Are we here? Are we here? We are here! But yet
I'm showing up every day as possible. I'm thriving.
I attended pop -up shops. Two pop -up shops,
okay? You know? So I'm coming to the UK. I'm
coming just for vacation. So meeting more creators,
I was able to meet sisters that have a business.
Baby, we out here thriving, okay? We're coming
together. We're putting our heads together. We're
coming to figure it out, and I think we all are,
you know, believe it or not, persevering through.
You know, we're persevering through. Yeah, you
guys, I'm not sure if you've been looking at
any news lately, but lately I've seen the news
of Stephen A. Smith saying that he wants to run
for president. Little do we know we are persevering
through life Welcome we're here. We're here.
We're here. I think we're back. We are here cameras
are on action is going Okay Episode 50 we are
here you guys welcome back episode 50 with your
girl your favorite life coach here Cecile Yeah,
cuz shit. That's just life. Yes. We are literally
an episode 50 today was a day I literally had
my own agenda But then life starts life in you
know what I'm saying. That's the thing about
life You could make plans, but then plans start
making you Mm -hmm. I want to say that one because
I woke up today excited about Getting my deep
cleaning done you guys I'm just taking self -care
to a whole other level each and every day. I'm
cranking it up. Okay, so excuse me. Excuse me.
I took Went and took my appointment since we
said it but got there and Basically was told
that that deep cleaning would be at least $500
now darling You know The price wasn't the problem
But the problem was, if I do indeed have $500,
do I want to give it all to you guys in one facility?
No. So, I was talking to my fella, my boyfriend,
my novio, my boyfriend in the UK of course, my
English gentleman. He was telling me, hey babe,
just come on over here and get your deep cleaning
done. It's like a hundred such -and -such bucks.
And here we are in the U .S. paying 500 bucks
for deep cleaning. You know? I'm sick of this.
What was more upsetting is that I as a government
worker has to pay 500 bucks for deep cleaning.
If anything, I should be getting some type of
Queen Sheba rewards. You know what I'm saying?
I need the same treatment. the Queen England,
the Queen of England gets like, I literally work
for the government. Like, what the heck? I should
be getting some type of pamperment treatment.
You know, I should be getting royalties. You
know, a little, I should be invited to the tea,
you know what I'm saying, the tea parties. But
yet, I'm getting charged, hit with a 500 bill
for just deep blaming. And that's just not even
including tighten up the teeth people. You know?
It's fine. Shit, that's just life. It's probably
worse out here. Episode 50. I'm gonna get started.
Because you know what? I had to find a song to
help me calm down through all that to get through
the beautiful episode here, okay? So I did, of
course, and I'm gonna share with you guys, you
know I always do, you know? I'm a loyal civilian,
okay? Because life is life and out there. A lot
of things are out of our control. Definitely
out of my control. But yet I'm showing up every
day as possible. I'm thriving. I attended pop
-up shops. Two pop -up shops, okay? I attended
two pop -up shops. I have prospered between both
of those pop -up shops. So it's been a lovely
journey, minus my deep cleaning situation. It's
been a lovely journey. All right for this episode
50 Like I said, I'm gonna play the music I'm
gonna play the song that got me going for today
For episode 50 because your girls working hard
your life coaches out here life in all right
coaching folks Giving people advice. All right,
and I'm still loving it yet. I'm still life in
every day yet I'm still going through trials
and tribulations They don't want to give your
sister a break, but I'm fine. Okay. I'm a baddie.
I'm going to show up anyway. All right. I'm not
like everybody else. They're not like me. All
right. So the song that had me going in, we're
going to shout out to the JBP podcast because
they put me on this one here. I usually wouldn't
shout folks out, but I'm not going to be stingy.
Yep. I'm not going to be stingy. The song that
had me going to get this pod, just up and going,
getting this pod, you know, cranking, we cranking
it up here, all right, was Endangered Innocence
by Lloyd Banks. So I'll let you guys hear it.
We'll get started. We'll start podding after
you guys hear this, all right? Just a little
bit afterwards, all right? Sometimes I laugh
and cry when thinking about my days as a kid.
Highlights was watching TV shows and music played
in the crib. It shook my mind up. Morning show
train, we did the lineup. Used to look forward
to games from my cousin when I could find him.
Grew up in my grandma house, was the kind with
the open door. Birthdays had to appreciate, still
hoping for more. Cortez, Nikes, and Adidas Reeboks.
I love my sneakers, but Obama's with the collar
furred up. Watch how I freak this, gotta make
it out the bottom, cause shit, with all these
speeches got me questioning if change is gonna
come. Could even reach us, hold up, shout out
my team. that actually taught me something. All
the influential artists that had my walkman bumpin',
uh. Nigga, the Havoc and Prodigy, see, they changed
my life. Frank White and Escobar, they made me
nice. That Snoop Doggy style was worth the price.
Now I feel like I gotta study shit. I'ma begin
a night. I wouldn't change shit. Everything we
went through made me who I am now, one of the
same kids. Every day's a struggle, all the bullshit
pals, I got to make it. I'm gonna let you guys
tune into the rest Like I said, Lloyd Banks.
All right, it was the endangered innocence that
got me going today Because life is life in every
time you trying to persevere through something
there is something on the line trying to stop
you darling. Yeah there is a trial there is a
tribulation there's always something all right
we're gonna continue to persevere though okay
i'm not gonna give up i hope you don't so yes
let's get into it um the week has been weakening
yes yeah yeah yeah i'm gonna take these bad boys
off the week has been weakened mcgala oh you

