7. Soul Survivor - Facing the risks in order to allow yourself to fully bloom

1
00:00:05,529 --> 00:00:06,339
Hey everyone.

2
00:00:06,339 --> 00:00:06,879
What's up.

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:10,119
This is Chelsea VanBuskirk
with the Heart AF podcast.

4
00:00:10,149 --> 00:00:11,689
Hope you guys are all doing well.

5
00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:15,579
I know I talked about this week's
episode would be a Q and a session,

6
00:00:15,609 --> 00:00:18,189
but I did not get questions.

7
00:00:19,479 --> 00:00:22,689
So I think maybe that could be
something that happens in the future.

8
00:00:22,929 --> 00:00:27,669
When my audience gets built up a bit more
so, scratch that idea for now, which

9
00:00:27,669 --> 00:00:31,959
is totally fine because I have a lot of
stuff that I would like to address and

10
00:00:31,959 --> 00:00:35,529
talk about because that's what I like
to do is just talk about stuff that I

11
00:00:35,529 --> 00:00:37,779
think is important and needs to be heard.

12
00:00:38,199 --> 00:00:38,559
And

13
00:00:38,609 --> 00:00:42,929
a recent post I wrote, , got a lot of
traction and a lot of feedback and it

14
00:00:42,929 --> 00:00:44,699
was brought up , this past weekend.

15
00:00:44,699 --> 00:00:47,489
And so I wanted to talk about it
and address it because I thought it

16
00:00:47,489 --> 00:00:50,749
was a really good point to address.

17
00:00:51,179 --> 00:00:53,559
So one of my favorite things
to do is walk outside.

18
00:00:53,559 --> 00:00:57,159
It's one way that I ground myself
and connect back with nature

19
00:00:57,159 --> 00:01:00,489
and just really get out of my head
because I'm an overthinker and over

20
00:01:00,489 --> 00:01:02,409
analyzer, I worry all the time.

21
00:01:02,409 --> 00:01:07,779
And so walking is just my
way to get myself together.

22
00:01:07,809 --> 00:01:08,389
Clear my head.

23
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:13,299
Gather thoughts get inspired and
really just get back into my body.

24
00:01:13,299 --> 00:01:14,529
It's just a way to ground myself.

25
00:01:14,559 --> 00:01:19,659
So I'm on this walk and I see this wild
flower in the middle of the walking path.

26
00:01:19,659 --> 00:01:20,889
Like it has sprouted.

27
00:01:21,489 --> 00:01:23,259
Through the sidewalk and it's up.

28
00:01:23,289 --> 00:01:27,369
And I stopped and took a picture of
it because I felt like that was a good

29
00:01:27,639 --> 00:01:31,719
symbol, for showing just how nature works.

30
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:33,879
I'm going to take some of the
ideas that I wrote in that post.

31
00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:37,419
So you're welcome to go back on my
Facebook or Instagram page and find

32
00:01:37,419 --> 00:01:40,059
the post with the wild sunflowers
spreading through the sidewalk.

33
00:01:40,089 --> 00:01:41,339
And you'll see my full post, but.

34
00:01:42,129 --> 00:01:46,029
Essentially when I was walking by that
flower, I immediately was reminded

35
00:01:46,029 --> 00:01:48,419
by words that I've heard from Dr.

36
00:01:48,419 --> 00:01:48,839
Wayne Dyer.

37
00:01:48,839 --> 00:01:50,129
He's one of my favorite.

38
00:01:50,459 --> 00:01:54,569
Most influential spiritual teachers that
I've gained knowledge from an insights.

39
00:01:54,569 --> 00:01:56,579
And he's somebody that just speaks to me.

40
00:01:56,579 --> 00:02:00,269
And it just makes sense, his ideas
click with me he's helped me grow

41
00:02:00,269 --> 00:02:01,889
immensely in my own spiritual journey.

42
00:02:02,189 --> 00:02:07,449
And one thing that he always talks about
is looking at nature and looking at

43
00:02:07,449 --> 00:02:11,129
the plants and animals and seeing how
they appear in the world, how they're

44
00:02:11,129 --> 00:02:12,689
not overthinking their existence.

