  Speaker 3: going to get right back into it coming up into
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: the fall. And in that podcast, we talk about Christ
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: in real life. We talk about struggles. We talk about
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: breaking throughs. We talk about all types of stuff. The
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: last season that I had, I had guests on. But
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: this season, it's just going to be me and God, y'all.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: We're going back to the garden. So that's what it's called,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: back to the garden with God. And so now I
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: am a host and curator of the Cooler Today content
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: creation workshop just headed in July. It was awesome. It
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: was awesome. It was in person and online. So I'm
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: taking like a little break from that because let me
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: tell y'all, that was not easy to curate and host.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: But I'm so grateful for my team that was with me.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Moving on, I am going to be in a pageant.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: So that's a thing now. So I'm running for, I'm
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: in a pageant called The Legacy Pageant, and it's right
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: here in Beaufort, South Carolina. I'm a mom of two beautiful,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: gorgeous girls who also are true believers in Christ. They're
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: eight and five years old, and they are on fire
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: for the Lord. Yeah, I am, I'm peculiar. I am,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: I'm resilient. I am.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I love her. I love to sing. I love to dance.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I love to be me. And I don't care what
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: nobody say. But I am humbled as well. So, yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Listen. I love that. And the smile and the energy
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: is amazing. You got me up here smiling because I
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: love when guests introduce themselves, talk unapologetically about who they
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: are and what they do. And I love that you
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: are faith based. So am I. And we're going to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: get into it. So we're starting off with the mindset moment. Now,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: just ask them questions about life, love and mindset. And
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: then you just let it flow. OK. OK.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: All right, you know we have to start with mindset
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: because before we can change anything around us, something usually
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: has to shift within us. Was there ever a season
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: when you knew you were called to something greater, but
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: your mindset hadn't quite caught up with your purpose yet?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: What helped you make that shift?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, there was plenty of seasons where I knew I
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: was called, but my mindset hadn't. height transition yet. And
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: I would say because I had a lot of baggage
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: with me. I had a lot of distractions as well.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Didn't know that they were distractions. It was during a
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: season where I was in a relationship and I thought
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: that I could carry this person with me, but that
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: wasn't my job. God said that was not my role,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: that I was never meant to carry someone else's luggage.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: So I, God gave me a dream. I was just
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: talking about this earlier with a friend of mine. God
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: gave me a dream. And in that dream, I was
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: running ahead as if I was running track. And that
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: person was like behind me and I had a baton
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: in my hand and he kept dropping the baton. And
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: God was showing me that you see how far behind
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: he is. Not saying that God would never heal him
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: or deliver him. It's just that I was on a
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: different path. I'm too far ahead. I have too far
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: ahead of me and I want more. You know what
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I'm saying? And I want God and I want that relationship.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: God said in order for me to get ahead, I
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: had to lose some things. So that was one of
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the things that was the biggest thing that was on
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: me that I had to lose. And when I did
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: that and truly was just done. God just was like,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, this was last year. God just was like
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: blessing me on top of blessing on top of blessing.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: And it's because I just like a like a veil
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: like ripped in front of me or something like my
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: spiritual eyes started to open more. I was praying more,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: fasting more. And I just was being still more. And
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: I was able to focus and just be in God's presence.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: And me and God was it just was building our
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: relationship like he was. He was just showing me just
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: how much he loved me. And I didn't have to
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: be in a relationship for that to be validated.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I love that. It's going to get deep, y'all. It
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: is really going to get deep. And I love that
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you talk about the baton because, you know, you watch
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: these track meets and Olympics and everything. And when you're
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: running a relay race and you pass the baton, what
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: happens when your partner drops or your teammate drops it?
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're both.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The whole team, not just you. Everybody is disqualified.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: So thank you for being transparent. Of course. We're going
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: to move into life a little bit. When you look
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: at the woman you are today compared to the woman
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you were several years ago, what life experience do you
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: believe changed you the most?
