You look good.
Speaker 2You do too, Thank you?
Speaker 1What what are you talking about?
Speaker 3You look good in real life?
Speaker 1Everybody, Hello, Hello.
Speaker 3Down your show before, I know, And I'm mad that we're doing it now because I have you for what like ten to fifteen minutes, so we gotta come do the real thing.
I need you in the chair, me too, because there's so much about your life that I find so fascinating.
Speaker 1And the way.
Speaker 3You the ebbs and flows, you go, you keep getting back up and you keep finding new ways and.
Speaker 1You know what I mean.
Speaker 3And I just and it's not it's not always easy, I'm sure, and I think there's probably so many lessons in that that I can't wait till.
Speaker 1I can't wait.
Speaker 2And so I got a book and that's coming out a perfect and I put it all in.
Speaker 3The Book's gonna blow your mind.
When does that come?
Speaker 2I don't know, I think extra all right, Well, well I just turned it in.
I'm really proud of myself.
And two years to write.
Speaker 1I did a book, so I know how long.
Speaker 3It takes and I know how I mean, you're pretty transparent and open.
Speaker 2No, this is a different level.
So this is like the things that I don't talk about.
Speaker 3Are there are things things because it seems from the outside, well, I do a lot of protecting and then I do a lot.
Speaker 1I take a lot of bullets.
And that was.
Speaker 2Okay for that time, but you know, sometimes you have to kind of is that season over?
Speaker 1Yes it is.
I love that for you.
I love that for me too.
Is it free?
Speaker 2It's very much freeing.
It's amazing for my mental health.
And it just had to be done.
And this is not me telling or spilling the beans.
It's just setting myself free.
Speaker 3And what is the number one thing you Because when you write your old when you always tell you after I did my book, I told her because mine was like eight years ago, but I told everybody should write their own like book or memoir because it forces you to look at your whole life.
Speaker 1And then you see, even.
Speaker 3If you never put it out, even if you're for yourself, like, look at your life.
Speaker 1I agree with that, cause you see things that you did.
Oh I did that.
Speaker 3It's the same thing so many times you just start seeing it from up above.
Speaker 1Yeah, and you learn something you do, you know.
Speaker 2I tell a lot of stories, but I also take a lot of accountability as well, and that's really kind of what it's about.
It's like your lessons and then what did you do?
What did you about yourself at that time?
You learned about yourself in general?
Oh, I learned that it's okay to show up as me and whatever I have to give for that day.
You know, I'm just saying, and my I know that day it's okay to say no.
Speaker 1And I don't know.
Speaker 2I'm just very into showing up as my best self and protecting my mental health at all costs because I have a twelve year old son and if I'm not present for him, then I've completely let him down.
Speaker 1What is the number one way you do that.
Speaker 2I'm in therapy a few times a week.
It's a good place to start a few times a week, a few times a week, and I have the Holy Ghost and I have no I'm serious.
I think people think that's funny, but the truth is that is the perfect cocktail, because I have found one does not work without the others.
It doesn't, it doesn't, but together together, it's a thing.
Speaker 1It's a cocktail.
Is in church.
Speaker 2I don't know about church just my whole day because I don't.
I'm a person that don't go to church.
You know, it's not about religion either.
It's not a relationship.
It's about relationship with him.
And I didn't find that until a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1How is that.
Speaker 3Possible because you've always said you've always spoken about.
Speaker 2Well, that's what I thought that he should be, or thought that it was through the teachings of my family and through church.
But I didn't really get to know him from myself until a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1What happened.
Speaker 2I was in the shower and I was praying, and you know how like you just like genuinely pray whatever, And I was praying and I just had a moment and he was there.
Speaker 1What do you mean?
I'm under stand with that.
Speaker 2Tell me Okay, So if you've never experienced it, you'll feel his energy as if.
Speaker 1He was in the shower.
Wow.
Speaker 2And I can hear him very clearless if you're talking right now, no way, no serious.
Is it like a voice or is it like a It's it's like you're talking to me.
It was like till I don't do that.
Speaker 1Stop.
Oh, You're ridiculous.
And it's funny because a lot of I don't think I'm weird.
I'm I'm a boss.
No, I'm just trying to tap it.
I'm just trying to so it's almost like okay, so let me just give it to you like this.
Speaker 2You know how, it's the same God that we serve in Spanish and in English.
And if you're in Spanish, you can hear the word of God and you can understand Him speak to you in Spanish.
I can understand him speak to me and take Martian, so you get what I'm saying.
Speaker 3I do get what you're saying, because I think everybody's connection with God is their own, and so like I know when I'm doing the right thing because I have a system, okay to me, like if I say, if I'm talking about the color pink all day and then I come in this pink classes right here, I'm like, God, I see it like if I'm aligned, and those things happen when I'm aligned and doing what I.
Speaker 1Was supposed to be.
Speaker 3That happens all day every day.
I take that as little like okay, in a little right path.
So that's just like a language that I've developed for myself.
So when you say that, I'm not looking at you crazy.
I'm just trying to understand what your language is like what you say you hear, but you don't hear a voice like an actual voice.
Speaker 1Yeah, I can hear it.
I don't understand that.
That's what that's the part I'm trying.
Oh, I can't hear it very clear, like an actual voice.
Yes, just a God's voice today.
Who was I talking to?
Was it Sierra?
Speaker 3I asked Sierra about what God would say to her, and she did this deep voice and I was like, well, what is that?
And that's how she I think here's God's voice.
Everybody hears something different.
I believe he talked to her too.
Speaker 1To Sierra, Oh for sure.
Why because she's figured it out.
It's not about her husband and it's not about her children.
It's about you.
Speaker 2Can you can tell her walk it's real, you know what I mean?
And you can tell by the decisions that she makes and the way she talks.
Speaker 1Yeah, I want to know more about that.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1God knows his people.
I mean the people know.
The people will go.
How do you tap?
Like I know you were saying you were praying in that moment.
Why did it.
Speaker 3Happen in that moment?
Why was what was going on you?
Why do you think he chose that moment to conn't.
Speaker 2But this was right after do you remember the whole suicide attempting all of that.
Speaker 1So I'm gonna give you a quick story.
Speaker 2So I moved into this two point seven million dollar house and I did not have a job at the time.
I quit the Braxtons, my singing career.
This is like the pandemic.
No one knew what anybody was going to do in the entertainment space, right, And I didn't know how I got approved.
I didn't know how I got my down payment, although I did it right.
Speaker 1And I'm like, oh my God.
Speaker 2Like I'm a single mom, and I'm like, how am I going to figure all of these things out?
And God said, it's not for you to figure out if if you lean and depend on me, I will work it out.
And that is when my relationship with money changed.
With money, with money, money and God problem money and God.
Speaker 1But through him, my relationship with money changed.
And what does that break down my problem?
What do you mean?
It's not my problem, it's his problem.
Speaker 2And it always like it's more than enough, like I don't even stuff me happening or things come up be like well, how like let me know right now?
Speaker 1It's still like the.
Speaker 2Top five TikTok song.
And I wrote that song eleven years ago.
Speaker 1It's not my problem.
He got it, he got it.
Did you to worry about money a lot?
Speaker 2You know, I'm human and we're in an entertainment business, and a lot of people don't talk about the downside to the situation.
Speaker 1Everybody act like they're.
Speaker 2So rich, and everybody, even the people who are like I, can't be acting like they're so rich.
Speaker 1But they're still working.
They still work.
Speaker 2They're still working because the people of God need to work and things don't always look like what they see.
And when I tell you, ever since then, I don't worry about it.
Speaker 1I can't because it's not my problem.
I love that money is energy?
What else?
Energy?
What else?
Don't you worry about it anymore?
Oh?