45
00:02:12,689 --> 00:02:12,989
Right?

46
00:02:12,989 --> 00:02:16,469
Like they just are, they're not
worried about all these external

47
00:02:16,469 --> 00:02:19,829
factors that we as humans and our
brains tend to overthink about things.

48
00:02:20,189 --> 00:02:25,529
These natural things that are in the
world that are from our creator, right?

49
00:02:25,529 --> 00:02:29,229
The same creative force that has
created us has created, the trees,

50
00:02:29,229 --> 00:02:31,899
the plants, the flowers, the
animals, all these things and so.

51
00:02:32,032 --> 00:02:35,012
When I saw that flower, it was
an immediate recognition to

52
00:02:35,012 --> 00:02:37,322
that concept on this flower.

53
00:02:37,412 --> 00:02:39,932
Wasn't worried that it was
sprouting through a sidewalk.

54
00:02:39,932 --> 00:02:42,992
It wasn't worried about
it getting trampled on it.

55
00:02:42,992 --> 00:02:46,292
Wasn't worried about having to
break through the cement to be able

56
00:02:46,292 --> 00:02:49,022
to bloom, like, it just knew that
it was a flower and this is where

57
00:02:49,022 --> 00:02:51,992
it landed and sprouted, and it was
going to bloom either way, right?

58
00:02:53,132 --> 00:02:58,672
The flowers purpose is to bloom,
to bloom and just be itself.

59
00:02:58,702 --> 00:02:58,942
Right.

60
00:02:58,942 --> 00:03:01,132
And I was trying to
apply that concept to us.

61
00:03:01,492 --> 00:03:05,002
As humans because we tend to
pick ourselves apart and let

62
00:03:05,002 --> 00:03:08,992
that self doubt creep in and
prevent us from truly blooming.

63
00:03:09,262 --> 00:03:12,892
As our truest and greatest, most
beautiful selves, like we're always

64
00:03:12,892 --> 00:03:15,772
worried about how us blooming
might affect somebody else.

65
00:03:15,772 --> 00:03:20,542
Or if we bloom in a wrong place like
this wild flower bloomed in a sidewalk.

66
00:03:20,602 --> 00:03:20,932
Yes.

67
00:03:20,932 --> 00:03:23,542
It has the possibility of getting
stepped on getting trampled on.

68
00:03:23,542 --> 00:03:23,932
Right.

69
00:03:24,242 --> 00:03:27,362
And there's a layer of risk that
we have to take if we truly want

70
00:03:27,362 --> 00:03:31,212
to be ourselves and truly want
to, break free and bloom as our

71
00:03:31,212 --> 00:03:32,612
most beautiful selves in this world.

72
00:03:32,982 --> 00:03:36,702
And so I was really taking this
symbolism of this flower, like to,

73
00:03:36,732 --> 00:03:39,912
to that level, like really trying
to apply it to our life and how

74
00:03:40,332 --> 00:03:46,382
,
We tend to keep ourselves, caged up
in a lot of ways because of that fear

75
00:03:46,382 --> 00:03:47,912
of unknown, because we're questioning.

76
00:03:48,222 --> 00:03:49,782
How is this going to affect other people?

77
00:03:49,782 --> 00:03:54,182
If we decide to do something,
there is this quote.

78
00:03:54,422 --> 00:03:55,832
I might butcher the name.

79
00:03:55,862 --> 00:03:58,112
I have it written on my office wall here.

80
00:03:58,112 --> 00:03:59,282
You probably can't see it, but,

81
00:03:59,372 --> 00:04:00,832
Anais Nin.

82
00:04:00,962 --> 00:04:06,332
I'll spell that out in the, description
of this podcast, but the quote is.

83
00:04:07,052 --> 00:04:12,722
'The day came when the risk should remain
tight in a bud was more painful than the

84
00:04:12,722 --> 00:04:17,422
risk it took to bloom.' And I just got
goosebumps reading that now because that

85
00:04:17,422 --> 00:04:22,992
quote to me is something that I really
had to embrace about a year and a half

86
00:04:22,992 --> 00:04:26,892
ago when I was in this big transition
in my life where I was finally fed up,

87
00:04:27,082 --> 00:04:29,932
like I was keeping my true
self caged is what I was doing.

