It's not that I'm like, Oh, he got to be
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: he gotta be rich, you know what I'm saying, He
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: has to be wealthy in order to approach me. I'm
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: just saying that I've worked hard to get to where
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: I'm at so and I'm and I'm consistently working hard
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: to stay where I'm at. So as a man, I
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: think that I want to be able to look to
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: him to be a provider period, you know what I mean.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: And it's not that I'm not opposed to it. But
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: at the same time, I've been in situations where I've
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: tried to see what happens, and you know what I'm saying.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: And it's a lot of men out there that will
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: talk about their dreams and talk about what they want
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: to do, and I'm talking about, I'm inspiring to do this.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I don't got that much sign to be white and
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: figured four I'm thirty, Like when are we gonna we're
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: talking about having kids? Like it's just a practical Like
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: when I look at all the facts.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I just don't see it working out. If he's work
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: at McDonald's, that's just all to it.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: But he can own the McDonald's he.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Might have. I just think that it's just you know,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: and I just think that I don't I'm not asking
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: for anything that I'm not already myself. And I think
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: that that's the biggest thing. This is what I keep
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: telling my friends.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: It's like, y'all, I am an anomaly on my own
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: and I understand that I get what I'm asking for
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: is the unicorns to some capacity. I do understand that.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: But I also believe that I am precious to the Kingdom,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: and I believe that I'm precious to God, and I
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: don't think that God would make me settle.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: So you don't you don't have the frustration of I
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: don't have a man right now?
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Oh no, man? So you are content? Not content? I mean,
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: of course, like you know, thermones. Let's keep it in
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: the book hormone now the reason why I agree. But
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: now I ain't gonna lie. I I got my head.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Just need to be chairing chaired right now.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I need somebody to cut which is back in the
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: house right now.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: But you know it's a little thing.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Coach d came over the other day talking with something.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: You need to pull out the girders.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Baby, who feel to touch a gird I'm not about
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: to touch a gudd I don't want to. So you
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: have to do is get a letter. I know, own
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: a letter. And I'm afraid of heights. Where you at? Husband?
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: Where are you? Where are you now? Now? Am I?
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: I am content? But actively looking? So you're open? Okay?
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: And then I think the biggest thing is because like
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: I say, like, I'm content with the fact of just
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: because I live a very peaceful life. You know what
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna I'm gonna go
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: and have a good time my friends. I'm gonna you
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, do me right? So I have
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: to be content because if I'm not content, then I'm unhappy. Yeah,
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: you see what I'm saying. So now I'm out here,
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: if I would just be taking whatever, and I don't
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: want that. Yeah, So I think that's what makes me
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: content because I'm like, I'm not willing to take whatever. Yeah.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: So I'm kind of like I'm very open and I
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: want him to be here asef I really pray that
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: he's on the way. Is it easy for you to
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: leave a relationship? Yes?
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Girl, Can you give me some of your juice? Cause
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: to be hard, I'll be saying too long, But I think.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: The biggest thing is prayer, right, so for me that
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: I know, but I'm saying specifically, how you pray about
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: that relationship. And when I say that, I mean like,
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: if I'm not sure if this man is my husband,
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: my prayer is always God. If this is not my husband,
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: remove him. Oh he'll do, protect him, keep him safe,
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: but remove him from my life and allow me the
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: strength and the peace to walk away from this situation
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: without any hard feelings. Give me the will power, give
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: me the strength to walk away from this without any
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: hurt feelings. And the way God will reveal those things
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: to you is like, I don't have no choice. Yeah,
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. It's certain things that can't
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: happen there to make you be like, well, I'm not Yeah,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: I ain't willing to do audience.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: But that's what that's really. When I was, I'm not
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: the same. I haven't dated and in this hell versus absolutely,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: And so I will say that's a little but that's
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: a man.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: I really pray. I got prophesied to last year that
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: my husband was gonna be here right about this time.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: So I'm like they said September this year. Oh so
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: we're gonna We're gonna bring in some bells. Okay, man,
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: it's saying, I'm trying to see way you there, just
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: go ahead and just be prepared. Okay, here's my life.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: Keep me on myself. Oh I'm oping. So I'm curious
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: to know we've talked, We've talked about girl. It's just
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: been funny. You have to come back. I'm way down
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: because girl, I'm looking at my time like that we
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: already we hold you know, she's getting onto the.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: So I'm curious.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: I'm curious to know, Desiray and I talked about not
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: too long ago of getting getting over it right, the
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Lord telling us to get over it, whatever your it
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: looks like.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: I'm curious to know it's coming up right now.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: To ask you, in the span of ten years, right,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: what have you had to get over?
