I totally understand the fact that it's just
so much to teach us civilians. It's so much we
need to learn. It's just so much. Like, if it's
not one thing, it's another. We can't be told
what to do. When you hate when someone younger
is educating you, it's always something. Welcome,
welcome, welcome, welcome back. Episode 62 with
your girl, your favorite life coach here is Cecil.
Welcome back, you guys. I'm back. I'm better.
I'm ready. Okay. I hope you guys have been doing
well out there. A little life update for you
guys from me. I am, like I stated, if you were
listening on the last couple episodes there on
the pod, your girl will be moving soon. Your
girl will be heading to England, you know, getting
some hot tea. Yeah, uh -huh. I'm gonna head to
England, gonna have fun. I'm excited, truly,
ready to see what the people have to offer. You
know, I went there in June, and maybe, let me
tell you, the food, okay, the food was spectacular.
There was real Indians giving out real Indian
food. Okay, that's very rare. Chinese, giving
out Chinese food. It was just real authentic,
okay. I had a great time though, down there.
Truly, I'm ready to go back. The weather, the
weather was perfect. Yeah, I was down there with
my scarves. with my bouquets, everything. I had
my pearls, I was clenching them. Yes, my pinky
was up. Yeah, I was living life down to the fullest
down there, ready to go back, ready to really
explore the weather more in the winter time.
I'm curious to how the weather is in the winter
time. The summertime did not. The summertime
got me where I needed to be, got me through,
got me just feeling free and okay. Your girl
was a girl down there, okay. I had nothing but
breakfast every morning, pastries. I went to
the bakery. It was another life, you know. It
was a good time, a good day, a new life. Okay,
but yeah, it was a good time. I'm ready to go
back and just explore. Really ready to see their
nightlife. I'm ready to see the grown and sexy
vibes, the lounges, and just explore more out
there. You know, be with my man, my man be with
me. I'm ready to get out there a little more.
Curious to see how the girl groups are down there.
You know, the other females. I am looking for
more female friends. I'm not sure how this is
gonna go though, because right now, my main female
friends are my sisters. So now that I'm trying
to step outside just my sisters, we're gonna
see what that looks like, okay? I'm not nervous.
I'm just nervous. So I'm going to see what that
looks like for me to hang out with other people
from other cultures. And yeah, the moment that
they rubbed me the wrong way, I'm going home
to my man. But I'll try again the next day, for
sure. I never give up. So I'm excited about that.
I'm excited just getting out there and helping
my boyfriend remodel. his apartment, because
once I come, we need to redecorate some things.
No, seriously, we do need to redecorate, make
more room for your gals. I have a whole closet
that I will be keeping. I will not be throwing
anything away, so let them know in advance. Everything
that I purchase will be going in your closet,
sir. Okay, I don't know what we're gonna do with
your stuff, but we'll find a way. we will find
a way. I never give up, okay? I'm definitely
ready to just see how potting is going to be
out there. A part of me felt like, should I just
go up to people talking to them? And then I was
like, yeah, you know, I don't have the energy
for that one. So I'm excited to just explore
on a different level to see how different entrepreneurs
help their community grow down there. different
life coaches down there. Let's see what advice
they give to their community to help them thrive
and make them feel more safe and help them laugh
more, okay? Sometimes I feel like we don't laugh
enough, you know? Especially down in England.
I feel like they don't laugh enough down there,
you know? I had a lovely time, but a few of them
were a little, you know, they were a little up
there. They didn't want to laugh about anything.
So I'm, I'm curious to see what gets them going.
What makes them smile a little bit more. You
know, um, a lot of them were, they were really
real intrigued by this American. So I'm ready
to go back. Um, really ready to just navigate
more into it. But yeah, that's just what's going
on with me. You guys leaving the U S. which means
I'll be leaving my twin, my twin sister. I'm
going to be leaving her, but we're going to,
we've been spending so much time together before
I leave, you know, so we're going to keep doing
that, keep just making more memories, keep growing
with each other. And I told her, you know, I'm
just a flight away. But yes, you can just come
on over there. I'm just a flight away. I won't
be far, so. That's just to anybody in the family.
You know, you guys come on over. I won't be rushing
back to Kansas City, but I will go back to Kansas
City eventually. I will see my family and friends
eventually. FaceTime is working perfectly for
now until you guys come on through to Texas and
or England. But you guys, I am going to switch
it up here. Now that I've told you guys a little
life update for me on this wonderful episode
62. I don't know if you guys have been watching
the news, but as someone that is currently going
through a transition from leaving the corporate
world all the way to full -blown entrepreneur
here. I don't know if you guys are watching,
but did you see Mr. You know, our current president,
Mr. Donald Trump, they're about to spend at least
200 million on a ballroom. 200 million on a ballroom.
Now, I don't ask for much, but he can take away
these student loans. That's it. That's all I'm
saying. These student loans and here you are
with a ballroom and you probably got two at feet.
