Okay,

the volume. That's good. Happy New year. Dang, we way passed in the New Year. It's the Vitamin D Podcast. Chile. I bet you would wonder, you said, darn as you're coming back. I'm back. I was busy making my dreams come true. Wait a minute, let me rephrase that, because it's part of my dream too. This is my baby. Hey, I wouldn't be where I am right now if it wasn't for Vitamin Day. Vitamin dars me. Oh my gosh, I have so much to talk about. There's so much

on my mind, everything everywhere, all at once. That yeah, that's what I am feeling right now. It is. It is February nine. I am in my closet. I got two studios, not one, but two. One in Sherman Ox, California. One I'm in Monday through Friday at one six one North Libria in Inglewood, California. That's Mr wander Station k J l H. Yes, I am reporting to you out of my clause at here in Los Angeles, California. Now I almost said the addressed and I said, wait a minute,

hold out. Um. So, yeah, it was some time that we came back. In fact, this is the first time I feel like I took a break with Vitamin Day. And what I mean by that, I was just on the roll of just going going and trying to balance everything and everything that's new going on. I can't even remember we left off at the last episode, I think I had just announced that, Um, I'm over here at kjl AH host in the front page. Can you believe this?

And we haven't caught up to where we are now? Hey, I probably sound different than I do on past episodes because I'm doing it every day. What you say, you can't fail if you don't quit. If you fall down seven times, get up eight. If you can look up, you can get up. Your location is not your destination. Had I got caught up and thinking of myself at five any to St. Nicholas Avenue, underneath a comfort in Hall them or uptown New York, I wouldn't be whying

right now. If I had I got caught up thinking to myself, Oh my gosh, I am upset that I am underneath this confidence, I wouldn't be where I am. But look at me now, Look at me now. I wonder if I heard static. I don't know why I feel like I thought that. But anyway, UM, so here we are, happy New Year. We're claiming for abundance. Where do we want to begin? Um? Jesus, thank you guy? Can I say that real quick? Thank you God. I have just been in a mode of gratitude because they say,

gratitude is everything. The more grateful you are, the more things you have to be grateful for. So I gotta count it all jo like us. It's all working for my greater good right, So I'll say all that to same, everything everywhere, all that wants. You know, we really have to be mindful when we ask God for because we have to uh take in consideration whether or not we have the capacity to hold it heavy as the head

that wears the crown. First time I heard that was from Mr Harvey, and I never really thought about it until I really thought about it, because you see a crown elaborate. You know, hey, King, hey Queen, and and and for whatever reason, we have this this notion of

when we are you know, put our name. I don't want to say pedestal, but when we walk into a certain authority that it doesn't come with a certain stands in garden, not saying that it is inauthentic to who you are, but it means you carry more on your shoulders. So if you are walking in this royalty in which you are sitting at your throne because it's your seat, you realize that that crown that you bear is quite heavy, I mean, think about it. I mean, what kind of

gold is it? What mineral is it? Those diamonds, those rubies, mhm, sapphire, I don't know. I'm trying to think of the gyms and stuff. You know. I'm airy, so our birthstone is the diamonds. So I could just stopped there, honestly, but just think about it. I mean, all the others had color, and with that such a decadent crown. It is quite heavy because there's a certain level of consciousness that you have. You walk different because you see things differently. That's why

you are different and meant to be differently. So I say all that to say, um, I've been in the business of making my dreams come true job, been doing this show. I can't believe it. I think I'm now having a moment to really digest because I'm not in a moment like in Sherman Oaks doing a podcast. I'm like in the studio or in the production room trying to um get things out. I'm here where I started, right here in this closet, and so much has happened.

And on top of that, I think I just really lies right before I stepped in this clause at to talk to you. I'm like, I know, like you know, hormones going off, pms and or whatever, but I was like, I just felt like everything is happening so much in these feelings and emotions good not necessarily bad, but just different.

