Okay don’t be afraid to throw that a little bit in there Try H man go girl that’s Right [Applause] A N [Applause] Hi thank you guys for stepping into our room and our space we are celebrating New Year’s and it is going to be lovely I am your host coffee Ean of course you guys have been following me and this is our special with but first coffee so ladies ladies
Ladies the 2023 year is ending and we made [Applause] it I this has always been a burning question you know everybody like ladies can’t get together we can’t do business together how are we celebrating each other so do you have did you have like an empowering moment
This year that just stood out and said you know what this is what’s bringing me through it’s going it’s going to bring me through I mean lately I’ve been hit with positive women um earlier this year we got to see the the the premiere of The Color Purple and I thought that was
Just like I mean I laughed I cried I’m like woo when did we get here like how did we become adults so fast did we all drop that Meme that said adult te I want to refund or ghetto So Hood this is ghetto this is the worst I’ve ever
Expc I don’t want to be here daily like I know you thought that was an idea but like run that back what’s amazing to me is how when you’re younger you cannot wait to you want to do everything you want to do you don’t want nobody to tell you to do but
Then when you’re an adult it’s like if I could go back no we were clear we were clear that we didn’t want nobody telling us what to do we didn’t want to pay bills see that whats and the responsibility of having a function in society I still don’t want
Nobody tell me what to do but I don’t want the bills that come with the responsibility fre so your question was the empowering moment so like did you have somebody come rescue you and say you know we women I got you like what was that I had
A couple of those moments um with you know just kind of going through some situations I feel like I was by myself but out of the blue like I had women that came and supported me and helped me through it talk me through it you know
Them late night phone calls or them long phone calls that you don’t want to have no they were there they were that listening ear so you know I it was a good year in that moment in that season well I would say honestly uh being an inspirational singer I’m often
Encouraging everybody else right that’s what I do from from my children all the way up to the rest of the family to the world right but uh it’s kind of hard to find that inspiration or that encouragement within yourself for yourself you know but let me tell you where I did find it
At I was listening to a video that ice cube had put out and his statement was and this encouraged me to the max he said if you’re doing anything and you’re doing it within yourself your own business whatever it is you should not look for a return not
Even a penny until the fifth year after that fifth year is over then you can begin to reap he said that’s when everything happened cuz you didn’t put it in the hard work and that thing resonated and I said we did I release my that’s the [Applause] thank you ice
Cute I’m to attach that video inspiration is like um when people make those posts so like that is like the upside to me of like having a social media especially if you don’t have your girls with you in the state you live in you find yourself like like man let me
See if they doing okay what they supposed to okay they made it through let me just uh keep my mouth shut and make it through today too because you just never know what’s going on and it’s all about building relationships so how do you keep your relationship strong if we’re
Always busy running around one of the things for me is um I’m full-time entrepreneur and it has been very hard and I’ve been very blessed though because I have stability in my household so I’m able to pursue these things and so in that particular instance I get to
Own my time and because I have ownership of my time I can choose to dedicate it to various different spaces and so as I do have a lot of entrepreneur friends and also friends that work 9 to5 I can adjust my time to fit in with where they
Have availability and it’s been really great and being able to also um reflect on what my needs are but also ask them what their needs are and be okay with some people just don’t have time for you being okay with that’s called that’s Freedom like have it and [Applause]
That’s but in that same those friends have to understand they have to you and your time and what you’re doing so if they can’t understand that then they’re not really being a friend and that’s on the verge of being selfish it is but also you have to realize people
Sometimes can’t come outside of themselves true so your struggle and their struggle I can’t even see you cuz I I’m not even acknowledged my own but I know I have them and so in this journey even with who I’m I’m being really particular about who my encouragement
System is because if you living out of your fear you can’t tell me about you can’t discourage me from being in my so what are we doing what are we doing when I’m sitting here like oh I’m running this this business this business and I
Want to profit here and I want to buy and do all these things you can’t compute that because it doesn’t make sense for you that’s not your modality so my friendships that I have I do understand there are limitations sometimes you cannot come in this room because you can’t exist here yet because
