WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.759
and he took a $2 ,000 investment and he did exactly

00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:08.519
what Marc Morose said to do and in a small space

00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:11.820
of time it doubled and it continued to double

00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:14.160
and double and double so he came to me he was

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.579
like Keisha this works this works you know oh

00:00:17.579 --> 00:00:19.980
my god you gotta learn it you gotta learn it

00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:23.699
and you gotta teach the kids and i'm just yeah

00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:27.280
and i'm just like what do what? Of course, he

00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.780
didn't make the journey through with the cancer.

00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.759
You know, about 10 weeks later, he passed. And

00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.960
so in January of the following year, he passed.

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.740
Because of COVID, we couldn't bury him. So we

00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:43.679
weren't able to bury him until February. And

00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.020
believe it or not, that same $2 ,000 that he

00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:50.619
invested is what I used to bury him. And then

00:00:50.619 --> 00:00:53.640
we sat. We sat for a while. We just took it all

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:58.649
in. And My son said something to me that was

00:00:58.649 --> 00:01:02.369
extremely powerful in that moment. And he was

00:01:02.369 --> 00:01:05.549
just like, Mom, we don't know how powerful we

00:01:05.549 --> 00:01:09.930
are until we tap in. Yeah. Yes. And that tapping

00:01:09.930 --> 00:01:13.510
in is alignment. At that moment, my roof was

00:01:13.510 --> 00:01:17.689
on the back burner. I'm maneuvering relationships

00:01:17.689 --> 00:01:20.870
with my in -laws now, you know, because DCF came

00:01:20.870 --> 00:01:24.810
through and was like, yo, your whole entire church.

00:01:24.969 --> 00:01:27.469
showed up at our office now that's something

00:01:27.469 --> 00:01:31.870
right there yeah your whole entire church showed

00:01:31.870 --> 00:01:34.730
up at our office and was like what are y 'all

00:01:34.730 --> 00:01:37.510
doing they closed the case like that the stories

00:01:37.510 --> 00:01:40.049
that you tell yourself is what keeps you stuck

00:01:40.049 --> 00:01:44.409
exactly exactly you know and you got in communication

00:01:44.409 --> 00:01:48.209

conversation. So I just want to just start off

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:44.060
by thanking a person who I admire and appreciate,

00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.139
who I've known for maybe three, four years, something

00:02:48.139 --> 00:02:52.560
like that. And I just want to say, Keisha, thank

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.340
you for being on the podcast. What's up? How

00:02:55.340 --> 00:02:58.919
are you feeling? Well, thanks for the introduction.

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:03.340
It's been about three, four years. And life is

00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:08.229
life -ing. Life is life. It's always life, you

00:03:08.229 --> 00:03:12.789
know, and I'm just, you know, bobbing and weaving,

00:03:13.210 --> 00:03:15.990
bobbing and weaving as the punches come and I

00:03:15.990 --> 00:03:19.020
keep moving forward, you know. And that's how

00:03:19.020 --> 00:03:21.900
I know you as and that's why I invited you on

00:03:21.900 --> 00:03:24.939
the podcast because of who you continue to show

00:03:24.939 --> 00:03:29.060
up as and who I see you as, as somebody who's

00:03:29.060 --> 00:03:32.939
resilient and magnificent in how you present

00:03:32.939 --> 00:03:37.500
yourself in the world. And I mean, I will go

00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:41.280
through it all, but I just, just to kind of just

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.240
give you your flowers. You, from the beginning

00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:50.210
that I met you, you showed up as just a real

00:03:50.210 --> 00:03:54.569
1000 % person, right? Just 1000 % yourself. And

00:03:54.569 --> 00:03:58.129
I love that. And before we go any deeper though,

00:03:58.129 --> 00:03:59.669
here's the question I have for you, because you

00:03:59.669 --> 00:04:02.030
know, I just, people go through seasons of life,

00:04:02.030 --> 00:04:05.370
right? And so what season of life are you currently

00:04:05.370 --> 00:04:08.530
in? And how would you describe yourself and who

00:04:08.530 --> 00:04:11.349
you are right now? That's a really good question.

00:04:11.669 --> 00:04:15.050
And it's a really good question because the answer

00:04:15.050 --> 00:04:20.430
came to me last night. Oh! And the season literally

00:04:20.430 --> 00:04:24.689
that I'm in right now is called alignment. I'm

00:04:24.689 --> 00:04:28.629
done. I'm done. It's called alignment and it's

00:04:28.629 --> 00:04:32.629
because there's a lot of, we can get into it,

00:04:32.629 --> 00:04:35.550
but there's a lot of things going on around me,

00:04:35.550 --> 00:04:38.129
but I'm not aligned with all of them. And some

00:04:38.129 --> 00:04:40.970
of them doors were open and I was pushed through.

00:04:41.910 --> 00:04:44.490
And there's others where I'm trying to get to

00:04:44.490 --> 00:04:46.410
it because that's where I'm interested in going.

00:04:46.620 --> 00:04:50.160
But I have to quiet the noise so that I can focus

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:56.639
on what is there for me and not the story. Right.

00:04:57.300 --> 00:05:00.759
That we tell ourselves about the situation. So

00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.540
yeah, right now I am deciphering a lot of things

00:05:04.540 --> 00:05:08.019
and I'm moving into a place of alignment with

00:05:08.019 --> 00:05:09.920
the things that I want in my life right now.

00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:12.420
That's, that's, that's magnificent. First of

00:05:12.420 --> 00:05:14.899
all, because that's, that's who that's exactly

00:05:14.899 --> 00:05:17.839
where I'm at. you know, I'm calling myself as

00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.399
alignment architect, as I'm going to coaching,

00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.220
you know, all that kind of stuff. And so that's

00:05:22.220 --> 00:05:24.819
basically the message of especially when this

00:05:24.819 --> 00:05:27.899
airs, we're doing a message of becoming the alignment

00:05:27.899 --> 00:05:33.060
shift, right? And so I knew when I asked for

00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:38.160
you to be on the podcast, I knew that it was

00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.040
perfect, right? So right then and there, that's

00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:42.660
alignment that we didn't even know. And now we

00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:45.790
get to experience that manifestation right here

00:05:45.790 --> 00:05:50.790
right now. Yeah, yeah. Nothing happens by coincidence.

00:05:50.970 --> 00:05:54.810
It's all part of the master plan. Part of the

00:05:54.810 --> 00:05:57.410
master plan. And I want to kind of go because

00:05:57.410 --> 00:06:01.850
your story is magnificent. And it goes back before

00:06:01.850 --> 00:06:05.050
you move to where you are now. And so I just

00:06:05.050 --> 00:06:07.670
kind of want to go back so that we can pull people

00:06:07.670 --> 00:06:11.490
with us as we go through the story that you that

00:06:11.490 --> 00:06:13.689
you have but right now you are an entrepreneur

00:06:13.689 --> 00:06:16.509
your mother you're you're standing strong for

00:06:16.509 --> 00:06:19.910
the for yourself and your future but before you

00:06:19.910 --> 00:06:22.170
got here there's some things that you went through

00:06:22.170 --> 00:06:25.569
and I just wanted to kind of presence us to who

00:06:25.569 --> 00:06:28.029
you were before you became this person this this

00:06:28.029 --> 00:06:31.509
part of your identity um that's moving things

00:06:31.509 --> 00:06:33.370
forward for yourself you're you and your family

00:06:33.370 --> 00:06:37.189
um can you kind of take us right before you move

00:06:37.189 --> 00:06:41.560
to here where you are in Georgia and what it

00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.740
took for you to get here. Well, it's an interesting

00:06:44.740 --> 00:06:47.720
timeline, which I happen to know by heart because

00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.980
I lived it. Right. And it started in probably

00:06:53.980 --> 00:07:00.399
October of 2021 on Halloween Day. My husband

00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:05.459
was diagnosed with stage four cancer. OK. And

00:07:05.459 --> 00:07:11.870
for us, you know, I'm a mother of six. We were

00:07:11.870 --> 00:07:16.350
raising six kids together. Life wasn't fantastic,

00:07:16.990 --> 00:07:19.370
but it was, it was good. We were comfortable.

00:07:19.629 --> 00:07:22.790
Everybody was happy. You know, bills were paid

00:07:22.790 --> 00:07:26.550
and we were at a point in our lives. I probably

00:07:26.550 --> 00:07:30.910
was at the time 46. He was 49 and we were talking

00:07:30.910 --> 00:07:34.339
about life insurance. Okay, before you get there,

00:07:34.339 --> 00:07:36.759
I just want to say, by the way, when you told

00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:38.300
me you're a mother of six, when I found it, I

00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:40.959
was like, ain't no way. Ain't no, I was like,

00:07:41.259 --> 00:07:48.480
29, 30. What? Mother of six. Yeah. Yeah. And

00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.079
yeah, I'm a mother of six. And I'm and I and

00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:54.879
I love the responsibility of that. You know,

00:07:54.939 --> 00:07:57.680
we we love the responsibility that we were doing

00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.759
it together. And we were just knocking it out

00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.459
as parents, like, yeah, we got this, you know?

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.060
And when he got the diagnosis, it was three days

00:08:09.060 --> 00:08:12.300
before our appointment for life insurance. Oh,

00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.420
wow. So, you know, it was one of those situations

00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:18.519
where he's just like, holy crap, like, we're

00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.079
both like, I thought we had more time, you know,

00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:24.379
and he goes into sort of a mini panic because

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:28.639
he's like, without this life insurance policy,

00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.389
like, If something happens to me, what are you

00:08:31.389 --> 00:08:34.090
going to do with these six kids by yourself?

00:08:34.590 --> 00:08:38.190
Like, it took both of us to make everyday work.

