Going Global (Minisode)

it's all been a blur. Like I just I can't believe we're three years removed, almost three years removed from like the start of cod that nonsense. Yeah, we added that COVID is over. I mean, okay, it's not that so fast, but it's baby. We're about to do the champ Banks Yeah yeah, okay, So I want to know what is Robin going to be doing? Let the people hear it from you here first breaking news, d see. Okay, my she's gonna be playing with her hair first and foremost. Yeah,

That's what I'm doing right now. Okay, Like, honestly, I don't really know what my plans are um, but I can say just as far as like what I want to work on. I don't like to use I mean, okay, a resolution, and we're gonna use that word. Okay, what are my resolutions? What are my goals? Um? Number one is to pay more attention to my business embellish. Okay.

I love that because I have been kind of just running it, like almost like I've been letting it run itself, meaning like I don't do a lot of like marketing. I haven't posted on Instagram on my embellished Instagram page and over way over a year probably let me actually actually let me, let me push it up, I mean, let me pull it up. You know why. Um so I had I had a person doing my social media and then okay, so my last post yeah January twenty one,

of Okay, that's ridiculous. So it's been almost an entire year since I've posted on embellished page. Do you still have a business? Yes, I do. It just runs itself. I mean it's I have a business. I mean it's it's like steady, it's consistent. But I know that I can do so much more to really make it um you know, just like super fruitful. Um, so that would be you know, doing more social media, um, you know, more photoshoots, more marketing stuff, more email marketing, more text

message marketing, more product development, all of that. And so I really really really really want to like hone in and focus on my business. I love that because I have a great customer base, you know, and I need to just you know, we're gonna hold you to it, please do yes a matter of fact, pulst right now, No, not right now, no, I will. I know, and I need and I need to be better with social media in general. And that's the hard part. Like I I just you know, I've talked about social media and not

just because of like the trolls and the negativity. Like I just don't like social media period like for myself, Like I don't need to. I don't know, I don't I don't even I don't like to take pictures of myself period, right, But we gotta use social media for your advantage and it will help with your business for sure. That's been proven. Yeah yeah, I know, I know, but it is a hard thing for me because I just I don't necessarily even like to take a picture. So um. Secondly,

and this one. I know, like ninety five percent of the world has the same resolution, but I want to get in the best shape of my life. Like, okay, I'm going to do it with you. Yeah, okay, well, I mean you already work out, but so like for me, like I haven't been active. I have not worked out consistently in a very long time, which is you know, unlike me kind of um. One day I was working

out with my trainer. This was like literally before the pandemic, Like this, how long I have not been consistent because if it's been three years as a problem. Yeah, So, so I was in the gym and it was like, you know, we were like working hard, you know, lifting hard, trying to you know, build up my booty and you know, all this stuff whatever it was, and it was just like hard. You know what I mean. It's like, oh, it's like this is hard. And I was just like

it should not be this hard. Yes, that's what gets the results, I know, but it was just I just got frestrated. I was like this, I should not have to work this hard every day of my life. Good, well, you're good to feel good, thank you. I'm I'm very lucky. Like Honestly, I'm very lucky that I am in the you know, my my body is the way it is, not that it's good, Like I definitely have a high fat percentage and all that stuff. But I'm lucky that I'm not more out of shape or you know, fifty

pounds heavier because I don't really work out. So but I know that I was I was given an athletic body, and so I feel like I'm doing myself a disservice by not putting it into action, putting into action, like getting the most out of it. Once again, I'm Iran and we aren't here, Bob. Okay, so let's talk about recently Shade. We want recently Shady to like hit the ten million mark of like download, Yeah, because what do we We're at like four point five is right now? Yeah,

so we can hit ten million. And it took over two years, yes, but now we're popping. We are in double A c P. No nomenkees, honey. We almost had an image award. Honey. Well, you know you know how we would do that? How if we recorded more often? Yeah, we're not We're not doing that. Okay, moving on, we had multiple more than one episode a week. Yes, we're gonna go international. We're gonna have international because wait a minute, can we talk about this before? Yes, I want to

