Oh sunshine, I wanna day in all night, I'll day in all night, yeah, sunshine.
We are here.
Episode 10, you guys.
We are here.
We are officially in.
We are both, me and you, are in the two digits.
Okay?
That means we are growing up.
We have matured from being a child.
Okay?
Our one through nine stages over.
We are officially in the two digit numbers.
Let's get it started, baby.
We are maturing, okay?
One through nine was fun.
It was fun.
It was the intro.
It was the attention grabber.
We are officially at 10.
It's time to grow, truly.
It's time to grow your vocabulary, et cetera.
Okay?
So, episode 10, you guys.
With your girl, Cecile.
Yes, sister, Cecile.
Because what?
Shit, that's just life.
Okay, you guys.
So, with this episode, we will be talking about when to start.
Versus when to stop.
Okay?
So, when I ask that question specifically,
I'm only letting you guys know where I am in my journey of 26.
I'll let you guys know in the past a little about me,
but I will do a recap, okay?
You all ready?
All right?
So, my goal is to help anyone who is 26 or even younger
or even just trying to navigate through life without parental guidance
or, hey, little to none, okay?
Yes, things may get complicated.
And yes, not every single special or non-special things
that happen or occur during the journey
as a reason that you may understand, okay?
You may understand everything you may understand because some stuff is left for God to understand, okay?
Not for you.
Also, I'm here to remind you guys, anyone listening, my listeners,
because shit, that is just life, family here.
The faith and fear does not live together, okay?
So, you can't have faith and you can't have fear at the same time.
Darling, it doesn't work.
Not at all.
It's not the key.
But you know what is the key?
Perseverance.
Perseverance is the key, guys.
Persevere through it, get through it, melt through the journey,
understand what you just came from, take back for a second,
step back for a second and kind of actually soak in what just happened.
Process everything.
Process your thoughts.
Process your feelings.
Process the lesson.
Process it all, literally, okay?
It's kind of hard to persevere through something if we haven't processed what just happened, okay?
So, I'm ready to get into episode 10.
I will be doing all the talking.
Yes, I will be doing all the talking.
Because I'm ready to start, you guys.
I'm ready.
But before we start, I want us to get into some jams this morning.
I'll turn those from jams for us to kind of loosen our bones on this lovely Wednesday.
You know?
Seriously, I'm ready to get down to the nitty gritty.
I'm ready to help y'all, help me.
Let's figure out when to start versus when to stop, okay?
When to start trying versus when to stop trying, darling.
Okay?
When to start asking for help versus when to stop asking for help.
You know?
I really need clarity.
I've been thinking long and hard about this last night.
I started to do this episode last night.
But my energy wasn't there, but my brain was.
But my energy wasn't.
My brain was.
So, it's fine.
You guys are here with me now.
I need guidance.
I want to talk.
I want to chit chat.
I want to tell you what I came up with after having all these thoughts, okay?
And then I need your feedback.
I need to know to you versus someone, if you're older than me, somebody that's been my age
and no longer my age, I would love to know what's the best time for you versus when to
start, when to stop.
What was the best time for you to start something?
Stopping something.
Start engaging with family.
Stop engaging with family.
Start taking yourself serious when it comes to life goals and really just being serious
on credit and truly for seeing your future.
They actually, when you're going to be a five year, you have an adult.
You're like, hey, if nothing goes wrong, then these are my projections.
Okay?
So, I want to know when to start versus when to stop.
We about to get started though.
I'm going to turn on some jams, baby.
All right?
Let's turn on some jams real quick, all right?
Because that is just life.
This life shit just happens.
You're just supposed to persevere.
Plus, speaking of persevere, the website is out.
The merch is dropped.
Winter, fall, lovers, go get your crew neck sweaters.
Okay?
Yeah.
If you are a lover of winter and fall and you love fashion, of course, my website is
for you.
The link will be at the bottom.
All right?
So, I'm going to play a little song.
I'm going to let us listen to some tunes for a second before we get into episode 10.
When to start versus when to stop.
That shit, that's just life, you guys.
All righty.
All right?
So, I'm going to let us listen to some tunes for a second before we get into episode 10.
All right?
So, I'm going to let us listen to some tunes for a second before we get into episode 10.
All right?
Okay.
That was Paris MacIQ with the jams, with the Afro beats mixed up with a little bit of R&B.
That alternative, I like that.
I really like that.
So, that was the vibe for Wednesday.
Now, let's get serious.
Let's get down to the episode 10.
When to stop versus when to start.
Or when to start versus when to stop.
Either way, let's figure it out, baby.
Okay?
