Becoming A New Version of You

And I do this with inspirational insights and conversations with celebrities and everyday people like you and me, Because if you want to be better and you want to do better, then you're going to have to be able to see better. So join me on this journey of living our best lives and understanding and realizing how you are your greatest stats at oh Man, I can learn this STU here today. And it just got real heavy heavy because, Um, I

learned of another person whose husband suddenly died. And when I say suddenly, I'm saying, um, I learned of sudden. One was a high school friend. Uh found her husband unconscious. Another, Uh, somebody just in the entertainment realm. I'm not sure what happened. But learning that there has been any young gage and died, and it just makes me think, like, you gotta live

your life on purpose and for a purpose. And I know I say that all the time, but it's just like when you realize how short time is, when you realize how each day, in every hour, and every minute and every second of a day is a blessing. Who are you not to live full out? They say live full and die empty? Right, So I was heavy, and I'm thinking like, I'm about to come in like with that, and I'm just like, and I think about it, it's like one to come in with inspiration and motivation and

and be uplifting. It doesn't mean that bad things don't happen, but I think it's also recognizing those things and and and seeing how those things emerge with the good things. Because they say it's rain and every rainbow. You may have heard me said before I asked I have to grow and it started raining. You know, there is a night in a day. I like there to think there's a dusk to my dawn. So that was on my heart and I guess I'm already heavy anyway. Because my homegirl, Shelly,

she moving across the country. She moving all the way to the d MV area up into Virginia. I don't know, man, that's hitting me a little something. I'd say it's hit me because I really said that as far as being in l A. That's one of my closest friends. Like that's the homie. Like you know how you got those friends that got your back, those friends that that that hold you down, that you know that they are for you man and uh he recently we had a whole

celebration celebrating her going away and it was beautiful. It was it was it was really it was a really it was a great event and it really was a testament of you know, was something that's or doing how things organically work. And for me during that time, I was up there meditating on my own my throat chakra and the throat shocker is all about expression and getting things out and expressing yourself and knowing that um, what you say matters and being intentional about what you say.

And what I like to think too, when we think about the throat, we think just verbal communication, but I like to also think that when we think about the throat shocker, that is just communication in general, just expression overall, and for me, I'm working on that because I'm here with you and I want to make sure I show up as done in every aspect of what I say, what I do, how I address who I would think, because we're gonna be here for a long time and

I want to stablish over pool with you. Get your right mndy right with me and get excited about That's why I'm so deeply into my meditation and how it feels and and what is doing for me, like the running and everything. And I say that because we had to. We're getting ready to go to UM to Shelly send off. And so the first night we went ahead and we had karaoke, and I love the look I was given.

I had given like this, have the jeans on with the blue top, with the black hat, and you know my blond locks, which are giving me everything I needed life even more. And so even talking about the realms of expression, I was like, you know, I want to switch it up for the all white day, and I like to think that I gave like a Zaddie look. And you know, it was really great because as I think about, and I was telling you before about her life is so short and how you have to live

full and die empty. I was eating up Shelly and I was like, girl, I think I'm about to pull a different look. I was like, you know, doing something different, and she was like, well, do what you wanna do. And again that's a testament when you surround yourself with the right people, how you can show up as yourself. And um, for me, I think is everything is about expression. I looked at as a the throat shocker of just what the dimension of what how I want to show

up as? And I guess I gotta challenge you to think about how you want to show up. And when I say I killed this look, oh my gosh, it was like all old men, all white, had to fuldore. I had the glasses at the sneakers and I have to say this, I've never felt more sexy in my life. And it was to the point like men and women were getting in. It was crazy. And I think the beauty of that. And I want to really get this out because we realize how short time is that you

gotta show up as you. You gotta show up as you so that God can do whatever that work is. Now, whether that work looks like something that's religious, or spiritual or some type of healing, whatever it is, I like to call like your song, to make sure your song

can be authentically heard. And just in my meditation process of understanding what God is and who God is, understanding that God is the truth and the light in the way, and if God exists in each and whenever wanted of us, we gotta show up in our truth and in our life. And you realize that it is exceedingly and beyond and whatever this mindset of what you think it looks like and what it's supposed to be, that's not necessarily case.