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: What has been your it? And what was your hesitancy
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: and what was the resolve in it? Let's see, I
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: think that I've had to get over the fact that
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be hard. Oh, I've had to get over it.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, at the end of the day, nothing about
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: the journey. You know, you're gonna have easy moments, Yeah,
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: but you have to accept the fact that when you
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: get to one level, God is gonna call you to
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: another level. You get to that level, God is gonna
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: call you to that level. So I had to first
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: get comfortable being uncomfortable, right, and knowing that once I
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: get comfortable here, God probably gonna had the next thing
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: you do. Now you gotta do this, and now you
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: gotta do this, and this is gonna be hard. And
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: when I say hard, I mean like it's never even
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: in the heart there's grace, right, So it's still kind
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: of easy because you got grace. But it's going to
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: require effort. It's going to require some sometimes where you
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: don't want to do it, where you want to give up,
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: where you are exhausted. It's going to be hard, you
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: know what I mean. And it's a part of the journey.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: So I think that once I accepted that, like, you
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: know what, you're the one that has to do it,
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: and nobody's going to do it for you. So at
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: the end of the day, like, as hard as it is,
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: you are called to do it and you gotta do it.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: You can't. You gotta just go forward. Listen. That is that.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting the answer. I wasn't expecting answer. But
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: it's such a relatable thing. But when you know you're called,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: that's the thing.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: When you know you're called, you have to accept the
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: calling because it's not gonna run from I mean, it's
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: it's you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna face it, or
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: you're gonna live your life in regret. Yeah, I was.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: I was looking on I think it was Instagram.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Uh, I can't remember who sent this to me, but
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: it was a young lady and she said she was
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: talking to her husband and her husband said to her,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: she was like, Hey, I've just been feeling like it's
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: time for me to move for my job or whatever
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: just keeps coming up, keeps coming up. I think I
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: just really read to leave my job. And he said,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: is the Lord telling you this? And she was like,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but it just keeps coming up or whatever.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: He said, Okay, well you need to pray about it
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: and if you if you pray about it, and you
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: don't you move without God. Just be prepared for your will. Yeah,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: and she was like my will and he was like yeah.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Because remember Jonah got swallowed up because he disobeyed God.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: He had the gift, he had the assignment, he had
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: the anointing, but he was swallowed up because he went
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: through opposite direction. He was like, don't you're ready? He said,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: you prepare you preparing for the other you. The will
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: was unnecessary. The will was just to get you. You
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: had to do it, to go over there to them people.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: That's how you had to do but people, but it
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: was hard about to say because the rejection that was
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: it was hard to assignment. Most of us don't like
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: to experience rejection and uncomfortability. Again, uncomfortable, I don't want
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: to go talk to these people.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: They don't want to hear what I got to say.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: I don't want to go over there. I don't want
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: to have to That's that uncomfortability, right. So it's that
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have to once the Lord tells you this,
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: you're gonna just have to be okay with the fact
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: that you have to do it, or you're gonna be
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: forced to do it and that forcing is not with you.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: It's not pretty. So I'm curious what is the Lord
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: telling Megan a dude in this season.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Well, several things we see how flip there.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: Several days. I think one thing is, like I say,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: the growing with the uncomfortability, right, and I think that's
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: the proble, the biggest thing. But also learning that it's
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: okay for me to rest, like learning that it's okay
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: for me to be graced through because I've been grinding,
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: you know, Megan for so long, right, it's like all
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: I know is so like you know what I'm saying,
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: that's been like when I started real estate, I would
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: call it three hundred four hit people a day, Like
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: that's how long, and that's how hard I've worked, you know,
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: to get to this point. And I think that this
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: season God is showing me like this is a different season.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: Though this is not required, so much of your physical
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: effort may not be required. Your intellectual effort is what
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: I need from you now. And in order for you
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: to have that, I need you rested, because you can't
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: hear from me when you're running around and doing this this, this, this, this,
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: So it's a trust thing. It is a trust that
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: I will provide if you step away from this trust
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: that I'll provide, trust that I'll walk you through it. Right,
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: But I need you rest it so I can talk
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: to you, so you can talk to people.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, girl, now that's good rest. I would say it's
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: hard for me, too cool, it's hard.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: It's hall for me.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: My sister Stacy, she she gets onto me so much.