00:08:38.389 --> 00:08:41.870
So now, you know, there's this thing looming

00:08:41.870 --> 00:08:46.250
over his head, you know, the C word, and we're

00:08:46.250 --> 00:08:48.110
like, we don't know how much time we have. And

00:08:48.110 --> 00:08:51.450
now he has a diagnosis that disqualifies him

00:08:51.450 --> 00:08:55.809
for insurance. And so just to speed things up

00:08:55.809 --> 00:08:59.960
a little bit, he he was watching you know YouTube

00:08:59.960 --> 00:09:03.019
stressing out and he came across a man named

00:09:03.019 --> 00:09:06.840
Mark Monroe and Mark Monroe was teaching people

00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:10.820
how to print their own money by using the stock

00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:15.820
market and he took a $2 ,000 investment and he

00:09:15.820 --> 00:09:19.580
did exactly what Mark Monroe said to do and in

00:09:19.580 --> 00:09:22.759
a small space of time it doubled and it continued

00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:25.600
to double and double and double so he came to

00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.710
me he was like Keisha this works this works You

00:09:28.710 --> 00:09:31.350
know, oh my god, you gotta learn it. You gotta

00:09:31.350 --> 00:09:34.470
learn it and you gotta teach the kids And I'm

00:09:34.470 --> 00:09:38.429
just yeah, and I'm just like what do what you

00:09:38.429 --> 00:09:42.090
know, and Of course he didn't make the journey

00:09:42.090 --> 00:09:45.490
through with the cancer, you know about ten weeks

00:09:45.490 --> 00:09:49.129
later He passed and so in January of the following

00:09:49.129 --> 00:09:52.289
year he passed because of kovat. We couldn't

00:09:52.289 --> 00:09:55.610
bury him So we weren't able to bury him till

00:09:55.610 --> 00:09:59.879
February And believe it or not, that same $2

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:03.259
,000 that he invested is what I used to bury

00:10:03.259 --> 00:10:06.980
him because we didn't have any life insurance.

00:10:07.700 --> 00:10:13.960
So yeah, so that's what happened. March, we were

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:17.460
faced with eviction because we were living in

00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:21.519
a house where the agreement was if my husband

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:26.090
manages the landlord's other properties, we get

00:10:26.090 --> 00:10:29.090
to live in the house at a discounted price. So

00:10:29.090 --> 00:10:33.330
now that he's dead, he's passed away and there's

00:10:33.330 --> 00:10:35.570
no one to manage the property because I don't

00:10:35.570 --> 00:10:38.070
know how to manage, you know, do plumbing and

00:10:38.070 --> 00:10:40.990
drywall and all that stuff. The landlord wanted

00:10:40.990 --> 00:10:45.470
his house back. So he served us with eviction

00:10:45.470 --> 00:10:49.580
papers a month after we buried him. And that's

00:10:49.580 --> 00:10:52.720
March, right? Then April comes along and my sister

00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.820
-in -law, the one who loves me so much, she opens

00:10:55.820 --> 00:11:00.539
up a DCF case for me, saying that I am grieving

00:11:00.539 --> 00:11:03.840
too much and I'm not able to take care of my

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:10.139
kids and, you know, that the state needs to intervene

00:11:10.139 --> 00:11:13.799
and make sure that the kids are okay because

00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:17.870
I'm not okay. And so this is April. And then

00:11:17.870 --> 00:11:23.149
in May, I find out that my mother is living in

00:11:23.149 --> 00:11:26.730
a deplorable conditions in her apartment in New

00:11:26.730 --> 00:11:30.990
York. And so, you know, at this point, I've lost

00:11:30.990 --> 00:11:34.549
my husband. I'm about to lose my house. Someone

00:11:34.549 --> 00:11:38.889
is threatening to take my children. I don't know

00:11:38.889 --> 00:11:42.259
what to do. You know going on. Yeah. Yeah, that's

00:11:42.259 --> 00:11:46.039
a lot and i'm not giving the opportunity to grieve

00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.139
You know, i'm not giving the opportunity to grieve

00:11:49.139 --> 00:11:52.879
And bills are piling up on top of that. You understand

00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.919
there is no rich uncle coming to save us right?

00:11:57.419 --> 00:12:02.899
Okay, and so I sit I sit for a minute And I say

00:12:02.899 --> 00:12:06.139
to myself what what is there to do because crying

00:12:06.139 --> 00:12:09.340
isn't going to work There isn't enough money

00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.720
to get us out of this situation, what do I do?

00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:18.399
And I don't know if it was a voice or feeling,

00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.960
but I was offered the opportunity to do a course

00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:25.919
called communication access to power. And so

00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.539
I go on the computer and I look it up and the

00:12:28.539 --> 00:12:32.379
next available class is like in June. And so

00:12:32.379 --> 00:12:34.500
I signed up for it. I don't know where I'm getting

00:12:34.500 --> 00:12:37.159
the money for to pay, but You know, they say

00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.799
it starts when you sign up, right? Right. And

00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:44.419
so I signed up for the course and I did the course.

00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:50.419
And when I say it gave me access to my life,

00:12:50.500 --> 00:12:53.559
because all what I just told you, how many stories

00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:55.679
can you make up about everything I just said?

00:12:56.539 --> 00:12:59.700
Yeah, I was going to ask you, like, how did you

00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:03.960
separate what happened from the story that you

00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.940
would collapse for what happened? communication

00:13:06.940 --> 00:13:10.759
power access to power they allowed me to see

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:15.700
the situation for what it was not for how I felt

00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:20.460
the situation treated me or how I felt the world

00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:23.519
thought I should respond to it I saw it for what

00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:27.139
it was the what so and so I was able to from

00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:32.360
that course separate the story that I was telling

00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:37.049
myself about my situation Get access to what

00:13:37.049 --> 00:13:40.629
there was that I could do to change the situation

00:13:40.629 --> 00:13:45.129
and I think that for me was pivotal it was absolutely

00:13:45.129 --> 00:13:49.690
pivotal because Just focusing on what was available.

00:13:49.970 --> 00:13:54.029
I have a community I have a commute. I have a

00:13:54.029 --> 00:13:56.929
church community. I have a community that I live

00:13:56.929 --> 00:14:00.049
in I have a community of friends. And so I just

00:14:00.049 --> 00:14:02.169
started talking to people. I started talking

00:14:02.169 --> 00:14:06.250
to the people that know me best. I know me, but

00:14:06.250 --> 00:14:10.429
I know me from what the story I tell myself in

00:14:10.429 --> 00:14:14.570
my head. I don't know me from experiencing me.

00:14:14.950 --> 00:14:19.009
Other people experience me. Right. And so now

00:14:19.009 --> 00:14:23.070
I have to go to those people that experience

00:14:23.070 --> 00:14:27.389
me in a positive way and have them say, that's

00:14:27.389 --> 00:14:31.710
not who you are you're not crazy you're not a

00:14:31.710 --> 00:14:34.830
bad mother okay so tell that to the dcf worker

00:14:34.830 --> 00:14:39.529
okay tell that to the landlord who is trying

00:14:39.529 --> 00:14:42.990
to evict me so now i'm using the people in my

00:14:42.990 --> 00:14:45.610
community to vouch for my character to vouch

00:14:45.610 --> 00:14:49.629
for who i am and say hey can something different

00:14:49.629 --> 00:14:53.000
be done here And with that, conversations just

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.220
started opening up and opening up and opening

00:14:56.220 --> 00:14:58.899
up. Next thing I know, people were volunteering

00:14:58.899 --> 00:15:02.299
to move my mother from New York to Jacksonville

00:15:02.299 --> 00:15:06.100
where I was living. I didn't know. I had so many

00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:07.980
friends who were real estate agents and I didn't

00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:10.360
even know that. They were doing it on the side.

00:15:10.740 --> 00:15:12.399
People were saying, where do you want to go?

00:15:12.419 --> 00:15:14.779
Where do you want to move? I can find you a house.

00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:17.600
Let's look it up. How many rooms do you want?

00:15:17.659 --> 00:15:20.299
What does it look like? Next thing I know, I

00:15:20.299 --> 00:15:22.679
had emails coming in with all these different

00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:27.240
houses that were in my price range. I got a letter

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.220
from the landlord saying, hey, I wasn't aware

00:15:30.220 --> 00:15:35.549
you couldn't move. You know, I'm willing to let

00:15:35.549 --> 00:15:39.110
you stay until at least the kids are out of school

00:15:39.110 --> 00:15:42.649
and you find something else like it opened up

00:15:42.649 --> 00:15:46.490
dialogue that The stories in my head were telling

00:15:46.490 --> 00:15:49.330
me I couldn't have with people. Yeah, that's

00:15:49.330 --> 00:15:53.309
right there Yeah Because the stories that you

00:15:53.309 --> 00:15:56.429
tell yourself is what keeps you stuck exactly

00:15:56.429 --> 00:15:59.669
exactly, you know, and you got in communication

00:15:59.669 --> 00:16:03.480
and that was truly your access to just a shift

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.340
of who you could be and what showed up. Absolutely.

00:16:08.139 --> 00:16:11.419
Absolutely. And then I was just like, oh, I don't

00:16:11.419 --> 00:16:15.000
have a job. You know, like how, if I move, where

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.840
do I work? But I had all this equipment. You

00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.019
know, me and my husband were... working this

00:16:22.019 --> 00:16:27.000
laser business and we were making signage and

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:30.200
making products for people's weddings, signages

00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.179
for people's weddings and all the decor. And

00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:35.779
I felt like the story I was telling myself was,

00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:39.620
I can't do this by myself. I can't do this without

00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:44.919
him. But when I had access to power, the story

00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:49.019
was, but you have a 17 -year -old son that knows

00:16:49.019 --> 00:16:53.840
how to sand. and you have a 15 year old daughter

00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:56.679
that knows how to paint and you have 12 year

00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:59.620
old sons that know how to put stuff in boxes

00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:04.279
and just like that my six children we became

00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:08.319
a business and i had six employees just like

00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:12.640
like that where all the time as mom i saw them

00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:19.210
as my children now i have head of marketing What

00:17:19.210 --> 00:17:23.990
teenager do you know does not know how to maneuver

00:17:23.990 --> 00:17:30.029
social media? Okay, I had head of marketing I

00:17:30.029 --> 00:17:35.170
had you know quality assurance Managers, I I

00:17:35.170 --> 00:17:39.369
was just I had a photographer I was utilizing

00:17:39.369 --> 00:17:42.890
what I had right in front of me that stories

00:17:42.890 --> 00:17:46.470
were telling me didn't exist And when you're

00:17:46.470 --> 00:17:49.930
able to move the stories to the side and see

00:17:49.930 --> 00:17:52.650
what actually exists, the things that align,

00:17:52.890 --> 00:17:55.170
the things that align, because for me alignment

00:17:55.170 --> 00:17:59.710
is an alliance, right? And my kids became my

00:17:59.710 --> 00:18:03.309
alliance. Like we were all working towards the

00:18:03.309 --> 00:18:08.130
same goal, living a better life, being able to,

00:18:08.130 --> 00:18:11.170
you know, just weather the storm of what we were

00:18:11.170 --> 00:18:13.579
going through. Because they were hurting too.

