Speaker 1: Edwin says, I needed this so bad. Thank you for
0:15
you're welcome. What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?
0:25
Y'all already know who it is. It's your favorite girl
0:27
friend A five four bringing you another episode of Black
0:32
Girl Interrupted. Y'all already know what day it is. It
0:35
is Monday. It's mental Monday. So y'all know what we
0:39
do over here on Black Girl In. Throughout the podcast,
0:42
y'all know, I have to check in with y'all and
0:44
do my weekly check ins because I'm gonna stress this
0:47
like I do every episode. It's imperative that I check
0:50
in with y'all weekly. I need to make sure you're good.
0:53
Even if I'm not in a good space, I'm still
0:56
gonna show up for y'all, you know. But Happy Monday
1:00
Day today. It's been a trying day, but I just
1:07
thank y'all for just keeping me positive today. Thank y'all
1:11
for keeping me in a safe space. I greatly, greatly,
1:14
greatly appreciate that. But for those that are new two
1:17
Black Girl In throughout the podcast, before I get started
1:20
with any episode, I always try to show something that's encouraging, inspiring, inspirational,
1:28
because again, you never know what a person is going through.
1:30
So before we get into our weekly check in, here
1:33
we go.
1:37
Speaker 2: There are gonna be days where you do not feel
1:39
like doing anything. Those days are going to be there
1:44
no matter what path you take.
1:48
Speaker 1: We have two voices in our minds.
1:50
Speaker 3: That one voice, it's that saw they saw, the voice
1:55
that says sleep, it's okay, you.
1:59
Speaker 1: Can take the day off, saying you don't need to
2:02
go hard. It's that coddling voice. You want to be
2:05
hugged and nurtured and all that shit.
2:07
Speaker 4: That voice, that nagging voice of weakness, the one that
2:11
tells you to back off, to simmer down, to take
2:15
it easy.
2:16
Speaker 3: When you hear that voice, tell it no, tell it
2:19
to sit down and be quiet.
2:23
Speaker 4: Suppress that voice.
2:24
Speaker 2: You got another voice in your head that's asking you
2:26
a question.
2:27
Speaker 5: It's asking you what could you be?
2:30
Speaker 3: What could you be?
2:31
Speaker 2: What could you be if you've worked as hard as
2:34
you could?
2:34
Speaker 3: What could you be if you imposed real discipline in
2:38
your life?
2:39
Speaker 1: What could you be? Because that pain that you are
2:42
feeling is the test.
2:45
Speaker 2: This is a test. This is the day I'm gonna
2:47
find out if my goals really are my goals?
2:51
Speaker 6: Michael Jordan.
2:52
Speaker 4: They call it the flu game, it's still scoring more
2:54
than the average dude with the flu. Even when you
2:57
got the flu and you play an other champions, you
3:00
still score more than they score because you've learned how
3:03
to dominate, and you need that same mentality.
3:06
Speaker 2: I'm talking about looking yourself in the mirror, looking at
3:09
yourself in the eye and saying, I'm gonna dominate today
3:13
better than any other day. Learn how to get excited
3:16
when that feeling creeps in of I don't want to
3:19
do it, and when those test days become something that
3:21
you live for, something you look forward to. Now you're
3:24
talking about a whole different level of mindset. You're talking
3:28
about an unstoppable force of nature that cannot be with.
3:33
Speaker 3: Mental toughness is the ability to resist, to manage, overcome doubt,
3:38
overcome worries, overcome concerns, overcome circumstances that prefit most people
3:44
from succeeding or performing under pressure. Every human being that
3:49
is not successful versus every human being that's successful, the
3:53
only difference between them is mental toughness.
3:56
Speaker 4: One group when.
3:57
Speaker 3: They come up against trials and tri relations, they shriek.
4:00
One group of people when they come up against a recession,
4:05
they shrink. Weak minded people, they buckle, they complain, they
4:09
look for every excuse. But mentally tough people, we saw
4:13
the storm and we pull on our surfboard and we're
4:17
beginning to search on the ways that try most people.
4:22
Speaker 6: You have to understand that your greatest commodity not your shoes,
4:26
not your car, not your clothes, it's your mind. Your
4:29
mind is the most important thing you have, and you
4:32
gotta control it. I don't care what's happening, you have
4:35
to control it. When you leave, what you're fighting for,
4:38
what's your legacy?
4:39
Speaker 3: What you gonna do?
4:40
Speaker 5: You say you a chap? When do you practice like
4:42
a chap? You sell you a chap? Do you fight
4:45
like a chap?
4:45
Speaker 1: You sell you a chap?
4:47
Speaker 5: Do you have the mentality of a chap? Champions keep
4:51
going when they don't have anything left in their day,
4:54
when they don't have no more, when it's over, when
4:57
they're tired, when they're frustrated, when they're ready to give up,
5:00
when they spent their last dime. That's when they get started.
5:03
It's when you have nothing left.
5:05
Speaker 3: It's when you depleted all your money, when all your
5:08
energy gone, That's when it showtimes when.
5:10
Speaker 4: You find the way out of no way.
5:12
Speaker 5: When you find breath that you don't have, when you find.
5:15
Speaker 4: Energy that did not exist, when you want this.
5:17
Speaker 6: Thing as bad as you want to breathe, that's when
5:21
you find a way.
5:45
Speaker 1: Man. Man, man, let me see this baby. That video
5:49
showed up right up on time for me today. It
5:52
showed up right on time. But again, y'all, welcome back
5:57
to another episode of Black Girl. Interrupt the podcast. Y'all
5:59
already know what this is. Your girl Ash doing our
6:02
mental health check ins, our mental Mondays every Monday. Like
6:05
I said, it's imperative that I check in with y'all
6:08
every week because I need to make sure y'all good.
6:11
Even though I'm not in the best space today doesn't
6:15
mean that I can't show up for y'all today. So
6:19
let me let me just hurt off first. Start off
6:21
by saying, thank y'all. Thank you to everybody that reached
6:24
out to me today. Everyone that to me a message today,
6:29
Thank y'all. I don't think y'all understand how bad I
6:32
needed that. What I tell you, Hey sus a fool,
6:38
that's my baby, Hey sus let me say this to y'all.
6:43
I don't really think y'all understand how bad I needed y'all.
6:48
Today Today was rough, but I made it having to,
6:55
you know, being torn in between trying to let God
7:00
handle it and me handling baby. That's a battle. I'm
7:03
struggling because I want the right now. But I reached
7:10
out to one of my my really really really close friends.
