Daz It, Daz All
Getting Back To You
Have you ever found yourself gasping for air in the whirlwind of daily chaos? That's exactly where I was, until I discovered the magic of a simple breath. Hey, KC Carnage here, and on today's show, we're getting real about the lifelines we cling to in the storm of life. With the help of Porcelynn and Ellen, we tear down the walls to reveal the raw truth of our personal quests for happiness. We dig into the earthy goodness of hiking, the rhythms of daily routines, and the soulful exhales in breathing exercises that keep us afloat amidst the turmoil. Together, we're challenging the noise and finding solace in the practices that anchor us to who we truly are.

See you next show!
Yeah, I do my breathing exercises because it's super important for me, because it can get out of hand. So if I don't want any little accidents to happen, I rebuke that.
Speaker 2:But I have to take breaths. Aries, okay, I'm a Leo, so I feel you, I feel you, I feel it.
Speaker 3:Yes, Is it like a place you like to go?
Speaker 1:I just stop wherever I am and breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth.
Speaker 3:Breathing in positivity. Breathing stays thriving. That's it, that's all. That's it, that's all. Keep it real. That's it, that's all. That's it, that's all. Is that really it, though? What up, what up, what up, what up? Welcome back. This is that's it, that's All. Y'all know me, kc Carnage. I'm your host today. We have Porcelain on the show, Hi, and we have Ellen on the show. Whoop, whoop. I was gone for a minute. Now I'm back.
Speaker 2:Oh, she said she a veteran.
Speaker 3:She said I'm back bitches, okay, cool. So you know, I've been in a very organic mode lately and you know, you think about, like, what you want to talk about, how what was going to know the discussion is going to be about, and what I came to is it's like getting back to you. Right? I feel, personally, there's been a shift that's been happening in my life where it's like I'm remembering all the things that make me happy, I'm remembering all the things that keep me motivated. I'm trying to stay the course and also listen to what the signs are giving me. So I want to talk about that today. Like, so how y'all week been? Like, have y'all felt any of that shifting? Or like, have you felt like you've had to, like, do things to remember who you are?
Speaker 2:okay, I know that. Look you go first. Okay, um, so for me, I think the last I would say maybe last like three weeks it's been creating a good routine for myself. You know, getting up, making myself breakfast, doing something to get back to my body, whether it be tea, you know banana, oatmeal, whatever the vibe is, and then, um, you know, working. I thank god I'm having an opportunity to work from home, so that's been a one because I wasn't doing that for a year and a half.
Speaker 2:So now congratulations got our own schedule. Yeah, that's a blessing and I think that's afforded me a lot of free time. So I get to work out and spend more time at home and, you know, cooking and just creating some, some good space for myself, that's awesome Me personally.
Speaker 1:I've been hiking. I have a friend we hike every Thursday and Friday at Culver City Stairs. That's been feeding my soul. It's been helping me reconnect to the focused, driven person that I once was. Just you know, climbing the stairs, which is not easy If you're not Already active and in shape, and it proves to me Every time that you know Ain't no mountain High enough.
Speaker 3:It's also like it's like mind over body, like your body Is meant to do things that your mind Will trick you Out of doing.
Speaker 1:Isn't that the crazy thing? It's gonna to be talking the whole time. It's loud and it's trying to distract you.
Speaker 2:It's trying to distract you, it'd be that inner voice that's like you can't do it. Your brain be telling you that and in reality you're capable of so much more.
Speaker 3:I was talking to Ellen the other day. I'm moving and in the midst of my move the thing was I was just like everybody just wanted to know oh, you're moving, what are you doing, what it's going over the book, just all these fucking questions, and I'm like nobody's offering me a job to wear, no one's telling me you should stay, because this is like no one's giving me necessarily solutions, they're just trying to be nosy.
Speaker 3:So I literally had to block everything out. It's just kind of like I don't. I'm in a space right now. I'm not trying to answer nobody's questions, because I feel like when, when people are asking you questions, that, even though they're doing it out of love and like to be to like you know, act like they're. Or I would say, act like, but like make sure that they're in your life and ask you questions checking up on you, I get that. But it's also a point where it's just kind of like sometimes, depending on how much they influence you, you can change your mind.
