Hello, hello, hello I hope you guys miss me because
I missed y 'all. Mm -hmm. You girl is back I'm
back. I'm better. I'm ready Welcome back to that's
just life with your girl Cecile Cecilia I'm outside
you guys. I am outside I'm in the UK. But today
you guys I am in Birmingham Yes, yes, yes. Yes.
Yes. I hope you guys miss me seriously because
I'm ready to unleash on you episode 71 We're
here. Mm -hmm. We are here. Okay I'm looking
out the window while I'm doing this episode because
the Birmingham side of UK they are a little Let's
just say they're a little hilarious. Okay You
guys let me just start with my preview of Birmingham.
I'm gonna give you my little review on Birmingham.
I was outside doing a TikTok and one of the drivers
cars, their car stopped in the middle of the
road and it was near me in a way, not too close
but near me. So all the cars behind them is hunk
of nettle, right? And all you hear is fuck off.
fuck off oh my goodness like i was just like
oh my god oh my god oh my god so he's trying
to tell everybody to go around him right so cars
start going around him and i guess some pedestrians
started to actually pull over park their car
and try to help him pull his car over to the
side of the road because mind you he was in the
middle of the road In the midst of that, somebody
came up to me. Yeah, one of the UK citizens started
to come up to me. And just off the bat, once
I see this UK citizen approaching me, I mean
getting closer than close, my Kansas City side
started to come out. Like yo, back the fuck up,
whatever you gotta say, say it, but back the
fuck up. okay my brain said that i didn't say
it but my brain went straight to kansas city
yo back the fuck up okay that's what i was thinking
so he's like um don't be recording my friend
we're trying to help him don't be recording my
friend i said nobody's recording your friend
back up at the end of the day i don't even have
to show you my phone because i'm about to punch
you is what i said um back up yeah he got too
close like I've been noticing that out here in
the UK. This is my second time a UK citizen has
walked up on me and not been three feet. Like
they are almost in my face, you know? I don't
deal with that. Not will, at least. I don't play
that. No, no, no, no. That's not my to -go -to
method when needing to approach somebody. I don't
go all up in their personal space. He was all
up in my personal space. Almost call my man right
in the air. Because if I call my man, he's gonna
bring his British side out here and it's not
gonna be pretty. Okay? So I had to explain to
him. I said, yo, back up. I don't need you to
come up to me. Nobody's recording your friend.
That's on you if you're assuming that I'm doing
so. And he noticed the camera was looking at
him. So he's like, but you are recording. I can
even see me. Well, clearly you're old, sir, because
this is a camera. What does a camera do? It reflects
what it sees. So I said, no, no, no, this is
a camera. You see, it sees you and it sees me.
So he's like, oh, okay. Yeah, just back up though,
okay? You do not have to get into my personal
space to understand what I'm doing and get out
your own self -centered way to think that I'm
out here recording you guys. You're not even
doing anything great, okay? You're literally
moving a car from the middle of the road to the
side of the road. The audacity. to be walking
up to somebody like that. I'm like, you're lucky
you are in the UK. I said, yo, back up. I'm an
American citizen. I'm about to do things that
you probably would think was unspeakable. Back
up. OK? He backed up. OK? I don't like people
all up in my personal space like that. Like,
I love people. Just don't be in my personal space.
You know? Give me six feet. Because I can hear
you loud and clear, but do not come up to me
like that. Like, I don't know. Like, what the
hell? What the hell? What the hellie? What the
hellie? Yeah. They had me messed up. But that's
just one part of Birmingham, you know? That's
just the little thin streets here. And don't
forget, you guys, Birmingham is not far from
London, all right? People are getting a little
more cruel. I'm kidding. No, they're just a little
more outspoken in Birmingham. I can say that.
They're a lot more outspoken, and that's okay.
So am I, okay? So, episode 71, let's get started.
I missed y 'all, seriously, need a vent, need
to get into it. I know you guys been watching
the news, because I know I have catching up on
everything, like everything. But let's get started.