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:18.039
Like at this point, I'm wearing at least seven

00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.539
different hats. You know, because I'm looking

00:18:21.539 --> 00:18:26.859
for a place to live. I'm defending my skills

00:18:26.859 --> 00:18:30.960
as a parent with DCF. Right? I'm managing my

00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.559
children's grief. You got six different personalities

00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:39.079
here. Yeah. Grieving differently. And I now have

00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.339
to figure out how to maneuver all those things.

00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:44.160
Like, I'm wearing a whole bunch of different

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.960
hats, and I'm a nurse to my mom. Yeah. So you're

00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:50.660
playing a lot of roles. A lot of roles. A lot

00:18:50.660 --> 00:18:55.660
of roles. So how did you begin to like, oh, first

00:18:55.660 --> 00:18:59.500
of all, going through your story and seeing that

00:18:59.500 --> 00:19:02.839
it was just a story, and then there's a what

00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.390
happened. How did you How did you like basically

00:19:06.390 --> 00:19:10.009
just begin to allow yourself to say this is what

00:19:10.009 --> 00:19:12.430
it is that I know is the course but in action

00:19:12.430 --> 00:19:15.329
like what did you do to say this is that and

00:19:15.329 --> 00:19:19.309
this is that and begin to Really assess your

00:19:19.309 --> 00:19:21.950
situation and move forward. Well for me, I'm

00:19:21.950 --> 00:19:24.789
a visual person So I couldn't just say it out

00:19:24.789 --> 00:19:28.630
loud. I had to write it out Okay, and so I got

00:19:28.630 --> 00:19:32.369
a book and I started writing What like it's almost

00:19:32.369 --> 00:19:34.890
like I was scripting I don't know if you're familiar

00:19:34.890 --> 00:19:37.829
with scripting, but I started to script out what

00:19:37.829 --> 00:19:41.789
I wanted my life to look like. And once I started

00:19:41.789 --> 00:19:44.250
scripting it out, what it was supposed to look

00:19:44.250 --> 00:19:47.329
like, then there's an action to take for certain

00:19:47.329 --> 00:19:50.309
things to happen. Like I need a home. So I had

00:19:50.309 --> 00:19:52.529
to have those conversations with those real estate

00:19:52.529 --> 00:19:56.109
agents to find me a home. That happened. Once

00:19:56.109 --> 00:19:59.130
that happened, it was like, okay, I need a truck

00:19:59.130 --> 00:20:03.400
and I need people to load the truck. You know,

00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.359
I have to have conversations with people who

00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:09.119
can make that happen. My church family came through

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:14.059
like like clutch. They were like, hey, we got

00:20:14.059 --> 00:20:18.539
I know a guy that has a shipping company and

00:20:18.539 --> 00:20:22.299
he next thing, you know, there was a U -Haul

00:20:22.299 --> 00:20:25.279
truck in front of my yard. Like not a penny came

00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:28.420
out of my pocket for that. People showed up and

00:20:28.420 --> 00:20:30.559
started taking stuff out of the house and putting

00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:34.539
it on the truck. You know, it It was like once

00:20:34.539 --> 00:20:40.059
I had a clear plan and I wrote everything out

00:20:40.059 --> 00:20:43.640
They just it's it's all it's I don't want to

00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:48.160
say it's magical. It just Yeah, it did feel like

00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.980
magic things just started Unfolding it it almost

00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:54.920
took a life of its own and things just started

00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:58.539
happening and I was just sitting back and watching

00:20:58.539 --> 00:21:02.920
for a minute like Why all of this from just opening

00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.160
my mouth and talking to people? And I knew it

00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:10.980
was more than that. I knew it was me You know

00:21:10.980 --> 00:21:14.799
just me giving to people like people don't just

00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.019
do that for anyone It's when you're authentic

00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:21.160
with yourself and you're giving of yourself to

00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:24.900
other people People don't forget that and I know

00:21:24.900 --> 00:21:27.859
it those were coins that I was putting in buckets

00:21:27.859 --> 00:21:32.200
that I didn't even know I was putting in in buckets,

00:21:32.299 --> 00:21:34.359
you know, seeds that I was sowing with people

00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:37.819
that I hadn't even known I had been sowing, you

00:21:37.819 --> 00:21:41.359
know, and it opened up conversation with me with

00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:44.259
other people to find out how are these people

00:21:44.259 --> 00:21:47.579
experiencing me? You know, it was the first time

00:21:47.579 --> 00:21:52.059
that I really like was interested. I don't think

00:21:52.059 --> 00:21:56.619
people are take the time to ask their friends

00:21:56.619 --> 00:21:59.630
and family like when you when you're around me

00:21:59.630 --> 00:22:02.250
what is what is that experience like for you

00:22:02.250 --> 00:22:07.089
yeah you know yeah i was watching something um

00:22:07.089 --> 00:22:09.869
i forgot what it was but i guess and you said

00:22:09.869 --> 00:22:12.809
pennies and people's like the buckets and this

00:22:12.809 --> 00:22:16.309
this was like this uh situation where there's

00:22:16.309 --> 00:22:19.829
like somebody was putting marbles in somebody's

00:22:19.829 --> 00:22:22.650
jar and those marbles kind of added up to if

00:22:22.650 --> 00:22:24.630
there's a full jar then that's a person that

00:22:24.650 --> 00:22:27.029
you could trust or this is kind of what you shared

00:22:27.029 --> 00:22:29.970
with this person. If you have a full jar that

00:22:29.970 --> 00:22:33.710
that I guess that relates to I don't know I don't

00:22:33.710 --> 00:22:36.630
know whatever but I guess for me it would say

00:22:36.630 --> 00:22:38.890
it would kind of say it would relate to who you

00:22:38.890 --> 00:22:40.289
are and your brand that you're putting out in

00:22:40.289 --> 00:22:42.849
the world and it's not necessarily just like

00:22:42.849 --> 00:22:46.170
a logo it's just who you are for people and if

00:22:46.170 --> 00:22:50.710
you're your coins or your marbles fill up like

00:22:50.710 --> 00:22:52.769
you have this imaginary jar with people and they

00:22:52.769 --> 00:22:55.410
have that with them And that's who you are for

00:22:55.410 --> 00:22:58.910
them. That full jar, you know? I totally get

00:22:58.910 --> 00:23:02.029
that concept. And yeah, I had a lot of full jars

00:23:02.029 --> 00:23:04.789
that I didn't even know existed. Yeah. And I'm

00:23:04.789 --> 00:23:08.309
grateful for it. I'm grateful for it. I'm humbled

00:23:08.309 --> 00:23:12.390
by it. If I had to give it one word, I'm humbled

00:23:12.390 --> 00:23:17.009
by it. Yeah. And you, I mean, it's so weird having

00:23:17.009 --> 00:23:19.269
to cover, like... interviewing you in this way,

00:23:19.390 --> 00:23:23.250
because I know you. And so it's just kind of

00:23:23.250 --> 00:23:26.150
interesting. Because it's just because I know

00:23:26.150 --> 00:23:29.549
you. And so I'm gonna just kind of throw that

00:23:29.549 --> 00:23:31.970
to the side and just continue to just have this

00:23:31.970 --> 00:23:35.089
conversation with you. Right. So you had talked

00:23:35.089 --> 00:23:38.170
about, and just kind of see where it goes. You

00:23:38.170 --> 00:23:39.609
had talked about like the first thing that you

00:23:39.609 --> 00:23:40.990
were doing, you're doing laser cutting. And I

00:23:40.990 --> 00:23:43.210
was like, yes, that's right. This is like your

00:23:43.210 --> 00:23:46.579
first business that you had that kind of Took

00:23:46.579 --> 00:23:49.160
you from you know, just kind of helps support

00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.779
you, right? Yeah, of course, you know, I have

00:23:52.779 --> 00:23:57.460
this That stays right next to me was things up

00:23:57.460 --> 00:24:01.220
here and I knew I was gonna some somehow was

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:03.000
gonna get into this conversation but that was

00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.579
your first business that you really kind of started

00:24:07.579 --> 00:24:10.880
and Coming from your story and saying like this

00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:14.900
is who I am. This is what I got to do Now you

00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:18.259
have these employees. How did that go for you?

00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:21.700
How did you begin to build that business? One

00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:24.039
of the things that I did when I was writing out

00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:29.039
that list of what there was to do, a friend of

00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:33.460
mine called me and she said, envision the house.

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:36.119
She said, just sit and envision the house. She

00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:39.250
was like, tell me what the walls look like. Tell

00:24:39.250 --> 00:24:42.890
me what the floor looks like. Tell me how many

00:24:42.890 --> 00:24:46.849
bedrooms there are and how is the layout of the

00:24:46.849 --> 00:24:49.349
house? Where is it positioned in the community?

00:24:50.170 --> 00:24:54.170
And so I, yeah, she wanted me to get really detailed

00:24:54.170 --> 00:24:57.490
with it and she wanted me to see it, feel it,

00:24:57.829 --> 00:25:03.000
smell the way the house smelled. And so. I knew

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:05.740
in order for me to run the business I needed

00:25:05.740 --> 00:25:09.339
a garage at least a two -car garage and I knew

00:25:09.339 --> 00:25:13.059
the machines that I use made a lot of noise so

00:25:13.059 --> 00:25:18.400
I had to be either the first house in the community

00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.839
or in the cul -de -sac somewhere where I didn't

00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.920
have neighbors so that when I'm running the the

00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:29.180
machines 12 o 'clock 2 o 'clock in the morning

00:25:29.180 --> 00:25:33.440
they're not disturbing people. And I needed it

00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.980
to be separate from where my mother would be.