That's bringing up emotions that I can't really PenPoint. And when I opened up my laptop so I can hook up my devices so we can get this mike to talk to you to record this podcast episode, the calendar alarm came up and it had a President's Day. Now you're like doing what you're talking about? President's Day? What's the big thing about that? Well? What is it? Uh? Damn, it's been eleven years. Has it been a well, oh that's a shame. Yeah, it's eleven years. Oh my gosh,

it is eleven years. What am I talking about? Eleven years since my mother transitioned. And the reason why President's Day stands out so much to me, it's because it was the weekend that I said, Okay, I need to go home and check o my mamma. And I told you before that my mama transition from stage for a breast cancer Geneseelle contrast of soul Ah for me just being caught up in work, and my mother has always been just get through because she just keep pushing on

and keep keeping on. Well, at this moment, you know, I didn't even realize that, being so far away in New York, what was really happening in Detroit. But all I knew was was that I was going to go home for that weekend because I didn't have work on that Monday. So when I looked at my computer and the calendar notice came up for President's Day, I said, WHOA. And I'm thinking to myself, why I'm not consciously on my mind thinking about my mother's transition. It is unbelievable

that the PTSD that you can experience. I mean, it makes sense why everything was just everywhere all at once, and m maybe I didn't even think about it. I just I've been seeing that birthday pop up. They're just moving and cooling. Kept saying six or six, Um, I even just what was it? A week or so to go on the show. I've been saying, you know this woman at my job, she's the local sales manager. Her name is Cynthia Mayweather. And my producer needed to, um, well,

let's put it like this. I'm handling everything with the show and it's a lot. And so I was talking into my sales manager or local sales manager, and she says she didn't even get me wrong to really complaint, which I appreciate, she said, and he'lls ain't nothing to a stepper. And you know, I got on the radio, right and I was talking about that. And when I said it, I said that she said done. And I said I I literally said this all loud to the family. I said, first of all, she did not say dine.

I said, she said Dawn. I said, don It's something that my mom would say. And then I said, they probably was my mama. H thank you guys. Um, just tell me that just keep going to just keep going to it, didn't you know, isn't it so much? And I haven't talked to my sister in a couple of weeks because everything was cool annoying and I can, I

can do a better job at communicating and stuff. Oh might say that because she had her friend over and I really wanted to talk to her because it was so much cooling at work and I needed my sister. It's not her fault, um, but you know, her friend was there and I just felt like she was distracted. And you know, I'm very open, but I'm very private at the same time. I don't know if it's pride. I don't know what to call it. But it's like I sure so much, but it's only few that have

the piece a piece of me. I don't know how to explain it or where I can really let down my vulnerability. And maybe it's not just maybe when it's

fresh off, because I still give it to you. I mean, you hear me now and I'm sharing exactly what's happening right now, and I just felt so naked because you know, it sounds like pride, my my thing of you know, She's like, oh, you know, my sister is doing all this great stuff and I want to call her to tell her like, oh, I don't know, I'm confused, I'm scared. I just want to know what you think. In my brain and in the story that I create is that

you know, whoever she's around, you're gonna hear. And it's just like, I don't know. I don't like the way it feels. I don't know if it's right and wrong. It's just how I feel. So I didn't have the capacity to UM to communicate, which is not good because we have to learn how to communicate. UM. And then so therefore, because if so much, what's going on, like I want to call her back? And so now I feel like I'm feel like I'm in a better space

to communicate and digest everything. And it's like, you know, I don't know part of me I want to say, oh, it's not good to go that long, but you have to give yourself space too to operate the best way. And because everything everywhere, all that once is happening, it's like, oh my gosh to really build or not build or dissect or breakdown that. But I have to keep going. So that's that part. UM, So I got to hit her up, especially because what's happening now is the season

something that was so dramatic to both of us. And I don't know if she's feeling. If I'm feeling something, she has to too, So I have to really work on that because what's that about? What is that about? I'm grateful, I'm grateful that I have the capacity need to see where growth needs to be in that. So that's what happened in three A lot of magical things. UM,

and I say success, because that's there right there. You know, I would have just kept going on minute and just whatever, not that I wouldn't have addressed it, but I don't know if I would have really taken to time to see it within myself. So that's with that on that front. Now, us me and you us us, He'll Vitamin D. You know, I love me some my Jeremiah. You know, I work with transparency. I said, I'm gonna be big in an Oprah. See you better watch out what he's gonna be and

what he's gonna do. And you know he's been coming in um with me at kjl H and picking me up and we're recording and on certain days we'll head over to premiered with there and then you know, after we're done, he you know, works his job there. And I too, remember those days when I was his age, you know, getting up at three three thirty, um, not going bed to like twelve midnight the next day. When did you get up at three thirty again? Uh, I'm not saying this run along. I think I definitely learned.