You don’t want to either part right right you have to you have to want to be we show up every day because we choose to show up we don’t get to say oh cuz we feel uncomfortable by saying stag we are the people that sit here and be like oh
My God if I see this one more time or I got fix that thing and um oh I got to make this next goal those things trigger us unlike some people they’re okay with existing in the way that they exist we don’t have to be an entrepreneur you don’t have to be a
Creative to find your own Freedom we just choose to do it this way yeah I don’t even mind though if my friends are not entrepreneurs my thing is always that check in if you it takes you literally two seconds you could be on the toilet you cool how you doing you good
It’s like it’s like sometimes I take a half an hour out of maybe a month and I’m texting everybody at one time because I’m like man I don’t have no time but you know they might just need a heart emoji s it’s like I didn’t cross your mind at all this [ __ ] like
[Applause] bro Tex Med you know you been busy so you made time it’s also creating a circle that makes time for you and I’m noticing now because I’m in a particular season where like I need people who are going to care and take time to check in with me I have a
Million things going on and I’m always check in for I’m smooth cool for a Tex like hey what you doing oh you cool okay let me go about my business but I I definitely want that reciprocation in friendship and business has also taught me that there are certain boundaries
Certain expectations that we all have in relationship and we also have to be in agreement that that we’re going to show up this particular checkin friends are the friends that people don’t check on Ever oh wow she’s so busy she’s So I have a friend who always hey I’m sorry to bother you would you Tex me text me assuming that you let me tell you but then if I answer the if I answer the phone that mean I made [Applause] time I acknowled Your
Existence so I I have to I I I get a little bit a little bit iny with the people who assume that you’re that you’re you know what I mean it’s like oh my goodness can you not do that but that’s that says a lot more about them than it does
About so how did you how do you keep those relationships live because a lot of us been ticking and talking for like a long time but you like man I’m choosing entrepreneurship this time so how did that work for you you know I will say this I am the person who
Checked on a lot of people but in these past couple years I have gone into overwhelm and so I very easily will have my head under the blanket because I’m just like this is too much and the people who know you they know and they
Understand so I will say that there is a space for grace for everybody because sometimes where you SE is not always where you’re going to reap you know and sometimes what happens is you know you can have a million things going on and it seems like nobody’s there and I’ve
Had this because I’ve had several businesses so the people who you expect to be there who you always show up for maybe they’re not available but then God will send somebody I had a young lady who I knew her for two days she came to my house she helped me put these bags
Together for a big event and I was doing and I was just like this is amazing because sometimes we have to temper our expectations we all have stuff going on and we don’t know what other people are going through and sometimes people don’t tell you everything that’s one the
Things we have to realize people go through relationship problems they go through health problems they go through family problems they suffer with depression we don’t know and so when we get to a place in our life where it’s just like you know getting outside of our head as you said and saying okay
This is not about me I don’t know what this person has going on or also knowing that when God drop somebody on your heart like maybe you’re going through something but it makes you feel good to reach out to check on somebody else because you’re like for whatever reason
I felt like I needed to reach out to you and so just knowing that sometimes just being selective about who that is because there are people and you’re like who will drain you who are like well let talk about me and it’s just like oh how how am I doing today you
Know about the same three like do you not hear your own self but also like why is this all of it all else I say all the time when people go through that whole motion of and they repeat and I’m like do she not realize we just talked about this last week well
In order to get some different results yeah you you got to do something different so within this situation I need you to figure out what you need to do different go ahead the one thing that I Cann understand is I can’t help it or I
Don’t I don’t want to be the one to teach somebody else how else are they going to learn like it’s sometimes it is your responsibility teach people how to treat you you have to treat you have to teach people how to treat you yeah you have to
As an individual because my thing is you’re not even giving you’re not even taking accountability that this person was a person for 30 or whatever years before they was in your season in your space now all of a sudden you like they should up you don’t even know you everybody is