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: She was like, jes, you don't know how to risk.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: You don't how to be still, you don't get out
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: the phone, you don't get But in my mind, I'm like,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: I'm still giving an employer my time and I'm trying
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: to make it away from me right here. So I
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: don't know what time I have to rest right now,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: Like you have to create it, like you gotta create
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: who is challenging. And I'm gonna say that even if
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: it is one day, like you need to give yourself
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: one day for me my Sundays.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: I don't play by my Sundays period. I really prefer
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: not to even leave the house on Sunday, you know
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying, unless I'm going to church, Like you know,
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: I don't. I want to be in this mood and
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: shout out to me on the porch with my Bible,
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: my worship music, my journal. You know, I need that
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: time to replenish me. And the thing is is like when,
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: especially for you, because you are in this space, and
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: because your voice is so valuable, you gotta think your
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: voice is your gift. So with your voice being your gift,
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: how can you use it? If you're exhausted, He can't
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: download those things into you that he fully needs to
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: download into you. If you're not rated, you might have
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: a dream while you're sleeping, you might you know what
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. But it is when your mind is at
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: ease that the Lord is able to speak to you
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: the most. And that is how you're going to be
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: able to take what it is that he's given you
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: to pour back into the kingdom to the people. So
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: it's necessary, even if it's one day, even if it's
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: half a day, choose that day and protect it at
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: all costs, because it's not only for you. It's for
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: everybody else that's depending on you. It's for all of
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: these listeners, it's for all of the people that come
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: behind you. It's for everybody. It's not just for you.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: It's for you. But if you're rested. Your voice is
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: going to bless the masses even more than what it
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: already is.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: I received that. I received that I can be rebuked
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: on my own show. That's what that was.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: That was a strong There was a gentle but such
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: a sweet you're doing it for everybody, get me to get.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: Jesus. It was. It was cute, that's all right, Megan.
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: Megan came a little this is good.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: When she said that she had to accept the journey
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: is gonna be hard, right. I think I think we
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: think because it's like, oh, I'm serving the Lord, I'm
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: a Christian, I'm a believer that it's going to be
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: like all the time, right, And at.
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: How it worked. She even says, in this life you
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: will experience many many trial and tribulation many. This is
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: a promise. It's a suffering. You signed up.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: You signed up for suffering, suffering. You can stuff over here,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: or you can stuff over here. You can suffer with
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: grace and mercy, or you can suffer without it. I'm
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: just saying I'm just gonna have to suffer.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: So, I think when we come into acceptance that you
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: know what it's something on my life.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: The Lord that gave me something. It's just different.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: It's just you know, wherever it is, it is different,
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: and it's gonna come with its own struggles. You know
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's gonna come with its own struggles. Yeah,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: little sale can go over here and get straight there.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: But some some whatever reason, the Lord got you going
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: like this. It's always like this.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: And the reason I think it is because if it
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: just was like this, I think there's a quote that says, like,
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: how do you appreciate the sunshine without the brain? Right?
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: So it's like, if you don't experience this, that valley
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: is you're molded in the valley. That valley is dark,
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: but you are molded in the valley. You are equipped
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: in the valley. You're armored up in the valley so
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: that when you do get here you can withstand that
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: you have the tools to be able to fight these demons.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: At this level, you cannot fight them if you don't
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: go through that, you don't know because this requires dependence.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: The valley there requires trust. When you in the valley,
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: you don't have no choice. But the trust God is
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: now you're looking right, You're like, I don't see no
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: light anything, but you have the trust God's boys to
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: lead you out of that valley. So now when you're out,
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: you're equipped. Now I have the tools to be able
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: to with saying here, But if you don't go through that,
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: you're not ready.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: So the reason why the valleys are important and the
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: reason why, if we're honest, some of the paths that
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: we've we've had the journey through.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: Some of it has kind of been on our own cognizance.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: Catch that thing, and we're supposed to catch back. So
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: he let me let me again. Yeah, oh, let me
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: let you do it again. Let me do it again
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: until you be like, oh, I supposed to be learning lessons.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, then that's why we have to continue to
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: see him.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so good, Like leave me lord, because I
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: know I don't know where I'm going. It's so good.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: But this has been a really a really good inspiring
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: conversation because you know, like people see, people.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: See you out.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: You're cute, you know what I'm saying, But like you
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: heard in the streets, but people.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: Just don't sometimes understand, like he's the journey. But that
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: journey I will tell. And that's one thing about it.