That shit, that is just life.
All righty.
So, you all, these thoughts were going in my brain last night.
I mean, they were balding, just growing, growing every second.
The thoughts were, of course.
The thoughts that I were having were questions.
But not just questions, I also am ready to figure out the answers with you all.
They say sometimes you just need to say stuff out loud, hear your own shit out loud,
and then you'll have, you know, more better answers for yourself.
Okay?
So, last night, I was trying to figure out when to start and when to stop.
When do I start collaborating with others?
The networks of the entrepreneurs of this.
When do I start?
When do I actually start connecting with others?
The question, and I had that question because so many people have been different people.
I won't say so many, not so many because let me humble myself, you guys.
It has not been many.
But a lot of people, a nice piece of change, people have tried to work with me.
And they have an idea and or a concept like Trump does of what they want to do with their business.
You know, they actually haven't started, they've bought things and they've invested in, you know,
but they haven't put anything out that would indicate that they even had a business.
So you wouldn't even only had a business until they came to you to show you they had a business.
So, I'm like, when do I start collaborating with people?
And I would love, love, love to collaborate with someone who has persevered through tough times.
You know, that's just my goal right now.
I'm persevering through this journey of starting my own podcast, having my clothing line on the side,
or actually having my podcast on the side because my clothing line is my baby.
So having my podcast, having my clothing line, being a government worker that is trying to ease her way to get out.
And I'm persevering through a lot of things.
My biggest perseverance was something that happened in my government issue over there.
I had to persevere and I had to keep fighting through a situation.
And during my fight, I wanted to give up.
I was like, okay, I feel defeated. I feel like the whole point of this is to show me that you have the power and I have nothing.
What I don't believe that.
But maybe this is what it is.
So I'm trying to figure out when do you start fighting back?
When do you stop?
When do you start collaborating with others?
Although they haven't continued to put out work, buying things and putting out work is two different things.
So I'm trying to, and I'm not trying to be judgmental, you guys.
It's just what it is, unfortunately.
So I'm not even rushing to work with others as much as you might see me asking you guys.
It's a process. So I am very, being very patient because the last thing I want to do is be thrown into the lion's den and not be able to be ready.
So I am persevering through the journey, trying to figure out when I start and when do I stop collaborating with others.
You know, haven't started yet. So you don't have a stop yet.
But I'm just trying to figure out when do I start, you know.
Does it make sense to collaborate with someone who is only willing to buy the merch or willing to record but not actually put the episode out?
Like, it's a lot.
So I'm trying to figure out what do you do?
When do you start versus when do you stop?
You guys, I need your help. Okay.
Also, I've been trying to figure out when do I start asking others for assistance.
You know, I, it's so much research whenever you're in a new journey because when you turn around, ask someone else for help.
There is, there is. They don't know.
Well, we shouldn't be surprised. It's totally okay, especially if they never have done what it is that you're actually doing.
No one has ever even tried to go this route in life.
It's totally okay if somebody says they don't know.
I really, you tell me you don't know, then a lot of me.
But with those, I don't know. I don't get far.
It's fine, but it's not. So that's why I'm here.
I am trying to persevere and figure out when do I start reaching out and like putting myself out there more to collaborate with others.
If you guys listen to Cameron Cammie Crawford relationship, that's my girl.
I'm gonna, I'd love to connect with her.
Give me a second though. She just came from Catfish, the MTV TV show.
And I know she needs a second to kind of get her brain together after that political stunt, but it's fine.
I would love to connect with her. I love listening to Ray Daniels.
I would love to sit and connect with him because I noticed as I hear his podcast, the journey versus artist journey versus a regular old Schmagal old civilian.
There's no difference.
It's not really a difference between a regular Schmagal old civilian and an artist, an artist or a regular Schmagal old civilian and a government worker.
We are all one. Okay. There's no real difference. No big difference here.
So I'm dying to sit down with these people.
Joe Button podcast is hilarious. I love them.
It's horrible decisions. We will meet you.
So many different podcasts I would like to connect with. Just hilarious. Just with a mess.
It's just so many people I would like to connect with and watching these people persevering through their journeys, hearing them talk about their journeys.
And learning that perseverance could possibly mean figuring out yourself.
Although there is a specific definition for persevering, it feels like it means figure out yourself and then if you're willing to share the journey, go ahead.
But figure it out. First these first, figure it out.
They say ask three, then ask me. So that's why I'm feeling like when I come to that, when do I start and when do I stop?
Asking three to get to that final person because I'm feeling like I'm asking everybody, but the person I want to be asking questions to.