7:12
I call out my sister and I told her, I
7:14
said I need a verse, and she said hold on
7:19
one second, and the moment I said it, like, maybe
7:21
not even a minute or two later, she sent me
7:22
a verse. So I just want to say thank you
7:25
for that, because I needed that today. Today was rough.
7:30
It was a struggle for me, and of course y'all
7:34
already know about my mental health issues. But I'm gonna
7:40
keep saying to myself that my purpose is bigger than
7:42
my pain. I'm gonna keep saying that I'm letting God
7:46
have his weight. I'm letting God do what he needs
7:48
to do. Yes, I have on blue today because I
7:51
felt blue. I really did. I'm not gonna even lie
7:54
to y'all. I'm not gonna set up paying cap and say,
7:56
oh I don't feel it because I do. I work
8:02
at a job that I absolutely hate. I work at
8:06
a job that I've just if it's really makes me
8:09
sick and it gets rough. You know, you apply to
8:14
different jobs and you do these interviews only to get
8:17
a denial after denial after denial after denial, and eventually
8:22
it starts to take a toll on your mental So
8:24
what I needed to do today I had to step back.
8:27
I had to take some time for myself on my
8:30
breaks and on my lunch, and I had to immediately
8:33
go into my praise and worship because I had to
8:34
talk to God. Because what I felt like, what I
8:37
was going through today was God's way of saying, come on,
8:40
let's have a conversation right now. So I say that
8:44
to y'all, stay encouraged. Anyone that is struggling mentally. I
8:49
love you, and we are going to get through this.
8:54
We're gonna make it. I know right now it does
8:59
seem rough. I know right now it's like where do
9:02
I go from here? I feel like, you know, we're
9:05
backed into a wall and we don't have anywhere to go.
9:08
But I really, honestly feel like God has tested me
9:12
the hardest that he has ever tested me, and he's
9:15
trying to see well I sink or while I swim.
9:18
So that's why I reached out to him for my
9:20
life jacket because I was like, oh, you know what,
9:21
I feel like I'm drowning today. I reached out to
9:24
my therapist first thing this morning, and I just cried
9:27
and cried and cried and cried and cried until she said, Ashley,
9:31
you have to remember who you are. That job does
9:35
not define who you are. That job is not your
9:40
final destination. That's just a stop, that's just your place
9:46
of rest. But know that your ride, so the next
9:49
destination is on the way. And when I tell y'all,
9:53
that hit me like a ton of bricks today. I
9:55
needed that. I needed to hear that. I needed to
9:57
hear people say you know how to actually do got this?
10:01
Yeah we keep telling ourselves, yeah we gotta, we gotta,
10:04
we gotta, we got it. But when you have other
10:06
people on the sidelines that are cheering for you, that
10:08
are rooting for you, that really want to see you win,
10:12
it really changes your mental lif It really makes you
10:15
look at things very differently. So this is another reason
10:20
why I do these mental health check ins. Like I
10:23
told y'all, black Girl interrupted, it's not just a space
10:25
for me but it's a space for all of us.
10:27
It's a space where we're able to come in and
10:29
we're able to unpack, You're able to post whatever it
10:32
is that you're going through, and we get through this together.
10:37
You know, one of the things that I have come
10:39
to the realization is I'm not putting my boundaries up
10:42
high enough. So going forward today, going forward, if all
10:48
you do is in and complaint all day and you're
10:50
not trying to fix your issues, I don't want to
10:52
talk to you anymore because you're really truly draining my energy.
10:55
You really truly are. I have enough going on in
10:58
my own personal life and trying to keep my mental
11:01
in check. I can't take on your problems too. I
11:04
say that with the most respect and the most love,
11:07
but I need you to respect me as well, because
11:11
I've always been a dumping ground for people and I
11:16
can't take that anymore. I cannot deal with your issues.
11:20
If all you do is sitting you complain and you're
11:22
not trying to fix whatever it is that you're going through,
11:24
or you're not seeking out the proper channels, I can't
11:27
help you anymore, period, because I have to keep peace
11:32
in my household. You understand Number two, if you have
11:39
seen me at my lowest and now you want to
11:42
come back when I'm climbing my way back out of
11:45
the dark, I would just recommend that you just stay
11:47
away from me because I don't need fair weather people.
11:51
You understand, I need consistent people. If you are not
11:54
gonna consistently be in my circle, then I need you
11:57
to go ahead and next to stage left, your phone
11:59
numbers have been deleted. You are going to be removed
12:02
from my social media platforms because I'm not dealing with
12:04
you anymore. I'm going again. My boundaries are going to
12:07
be higher now. I'm not tolerating it. I'm not dealing
12:11
with it. It is what it is. You take this
12:14
for what it is. It doesn't matter. So if you
12:17
send me a text, or you send me a message
12:19
and you see you can't reach me, or I hit
12:21
you with who is this? Just know you're one of
12:24
the ones that have been deleted. And I say that
12:27
with a pure and open, genuine heart. I say that
12:30
out of love and peace. But my piece now I
12:37
have to stand on that. You know, I appreciate the
12:41
support from the outside and people that are resharing my post,
12:45
and you know, I appreciate all of that, but I
12:49
need genuine people in my circle. And if you cannot
12:52
be genuine, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and
12:53
go period, point blank. I'm not dealing with it. Okay. Again,
12:57
my mental means more to me than anything else in
13:00
this world. So you take that for what it is.
13:03
So again, if you if it's at a point where
13:06
you can't reach me, just know you're one of the
13:08
ones that I got rid of, you know. And this
13:10
is not me making a decision. This was something I
13:12
sat down and I had a real, pure, genuine conversation
13:15
with God, and God told me some of those people,
13:18
actually you have to let go of because some of
13:21
those people are only bound to you because of your energy,
13:25
because of the energy and the positivity that you're bringing
13:27
to people. And now it's starting to wear you think,
13:30
and it really truly is. If the only time you're
13:33
reaching out to me is when you're going through something,
13:37
that door is closed. Again. My boundaries are higher, my
13:43
piece over everything. It is what it is. So I
13:47
just want to go ahead and put that out there.
13:49
So I don't want people to be hey, Sasa, oh
13:54
thank you, thank you, thank you. Oh girl, I just
13:56
I wish I could hug you too. You just don't
13:58
even understand I want to hug you in the worst way.