Episode 71. That's Just Life. Your favorite life
coach is here. Let's get it started. Let's get
it started. So, of course, since it's my pod,
I will start with my life update. I can say that
I am in Birmingham. The British man has brought
me to Birmingham. okay so my british man he moves
around for work and that's where i am doing as
well now when he's at work i am out exploring
birmingham now i can't explore birmingham too
much without my man because these folks are different
i'm telling you i think somebody broke their
glass window recently right across the street
i'm like wait a minute when i first came over
here that was a full window now it is broken
Hope nobody just threw a rock up there. You know
what? I'm gonna hope they got some Plastic bags
or something to cover that window because that's
great. Okay but outside of that you guys I Have
just been enjoying my man's company like truly
Now that my menstrual is over because baby my
menstrual in those hormones We did not love on
my man properly, okay? I was trying, holding
on for their life, but he got through it, so
did I. But yeah, it was a rollercoaster. Baby,
I will not lie to you, it was a rollercoaster.
These new hormones that I'm getting, partially
because I am on birth control now, these hormones
are different, baby. They're smacking you in
the face. I don't even know why, like Sharkeisha,
it's coming out of nowhere. Like babe, I wasn't
even ready for that. You know, it's just coming
out of nowhere. I'm telling you, that's just
how the hormones are hitting me. But I've officially
got through those hormones and your girl is back
and better, okay? But let me tell you, I watch
my man get ready for work all the time. And when
I tell you when he's leaving, I'm just like,
oh my God, I just love a man in a suit. Like,
it's not even a suit. Let me just be honest.
A man in a uniform. I love it. I love it. I love
it, okay? I see this man in his work uniform
and it drives me a little cuckoo. I'm like, I
don't think you need to go to work. Just come
back in the house. You can work on me. Love my
man in a uniform. okay love amen in the uniform
it just it gets me going okay but outside of
that like i said we're moving around in birmingham
i'm able to really dive into birmingham like
there's a lot of black artists out here hairstylists
you name it um lash text so your girl's about
to go explore on that one and see how things
are moving I want to see what they have to offer,
you know? Because if I can find something good,
I think I can find my man another barber. Because,
baby, we're not traveling back and forth to get
to his barber. No, no, no, no. We're just going
to find a lovely barber here, hook him up, do
it right, and we're going to be all about our
day. But, I am slowly learning when it comes
to being in this lovely relationship with my
darling. Communication is not just the key, but
keeping God aligned in our relationship. So whenever
we have a problem, you go pray, I go pray. Okay?
We're keeping God's center front of this relationship.
God is right in the middle, main person. Yeah,
we're praying so much. It's crazy, but it feels
good because at the end of the day, God put us
together. So why not let the King navigate us
through? Okay, so we're literally praying more
than ever. We're grateful for that. We are not
ashamed of that, not whatsoever, but yeah. That's
just my, my little life update. Being in Birmingham
right now. Learning to communicate with my man.
Learning that he doesn't know how to stay up
for a movie to save his life. Like he will ask
for a movie date. I'll give him a movie date.
Let's say an hour in. He's locked out. It's not
even a full hour. 45 minutes in, all you hear
is... I'm like, oh my goodness. Oh my goodness.
This has to be a joke. I thought I was supposed
to be the one falling asleep, but no. Apparently
it is him. Step. We're gonna do this movie day
thing again. And this time I'm gonna make sure
we watch the movie as soon as he walks in the
door. Okay? Because I don't know what to do anymore.
I'm trying to continue embossing from the house.