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: The life experience that changed me the most. The woman
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I was before me. She was loud on the outside,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: but very scared on the inside. The woman I was
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: before was beautiful looking on the outside, meaning like material
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: things and hair was done. I was supposed to talk
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: about this like five minutes ago. But the woman on
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: the inside was very depressed. I was people pleasing, all
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: that stuff like. I had so much anxiety. Didn't know
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I was living with that. Didn't even know what anxiety was.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I was having panic attacks. Didn't even know what that was.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I didn't know how to speak up for myself. I
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: would allow family to talk over me, talk like completely
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: bad to me and didn't know how to communicate effectively.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: The woman I was before, she was an alcoholic, smoked
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: marijuana to numb all that pain. And thought that that
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: was helping, but it wasn't. It was only making things worse.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: And so God allowed me to go through a season
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: where he had to literally strip all that away from me.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: And I had to go through almost like a wash. Yeah,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: it was like it was a wash, a wash and
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: clean season. And so sometimes when God puts you through
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: that wash and clean season, it will look like pain.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: it will look like he's not there it will look
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: like all hell has broken loose and it may have
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: it may have but he allowed me to go go
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: through that season of almost losing my mind but showing
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: me that he was still there yes and how he
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: continued to love me and wrap me in his arms
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: when others were walking away Literally, people were walking away
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: from me that I thought would be by my side.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: And so I'm going through this season and I'm gaining empathy.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I'm gaining sympathy. I'm gaining more of a reverence and
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: fear of the Lord. And so coming out of that season,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I still thought I knew it all.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Like most of us.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Yes, because I'm thinking, oh, I was sitting with the
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Lord and he done healed me and shown me all
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: these people. And God had to humble me once again.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I wasn't healed all the way. And I was trying
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: to walk into something and I wasn't healed all the way.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: But I thought I was. And so I went back
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: to the same person that I left. And then it
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: got seven times worse. And before I can even go
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: back fully into the person that I was before, meaning
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I had relapsed on smoking marijuana like twice after God
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: had already healed me and delivered me from that. I
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: remember hearing something that even though God delivers you for something,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that you're not going to go back
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: to it. Because sometimes you can go back to it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? And so I went back.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: and twice and then God showed me like it was
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: like worse I said this man I'm smoking this time
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: it's not the same as last like I mean I
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: was going through so much I was like felt like
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I was having heart attacks I was feeling like like
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: like like I was being attacked spiritually and all it
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: was was that I literally picked back up that bag
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: yeah that God never.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Told me to pick up yeah And that's the important
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: thing that we have to understand. When God takes that
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: bag away from us, stop picking it up. Or when
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: you give something to God, leave it there.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And it's easy said and done. I tell you,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: it's easy said and done. But at the same time,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: God understands that. And he has mercy and he has grace.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: That's why he says grace is sufficient. And his mercy
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: endures forever because he knows that we don't fully know. Right.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? He knows that. Just like
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: with Jesus, when he was on the cross, before he
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: got on the cross, he said, Lord, forgive them for
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: they do not know what they do. They thought they did.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: They thought they was doing the right thing, these religious people.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: But they had no clue of what they were doing.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: If they had known truly what they were doing, Jesus
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: would still be here today.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: But they gave him opportunity. Jesus gave them opportunity to
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: know and they didn't want to. Their mindset was closed off.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Right. My ears were closed to the Lord. I thought
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: it was open, but it was closed. And he literally
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: like if it wasn't for the prayers of the righteous
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: people that, you know, if God hadn't sent me around
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: my church family before me going into that season, I
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know if I would be here.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Because even though I was,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I said that I was alone and people walked away,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: I still kept hearing the prayers of the righteous. I