14:03
But you know, as I was saying, some of y'all,
14:08
I have to turn loose some of y'all. I've got
14:10
to let y'all go. Some of y'all I have already
14:13
let go. You'll know that because we have no communication,
14:17
we may not have communicated in months, but that just
14:20
goes to show you that you know where you stand
14:23
with me. I also want to say again thank y'all
14:29
to everyone that reached out to me today, everyone that
14:31
sent me a message today, anyone that sent a text
14:34
to my phone. I appreciate y'all, but even just stopping
14:39
and taking thirty seconds out of your day to let
14:41
me know that you're thinking about me. One of the
14:45
reasons why I come and I post what I do
14:47
is again, I'm gonna be very transparent and open with
14:50
my feelings and my emotions because I want people to know. Yes,
14:54
I may do a podcast, but I heard on I hurt.
14:58
Once these cameras go off, once this microphone goes off,
15:00
I hurt. I still struggle with my mental but by
15:05
the grace of God, it gets easier for me every day.
15:08
Do I slip and fall some days? Absolutely? But I
15:12
say all of that to say because I want you
15:14
guys to start giving yourself the great. Yes, we want
15:19
the pain to go away right now. We want whatever
15:21
situation we're into end today. But I really feel like
15:25
God is really truly testing all of us. God is
15:30
telling us you gotta take your hands out of it.
15:33
You've been doing it this way for so long, and
15:35
you'll see it's not working. Why don't you just take
15:37
a step back and let me guide you. So that's
15:41
what I'm making up in my mind today. I'm allowing
15:43
on God to God whatever's meant for me. Once I
15:48
leave this job, it's God's well. I'm leaving it to him.
15:52
I'm leaving it to him. Like I told y'all a
15:55
couple last weekend last week, this is what I want
15:59
to do permanently. I want to do my podcast permanently
16:03
because I really truly enjoy getting on this platform and
16:08
encouraging somebody. I love the fact that my words or
16:12
my messages are resonating with people. I love that I'm
16:16
the happiest. Let me tell y'all, I'm the happiest. When
16:20
I'm in this space, I'm the happiest. I'm at peace,
16:25
I'm relaxed. Even on those days that are rough for me,
16:30
I get in here and I'm able to talk to y'all.
16:32
It's no judgment. It's nothing but love. And that's what
16:37
I want in my life because I haven't been given that,
16:42
and I think that's part of why I hold on
16:46
to people. I think that's the biggest reason why I've
16:50
held on to people longer than what I should have.
16:53
You know again, I've always been the one that everybody
16:57
runs to when they're going through things. Oh girl, ash
16:59
let me. And I've always been that person because I
17:02
wanted that for me. But now I'm seeing that people
17:06
are taking advantage of that. So now I gotta raise
17:10
I gotta raise the boundaries higher again. I want everyone
17:15
to protect their peace. Stop holding onto people that are
17:19
depleting you. And I'm not talking about draining I'm talking
17:23
about depleting you, baby, I'm talking about running your dry.
17:26
I'm talking about to the point where you don't even
17:28
have fumes to keep running. Let those people go. God
17:35
is preparing the most beautiful circle for me, and I'm
17:40
so appreciative of it. God has connected me with so
17:46
many beautiful people in different places that I hadn't even
17:50
imagined to be connected with. Or Lee says, speak your truth.
17:56
I have to you know, when I say I have
17:59
to speak my peace, I have to live in that.
18:02
I have to own that because I'm tired of being dreamed.
18:06
I'm tired of being exhausted. I'm tired of folding onto
18:09
people that wouldn't even cross rivers for me. You want
18:13
to I'm not even a river but a puddle for me.
18:15
I'm tired of standing in the rain with people that
18:17
won't even stand with me when it's drizzling. So yes,
18:20
my boundaries have to be higher, and I say this
18:23
to y'all, raise those boundaries. Cut those people off, even
18:27
if that means family. I know it's gonna hurt. I
18:33
know you're gonna grieve because we invest so much in
18:37
these friendships and these relationships, but then we forget about
18:42
us and we lose us along the way. So I
18:45
got to reclaim my time. Man, I gotta get Ashley back.
18:49
I've got to keep Ashley on track because if I'm
18:53
not in a good space, I can't give y'all good
18:55
quality content and I don't. And my thing is I
19:00
built a space for us, so I feel like if
19:03
I don't show up, I'm letting y'all down, you know.
19:06
And that's just me, y'all, that's the love in me. All.
19:11
My brother Jamara says, love and peace. Love and peace
19:14
to you, brother, Loving peace to you. Good to see you.
19:17
My brother ld says, claim it and it shall be
19:20
absolutely because I'm being specific and exactly what it is
19:23
that i want. I'm very specific what I want. I
19:27
want this to be full time for me. And again,
19:31
I don't care about the money and all of that.
19:34
I do this with a pure and genuine heart. And
19:36
I tell y'all this every week. I'm the most humble
19:40
person now than I've ever been in my entire life.
19:44
I'm so humble. I'm so grateful for the connections and
19:47
the interactions that I've made with people. I'm grateful for that.
19:51
I'm grateful for the continuous love and the support that
19:54
I get from you guys each and every week when
19:56
I get on this platform. I appreciate that. And again,
20:00
I do this because I want to see y'all win.
20:04
I want to see y'all in beautiful, healthy spaces. I
20:08
don't want to see y'all sad anymore. I don't want
20:11
to see you drowning it and depleted and ready to
20:14
give up and throw on a towel. I don't want
20:15
to see y'all like that anymore. So yet that's why
20:21
I do what I do. This is why I keep
20:23
Black Girl Interrupted on the forefront. This is my baby like,
20:27
this is what I gave birth to. This is what
20:32
I'm nurturing, this is what I'm nourishing. This is what
20:34
I'm gonna keep pouring into to make it bigger, not
20:38
just for me, but for us, for our space to
20:40
get bigger, and the bigger it gets, the safer it gets.
20:43
Because we have a commderie of love around here, and
20:47
that's all I want. I don't want anything else. I
20:51
just want the love and the support and genuine genuinity.
20:56
That's what I want, and I want the rest of
20:58
prise to me because if I love on you, I
21:01
expect that in return. We're no longer doing these one
21:05
sided relationships. We're no longer doing these one side of friendships.