to that one I was not invited to 2025's Met Gala,
yet I saw all the beautiful celebrities. Yes.
Issa Rae, my girl Issa Rae, you looked beautiful.
She was stunning. The way her skin was just glistening
through those clothes. Like she could've came
naked, but she didn't. But she could've. That's
what I'm saying. She could've came naked. There
was so many celebrities there, people. I literally
have a list. Yeah, it was a good night to just
sit back and watch all these celebrities, just
celebs. I even went back to go reminisce on 2015's
Met Gala with Rihanna, you know, her beautiful
dress back then. I went to go reminisce on that
one. It was a pretty beautiful scenery. Lauren
London, she should have been there. Lauren Hill
did the job. I was still waiting on Lauren, but
Lauren Hill did the job because she was looking
beautiful. She had that beautiful, just beautiful
yellow over there, you know, still waiting on
a few celebrities to pop up and show me what
they got. Rihanna, you showed up like the mother
goddess you are. It was just beautiful. You know,
the Met Gala 2025 was pretty beautiful while
we're going through this. big exchange in generation
of history at the moment. It's good to have the
Met Gala. It's good to see people still getting
out there, showing up, dressing up, rushing to
events. I rushed to this here. I didn't really
rush, but sometimes I will rush one day when
I have so many things to do on my agenda. So
the thing is, it was just nice to see everybody
show up, be beautiful, and really thrive, okay?
Rihanna and her Fenty are just thriving out here.
And being another mother, again, of what, three?
Four? Three? Okay. They were looking beautiful,
okay? So, she was just thriving in that lovely
outfit, Andre 3000, thriving in that beautiful,
beautiful piano. I've never seen someone just
carry a piano like that and just look lovely.
Everybody's skin is looking great. I'm just looking
past the outfits because I'm a fashion designer
and once the outfits is outfitting, we're good
to go. I'm now looking at the skin for health,
okay? So everybody's looking good, looking healthy.
Life is still life -ing, but I love to see everybody
is just growing, okay? Outside of the Met Gala

to travel your girl is getting ready to travel
To the UK Okay, the UK is coming to me. No, I'm
sorry. I'm coming to the UK Okay, I'm coming

what I call it you know when you're not moving
somewhere you're just dipping your pinky toe

I want to see what it is that I can indulge with
what can I create create Over there in the UK,
you know, how could your girl? Your favorite
life coach here, you know cuz shit that's just
life. How can we persevere in the UK? We don't