do that before before. You remember when we had that talk with Teddy Teddy Meilon Camp was no longer on Beverly Hills, Yes, uh, yes, and you remember where we were like, well, she's like, well, we have more downloads, and but they record more frequently. Yes, and so so she told us she had more downloads that I didn't get it. I was like, what are you talking about? And so then I said how often do you all record? And they were like twice a week, right, two or

three times? So they put out they yeah, they put out at least. She said they put out at least two episodes a week at least. So I was like, of course you do, girl, you're that I call that like um beating the system or like you're you're doing the most. No, it is what it is. It is. I don't know. It's it's like you can't it's not a true comparison. Yes, it's not apples and apples, yes, but whatever. Okay, So the Reasonably Shady is going to do international live shows. Yes, we have to go to

the UK. We're going to the UK. We're gonna tear London to Smithereens, Yes, for sure. So we're coming people. Um okay. So I have like some bittersweet things going on with me in so I have Grace graduating from high school, which is like whoo, and then I have her going to college, which is so happy for her. That's gonna be so hard, I know. So that's what's happened. So just bear with me. I'm sure there's gonna be

some episodes. I might be crying. I feel like, Okay, So when you were getting ready for college, yeah, did you feel like your parents cared that you were going away? No? Literally, my father was like pack your ship, let's now. I mean they were very matter of fact with me, like they were like, um, here you go, like going goodbye, Like let's get in the car, packaged off. But once once I got there and they were leaving me, they got upset. I could see them. My mother was boooing,

but my dad was kind of like choked up. Okay. I just I feel like even though I went to Maryland, which is like you know, University Maryland whis like forty five minutes from my parents house, so so I wasn't that far. But I just feel like even leading up to that, when I wasn't sure where I was going because I was choosing. You know, I had um Spellman, which is in Atlanta, on my list, and like University of Pittsburgh, I had different schools on my list that

were out of town. And I just don't remember my parents ever being like you are and being sad caring that I was gonna be going to college. It's a different day ever, like oh she's leaving, like it's it's okay. It's like, Okay, you're going to go to college and you're gonna do get your good grades. Yes, and you're not gonna you're gonna stay four years, not five because we're only paying for four. Intentionally, I intentionally I didn't take a few classes so I could stay four and

a half years. Yes, Okay, my father wasn't having it. We're also gonna blow Patreon out the water, guys, if y'all don't know we're on Patreon. Yes, and we love we love it because we get to I love our lives zooms that we have with our reasonably shady bunch. Yes, and I love, you know, just having that our little small circle of friends. Yeah, I love we I mean, we love talking to you guys on zoom and um, you know, we always give you like different on the Patreon.

We have all kinds of teath that we're spilling on the patreon. So definitely, um, get on the patreon. Oh and then we're going to do our small dinner parties. Yes, we will do our small We're gonna start that our meet and greets, just have a little so we can have a little more closer contact with our listeners because we appreciate you all so much. I don't know that

y'all know how much we appreciate you know, for sure. Um. And then for me personally, I have decided I'm gonna get I used to be all into it and then I like dropped off like you with the working out. It's me with my spot appointments. Okay, my massages and whatnot. It's coming back full throttle because my my back be hurting. Yeah, my neck hurts, my legs hurt, so I gotta get that back on. Do you ever go to a chiropractor? No, I probably should so I recently started. And you know,

I always always kind of had that like stig. You know, I don't know, it was always like Gary thought to me, but they do wonders and and really like so MIA's you know, Mia has the joint chiropractor practices, and those I think are more just general adjustments, which is fine or like you know, routine maintenance or whatever. But I think it is good to go to a chiropractor. You know that's like more of like a chira like a chiropractor's office like a doctor. Um, because they can really

assess like so much that's going on in your body. Um. Yeah, so I need that. It's really good, Like you literally walk out feeling like a new person, so loose and so much better. Like I take Corey there, oh nice, Yeah, because he's just you know a little rough on his body with um sports but um, but yeah, I think, okay, I'm gonna I'm like to add that in. But three is going to be all the way live amazing. Okay, so this is when you know I'm gonna do it now,

but Taylor is going to do it later. What do you do? That's amazing? I feel so motivated. So we want to encourage everybody to write down your wish list and like check back in every three months to make sure you're accomplishing everything on your wish list for this new year. I love it.