88
00:04:29,932 --> 00:04:32,392
I was not speaking up about
my needs and my wants.

89
00:04:32,632 --> 00:04:38,682
I was literally, caging myself and
I was suffocating my soul self, my

90
00:04:38,682 --> 00:04:41,472
true self, because I was so afraid
about being myself and how that

91
00:04:41,472 --> 00:04:42,732
was going to affect other people.

92
00:04:43,002 --> 00:04:46,992
And I was letting the power of what
other people might think of me take

93
00:04:47,022 --> 00:04:48,402
over my own thoughts of myself.

94
00:04:48,432 --> 00:04:48,762
So I was

95
00:04:48,812 --> 00:04:49,862
miserable.

96
00:04:50,112 --> 00:04:53,352
and That, that quote is just,
that's what I had to do.

97
00:04:53,392 --> 00:04:57,142
It became too painful for me
to keep living life in this

98
00:04:57,142 --> 00:05:00,862
miserable state of existence that
I had to put myself out there.

99
00:05:00,862 --> 00:05:07,462
I had to take that risk And speak my
truth and really speak my needs and

100
00:05:07,462 --> 00:05:10,312
make changes and that was so terrifying.

101
00:05:10,402 --> 00:05:11,512
I'm not saying it was easy.

102
00:05:11,512 --> 00:05:15,232
It was terrifying because I
felt like I was risking a lot.

103
00:05:15,232 --> 00:05:19,222
I felt like I was possibly risking
my family, my spouse, like, I

104
00:05:19,222 --> 00:05:23,242
didn't know, because I had been
living my life for so long.

105
00:05:23,542 --> 00:05:27,599
Based on how other people were
feeling instead of how I felt.

106
00:05:27,969 --> 00:05:31,669
And making that change and
making that switch is hard.

107
00:05:31,849 --> 00:05:32,569
It's very hard.

108
00:05:32,569 --> 00:05:37,162
And that also is about this podcast,
the heart AF kind of movement, if you

109
00:05:37,162 --> 00:05:41,732
will, that I'm trying to, ignite or
share or influence other people with, is

110
00:05:42,302 --> 00:05:47,582
it is hard as fuck to really listen to
your heart and really let your true self

111
00:05:47,582 --> 00:05:53,172
shine and to speak your truth and to work
through painful things like it's hard.

112
00:05:53,702 --> 00:05:55,372
To actually bloom.

113
00:05:56,042 --> 00:06:01,832
But at the same time, the risk
that you take on when you decide

114
00:06:01,832 --> 00:06:05,582
to just keep yourself tight
in a bud and not fully bloom.

115
00:06:06,152 --> 00:06:07,622
Like that is so sad.

116
00:06:07,622 --> 00:06:11,972
And how many people go out in this world
without fully blooming as themselves.

117
00:06:12,272 --> 00:06:14,162
You know, I think that is so sad.

118
00:06:14,162 --> 00:06:15,632
And so that is the mission.

119
00:06:15,632 --> 00:06:19,802
That is what I am trying to accomplish
is to let other people know who

120
00:06:19,802 --> 00:06:21,412
might be in that state, where they're

121
00:06:22,122 --> 00:06:26,412
Remaining tight and caged, to let
them feel empowered that they can

122
00:06:26,412 --> 00:06:28,242
bloom that yeah, it might be scary.

123
00:06:28,242 --> 00:06:32,352
And you're gonna really have to hold
on tight to that vision of yourself,

124
00:06:32,382 --> 00:06:35,232
but you can, you can bloom, right.

125
00:06:35,592 --> 00:06:41,542
And taking that risk is a better
outcome than the risk and pain of

126
00:06:41,542 --> 00:06:45,072
not taking the risk to be yourself,
because then you're not truly living.

127
00:06:45,442 --> 00:06:49,392
Up to your potential and letting the
world see your natural beauty, right?

128
00:06:49,392 --> 00:06:53,532
Like it's a disservice to keep
yourself caged and not fully out there.

129
00:06:53,832 --> 00:06:57,122
I know there's another oh
my gosh, what's her name?