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: still kept like, I knew people were praying for me.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Even though I was being that prodigal son, I knew
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: people were still praying for me and helping me, you know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: in a way, like through prayers, I felt it. I
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: was in the spirit and I was feeling it. And
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: I was like, wow. And I was seeing, I was
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: being shown faces of people who were praying for me
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: and I was hearing the voices and, And I'm like, oh,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: my God. You know, so I tell you this. I
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: remember I said this on someone else's podcast. I remember
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: reading a scripture about the church praying for I think
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: it was Peter or Paul. And I still ain't looking
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: to see who it was for real. And he was
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: in jail for something that he that wasn't even bad.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: You know, it was nothing that he did that was wrong.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: They just put him in jail because he was spreading
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: the gospel of Jesus Christ.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: They literally prayed him out of jail, not going in.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: He had to go to court. He had none of that.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: The angel of the Lord came and took him out
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: of jail and placed him on the street. He didn't
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: even realize it until he was on the streets. I'm free. Yeah.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: That's exactly what happened to me when I was about
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: to lose my mind. I heard the prayers of the
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: righteous as if the whole church was praying for me.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: And I tell people all the time, prayer works.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, it does.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I would never lose my faith because I know prayer works.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely. It's a beautiful thing when you know you know.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: It's amazing to feel. I'm more intentional about when God
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: put people in my spirit to pray for them because
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: you never know what they're going for, what they're crying
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: out for. And intercession is real. Because I did have
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: a very close friend and she's like a sister to
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: me to this day. When I was walking in my
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: darkest season, she said she was always led to go
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: to the altar. She didn't know why. And when I
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: shared to her my story, she was like, wow, I
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: was standing in the gap for you. So I thank
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: God for her obedience. I thank God for her knowing
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: God for herself and having a relationship with him to
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: hear the voice of God say, go stand in the
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: gap for Kiki. She needs you right now. Yeah. Yeah.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: We can go on and on about God, y'all, because
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: God is good. You can't tell me nothing else. If
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: you don't know, I'm sorry. I don't know what to say.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: That's all I can say.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: That's it. That's it. He wants a relationship with you.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Be right there. Absolutely. Okay. So we're moving to
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: love because we've talked about the mindset. We've talked about life.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: We're going to talk about love. You encourage women to
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: recognize that they are brave, bold, and beautifully created. What
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: did your own journey of learning to love and accept
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: my Keisha look like?
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I would say I would talk about me working out.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: So this would be 52 weeks of me working out
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: one year. Thank God. So God be the glory. But
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: if it wasn't for my like obedience to like I
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: wouldn't I wouldn't have stuck with it. I was just
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: obedient to God. You know, I wouldn't have stuck with it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: In that process, I was learning to love myself because.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, I love myself. Yeah, but I
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: barely look at myself in the mirror. You know what
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I'm saying? When I look in the mirror, I'm always
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: looking at my stomach. Or I'm always looking at my fat,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: my rolls, or my jiggly arms. And I would never
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: look at the beauty of me. You know what I'm saying?
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Who God created me to be. I'm more than my body.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I'm more than how much I weigh. And I would
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: say this to anyone. They're like, you're more than that.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: You have to look at the little girl that's in
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: you or the little boy that's in you. And I
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: had to speak to that child in me, that little
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: girl who was still lost. I'm like, okay, so what's wrong?
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I'm talking to myself, but I'm talking to the child
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: in me. And I had to look at myself in
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: the mirror. And I'm like, what's wrong, baby? Literally talking
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: to myself. Because my mama didn't used to talk to
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: me like this. My daddy didn't used to talk to
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: me like this. So it was almost like I had
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: to kind of be the parent to myself. You get
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying? And I'm looking at myself in the mirror,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: eye to eye. And I'm looking at that little girl
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: that's sold. I said, what's wrong? Why don't you love yourself?