Speaker 3:You can have a whole plan, a whole plan. You knocked it out. You don't research this plan for weeks, right, and one person can just question it, or you look on their faces and it'll really make you doubt your own shit. So I think, like, personally, one of the things that I've been doing is literally blocking everybody out, like if it ain't on my like. I tell you about my schedule all the time. I say, if it's not on my schedule, if it's not a part of today's plan, it can't happen. Stick to the plan, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, definitely. I'm all for blocking in every sense mentally, physically, online, spiritually, emotionally. I mean, if you have to shut people out so you can stay focused, then that's priority for sure.
Speaker 2:I have no problem doing that and communicating that right like not just being like ghosts. You know I'm saying, but hey yo look yeah, I need some space deuces out. See you in a bit, but on the contrary. Why, though? Because there's a, there's expectations around friendship and relationships that we have to be willing to communicate when things are changing.
Speaker 3:Absolutely, and I agree with that. But also, too, what I'm saying, like I guess what my version right now is that why you know what I mean. Like, why am I putting you ahead of what I need to do right now? Because it may hinder a relationship. Because if the foundation was strong enough, you, my friend, would say she probably needs some time. Right now she's not acting how she would normally, how I know her to act, and if she is the person I know she's gonna be, she'll come back. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:I expect that from people too, like I shouldn't always have to explain to you what I'm doing, why I'm doing, why I'm doing it, because sometimes I just need to fucking do it yes, I get that, but if someone asks you and says, hey, you know, I'm noticing this, like is everything okay, saying not saying I'm fine and not being fine, and then ghosting, that's what I mean as far as like communication.
Speaker 3:I mean I and I understand that and I get that and in a nice world, like you know, in healthy communication but I also.
Speaker 2:This is what we strive for. We strive for that, but I want people to know, like, okay, so for example, my friend was talking to me over the phone.
Speaker 3:She was talking about her niece. Her niece is five years old, right, she's a she's a toddler and she's getting in her toddler mode but they come from like a caribbean family and, um, she, though her mom, felt like she was being disrespect. You know, the kid was being disrespectful and on her and she was trying to explain to like what's your feelings, like what's going on, because sometimes it is okay to just right now. I don't have to be nice. Why do I always have to be nice?
Speaker 3:why do I always have to be this. You know what I mean. It's okay when there's a healthy balance, but I I just think that, like the reason why people are so pent up and have so much anxiety, because people are making other people feel like their emotions or how they feel right. This moment is wrong because it affects them so strongly.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, I can see that perspective.
Speaker 1:I had a similar situation with a friend who I was FaceTiming. We were best friends since like high school and I was facetiming him just back to back to back for weeks and he just was not answering and I'm like I took it very personally. You know, and it goes back to what you said about you know, when you do have a long-term relationship, you have some type of expectation. Now, after like the 20th call, he was like oh um, I just need a mental health break right now, and then I see him continuing to do all the other things that he was doing online like having a ball yeah so I took it personally and I was like he can't be working on his mental health.
Speaker 1:He's outside, but people work on their mental health, how they work on the mental health. But he did eventually say something like give me something. And even at that point I was very upset.
Speaker 3:But, um, I'm a little older, a little wiser now and I'm like okay but he circled back he did tell me go back and he was struggling and it probably was hard for him to say it it is hard, and that's what people don't understand too, like people are dealing with their own demons, like to to have that much.
Speaker 3:And bringing that back to you know the subject. It's like when you have that emotional tie to somebody, they can really put you in a tug of war and really drop you off, like well, there's relationships or not? You got you, you worried about over this, over here, and there's a whole path over here for you, but you can't think straight. You know we're here for you, but you can't think straight, you know. And so like it is a healthy balance to try to find, you know, a happy medium between, like respecting people's opinions, their space, their feelings, but also trying not to have that trump your feelings and then make yourself feel guilty because you have those feelings, like those are your feelings, trust and believe they don't feel guilty.
Speaker 2:So I think there's like a level of like accountability, like, even if we use the example of your friend Porcelain, like if I'm calling you and we have a relationship and you are not there when I need you. The same level could be flipped back where, if you, if he needed you, were you willing to put your needs as Casey saying is not good over or under his and then be like, oh well, let me pick the phone up because you could have needed a mental health break.