Different every day depending on how they feeling and you have to change something wrong I see going things that me my girlfriend did uh during the pandemic we drew boundaries and talked amongst it with each other like this is what we’re going to have a safe word sometimes when
I call you the first thing we should do is say hi each other doing and doing don’t call me and just pour out so we came up with a safe for if I say that word hey I can’t internalize mine and yours today so let’s talk about something else and I
Just had one of these conversations like two days ago we like I call her like today I was I was PE she was like good morning I said do you have [Applause] capacity business I said look you yes or no I’m seconds she like walk I love that because sometimes you don’t
Know where your friend is at calling in the state of we had to do that because I’m very big on communication she was just like I’ll get over it I’m not that could determine how your day is going to how you feel for the rest of
The but also we have learned to not carry each other’s burdens like what I’m going through and what she’s going through they are separate things although we are in need to learn we in space together like I’m her brand manager and I help her with her business she helps mine and packaging
Some of my items those things can exist I do I do she do do far me but at the end of the day like I know when it comes to our personal lives we are constantly in motion with each other I cannot bottle up and get pissed about whatever you going through
And you got pass me I get the vent she get be like okay that has absolutely nothing to do with me a lot ofur I was just getting ready to say that you have to definitely agree to me so when do you decide to mature because some people I’m just saying
Because some people choose to it’s because because I’ve known you since daycare literally so it for us to grow into a space she may get used to me being a certain way and then one day I’m not and then you like oh I have to be this way around this first cuz that’s
What they your body just ticks into it well I have to say this I will honestly say the one thing that has helped me is knowing myself I have to know me and be honest with myself now my best friend over there my best friend she and I I’m going to use
That she has literally had to shut me down like you know cuz my world is in the Public’s eye so everybody feel like they have an opinion everybody want to uh impart their knowledge or this is what you should do you shouldn’t do that so it’s like I don’t have my inner
Circle is extremely small okay so I sometimes I am guilty I will call and she’ll be like hey girl she just sits so quiet are you listening to Me I didn’t even consider maybe she got something going on or whatever but I will say it definitely it it you can only change the situation when you recognize yourself change yourself you know mean in the that is the maturity right there we actually fell out we did
We fell out for a whole year you can fall out no we fell out for a whole year for B talk about our communication Styles we had to come together and say hey this communication style is how I operate this is how you operate now this
Is my hard boundary I need X you need X and that is our agreement and that’s how we walk this line of I’m not word vomiting on her I’m not showing up and spilling out into her space she’s not showing up and spilling out into my
Space and then we can keep the parallels working and now we like a smooth oil machine now it works but I think you have to agree toate and it was it was a choice to because like do you want a friendship that is helping you and like is going to
Support you moving forward in your next trajectory in your or do you want to continue the way that things are and if you find that yourself is complaining a lot like complaining a lot about like this isn’t working well what you going to change about it and I don’t I’m I’m
Not interested in continuing to like I will complain until the point of I can do something about this let me just shut up and like choice and it’s hard sometimes and it’s it doesn’t didn’t mean that it wasn’t difficult for us to come to that space
But it was like we can do this and it’s worth it when my light when my light flaked on I realized because I would hear it so much I’m getting used to people calling me hearing and then I was like look take the emotion out of it list
What you just told me would you let me go through that if you don’t cut it like how can you take the motion out of it because your emotion own this is a choice at this point if you’ve gone through it so long you’re choosing to
Still allow it to bother you now that ini part I get it can shock you you could cry you be happy sad but two three years you giveing me the same emotion on the same problem this that that becoming a choice at this part and then I wonder
You know you guys have mastered seem to be working on your friendship but do you work this hard at love no so um I can honestly say I do put time into the love life okay um in that area I’m really big on communication because if you can’t understand me I can’t
Understand you you know and vice versa and then if there’s a problem like we can’t talk about it because we don’t know how to talk to each other so right so I create those boundaries you know and I look for them to create those boundaries as well so that we are