You know, you ever, you know when you want to bring something great that it's just like I gotta stay in the game. So um, just like when anybody, you gotta take care of yourself. And just like I end on every episode of saying how you are your greatest asset. If you ain't good to yourself, you can't be good to nothing to you. And so he aspires and you like, no, you say it all this because I'm in the closet. He go here because I want him to be great and I want him to be able to use the

sermon to hear what's going on authentically. Maybe you have time here. I don't know how we're supposed to work and how he wants to produce and had this podcast network that we created. He will be hearing it before it goes there. Uh, so I'll say if he's comment on it, because that's how I'll know, because it's in the middle of it. Anyway, Uh, getting to a point of I gotta I gotta get this money so I can keep him on board because I can see it.

It took a minute to record that I'm supposed to get this earlier because I want to get it to Brian so he can edit it. I was like, you know what, we're gonna keep it raw. I had to go in the closet. So if the static give you here the floor creaking and me tapping on wood, it is what it is. And at delete and not say that because it's raw. It's unfiltered anyway, but that's life. So anyway, UM figured out this money so I can have him on full time because he said he wanted

to be down. He said, with the team and what we can build with my creativity, Oh my god, Oh my god. And it's just like when you feel like it's so much pressure. And when I say pressure, just wait, they'm just caring me because heavy as the head that wears the crowd. And it's like, I know I'm doing something. KJL people saying they don't want nothing on my hand to her on my feet, just let me called. She was like doing I'm grateful for your life. I think

God fit you doing what you're doing. In that late it's just like, well, if I'm doing all this, where is the money? God? But I know that they're probably some things I got to have in order to do it. But I'm at the point right now it's like I gotta get I gotta do what I gotta do, and what I mean by that I have to get my game on so tight that that that what I do on these air was is so I think you can

I connect with you. That's why I gotta be real like this, so I can get these endorsements and get these sponsors, so I can inspire the world, so I can make my big dreams come true. Because what do I say? You know, I'm in a business of making dreams come true, But I damn sure I go forget about mine, so I always remember you are your greatest ass. I can't be a hypocrite telling Jeremiah not to care about himself. Um, So that's why I gotta figure out to do it and not telling. I said, all right,

let's do this. Let's make it an agreement. As Mad February. I said, you know, we both are areas are we're gonna celebrate our birthdays together. I said, let's give it to April because one financially it is pulling him. Then I can imagine that. But the one thing I did tell him, I said, you know, if you do make mistakes and things don't go correctly, I said, communicate, I said, you know, in a management role, and then you want to take a leadership. It isn't about not making mistakes

and not being able to do everything. What it means is that you're able to delegate and you're able to communicate. We all work in work in progress. And what do I say? You can't fail if you don't quit. So I know what it is like, you know, being an assistant. I never really talked about her much, but I am so proud of her. Um Egypt Egypt should ride. She doned in Atlanta pretty much how Jeremiah is to me, I was to her, And I can see kind of like the parallels of how lack of communication can be

here in patients running. Then there are but one thing that I want to make sure is that I commit to transparency because I believe him. And as long as we communicate, we can't say it can't never be because when you care about somebody, you communicate, it's gonna be healthy. You know, only comes toxic or not good when you don't communicate. I say all that to say, I remember when I was with her, she like said, like, assistants

only last for like two years. And so I'm looking at Jeremiah and I want him to grow, and I'm like, oh, we just realized this's to a year market is coming up, and I'm saying how things. He's doing an amazing job. But what I'm saying is I don't want him to be so thin and not in the enjoyment because we're all human, but where he's asking to grow as far as up lovel and I need to see that. I need to see that level of communication. I need you to if something is right, you bring it to my attention.

Don't just say yes if you don't have the capacity. Because we're moving an accelerated rate, things are gonna happen. I'm gonna look at him to be like, this is it and if this isn't, then it ain't it. But don't say it ain't it or it isn't and then it is. So if he's signed with the team, I gotta make it so that he only has to worry

about me being the team. And all of this is coming out because like I said, he's going up to Premiere and um working there, and then he hasn't been here in the past week and now the following week in which this podcast is gonna air this week because he's carvering over the Steve Harvey Warning Show. Yes he's

that dope and amazing. I know over there at Premiere Networks. Yeah, he's sending the signal out for the number one morning show right now, Urban a C syndicate that Premiere Networks, y'all where you used to do the digital content producers. So that's what's happened on that front. Who that was a lot of emotions. Uh, And I'm grateful for Brian. Oh. I don't like me to talk about him much. Maybe he gonna hear this, but he's down in New Orleans

right now with his family. And you know, as I'm realizing, being a talent, you gotta be on your motor being creativity when you speak. Yeah, and it sparks these ideas. It has to be like a groove of mindset. So I told him. I was like, you know, that was one of the things I was perturbed with Jeremiam, Like, how are you just gonna start the episode or the season out? And I don't give a welcome. How you don't tell you what's going on. We're just gonna bust