Speaker 2:You could have been feeling some type of way. But now there's an opportunity for you to deepen your relationship. If you love this person or whether it doesn't matter what the content of the relationship is. If there's love there, there's opportunity to grow and support each other in that and I'm not talking about a trauma bond, I'm talking about actually being like hey, I see you, I recognize what you're going through. I don't you to experience it alone. I'm going through shit too. But let's find space to you know, just be a little more like emotionally aware and mature and willing to just be like.
Speaker 2:You could just text me space or you can just text me an empty text message and I know that means you don't want to talk right but it doesn't need to be this up in the air, where your, your anxiety is up here, because he just doesn't want to text you.
Speaker 1:I don't want to talk right now, right that's all I need, and I got a little petty and he came around and he started facetiming and I I definitely have not, even to this moment, answered. So just with your response I'm like all right, I'm going to FaceTime him when I leave, but I've been ignoring his FaceTimes and just responding to him on social media because that's what he was doing to me and I hope he's watching this podcast, right now I'm not going to say her name, but I'm going to FaceTime you tonight after this.
Speaker 1:But we are being petty and I love you.
Speaker 3:I'm definitely, but yeah.
Speaker 1:Look at this reconciliation. That's all it takes.
Speaker 3:She is on her reconciliation period. I'm still in my petty phase.
Speaker 2:Right and it's all good. I had a dude move to a whole other state.
Speaker 3:He came back to LA and going to hit me with a hey you you. I said what's up, let me tell you. I said we ain't been on no hey you term since you left. What are you talking about? Like, what are you talking about? So I'm gonna keep this the same way. I got stuff to do. I'll talk to you when I can. Just because you're in town doesn't mean I'm gonna drop everything that I'm doing, like you know what I mean. Man, I'm in petty season.
Speaker 3:I've been on one all day y'all gonna watch this episode. It's like, okay, let me tell y'all something Stop having people Play with y'all. Like I'm so tired, like I felt like I've been in a space when people just Trying to play with you Just poking the bear, poking the bear. Guess what? You woke the motherfucking bear up. She's up.
Speaker 1:Rawr bitch.
Speaker 3:Hibernation season over.
Speaker 1:She is woke.
Speaker 2:But that's what we were talking about earlier. Just like you know, that's what Scorpio season bring, Like all that like rebirth energy. That don't fuck with me. I'm out here and try me if you want to. You're going to get stunned, right.
Speaker 1:It's.
Speaker 2:Scorpio, like that's a scorpion, like that legit is what you're feeling. You're feeling that energy, so just lean into it.
Speaker 1:But you know, a little grace go a long way, I am not in a graceful period.
Speaker 2:Y'all are like the total opposite.
Speaker 3:I am not, and the crazy part is like I'm not really like this it's like on a normal. I'm chill I'm so chill. But today let me tell y'all something.
Speaker 2:Today and the winds got the wind.
Speaker 3:I just feel like I've had, like I've I've gotten rid of a lot of weight around me. I've cleared space, I've cleared energy and right now I would say it's the most clearest I've been thinking and feeling in a long time, like I don't have that same cloud over my head. And I was talking about like I did mad shit today. I got everything on my list done today. I'm here talking to y'all whoop, whoop, you know, and so like, yeah, the energy. So I'm, I'm, I'm sending some of that y'all way. I feel like I'm about to combust.
Speaker 2:I receive it, I receive it. I just I feel like sometimes I'm the person that's like always feeling that kind of like combustible way and I have to like put a cold towel over myself. Okay, calm down, ellen, calm down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do my breathing exercises because it's super important for me, because it can get out of hand. So if I don't want any little accidents to happen, I rebuke that.
Speaker 2:But I have to take breaths. Aries, okay, I'm a Leo, so I feel you, I feel it, yes, yes.
Speaker 3:Your breath? Did you breath with you? Is there like a place you like to go? I just stop wherever I am and breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth. Um, breathing in positivity, breathing out negativity, and um, what can we do? One together, breathing in positivity.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you're thinking whatever color that brings you happiness and light it could be a white light, it could be yellow light, whatever your favorite color is and then, when you're breathing out, it needs to be dark and smoky, because that's the energy that we're releasing, all right so first we're going to take our first breath, in through the nose, out through the mouth, together and release fuck that nigga breath number two into the nose, in through the nose Positivity, wealth, health, happiness, love, light, abundance, true love, respect and appreciation for one another.
