Today's topic is.

At a Moment's Notice and my guest is none other

41
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.879

42
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:42.840
Gardner.

43
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.879
But let me just give you a little bit of

44
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.560
background on doctor Gardner.

45
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:50.400
Doctor Tyra S.

46
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:56.120
Gardner, affectionately known as Anger Doc, is the founder and

47
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:00.919
CEO of A Moment's Notice LLC, as well as a

48
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:07.479
distinguished psychotherapist. Doctor Gardner is also the visionary behind the

49
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:12.680

therapy and holistic practices. She delivers customized solutions in stress

and anger management, corporate wellness, leadership development, and emotional intelligence.

53
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.479
So that's why she's called the Anger Doc, not because

54
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:39.280
she's always angry, y'all okay. In addition to her clinical

61
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:25.360

00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:31.199
Thank you for having me.

64
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:32.600
Well, you're so welcome.

65
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.560
And you know I always give the standard bio on

66
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.199
my guests and you all don't know out there, my viewers.

67
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.759
There was a lot more I could have said about her,

68
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.279
but I cut it short because we all have but

69
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:51.120
so much on this show. Okay, but I usually get

70
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.199
the standard bio and then I like to ask my guests,

71
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.439
tell us what you want us to know about doctor

72
00:04:58.519 --> 00:04:59.759
Tyra s Gardner.

73
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:05.279
Oh my goodness. So look, I do so many things,

74
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.920
and so look, some days I'll be like all over

75
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.360
the place. But one thing I will share with your

76
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.839
viewers and listeners about what Tyra s Gardner does is

77
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:21.279
Tyra s Gardner is the serial entrepreneur. I have expertise

78
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.240
in almost every industry. Our recession proofed my life back

79
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.399
in nineteen ninety nine when I was laid off for

80
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.439
the same job twice, and I made it my business

81
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.240
that I would never ever be in a place of

82
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.839
despair where I don't know what my next is going

83
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:41.199
to look like. And so with that being said, I

84
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.279
was able to start doing, you know, doing other ventures.

85
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:49.240
You know. Tyra s Gardner also started a nonprofit this

86
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.160
year on menopause. A lot of the things that I

87
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:58.519
do is based off of experiences and things that might

88
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.240
have happened to me and so, you know, and so

89
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.920
with me going through experiencing menopause myself, I was like, oh,

90
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.079
I need to start helping people. You know. Sometimes when

91
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.399
having all these different how different journeys. I like to

92
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.040
call all of the different businesses and different tools that

93
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.399
I have in my toolbox. I like to call them

94
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.439
journeys because you know, you can help people with them.

95
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.160
It can be a blessing, it can be a curse

96
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.920
because sometimes when you do too much, it comes off

97
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.720
as you're doing too much right and so it's being

98
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.240
able to now being able to navigate through find your lane.

99
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.720
And that's where doctor powers Gardner comes through. The goal

100
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.000
is to help people adapt, to change the same way

101
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.120
I had to change. Being able to do the same

102
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.639
for others other people good for you. And you know

103
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.600
some people, you know once they, like you said, get

104
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.839
laid off more than once. You know, sometimes they might

105
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.759
just give up and say, okay, I'm I'm I just

106
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.199
don't know what to do, just not gonna do anything.

107
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.040
So they just they give up.

108
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.600
But you, on the other hand, you decided you were

109
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:06.800
gonna do the opposite.

110
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.480
So tell us we are we are.

111
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:15.319
We know that many entrepreneurs struggle to juggle multiple brands,

112
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.519
and this is what you've created multiple brands. So what's

113
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.199
your secret to managing and growing your different businesses without

114
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:25.560
losing focus?

115
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.639
Oh? My goodness. I used to feel scattered managing so

116
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.680
many things, but I realized it's all about clarity. I

117
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:38.560
built a brand architect with three pillars, consulting, nonprofit, and media.

118
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.360
This way, everything I do ties back to those categories.

119
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:48.639
I also rely heavily on systems, automation and an amazing

120
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:52.680
network of collaborators. The truth is, I don't juggle multiple

121
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:56.560
crowns I built. I built one crown with three jewels,

122
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.720
and it's just sticking to it, you know. And I'm

123
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.519
all also say the secret is a lot of prayer.

124
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.680
Yes, absolutely, absolutely, Wow.