130
00:06:57,162 --> 00:06:57,912
Her name is Rebecca.

131
00:06:57,912 --> 00:06:59,272
Why can't I think of her last name?

132
00:06:59,712 --> 00:07:04,582
One of her books is light as the
new black she's a fabulous, amazing

133
00:07:04,632 --> 00:07:08,772
Lightworker author, spiritual
teacher, gorgeous human being.

134
00:07:09,312 --> 00:07:09,972
Gorgeous soul.

135
00:07:10,242 --> 00:07:13,362
So she has said something
about flowers as well.

136
00:07:13,362 --> 00:07:15,012
She has a whole thing on roses,

137
00:07:15,062 --> 00:07:15,752
, Rebecca Campbell.

138
00:07:15,812 --> 00:07:15,872
Okay.

139
00:07:16,322 --> 00:07:17,312
found her card deck behind me.

140
00:07:17,312 --> 00:07:18,882
So, , anyway, Rebecca Campbell.

141
00:07:19,432 --> 00:07:21,682
I'm going to paraphrase, like
something that came from her book.

142
00:07:21,782 --> 00:07:27,422
But her idea of, you know, like roses,
aren't afraid to bloom, they're not

143
00:07:27,422 --> 00:07:28,922
taking a beauty from another flower.

144
00:07:28,922 --> 00:07:29,702
That's blooming, right?

145
00:07:29,702 --> 00:07:30,992
Like that flower is still gonna bloom.

146
00:07:31,022 --> 00:07:31,772
Like it's still.

147
00:07:32,462 --> 00:07:34,022
Is entitled to its own beauty, right?

148
00:07:34,022 --> 00:07:37,022
Just because this flower blooms,
doesn't take away this other

149
00:07:37,052 --> 00:07:38,582
flowers, beauty, so to speak.

150
00:07:38,582 --> 00:07:41,312
So this is a total paraphrase
of one of her ideas in her book.

151
00:07:41,562 --> 00:07:44,412
and I can't remember which book
it is exactly, but look her up.

152
00:07:44,442 --> 00:07:45,162
She's amazing.

153
00:07:45,212 --> 00:07:47,372
And she's got beautiful
Oracle decks as well.

154
00:07:47,635 --> 00:07:49,465
Anyway, what I'm trying to say.

155
00:07:50,335 --> 00:07:51,805
Is that it's too important.

156
00:07:52,195 --> 00:07:57,595
It's a disservice to the world to not
truly bloom as your most beautiful self.

157
00:07:57,985 --> 00:08:03,149
And that can be a hard concept
to, Acknowledge or accept but I

158
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:04,439
think it's important that you do.

159
00:08:04,679 --> 00:08:07,239
And, one of the things that got
brought up to me about this post

160
00:08:07,239 --> 00:08:11,309
that I wanted to touch on, was, I
was talking to a fellow parent and.

161
00:08:11,899 --> 00:08:15,169
He loved the post and his perspective
was he just kinda got caught up on.

162
00:08:16,019 --> 00:08:17,039
what type of flower is that?

163
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:19,629
Because I just, I'm curious, you know,
is that, flower is it's something

164
00:08:19,659 --> 00:08:21,219
that can, that will live a long time.

165
00:08:21,219 --> 00:08:22,569
Is it going to die out soon?

166
00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:24,159
And he kept talking about this.

167
00:08:24,209 --> 00:08:27,539
Fear of like, if his kids were to
go out and bloom, like he didn't

168
00:08:27,539 --> 00:08:28,559
want them to get trampled on.

169
00:08:28,559 --> 00:08:29,849
Like, he wouldn't want that for them.

170
00:08:29,849 --> 00:08:32,219
He wouldn't want them to
endure that kind of pain.

171
00:08:32,619 --> 00:08:36,049
And while I totally get where
he's coming from, that's kind

172
00:08:36,049 --> 00:08:37,189
of what I'm talking about.

173
00:08:37,789 --> 00:08:39,109
There is a risk.