Speaker 1:And we're going to breathe All the darkness out, and this is the one that counts In through the nose, hold and out. That's how you do that.
Speaker 3:Yes, good job. That felt great. Thank you, that felt great. Did you do it too success? That's what I'm talking about getting back to you finding the things that make you happy. Okay. So I'll ask this what is a weird thing that makes you happy? That a you don't want anybody to know or you do, but like by yourself, like you by yourself what's a weird habit?
Speaker 1:but it makes you extremely happy, oh my positive affirmations in the mirror um with but is that strange though, is it?
Speaker 3:no? No, it's not insecure girl I guess she brought it to the world. I'm talking about someone's life like nobody. I mean. You don't gotta tell me if you don't wanna let it out. I'm trying to think. I know a lot of people think.
Speaker 1:I'm weird because I have a lot of sticky notes all over my walls. Is there something that I do for myself or do to myself, just whatever makes you happy, okay.
Speaker 2:Oh man, I mean, I like popping pimples. That's the first thing that came to mind when you said that.
Speaker 3:First, of all I can't front.
Speaker 2:You said something that's weird.
Speaker 1:First of all, I mean it makes me happy.
Speaker 3:There's actually a fast time of mine, I mean anything gross like that. Okay, so one of the weird things I'm trying to. You asked me.
Speaker 1:No, no one of the weird things that like brings me.
Speaker 3:Like that doesn't make me happy, but I'm like yeah, got you Is when a fly gets caught in my blinds and I smash it.
Speaker 1:Hey, whatever works.
Speaker 3:And I'm like wiping up, it's like like it's inside.
Speaker 1:I'm like yeah, you should have got it here, cause that's my thing, don't?
Speaker 3:I hate flies Like cause you know they well, first of all, they would be okay, cause they know, here's the thing they they sit on the wall. If they stayed on the wall they'd be all right, and they want to be in my face, so now you gots to go.
Speaker 1:You have violated.
Speaker 3:Period Violation, like when mosquitoes bite you in the face.
Speaker 1:That is a violation. I've gotten one on my forehead. That's such a violation. It went right in.
Speaker 3:Wait, do you know the other one? When they bite you on the toe, will you bend that, yes, or?
Speaker 2:you get an ant bite. That'd be the one bite on your toe.
Speaker 3:let me tell you something these insects, man, these insects, anyway, we okay, I'm sorry what?
Speaker 1:is a cherished memory of you guys, like when you, when you think about it really brings you a lot of warmth I'm gonna say the family picture I took with my family because I was raised my dad wasn't in the house and after hurricane katrina he moved to atlanta and that's when we were not forced to build a relationship. We had opportunity to build a relationship in my adult years and I always wanted the perfect Christmas where we had all the family members there.
Speaker 1:So my dad actually came one year and we took a family photo and that's one of those like super precious moments for me, because I was able to just live out a child moment in adult life and I still have the picture to this day my hair was gray and crazy and I was a little rock star and the rest of my family's all perfect but we got the picture.
Speaker 3:She's like yeah, dude party on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's exactly how it looks a memory that brings me joy.
Speaker 3:Come on, you had time to think about it.
Speaker 2:You knew you was next. No, I've been thinking about it and I really had to dig. And that's kind of scary when you have to dig, okay. So I would say, oh, okay, being in Bali with my friends, okay, I'm sure we had a good time.
Speaker 1:We had a good time. We had a good time. Aw man, Whenever I'm out with my friends, even when we went to Houston, I just love going and hanging out with the besties having fun. Because we would be looking at everybody else, have fun and be like I love you.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, that's my moment. I'd be getting all sent, but that's fine, because it's okay.
Speaker 3:I would have to say family moments. For me, like my family, we used to do potlucks. Like my grandmother's house was like an open door policy and I think that's a big reason why I like to host, I like to cook a lot because, like, growing up we had potlucks every friday. We had like car parties, christmas and thanksgiving, like it was a big thing and people like you had the first family, like we had people coming through there all day, like my house was the place to be at and so like those bring me happy, like it brings back to like that inner child and it goes. You know, it's full circle like these things about like getting back to who you were, this thing that you remember, things that made you feel good, things that made you sad things that you recognize right because that also brings me back to that child like state where this is like I get giddy around certain holidays.