125
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:13.120
Now you Tyra S consult Tyra S Gardner Consulting. It

126
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:19.399
focuses on training, coaching, and leadership development. So what unique

127
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:24.120
value do you feel you bring to the corporate and

128
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.000
professional clients out there?

129
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.040
Oh my goodness. My unique edge is that I bring

130
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.840
both the clinical lens from being a psychotherapist and the

131
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:37.320
strategic lens of a business leader. Most trainers only focus

132
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.960
on leadership or only on wellness. They pick one or

133
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.600
the other. I do both. For example, in my my

134
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:50.240
Outlet program, I help executives recognize burnout triggers while giving

135
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.879
them tools to lead them with clarity. As well as

136
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.960
a compassion. You know, one client told me I didn't

137
00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.440
just become a better boss, I became a better parent.

138
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.879
And that's the kind of impact I look for and

139
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.519
I aim for when I work with people because at

140
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.360
the end of the day, when we are having these

141
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:12.159
you know, sessions and talking about what's happening through you know,

142
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:17.720
through the coaching programs, and it's being able to separate

143
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.480
your business from your personal And that's the lens I

144
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.240
bring from having a clinical and counseling background.

145
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:24.120
Wow.

146
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.720
And that is unique because, like you said, normally people

147
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:29.759
focus on one.

148
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:30.039
Or the other.

149
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:35.559
It's it's not often that you find a therapist that's

150
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.799
also gonna help you with your leaderships. Like, Okay, your

151
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:42.279
leadership sucks, get on this couch and let me talk

152
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:48.679
to you a while. I mean, I know you don't

153
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.279
probably phrase it like that, but you know, basically that's

154
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.799
what's happening here. You can you know, kind of guide

155
00:09:55.879 --> 00:10:01.279
them into a different way of looking at their leadership

156
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:02.799
skills Happy.

157
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.360
Yeah, because you know what it's spend off of, right,

158
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.639
looking at Like I set boundaries in all aspects of

159
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:11.879
my life, right, and one of the boundaries that I

160
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.039
set was work boundaries when I leave. Like I used

161
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.320
to tell people, I'm a therapist during to day, but

162
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.919
I'm a thug after after my shift. So don't come

163
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:23.279
calling me talking to me about my job. If my

164
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.960
job is at three three oh one, you got a

165
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:26.600
different tier.

166
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.960
Okay, you're not gonna have But it's being able to

167
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.399
set that boundary up right, but then at the same

168
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:38.080
time being able to say, you know, when we leave

169
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.679
work in the afternoon, we bring the drama from work

170
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.399
to home.

171
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.639
Right the people are in our home don't need that, No,

172
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.639
they wasn't at the office all day. And you know,

173
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.440
we've seen where people you know, have caused fights and

174
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.200
arguments and you know a lot of discord within the household.

175
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:01.159
And so my goal with starting, you know, my business,

176
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.159
was to be able to say, no, we need to

177
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.159
have these my outlet sessions. We need to have vent

178
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:09.279
sessions where we can sit down and talk before you

179
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.159
enter into your home with all of the negativity and

180
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.759
the things. Use the time that you commute from your

181
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.240
office to your house is your time to decompress. But

182
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.679
let's have somebody else that you can scream and yell

183
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.759
at right when the times happen at work or in

184
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.720
the office or if you you know, if you're a

185
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.320
business owner, have another person there that's that's biased to

186
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.279
what's going on, and you.

187
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.720
Know that's that's good because a lot of people, especially

188
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:41.279
if they're a workaholic or what have you, and then

189
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.600
they have a family likee too, they tend to keep

190
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:48.200
all that bottled up inside and at some point though,

191
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.000
it's gonna come out, and it may come out the

192
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.679
wrong way, and it may come out not at work

193
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.200
but on the family, which you know you don't want

194
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.000
to happen. So that is to be able to get

195
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:06.720
them to decompress, like you said, even get home, like

196
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.399
you know, hit somebody with a pillow or something at

197
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:10.840
work and get those.

198
00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:14.879
Things that somebody.

199
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:19.440
Making something.

200
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:23.320
Like I'm not going home feeling bad. I'm gonna hit

201
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.679
you first and get on to.

202
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:25.519
Get rid of it.

203
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:34.559
I'm laughing, but it's it's serious because so many people,

204
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.559
you know, their jobs are just so stressful for them

205
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:42.759
and that they do that they run in these organizations

206
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.799
and it's so stressful. So they do need something that

207
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.919
will separate the two so that they can at least

208
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.240
have that little peace of mind. Like when I walk

209
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:55.879
like you said, and if I'm off at five five

210
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.000
oh one when I'm.