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Look at that beautiful smile that brightens up a room.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Look at you. You're gorgeous. That weight going to drop
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: off you. Don't worry about that. Yeah. Don't worry about that.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: When you do that inner work, especially with healing the
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: inner child, it is life changing.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: It's been there.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: So I get it. And I try not to get
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: emotional when you talk to you like that. But it's
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: like some of the same stuff that you did. I'd
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: have to go through that, too. And once you embrace
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: the things that you find as flaws, other people might
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: love them and it might tell you that. But until
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: you can recognize them as beauty, beauty marks, as I
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: call them. It won't matter until you do that work.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: You have to do that inner child work. Oh my God.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I didn't, I knew this was going to be a
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: great conversation, but I didn't know it was going to
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: go like this. So thank you guys. But that's amazing.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: So we're going to move into faith and mindset and
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: have a question that I want to ask you about that.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: So you describe yourself as a faith driven storyteller. How
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: has your faith influenced the way you think when life
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: doesn't look the way you pray for it to be?
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: God keeps telling me, be still and know that I
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: am God. It's that child he talked to. Be still
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: and know that I am God. It's almost like my kids,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: they come to me like, mommy, can I have this? Mommy,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: you said I could have that. But mommy, mommy. And
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I'm like, hold on.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I'm coming.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: I'm working it out. I'm handling some things. So be still.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: and that's exactly God teaches me through my children too
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: because the same thing that I do with my children
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: God does with me you know what I'm saying and
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: so that's how my faith increases in God I learned
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: how to whenever that child in me is getting agitated or,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: you know, like, okay.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Where you going, Lino? Okay. He's like, the H is
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: for nothing.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: The H is for nothing.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Peace.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Or he'll place a warmness on my heart. The H
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: is for nothing.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Right. I'm going to be looking for that. I think
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: that I have that, but I didn't know what it was,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to be looking for that, that sensation,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: that warmness right there. Cause I've had, I love it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: It is. It's like, it's like when your friend is near,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: you know, he warms your heart. Whenever a friend is
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: near a true friend, they warm your heart.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: And you may not even know that they're your friend yet,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: but they warm your heart.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: And that's how I know when I'm meeting someone and
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: they have Christ in them. And I don't even know you,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: but you're warm in my heart. You know what I'm saying?
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Same. Yeah.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: That's true friend that's in us.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Exactly. Wow. You guys are listening to another episode
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: of Kicking It With Kiki, a life-loving mindset. I am
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: joined with the beautiful Mykeisha and we're going to move
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: into the the next segment of the podcast, which is
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: called the Reality Check. Now, this is where we go
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: a little deeper because sometimes the person people see today
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: was built through experiences that they know absolutely nothing about.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: And you've been very transparent about some of the things
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: that you've experienced in life. You talk about creating spaces
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: where people feel seen and understood. Was there ever a
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: season in your own life when you didn't feel seen?
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: How did that experience shape the way you show up
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: for others today?
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, there have been plenty. So I'm trying to think
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: of which one where I didn't feel seen. I keep
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: thinking about the time when I was homeless. I keep
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: thinking about that time. Because I knew God was with me,
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: but I didn't feel seen by others, if that makes sense.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Community. I didn't feel that I had that at that time.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: And mind you, I didn't go to church like that
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: during that time because I was embarrassed. And I was ashamed.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: It was hitting heavy on me. And so I would
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: stay home and watch service. Or I would, not home,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: but I would be out in the park watching service.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Or if I had time, because I was like door
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: dashing during that time too. But yeah, I would say
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: during that time, I didn't feel seen. I wish, I
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: wanted someone to check on me.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: I wanted someone to reach out. And I felt like
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: I burned bridges. I don't know why, but I felt
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: like I had burned some bridges too. Because of that
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: process of God delivering me and healing me, I still
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: felt a cutting tongue, if that makes sense. Where I
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: kind of was not truly there all the way yet.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: And maybe it was God just protecting me and protecting
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: others too, you know, because they didn't truly fully know
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: what was going on with me.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Right. And so I think sometimes isolation isn't meant to
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: make us feel like we don't have anybody, but it's
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: the form of protection.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. I think so.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Did I answer your question? You did.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: You absolutely did. When did you realize your story wasn't
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: something you needed to hide from, but something you could
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: actually use to help someone else?