00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:39.480
Because I wanted her to have her own space. I

00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:40.920
didn't want her to feel like she was living in

00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:43.960
my house. I wanted her to still have her independence

00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:47.559
and everything. And that's sweet the way. Yeah,

00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:52.099
yeah. So I knew I needed like a tri level or

00:25:52.099 --> 00:25:54.700
double decker type of split level house. Yeah.

00:25:54.859 --> 00:25:57.579
And so none of none of the agents were coming

00:25:57.579 --> 00:26:00.140
through with that. And so I was just like, oh

00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:02.420
my God, I don't know what I'm gonna do. This

00:26:02.420 --> 00:26:05.140
is our business and I need to have that space.

00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:09.380
And so one day I got a phone call and the lady

00:26:09.380 --> 00:26:14.220
was just like, Ms. Keelah, do you want the house

00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:17.059
or not? And I was just like, what house? And

00:26:17.059 --> 00:26:21.200
she was just like, I've been emailing you. I've

00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:24.579
been emailing you this house and you know, it's

00:26:24.579 --> 00:26:28.960
a hot commodity and you literally have 24 hours

00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:32.319
to look at the house and tell me if you want

00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:35.160
it or I'm putting it back on the market. It's

00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:38.539
about 3 o 'clock in the day when she calls me.

00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:43.640
And I'm just like, what? What in the world? Like,

00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:47.700
I'm in Jacksonville. The house is in Georgia.

00:26:48.460 --> 00:26:51.599
Like, long story short. I took the story out

00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:54.539
again. I'm taking out the story because the story

00:26:54.539 --> 00:26:57.859
is telling me I can't do it. But the reality

00:26:57.859 --> 00:27:00.599
of the situation is George is only five hours

00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:04.319
away. The reality of the situation is I can get

00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:07.140
a rental car. The reality of the situation is

00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:11.099
at this point in time, there's everybody's doing

00:27:11.099 --> 00:27:16.500
no access. Right. So I could see the house by

00:27:16.500 --> 00:27:19.720
eight o 'clock that day and The agent doesn't

00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:21.720
have to be present. They could just give me the

00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:24.559
code to the lock. So I made it happen. I got

00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:27.980
on tour real quick and I was just like, I need

00:27:27.980 --> 00:27:31.359
a $20 vehicle. Okay. I don't need nothing more

00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.640
than that. I need a $20 vehicle and I need it

00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.660
now. And I went on tour right now and I didn't

00:27:38.660 --> 00:27:41.660
get the $20, but I got a $25 one. All right.

00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:45.440
And I was just like, hey, I called up a friend.

00:27:45.619 --> 00:27:47.299
I said, hey, I need to go pick up this vehicle.

00:27:47.420 --> 00:27:49.240
Can you be at such -and -such? And they were

00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:52.240
like, sure, no problem. Called my son. I was

00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:53.980
just like, what you doing? He was like, I'm chilling.

00:27:54.140 --> 00:27:56.859
I said, I need company on this five -hour ride.

00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:00.740
And he was just like, let's go. And in an hour's

00:28:00.740 --> 00:28:06.380
time. I was in a $25 rental and we was on 95

00:28:06.380 --> 00:28:09.619
headed to wherever we were supposed to be to

00:28:09.619 --> 00:28:13.299
get to this house. When I walked into the house,

00:28:13.539 --> 00:28:15.940
when I walked into the house, the house that

00:28:15.940 --> 00:28:19.920
I'm in right now, both me and my son almost choked.

00:28:20.140 --> 00:28:24.319
The paint, yes, it was the same color. The floor

00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:29.380
was the color. It was a split level house. Two

00:28:29.380 --> 00:28:33.180
bedrooms downstairs. three bedrooms upstairs

00:28:33.180 --> 00:28:37.480
separate from the garage i was the last house

00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.519
before the cul -de -sac so i only had one neighbor

00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:46.119
and there was a hill between us see see there

00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:50.000
was a hill between us and i went into the garage

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:54.140
there was a door there was a look there was a

00:28:54.140 --> 00:28:58.650
space my my You know, Andre the Giant is my laser,

00:28:58.869 --> 00:29:01.809
right? Yeah. There was a space for Andre the

00:29:01.809 --> 00:29:07.089
Giant that was like his home. Yeah. His home.

00:29:08.329 --> 00:29:10.809
You know, Andre the Giant is almost the size

00:29:10.809 --> 00:29:15.410
of a car. Oh my goodness. I was just like, oh

00:29:15.410 --> 00:29:19.269
my gosh. Like the only thing that was left for

00:29:19.269 --> 00:29:22.910
me to do was get down on my knees and be grateful.

00:29:23.450 --> 00:29:26.359
Grateful, right? Yeah, me and my son, we cried.

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.059
We started saying praise and worship. We went

00:29:30.059 --> 00:29:33.119
into each room. We blessed it. This is going

00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:36.180
to be Jayden's room with the boys. Let this room

00:29:36.180 --> 00:29:39.400
cover them. Let them have great dreams at night.

00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:43.420
Let them have ideas that prosper them. Let them

00:29:43.420 --> 00:29:46.240
have ideas that let them contribute to their

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:49.059
communities in a positive way. We just started

00:29:49.059 --> 00:29:50.740
praying through the house like we were going

00:29:50.740 --> 00:29:53.950
crazy. And then we sat. We sat for a while and

00:29:53.950 --> 00:29:57.829
we just took it all in. And my son said something

00:29:57.829 --> 00:30:03.289
to me that was extremely powerful in that moment.

00:30:03.289 --> 00:30:06.089
And he was just like, mom, we don't know how

00:30:06.089 --> 00:30:10.769
powerful we are until we tap in. Yeah. Yes. And

00:30:10.769 --> 00:30:13.369
that tapping in is alignment. Here on The Thrival

00:30:13.369 --> 00:30:16.049

00:30:19.410 --> 00:30:21.910
been understanding my health on a deeper level.

00:30:22.009 --> 00:30:24.549

No, no, right No in the midst of there was just

00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:06.619
way too much going on like my grief is now on

00:32:06.619 --> 00:32:10.940
the back burner, right? And I got and not at

00:32:10.940 --> 00:32:13.839
that moment. My grief was that was on the back

00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:18.799
burner. I'm Maneuvering relationships with my

00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:21.819
in -laws now You know, because DCF came through

00:32:21.819 --> 00:32:26.079
and was like, yo, your whole entire church showed

00:32:26.079 --> 00:32:28.119
up at our office. Now, that's something right

00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:32.279
there. Yeah, your whole entire church showed

00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:35.140
up at our office and was like, what are y 'all

00:32:35.140 --> 00:32:38.880
doing? They closed the case like that. You understand?

00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:42.000
My landlord came through the same way. He was

00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.950
just like, he said, I wish I understood. what

00:32:44.950 --> 00:32:48.529
the situation was. I definitely wouldn't have

00:32:48.529 --> 00:32:52.069
evicted you. I knew he passed, but I didn't think

00:32:52.069 --> 00:32:56.970
he passed and you guys didn't have any place

00:32:56.970 --> 00:33:02.289
to go or you didn't have plans for this. My mom

00:33:02.289 --> 00:33:05.710
now is with me and all her medical care is taken

00:33:05.710 --> 00:33:08.829
care of. She has insurance. We're in control

00:33:08.829 --> 00:33:11.589
of what's going on with her. I'm managing all

00:33:11.589 --> 00:33:14.740
these things. There's no way. In the midst of

00:33:14.740 --> 00:33:18.099
all that, am I going, woohoo, I'm mad powerful.

00:33:18.700 --> 00:33:22.740
You know, that took a minute. That took a minute.

00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:26.519
Yeah, and I ask that because most people, well,

00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:30.480
I'll speak for me, and I would assert that most

00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:33.460
people don't know how to tap into the greatness

00:33:33.460 --> 00:33:38.079
when all that stuff is happening. It's one of

00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:41.359
those situations where you have to get still.

00:33:41.500 --> 00:33:43.559
because that's the only time that that shows

00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:47.440
up for well for me speaking for me there's all

00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:51.200
this chaos all around you there has to be a time

00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:54.940
whether it be in your bedroom in the bed in the

00:33:54.940 --> 00:33:57.359
middle of the night wherever where you just get

00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:01.960
still and just you have to quiet the noise i

00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:06.160
mean for me i wanted to hear god i wasn't happy

00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.820
with him you know i wasn't happy with him at

00:34:08.820 --> 00:34:12.190
all But I wanted to hear what he had to say.

00:34:13.150 --> 00:34:16.550
Like, dude, you got some explaining to do. Right.

00:34:17.170 --> 00:34:20.289
So you had to have a comment. And I needed to

00:34:20.289 --> 00:34:23.150
get still in order to hear what that explanation

00:34:23.150 --> 00:34:28.289
was so I could rebuttal. You know? But yeah,

00:34:28.730 --> 00:34:31.929
yes. Why am I going through all of this? And

00:34:31.929 --> 00:34:35.809
I could see the blessings in spite of everything.

00:34:35.929 --> 00:34:40.489
I could see the blessings. I don't think if I

00:34:40.489 --> 00:34:43.429
wasn't separating the story from the what so

00:34:43.429 --> 00:34:46.010
that I would have but I was seeing them clearly

00:34:46.010 --> 00:34:51.269
like chaos over here but blessing over here and

00:34:51.269 --> 00:34:55.010
I'm very very clear that this is a blessing and

00:34:55.010 --> 00:34:59.809
not destruction you know and so I would take

00:34:59.809 --> 00:35:02.409
the time sometimes sometimes I'd forget sometimes

00:35:02.409 --> 00:35:04.690
I'd be a little frustrated about it and be like

00:35:04.690 --> 00:35:08.190
bump that you know But there were times when

00:35:08.190 --> 00:35:11.570
I would just sit. I didn't know why I was just

00:35:11.570 --> 00:35:14.690
sitting. I just knew I needed this time of just

00:35:14.690 --> 00:35:17.869
quiet. Quiet. And creating that clear distinction

00:35:17.869 --> 00:35:22.909
was really like that was your access to your

00:35:22.909 --> 00:35:25.289
your power. Yeah, I can tell you that. I can

00:35:25.289 --> 00:35:27.590
tell you that now that yes, that's clear. I was

00:35:27.590 --> 00:35:30.510
gonna say hindsight is 20 -20, right? We think

00:35:30.510 --> 00:35:32.489
we know when we're going through, but we really

00:35:32.489 --> 00:35:34.329
don't until we get the chance to just kind of

00:35:34.329 --> 00:35:38.139
sit down and just Like you said, be still. And

00:35:38.139 --> 00:35:41.000
then all that stuff shows up. It's like, okay.