211
00:12:58.080 --> 00:12:59.320
Talking about this stuff of.

212
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:04.440
I'm over here to deal with whatever's going on over here,

213
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.919
and that's normally a good thing.

214
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.799
Yeah, yeah, Yeah. The thing is, it's like every day

215
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.200
is a new day, and you know, and that used

216
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.679
to always sadden me when I would go to or

217
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.960
not to my nine to five and have to go

218
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:22.279
back on the same stuff that we left off one,

219
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.200
you know what I mean, Like, how come we didn't

220
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.080
resolve the issue the day before while we got to

221
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:30.879
come back to the same old situations exactly? And that always,

222
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.519
you know, that's the only thing that's like that that

223
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:37.279
troubles me with corporate America. You know, like, let's leave

224
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.480
it in the past, Let's move to the next and

225
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.639
do what we got to do. Let's resolve the issues

226
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.639
while we have the issue right now, not later.

227
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:46.360
Not later exactly.

228
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:47.159
Now.

229
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:49.799
I know you you talked about the two and keeping

230
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:57.440
them separate. You know, the wellness and the experiences through

231
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:02.639
mindful moments. How do you blend the mental health, the

232
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:07.360
business strategy, and the personal development into these events?

233
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:08.240
How do you do that?

234
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.960
Oh? I believe transformation happens when we stop separating personal

235
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.320
from professional at you know, with mindful moments, through blended therapy,

236
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:23.399
informed practices like emotional regulation and business strategy sessions as

237
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.000
well as the self care rituals. You know, this is

238
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:29.039
the way that we work on helping people with establishing

239
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:32.039
this with miful moments. You know, a woman might arrive

240
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.639
just looking relaxed, but she'll leave with a renewed purpose

241
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.559
for her career, a personal life as well as an

242
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:39.840
overall well being.

243
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:42.200
Okay, okay.

244
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:48.960
Now you also have a company called Menopause Matters Incorporated. Yes,

245
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:53.679
and that's been making waves in public health and also

246
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:58.519
women's wellness. So what inspired you to create a nonprofit

247
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:00.960
around menopause awareness?

248
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.519
Oh, my goodness, outside of me experience experiencing it, I

249
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.919
saw how silent the conversation around menopause was, right, and

250
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.320
it's like especially for black women. And when I thought

251
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.480
about this nonprofit, it was about eight nine years ago

252
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:21.200
and nobody was talking about it then, right, And it's

253
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.279
like at this point and it was like we as

254
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:27.080
women too, many of us suffer in silence, you know,

255
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:31.000
and thinking that we're broken or losing ourselves a sense

256
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:34.919
of ourselves. Menopause matters is a way of saying you

257
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:39.039
are not alone, you are not crazy, and you deserve resources,

258
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.039
respect and care, you know. And it's just like and

259
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:45.759
that was why I formed this, this nonprofit, because I

260
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:51.000
want to be able to start having those difficult conversations

261
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.679
that people haven't been having, you know, and I feel

262
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:56.720
like now is the time, you know, for us to

263
00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.399
have them. You know. I know it's a lot of

264
00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.960
celebrities and everybody, you know, they are on the bandwagon

265
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.720
now with it, you know, but it's like now, now

266
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:08.080
was the time, you know for us to start talking

267
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:10.279
these having these conversations.

268
00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:13.480
Yeah, yeah, because even like when we're talking about the

269
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.159
mental health part of it, you've got a lot of

270
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.960
that has been in the media also, and like you said, celebrities,

271
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:24.519
you know, jumping on that because they've had to either

272
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:28.159
experienced it themselves or had a family member or what

273
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.200
have you that have gone through it. So you know,

274
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:35.039
it's nothing like bringing awareness to something when it happens

275
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:40.759
to someone that's supposedly in the media, you know, that's

276
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.120
well known or what have you. But if the ordinary

277
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.960
you know, Joe Blow has nobody knows, So where is

278
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.000
that to go? So that's they have to have somewhere

279
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.639
that they can and they can't, you know, call up

280
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.799
Channel nine news and say, hey, look, having a mental

281
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:06.759
health episode, can you help me?

282
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.039
So somebody can help me.

