• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the scenes of The Grind.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Let's get to it. Back on The Grind.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know if y'all can tell it in my
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: voice today, but today is just one of those, like,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: joyful days. I don't know what it is or where
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: it's coming from and honestly I was thinking about the
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: fact that I was even trying to pinpoint the reason
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: behind my joy and I'm like girl why you just
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: can't enjoy having joy like why do you have to
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: pinpoint where it's coming from and why you feel it
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: why you feel so joyful you deserve it and that
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to me was like a realization point of like okay
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you know maybe I am getting really grown and becoming
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: an adult in this thing called life Because I think for,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I would say, man, throughout college and a lot of
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: my adult life after college, I've always been trying to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: figure out what was the center point of my happiness.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: At one point, I thought it was always work. When
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I'm accomplishing things at work, when I'm successful in my
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: work life, new jobs, At another point, I thought it
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: was just new experiences in general. So like, you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I moved to L.A. and then I moved back to Delaware.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: And then I was like, nope, I want to go
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to L.A. But before I went back to L.A., I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: went to Atlanta because I'm like, you know, I'm new
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: experiences and I need that. And that makes me happy.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And then I was like, oh, no, I want to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: be somewhere. I want to be set up. I want
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: to figure something out. I want to be consistent. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: then I mean, now I feel like in my adult life,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: like it can be like the smallest thing whatsoever, like.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I remember to.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Turn the lights out in the house and turn the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: air conditioning off when I leave for a few days
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: so that my bill is not insane. Look, if you know,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you know. Or it can be something as small as
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: just feeling well-rested, getting enough rest. Or, shoot, y'all, these
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: mornings been kicking my behind. I don't know what it
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: is about this week, but this week, and I've been
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: going to bed relatively, not early, but on my regular
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: scheduled time. I'm never in bed early because I feel
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: like I'm always... feeling unprepared for the next day. So
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to do as much as I can so
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: that my morning isn't as like hectic. And I want
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to be, you know, like just be a little bit
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: overprepared and have something to pull from. But I don't
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: know if it's the rest or whatever the case may be.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: But what I'm trying to say and saying all of
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: this is that I've gotten to a point now where
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I just really enjoy like small things. And I'm like
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: grateful for really, really, really small things. This was a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: big shift that happened for me just mentally in the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: way I thought about things. you know, honestly, since being
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: back home and being close to the family, I talked
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: about this a bit in my last episode of The
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Latest with Lauren LaRosa, where I talk about, you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: just the blessing of being able to age and watching
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: people you love age and how that should be.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Honored and rewarded and talked about.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And I really, really, really, really, really, like I feel
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that and believe that in my heart so much as
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I become older and I'm watching my mother and my
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: grandmother and my aunts and my uncles become older and
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: enjoy the life that they've worked so hard for.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't always like this.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I think the better I get at understanding that I
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: don't have to find joy in every single moment and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: every single thing, and it doesn't have to be intentional.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: It can be intentional. There are things that I'm learning
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: now that I do enjoy in these moments. So it
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: can be intentional.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: But the more that I learn that joy doesn't have
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to be intentional, it's not something that you have to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: go seek out. It's just something that small, everyday things things,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: like waking up and being able to take a breath
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of fresh air should be able to provide for you,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: it's just changing my mindset a lot on what I
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: prioritize as important on the tangible side of things in
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: my life. And when I was thinking like that, in
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: my mind, as I was preparing to figure out just
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes, how am I really feeling? I was like, girl,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: that is very mature of you. It was not always
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: like that. And I think a lot of that too
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: is me having to really check in on myself in
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: this era of life that I'm in because people don't
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: talk enough about as you achieve and as you grow
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and as you age and as you begin to want
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: more and want more substance and these different things in
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: your life there's like a pressure that is on you
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: about all of that but it's weird because it's like
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: there's this pressure where you you know especially like as
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a woman I was having a conversation yesterday just about
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: like a biological clock pressure and like You know, women
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: haven't had children within a certain time period. And Bevy Smith,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I was talking to Bevy Smith. I'll be doing some
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: things with her on her podcast soon. You guys will
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: hear about that. And Bet With Bevy is the name
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: of it. And she asked me, like, you know, do
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: you have the angst around the fact that, like, you know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: you're 34 and your biological clock is getting to that
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: point where you got to start figuring out kids? And
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I was like, no, I don't. Like, I know I
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: want to be a mom. I know I'm going to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: be a mother. I know I'm going to be a wife.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: and all the things, but I don't have the inks.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: And I think I don't have it because I've learned