And it was so great to show up as Dawn or a dimension of Dawn, completely comfortable, completely sexy, and completely me. And I guess I really wanted to make that point is because I am entering or not. I don't know entering, I'm delving in to a dawn that not a dawn, but revealing I don't know. I don't know yet, But what I'm saying is that it was great to authentically show up as me. It was great

to have a friend to say supporting that. And when you look at how short life is and how many people do not show up, how many people can't do things, whether they feel like they aren't tall enough or strong enough, they don't have the right body type. And it's like, all you gotta do is be you. I mean, that's what the gift flies. And as I was thinking about um or meditating on my throat chakra, and I realized the expression of what that is is out how we

have these gifts inside of us? Right, God places the gifts. And the thing that's so interesting about the word is saying like you don't have to reveal, you don't have to peel up. You are just who you are. So when you get into a realm of you can stop up who you are. There's clearity, there's peace, there's truth, there's life. It gives you the ability to shine. And I just need you to be you because people are

losing their lives. And I even debate. I was like, what am I gonna come in here and talk about? What am I going to talk about with you today? Because I'm like, do you want to just hear about my life and things that are going on? Do you want to be inspired? Do you want to hear about the news? And I sat there and I was looking at some posts and it's like people need to be encouraged, and sometimes it's encouraged. You're just standing in your truth.

Standing in whatever is an expression of you. I can't strive and I can't stress that enough. It was to the point my home girl mind say, I love her to death. She's the whole girl like she was. She she she's down for the right of a dead podcast. She hit me, like, girl, I heard what she was saying, so she hit me up. She left these voices though. She was like, so, girl, I feel like I want to tell you this, but I want you to take it the right way. And I'm like, girl, so it's

like three notes right. She's like, uh, but what is this look you're giving? You giving adrogynous or ambiguous? UM. I was just wondering, you know, what is this you're given? Is this a new things there? I laughed and I had to call him back and I'm like, no, it's not.

It's always with me like I I was actually on a height today with a producer friend and we were just talking about what it means to show up authentically as you show up in your light and looking at people who have had the courage to be who they are. You know what I'm saying, living their life on the limit.

In fact, when I came in the studio, I had just wrote a quick dose and it was a titled the song Crazy with Norags Barkley A K. C. Low and he was talking about how he must be crazy and how every person that he considered his hero when he was young lived their lives out on the limb. And when you think about living your life on the limb, that's no control, right, You're freely just doing what you want to do without anybody trying to sustain you, of

telling you how to do you. And he was saying how that's everything that he's admired, and I'm a I'm a person is saying how you do anything, that's how you do everything. And I want to make sure I show up as me and as Dawn that you may get you know, girly doing you may get a drawings Dawn. You know that's that's the colors that I think that faced with that, And I laughed because for her it

was a new thing. But I can recall when I was younger, I was a tomboy at and what was I You know, sometimes I think I'm like, you know, I wonder if it was a tomboy stage, because as I am loving on myself and working out and working on putting the right food in my body, I'm seeing my body um form in different ways. But being a plus I girl, you're not really you know, feeling your

body like that. Let's just be honest, and it's it doesn't feel good to have to go to Elaine Brian or actually Stewart or being Lord and Taylor and be having the suits for Easter with the big old shoulder paths and stuff, having to wear grown people calls and therefore even wearing a dress. Not want of your stumpad to be out, you know. And so I don't know if I found comfort of just wearing jeans, sneakers or shirts or whatever. So it was just good to step

into myself. It was good to um to do that, and I just felt fine as hell. I mean, it was so ridiculous. I was getting on the elevator. The minute I got out the car. This guy was staring at me so hard on the elevator. He couldn't even say. He was just like wow, that for Dora that He was like, I hope you don't mind if I just stare at you. It was Mom's like, what's your name?