00:35:41.199 --> 00:35:45.579
Okay. And you're in this new moment. And who,

00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:48.099
like you said, right now is your season of alignment.

00:35:48.699 --> 00:35:52.079
And as I'm listening to your story, there's the

00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:55.139
through line, even with the chaos, because of

00:35:55.139 --> 00:35:57.099
you just kind of showing up for yourself and

00:35:57.099 --> 00:35:59.500
your family, there was some alignment there as

00:35:59.500 --> 00:36:02.860
well. But right now, is it the fact that you

00:36:02.860 --> 00:36:06.199
get to acknowledge it because you're you've experienced

00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:08.000
it before and you know what it feels like now

00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.920
yeah i feel like when you go through it the first

00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:14.059
time now you have a blueprint you have a blueprint

00:36:14.059 --> 00:36:17.340
you know what to do and what not to do and not

00:36:17.340 --> 00:36:22.079
so much not to do but what to do better right

00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:28.099
because the if i had to compare how i maneuver

00:36:28.099 --> 00:36:32.079
now to how i maneuvered that first time around

00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:34.800
my emotions are better in check now you know

00:36:34.860 --> 00:36:40.119
And I don't take cheap shots. In the beginning,

00:36:40.139 --> 00:36:44.840
I was taking cheap shots. I was using the death

00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:49.420
of my husband as a way to make things move faster

00:36:49.420 --> 00:36:54.840
sometimes. You know? I'd get to a speed bump

00:36:54.840 --> 00:36:57.900
and I'd be like, listen, I just lost my husband.

00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:02.199
I got these six kids. Is there a way that we

00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:06.599
can work this out? Now I don't do things like

00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:12.199
that. Now I can talk to people and say, I'm looking

00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:15.780
for a win -win situation here. This is what I

00:37:15.780 --> 00:37:18.219
need and this is what you need. How can we work

00:37:18.219 --> 00:37:20.460
with each other? I think this is really powerful

00:37:20.460 --> 00:37:25.860
too because there are times when I want to use

00:37:25.860 --> 00:37:29.630
a situation. to take advantage of an advantage,

00:37:29.809 --> 00:37:32.949
right? And there's no, like you said, let's do

00:37:32.949 --> 00:37:35.230
a win -win. There's no win -win there. It's just

00:37:35.230 --> 00:37:38.550
that maybe I'm trying to get over because I feel

00:37:38.550 --> 00:37:41.949
bad for myself, or whatever it may be. And that

00:37:41.949 --> 00:37:47.130
could be the case for other people. But you didn't

00:37:47.130 --> 00:37:50.510
allow that to basically run your life, and you

00:37:50.510 --> 00:37:53.829
made a shift and said, that's not who I'm gonna

00:37:53.829 --> 00:37:58.840
be. That's it goes back to separating the story.

00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:01.699
Like that's what happened to me. That's not who

00:38:01.699 --> 00:38:05.739
I am And now I have to sit and say okay So if

00:38:05.739 --> 00:38:08.199
this is what happened to me and it's not who

00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:12.920
I am then who do you want to be and that is where?

00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:17.920
Creativity starts happening. That's where Opportunities

00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:20.659
start presenting themselves. Oh, maybe I don't

00:38:20.659 --> 00:38:22.619
want to say opportunities start presenting themselves

00:38:23.130 --> 00:38:25.809
Because the opportunity in my opinion are always

00:38:25.809 --> 00:38:29.369
there. Now you're present to them. So that's

00:38:29.369 --> 00:38:31.389
that's what I would say. Now you're present to

00:38:31.389 --> 00:38:35.030
them, you know, and who I wanted to be was I

00:38:35.030 --> 00:38:37.269
wanted to be a contribution to the people that

00:38:37.269 --> 00:38:41.230
I come across. I didn't want to be a story. I

00:38:41.230 --> 00:38:44.610
didn't want to be a situation that happened,

00:38:45.010 --> 00:38:48.769
that I worked my way out of that, that, you know,

00:38:48.769 --> 00:38:51.690
if if this is so detrimental, and I could do

00:38:51.690 --> 00:38:54.409
it, you could do it too. Yeah, you know that

00:38:54.409 --> 00:38:59.690
I didn't want that approach. And so you start

00:38:59.690 --> 00:39:03.389
developing skills that allow you to be who you

00:39:03.389 --> 00:39:07.090
are authentically. And that's for me, that was

00:39:07.090 --> 00:39:11.889
going into coaching. And once I started coaching,

00:39:12.690 --> 00:39:16.949
I started seeing ways to allow people to get

00:39:16.949 --> 00:39:21.829
access to getting over whatever it was that they

00:39:21.829 --> 00:39:27.969
were experiencing without blame. Right. And I'll

00:39:27.969 --> 00:39:30.050
this is a perfect segue because that was it was

00:39:30.050 --> 00:39:34.190
playing in my head. 20 was it? What is it 2022?

00:39:34.570 --> 00:39:38.409
Wait a minute. Hold on. 2019 2022 2022. November

00:39:38.409 --> 00:39:43.590
2022. You were in the same leadership program.

00:39:44.210 --> 00:39:47.889
And you were a couple semesters ahead of me or

00:39:47.889 --> 00:39:51.289
something like that. And you were my coach. Yeah,

00:39:51.289 --> 00:39:55.929
you were my first coachee. And you got to deal

00:39:55.929 --> 00:40:00.670
with a guy who just had a, you know, a kidney

00:40:00.670 --> 00:40:04.030
transplant, who used his story, that identity

00:40:04.030 --> 00:40:08.849
is gone, who used his story as, you know, you

00:40:08.849 --> 00:40:13.250
know, whatever, as a crutch. And there were moments

00:40:13.250 --> 00:40:17.670
where, like you, you know, that feeling when

00:40:17.670 --> 00:40:19.469
somebody kind of calls you out your stuff and

00:40:19.469 --> 00:40:22.130
just kind of and you feel it like right here.

00:40:22.690 --> 00:40:26.250
I had many of those times with you. I know. But

00:40:26.250 --> 00:40:30.570
I appreciated it because I got to grow in that

00:40:30.570 --> 00:40:35.190
quarter, like, exponentially. Yes. Because of

00:40:35.190 --> 00:40:38.429
who you were. And I would assert that's the same

00:40:38.429 --> 00:40:41.289
thing you give to everybody. And had it not been

00:40:41.289 --> 00:40:44.489
for what you had gone through to get to that

00:40:44.489 --> 00:40:48.530
place, become that person, then I wouldn't have

00:40:48.530 --> 00:40:52.909
got to experience That Keisha. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,

00:40:52.949 --> 00:40:56.369
you're absolutely right. You're absolutely because

00:40:56.369 --> 00:40:58.389
I already knew where you were. You know, I knew

00:40:58.389 --> 00:41:01.730
where you were in terms of this happened to me.

00:41:01.809 --> 00:41:05.329
So you either have to give me a pass or listen

00:41:05.329 --> 00:41:09.469
to my story, my pity story. You know, while I

00:41:09.469 --> 00:41:12.590
find a way to get through this, I had been there.

00:41:12.750 --> 00:41:17.110
So I was able to go, okay, I'll let you talk.

00:41:17.210 --> 00:41:20.650
this story this first time yeah i'll hear it

00:41:20.650 --> 00:41:23.050
yeah you know this first time but we're not gonna

00:41:23.050 --> 00:41:26.409
do it in our second meeting this is not what

00:41:26.409 --> 00:41:29.190
we're gonna do we're not gonna do it in our third

00:41:29.190 --> 00:41:32.309
meeting you know because then then you're stuck

00:41:32.309 --> 00:41:35.489
yeah then you're stuck but you know my experience

00:41:35.489 --> 00:41:42.420
with you you made me pull out rabbits okay from

00:41:42.420 --> 00:41:46.500
my back pocket like abracadabra you were you

00:41:46.500 --> 00:41:50.500
were lit and and i was determined for you to

00:41:50.500 --> 00:41:52.179
get to wherever you needed to be because you

00:41:52.179 --> 00:41:55.599
were my first right i can't have my very first

00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:59.880
coaching gig go left i wasn't having it and so

00:41:59.880 --> 00:42:02.079
if it meant extra hours with you extra minutes

00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:06.159
with you so be it you know and then there's something

00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:11.329
about people's energy. You could tell when you're

00:42:11.329 --> 00:42:14.369
communicating with someone that has good energy,

00:42:14.710 --> 00:42:18.769
and you can tell when you're in a space with

00:42:18.769 --> 00:42:21.289
somebody who's really dark. You aren't dark.

00:42:21.750 --> 00:42:23.849
You're pretending to be. You're pretending to

00:42:23.849 --> 00:42:29.949
be. The pretence was there. Yeah, but your spirit,

00:42:29.969 --> 00:42:33.869
in my opinion, was I've lost my way, right? That's

00:42:33.869 --> 00:42:37.369
what I got. I lost my way. I'm not on track anymore,

00:42:38.230 --> 00:42:41.309
and I'm not even sure if I want to get back on

00:42:41.309 --> 00:42:45.550
track, but I lost my way. And so for me, I saw

00:42:45.550 --> 00:42:48.750
that as a way to share what I knew, share what

00:42:48.750 --> 00:42:52.210
I experienced, just so that you could find the

00:42:52.210 --> 00:42:55.909
track. So that once you get back on it, you can

00:42:55.909 --> 00:42:58.849
decide what you were going to do once you got

00:42:58.849 --> 00:43:04.539
there. When my season my my my time was over

00:43:04.539 --> 00:43:07.860
with with the leadership program and You know,

00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:10.519
I still followed up with you with other people.