174
00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:43,219
In being yourself and putting yourself
out there in the world, there is a

175
00:08:43,219 --> 00:08:46,999
risk that you will be criticized and
ridiculed and trampled on, but it's

176
00:08:47,479 --> 00:08:52,339
with that holding onto that faith and
knowing yourself and being secure and

177
00:08:52,339 --> 00:08:53,959
loved in yourself and in your faith.

178
00:08:53,959 --> 00:08:56,119
And just knowing that
you're fully supported.

179
00:08:57,199 --> 00:09:01,879
And knowing that you can rise up
above those hardships, that if you do.

180
00:09:01,963 --> 00:09:02,713
Let's say.

181
00:09:02,843 --> 00:09:06,973
You're coming out in a truth that
you are so afraid or ashamed to be.

182
00:09:07,493 --> 00:09:11,603
And you are ridiculed or you do
have people that you care about say

183
00:09:11,603 --> 00:09:16,433
awful and mean and hurtful things
to you because of who you truly are.

184
00:09:17,093 --> 00:09:18,773
That's something that's
real and that's painful.

185
00:09:18,773 --> 00:09:22,883
And that's a horrible experience that, you
don't want anybody to have to go through.

186
00:09:23,243 --> 00:09:27,983
But at the same time, You have to
stay strong and hold onto your faith.

187
00:09:28,313 --> 00:09:33,893
And hold on This is the true you that
you were created this way for a reason,

188
00:09:34,103 --> 00:09:35,513
you are fully loved and supported.

189
00:09:36,353 --> 00:09:39,743
Even if you do have people here in
the physical world who are showing

190
00:09:39,743 --> 00:09:42,113
you otherwise, there are other people.

191
00:09:42,563 --> 00:09:45,443
In spirit and other people in the
physical world that will support

192
00:09:45,443 --> 00:09:46,913
you and see you as who you are.

193
00:09:47,333 --> 00:09:48,863
And will applaud you.

194
00:09:48,943 --> 00:09:53,323
And when you do take that risk to show
your true self and let yourself truly

195
00:09:53,323 --> 00:09:57,283
be seen, then that allows people to
see the real you, and you're going

196
00:09:57,283 --> 00:10:00,013
to be attracting those people that
are attracted to that piece of you.

197
00:10:00,323 --> 00:10:01,883
There's this saying where,
you know, when you start.

198
00:10:03,323 --> 00:10:06,173
Aligning yourself to your true
self and you start becoming the

199
00:10:06,173 --> 00:10:10,763
person you truly are and shedding
away these old ways that you were

200
00:10:10,913 --> 00:10:13,203
shedding away, these false beliefs or

201
00:10:13,253 --> 00:10:15,563
Like the masks that you've been
wearing your whole life, right?

202
00:10:15,563 --> 00:10:18,443
Like when you shed those masks that
you've been wearing your whole life,

203
00:10:18,443 --> 00:10:20,253
and finally show your true face.

204
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,039
There are going to be people in situations
that kind of vibrate out from you.

205
00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:24,939
And that's okay.

206
00:10:24,939 --> 00:10:30,159
Like, as you grow and change, the
right people will come to you and

207
00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:33,159
the people that weren't right for you
are going to fade away and it's okay.

208
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:34,809
It can suck.

209
00:10:34,839 --> 00:10:35,379
It can be hard.

210
00:10:35,379 --> 00:10:35,949
It can be painful.

211
00:10:36,579 --> 00:10:39,189
But at the same time, you hold on to that
faith, that's something better is coming

212
00:10:39,189 --> 00:10:44,889
because the risk to remain in this painful
state, just for the sake of other people.

213
00:10:45,819 --> 00:10:49,659
Like, am I going to suffocate
myself, my spirit, my truth, just

214
00:10:49,659 --> 00:10:50,829
to appease these other people.

215
00:10:50,829 --> 00:10:53,109
So I don't have to make
them feel uncomfortable.

216
00:10:54,219 --> 00:10:55,449
That's really not the way to live.

217
00:10:55,449 --> 00:10:55,689
Right?

218
00:10:55,689 --> 00:10:59,829
Like you have to take that risk because
once you get through the pain, once

219
00:10:59,829 --> 00:11:01,229
you work your way through that.