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and have grown into becoming just so grateful for things
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: that money can't buy, that it has in turn made
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: me really, really appreciate the physical, tangible things that I'm
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: experiencing in my life as well too. And that balance
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: is something that like.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: You hear about and you seek out, but you don't always,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: it's hard to achieve.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And honestly, even getting here, it's like I'm here today
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: But I can't guarantee y'all this will be my mindset tomorrow.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Something can happen. Something can make you upset.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: It's a daily challenge to stay here in this space
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: because when you're in this space, no matter what goes
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: wrong or what goes right, you always remember what the
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: higher intention and assignment and purpose is for you even
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: being in that space, that opportunity, that mindset, that moment
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: in life. But yeah, I was saying all this to say,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: going back to my original point, There's a level of
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: accountability in realizing that achieving doesn't make you the better person,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: who you are as you achieve and how you go
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: about it and how you like, just, just how you
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: like do life. Like y'all ever heard somebody say like, Oh,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: we doing life together. Like, you know, married couples, you
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: got to do life with yourself. And what I have
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: had to become accountable for is, And within myself about
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: is the fact that doing life with myself doesn't always
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: just mean I'm the highest achiever or I'm the person
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: with my hand raised in the room. And I think
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of me feeling like it was comes from,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know, there's always been this like people pleasing.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I'm only as good as my last accomplishment. I'm only
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: as good as my last story thing. And I've talked
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: to you guys about that. And growing out of that
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: has been, like, the most freeing thing ever. I'm not perfect,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and I'm not fully there. There are days where I
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: feel like, girl, what are you doing? You're not doing enough.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: But a lot of the days are starting to shift,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and I feel the shift. And I've been intentional about
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: saying it out loud, talking about what I'm experiencing out
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: loud with people, talking about imposter syndrome, talking about all
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: these things, because I know that this is not something that, like,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: was given to me to live with me and last
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: within me forever. Because about three years ago, I didn't
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: even identify with imposter syndrome. I thought people who talked
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: about that were like, you know, these, and I separated myself.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I'm just being honest about how I thought about it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I thought that that had to deal with like a
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: deep depression and sadness and, you know, not being able
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: to find your way until I got into like one
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: of the best career pivots ever of my life. And
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I was feeling like, but wait, why am I here?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: And am I, am I even worthy of being here?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, Lauren, you got to start disattaching
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: yourself from the things you achieve and from the applause
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: and from the people. Because if you don't, y'all, my God,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: your joy is going to be so few far in between.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Because at every level, it's like you have all these
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: goals and you get there. And then you get there
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and you're like, wait, hold on.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: There's more, though. But get into that more, though. It's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: like your mental when getting there, it matters.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: And being accountable and understanding that, like, I can't go
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: from step one to step two. If I don't even
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: understand in step one, everything I'm supposed to enjoy and
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: everything I'm supposed to, you know, as God put these
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: things on my table, I'm supposed to help.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Them, you know, continue to multiply.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And I'm busy looking over at somebody else's table or
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: looking at the end of the way far end of
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the table, trying to see the way far end of
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the table to see what's next.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Like, I feel good today. I hope you guys do too.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Let's get on into the latest.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: So we have a court update.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Because Jay-Z and Tony Busby are still going at it
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: in court.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Let me explain.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: So for those of you guys who don't remember who
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Tony Busby is, Tony Busby is a attorney who, you know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: he was responsible and is still responsible for a lot
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: of civil cases that came, you know, from the sexual
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: assault conversations against people like Diddy, Jay-Z.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: So two years ago now, Tony Busby.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: had a Jane Doe that came to him, he alleges,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: that came to him and said, look, I was 13
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: years old. Diddy and Jay-Z, well, first it was Diddy.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Before Jay-Z even entered the chat, first it was Diddy.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: The Jane Doe alleged that Diddy sexually assaulted her after
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: a VMA party. She was 13 years old. And then
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: there was a second solution. that was there, but we
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: didn't know who the second celebrity was.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Then, allegedly... Jay-Z enters the chat.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Tony Busby, on behalf of Jane Doe, claimed two years
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: ago that Jay-Z was the second celebrity in that, you know,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: they took advantage of this 13-year-old girl. Now, this Jane
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Doe did NBC News interviews behind a screen. You couldn't
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: see her, but you could hear her. And the whole
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: case just fell apart. You know, people she said were
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: at certain places weren't there. People she said, her dad,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: she said her dad picked her up. You know, from
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: this party, the dad could not corroborate that. It would
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: not go on record to do it either. Everything just