21:08
We're no longer being available to people that only call
21:11
you when they going through something and then the moment
21:13
they get back out of their dark space, then you
21:15
don't hear from them no more. I'm not taking those
21:18
phone calls no more. I'm not taking those tech I'm
21:20
not accepting those text messages anymore, those dms, no, none
21:23
of that we are. Let me let me correct that.
21:27
We are not taking that anymore. We're not dealing with
21:29
that anymore. So whoever's feelings are hurt because of what
21:34
I just said, God bless you, and I wish you well,
21:38
put some parade side some nia, spurning a band aid
21:41
on it and just keep going. But we're protecting us now,
21:47
We're protecting our peace. We're doing what we have to
21:50
do for us. We have to stop looking out for
21:53
people that don't look out for us. Stop loving on
21:57
people that only love you with limits, Stop loving on
22:00
people that have conditions on their love. They only love
22:03
you when this. They only show up for you when
22:06
you're doing this for them or when you're doing that
22:08
for them. No, baby, it don't work that way. My
22:11
ATM is now closed period. We're not dealing with it.
22:17
So Happy Monday, Happy mental Month. Today is Monday, Like
22:20
I say, it's mental Mondays with Black Girl enter of
22:22
the podcast. Excuse me for those that are new to
22:26
the platform, I see new people coming in. Thank y'all
22:28
so much. But again, I do this each and every
22:31
week simply because it's imperative that we keep mental health
22:35
on the forefront. I mean, the funding to mental health
22:39
has been is being cut or has been cut. Suicide
22:44
again is the third leading cause of death amongst Black men,
22:47
and it's rising. We are seeing more and more suicide
22:51
amongst women between the ages of thirty seven and I
22:54
believe fifty five. I could be off a couple of years,
22:58
but that's starting to increase now simply because we don't
23:02
have spaces like this where we can get in here
23:03
and we can have conversations and talk healthy, healthy conversations. Well,
23:10
we are being free and I want to see more
23:14
of that. I encourage more people to do this, start
23:18
opening up spaces and have healthy conversations, mental conversations, because
23:24
you don't know what a person is going through, You
23:25
don't know what a person is suffering from. You know,
23:29
I was having a conversation with my daughter yesterday and
23:34
she goes back to school tomorrow. Yes, she is the
23:37
last of the Mohicans. Baby, we have a sophomore, y'all.
23:40
Tomorrow we officially have a sophomore. But I was having
23:44
a conversation with my daughter yesterday and my baby asked
23:48
me the most beautiful thing. She said, Mommy, She said,
23:50
how are you feeling mentally what? My baby is only fifteen,
23:59
and man, when I tell y'all, just to hear my
24:01
baby ask me, how am I feeling? Just for my
24:05
baby to tell me she enjoys the time that we
24:08
spend together brought such a great joy to my heart
24:12
because it looks like I'm getting it right now. You
24:16
know I'm getting it right. I'm able to rectify some
24:21
of the most broken let me say this, I'm able
24:24
to rectify the cracked relationships that I have with my children,
24:31
my oldest daughter. Man, I want to say, thank y'all
24:40
for m Thank y'all for just loving me, Thank y'all
24:50
for supporting me, Thank y'all for not judging me. Last
24:54
week was a little rough for my daughter. My daughter
24:58
is starting her senior year at University of Houston Downtown.
25:03
She's majoring in criminal justice. So, y'all, we may have
25:07
a new attorney coming. But she was short. I want
25:12
to say, like eighteen hundred maybe something like that, and
25:17
I posted she started to gofund me and she didn't
25:20
even tell me, and so I made me feel a
25:23
little way. And so when I had a conversation with her,
25:29
she said she was embarrassed, and I told her, I said,
25:33
let me tell you something. I said, you never be
25:34
embarrassed to ask for help. I was willing to do
25:40
any and everything I had to do to ensure my
25:42
baby got that money to cover the cost of her
25:44
tuition for this semester so she can graduate.
25:49
Speaker 5: And so.
25:51
Speaker 1: I prayed, prayed, y'all, I cried all night long. I
25:56
woke up crying. I just kept asking God, just do
26:02
this for me, do this for me. I know you
26:04
hear me. God, You've done You've always showed up in
26:08
my time of need. I need you now the most.
26:13
So I got a message from her and she said
26:15
thank you because I sent money to her GoFundMe. And
26:20
I know she wasn't expecting it, but that's my baby,
26:24
and I'm gonna do whatever I have to do to
26:27
ensure that my kids have whatever it is that they need.
26:31
So I woke up, you know, and like I said,
26:33
I'm crying and I'm asking God, I said, God, if
26:36
you hear me, I know you hear me. Just help me,
26:39
help me do what I gotta do. And God made
26:43
it happen. My baby reached her goal. The school turned
26:47
around and they contributed almost one hundred percent. So my
26:55
baby will be going back to school to finish her
26:59
the greet. She'll be able to go ahead and finish
27:00
our degree uh and should be graduating in May of
27:03
next year. Thank God. Yes, yes, yes, yes yes, But
27:10
I just appreciate the people that that messaged me and
27:13
that encouraged me to not give up, that gave me
27:17
resources to give to my daughter h with regards of
27:20
getting money to go to school. So thank y'all for that.
27:25
Thank y'all, Thank y'all, thank y'all so much. I am
27:27
absolutely grateful for what you guys do for me and
27:31
what you guys continue to do for me. Hmm. I'm
27:41
just grateful. But we've talked enough about me. I want
27:46
to know how y'all are feeling today. Dropping a comments,
27:49
let me know how you're feeling. How are you feeling
27:51
mentally today? I know it is only Monday, uh.
27:57
Speaker 3: Uh.
27:59
Speaker 1: I'm overjoyed right now. I think just being able to
28:04
just sit down and have a conversation with God. Today.
28:07
It changed my whole mood. Oh, my brother Jamia says,
28:12
Sweetdale graduation on the way, man, and I'm so elated
28:15
about that. My daughter has been through so much. You know,
28:19
she lost the father last year, so it was a
28:22
struggle for her. She was debating whether or not to
28:26
still stay going to school or should she take, you know,
28:28
a couple of semesters off just to kind of get
28:31
a mental and check. And I told her, I said,
28:34
keep going, keep going. So my daughter is a daughter
28:38
a lot, and I'm so very proud of her. And
28:40
I told her that I love her and I've always
28:43
been proud of her. And that was something I think
28:46
in that moment she really truly needed to hear.
28:49
Speaker 6: Was to know that.