How are you doing? Um? Even in the bathroom girls are like, oh my gosh, I love you fit, And it was like, wow, imagine how pay people love you when you show up as you m hm, because people are dying. I just told you two people that died, and you know, sometimes it seems like a new thing to other people, but staying true. And I guess I was also and I'm going everywhere because I'm just getting

it all out. As I was talking about my hike with my producer friend and she was just saying how I was interesting that a lot of people can have apprehension about showing up whose they are, whether we're talking about you smoke and whether we're talking about you getting high, whether we're talking about you getting drunk, just being who

you are. And I was saying, how somebody that I absolutely admire is like how Cardi B has always shown up and because of her ability to show up as she is in any other room, she has had her seat, the table, she has had it with, the tables have turned, she has walked in rooms that any people would have struck her out. But the difference is is that she never sold you anything different. She never sold you anything of a poster of what Cardi B was supposed to

look like. She showed up as who she is. And I think we have the discernment, we have the ability to say how much we want to show up or what we want to choose to reveal ourselves. But let it just be of truth. That's all I say. I'm not saying you gotta be but naked, but let's not have a filter. If it's something you put out, there is something you don't, but just show up in truth, because it's amazing what can happen when you decide to show up and shine. It's like you give other people

the permission to shine. I mean, I just want you to shine. UM. So I just wanted to say that because I was just dope that I gave myself permission to do that. And so now I have, um moved onto my third eyes chakra and that's just following my intuition. And it's interesting because I can start to feel things and things are coming my way and I'm excited about that. Um, I'm excited about what this dawn is coming into fruition and about to evolve under and I want that for you.

And I know that, um just as a sidebar a lot of people going through some things. It's some crazy stuff. I think it's about to go down, or it already is going down. But I want you to say hold on. I want you to look in the mirror and say to yourself, hold on. I need you to really tap into that faith, because it's just a faith the size of a mustancy. It's just a little little and if you could just have a little little for whatever you're going through, I promise it's going to be okay. You

just can't stop. And I need you to find a way that's gonna find your peace. Find your peace, whether that's you meditating, whether that's you journally, whether that's you're getting out on the track and you jogging. Clearly to things that I'm doing for my piece, what are you doing for yours? Get to a point where you not only get physically fit, but you can emotionally fit. That's what I'm working on because I'm taking it high and I'm taking it further, and I want you to have

the same with me. And I'm so um out there with posting everything I'm doing on social media, at doing day speaks everywhere because I want you to see this process that I'm going through. There was a meme I posted up on my ig story and it was of at least Neil as a McNeil or at least Neil but anyway you've seen her on set it off. She was on I'm trying to think of that movie with Denzel Washington and um it was a picture with his

side by side. One picture was her smiling and glowing and she was like, what people think healing looks like her. That's what the meme was there, and then the other was her traditional crying face, and it's what healing really

looks like, because that's what it is. Right now, I'm just wide open, I'm feeling everything, looking at myself, figuring out how I'm gonna engage with you on this podcast and keep it moving, but also walking and discovering my truth and what that looks like or basically uncoverned it for myself. And I feel like in life we uncover that every step of the way, and I just need you to be brave with that. I need you to walk in that. I need you to walk in your authenticity.

I need you to realize that when you ask God to grow, sometimes it will rain, but you need to rain because the rain is life. Right, and as long as you keep your eye on God, that's the light, right, the light in the way. And guess what, With the light in the way, there comes truth. And I think half the time we miss the truth because sometimes we aren't communisticating with ourselves like we need to. We up

here so busy telling lies. And that's another thing interesting when you're communicating with somebody, How can you expect the truth from somebody who can't even be honest with themselves? M hm. I just need you to catch it, and I just need you to receive it, and I need you to catch it. And whether or not you're being honest with yourself, and again, honest with yourself is spending time with yourself. Being honest with yourself is taking time

to meditate with yourself. Being honest with yourself is taking time to see yourself. Being honest with yourself is taking time to receive yourself. Did you catch it? That's what I need you to do. It's a lot going on out here. And if you're so busy that you can't even accept yourself, how the hell, you're gonna deal with everything else that's going on. You better check yourself before you rack yourself. You better see yourself before you deceive yourself,

and you better receive yourself. Yeah, we got to right. We're gonna die anyway. And I want to say another thing. Don't get caught up in what you see. You gotta remain with the vision. So whatever it is that you want, don't let what you get caught up in what you see discourage you. You gotta remind yourself that greater is coming. You gotta remind yourself for the promise that's on your life. You're still here. It ain't over one step in front of the other. That's it. So what do you want?