220
00:11:01,229 --> 00:11:05,759
And you shut all that stuff out and
you are standing strong in your true

221
00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:07,649
self and letting yourself bloom.

222
00:11:07,949 --> 00:11:10,769
Then there are going to be
these other people that are

223
00:11:10,769 --> 00:11:12,299
going to be attracted to that.

224
00:11:12,299 --> 00:11:13,649
And it'll be like a magnet.

225
00:11:13,649 --> 00:11:15,719
Like you're going to pull the
right people into your life.

226
00:11:15,719 --> 00:11:17,489
The right opportunities
are going to come to you.

227
00:11:18,149 --> 00:11:22,139
And you will just be so astounded at
the level of happiness and joy that you

228
00:11:22,139 --> 00:11:25,019
can experience in your life that you did
not even think was possible because you

229
00:11:25,019 --> 00:11:26,369
thought you had to live your whole life.

230
00:11:26,999 --> 00:11:31,329
Caged up to who you thought you had to
be instead of really embracing your truth

231
00:11:31,359 --> 00:11:35,659
and letting yourself, be free and bloom,
knowing that there could be risk, right.

232
00:11:36,309 --> 00:11:39,999
So that is something that I really
just felt like I should elaborate

233
00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:43,049
a little bit more, following
up with that post is, yeah.

234
00:11:43,319 --> 00:11:47,009
There is a risk that that flower
is going to be trampled on and

235
00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:49,089
that flower might die, but.

236
00:11:49,126 --> 00:11:51,946
I have faith that I think that plant
will still be there and there's going

237
00:11:51,946 --> 00:11:55,546
to be another bloom that pops up because
that flower supposed to be there.

238
00:11:55,606 --> 00:11:56,056
Okay.

239
00:11:56,356 --> 00:11:57,046
You get what I'm saying?

240
00:11:57,046 --> 00:11:57,296
it's just.

241
00:11:57,656 --> 00:11:58,916
Having that faith.

242
00:11:59,846 --> 00:12:04,946
And that knowing and not letting
go of your truth and not letting,

243
00:12:04,976 --> 00:12:11,696
yourself bend or suffocate, what you
really think and how you really feel

244
00:12:11,696 --> 00:12:15,646
and who you really are, like really
letting yourself fully show yourself,

245
00:12:15,886 --> 00:12:19,546
knowing the risk, knowing you might
get knocked down, but knowing that you

246
00:12:19,546 --> 00:12:21,406
sure as hell can pick yourself back up.

247
00:12:21,436 --> 00:12:22,876
Like you find that inner strength.

248
00:12:22,876 --> 00:12:26,686
That inner strength that comes from
a higher source than just yourself.

249
00:12:26,836 --> 00:12:27,976
You are never alone.

250
00:12:28,096 --> 00:12:30,376
That higher power is always within you.

251
00:12:30,586 --> 00:12:32,606
And it's just acknowledging
it and knowing it.

252
00:12:33,196 --> 00:12:34,726
And then connecting with that.

253
00:12:34,756 --> 00:12:37,736
And I use the word faith a
lot, but you have to like,

254
00:12:37,786 --> 00:12:43,606
Pump yourself up in a way and have that
knowing to help pull yourself up, right?

255
00:12:43,636 --> 00:12:49,366
Like, to pick yourself back up, like
it's okay to, feel down, be sad, like

256
00:12:49,396 --> 00:12:52,726
don't deny your emotions or try to
suppress your emotions by any means,

257
00:12:52,906 --> 00:12:56,749
but it's not letting those debilitating
feelings, keep you down, right?

258
00:12:56,749 --> 00:12:58,459
Like you rise up from the ashes.

259
00:12:58,579 --> 00:13:01,009
Glennon Doyle is a great author too.

260
00:13:01,409 --> 00:13:05,359
Untamed is one of her recent books,
that's just, fricking amazing.

261
00:13:05,719 --> 00:13:09,949
And it talks about how
you just let it all burn.

262
00:13:10,009 --> 00:13:12,619
You let all those old stories,
all those old things, you just

263
00:13:12,619 --> 00:13:14,109
let it burn and start new.