On the same page like if we got a problem we talking about it before we lay our head down and then the next day that’s said yesterday like today a new day you know what are we going to achieve today so I’m I’m really big with that Conversation Piece love life okay
Yeah and I think that when she’s saying she doesn’t in relationship does anybody else able to manage their relationship the same way they can handle their friendships I definitely handle all of my relationships same same yeah I think one thing about it fundamental rule for me is communication we can’t go nowhere
We I can’t see [Applause] out there there is no intimacy here I cannot communicate with you and that’s the same for like my friendships and even like my my my family like I I have to be like that or else I’m not taking care of me and I think it’s it’s a
Healthy communication like you have to strive for that I’m not big on the theatrics of relationships you not to toxic me out I’m play G you Never I disappear like that you know [Applause] me master this kill of ghosting right I do very well because I’m going to remove myself I haven’t even entertain that I was married for 16 years and after that marriage it was like I think I’m going
To live the not the life L Asia once to live for a little while so now I will talk I will speak but but if your conversation cuz most of the time the first conversation is going to it’s going to show you what Angel say when people show you who they
Are the first conversation they will introduce and and then it’s like y I’m not I have a very to low tolerance for BS and uh lack of honesty because I don’t care what kind of relationship we in I should be able to be honest my truth you have to just accept it’s my
Truth and I have to accept your truth so if I say to you like hey I’m not interested in going out this weekend because I have too many things to do what you got to do me that see right there I’m done I’m done I’m not going to
Explain to you that what I have to do I just how can I help you what can I what can I help you with you know can I be service I was talking to this guy um it was so crazy and I had all these things going on I think sometimes when you’re
Working on things and people are not necessarily working on anything they get in their feelings you start working on things so then it’s just like if I feel that I wanted to spend time with somebody but they had things going on I would say well you know what I don’t
Have anything going on how can I come and be of Serv because this is time for me to get to know you to spend a day in your world to see what life the life that you live is like so I can have a better understanding
How can I be of service to you because at some point you’re going to reciprocate that to me and maybe want to see what’s going on with me or how you know we have to be able to compliment each other and I think that we all are
Living in such a selfish world it’s about me and when people don’t have the um emotional intelligence or the maturity you know that becomes an issue because it’s like no it’s going to be about you know you what are you talking about I have a real issue at the age I
Am with a guy who catches the attitude fast like not Center I don’t have to um be nice about anything I say you asked me a question I gave I gave you an answer so why is it why what what is the Snicker in and we having a regular and the fact
That you I have to tell you this is an adult conversation has [Applause] already yeah they are and you have you’re not entitled to my time to be here this is a privilege I don’t think I I honestly think it’s not all men I feel like because women who
Say they I’m not saying I’m not bashing women either people who say they’re empowered May over speak or direct the relationship that they’ve been in the past and if it’s in a director you have no you you can’t get in a word you have not let this person doesn’t even know
You and she’s like I’m in love with you you everything I want and you she couldn’t tell you what his favorite color was she just buying them stuff putting them in he just floating along cuz she cooking she has no idea who this man is she never ask opinion and so when
He jumps into a different relationship this just my opinion he jumps he like waiting on you to tell him what he supposed to do oh no bo boo I’m asking you how you feel and then you have an actual dialogue he’s back to seven year old whoever he is like experience
Intimidation as being a entrepreneur a businesswoman you have a conversation with a man and he instantly gets intimidated [Applause] sucess deflect and start or heck and try to Dow like why you doing this what you what makes you think you you you supposed to person anyway so I really
It’s like you everything after you find especially if you approach me and you know I’m a singer you know I travel a lot so if I give you the time and you get an attitude because I say well let’s schedule some time oh you need to schedule time [Applause]
Oh you when do you you got to go out of town again what would you like you don’t have to worry about thaty said in her song you add to me at what point are we going to stop and stop and actually look at our relationship as something to pour
Into and not just reap the benefits of I think it’s a mutually reciprocal relationship and it’s hard to find somebody who a understands the lifestyle being an entrepreneur creative in this space and always being busy but also like I’m choosing time to be here and