there. I'll be there I'm gonna pray everybody
is there with me. Okay, but we're taking this
beautiful scenery to the UK for a vacation, okay?
I'm gonna do a little content creating. I'm gonna
explore. I will let nature be nature. Let me
be me. I'm excited, you know? Truly don't get
enough time to travel, as much as I would love
to, but going to the UK is going to be a challenge
as well for me. The major challenge for me is
to see How will people react to a guy like me?
You know, because I feel like the UK folks may
be a tad bit stuck up, but I'm not sure yet.
They may be fun. You know, I'm just may just
be I personally just may be judging a book by
its color. I haven't been there yet, but I'll
give you better answers when I get there. OK,
so I'm excited about going to the UK, excited
to see what the UK will bring, you know. I'm
excited. I'm in nervous at the same time, but
I'm more excited than ever okay, cuz life is
life in right now, and I need to see What is
beyond my horizon? I don't know about you guys,
but I need to see what's been beyond my right
all right But I do want to tell you guys about
the pop -up shop that I had I want to tell you
guys about the different creators I met, different
vendors I met. It was epic. Believe it or not,
it was a lot of black entrepreneurs there. And
I was just, they were black, young, ambitious,
and it was just nice to be in a room of simplicity,
a room of similarity. And it was just fun. It
was just beyond the purpose of why I'm here.
So it was just lovely to really create and come
amongst more creators. So meeting more creators,
I was able to meet sisters that have a business,
two different businesses, a skin care business
and a clothing business. Met a beautiful photographer
that's... Diving into more media production.
You just see the young in expired in maybe we
out here thriving Okay, we're coming together.
We put our heads together. We're coming to figure
it out and I think we all are you know, believe
it or not persevering through So it's nice it
was beautiful to see in person Young people persevering
without even knowing they're persevering, you
know, we think they were just chasing our dreams
and chasing our goals But little do we know we
are persevering through life So it was just a
pleasure it was it was a Immaculate experience
But yeah, I think it's just being great on another
note I want to switch it up here people It's
time to shake it up for a second, so you can
get into the personal. I can tell you what's
personally going on with your girl. You guys,
okay? Let's talk about dating for a second. I've
been dating, right? I tell you that my lovely
spouse is in the UK, and I am not. No, I am in
the US, okay? So we have been having our virtual
date nights, just keeping up with our connections.
And boy, it has been a challenge. Okay? So, it's
not always perfect, you know? Playing a date
night, somebody shows up and or they don't show
up properly, you know? But I think it just really
shows both of us how much we truly don't need
each other. We just truly want each other, you
know? You really get clarity from the wants and
the needs when you're... Dealing with something
that's at a far, you know, but yet it's still
close. How crazy is that? You know, so the clarity
of seeing that we truly don't Need each other.
We truly just want each other makes us want each
other even more It's been a journey though, because
I'm ready to get to the UK, you know, I'm ready
for my man to be a man Okay, I'm sorry. But yeah,
I'm ready to get to the UK I'm ready to explore
I'm ready to explore more English, more English
gentlemen. I'm ready to explore how they talk,
how they react to situations. I'm ready to judge.
I'm ready to be like, the U .S. would never,
you know? Yeah, I'm ready. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I've been I've been looking down on the
U .S. because when you in something for so long,
it's hard. It's really easy for you to judge.
You know, when you're right up close to that
whale so I'm like let me take a few steps back
from the whale and really just enjoy the color
the blue the detail of the whale and not judge
it so I need to get to another country another
continent oh another place just to really appreciate
where I am you know what I'm saying so I'm excited
Life has been life and people I'm not gonna stop
thriving. I'm not gonna stop growing With the
challenges of just dating from afar people. I
think it's a great test, you know Never in my
great mind did I think I would be able to do
it, but I think it is it's doable It's uh, it's
not I don't think I know it's doable, you know,
not only did Daddy from afar give me a great
opportunity to focus on myself and stay focused
on myself It gave me opportunity to get to know
my partner. Just listening, you know I can be
very distracted sometimes if the skin is skinning
and the man is manning But I'm listening people.
I am using my ears using my mouth to communicate
But, I will be able to see him in person soon.
We will reunite really soon, my darling. Okay?
Um, yeah. Just balancing all my new challenges
has been a journey. You get what I'm saying,
people? But I like juggling. I've always liked
juggling. You know, I've never been an actual
clown or been in a circus, but I've always loved
the thought of trying to juggle one too many
things at a time and then maybe dropping something.
Then maybe you catch it again and trying it again.
So I've always loved actually juggling, you know
to a certain expense Like I say anything in life
is great to a certain expense. All right so other
than that like be like be I'm getting through
it though, you know a Lovely art show I attended
on Was I think that was Sunday I attended a lovely
art show on Sunday and in Dallas I see nothing
but beautiful art. I'm talking about beautiful
art. Do you hear me? I was up there browsing
and I me as an artist I typically don't like
to get out too much because I'm like I don't
want to be somewhere and then can't buy it. The
moment I see that art I'm gonna feel like it's
a need not a want a need. So then I had to call
my boyfriend and tell him that whatever house
we ever get in life We will need these artists
art But specifically there was a beautiful Butterfly
you get what I'm saying? There was a beautiful
butterfly that you use as a like a lamp a lamp