28:51
Speaker 1: I'm her biggest cheerleader, and regardless of what we me
28:55
and her go through, the ups, the downs, the highs,
28:57
the lows, I'm always have a bag regardless regardless if
29:03
she doesn't like me a lot of days or whatever
29:06
the situation may be, I still got her back. But
29:13
you guys, I want to know how are you feeling mentally?
29:18
What is today been life for you? What is transpired
29:21
between last week and this week that he might be
29:24
struggling with again. I want to see you win. I
29:31
don't want to see you give up. I want to
29:34
see you stay the course. But most importantly, I want
29:37
you to know that I love you with eat, with
29:40
every fiber of my being.
29:43
Speaker 5: I do.
29:45
Speaker 3: I do.
29:46
Speaker 1: That's why I check in on y'all because I know
29:49
a lot of y'all are struggling behind the scenes. I
29:51
know a lot of y'all struggle in silence. I know
29:58
a lot of y'all don't have the safe spaces to
30:02
come in and talk or you can't talk to people.
30:05
Because again I say this all the time, a listening
30:09
ear can sometime become a running mouth. Jamara says, I
30:14
feel choked up at times when I think about the
30:16
people who's not for me. The separation is the healthy way,
30:20
absolutely because anyone that is meant that, anyone that truly
30:24
genuinely loves you, will continue to show you and they'll
30:28
do it without limits. They'll do it without the conditions.
30:30
They'll do it genuinely. They will support you, they will
30:34
encourage you, they will pour into you. And I posted
30:38
this the other day or maybe a couple of weeks ago.
30:42
Be mindful of what vessels you drink from because they
30:45
may be poisoned. Because there are a lot of people
30:48
out here that really truly do not want to see
30:50
you win. There are people out here that really truly
30:52
are preying on your downfall. There are people out here
30:54
that truly hope you don't make it, and those are
30:58
the people that you don't need to be around. But
31:01
then you also have to learn to decipher who's cleaning
31:04
and who's dirty, because y'all do remember the devil was
31:07
once an angel. So just because they support you, and
31:11
what I mean when I say support you, what I mean, Oh,
31:14
they share your posts and all that. But are they
31:16
showing for up? Are they showing up for you outside
31:19
of social media? That's the question you need to ask
31:23
yourself because just because they're sharing your posts don't mean
31:28
they're really truly rooting for you. A lot of people
31:30
get on social media and they share your posts just
31:33
because just to say, old girl, I support you. But
31:37
do you support me outside of this? Do you pour
31:40
into me outside of this? Do you show up for
31:43
me outside of social media? And that's where we get
31:47
the lines blurred because a lot of us can't decipher
31:50
because we assume that, oh, they're sharing my posts, They're
31:54
doing this, they're doing that. Oh man, they love me.
31:58
But once this goes off and once you are alone,
32:01
are they there for you when you are by yourself?
32:07
H Let me say that one more time. Although they
32:14
show up for you on social media, do they show
32:19
up for you outside of this? Do they show up
32:22
for you when you are sitting in the dark, when
32:25
you are by yourself, when you feel like you are
32:28
at your wits end. If they can show up for
32:31
you and your lowest, do not open the door for
32:35
them when you are back at your high you understand,
32:37
because those are fair weather people. Yes, I'm saying that
32:45
some of y'all may not like what I just said,
32:48
but I told y'all them boundaries are up. My stakes
32:52
have gone higher, my love, because I'm here to tell you,
32:57
if you can't show up for me and my lowest,
33:01
don't come back now when I'm healed, Because let me
33:07
tell you, I don't have time for fair weather friends.
33:16
I could if I really truly wasn't trying to change
33:20
my heart, I would address y'all individually, wholeheartedly for the
33:26
ones that didn't even show up for me at my lowest.
33:32
But I sit back and I watch how God is
33:34
working on y'all, and y'all are miserable. But I pray
33:40
that peace comes into your heart. I pray that you
33:44
change who you are and stop conforming for who you
33:49
think you should be. Be true to yourself, Be real
33:53
to yourself, Be honest with yourself about who you want
33:58
to evolve into. Manifest the person you want to be.
34:04
Let me tell you, Oh theever my solter said, Hey, Susad,
34:07
that got my baby. Let me tell you something about
34:09
that lady right there. And I know she don't like
34:12
for me to put on the spot, but let me
34:13
tell you about this lady right here, at my lowest,
34:18
at my highest, at my in betweens, that lady right here,
34:24
this jewel Lacey. That woman has never let me fall
34:29
one thing I can see. Huh ld say. If they
34:35
showing up on social media, man, let me tell you
34:38
that's when they do it because they want to feel like,
34:42
oh I love you, Oh I'm sharing your posts. Okay,
34:47
but what are you doing for me outside of this?
34:51
What are you doing for me outside of this? Are
34:54
you defending my name in rooms that I haven't entered.
34:58
Are you speaking positive of a I name in those spaces? Yeah,
35:09
so you're mental. You have control over that. You dictate
35:16
how your life goes from this day forward. I told
35:21
y'all how mine is gonna go. My life now, peace
35:27
over everything. If the only time you call, I'm gonna
35:33
reiterate this one more time. If the only time you
35:36
call me is when you're going through something and I
35:39
don't hear from you any other time after that, you've
35:42
been deleted. If I've shown up for you when it's raining, pouring, thundering,
35:51
rail rain, heat, slit, all of that and you couldn't
35:57
be there for me, you've been deleted. My boundaries up.
36:02
My mental is everything to me, and I'm gonna protect
36:06
it at all costs, even if that removes means removing
36:10
people that I love the most, even if that if
36:17
that's what that means. Because I can't keep allowing y'all
36:25
to dump your issues on me and then you go
36:29
go when it's my turn. I can't do that with
36:34
y'all anymore. I'm sorry. That ends today. So again, if
36:41
you send me a text and I hit you with
36:43
the who is this? Just know you were the ones
36:45
one of the ones that was deleting period. I don't
36:50
care to know what's going on in your life. I
36:52
wish you the best. God bless you. Hope your kids
36:56
are doing well. Hope your family's doing well. Hope your mommy,
36:59
your daddy, I hope everyone's doing what I wish you well.
37:03
But where you cannot be is in my circle of
37:06
piece you can you can't be here. I am wanting
37:13
to build a circle of genuine, loving people where we
37:18
pour into each other, where we show up for each other, good, bad,
37:22
or indifferent. That's the type of circle I want to
37:25
be around. That's the type of circle. I'm sorry, that's
37:28
the type of circle I'm trying to build. Those are
37:30
the type of people I want to be around. I
37:32
want to sit next to people that applaud for me
37:35
even when I'm going through it, because I'm cheering for you.