as well as blossom on the outside because we
go out for dinners and all that um but it's our
movie days that i really enjoy but it's hard
to enjoy him when he falls asleep dang and then
he think i can't he thinks i won't watch the
movie without him and i always do i end up finishing
the movie and then i just have to run it back
when he gets when he gets back but i'm okay with
that i'm okay with watching something twice especially
when i've already seen it so that's just my life
update you guys movie nights are going a scale
of one to ten movie night is a good eight okay
and that's not horrible all right we also went
to a place called rodeo barbecue and it was a
bar so it wasn't even a full bar it's actually
a full like little rodeo um they had their bar
there they had lovely food he had some homemade
tacos for the first time he's never had those
like he was just like oh my days this is lovely
so my baby had some homemade tacos for the first
time so i was like okay if you like those wait
till you taste my meatloaf okay but you guys
that's just my little life update life is going
pretty well for me um i'm just navigating every
day knocking on my YouTube channel every day,
mm -hmm, doing my TikToks, talking to you guys
on my podcast, getting to know the UK citizens
when they're not upset, of course, okay. But
yes, outside of that, we went to the marina and
basically we were able to see all the boats,
all the different canoes and all that. Some of
those people had a yacht. out there so yeah i
went to the marina out here it was pretty good
um life is going great actually when you think
about it but no yeah that's just a little life
update going to the marina was lovely get to
see the boats and stuff uh then we went to a
beach yeah i didn't even know the uk had beaches
that close but they do we went to the beach i'm
talking about the view was spectacular Very spectacular
impeccable, babe. I love a good view of just
nothing but blue water Okay, so that was very
beautiful. It was very romantic Yeah, we're out
here living life being romances. Yeah, I love
it, but Let's move on cuz I just wanted to give
you guys a little life update for you girl. Life
is going good I'm getting out here the UK. I
think I've hit three places already Sheffield
Middlesburg And now I'm in Birmingham, so I've
been to three different spots out here and we're
not gonna stop there trust We're just gonna keep
going and I'll be keep going myself. I'm ready
to go shopping in Birmingham though So that's
coming next I'll show you about that journey
when it happens because that's coming next sometime
this week. I'll be going shopping in Birmingham
Okay, gotta see what the clothes is looking for
looking like what are the shoes hitting on? Do
we got the shoes people? I need to know Your
girl needs to know. Okay? But let's move on.
Because the U .S., where I am from, where I'm
originally born from, is going through some things.
So let's talk about that, people. Let's move
right along, okay? Let's move right along. Okay,
now considering I am a governed civilian, civilian
governor, yeah. So I used to be a government
worker, so I'm now a government civilian. That's
what I'm going to call myself. Basically, I'm
going to report to you guys what I know what's
going on. Of course I do. So recently, you guys,
I'm not sure if you heard, this was just, what,
last night? Or just, I got the news this morning
because I'm in the UK, of course. But the US
government has now shut down, you guys. Basically,
as senators have failed to pass the last -minute
funding bill, basically, you guys, they had to
do a shutdown. The shutdown, the first one, was
the first shutdown since 2018 -2019, basically.
And our lovely President Donald Trump threatens
a mass, irreversible firing of the federal workers
under a shutdown. Basically, the incisional workers
will have to continue to work as normal, some
without pay, but other government employees are
now on unpaid leave. And that's just not fun.
Trust me. I don't work for nothing. So I can
guarantee you, they don't want to work for nothing.
Okay? No pay. They definitely don't want to work
on their own unpaid leave. Like, unpaid leave.
It's just, it's all right there. Nobody wants
to work for nothing, like I said. Basically,
Republican Senator John says the party won't
be taking hostage, while the Senate Democrat,
which is Chuck Schumer, says the Republicans
tell lies. So... You know, that's just how it
starts. It's just both of the members of the
parties are lying on the blame of one another.
So they're just playing the blame game right
now. It's just really looking crazy. I feel for
all the government workers that are there. I'm
a government civilian. So I do not Engage with
him anymore. Not like that. I do have a few Colleagues
that I am good friends with because they are
past colleagues So yeah, I will be checking up
on some people because this is crazy um When
I was there the bill was barely getting passed
and it was like about a grace of God that You
would wake up and then it was like up no shut
down. It's like, okay Well, thank you, but it
was just too it was too rocky for me to stay
You never know what you're gonna wake up to is
literally living in the uncertainty and I'm already
doing that as I live life So I didn't need to
do that with the government job considering My
president may or may not care. So I just needed
to back away from my personal self And now I
see that it's official. Yeah, it's an official
government shutdown. And it's the first one in
the last six years. So I really think that they
should just stop playing the blame game. Let's
just get to it. That's it. Let's just stop playing
the blame game. We already know exactly what
it is. A lot of Republicans are scared of their
own person that they... basically called for
her to become president. So it's, yeah, it's
a lot. So I don't know how they're gonna really
fix this one up here, rational, be very rational
about things this time around. Yeah, he's going
above and beyond and it's just really affecting
a lot of employees, federal employees, and I
just feel sorry for them. I'm sending my condolences.