Show up with you how can you show up with me in a way that may not be opportune to you she said how can I help you if you too busy right now for us to go out and spend time together how can I help you at day still
Bonding oh no you have to get out being selfish but also we have to remember like we all have our traumas and certain things that happen can trigger other people and so we have to be you know be observant you know I in my older age in relationships or even in conversation
I talk a little bit less I listen my always used to say listen what do you talk and I’m like know that now at 4 years [Applause] old so easier now that you’re older and I think that’s life experience now that you’re older it’s like all of the things
You used to hear the the older folks it makes so how it’s making sense for us not everybody not everybody C said like cof said when do you decide to be when you’re tired of being in the state we didn’t say oh it looks like it’s my birthday time for maturity
You check you good I feel like if you have a person like say you had a friend and they haven’t hit the mature level you like I’m growing past this level maybe they’re a seasonal friend and you say hey you don’t want to leave them yet you
Say Hey you know is there anything you would like to do like is there anything you have’t explored do you have trouble you trying to dig deep just to do a check in y looks I know me you want to do a check in because maybe they not aware that they’re
Stagnant but and a lot of times they have to they have to and they have to be receptive you have go huge traumatic situation to change I think a lot of times um people are I can realiz it for myself so lesbian I’m also not monogamous which is a whole other
Thing I’m realizing is like attachment Styles and like how are you used to moving in relationships and so like I really will say that from what I noticed like I did Ed to dat man when I would dat man it’s just they used to be C and
So if you are continuously in a caregiving mode you’re always getting in relationships where someone’s kind of caring and you’re not necessarily on equal emotional labor footing there is a challenger it’s hard to actually get what you need um and find someone who’s actually going to step up to the plate
Because it’s also it’s uncomfortable like change is uncomfortable like become insecure in yourself is uncomfortable when you’re used to just being anxious all the time I know I have a very like anxious attachment style and I’ve really had to come into understanding of that especially being EIC monogamous and so
From that standpoint um it’s like oh how much am I allowing and how much am I getting upset about things that really ain’t got [ __ ] to do with me nothing to do with me and it’s because I’m trying to insert myself and I’m feeling entitled about things and
I’m used to like I got to no I I don’t have to people will show you who they are but do I want to see that and do I want to take the moment and step back and sit and be uncomfortable in that moment while they showing you
You got to learn I was like okay so when out of that time period of your life when did you decide to be you and be comfortable with you versus I’m uncomfortable because this person is squeezing me into this space when did you say this is my space and this is who
I am and you need to sprinkle yourself throughout there I’m constantly coming into that I’m constantly learning myself yes it’s me it’s just the journey out a destination so it’s like my life is continuing flowing as new obstacles come up I’m confronted with new traumas new triggers new everything else I know
Do with this okay and I can complain about it she know and then you know she finally have all me like get your [ __ ] together I have to sh my thought process and so am I necessarily change my situation but my thought process and my attitude toward the situation how you
React yeah how do you spark that how do you spark that change in your thought process because it’s all about your thought process so like she said the situation doesn’t change but you can choose how you choose to reacto so you only you you can only control yourself that’s true to pick you
Back up what she said about when they were saying to um grow when you grow it’s about when you want to hold the mirror when you got to look at yourself when you got to recognize your part in it and be accountable until you ready to
Do that I don’t feel like people are going to mature or grow but also like I started this process of um personal reflection in high school I had to take the labels off of people because you know we have family we have mothers all this sister’s friends and sometimes we
Can’t understand that they’re not that title first they’re not the title first they they’re showing up as a title now and so especially with my parents I love them dearly and we have grown in a relationship that works but for a while I had to see Mom as I’m not using real
Names mom as Susie and Dad as Phillip like we Cann notot exist in a way that made sense for us to be in a parent child dynamic sometimes you have to step outside of like you were you first so let me learn the person to be able to
Understand this now when I came to me personally sometimes you have to realize that everybody ain’t issue you walking around with baggage childhood trauma fears Your Shadow Self creeping in the corner like Goa like we have going on I at some point people take setting those boundaries too far