37:42
If you see me falling down, I need somebody. I
37:45
want that person to tap me on my shoulder saying
37:47
I asked to get up, come on, now you're tripping.
37:51
That's the type of people I want to be around
37:55
because I'm not gonna keep showing up for you and
37:58
you're not shore enough for me again. I need y'all
38:06
to start protecting your peace at all times. I need
38:08
y'all to start protecting your mental at all times. I
38:11
need y'all to start unpacking things. I need y'all to
38:14
start removing things. I need y'all to start separating things.
38:19
But I want you to put guard in the midst
38:20
of that. That's what I want y'all to do, because
38:28
I love y'all. Man, I love y'all so much. I
38:31
don't think y'all understand how beautiful I think y'all are,
38:36
how amazing I think y'all are, even the ones that
38:41
you know have done me wrong. I love y'all. I
38:45
love you. I wish you the best, but your access
38:49
to me has not been denied. My husband told me
38:54
last night. He said, you know, he said, Babe, you
38:56
give so much the people, but who really gets back
38:59
to you? And I have to think about that.
39:05
Speaker 5: You know.
39:05
Speaker 1: I had to really sit and I had to say, damn,
39:09
who really does show up for me outside of all
39:14
of this? He told me, he said, you give so
39:18
much the people and you get so little in return.
39:24
That made me think, because if my husband is seeing this,
39:32
I got to make some arrangements. I got to rearrange
39:35
some things in my life. I put that out there
39:39
for y'all. Start rearranging things, Start moving people out of
39:44
your life, start moving in people out of your circle. Baby,
39:47
Start cutting that grass, Start plucking in weeds, because guess what,
39:51
Your roses can't flourish, and a basket full of weeds,
39:55
and a garden full of weeds, your flowers can't bloom.
39:58
People can't see you because they can only see the weeds.
40:04
So how can they see and enjoy the beauty of
40:06
you when all they see is the ugliness in front
40:09
of it. And I'm not talking about the physical. See
40:16
a lot of y'all equate the physical, you know, the
40:20
appearance with physical. Know what does your inside look like?
40:23
Because you could be beautiful on the outside but ugly
40:26
on the inside. And I can only speak for me,
40:30
you know, I think I'm a little cutey power on
40:32
the outside, but I was horrible on the inside. I
40:34
was ugly on the inside. So that's what I gave out.
40:39
I gave out ugliness until it starts to take a
40:44
toll on my mental Yeah, until God had to pull
40:51
me and isolate me and tell me this is why
40:56
this is happening to you because you're so ugly on
41:00
the inside. You haven't healed on the inside. You're giving
41:05
this cute stuff on the outside on the outside, but
41:10
you're pouring from a vessel of poison. I didn't even
41:15
understand what that meant until I sat down and I
41:19
had to reevaluate and shift some things in my life.
41:26
Got you, got you, got you. I hear you, l
41:34
D says, beautifully ugly man, And that's exactly what I was.
41:40
Now I'm in a space where I want to be beautiful,
41:46
not only on the outside, but on the inside. I
41:49
want to be able to pour. I no longer want
41:52
to pour poison on people. I no longer want to
41:54
burn people. I no longer want to get back at people.
41:57
I genuinely just want to love on you as long
42:00
as your love on my back. I generally want to
42:03
support you as long as you support me back. It's
42:06
the reciprocity for me, and a lot of people don't
42:10
aren't giving that. A lot of people want you to give, give, give, give, give,
42:13
and as long as you keep giving, you know what
42:15
they're gonna keep taking and taken untaken and take it
42:18
and tell guess what. Now you're empty. You don't have
42:20
anything left to give anybody. Baby, you don't even have
42:23
anything to give yourself, because you've allowed this person and
42:27
that person, and this person and that person to just
42:29
take from you. You've allowed them to drain your dry baby,
42:33
I'm talking about your soul. Dry baby. You look homeless,
42:40
and we have to stop letting that happen. We have
42:45
to stop letting that happen. See me, I love genuinely,
42:53
I support genuinely. It would be nice to get that
42:58
in return. It would be nice. It would be a
43:04
beautiful thing if the world went like that, if the
43:07
world moved like that, But unfortunately it doesn't. So now
43:12
we have to start picking and choosing who we're gonna
43:15
deal with. Who are we gonna support, Who are we
43:17
gonna love on, Who are we gonna pour into, Because again,
43:21
there are a lot of people in this world that
43:23
show up. As long as you're giving, they're gonna have
43:26
their hand out like this, give it here, give it here,
43:29
And as long as you keep feeding them, they're gonna
43:31
keep eating. And then now your plate is in, then
43:34
now you start it, and now you dream. Now your
43:38
mentalist is out a wag. Now you're sitting here by yourself.
43:43
You're alone, while the person that or the people that
43:46
you poured into they gone on. Theyre happy, they live
43:50
in life. They're not checking for you. And then when
43:56
you get back up, then they come back because now
44:00
they're empty again. I'm to the point now where you
44:05
just gonna have to stay empty, baby, push that car,
44:08
just like I had to the way I had to
44:12
sit and and do it what I had to do alone.
44:15
You're gonna have to go through that yourself. You're gonna
44:19
have to go through that yourself. You're gonna have to
44:21
deal with that alone. Because I'm no longer taking or
44:28
accepting again, like I say, one sided relationships, I'm no
44:32
longer accepting one sided friendships. I'm not dealing with that
44:35
no more. We're not doing that, y'all. We're protecting our peace.
44:40
We are gonna do whatever it takes to keep our
44:42
mental in check again. This is why I do what
44:46
I do here on Black Girl Interrupt the podcast. This
44:49
is why I do these mental mondays. I want these
44:51
weekly check ins. I want to know how y'all are doing.
44:57
I want to know how you're feeling today. So in
45:01
the comments, I want to know how are you feeling today?
45:05
What's going on? Has it has it been rough? You know,
45:09
there's the Q and A. Ask your questions in a
45:12
chat or post your questions, whatever it is. How are
45:17
you feeling today? Let me know how you're doing, because
45:21
I know some of y'all may not be in some
45:23
of the best spaces. And I could tell by some
45:26
of the things that I post and some of the
45:29
messages that I receive on the back end. I know,
45:34
I know it hurts. I know your tied. I know
45:39
you're ready to throw on a tie. I know you're
45:41
mentally exhausted. I know you're physically exhausted. I know this,
45:49
But what are we gonna do? Are we gonna keep
45:52
laying in it? Are we gonna keep wallowing in it?