cover and It was just stunning. You get what
I'm saying? The art of it behind it stunning
and And I was just like, these people come from
New Mexico, Delaware, Colorado, just everywhere
you can think of. Arizona, they come from everywhere
to sell their art in Dallas. And some people
are truly diving into only doing it for a peer,
a peer just all day situation. full -blown entrepreneur
on selling their art. Some people just do it
for hobby, some of those folks really are just
selling to become a full entrepreneur. Baby,
the art was artin'. I have pictures, I have examples.
You guys, you see, the art is arting. It was
just impeccable. My favorite piece of art was
the people playing sorry, trying to figure out
the game sorry. Trying to If I could like really
reiterate how I noticed this image and when I
saw this image what I truly saw was The people
Everyone trying to figure out how to fix the
sorry You know everyone in this photo. I just
I just envisioned like okay If you had to pick
some words to go with the photo, it would be
everyone Trying to fix the sorry, you know because
I'm I find myself saying it every day I'm starting
to feel sorry for folks people don't read nowadays
when they can I'm starting to feel sorry, you
know, so imagine just trying to fix the sorry,
you know, that's what I got from that little
picture artists crazy people Life is life in
out there and these artists is just catching
up and putting it on a big beautiful platform
Okay, so it was beautiful to just go around and
get out for myself personally on that Sunday
and dive into art. Nice to see the beautiful
different arts is just all over the place, you
know, having getting people's business cards
and all that good stuff here. It was beautiful.
Love Lee. Lovely, lovely, lovely. Had I just
really enjoyed that our show me and my twin.
We went together. And it was just unfortunate
that, it was very unfortunate that when we got
there, we ended up dividing because I just got
lost in the south of art. I saw one picture,
I couldn't stop. Then saw another picture, saw
another painting, saw another portrait everywhere.
I was just all over the place. Turned around,
my sister was gone. Couldn't get a hold of her.
We were lost my twin. Yeah, we were lost. I was
gone. I was lost I was lost in the sauce called
her finally got a hold of her finally and She's
like girl. I just went home. I Was like well,
I'm still here At the art show Thinking you just
went to the bathroom, but she did she just went
home. So found her went home with her because
eventually she came back to come get me. I had
not only enjoyed the art, enjoyed the food. Yeah,
of course there was multiple food trucks. I got
a few plates, got a few foods and couldn't walk
home because I had too much food. But partially
it's because I had a partner with me. I assume
if I was going to be limping, my partner was
going to have me because she didn't went home
early. I could barely walk off of two hot dogs.
It was just so crazy, but it was a beautiful
day. It was lovely. It was a beautiful day. OK.
But on the on the note here, just wrapping it
up on that story, I just enjoy the art. I enjoy
watching people come out. There was a man who
made flowers out of like steel, copper, like.
Metal who does this like this stuff was just
impeccable. So I was just like, okay steel metal
Flowers, you know, if you if you can make this
this literally shows me simplicity You can make
this you can make anything, you know, so it was
just crazy. It was beautiful But it was just
a reality check for me. Yeah people are out here
persevering All right, and they don't even know
it yeah yeah yeah yes yes yes so that was that
was something uh yeah you guys i'm not sure if
you've been looking at any news lately but lately
i've i've seen the news of stephen a smith saying
that he wants to run for president and i think
donald trump kind of gave him like the uh okay
you know the uh you know attaboy I'm not sure
how that's gonna work out my boy Stevie and I
think it was just more of a you know situation
where Donnie knows he may win and It doesn't
hurt for him to you know toy with my guy, but
we're gonna hope it's nothing like that, right?
Those are just I would say accusations accusations
so Allegations and we won't think that there's
anything true just elegant allegations. All right
Nothing that Stephen A is saying is currently
true. We're gonna hope right? Mm -hmm. Yeah,
no, we're gonna hope that just after all of this
Stephen A doesn't want to get in there and just
Lose any hair. He already is losing or having
or growing or whatever Babe, that's not the party
you want to go into babe, you know now maybe
go into gardening I don't know a presidential
is the way but gardening sounds, you know, just
a little less stressful still pretty Yet it's
still Within service. We all can look at some
beautiful flowers. It's within service. Okay,
so I don't want Stephen a to go too crazy with
that one there But I can honestly say for me
at the age of 27 It has been a blast to be it
just feels very empowering to know It feels empowering
to know what's going on in life, it feels empowering
to know how my country works, the US works. Now
it's nothing I can do sometimes, but then there
are things I can do considering I know more than
I've ever known before. Let's just say that one
there. So it feels empowering to know, but then
there's just the lack of Do you fight or do you
fall in line? You know But I don't think you
ever fall in line. I think you need to know when
to fight and when to patiently wait Let go let
go and let God you know folks. I tried to do
that so it's just empowering to know the unknown
empowering to come become familiar with the uncertainty
You know and that's just for me It's been feeling
very empowering to grow. Have my team, you know,
give my team compliments. They give me compliments.
Have a village. Very empowering. Your girl is
ready to keep trailing. She's ready to keep cranking
it up. Okay, we're just at episode 50. Like I

didn't lie. Yeah, being great is a lot, but being
great is great. So yeah, it's a lot. It's a journey,
but it is great. Wanting to be more than you
ever have thought you could be is even more empowering,
you know? of knowing when to have that balance
of knowing when to rest is even more empowering,

do it all. I feel like I've done it all. So doing