Speaker 3:I get giddy when, like, there's a family reunion or somebody's wedding. It's like yeah.
Speaker 2:I can have fun with my family, you know.
Speaker 3:But I also cherish those moments because my family is also very spread out in every different state.
Speaker 3:So it's that one occasion where everybody's there Like I remember my cousin, my baby's cousin, the reason why I miss Bali my baby's cousin. So I only have two first cousins. So we kind of like me, my brother, my sister and my two cousins. We kind of grew up like brothers and sisters and she's the youngest and she's the first person to get married. So I was like I can't miss this. Yeah, no, of course, yeah so, but when I got there, I hadn't seen one of my, my cousins since maybe I graduated high school and this is like I'm 35, this was like 18. When I saw her, I literally ran and jumped on her like that was my boo, like she's the babysitter.
Speaker 3:There's an older cousin she's the babysitters and everything, and I have not seen her and it was just so good. So those, those the kind of memories that make me happy like like fan warm family because we're so separated and we're not like necessarily super tight-knit, but when we get together.
Speaker 2:It's a, it's like. It's like y'all wasn't a million miles away. Yeah, mm-hmm.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Okay. So I feel like we all trying to be on our fitness journey and stuff like that oh yeah, Right, Working out Okay. So what was your general motive for it? Like a vain one? What for? Working out yeah.
Speaker 1:When I saw the last podcast, this podcast, that one, I saw things, and also in this new music video that that I'm in Shout out to Blake. She has a video. Hey, blake, you gotta come on the show, blake, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she said come on. Do you know who I'm talking about? I don't know, but I know a lot of people that know her.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, and I met her once.
Speaker 3:Through another friend. When we went to, we went to the Classic Cat. She had red hair at the time yeah, I met her briefly but like I always see her videos and something she just she brings so much light oh well, yeah, heck, yeah, okay, so I'll be putting that together.
Speaker 1:She definitely needs to come here. Um, but I was a security guard officer in her video and I, just when I saw my face, I was like I, I looked like I was expecting in the face so I'm like okay, not expecting in the face.
Speaker 3:you know, it looked like I was carrying I the face. So I'm like okay, oh not expecting in the face child.
Speaker 1:You know it looked like I was carrying. I'm like, okay, so we're going to start. I know exactly what we're going to do. You said a vain reason. So the last two times I saw myself on camera, I'm like, okay, yeah, so I've been consistent, that's good.
Speaker 3:That's good.
Speaker 2:Can we go?
Speaker 3:before you, but I've always had a little foo pop.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, I hate the way you say that You're a woman.
Speaker 1:I've always had a little foo pop.
Speaker 3:I want it to go away. I want it going so bad. I just really want it to go away.
Speaker 1:It's going to go away.
Speaker 3:No, it's going to go away, because now I'm in the mode that I'm going to make it go away. But it was just one of those things. I was athlete growing up so I never really had to worry about me working out or dancing like I never had to worry about it. Now I gotta worry about it and it's getting out there. And I was telling ellen before I said see, I can't do it. I only have a certain amount of level I can do because I don't have no ass and I'm about to be walking around with with a big old belly and then no ass like that shit looks weird, like at least like be even.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean. Like if you have some booty back there, you got a little room you know what I mean like no, it don't work. It don't work because that's my baby, my little poop out it is melting away girl. As we speak, as we speak, we eating good. That's the application. Let it go. Have y'all seen that one tiktok show it don't got nothing to do with me, fuck it. It don't got nothing to do with me, it don't got nothing to do, fuck it.
Speaker 2:I was like yo, that's not the funniest it's real so for me, I just wanna to look good Having sex.
Speaker 1:Definitely.
Speaker 2:There are parts of me that one day want to do like Record myself or like see what that looks like. But I've never been like 100% comfortable With every part of my body, so that once I get to that point, come on.
Speaker 1:That's so true. I have an opportunity to my body, so that once I get to that, point.
Speaker 2:Come on, we can Fuck it up, fuck it up, fuck it up From the back, from the side, all over.
Speaker 1:That's so true, I have an opportunity to have sex with someone I'm attracted to, but part of me not doing that which is actually working in my favor, because I want him to wait a lot longer is that I'm like ooh, I'm not all the way comfortable with how I look naked just standing, so let alone all these positions.