Like, what are we doing here? Like, why are we
spending money and we can't even dance? I'm just
saying here, people. Yeah. All that money could
be going elsewhere. We got health care problems,
SNAP benefits being taken, and he's spending
$200 million on a ball roll. I'm guessing this
was a part of that big, beautiful deal. You know?
So, yeah. This is why England is calling my name
partially as well. Yeah, I just, um... I don't
know what else to do with saying, people, you
know? Shit, that's just life. You know, I'm watching
it right in front of me. And sometimes I tell
you, I feel like I'm just dreaming and I'm not,
you know? Somebody pitched me, you know? But
it's okay. I think if I can persevere through
this, you guys can too. Persevere doesn't look
perfect though, so... Yeah, you know, 200 million
on a ballroom. That's crazy. It's just crazy.
Like, who's invited to this ballroom specifically?
Will I get an invite? Will this be a neighborhood
situation? City by city, be able to invite? Like,
what are we doing 200 million on a ballroom?
Like, this is, this is crazy. It's beyond me,
but I'm gonna move on. It's okay. I'm gonna move
right along. You guys, I also saw that Camilla
Harris, my girl, Ms. Harris, is not running.
She's not running from president. She verbally
is just stating that she's over it, basically.
She didn't say it specifically, but that it's
just the message that I concurred from her. I
don't think she wants to keep just I don't even
want to say fighting because you're not even
fighting anymore. You're throwing glass at a
brick wall at this point. Educating a lot of
civilians to just vote, read more and or just
research. fact check, you know, just do your
fact checking, everything, you know, don't believe
everything you see, you know, find some resources
here, try to back it up. I think she's over trying
to prove the point that we need to stay focused
to the big picture. And I don't blame her. As
somebody that's just going through the transition
from leaving the corporate, I do not blame. Ms.
Harris for saying, you know, this might not be
it, you know. Now, I do hope she's just playing
because she know we need a plan B or C or D right
about right now. But if she's not kidding, then
I totally understand the fact that it's just
so much to teach the civilians. It's so much
we need to learn. It's so much we think we know.
We're so easily to talk. We hardly want to listen.
It's just so much. Like, if it's not one thing,
it's another. We can't be told what to do. You
hate when someone younger is educating you. It's
always something. You know, you just can't win
for losing. So I am not upset with Ms. Harris
saying that she's not willing to run. Oh, my
baby girl, you know, keep your grays. Yeah, don't
get any more gray hair. You can't control everything.
I always tell myself to just know when to not
want to be the hero. Okay. No one to stop trying
to play hero because we're going to need Jesus
at this point. Okay. We've had a great president
of Obama. We had a lovely run with Ms. Harris,
trying her best. And we got Mr. Chomp. So at
this point, we're just gonna need Jesus and I
think we should all be okay with that. Yep. Yep.
That's another one with that one. Now, I don't
know. Lastly, you guys, before we kind of wrap
up episode 62, I don't know if you guys saw the
Shannon Sharp situation here. Shannon Sharp and
Gilbert. Mr. Gilbert Arenas. You know, just two
black men that are, you know, that have built
themselves up, you know, been in the industry
for a very long time. And it's just unfortunate
that they are in such situations. Let's just
say that because I know you guys know they're
out there. To be more specific here now, former
NBA Gilbert Arenas, aka Mr. Agent Zero, has been
hit with federal charges for allegedly running
high stakes underground poker games out of his,
um, Encino Mansion. Okay? So, basically, it's
just including that, hm, there was, like, operated...
illegal gambling businesses from 2021 to 2022.
The feds claimed that arenas rented the house
out and had staged it for games, which featured
chiefs, valets, armed security, and even young
women offering massages and companionship with
the place. Okay. players were charged per pot
and the house was collected as a cut. Well, see,
like I said, unfortunate situations. Yeah. The
thing is, we all know there's always something
going on. You know, I can say that there's always
something more going on in the industry, but
I do... focus on how vast it is us to get busted
and crucified for it, you know, because I can
only imagine how many people are doing the same
thing the same way and or worse. Just that's
just what I'm guessing here. I'm just curious
of what made it come out this year, you know?
I look at timing, especially with the Shannon
Shark here, ESPN cuts ties with Shannon Shark
weeks after announcement with the settlement
with basically his ex -girlfriend who accused
him of sexual assault. He basically did a settlement
there. And I was just like, you know, what a
kwee -kate ink that all this is happening. right
when he's about to get, he's about to get this,
what, $100 million deal? And just what a co -equity
that all this news is happening right when he's
about to thrive. He's about to take off. He's
about to set himself, his family, his neighbors,
you know. He's about to do a lot for himself
and his family in a way. financially. And it's
just unfortunately, it's unfortunate that as
you grow, the more snakes are in the grass, the
more people are willing to just make sure you
don't get to where you get to where you want
to go. You know, it's just like a more money's
more problems. That's really what they mean.
Because these people are thriving and yet it
doesn't stop. You know, I thought as you can
get a little money, People start leaving you
a lot, but that is not the case. The more money
you get, the more they want to come for ya. You
know? So, I'm just gonna advise anybody out there.
Y 'all be careful. You know? Cover your tracks.