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: When I stopped caring about what people would think, I
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: just got sick and tired of being sick and tired.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: I got sick and tired of looking at lies and
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: looking at unauthentic people and I just was like, I'm
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: not going to wait until the perfect moment. There's no
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: such thing, right? Yeah, there's no such thing. God was
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: just calling me to do it. I've seen people, women
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: on my timeline, talking about the most depressive stuff. And
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I never was like that. I never talked like that,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: even when I was going through all that. I just
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: felt like that was just... For me, like, wanting attention
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: at the same time. Not saying all of it was,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: but at the same time, I think it was them, like,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: trying to call out to people instead of calling out
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: to God.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Listen, I don't even know what to say after what
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: you just said.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Trying to call out to people instead of calling
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: out to God.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. With that same energy. Yeah.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Same energy.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Same energy. God said, come to me as you are.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: He don't care if you're mad, upset, whatever. Come to
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: me as you are. And I did. I just went
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: to God. I'm mad. I'm tired, God. I'm upset. I
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: don't hate you. But I'm mad. I'm upset.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I'm tired. What am I doing? What do I need
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: to do?
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: And he would answer. He would answer. You have to
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: just be sincere in your approach and he would answer.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: And prayer is only having a conversation with God, like
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: talking to God.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: That's it. People think you need to like You know,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: do all this fancy stuff.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: No.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: God can't see through all of that. You're like, all right,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: let's get to the root.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Right. Exactly.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Come to my throne boldly. Let's get to the root.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: I don't care all that you're trying to put a
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: boat on top of the thing.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: No.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Let's rip it. Let's get to the root of the issue.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Exactly. I love you more and you're ugly. Yeah. That
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: is God. I had to realize that. God don't care
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: about all of the outside. I mean, yeah, you want
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: to make sure that you look presentable and people to
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: see your light. But he wants you not when everything
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: is good. Like, come to me all the time. Yes, God. Yeah.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: He wants you like that so he can get the glory.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? That's how you draw all
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: men unto God, through your testimony. Because you can only say,
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: but God did that for me. That's it.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: That's a beautiful thing. That is a beautiful thing. Because
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation because neither one
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: of us would probably be here right now. No. Yeah.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: So that's a good segue into your clothing brand, your
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: apparel brand. And you named it crowned and authentic. What
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: inspired the name?
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: So it was inspired by me feeling so insecure. And
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: God said, you're crowned. I've crowned you. You're chosen. You're
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: a priest. You have priesthood. You're peculiar. You have authority
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: and power that I give you. Use it.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Use it.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: And you're authentic. The authentic comes from the creating something
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: out of nothing. It is telling your story, like you said,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: unapologetically and just not going around the bush, but going
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: straight through. Right. No matter if you get scratches and
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: tone up, all this stuff. No, you're going to hear Everything.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: The knitted to the gritty.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: There you go. Haven't heard that in a long time.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, we're not throwing nothing under the rug because for
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: too long, this has been happening generation after generation. And
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: God has been showing me the patterns of how family
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: and mom and daddy and grandma, they do so much
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: stuff under the rug. Every time something happens, it's being
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: thrown under the rug. And God's like, no, that stops
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: with you. You're going to be the disruptor in your family.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: So let's disrupt some systems.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: All of them. All of them. All of them. All
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: of them. Yes.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: All of them.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: So if anyone that's listening would like to be a
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: supporter of your brand or purchase something, how would they
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: go about doing that?
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: So right now, my website is under construction, but definitely
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: reach out to me um at mykeisha wolf on instagram
• 29:39

• 30:03

• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I love it. So we're moving into the action step,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: turning inspiration into transformation. I always want people listening to
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: take something that they can use every day that will
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: inspire them and motivate them to help experience that mindset
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: shift in life and love. For the person listening, Who
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: knows they are being called into a new chapter, but
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: is afraid to leave what feels familiar. What is one
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: step that they can take today?