00:43:10.539 --> 00:43:12.920
I was like, so how's Michael doing? How's Mike

00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:16.360
doing? You know, I there were times people would

00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:19.880
talk to me and I was I was so moved by where

00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:22.079
you had been going and I was just like it's because

00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:25.539
he had he had a solid foundation Because the

00:43:25.539 --> 00:43:28.000
advice I was getting in the background was if

00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:30.059
he don't want to win don't let it don't win then

00:43:30.250 --> 00:43:33.969
And I was like, that's a BS if I ever did hear

00:43:33.969 --> 00:43:37.289
it. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, they

00:43:37.289 --> 00:43:39.489
were just like, hey, he don't want to win, then

00:43:39.489 --> 00:43:42.510
okay, don't let him win. And I was like, not

00:43:42.510 --> 00:43:45.849
on my watch, you know, not on my watch, you know,

00:43:46.030 --> 00:43:49.230
each one teach one and we all eat together. Right,

00:43:49.650 --> 00:43:52.460
right. So I was just like, yeah, I was really

00:43:52.460 --> 00:43:55.280
proud of where you, and now look at where you

00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:58.639
are. Like, did we foresee this? I didn't. I didn't.

00:43:58.639 --> 00:44:02.840
I didn't. But that's who you are, that's who

00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:06.699
you continue to show up as even stronger today.

00:44:08.059 --> 00:44:14.039
And you've taken that power that you have, that

00:44:14.039 --> 00:44:17.880
unspoken power that you have, and the knowledge

00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:20.340
and apply it to what you're doing today. And

00:44:20.340 --> 00:44:25.400
I think it's a very powerful thing. And I'm talking

00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:29.320
about your new business, your new setup, and

00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:32.039
who you what I mean from what I'm seeing in your

00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:35.639
testimonials and things like that. What you're

00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:38.980
bringing to this is really enlightening to people

00:44:38.980 --> 00:44:43.480
who have no clue. And we're talking about is

00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:45.880
your new business, which is Stocked Up Future,

00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:48.579
right? Mm -hmm. Stocked up future. That's my

00:44:48.579 --> 00:44:53.539
new baby. It's your baby. Mm -hmm. And I remember,

00:44:53.579 --> 00:44:55.599
I think it was a conversation that we're having

00:44:55.599 --> 00:44:58.460
one time. You were talking about how you were

00:44:58.460 --> 00:45:02.900
teaching your children, your kids, that basically

00:45:02.900 --> 00:45:05.760
finances, and you're doing it through the board

00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:09.340
game. Right. And now you're here at this school.

00:45:09.340 --> 00:45:11.760
Cashflow. Cashflow, the cashflow game. Yeah,

00:45:12.019 --> 00:45:16.820
wait. What's his name? I wanted to say Robert,

00:45:16.820 --> 00:45:19.380
but I don't know. Yeah, it is Robert Kiyosaki.

00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:22.739
It's his game. Okay. Robert Kiyosaki. And I was,

00:45:22.940 --> 00:45:25.139
I, we would have game night. I would invite people

00:45:25.139 --> 00:45:29.679
over and we would play cash flow. And I watched

00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:35.480
my kids get it. But what really made me start,

00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:39.099
um, stocked up future was that other people would

00:45:39.099 --> 00:45:42.829
sit in on our meetings. That's people will come

00:45:42.829 --> 00:45:45.510
to visit me sometimes, you know Let's stop by

00:45:45.510 --> 00:45:48.289
and check each out on a Sunday or whatever and

00:45:48.289 --> 00:45:50.449
we would be in the middle of our stock meetings

00:45:50.449 --> 00:45:53.429
me and my children because remember if we take

00:45:53.429 --> 00:45:55.929
it back to where it all started this started

00:45:55.929 --> 00:45:59.269
because my husband was panicked that We wouldn't

00:45:59.269 --> 00:46:01.469
be able to take care of ourselves in the event.

00:46:01.510 --> 00:46:03.929
He passed Yeah, and so he was like Keisha you

00:46:03.929 --> 00:46:05.869
gotta learn this you gotta learn this and I'm

00:46:05.869 --> 00:46:11.219
like learn what what you know like you want me

00:46:11.219 --> 00:46:15.300
to you want me to learn the stock market because

00:46:15.300 --> 00:46:17.380
i didn't even know what it was called you know

00:46:17.380 --> 00:46:21.280
you know a lot of people start there yeah i'm

00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:23.119
just like you want me to learn the stock market

00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:27.000
like i'm 40 something years old like dude my

00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:30.019
head is hard already i can't learn anything else

00:46:30.019 --> 00:46:35.039
you know but who am i to deny a a man who's desperate

00:46:35.340 --> 00:46:38.960
You know to see that his family do well his his

00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:43.679
one of his last, you know requests and so The

00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:46.679
fact that I was able to take his money that he

00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:49.260
traded and pay his funeral and still had money

00:46:49.260 --> 00:46:54.860
left over to move to to Atlanta Was like maybe

00:46:54.860 --> 00:46:59.559
he maybe he have something here And so as I was

00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:02.539
learning it, I was teaching it to the kids, you

00:47:02.539 --> 00:47:05.880
know, and at the time they were 10 12 and 14.

00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:08.920
You know, I had a 10 year old, 10 year old twins,

00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:12.760
a 14 year old and a 16 year old and my 17 year

00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:16.099
old was getting ready to go off to college. And

00:47:16.099 --> 00:47:20.159
every Sunday that was the routine. Every Sunday

00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:23.880
we would sit from 12 to three and we would learn

00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:27.019
technical analysis. You know, we talk about the

00:47:27.019 --> 00:47:30.559
Bollinger Bands and the moving average and the

00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:34.510
average true range and we would Figure out how

00:47:34.510 --> 00:47:38.130
to pick companies and what worked and what didn't

00:47:38.130 --> 00:47:39.969
work and what we needed to know the vocabulary

00:47:39.969 --> 00:47:43.789
was where we started, you know, and When people

00:47:43.789 --> 00:47:45.570
will come I would just be like, hey, this is

00:47:45.570 --> 00:47:47.949
what we're doing You can either sit and sit through

00:47:47.949 --> 00:47:51.530
it or you know come back and they'd sit through

00:47:51.530 --> 00:47:54.730
it and what? enlightened people was they were

00:47:54.730 --> 00:47:58.679
following along like We were probably in class

00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:01.480
12 and they're sitting through it for the first

00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:04.400
time and yet again They're following along just

00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:07.179
as easy as can be and they were just like wow

00:48:07.179 --> 00:48:11.579
this you make it so practical can I can you teach

00:48:11.579 --> 00:48:15.360
can I come on Sundays and Before you know it,

00:48:15.539 --> 00:48:18.199
you know, we had a crowd every Sunday. I was

00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:21.920
cooking it was a catering thing now and you know,

00:48:22.059 --> 00:48:25.840
we're teaching people technical analysis. And

00:48:25.840 --> 00:48:28.059
I'm I remember sitting back one day and saying

00:48:28.059 --> 00:48:31.599
to myself, look, wow, look what you did. Look

00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:34.400
what you did here. Like, look what you started.

00:48:34.739 --> 00:48:39.219
Right. And lo and behold, one day I fell into,

00:48:39.219 --> 00:48:43.380
you know, a really bad financial situation, where

00:48:43.380 --> 00:48:46.880
IRS presented themselves and they garnished everything

00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:50.139
from my accounts. They took what I say everything

00:48:50.139 --> 00:48:53.820
they took. everything and I was in a position

00:48:53.820 --> 00:48:56.199
where I was just like I'm still taking care of

00:48:56.199 --> 00:49:00.739
five kids like I couldn't even buy milk the next

00:49:00.739 --> 00:49:03.320
day they took everything from my account and

00:49:03.320 --> 00:49:05.619
I had a friend that called me up and she said

00:49:05.619 --> 00:49:08.960
all right Keisha cry cry about it mm -hmm I'm

00:49:08.960 --> 00:49:13.780
gonna give you 24 hours scream cry kick do whatever

00:49:13.780 --> 00:49:16.360
you have to do when I call you back tomorrow

00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:22.019
I don't want to hear this sob story Yeah, you're

00:49:22.019 --> 00:49:26.440
human being Have your human moment. And so I

00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:28.679
did I cried I screamed I don't even think I went

00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:31.239
to sleep that night because I was just like everything

00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:35.019
I built was gone, you know Irish just came like

00:49:35.019 --> 00:49:38.179
Uncle Sam was just like, okay, I need my share

00:49:38.179 --> 00:49:42.860
and took everything with no consideration to

00:49:43.019 --> 00:49:45.380
what I had going on that there was kids here

00:49:45.380 --> 00:49:49.219
that needed to be taken care of and so the next

00:49:49.219 --> 00:49:51.519
day she called me she was like okay so what you

00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:54.460
come up with and I was like what you mean I got

00:49:54.460 --> 00:49:57.340
rid of the tears that's all I did I got rid of

00:49:57.340 --> 00:49:59.599
the tears because let me tell you you can lose

00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:02.820
people you can lose your dog you can lose you

00:50:02.820 --> 00:50:05.119
lose your car you can lose your house but when

00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:08.019
you lose money it'd be personal it's personal

00:50:08.019 --> 00:50:11.960
it'd be real personal and so I was just like

00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:17.380
you know I lost six figures here and I had absolutely

00:50:17.380 --> 00:50:20.059
nothing what you want me to tell you and she

00:50:20.059 --> 00:50:22.340
was just like I want you to tell me what you

00:50:22.340 --> 00:50:25.760
would do if you had to start all over again and

00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:28.480
I was just like I never thought about it like

00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:34.079
that you know yeah and so I started I started

00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:36.719
framing it out what would I do if I had to start

00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:39.699
all over again and then she was just like well

00:50:39.699 --> 00:50:43.289
once you frame it out Want to sit in on it so

00:50:43.289 --> 00:50:45.449
I could learn it and then she went and got a

00:50:45.449 --> 00:50:48.449
couple of her friends and Next thing, you know,

00:50:48.449 --> 00:50:52.869
we had money Mondays on zoom every single week

00:50:52.869 --> 00:50:56.710
and that's exactly how Stocked up future was

00:50:56.710 --> 00:50:59.949
born like money Mondays with a bunch of women

00:50:59.949 --> 00:51:04.449
who wanted to invest Didn't know how to and they

00:51:04.449 --> 00:51:07.010
were just like hey, let's let's figure this out.