264
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,469
And that's the concept here that you
have to just let it burn and really

265
00:13:18,499 --> 00:13:22,429
know that you have that strength to rise
above no matter what's going to come

266
00:13:22,429 --> 00:13:25,789
your way, no matter the challenges that
you may face, like it's about having

267
00:13:25,789 --> 00:13:30,409
the resilience and knowing that you do
have the strength and support to rise

268
00:13:30,409 --> 00:13:32,969
again and to rise above and, fully bloom.

269
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,969
Cause, the world needs you
fully open, fully bloomed.

270
00:13:36,969 --> 00:13:37,689
We need that.

271
00:13:37,689 --> 00:13:38,879
You are here for a reason.

272
00:13:39,619 --> 00:13:41,209
You are here to be yourself.

273
00:13:42,089 --> 00:13:43,019
Don't deny that.

274
00:13:43,049 --> 00:13:47,639
I've been there I've lived many
years where I was just not authentic

275
00:13:47,879 --> 00:13:49,529
saying what I thought I had to say.

276
00:13:49,769 --> 00:13:51,449
Acting the way I thought I had to act.

277
00:13:51,809 --> 00:13:56,129
and there's a lot of
self-growth and self love that.

278
00:13:56,789 --> 00:14:02,409
Is built as you start burning these
old ideas, you've been telling

279
00:14:02,409 --> 00:14:04,779
yourself these old stories that you're
living, because you feel like you

280
00:14:04,779 --> 00:14:08,529
have to live certain ways when you
start igniting yourself, igniting

281
00:14:08,529 --> 00:14:12,669
your, passions igniting that truth
within you and that power within you.

282
00:14:12,669 --> 00:14:15,999
And when you start connecting
with that higher source start

283
00:14:16,019 --> 00:14:17,489
being a co-creator of your life.

284
00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:18,929
Like it's very empowering.

285
00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:23,159
You build up that self-love, you are
able to work through the pain because

286
00:14:23,159 --> 00:14:24,389
you're not working through it alone.

287
00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:24,959
You're using.

288
00:14:25,589 --> 00:14:30,449
And relying on that God within that
power that you have access to, that

289
00:14:30,449 --> 00:14:35,339
you have forgotten, you are starting
to remember, and then using that to

290
00:14:35,339 --> 00:14:38,399
help rise up and above and fully bloom.

291
00:14:38,699 --> 00:14:40,619
I hope you guys got to
take away from this.

292
00:14:40,859 --> 00:14:41,729
Please let me know.

293
00:14:41,729 --> 00:14:45,449

feedback, love interaction.

300
00:15:03,729 --> 00:15:04,989
, I'm excited for you guys.

301
00:15:04,989 --> 00:15:06,819
I got some other good stories coming up.

302
00:15:06,859 --> 00:15:07,999
So stay tuned.

303
00:15:08,359 --> 00:15:08,959
Next week.

304
00:15:08,959 --> 00:15:11,719
I got some stuff about mom guilt.

305
00:15:11,719 --> 00:15:16,369
I know I had an episode about some of
that, and I got a whole can of worms

306
00:15:16,369 --> 00:15:20,149
that I'm ready to open and fill you guys
in on some more of that guilt we tend

307
00:15:20,149 --> 00:15:24,589
to get as parents and how other people
just need to sit the fuck down and mind

308
00:15:24,589 --> 00:15:29,756
their business and how these outsiders
like to make comments and knock us down

309
00:15:29,756 --> 00:15:32,066
and, how we can rise above those things.

310
00:15:32,366 --> 00:15:37,886
So anyway, this one is all about,
surviving through the difficultness

311
00:15:37,886 --> 00:15:42,076
of rising up and, being yourself and
letting yourself bloom and knowing

312
00:15:42,106 --> 00:15:43,636
those risks and doing it anyway.

313
00:15:43,636 --> 00:15:43,936
Right.

314
00:15:43,936 --> 00:15:46,306
Because the world needs you as you are.

315
00:15:46,546 --> 00:15:47,866
We need you fully bloomed.

316
00:15:48,166 --> 00:15:48,946
Yes, we do.

317
00:15:49,306 --> 00:15:51,106
So, thanks again.

318
00:15:51,136 --> 00:15:54,286