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Pray about everything. And if you don't know how to pray,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: just say, God help me. In Jesus name, amen.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: And I want to say, make it a consistent thing
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: to go before God. morning and night in the word
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: of God in Joshua 1 God talks about reading this
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: book of instruction meditating not just reading but meditating on
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: this book the Bible of instruction day and night so
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: that you can make your way prosperous so you can
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: do everything it tells you to do And then that
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: you will make your way prosperous. And so even when
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: it may seem like things are not moving, know that
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: God is always moving and that he's working something out
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: in your favor and that he's protecting you from some
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: things in the spirit and probably in the natural as well.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: And he wants you to just trust him. Just like
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: a father doesn't tell their child every single detail of everything.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: It is because he is protecting that child from something.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: And he wants that child to wait until he's ready
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: to give him that gift so you can unwrap it
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: and enjoy it. He wants you. He says, it is
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: my good pleasure to give you these things.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: So allow God to transform you. Allow God to be
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: the powder and you be the clay. Let her mold you.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Let her mold you. I love that. Yeah. What does
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: loving yourself practically look like when you're in a season
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: where you don't necessarily feel confident, beautiful, strong, or worthy?
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Practically, I sit before God and I tell God everything. God,
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: I don't feel good. I don't feel beautiful right now.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: And I sing songs of worship to the Lord. I pray.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: I journal. That's a big thing. Journal, journal, journal. I've
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: been journaling for years. Journal, journal your thoughts. Journal when
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: you wake up. Journal when you go to sleep because
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: you can't, all that stuff in your brain, you can't
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: fathom to have all that stuff on your mind.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Pour it out on paper and your tablet and your phone.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: And journal.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: There are so many ways you can journal. You can
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: even talk to the voice messages, voice thing and do
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: it that way.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Journal.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: You might be writing about 8000 books. You just never know.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: And journal. Another thing that I do is paint. I
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: do things that I love to do. So whatever you
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: love to do, maybe you like to sing. Maybe you
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: like to play the piano, the guitar, you know, do
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: those things. Maybe you like to read, read, read books
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: on top of books. Get your mind ready. your mind
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: into the books and read maybe you like to go
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: walk by the the park so i used to love
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: i love going by the lakes and and walking by
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: water um especially because of psalm 23 that was heavy
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: on me during the year i was going through i
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: was going through and when i was homeless but god
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: said he will lead me beside the still waters meaning
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: i will my soul will get refreshed restored Walk beside
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: the still waters. Walk on the beach. Walk by the river.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Those are still waters. And God will restore your soul.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Refresh you. Working out. Practical thing. But working out is
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: like therapy.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: It is. Stretching.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: You know. I do these things.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: So.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Going out with, you know, friends, like, you know,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: not doing unrighteous, unholy things, but maybe going out for coffee.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: I don't drink coffee, but going to a coffee shop
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: and sitting down, having a nice meal for yourself, going,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: you know, and then some other things that people don't
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: really talk about. But go get your nails and your
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: hair done. Go, you know, go look cute. Put on
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: a cute dress, a sundress, some heels. Even though you
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: might not feel it, just put it on and go
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: and enjoy yourself. Even if you got to go on
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: a date by yourself, just do it.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I so agree with that.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely. I love that. And so we all have
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: negative thoughts, fears, and self-doubts, right? About starting over. What
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: is something that you can say to the listeners about
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: starting over without regret.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: I would say this I don't think it's starting over
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: I just think you're seeing what you what what you
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: can do better so you will never know what you
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: can do better if you don't fail at something or
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: if you don't If maybe it just don't work, it
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: won't be perfect. You keep going. Even when it may
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: not look the way you want it to look, you
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: keep getting back up. Going to the workshops, you still
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: go to church, you read your Bible, you still go
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: before the Lord and just go. I will also say
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: that if you feel that you're starting over, it's probably
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: a good thing.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: That's like me when I paint. Sometimes I may not
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: like what I paint. You know. But I might have
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: to start over. I might have to do another canvas.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: And then maybe another canvas. And it's okay.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: I don't really take it as starting over.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: I would probably say a reset.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Reset. Because God said he uses everything to work.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: For the good of those who love God, he uses
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: it and he aligns it to his will. Isn't that awesome?