283
00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:11.240
They have to know that they have somewhere that they

284
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:16.480
could go absolutely, and that's that's that's really good that

285
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:20.920
you know, it's just amazing to hear that the the

286
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.480
things that you've taken on are.

287
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:24.480
Just so critical.

288
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:26.279
They really are.

289
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:28.599
I mean, you talk about the menopause, you talk about

290
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:32.640
the mental health, those are because even with the menicup pause. Uh,

291
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:38.680
some women they haven't experiences so badly until that can

292
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:43.079
also get them into a mental crisis at some point sometimes.

293
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:49.000
So yeah, it really is all the you know, it

294
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:53.799
really is critical the topics and the forms that you're

295
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:59.480
you're actually into and helping mostly women with I would say,

296
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.759
because which I know with the mental health you probably

297
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.799
could have a mixture of both, but with the pug

298
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.599
mostly that's gonna be the females. Now, you've also launched

299
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:17.279
creative initiatives such as like hot Flash, hangouts and Pause

300
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:22.440
and poor Cafe. How do you make serious health topics

301
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.160
approachable and engaging?

302
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.519
You know, using these types of venues.

303
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:32.240
Oh, my good, Humor is my secret weapon, right. I

304
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:35.599
specialize in anger management, and everybody's like anger and I'm like, yeah,

305
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:38.880
well you know, and my book is called Let's Laugh,

306
00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.799
and everybody's like last Laugh, Live anger free, right, And

307
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:47.440
so humor is my secret weapon across all of my brands. Right.

308
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:50.759
Many palls can be a heavy topic to talk about,

309
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:55.480
but laughter opens the doors. Right. So Hot Flash hangouts

310
00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.680
and Paws and Poor Cafes are spaces where women sip,

311
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:02.599
laugh and learn. We talk about hot flashes and hair

312
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.640
finning with honesty, but also we have community and we

313
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.720
also have joy. One woman told me I came for

314
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:12.880
the coffee, but stayed for the sisterhood. And that's exactly

315
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:15.519
what we do. And this is exactly why we're doing

316
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:16.759
it right.

317
00:19:16.640 --> 00:19:19.920
Right, because they need to know, you know, Well, it's

318
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:20.519
good to know.

319
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:23.400
I should say that there's some other people out there

320
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:27.759
experiencing the same things you're going through. I remember seeing

321
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:32.359
a video on YouTube and the young lady was saying

322
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.440
that she did the video because she was going through

323
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.279
she was having all these pains and everything like that,

324
00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:41.640
and she would go to the doctor.

325
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:42.960
Nobody could figure out.

326
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:46.640
What was going on, and they did figure out what

327
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:49.720
was going on, but she said she thought something was

328
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:53.559
wrong with her, that nobody else was going through nobody

329
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:58.200
else was experiencing this, you know, until she finally just

330
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:02.359
kept pressing and kept pushing and kept researching things like that,

331
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.759
and then she figured out, Hey, I'm not the only

332
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.000
one out here that's going through this. And I think

333
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.039
especially with what you're doing, the high flash and menopause

334
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:13.279
and all of that, you know, it's it's good to

335
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:15.799
know that, hey, I'm not going through this by myself.

336
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.519
There's somebody else going through it. They may not be

337
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:21.200
through the same thing I'm going through, but they are

338
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:25.519
going through something related to that, you know. And so

339
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:28.720
that's why you hear, like you said, use the sisterhood,

340
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:32.279
because now they have somewhere they could go to draw

341
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:35.640
on and have that support where they can literally talk

342
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.799
about what people don't want to talk about a lot

343
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:39.839
of times.

344
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:43.599
Exactly exactly, you know, and it's you know, these are

345
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:47.599
the difficult conversations that people have been skating around for years,

346
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:50.519
and so now it's like now all I can say

347
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:53.400
is now is the time, you know, why not the present?

348
00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:57.079
Right exactly exactly.

349
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:01.839
Now, fundraising and awareness campaigns can also be challenging. What

350
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:06.640
has been your most successful strategy for getting successful forgetting

351
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:11.720
communities and partners to rally behind menopause matters? Because I

352
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:14.319
know that you can all of this stuff that you're doing,

353
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:17.279
especially with the nonprofit, you need that support from the

354
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:20.720
community and different you know, people that will support you

355
00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:24.920
and putting stuff out there. So how do you get

356
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:27.279
them to rally behind you on these things?

357
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:27.880
Oh?

358
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:28.160
Wow?