00:51:07.090 --> 00:51:09.949
Let's figure it out together You gotta figure

00:51:09.949 --> 00:51:13.579
it out. You got and you have money money money

00:51:13.579 --> 00:51:17.539
money Mondays. Money Mondays. Money Mondays going

00:51:17.539 --> 00:51:21.239
and you now you do more it's more than just women

00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:26.639
because I see men really ranting and raving giving

00:51:26.639 --> 00:51:31.239
you praises about you know them getting knowledge

00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:34.420
and understanding about what they can do in the

00:51:34.420 --> 00:51:38.980
market. Yeah I've had a couple of people You

00:51:38.980 --> 00:51:41.800
know, once somebody starts learning how to print

00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:44.239
money, the first thing they do is they tell their

00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:47.719
family. That's the first thing. If it's their

00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:49.639
mother, it's their father, it's their husband,

00:51:49.860 --> 00:51:51.420
their brother, sister, that's the first thing

00:51:51.420 --> 00:51:53.719
they do. They tell their family. So the first

00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:57.500
class was us seven women. And when they realized

00:51:57.500 --> 00:51:59.519
how much money they could make, they started

00:51:59.519 --> 00:52:02.059
telling the people that they loved in their family.

00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:04.860
So the second class doubled. went from seven

00:52:04.860 --> 00:52:07.800
people to 14 people and it was a mixture of both

00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:13.460
men and women and in that second class we birthed

00:52:13.460 --> 00:52:16.960
I think two day traders like people who just

00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:19.900
was like oh I'm making more money doing this

00:52:19.900 --> 00:52:22.519
than my real estate business oh I'm making more

00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:26.440
money doing this than my nine to five and so

00:52:26.440 --> 00:52:29.360
if I could just build out a framework and just

00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:32.420
wash rinse and repeat I'm gonna make some money."

00:52:32.420 --> 00:52:35.380
And so the men were the one that did that. You

00:52:35.380 --> 00:52:38.079
know, women are really emotional sometimes about

00:52:38.079 --> 00:52:40.519
how we do things. The men were just cutting dry.

00:52:42.380 --> 00:52:45.059
They were like, oh, that's, oh, this is, oh,

00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:48.239
that's, oh, okay, yeah. This is what we're coming

00:52:48.239 --> 00:52:50.519
to do. We're coming to make the money, really

00:52:50.519 --> 00:52:53.460
make the money. And so I got two day traders

00:52:53.460 --> 00:52:56.219
out of that class. And in the third class, we

00:52:56.219 --> 00:52:59.699
kind of scaled it into options. where you can

00:52:59.699 --> 00:53:03.960
now that you know how to identify the money on

00:53:03.960 --> 00:53:07.760
the charts what can you do with it and so the

00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:10.780
option class became a way to scale that by a

00:53:10.780 --> 00:53:15.360
hundred and so the promise that was made is you

00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:17.860
know if you take the technical analysis class

00:53:17.860 --> 00:53:19.960
i promise you you can make a hundred dollars

00:53:19.960 --> 00:53:23.400
a day and so a hundred dollars a day is equivalent

00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:26.079
to two thousand dollars a month you know using

00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:29.639
the stock calendar the stock market calendar.

00:53:30.099 --> 00:53:33.400
And who can't today use an additional $2 ,000

00:53:33.400 --> 00:53:37.780
in there? I was just going to say that. In their

00:53:37.780 --> 00:53:42.800
budget. Yeah. And so that's how it's been. It's

00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:45.699
been growing. The class that I'm teaching now

00:53:45.699 --> 00:53:48.760
was almost 30 students. I had to turn people

00:53:48.760 --> 00:53:53.380
away. And everybody's just like, when I'm finished

00:53:53.380 --> 00:53:55.840
with this class, I want my daughter to do it.

00:53:56.159 --> 00:53:58.639
I want my son to do it. And the reason why is

00:53:58.639 --> 00:54:00.940
because I make my kids sit through the class,

00:54:01.300 --> 00:54:03.840
you know, like the promise was that I would learn

00:54:03.840 --> 00:54:07.019
it and teach it to the kids. So my kids sit through

00:54:07.019 --> 00:54:10.300
every single class. And so people are watching

00:54:10.300 --> 00:54:12.840
them and saying, yeah, I can't get up there and

00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:15.179
say that I can't do it when I'm looking at this

00:54:15.179 --> 00:54:18.239
15 year old and this 17 year old knock it out

00:54:18.239 --> 00:54:22.300
the park. Yeah. Right, so no excuses and I create

00:54:22.300 --> 00:54:25.400
a safe space, you know I ask questions that I

00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:27.900
know people do not know the answer to because

00:54:27.900 --> 00:54:31.039
I want them to get comfortable with not knowing

00:54:31.039 --> 00:54:33.920
and then finding out you know, a lot of people

00:54:33.920 --> 00:54:37.500
just feel like I Have to know everything you

00:54:37.500 --> 00:54:40.639
don't have to know everything. I don't know everything

00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:43.420
But I'm gonna teach you what I know and I'm gonna

00:54:43.420 --> 00:54:46.000
teach you what works Yeah, I was gonna I was

00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:47.619
gonna ask you what do you say to somebody that's

00:54:47.619 --> 00:54:50.150
listening and they you know, they're like scared

00:54:50.150 --> 00:54:55.630
of the stock market or they think that, you know,

00:54:55.869 --> 00:54:58.510
they're going to lose money and they just have

00:54:58.510 --> 00:55:01.730
this anxiety around it. I'll say, do you want

00:55:01.730 --> 00:55:04.989
to stay scared? That's the first thing. Yeah.

00:55:05.230 --> 00:55:06.769
Do you want to stay scared? That's a good question.

00:55:07.710 --> 00:55:11.409
That's a great question. Do you want to stay

00:55:11.409 --> 00:55:14.730
that way? Because how's that working out? Yeah.

00:55:15.210 --> 00:55:17.510
Yeah. Where is it? Where is it? Where is it getting

00:55:17.510 --> 00:55:22.280
you? I always say that to people. Think about

00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:24.840
your financial situation right now. Are you happy

00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:29.000
with it? Can it be better? Because at the end

00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:34.440
of the 12 weeks, you're going to have knowledge

00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:37.519
and a framework that gives you the power to print

00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:40.059
however much money you want to have in your life.

00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:45.699
You don't have it now. And I debunk all of the

00:55:45.699 --> 00:55:48.949
fears that people have. with the stock market.

00:55:49.469 --> 00:55:53.090
And I think within the first three classes, it's

00:55:53.090 --> 00:55:55.829
so practical. Like you have to remember, when

00:55:55.829 --> 00:55:58.909
I first learned this, I was teaching it to a

00:55:58.909 --> 00:56:02.510
10 year old, right? So 10 year olds are very

00:56:02.510 --> 00:56:06.530
unforgiving in, you know, the way they say things

00:56:06.530 --> 00:56:08.809
and the way that they interpret things. They'd

00:56:08.809 --> 00:56:11.449
be like, Ma, that didn't make any sense. Do it

00:56:11.449 --> 00:56:15.940
again. Yeah. Come again. Yeah. And so I'm just

00:56:15.940 --> 00:56:18.699
like, there is no pulling the mom card with a

00:56:18.699 --> 00:56:20.739
10 -year -old when you're trying to teach them

00:56:20.739 --> 00:56:22.760
technical analysis. It's either they get it or

00:56:22.760 --> 00:56:26.539
they don't. And so I have to make it practical.

00:56:26.760 --> 00:56:30.820
I have to make it approachable. And that was

00:56:30.820 --> 00:56:32.820
the reason why people were asking, hey, if you

00:56:32.820 --> 00:56:34.440
could teach them, can you teach me? Because they

00:56:34.440 --> 00:56:37.059
would sit through it and they understand. The

00:56:37.059 --> 00:56:40.840
vocabulary is the most intimidating. part of

00:56:40.840 --> 00:56:43.780
technical analysis and so that's what i tackle

00:56:43.780 --> 00:56:47.159
first is the vocabulary so now you know the words

00:56:47.159 --> 00:56:48.960
you know you know what they mean now you can

00:56:48.960 --> 00:56:51.920
speak the language like who wouldn't be intimidated

00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:53.960
if they were put in a classroom with a bunch

00:56:53.960 --> 00:56:57.000
of people speaking japanese you'd be like what

00:56:57.000 --> 00:56:59.860
it sounds like someone's hitting a pot not that

00:56:59.860 --> 00:57:02.039
that's how the language is spoken but i'm just

00:57:02.039 --> 00:57:05.500
saying when you don't know when you don't know

00:57:05.500 --> 00:57:09.690
you don't know so You know for me, I'm a nurse

00:57:09.690 --> 00:57:14.190
by trade, right? So Stock charts look like EKG's

00:57:14.190 --> 00:57:16.369
that weren't telling the right heart rhythm.

00:57:16.929 --> 00:57:22.309
Okay Yeah, and so I had to make it make sense

00:57:22.309 --> 00:57:25.650
and once I made it made sense Then I could now

00:57:25.650 --> 00:57:28.010
teach it to someone in a way that makes sense

00:57:28.010 --> 00:57:32.510
to them So yeah, how do you you get rid of the

00:57:32.510 --> 00:57:36.420
fear you you face it head on? Well, that's exactly

00:57:36.420 --> 00:57:40.199
where I was going, because you have a legacy

00:57:40.199 --> 00:57:44.440
that you want to leave with your children. First,

00:57:44.500 --> 00:57:48.679
I'm going to ask, what legacy or story do you

00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:52.820
wish they have gotten from you from this journey

00:57:52.820 --> 00:57:57.059
that you're on? It changes from time to time.