Because they take those traumas out into the world and expect everybody in the world to treat them but boundaries are not the world they for you you have to when you set a boundary it doesn’t matter if that person blow past that boundary or anything like that are you
Holding the value to yourself are you saying I stand 10 toes on this and I’m not moving and thank you I enjoyed our time who we have to part and I’m quick and cool I’m I’m a black queen out of your and I tell her she she doesn’t like
That about me cuz she be like I would and not remember her name I’m so quick with see youor and be like he was the only and I’m with you that me crazy because in my mind I look at it and this this is definitely a decision that you have to
Make within yourself right because you’re looking at somebody who was uh physically emotionally sexually abused my whole entire childhood so I made certain decisions to not give up right you know but when I say and when people come into my life I don’t have that oh I
Got to get away from them I got o i I can just vanish and this I can’t do that for me I have to let me see I’m going try once maybe twice let me see if I can help you see yourself so that you can
Change and grow and in that’s way that way I can feel good like okay I’ve done something to May my call but realize I’ve had I’ve had experiences where I tried to take and and and heal a situation to the point of overturn listen sometimes I I can’t take
You with sometimes I know for a fact you are not my keeping you were here for the season and just a reason and I can’t take you with me and so I have to be able to be okay to let you go because I’ll try to bring you into my next season Andely absolutely hates it like who are you talking about realizing and I started learning about um soul ties realizing this space that they were keeping youtify that do it instantly shut you down it don’t shut me down but it just you get a reflection of what happened in the past like man I
Could have had more time if I had DP that person fast you know what I mean you get but also you like oh I realize why I’m here you start having why I’m here moments I can’t fix nobody I can’t change nobody but I know what I need to do and when I
Start seeing my goals get further because I’m like oh I’m worried about how they feeling now I’m I’m conforming into what they can tolerate or handle and and so when you recognize that you don’t feel like when people do bad to you you don’t feel like they doing bad
To you yes they they really would probably treat anybody so with that being said choose the Health don’t mean to nobody he said you know n uh people that come into your life are going to do either one of three things they’re either going to stagnate
Your life where you can’t go forward or backwards they’re going to degrade you where your life is dropping and you’re like what is all this negativity around you that person is bring you down or they going to help you get to the level to the next level so when when people
Come in and and you know and they try to get into that inner circle that’s when that Knowledge from Mama and them kind of shut up you put in category you start listening walk away and you know because um one of the things that I’m doing for
This new year right I’m recreating My Lifestyle for what I want and what I’m going to have capacity for I’m not making any um alterations in June I’m not showing up differ in September the goal of mine is to really have the community that I want to have the time
That I want and to be able to invest it where I feel like I’m going to be nurtured and where I can nurture and water other people and sometimes in this space when you’re trying to launch it’s almost like a failure to launch because you got your mind 20 million places and
You don’t want to tell them no I can’t I don’t have time for you I don’t have space for you but realistically I really had to get real with okay you a caregiver so how do I actually schedule in the time and manage that so I can
Also be successful and where I want to actually pour my energy into I’m glad you said that so we are going into 2024 and but first coffee is about and we’re big on quotes um so I always want to know and curious on the quotes you use
To get through or what quotes you want to do so we don’t do resolutions um because I feel like your quote is constantly changing but seeing that it’s New Year’s Eve what quote can you ladies give me your pce that I got one so I have a board at home
That I change my quotes weekly on and the most recent one that I put on is uh said it’s the destination not the journey is what it’s about but don’t forget to learn along the what um you know it is um everything that’s going on outside of me is a
Reflection of what’s going on inside of me so when people start showing up in your life in a certain way or you experience certain things what is happening inside of me that this is reflecting and then what is it that I need to adjust curtail and whatever the
Case may be because a lot of times things come in our Liv to kind of hold up a mirror and be like okay girl you’re tripping like did not you did you did even if even if you never said it what’s in your heart how are you thinking how
Are you you know maneuvering you know what are you presenting to people and then figuring that out and then moving forward from there because it’s always going to start with me first so like my favorite quote is Wellness is an intimate continuous Journey we get to