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: I think is like I say that all the time,
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: like you will never see me. First of all, my
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: heart will always be humble. I don't even I think
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: I'm learning who I am. But I don't know if
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: I even you know what I mean, because I can
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: only see myself as me. I'm in my body, right,
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: I know my life experiences from my lens. I don't
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: see I don't see myself the way everybody else sees me. Right,
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: I'm just out here, walking and living and doing what
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: I do. But I think that one thing you'll never
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: catch me do is talk about the mountaintop without talking
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: about that valley, because that valley, that valley made me,
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: That valley got me here, And I have to be
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: able to say the full story so that somebody just
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: doesn't look at me in this space now and think,
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: oh she, oh she did is God did it? It's like, yeah,
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: but God took me through it.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: He not around it, over it, not taking it from you.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: You gotta you know, I walk through the valley of
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: the shadow of depth, I will feel no evil. It's
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: don't say ya though I may walk, It says yay
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: though I walk.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: Yep, I've walked, And so for me. It's like, it's
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: so easy for me to talk about the valley more
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: than it is for me to talk about the blessings,
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: because I would never want somebody to look at where
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: I am right now and I not be able to
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: express to them how God brought me out, because this
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: is this is the only way I've been able to
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: do this, You know what I'm saying. And I think
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: that it creates an unrealistic idea of what faith looks
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: like when people consist come talk about the blessings, but
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: they don't talk about the burdens.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that burden heavy. Let me tell you something. Let
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: me let me tell you something. You talk about the burden, right,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Let me tell so the Lord as me. I'm currently
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: reading Ezekiel.
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: Girl. Hold up, now, wait a minute. I just got us.
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: I was in Ezekiel two days ago, thirty seven.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: To be listen, he got me. He got me reading
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: the entire book right now. I've never read the entire book.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: And all right, I read seven and seven this morning
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: because seven was pretty long. But three is what got
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: me in the choke hold. Chapter three is what got
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: me in the choke hold. Oh, when God takes Ezekiel
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: is that when this is when he told Ezekiel. If
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: you tell them basically what I'm telling you to say,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: then you're gonna be free from it. But if you
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: don't tell them the blood your hand. Yes, yeah, so
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: I'm stilling there convicted. You hear me reading reading all
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: the convention because it's hey, you can choose not to
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: do this, but the blood they ship, it's gonna be.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: It's on them, their wickedness, they're wicked blood, it's gonna
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: be on you.
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: So peep this, he says.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Jessica, you're you don't get the mantle without the burden,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: and what you've been trying to avoid is the burden.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: But it comes together.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: And I think that when we when we settle in
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: knowing that, it simultaneously happens.
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: Like people see.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Your mental people see your covering, and people see the
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: glory of God on you, but they don't understand the burden.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: So because they see it, they need another sense. That
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: means they need to hear you.
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we got five sets we need they see that.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: But if you hear my testimony.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: That's why we talk about transparency leads to transformation, because
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: it's only by the testimony it says we overcome by
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: the blood of the limb and the word of the testimony.
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: And what you're saying is, I don't do this without
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: my testimony. I don't walk this thing out without the
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: body you context clues of how I even got here,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: because what you see is.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: The glory and the covering of God.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: You don't see me, because if you see me, you'll
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: see somebody broken, abandoned and confused. But because you see
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: God in me, you see somebody that's own one. And
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: this is why what a blessing to not look like
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: what you've been through, Jesus, because without the testimony, you
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: wouldn't even know. Listen, I've been through some hard, hard times,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: even from my childhood on up. I know what it's
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: like to not have water, not to have lights, not
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: to have power, and not have to have to go
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: next door to get water in it from a from
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: a hose, to put in a ten bucket to take
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: into the house to wash off in October in a
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: house with no heat as a kid.
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: So if if, if we, if we're having this conversation today,
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: nobody's gonna look at me and be like, oh yeah,
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: I could see that, Jazus to be able to say, yup,
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: I went through that. I noticed like to have mice
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: scratching in my bed every night. Every night. I might
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: as well named the petnic.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Not what you call them, Tom and Jerry.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: That's what I came from. So he got has been amazing.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. That was the beginning, So
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: imagine right, It's like, and that's.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Another reason why you're your expectancy of your partner. Yes,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: because there's no reason why you shouldn't have to go
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: back to that exactly, and especially if I'm willing to
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: work hard, why can't you. That's the way I see it.
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: It's I feel like, first of all, if he's the
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: man of God, then he knows that there is abundance
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: in the kingdom. That's number one. First of all, God
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: don't want me broke. That's the start them I can
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: only do. Even the Bible say money answer of all things.
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: Let's be clear, it says the love of money is
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: the root of all evil. But it says that money
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: answer of all things. So at the end of the day,
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: for me to make the impact that I'm supposed to
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: make in the kingdom, I can't do it. Broke and
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: I can't have my purpose partner. That's broke, because how