But I also feel like it's a journey to get there, to be sitting down with the people I want to sit down with.
Viola Davis, Kerry Washington, Desiree Washington. Just different people with journeys.
They talked about their journeys. I've read some of these people books about their journeys.
I've listened to their podcast here about their, not just their artistry journey, but the journey outside, the personal journey.
So I am in my journey, you guys. I am in my ruts of figuring out when to stop and when to start.
You know, when do you guys start taking yourself serious? When did you start taking yourself serious?
When did you look up and be like, you know what? I create my own future.
A happy ending won't happen if I don't do X, Y and Z. This may be it.
When did you decide that you wanted to start actually living towards the future you first saw for yourself?
You first seen for yourself. I'm curious. Please engage with your gal. Okay.
I need to know. So see you on the channel. Also, I'm also wondering when do you guys stop thinking specifically there's more to be done.
When is enough enough? When do you know that this is, you know what? All right, we're gonna stop here because I noticed some people journey is different.
And I definitely don't want to be working on my life.
I think I I'm creating my end goal at the moment. That's I'm also in the journey of when learning when to stop learning when to start and how to create the end goal.
Like what is your purpose? What is your real purpose? What is the reason that you're going to work for?
What is it for? If it's just to make $5 right then in there. Okay. But after that $5 is made, you know, what is your purpose?
So I'm trying to figure that out for myself here, people.
What was your purpose? You guys have you decided what your purpose is? Have you conjured that up? God have came into your life and giving you your purpose?
Yes, no, baby. Okay. I want to know. All right. I would truly like to know when did you tell yourself to start focusing back on yourself remaining, remaining focus on yourself.
Go back to health, self care, put the job down for a second, put the entrepreneur had over to the side for a second. When do you start? When do you stop when it comes to self care, self love?
You know, when do you stop to go back and pick up that entrepreneur hat? I need now. All right.
Um, outsiders has told me in the past, well, everybody's journey is different, you know.
So that I do know I am aware that all our journey journeys are different. But as a girl who was 26, navigating through life without parental guidance, without with little to none.
Anyone else besides me, with just without little to none of parental guidance, when did you guys know when to stop and start?
It helps me because I can may or may not be like, okay, I want to be like that. Okay, I don't want to be like that.
So I look at things like that, like, okay, you got options and having more answers gives me more options. All right. Because sometimes I'm thinking this is it, it, it, it, it, it, it.
And I don't want to overthink like that, you guys. Okay.
I don't want to think that we that I, you know, just one little situation trumps it all. I used to think that one little failure was over.
If I failed my driver's test and I was a kid, I was never driving ever. Although that wasn't true.
But sometimes I tend to overthink like that. So that's why you guys are here to slow me down. All right.
But I've opened up to you guys about what I've been thinking about. Like I stated, where do we start? Where do we stop? Where do we start digging into our family's drama trying to get our family as one?
When do we stop? When do we stop trying? When do we be like, okay, you know what, I might have to just love on y'all on Tuesdays, call y'all on Wednesday and Friday.
We can connect more on Sundays. So I'll call y'all on Sunday.
When, you know, I do think it's like a feeling. Maybe it's a feeling that you got ever, you know, someone may get, you got the feeling to this stop.
I'm curious how does it work? Is it a thought before I get to the overthinking part?
What are some remedies that can help me figure out when to stop versus when to start?
I will have questions for you guys in the bio. Okay. As you're listening, I need you to reach out to your gal, my Instagram or my email.
The information would be on the, you know, in the bio here. You guys, please engage. I'm 26, call it now for help.
Well, just relax. I'm not really calling now for help, but I am looking for guidance.
I want to know how y'all do things too. I want to know the do's and do nots.
When the tango, when the salsa. Okay.
But I have fun releasing to you guys about when to stop and when to start. Let me know when do you start and when do you stop?
Okay. I will leave questions for you all. I will leave you guys with some nice James because I know you don't like the James.
I do. I love the James. A little just kind of gets my mental on another level. I'm able to really move and disconnect for a second and shake my tail feather.
And remember, I'm only 26. So yes, I'm going to end this out and we're going to dance in love because what?
Shit. That's just life podcast with your gal, your sister, Cecil. Okay.
If you need anything, if you got any answers for me, Instagram is made by CECIL. Underscore.
I love you all. You love me. That's why you're listening. I hope. Okay.
Shit. That's just life listeners. This was episode 10. We are maturing every day is attorney. We are persevering because we are persistent.
All right. We're going to continue to grow effortlessly in abundance. Okay.
That was fun. I am out because what? Shit. That's just life. Bye.
That's it.