Speaker 3:Boozy face, I always know how I feel about my body when I'm having sex, depending on how dim the light is or not.
Speaker 1:For real, when I'm feeling myself.
Speaker 3:The light is on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that's, it's light on season. It's light on season, Like you know, like I'm so celibate.
Speaker 3:It might be me but if I'm like this, I look raggedy, but we trying to fuck.

Speaker 3:Definitely feel you on that. I feel you on that, well you know, sorry, I had to bring it up like that because I really, truly believe that I was like I really I really enjoy talking about this because, like just the laughter that ensues when you really start to figure out yourself right, and it's like you really, your parents really told us like you're not going to really know yourself until you know yourself Like you know. You think you know yourself right now, like you really do. Yeah, you might have reached 18.
Speaker 2:But you're like the woman I was when I was a teenager, as I am now. I was about to say the people who peak when they're teenagers accept themselves after that phase, so like. I don't think I peaked at 15, 16.
Speaker 3:I just peaked today.
Speaker 1:I still haven't peaked. I'm not even close to a peak.
Speaker 3:KC. I peaked today.
Speaker 1:Today is day one of forever.
Speaker 3:Y'all stay on notice, I'm not playing with y'all, don't play with me. But all in all, y'all know I like to leave A message on my show. This one was just more so For us to have fun and you know, really tap into that and also, too Like this is a feminine space, right.
Speaker 1:I love it. I love being here.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Jazz it Jazz all Okay.
Speaker 3:Shout it out, but like it's really a feminine space, and for me it's important to have just conversations. Not everything has to be this woe is me. It really can just be us talking and feeling good, and not only feeling good about ourselves but loving on one another, and so that's why it's been nice to mix up my friend groups and mix up places, because when y'all sit down on the couch, don't y'all feel like friends See?
Speaker 1:I've been real. Personally, I feel like friends stalking is real, y'all yeah it's like bruh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 3:I do got one more thing before we wrap this up. One of the the things about protecting your peace getting back to you is protecting your motherfucking peace, and Insta-stalking is real, dude. I purposely leave people on scene so I can show you that I'm looking at it and still not responding. How many of those do you need?
Speaker 2:Don't talk to me. Don't talk to me.
Speaker 3:I feel like blocking you is too easy. I want you to know. I seen this message. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wish I had a T on it. You know what you?
Speaker 2:can do the vanish mode. It's when you scroll up too many times, when you miss. Basically, any message that you see after you turn vanish mode on goes away once you close the messenger. Oh, that's that sneaky shit well it's if you want to have a conversation with somebody but you don't really want to have a conversation with them so that could be. I see your message, but I got you on vanish mode. Don't talk to me and then that's it. Once you close it, it's done right, right.
Speaker 3:Well, all in all, I really enjoyed today's episode. Thank you thank you.
Speaker 2:Thank you. Thank you, ellen. You're welcome, my dear.
Speaker 3:Thank you, porcelain, but y'all know I like to leave a message at the end of my shows, and what would you guys say to the people out there, or maybe to your younger self, about being able to tap in and getting back to who you are and why that's important?
Speaker 2:Okay, it's okay. Take your time, time the things that bring you joy are the things that make you feel like warm and fuzzy on the inside. So whatever that is for you, lean into it.
Speaker 1:As long as it's healthy and safe, you're not hurting yourself or nobody else, keep doing it what I would tell my younger self I'm thinking about the 17 year old who wanted it all is Keep going till you hit the dirt, don't stop for anybody, and no more breaks Like what we said we're going to do. We're going to do it, we're going to enjoy it and you'll be a success because you kept going. So that's my word of the day.
Speaker 3:Okay, so my word of the day is unleash that motherfucking beast. And this is like y'all. I know this is not me.
Speaker 2:Y'all said you said Gemini energy.
Speaker 1:But I really feel like you have to unlock.
Speaker 3:Unlock your beast, because here's the thing the world is waiting for you, it is set up for you to succeed and you have to make the choice. People think that it's going to just be handed to you, it's going to be rolled out. People are broke, hungry and tired, trying to make their dreams happen.
Speaker 3:And for those who also have to recognize when you do have a little bit of advantage don't waste that advantage, because there's people out there that are really struggling to get what they need to get done. So unlock that beach, stay in your stride, be the best you can be and protect your peace.