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: The good, the bad, the ugly, the mistakes, everything, everything,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: the day, everything, everything. He uses it to align to
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: the will that he has for your life.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yes. And it's a beautiful thing. So, Mykeisha, we
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: have something in common. We are both podcast hosts, right?
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: So, what inspired the Cool of the Day podcast? And
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: what did you want or what do you want people
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: to feel when they hear the name or experience your show?
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: So, the Cool of the Day podcast was actually inspired
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: by By season, when I just was going before the Lord,
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: I didn't have nothing. I didn't have nothing. I didn't
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: have all this stuff I have in this room was
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: not here. It was empty. And it was just me
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: and God in the garden. Just like Adam and God
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: was walking in the garden during the cool of the day.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: That was me and God.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: I love that. That's amazing. Yeah. How has being a
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: podcast host changed the way you listen to others' stories?
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: It caused me to pay attention more because sometimes I'll
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: be ready to like, okay, like say what I want
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: to say. But it caused me to, it helped me,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: it trained me to listen more to what people are saying,
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: to pay attention to the conversations. So I won't be
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: so anxious to go to my next question or it'll
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: just be a flow.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: You know, it'll be a flow. Of course, I have
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: questions to guide the conversation, but ultimately it'll just be
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: a flow. And me and that person can kind of
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: piggyback off each other and it goes well and it'll
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: be well for the people who are viewing.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: The podcast. I love that. You know, I'm all about
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: the energy and I always create questions, but we don't
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: always stick to the questions. But these are some good questions.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: I was like, I'm not sending anybody questions. I want
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: to make sure that the answer is because I want
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: to make you think because you had to pause a
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: couple of times. And I'm like, that's it right there.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: She's actually been intentional about what she wants to say.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: And truly taking the time to think about the question
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: before putting out, just saying anything or just chat GPT
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: in it, the answers and having it like sitting right
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: there to just read verbatim. You know, we can always
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: tell when something is forced.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: And unauthentic.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Now, there was times where I was a little unauthentic
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: and God had to get me on that. And I
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: was like, okay. Because I was just starting out, you know,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: and when I started having guests on my show, that
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: was the hardest thing. Because when it was just me
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: by myself, I'm just talking and talking and I'm looking at,
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: you know, make sure I hit certain points. But when
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: it was guests coming, I'm like, oh, my God, like I.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: I can't. I got to listen. I got to, you know,
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: you know, and so.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: But now we're good.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, so what are you building next? I know you
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: touched on it a little bit in the beginning that
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: you coming back after having a hiatus and it's just
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: gonna be you and God. So what can people expect
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: from your podcast in the next chapter?
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: So this next chapter is called Back to the Garden.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: Back to the Garden is just repositioning myself to go
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: like to be back at God's feet and not saying
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: that I never was but it's no more um interviewing
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: people um it's more so having a a conversation with
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: God as I'm recording if that makes sense um And
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: that's going back to like the basics of when I
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: first was doing the podcast. Because I kind of rushed
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: into like interviewing people because I was excited. But God
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: needs me to kind of come back, really back in.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: And let's kind of like doing Bible study.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: You know, like, because me and God, like, he be
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: having me go all over the word. You know what
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: I'm saying? All over the book, all over the Bible.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: But it all is like a map and it ties
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: in to the main point of what we talking about
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: that day.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: You know, and so I want to do that. I
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: want people to see how God conversates and how so
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: easy it is to just go before God and he'll
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: speak to you through his words. And he'll show you
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: some things. And you'll be like, oh, oh, oh, oh.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Okay. There it is. Yes, absolutely.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: I want to show my viewers that. I want to
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: show them how they can, too, do the same things
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: that I'm doing.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: And not be afraid. Not saying they got to make
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: a podcast and all that. But just how to get
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: back to the garden. Get back to that foundation. And
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: dwell in the word. And dive deep into it. And
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: not be afraid of God.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Not be afraid. Oh, I love that. Well, I wish
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: you much success. And tell listeners how they can listen in.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: Where is the podcast streamed? Do you have the YouTube channel?