They're not dead, but just let them know that
they can get through this. Yeah, this just got
to be very disturbing. It's very, very, very,
very disturbing. I'm grateful to be in England,
though, at the moment. That's just what it is.
No. Grateful. Yep. I was jumping ship for a reason.
I seen that ship sinking. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm. It
was a tight ship that was sinking, so I had to
get out of there. Yeah. Mm -hmm. But that's all
I want to give on the government shutdown. Never
know who's listening because if he is, he's still
a lovely president, of course. It's just unfortunate
that we had to get through a shutdown. Right.
The people that are actually working there has
to figure out where they're going to get their
next paycheck after they didn't put in 80 hours
and some putting in five years, 10 years worth
of service. You know, it's unfortunate how you
get treated after putting in so much time of
service. Very unfortunate. But, like I said,
that's all I wanted to give on the U .S. government
shutdown. That's all I wanted to give. I'm gonna
move right along now. Mm -hmm. U .S. shutting
down. That government shutdown, I'm just kind
of not surprised, but that's all I'm gonna say.
That's all I'm gonna say, okay? Yes, I still
love my government. I'm just very saddened that
a lot of civilians, a lot of government workers
are going through this. because it's going to
be affecting the civilians as well. If you guys
don't know, you will be knowing. You might not
know until it hits your front door, but it's
going to affect you guys as well. So we're going
to hope that they come together quick, fast,
in a hurry before it starts to actually affect
the other civilians, hoping that the government
workers, by the grace of God, have a backup plan,
because not everybody has that. Not everybody
is blessed with a backup plan to keep going so
that's like i said i'm done talk about it i'm
gonna move right along here next thing on my
agenda let's get right along let's just move
it baby let's move it okay so the next thing

you guys now that you've listened to my movie
review I want to speak about wanting more in
life you know No matter what we go through in
life and as blessed as we are to have family,
boyfriends, husbands, careers, being an entrepreneur,
it's okay to want more. Especially when you're
a particular person, you have a particular vision,
a specific vision for yourself, it is definitely
okay to want more. That's what I'm learning from
myself here. Wanting more has nothing to do with
being ungrateful. It just means that you know
that you Can reach for the stars and actually
get there? Okay, so I am wanting more in my life.
Okay, I Am telling my boyfriend I want more He
is understanding that I want more I am deserving
of more and it's just saying it first. Hey, I
want more Second thing second is going towards
that more, you know? No hard feelings, but as
I get older, as I notice my older siblings wanting
more, it's not a bad thing at all to communicate
to the next person that you want more, that you
deserve more. And it's not eliminating their
position or their role in life. It's just letting
them know, hey, now that we have this, I also
can foresee us going here. or even just if it's
a personal goal. Now that I have this, I can
foresee myself going here as well. You know,
never try to dim your own light. Keep in mind
wanting more is just preparing for the future
in different ways, you know? And I confidently
can say that, okay? Your girl wants more. You
know, I'm out here in England. I'm officially
retired at 27 from the corporate world, so that's
lovely. I have my lovely partner, but I will
love more. I want more, okay? So, with this episode,
you guys, I just wanted to let you know, as a
life coach, it's totally okay to see and want
more. You know, I know my man wants more, so
that's why I'm over here cooking and TikToking,
cooking, TikToking, doing my pod, multitasking.
But as a woman, I can do that. There's nothing
for me to juggle things, and I actually do love.
juggling things, having a little bit of multiple
tasks. Love that a lot of my energy doesn't go
into just work, you know, but I'm actually able
to get back into work and pick my line of work
by being an entrepreneur. So just wanting more
in life is nothing wrong. And it's just actually
a part of life. You know, you start to see what
you started off with. You start to see what You
can bring to the table so some would say But
you can you also learn to see what you have to
offer to the world to a partner To a business
to your own business and it's okay to one more,
you know wanting more darling I want more Okay