out with that the episode. And he was like, well, I don't even know what he said. He's I don't know if he said he wasn't thinking, but either way. Had I not you know, pushed in to be like I think at intro, we wouldn't have it. So I said with that to say, that's about me here right now. I was supposed to get this probably to Brian yesterday or super early in the morning, and I didn't because right now it is eleven almost ten fifty seven a m. Pacific Standard time. He is in Arleans, so that means

it's like one. He is with his family and kids. So I don't think and I don't see how any of this is going to be added it in a time or done anything, because he is living his life and as he should be and as everyone else, you know, enjoy your family. I'm the one that's singleing in a relationship and can spend all this time. But best belief, I'm making ruin my vulnerability because Donald is not about to be dry and out here forever. I'm not drying. But you know what I mean, not booed up, you know,

t M. I right, let me keep going. So Brian and I appreciate him, and I gotta give money so I can pay him, right you know, you know he'd been now with the team. Brian and I want to Howard together. Did you know that? Yep, I'm not sure. It wasn't freshman year. Did we meet in the radio protection class, Brian, I don't know, but that was years mom at the time, Bryan is very mild, mattered to chill, but um, I made mention to this before. But basically,

we don't need chances to years old Brian. Brian believe in me. A lot of things has happened right now, even tell me years ago, he said, you gotta start writing this stuff down. He was like for the story, and I like how he pushes me. You know, I

had a conversation. I was just telling him a lot that's going on me trying to figure out me running the show and doing everything about myself, and you know, just like I want to start up leveling my conversations to be talking about my mortgage and houses and stuff. I was like, I'm at that age and I'm like now complaining, But I'm like shore, I do right, Like, I work hard, I stay focused and sometimes you'll be thinking like, well, God, what about where's it my time?

But you gotta unders overstand said Gud's time. And I want to be prepared because when the crown hit my head, which I know because it's departments and we God showed me. I don't want to crook send my neck. I don't want to get no whiplash. I want to move with grace. So timing gets everything. But I say all that to say he pushes me because you know, I always be like I don't want to be bigger than Oprah, and

he was like what does that look like? Or you know, it charged me to think like, yeah, I want to be bigger than Oprah. But the impact of Michael Jackson. At first, I was like, well, maybe I need to say like Michael Jackson because I was thinking about when we've everybody been talking about the super Bowl commercial because Brianna just performed and she got more views at the

halftime than damn super Ball. That's pretty major anyway. But we couldn't get with the fact I was talking to somebody else about Michael how he just jumped up and he just stood there. Everybody's like, I was like, I want that kind of fact. It's dawn day and they just go cract, catch it because it's hot, catch it while it's all of that. But anyway, he pushes him in the drink. Think so I don't even know how long I've been talking for. But now we got that

out of the way. So that's that on end uh and personal and all that kind of stuff now us right, damn, I'm gonna leave all us. So that's what we're doing. But what that mean said, let me tell you what you're gonna be able to expect this season. We're taking it to the next level this season, I am would say it's dedicated to really truly building the Vitamin D network. I'm about to do something they've never seen before, You've never seen before, I've never seen before. Because it's sit here.

Expect conversations to be streaming live. We're gonna have a playback and then um it's threatening. So we're gonna have episodes that are going to um premiere on Sundays, right because that's the word. We're gonna get inspired. We're gonna ship the light right, that's gonna be the traditional Mondays. Is gonna be visible online because of now for sure saying on Instagram figuring out how I'm gonna do it

on Facebook and the rest of those platforms. But it will be streaming live then Monday, you're gonna be able to catch regular episodes like you've been catching on the app and want to go, and then we're gonna have away over creating a system so that you can view the video at your leisure. That's what we're doing. So um,

we got some great conversations. A few of the guests that you will here on this season are some that has trickled over from Front Page, because believe it or not, Front Page is actually an extension of what what happened doing with Vitamin D. That's why you gotta stay faithful.

It was almost like it was orchestrated and package rightly, and thank you God that I stay faithful, and we get up and had to get in the middle of the vulnerability of meeting all those unhelped people have happened to get on the bus, take three buses to get to my dream because can you hear me speak? Looks so fluid, Lee, It's like we are talking, because we are. But I said all that to say it prepared me for this moment right now, so some of those guests

will see there. I'm super excited to announce that our first guests, our first conversation that will debut, will be with Shirley Raines. She uh, well, I learned about her from social media. But she supports a lot of unhoused individuals with food and beauty products to make them feel human. And her thing is that everybody deserves to have a choice. Now, her work that I got privy to initially was the

work that she was doing on skin Row. But she goes to different colleges and campuses and so forth for students who are u housed because they need stuff too. Um, we talked about her a story. Um, she suffered a great loss. It was almost at one point when you hear a conversation, I didn't even know what to say, and I said, I gotta upload a like I'm saying, God, I need all this money. We're dawn, Are you performing at the level of the money that you're asking for?