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Go ahead and plug everything so I can go ahead
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: and make sure that it is included in the show notes, please.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: So we're going to be on YouTube. Still deciding if
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: I want to do Apple and Spotify like before. But
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: we're going to be on YouTube at TCO. podcast and
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: that's the acronym for the cool of the day podcast
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: yeah that's on YouTube and you can also check us
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: out on Instagram for our short clips and short little
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: things that we have on Instagram it's called TCOTD podcast
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: on Instagram.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Got it alright we're going to our last segment which
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: is the mic drop I'll ask you three questions and
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: then you just say the first thing that comes to mind. Okay.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: What part of yourself are you most proud that you
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: never gave up on?
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: My mind.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: If the younger version of Mykesha could see the woman
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: sitting here today, what do you think she would say?
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: She's beautiful.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Finish this sentence. I finally started becoming myself when I stopped.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: And what others think.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Love it. I love it. And you know I cannot
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: let you go without asking the question that I ask
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: every guest. When life challenges you and love stretches you,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: what mindset keeps you grounded?
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: The mindset of Christ.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: And there we have it. That's the mic drop moment, y'all.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: That's the mic drop. So this conversation was such a
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: beautiful conversation. Thank you for being here. Thank you for
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: being so open and transparent. I love your vulnerability when
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: it comes to talking about your faith, your experiences, your
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: love for God and all the things. For someone who
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: is listening right now, what is something positive that you
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: can say to them to make sure that they don't
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: downplay their faith? And God.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: So many things that I could say. That should have
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: been an immediate question, an immediate answer. But one thing
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: positive that I can say so that they don't downplay
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: their faith in God. Well, in order to not downplay
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: your faith in God, it says faith comes by hearing
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: and hearing by the word of God. So read the
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: word of God out loud so you can hear. You
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: can hear. You can hear what God is saying. You
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: can gain faith. Go get a church home, a Holy
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: Spirit filled church home where Christ is the center. And
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: the pastor, he's after God's own heart.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah. All right, guys. You know, you have
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: been listening to another episode of Kicking It With Kiki, Life, Love,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: and Mindset. To everyone who is listening, your life is
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: still being written, okay? Love yourself through every chapter, good, bad, ugly, whatever.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Protect your mindset. It keeps you moving forward without thinking
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: or getting stuck in that moment. So make sure that
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: you are doing things that are feeding your mindset. Like
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: Makisha said, journaling, grounding, reading the word, prayer, meditation. Go
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: get your nails done. If that's something that's going to
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: change your mindset or keep it in a positive light,
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: then do that. Do it more often. Spend time with yourself.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Because I feel like I love spending time with myself.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: If you don't love you or like being around you,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: how do you expect somebody else to? And remember that
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: so as a man thinketh, so is he. So we
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: have to change the way we think so that we
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: can change the way we live and live life abundantly.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: We were not put here to be mediocre. Stop thinking
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: that your story is the worst story that's ever been written.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: It's not. And it's okay to be sick and tired
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: of being sick and tired. Just don't stay stuck in
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: that mindset. Move forward so that you can change that
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: and shift. Because we experienced so many life lessons, experiences,
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: mindset shifts. It's life. It's better than the alternative. And
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: we all know what that is. So keep pouring in yourself.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Keep showing up for yourself. Surround yourself with people who
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: show up for you just as you show up for them.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: Until next time, keep growing, keep loving, and keep becoming.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: Purple hug.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: Later.