359
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:32.000
Storytelling is key. People don't connect with the statistics like

360
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:34.559
I can go on for days and days with the statistics,

361
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.680
but they really connect with real life experiences. Being able

362
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:42.720
to share stories of real women navigating menopause has inspired

363
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.440
you know, donations as well as partnerships. You know, one

364
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:50.480
campaign that I have is I have a menopause kit, right,

365
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:54.279
and so the menopause kit that I have contains a

366
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:58.880
fan as well as it contains essential oil, a peppermint

367
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:02.960
essential oil, and it has it has a headband for

368
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.640
the sweat, and it has a cool cough to help

369
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:10.480
for the cooling the cooling method that we need, you know,

370
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:13.799
in addition to the fan that we have and just

371
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:18.279
things in it to make us feel more feel feel

372
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:20.680
good about ourselves and know that we are not alone.

373
00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:24.359
And so with that campaign, that campaign I've been doing,

374
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:27.720
I actually do that at a lot of events, you know,

375
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.160
so I'll you know, have a vendors table set up

376
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:32.920
and for that you know those if you just want

377
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.480
the fan, the fans are like a ten dollar donation,

378
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:38.240
and then we also have the kids that's a thirty

379
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.720
five dollar donation. And that's been working, you know, because

380
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:43.759
a lot of people like to see things, you know,

381
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:47.680
have something tangible there that they can take away, you know,

382
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.240
in addition to the handouts and paper paperwork we have.

383
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:54.519
But yeah, but this is you know, one of our

384
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:58.160
biggest campaigns right now that we are that we're fundraising

385
00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:01.480
campaigns that we're working on that we have been doing.

386
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:03.519
Yet we've been doing this campaign now for the past

387
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:06.160
I guess the past five months now, okay.

388
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:09.599
And I would imagine where you do where you have

389
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:14.440
the high flesh hangouts in the pouh Poor cafe, those

390
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.079
are those donated to you or those facility a facility

391
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:19.400
that you have yourself.

392
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:22.160
That's a that's a place that I have myself that

393
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:25.480
I actually use. That's another place that I have that

394
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:29.079
I use and those I don't, so the donations that

395
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:34.000
people provide. I use those donations for those events because

396
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:36.920
I want people to come and feel relaxed and not

397
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.519
feel like they have to be pressure to do anything.

398
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:43.599
You know. I want women to feel feel like they're

399
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.039
in a safe environment where they don't have to be

400
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:48.599
stressed out and pressure. And you know a lot of

401
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.680
people are like, well, you should know. My thing is,

402
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:54.359
that's what you know when people donate, this is what

403
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:57.799
this is for for me to provide resources and safe

404
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:00.720
spaces for us to be able to have these kinds conversations.

405
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:01.599
Gotcha.

406
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:02.640
Wow.

407
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:07.359
Now, if you could change one national policy or cultural

408
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.359
narrative about menopause tomorrow, what would that be?

409
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:15.359
Oh, my goodness, doctor Lewis, it would be it would

410
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:20.039
be requiring workplaces to have menopause friendly policies just like

411
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:23.920
maternity or mental health accommodations. And culturally, I would want

412
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:26.799
to shift the narrative from menopause being the end to

413
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.200
it being a new, powerful chapter in a woman's life.

414
00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:32.599
Wow.

415
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:37.720
Now, are there are you looking at maybe trying to

416
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:40.279
do something like that? Have you looked into trying to

417
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:41.319
do something like that.

418
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.680
I've looked at I've looked at a number of legislation

419
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.799
legislations because there are some bills that's out there, and

420
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:53.640
so I've been working on connecting with some politicians in

421
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.480
my state as well as in other states, such as

422
00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:58.720
the state of New York. There's a politician there that's

423
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:02.839
working on the menopause bill, and so I have been

424
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:07.400
in contact with people to start working on this, to

425
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:12.039
help with creating policy for these for these workplaces so

426
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.519
people have a better understanding. But first, you know, as

427
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:17.880
we work on to trying to get a policy, first

428
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:20.039
we need to get into the workplace and have these

429
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:24.000
conversations with them so that they can understand exactly understand

430
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:26.279
what it is. You know, we need them to be

431
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:32.559
trained on meause absolutely and understanding what Perry Perry, Paul

432
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:35.039
Peri menopause is as well as menopause.