You got me vulnerable.
I'm ready to go to New York.
Okay, okay, this is not for everybody in the room.
I don't worry about my heart anymore, Really, I don't.
It's not my problem either.
Did you used to worry about it alive?
Speaker 2Oh?
Speaker 1My god?
Speaker 2Because I always thought that I was the person who always got their heart broken.
And now I don't worry about finding my person.
I don't worry about getting my heart broken.
I don't worry about getting in another relationship.
I don't worry about It's not my problem because I know God it's going to protect me.
It's going to protect my heart because I asked for protection over my heart.

Speaker 1Why do I found the life hack?

No, they're not, they're not nothing.
Scinned was crazy?
Speaker 2Okay, what of course this is mine?
What's a habit that you're proud of?
And what's the habit that you're trying to break?
Okay, okay, I have to do the break first.
The habit that I'm trying to break is that I love fast food so much.
Now I am a closet fast food driver person, Like like.
Speaker 1What are talking about?
Leg every week?
Like once a week, twice a week, four times a week.
Possibly I love a jack in a box.
I love it in and out.
I love the mcdowells, I love the wind.
It's not mcdowells.
You had a fish flace.
Speaker 2And I've actually always kind of been a fast fool girl.
And yeah, I'm trying to you know, I'm dig my back that way.
Speaker 1Yeah, and so what was the other one?
Trying to open it up?
What is a habit that I am proud of?
Discipline?
It's so tough.
It's tough.
Speaker 2So as much as I love it, I've been off of that narcotic for almost two weeks.
Speaker 1Now.
Wow, what fast food?
Wow?
Speaker 2Because my chin was down on my chest.
I gotta figure something out.
And you got all these TV shows?
Now, these TVs, well, I've recorded them.
But you know, you're extra hot when you extra think.
Speaker 1So I'm a little hot.
So I had to let that go to discipline.
Two weeks is great, it's good.
All right, Let's do one more.
Let's do one more.
I don't know why.
I feel like there's one in there that's like for really for you.
I'll let you pick it.
Let's say this one.
Oh, I love this for you.
Speaker 3If God were to text you right now, what would he say?
Speaker 2Oh oh, he would say, I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I feel like I had a test earlier this week that I passed and normally I would not, and I had to think about my end goal, and my end goal became more important than a moment.
Speaker 1Hmmm.

Does he use an emoji this one?
Yes?
Finally you got it?
What does that mean when something tests you or you're being tested?
Were you tested?
The girl?

Speaker 1Is it?
No?
Problem?
Is never?
Speaker 3Man?
Speaker 1Is it?
Speaker 2Like?
Speaker 1Just like our like?
What is it?
I'm feeling like I have to defend myself.
Speaker 2That comes from me being the youngest of my family and always feeling like I don't have anyone to speak.
Speaker 1Up for me, So I got to do it myself.
I don't.
He said, let me do it.
I validate you.
I can do it better than you, and he.
Speaker 2Does, because when I speak up, it goes viral and I'm problematic, and so I just let him handle it and not keep it moving.
Speaker 3But you've been doing that a certain way for so many years.
That is probably sometimes you like.
Speaker 2Yeah, because I'm comfortable in it right, and you're waiting for somebody to be like, yes, girl, because this is what really happened.
Speaker 1And so now I just be like, okay, y'all talk.
I love this season for you.

It's such a better place to be, you know.