Because you gotta learn how to answer questions, or to maneuver questions, or tow to articulate questions, whatever the case may be. But there was a moment in the conversation where I got even stuck. So you gotta check that out. But she's lovely and who is it? Is it my I should notice thing? God dog? But he on the episode two. But we have a real conversation and it's amazing. And then I have um Andrea Andrea with Mirror Mirror, she has her own business. I love her so much

and how she's speaking life. Um who else speak? Got Andrew Hope that is. And then we also got Christian Green coming up. He deals with a lot of foster cure youth. And you're realizing something that we pointed a few things out in the system and it's so much more so. That's who we got coming up on this season. It's getting real wall and unfilter. Heck, this could be like the behind the scenes probably was having no fun page the things that I can't really say that I

wouldn't shake. It's like behind the sheets and let me get a shot out real quick, because um, you know, I'll be feeling like God be sending me like these little angels and whispers that just remind me to get on my path. Um Jasmine James, I don't even know what she I think she's Philly Philly because I'm looking on her Instagram. I see a lot of Philly gear.

I think she and Philly, but she speaks like over me and one of the things she said she like listen when are you getting back to recording your podcasts because I'm almost done And I said, wow, I'm coming back soon. She said the episode you recorded in the closet, Baby, tears were rolling down my face to well, dang, I'm wondering if you hear are some tears here? She said, Please get back reporting your podcast. I'm almost finished. Listen to all your episodes. So Jasmine James, this for you.

Thank you, Thank you for letting your eyes on me because I tell Jeremiah and I shared with the family on front page. I say, when somebody lays their eyes on you give them something to see. Well, hey, baby don that is me. All right, Well, let me get out of the closet because um, I gotta get with this day and maybe Briana get twit. If not, should we were all filter nuncut. I don't even know if it's going to an instro out. All I know is about we out here. Life ain't perfect, so let's live

it and perfectly. I felt like that was supposed to come out better, but it didn't. All right, So um, that's how we do. On the Monday's episode, Stay tuned because Wednesday and Friday we still got our quick doses quick doses that we were used the lyrics of popular music and we intertwined that into an inspirational slash motivational slash, get you to live your life on purpose and for

purpose type of message. And yeah, we all sign and we figured out and then we're gonna have um a lot of the bits on social media, Vitamin d D on Day also doing day Speak. If you're not wing, you better check it out and follow me everywhere because that's what we'll be streaming. A lot of the live content and some of the interviews are up on YouTube there.

All right, Um, let me get out of here. I got a big, big, big meeting I gotta prepare for and hopefully you know, next time I come in for a check in, you know it's gonna be a Winin no, it's all raised a win win. So anyway, I love you and keep me amazing. Live your life on purpose and for a purpose, and remember to no, to love yourself and to take a chance on yourself, to believe in yourself, because you want other people to believe on you,

will you gotta be believing in yourself. Give them something to see, give the world something to see. And I hope that I'm a living proof, and I know it will be because a lot of the things that I talked about is it was manifesting right now when you see it and some of y'all seeing in reverse, and I think that's amazing. Oh it's almost and how it did it is a Star Wars star trek see. I ain't okay recall either one but one of them. The

stories go backwards, right just like that moment. Because if you're just checking in now and hearing me on kjl A and then you went back to these episodes, it's like you building up where I am now, and that as kind of faire because you probably even hear me sound differently. I'm going off. Let me get out of here, all right, y'all, Thank you so much for tuning in. Make sure you follow us on all social media at

Vitamin D Dawing Day. UM, if you want to submit an advice letter because you want to get my thoughts and opinions, send an email to Vitamin D at Doing Day Speech.

I want to give guests, Um, request information for them set up, and I'm gonna get my sight backed up during day speaks. So then I'm just leading to the site. I'm like

So what if? A? So what if? If? If some tears rolling down my face? When you ask God to grow, sometimes it rhymes and one day I'm gonna be that big old oak tree. All right, y'all, let me get out of here. You know, I always say I'm in the business and making dreams come true, and I damn