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: fell apart. Tony Busby and Jane Doe then dismissed the
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: case voluntarily, right? Now, Jay-Z moved forward with, filing an
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: extortion lawsuit against Tony Busby and filing a malicious practice
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: lawsuit against Tony Busby as well, too, for even moving
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: forward with that sexual assault lawsuit. Because Jay-Z claims you
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: knew that this was BS. You didn't do your due diligence.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: You did not investigate. You didn't do anything you were
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: supposed to do. You were trying to shake me down
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: for money because there was a letter that was sent
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to Jay-Z before anything was filed in court that Jay-Z says,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: y'all were trying to get me for money and I'm
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: not backing down. And he didn't back down. Now, the
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: extortion case was out of California and that was actually
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: dismissed by a judge because the judge said, well, look,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the case was dismissed voluntarily, but we can't prove that
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Tony Busby or any of the other attorneys that worked
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: with him actually knew that this stuff was false or
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: could not be corroborated anyway before sending you that extortion letter.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: But Jay-Z has always alleged otherwise.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Now, fast forward.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Victim Jane Doe, alleged victim Jane Doe, recants her statement.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: So Jay-Z filed something in court earlier this week where
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Jane Doe says not only, she has a new attorney,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: first of all, and this new attorney, what I think
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: is happening is this new attorney is trying to save
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: her because at this point she's committed perjury. She is
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: admitting in this new paperwork that was filed by Jay-Z
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: that not only did Jay-Z not rape her, but Jay-Z,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: she's never even met Jay-Z. Her statements were false. You know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: she says she suffers from a health condition. She says
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: some of the attorneys that were representing her in that
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: lawsuit that was filed against Jay-Z and Diddy, she had
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: never even met before. Tony Busby, she says she met
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: right before she did that big NBC News interview that
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I told you guys about, which shattered her whole story.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: She says she was given $ 1, 200 at the time when
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: she traveled for the NBC News interview.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Now, let me tell y'all something. In her statement.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: She talks about being so poor at that time that
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: she was amazed by the fact that they gave her $ 1, 200. Like,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: she barely had money to get her car together.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: So you got this.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: It seems like, you know, you got this poor girl who...
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: It's just like mentally not okay, medically not doing well.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: She even says the attorneys never even asked her how
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: her health conditions affect her memory. They just move forward
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: with all the things that they were doing. So she's
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: recanting everything. She's literally saying on paper they did not
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: do their job. They did not investigate. They did not
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: ask me the right questions. There was one part of
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: her statement where she says— some of the different, you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: things that were in letters that were sent out where
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: she was signed them. She received one of them. She
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: said she signed it in like six minutes. She barely
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: didn't even read it. She had no idea what was
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: being done on her behalf, according to her. So Jay-Z
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: now is going back to court in California. He's telling
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: a judge in California, look, I know y'all dismissed this case,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: but this needs to make it back in the court. OK,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: because this woman, she's this is everything she's saying. This
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: needs to make it back in court. I now have
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: proof that they move forward with that with that letter,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: knowing that these things were not true. Tony Busby filed
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: documents in court saying that the recanted statement that I
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: just told you guys about was bought and paid for
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: by Jay-Z. Basically, that Jay-Z, Roc Nation influenced this woman
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: through money. to get on paper and recant her statements because,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: you know, this new testimony they've been saying is new
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: news to them.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: She talks about four of their attorneys.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Everything she said to those four attorneys was consistent at
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the time. And when anything changed, they decided to dismiss,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: you know, their allegations. Her new attorney says, yes, she
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: was raped, but it was not by Jay-Z. She's never
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: put the foot down on. She has never met him, period.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: There's going to be a lot more here, y'all. I mean,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: of course, Jay-Z is going to want sanctions. And sanctions
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: is basically like when a court, when you get in
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: trouble with the court, when you're a person reporting to
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the court. Now, the girl, the Jane Doe, the alleged victim,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: she's looking at charges of perjury, right, under penalty of
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: law because you lied to a court. Like, you lied
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: in these official documents. The attorneys, however, there's a ton
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: of different things that can happen with them. They can
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: be disembarred. I'm sorry, take that out. They can be disbarred.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: So they can, this can mean the permanent or long-term
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: removal of their license to practice law. Their license can
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: be suspended. That can range anywhere from months to years.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: There's public censure or reprimand, which is a formal public
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: condemnation published in legal registry, severely damaging the lawyer's professional reputation.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: So letting you know like, yo, this is a bad lawyer.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: He is unethical. They're unethical.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: And there also can be financial penalties, fines, mandatory restitution,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: or any funds wrongfully coerced. Jay-Z talked about losing millions
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: of dollars behind that lawsuit. And just the stress and
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: everything that was put on his wife, Beyonce, and his daughter,

  Speaker 1: And, you know, his kids that'll grow up and have
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: to hear about this. He's gonna have to explain this