433
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:42.759
Okay, gotcha now your Tyran's Just Saying podcasts is also

434
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:47.559
known for tackling hot button topics with a like you said,

435
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:50.880
a mix of humor, you have insight, real talk.

436
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:53.880
What made you start the podcast?

437
00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:57.079
What was that? You're gonna laugh when I tell you this.

438
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:01.519
So Tyra's Just Saying actually started in twelve and It

439
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:04.920
started as a blog because, as you know, social media,

440
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:07.640
only thing I think we had in twenty twelve was

441
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:11.160
was a Facebook. But yeah, it was about twenty twelve

442
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:14.039
when I started Tyran's Just Saying, And so it came

443
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.119
from a blog because people will always ask me. At

444
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:19.079
the time, I was working in New Jersey and I

445
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:23.359
actually live in Philadelphia, and people was always Tyrah, can

446
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:26.319
you tell me this? And Tyrah, can you tell me that?

447
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:28.759
And so what about coworkers started laughing and he's like,

448
00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:31.359
you need to just he said, you always saying something?

449
00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:33.400
I said. I said, I wish you all just stopped

450
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.720
asking me all the time. And I'm just saying, just stop.

451
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:38.279
And he was like, yeah, well you need to start

452
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:42.640
saying Tyra's just saying. He was like, and I started laughing,

453
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:45.400
and so I was like, Tyra's just saying. I said,

454
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:47.759
you know what, I'm gonna do something with that. It's

455
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:50.240
so great. When he said it, I jumped on. I

456
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:54.240
jumped on, go daddy and create and started creating my blog.

457
00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:58.240
And that's how Tyra's Just Stays shot. Tyra's Just Staying

458
00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:03.039
got started. So fast forward to here we are the

459
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.400
pandemic twenty twenty. Now I'm watching Instagram because that's when

460
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.480
people actually started doing the videos. March twenty twenty is

461
00:27:10.480 --> 00:27:13.160
when they started where people could actually start doing videos

462
00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:17.519
outside I'm posting pictures and so I was like ooh.

463
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:20.640
I was like, and people at that time, because things

464
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:23.559
was so chaotic, do you know who got this? And

465
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:25.319
you know who got that? Because we can't come out

466
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:27.200
of the house. And I was like, you know what,

467
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:30.599
I'm I'm tired of y'all calling me. So now I'm

468
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.359
just gonna do these interviews and I'm gonna go on

469
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:36.160
Instagram and y'all gonna come on here, y'all gonna talk

470
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.799
about y'all businesses, and this is how we gonna do

471
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:41.279
this and so and that's how time I was just

472
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:45.400
saying podcasts got started. And so my first my first

473
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.680
interview was with my hairstylist because people were so upset

474
00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:51.359
out the air. So I was like, girl, get on

475
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:53.039
Instagram would be real quick. She's like, I don't know

476
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:54.599
what to do. I said, just get on and we're

477
00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:57.119
gonna talk. And so she's like, I'm afraid. That's not

478
00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:59.400
afraid of what who cares? Just get on. We got

479
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:03.480
along the already having casual conversations about it and started

480
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:07.440
talking about that. And after that, people started reaching out

481
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.279
like I have a business, Can I talk to you

482
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:14.039
about it? And I'm like sure, you know, I'm like

483
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:16.799
and then next thing, you know, all these business owns

484
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:19.920
and stuff started reaching out to me wanting to come

485
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:23.640
on and talk. And then started watching a lot of

486
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:26.799
different podcasts, a lot of things that was going on

487
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:30.160
Instagram at the time, and I was just like, okay,

488
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:32.480
and then I started meeting a couple. I met a

489
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:35.680
couple of celebrities on there, you know, from jumping and

490
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:38.799
watching people's lives, and they see my name and they

491
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:41.480
like angered doctor tyr, Like they thought my name was

492
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:44.880
Angie and I said, that does not say Angie Andy,

493
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:47.319
I said, read it, you know. And then that's when

494
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:49.880
they were like, oh my goodness. So but the name

495
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:54.119
always calls intrigue, you know. And so that's how that's

496
00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:56.519
how it all got form, you know, And it.

497
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.799
Was just when it took off and thought one push,

498
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:04.319
one lose, nobody to say something, and then you get.

499
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:06.480
Here we go and you know, and it's like when

500
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:09.160
I tell you I love that, you know, every guest

501
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:11.400
has left with something, you know.

502
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:13.039
Wow.