45:56
Are we gonna keep complaining about it? Are we gonna
45:59
pull pull off big put our big girl panties on
46:01
or put our big boy boxes on? And are we
46:04
gonna tackle it? Are we gonna handle it? What are
46:09
we gonna do? That's what I want to know. What
46:12
are we gonna do? Because I have people out here
46:17
that are struggling. There are people out here that are
46:21
suffering in silence. There are people out here that can't
46:27
even express to somebody how they're feeling. So I want
46:33
to know how you do. How are you feeling today?
46:36
My baby? How you doing? And know that I love you?
46:43
I love you, sugar. I think you're the best. I
46:47
think you're the greatest. I think you're amazing. You're loved,
46:53
you're appreciated, you're wanted, you're needed, you have purpose. It's
47:00
over here, and I hope you see what I see.
47:04
I hope that your light shines as bright as it's
47:08
ever shown and shined in your life. I speak that
47:12
over you. I speak healing over you. I pray that
47:16
you heal from the things that you don't talk about.
47:19
I pray that you heal from the things that you suppressed,
47:23
or you pushed to the side, or you push to
47:25
the back. I pray for that. I pray that everything
47:33
that you've been asking God for you're giving ten times over.
47:40
I pray that tonight, when you lay down, that you're
47:43
able to rest peacefully. I pray that I speak that
47:50
over you. I speak your that your finances be blessed.
47:56
I pray at your household be blessed, that your children,
48:01
all the babies that are going back to that have
48:03
went back to school today, or the kids that went
48:04
back to school last week, or the children that go
48:06
back to school tomorrow. I pray for a beautiful school
48:10
year for these children. I pray for the fathers that
48:15
don't get to see their babies because the mom is bitter.
48:21
I pray that God changes that for you. I pray
48:23
that God turns your circumstances and your situation around. I
48:29
speak that I breathe that into you. I give that
48:33
light you understand. But I also pray that you let
48:39
go of the things that no longer serve their purpose
48:42
to you. I pray that you let go of those
48:48
relationships that no longer serve their purpose, and that includes family.
48:56
I pray that, wherever you are in life, that God
48:59
will move and shift you where He wants you to be.
49:02
I speak that over you.
49:05
Speaker 6: I do.
49:09
Speaker 1: Hm. I speak light into your dark situation. I speak
49:18
peace and prosperity over you. That's what I do. I
49:28
breathe life into you. I pray that your atmosphere begins
49:33
to shift in a good way. Again, those unspoken prayers,
49:40
I pray God hears. I prayed that those cries that
49:43
you pried late at night. Stop they cease because God says,
49:52
weeping may endure for the moment, but joy coming in
49:55
the morning. I pray that I pray that over you.
50:01
I speak that unto you. I speak that whatever business
50:04
that it is you're trying to start, I pray that
50:07
it flourishes. I pray that it's all that you've imagined
50:10
it to me, and more, I pray success over you.
50:19
That's in healing to you, Hm, it's Lord, Thank your
50:29
Father God, Thank your Father God for allowing me to
50:33
be the vessel and the carrier of your word. Thank
50:40
you for this gift. I pray that whatever gift you have,
50:45
you let the world see. Don't ever be ashamed of embarrassed,
50:50
because there's somebody for everybody. A lot of people are
50:56
ashamed to take a chance because they don't want to fall.
51:02
But with failure come success. Sometimes you have to fall
51:06
down in order to get back up. I speak that,
51:14
I speak that into you. I hmm, I speak healing
51:23
into you. I speak whatever pain that you have sitting
51:31
in your body, I pray that it's lifted away. I
51:36
pray that you release yourself from that prison, from those
51:40
restraints that you have a hold on yourself. I pray
51:44
that you release that. I pray that you free yourself
51:47
from that. Because we can't see you as long as
51:51
you sit in adult. I speak that over you. I
51:56
pray that over you. Come on, y'all, gotta get up.
52:05
I want you to get up. Come on, y'all. We
52:07
gotta do this. Somebody's dependent on us. And when I
52:12
say somebody, I mean me, I mean you. We are
52:15
dependent on ourselves to succeed. Stop trying to measure someone
52:22
else's success versus yours because you don't know what that
52:26
person had to go through to get to where they are.
52:31
M Thank you, Father, God, I do I just I
52:39
say thank you. Thank you for being the love, being
52:43
the love and the light for the people that sit
52:48
in Adult, especially me. But we got this. I know
52:57
it's rough. I know it's hard. I know I know
53:00
it's easier to say I'm done. I know what it's
53:04
like for your mood to say keep going. And I
53:06
made this post today. I know what it's like for
53:08
your mood to say keep going. It'll get better to
53:10
the point where you're like, you know what, I can't
53:12
do this. I'm done. I'm ready to throw on a towel.
53:15
I know what those moods. I know what that moved
53:17
feels like because I endo it it today. I went
53:19
through it today because I woke up today and I
53:21
was like, you know what, I can't do this. I'm tired.
53:26
When is it gonna get better? Till I can get
53:30
through the day. I can get through tomorrow, I can
53:33
get through the day after that. You have to change
53:38
the way you speak over yourself. You have to change
53:40
the way you see yourself. You have to look at
53:42
yourself as victorious. You have to look at yourself as
53:45
a winner. And a lot of us don't look at
53:48
ourselves that way. A lot of us get in the
53:49
mirror and we look at ourselves as we failed because
53:52
we're not where we're supposed to be in life right now.
53:55
But stop, hmm, I try to stop trying to compete
54:01
with everybody. God didn't make your role to look like
54:06
that person of this person. God created you in his likeness,
54:12
So don't be upset because you're not where you thought
54:16
you should be. Sometimes the delay is for your protection.
54:26
Sometimes that's not where God feels you need to be.