00:57:57.920 --> 00:58:02.340
But right now, and I sat my boys down not too

00:58:02.340 --> 00:58:06.340
long ago and had this conversation is that your

00:58:06.340 --> 00:58:09.280
current situation isn't forever. You can create

00:58:09.280 --> 00:58:14.119
whatever it is that you want in life, in general,

00:58:14.460 --> 00:58:17.079
and for the future. You just gotta know, you

00:58:17.079 --> 00:58:20.000
have to have focus on what that is. And once

00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:22.000
you're focused on, my mother used to say to me

00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:23.639
all the time, once you know exactly what you

00:58:23.639 --> 00:58:25.739
want, everything against it is gonna come your

00:58:25.739 --> 00:58:29.079
way, right? So prepare for it. The legacy that

00:58:29.079 --> 00:58:32.260
I want to leave for them is nothing is going

00:58:32.260 --> 00:58:35.199
to come easy. Decide on what it is that you want

00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:38.099
and then prepare for everything that's going

00:58:38.099 --> 00:58:40.659
to come against it so that you can face it head

00:58:40.659 --> 00:58:43.920
on. Separate the story from the what's so and

00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:47.739
then push forward. Push forward. That's the legacy.

00:58:47.820 --> 00:58:51.099
Push forward. Always push forward. You know,

00:58:51.099 --> 00:58:53.860
you are not in competition with anybody. You're

00:58:53.860 --> 00:58:57.420
in competition with yourself. The goal is to

00:58:57.420 --> 00:59:01.599
be better today than you were yesterday. And

00:59:01.599 --> 00:59:06.760
do that every single day. I love that. And I'm

00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:09.980
sure that because of who I see you as I know

00:59:09.980 --> 00:59:12.579
that they're, I'm sure that they're getting that

00:59:12.579 --> 00:59:16.460
message. And if we, you know, Jayden, right?

00:59:16.659 --> 00:59:19.320
Oh yeah. That's a powerful young dude right there.

00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:23.519
And I, and I know that he's getting that right.

00:59:23.980 --> 00:59:26.840
Your twins, your other, your young, your daughter.

00:59:27.130 --> 00:59:30.570
and you have older sons, and I know that they

00:59:30.570 --> 00:59:33.329
are looking at you and the power that you're

00:59:33.329 --> 00:59:36.349
showing on this planet and how you continue to

00:59:36.349 --> 00:59:38.530
show up. And when I look at your story, listen

00:59:38.530 --> 00:59:41.809
to your story, the through line here that I continue

00:59:41.809 --> 00:59:47.250
to see is push forward, be resilient, and sometimes

00:59:47.250 --> 00:59:49.829
you have to just be silent and quiet and get

00:59:49.829 --> 00:59:52.250
in alignment with whatever is that you're creating.

00:59:53.090 --> 00:59:58.079
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. With that, what is this

00:59:58.079 --> 01:00:00.659
is going to show in 2026, right? This whole alignment

01:00:00.659 --> 01:00:04.760
shifts series, what would you say to someone

01:00:04.760 --> 01:00:07.659
who's listening to your story? They see you and

01:00:07.659 --> 01:00:12.940
see their story in you. And maybe they're in

01:00:12.940 --> 01:00:15.519
a place where they want to, they're misaligned.

01:00:15.579 --> 01:00:19.400
They want to get alignment and they may have

01:00:19.400 --> 01:00:22.300
picked up some things from this story. What would

01:00:22.300 --> 01:00:26.619
you say to them so that their 2026 is starting

01:00:26.619 --> 01:00:32.519
off in a positive light? What would I say? Well,

01:00:32.579 --> 01:00:36.179
you know, identifying the story is a skill, right?

01:00:36.179 --> 01:00:38.300
For me, I think identifying the story is a skill.

01:00:38.739 --> 01:00:40.559
The first thing I would tell them to do is write

01:00:40.559 --> 01:00:43.340
out what you want the year to look like, right?

01:00:43.340 --> 01:00:46.320
Because if you don't know where you're, if you're

01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:49.179
not mapping it out, how do you know exactly where

01:00:49.179 --> 01:00:53.320
it is that you're going? You know, so, map it

01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:56.460
out. What do you want? Where do you want to go?

01:00:56.840 --> 01:01:00.519
Write that out. And then, once you write it out

01:01:00.519 --> 01:01:04.280
and you look at it, ask yourself the hard questions.

01:01:04.880 --> 01:01:09.360
What am I afraid of? Who can I talk to that will

01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:11.539
get me over this hump? Because you need support.

01:01:12.579 --> 01:01:17.940
Regardless of how powerful I am. It was people

01:01:17.940 --> 01:01:21.219
like you. It's people like... you know tawny

01:01:21.219 --> 01:01:26.300
and and people like that you come across that

01:01:26.300 --> 01:01:29.960
experience you and talk you through the things

01:01:29.960 --> 01:01:36.000
that are keeping you stuck you know and so ask

01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:38.679
yourself the hard questions what am i afraid

01:01:38.679 --> 01:01:42.280
of here because guess what a lot of my fear was

01:01:42.280 --> 01:01:45.099
of my own success you know when you when you're

01:01:45.099 --> 01:01:47.300
going into chartered territory that you've never

01:01:47.300 --> 01:01:50.840
been before you feel like an imposter and imposter

01:01:50.840 --> 01:01:54.440
syndrome is real and a lot of people are afraid

01:01:54.440 --> 01:01:58.699
of imposter syndrome like you know stop the future

01:01:58.699 --> 01:02:03.659
like i'm a nurse by trade mother of six you know

01:02:03.659 --> 01:02:07.599
i'm from the caribbean you know my fear was somebody

01:02:07.599 --> 01:02:09.619
was gonna raise their hand in the class and say

01:02:09.619 --> 01:02:12.420
why should i learn from you you know what i'm

01:02:12.420 --> 01:02:16.400
saying you shouldn't you don't have to you know

01:02:16.460 --> 01:02:18.500
You should learn from me because what I'm teaching

01:02:18.500 --> 01:02:21.559
you is what I know works, right? But I was afraid

01:02:21.559 --> 01:02:25.800
of that. And it wasn't until I came face to face

01:02:25.800 --> 01:02:29.239
with I'm afraid that somebody's gonna think I'm

01:02:29.239 --> 01:02:32.199
a fraud was I able to see all the ways that I

01:02:32.199 --> 01:02:35.360
wasn't. You know, I work hard. I did my research.

01:02:35.960 --> 01:02:38.920
I taught people. There's people out there now

01:02:38.920 --> 01:02:41.559
trading because of what I taught them. And I'm

01:02:41.559 --> 01:02:44.119
never professing to teach people how to trade.

01:02:44.429 --> 01:02:48.150
I'm teaching them how to read the charts. They're

01:02:48.150 --> 01:02:51.789
self -made because of what they now know. A lot

01:02:51.789 --> 01:02:54.769
of people can't get into certain conversations

01:02:54.769 --> 01:02:57.289
because they automatically don't believe that

01:02:57.289 --> 01:03:02.150
they even deserve to be there. Where you're wanting

01:03:02.150 --> 01:03:06.510
to go, do you believe that you have a right to

01:03:06.510 --> 01:03:10.250
be there? Answer that for yourself. When you

01:03:10.250 --> 01:03:13.409
come up with those answers, separate the story

01:03:13.409 --> 01:03:18.659
from What's real. And this is why you're here.

01:03:18.980 --> 01:03:24.099
This is the Keisha that shows up and really gets

01:03:24.099 --> 01:03:28.780
to the to the core of of whatever it is of things.

01:03:29.139 --> 01:03:33.659
And this is why you have, you know, your program

01:03:33.659 --> 01:03:36.239
Stuck Up Future. And this is why people listen

01:03:36.239 --> 01:03:38.920
to you and, you know, be coached by you because

01:03:38.920 --> 01:03:45.500
you know how to get there. And so I want to say

01:03:45.500 --> 01:03:51.280
thank you for being here and just being transparent

01:03:51.280 --> 01:03:55.300
and sharing, sharing your life, sharing what

01:03:55.300 --> 01:04:00.719
you're up to and giving this, you know, our podcast

01:04:00.719 --> 01:04:04.699
that much more just credibility and greatness

01:04:04.699 --> 01:04:07.079
because of who you are and what you bring to

01:04:07.079 --> 01:04:10.960
the podcast. So thank you for being here and

01:04:10.960 --> 01:04:14.599
it's just, it's a pleasure. I mean, it's at the

01:04:14.599 --> 01:04:16.800
hour, it's over the hour, but we could go, I

01:04:16.800 --> 01:04:21.219
could go some more. And I got the time, you know,

01:04:21.300 --> 01:04:23.780
so yeah, I understand. I completely understand.

01:04:24.179 --> 01:04:29.159
And I thank you for inviting me, you know. You

01:04:29.159 --> 01:04:30.820
know, you never look at your life as something

01:04:30.820 --> 01:04:34.360
that other people couldn't learn from until someone

01:04:34.360 --> 01:04:39.400
tells you what they got from it. And I'm in a

01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:42.960
position now where I realized that what I've

01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:46.599
experienced and how I've overcome has helped

01:04:46.599 --> 01:04:50.380
a lot of people. And so I always want to be in

01:04:50.380 --> 01:04:53.960
a space where I can contribute to someone else's

01:04:53.960 --> 01:04:58.340
growth. And so I thank you immensely for giving

01:04:58.340 --> 01:05:02.119
me the opportunity to use this platform to do

01:05:02.119 --> 01:05:05.360
just that. Contribute to someone else who wants

01:05:05.360 --> 01:05:07.980
to find alignment, who wants financial freedom,

01:05:08.500 --> 01:05:12.880
who wants to get unstuck. Right? Because everyone

01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:15.699
wants to do better. Everyone wants better for

01:05:15.699 --> 01:05:18.199
themselves, for their children, for their future.

01:05:18.460 --> 01:05:20.900
And we should all have it. And if there's someone

01:05:20.900 --> 01:05:23.360
out there that can teach us how to get access

01:05:23.360 --> 01:05:27.460