C -Y -A. Cover your ass. Okay? In every aspect.
You know? Try not to do nothing. You wouldn't
want to be ashamed of. So I can stay here, people,
because... We're all human. And I say, try to
get to know your people that you're next to.
You know, don't take much at all. I think that's
what it is. Somebody probably always has somebody
in the circle that they thought they could trust,
and then they could, you know? But I think we
all got somebody around us that just might sell
us out for a little something, but we hope they
won't, you know? But I think get to know your
partners, get to know your friends, keep your
friends close to your enemies closer. you know,
that it's not just the same people. I think it's
something you should really think and, you know,
take into account. Yeah, it's just unfortunate
that our black men are being targeted, you know,
but I do pray that our black men move a little
more cautiously because they know that being
black strong and or trying to thrive with all
three is a challenge within itself. You know,
so I just think that going straight before the
juggler and just trying to be successful, hey,
CYA, cover your ass and be a little more cautious.
All right, yeah, be a little more cautious. All
right. So, you know, and the thing is, Cat Williams
and Monique, they were warning Shannon about
all this, you know, wanting him to just kind
of be a little safe around what you do when,
how you do it. That was crazy about which ways
to go when dating, you know, which is a little
more... a little more there on the protective
side of you, you know, which, which sides really
want to make sure that you prosper and you grow,
whether you piss them off or not. Yeah, I think
Cat Williams and Monique kind of try to shove
him towards just, hey, why women is not for you?
They may be for other people, but I don't think
they're for you. You know, we love every girl,
every woman. but I think some folks are not for
some people. I think there were some people out
here giving you a little push for the leadership
of that in the event. Like I said, be a little
more cautious. That's all I can advise people
on from my end here. On my end here, I'm gonna
switch it up lastly, because we're getting to
the end. It's been a great, great week for me.
Besides just preparing to move getting back into
the stoop to yo with you guys Back into the content
world because I'm back in a better Show of the
week for me that shit. That's just life here
people is Beyond the villa love Island. Mm -hmm.
I don't know if y 'all been watching I don't
know if you guys been Tuning in and keeping up
with Janae and Kenny but I I've been keeping
up with Janae and Kenny. Now, none of them called
me directly yet. I'm still waiting on the call.
Don't worry about it, it's coming. But I can
tell you my honest thoughts. My honest thoughts
were I officially thought that Janae was the
issue. by default. Why? Because she's bubbly.
I'm bubbly, you know? So she's bubbly, she's
ready. So, you know, sometimes you just have
to calm down for a second. Especially when dealing
with someone like Kenny. I had to go back and
keep watching the show to release the... Kenny's
character in a way, you know, Kenny character
is one of those fellas that are still Maturing
and not even maturing and when I say maturing
I mean he's maturing in his confidence level
So he's maturing and how well he presents himself
confidently. Well, he you know presents his presence
Masculine Lee How will he speaks up? you know,
put his foot down. He's still maturing in that
area of just level of confidence. Janaye's already
there. She's already surpassed it. She's already,
she knows what she wants. You know, she knows
what she doesn't want. She's dating with intention.
So with that and watching the show, I can honestly
say that Janaye will be fine. Yeah, she's going
to be fine. Now she will mourn their memories.
But I can tell that she had a feeling. Somewhere,
somewhere, she had a little feeling that he's
not truly feeling me and I'm not going to change.
So either he's going to get up here because I'm
not coming down there. So that's just, I could
tell she had that little feeling, but she was
very hopeful. She's like, you know, I'm gonna
ride it out. I'm hopeful. I'm respectful and
I want this to work. So I can tell, that's just
my inner thoughts when I look at the show and
watching people on TV. I can tell that she is
very genuine. She genuinely knows what she wants
and she more than likely was getting the hint
that he didn't. And I think that he's just, when
he looks at her and he hears her, he's trying
to navigate where he fits in. It's just like,
where do I fit in? And that's just for him to
learn outside of her. If you want to learn where
you fit in somewhere, you got to learn how to
stand out. So Kenny just has to learn how to
stand out because he really doesn't need to fit
in. He actually stands out. So he just needs
to learn that on his own. You know, that's why
I think his maturity level of confidence is just
still growing. And you can tell. You can't knock
a man for trying. And I wouldn't. So that's just
the show of the week. They have been going like
crazy. They've been very, very subtle online.
They have not said much. You know, they've been
throwing little subliminals here and there. That
was nothing for me. I needed enough something.
There was not enough meat on the bone. So I had
to go watch the show. and give my own opinion.
And that's just what I did. So that's just life.
This is episode 62 with your girl, your favorite
life coach here. And I'm gonna give you a piece
of advice before I get up out of here, before
I go smell the roses, okay? Before the roses
come smell me. Piece of advice. When you're going
towards the goal in your life, never forget the
main picture, which is family, which is being
true to yourself, and just being ready to grow,
okay? Always be ready to grow, all right? Just
never be hesitant, be willing to listen, and
don't stop giving yourself positive self -talk,
okay? You are a queen. You are a baddie. You
are growing, and shit, that's just life.