54:30
Sometimes God closed that door for you because God feels
54:33
like You're bigger than that space. M I don't think
54:42
y'all understand that when I'm talking to y'all, I'm talking
54:44
to me, yes, because a lot of times I can't
54:50
hear my own self speaking until I hear it on
54:58
the other end of this microphone. So yeah, thank you
55:07
God for where we are. Thank you God for every
55:14
delay that you put in our way. And once we
55:17
got past the situation, we look back and we say,
55:20
you know what, that that wasn't for me. Thank you God,
55:32
Thank you. I'm so appreciative. Now. Yeah, I had to
55:42
wade through the waters this morning. Yeah it was rough
55:46
for me to get out of the bed, but I
55:49
got up, and yes I cried. Yes, my mental was
55:55
slipping today. It was, but that one phone call got
56:05
me over that home. That one phone call shook me
56:10
back to who I was. That one phone call made
56:13
me realize who the hell I really truly was. That
56:19
one phone call made me realize that while I'm over
56:24
here weeping, somebody else's jumping in joy. I'm grateful. I
56:40
thank God that I'm not where I used to be.
56:46
I thank God for pulling me out of that space
56:50
June the second and straightening my clothes up and making
56:54
me look presentable. I thank him for that, because, y'all,
56:59
I was looking at tired, hot, homeless mess, because I
57:05
was allowing my circumstances to disrupt my peace. I was
57:12
letting someone else's issues disturb my peace. I was letting
57:17
the way someone thought about me disturb my peace and
57:22
control my mental to the point where I said, you
57:25
know what, I'm ready to go. M Somebody needed to
57:35
hear that today. Yeah. Somebody needed that. Somebody needed the
57:46
shape back. Somebody needed to wake up call. Someone needed
57:51
to be to be reminded of who they were. Somebody
57:56
needed to be reminded that you're not a failure, baby,
57:59
regardless of what your mind has told you and what
58:02
the people that have told you. You're not a failure.
58:06
You only fail if you don't try. You're only a
58:12
failure if you give up, if you're giving to those
58:17
intrusive thoughts. Oh, I'm so proud of myself, y'all. I
58:32
got through episodes today and didn't cry. I had to fight, baby,
58:36
I had to fight them tears back. But I just
58:40
wanna say again, thank y'all, Thank y'all for loving me,
58:47
Thank y'all for supporting me. Thank y'all for being here
58:53
when I thought I was alone. Thank y'all for not
58:56
judging me. Thank y'all for allowing me to be vulnerable
59:00
and transparent and present in what I'm feeling in the moment.
59:07
Thank y'all for tapping me on my shoulder and giving
59:11
me that reminder and saying, hey, you got this. Thank
59:19
you for showing me the number of times that I
59:21
fell down, but spotlighting and highlighting the number of times
59:26
that I got back up. So I love y'all for that.
59:32
I appreciate y'all for that. Man that.
59:39
Speaker 3: Hm.
59:41
Speaker 1: I don't think y'all understand how grateful I am for
59:50
the many days ahead of me.
59:57
Speaker 3: I do.
1:00:00
Speaker 1: I'm grateful. I'm appreciative. Well, I tell y'all this is
1:00:09
let me tell you I needed this today. I know
1:00:13
someone out there needed this today. I know someone was
1:00:16
just waiting and was saying, come here, Ash come and
1:00:19
says I need you to shake me back. Come on,
1:00:24
let's let's let's shake it off together. I'm grateful for that.
1:00:31
I'm grateful for the joy y'all bring into my life. Hmm.
1:00:40
I'm grateful for this space that we have. I don't
1:00:45
think y'all understand, Jamia says I and I appreciate your
1:00:52
word of wisdom, it says, And I'm one of those
1:00:57
somebodies who needed this. Hm hm hm.
1:01:16
Speaker 6: M m m. Yeah.
1:01:24
Speaker 1: I couldn't do this without y'all. I couldn't do Black
1:01:28
Girl Interrupted without y'all. Mm hmm. This is ours. This
1:01:36
is our space, men, women, boys, girls, this is our space.
1:01:44
This is where we come in and we get to
1:01:46
kick off all the shoes and and relax and and
1:01:49
and we talk and we hug and we love, and
1:01:54
we encourage and we empower and we uplift. That's what
1:01:58
we get to do every week. Every week. I'm telling y'all,
1:02:06
I wasn't gonna come today. I wasn't gonna do this,
1:02:08
but somebody said they needed this today. I needed it today.
1:02:18
I needed this today because it was rough for me
1:02:22
this morning, at a rough morning, at a rough night.
1:02:27
But God woke me up. God cleaned me up, and
1:02:32
God says, you go out there and you're gonna be great.
1:02:38
So anybody that's struggling mentally, I love you. I love you.
1:02:51
You're doing a great job.
1:02:57
Speaker 5: You are.
1:03:02
Speaker 1: I see you. You're not alone, and I got you
1:03:14
I do. Wherever it is together. You're not alone. You're
1:03:22
not so I encourage everyone before you lay down tonight,
1:03:29
go sit in that mirror and tell yourself how proud
1:03:34
you are of yourself. Take it one day at a time.
1:03:41
The more positivity you speak over yourself, the more positive
1:03:44
things that will happen in your life. Words are powerful,
1:03:49
So you definitely have to be mindful of how you
1:03:50
speak over yourself when you sit down tonight and you
1:03:55
have that conversation with God or whomever it is that
1:03:57
you're that you talk speak with or pray to be
1:04:03
specific in what it is that you want, be specific
1:04:10
in the person that you want to become. Change hurts,
1:04:18
healing hurts, but it's only for a little bit of time.
1:04:25
It's not going to last always. It does get better.
1:04:31
And I said that, and know that I love you
1:04:34
out loud and on purpose. My love comes with no conditions.
1:04:42
My love for you is limitless and effortless.
1:04:49
Speaker 3: It is.
1:04:51
Speaker 1: And you'll just keep sitting back and watch my growth,
1:04:53
my evolution, and I want to see the same for you.
1:05:00
I want to hear your testimony. I want to hear
1:05:03
you come back and say, oh man, I was down
1:05:06
on this day, but I'm better truly be in a
1:05:12
safe space. Truly, Stop allowing those intrusive thoughts to dictate
1:05:18
your mood for the day. Stop allowing those negative people
1:05:22
who ain't got nothing going on in their life dictate
1:05:25
your mood for the day. Because see, a negative and
1:05:28
a positive can't co exist in the same room. Hello,
1:05:36
it can't, but I love y'all. Today is Monday, August eleventh.
1:05:44

1:05:49
I want you all to go be great. I want
1:05:52
you to put your all into whatever it is that
1:05:56
you have going on, whatever it is, give it up
1:05:59