503
00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:16.400
So now you've interviewed, like you said, a variety of

504
00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:17.799
guests from.

505
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:20.640
Entrepreneurs, health experts.

506
00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:25.400
What's been your most memorable or surprising interviews so far?

507
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.920
Oh? My goodness, you know what, all of my interview

508
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:34.640
all of the interviews that I've done have been have

509
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:39.559
been standout, right, you know, it's like each one, each

510
00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:42.759
person that I speak to, you know, I feel like

511
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:46.759
I learned something new every day, right, But it's also

512
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:49.359
it's just like, you know, but when I think about it,

513
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:52.920
you know, I like, I had one interview where one

514
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.559
of my guests, you know, got vulnerable about vulnerable about

515
00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:00.319
being burnt out, you know, and we talked about that,

516
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:04.359
we talked about I had one guest on who talked

517
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:10.119
about children and having children and the pressures of you know,

518
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:13.480
the pressures of being a parent, especially during you know,

519
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:16.240
the pandemic and all of that, you know, And so

520
00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:19.400
it was it was those that stood out stood out

521
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:21.920
the most. You know, the bottom line is it wasn't

522
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:25.440
just all about business. You know. People were able to

523
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:29.559
share how they were feeling about their relationships, how things,

524
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:31.839
how things might have been, how they might have been

525
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:36.039
suffering about something. You know, Tyr was just saying, had

526
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:40.519
a number of spin off shows during the during the pandemic,

527
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:43.279
you know, during the twenty twenty time, because I had

528
00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:46.680
a room called another room called the Recovery Room, where

529
00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:50.480
people would come through and just you know, unload everything

530
00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:53.440
that they felt that they needed to recover from, you know.

531
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:56.799
And so I think that with that, you know, people

532
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:01.640
really needed to hear those unfiltered stories, you know, because

533
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:05.599
you know, because again people relate to what they hear

534
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:12.720
opposed to you know, the numbers exactly. Wow. So how

535
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:13.160
do you.

536
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:16.000
Choose your topics?

537
00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:18.680
Like you said, I know you said in the beginning,

538
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:20.880
a lot of people were calling you and they wanted

539
00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:23.759
to be on to talk about their business. But how

540
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:26.400
do you keep your content fresh and engaging?

541
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:32.480
Basically, I'm always on social media, whether I'm on Facebook, TikTok,

542
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:34.839
or Instagram. I'm not on TikTok as much as I

543
00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:38.519
need to be, which that's coming. But I try to

544
00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:43.400
look at what's trending right, what's the trending conversation that

545
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:49.680
is happening in the world right without being too without

546
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:54.119
getting to yeah, you know, because you know, like, yeah,

547
00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:57.839
I have to constantly explain myself because of things that

548
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:02.759
I might say, you know, but you know, But for

549
00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:05.240
the most part, you know, I just try to see

550
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:09.000
what's trending. You know, when I interview different business owners,

551
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:11.680
you know that do come on to talk about their business,

552
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:15.200
their nonprofit or their family, there's always something that we

553
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:18.559
can pull out of the conversation that's related to what's

554
00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:22.079
trending right now in society. And so that's pretty much

555
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:24.039
how power I choose the topics.

556
00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:31.680
Wow, so what do you want the listeners? What do

557
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:34.880
you want after an episode? What do you want them

558
00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:37.839
to walk away with? What do you want their takeaway

559
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:38.039
to be?

560
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:41.000
Oh, my goodness, I want their takeaway to be that

561
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:44.799
they feel informed, empowered and ready to act. You know

562
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:49.319
that you might be starting a difficult conversation, or practicing

563
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:53.000
a new self care strategy, you know, or doing something

564
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:56.359
more in the community, you know, whether it's forming their

565
00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:59.880
own nonprofit or starting a business, being able to feel

566
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:03.519
empowered to do whatever they want to do. And if

567
00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:06.640
they leave laughing while they learn something, then I did

568
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:07.240
my job.

569
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:12.400
I know it's right, that's right. Well, tell us, I

570
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:13.920
know you mentioned a book.

571
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:19.160
Tell us what's on the horizon, what's next, anything you

572
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:21.559
got going on that you want us to know about,

573
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:25.359
any any special event's going to be happening at your

574
00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:30.279
hot flash poor cafe or anything like that.

575
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:34.240
Well, the next thing I have, I have an event

576
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:38.240
that's called Let that Stuff Go, and what that is

577
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:40.559
is a break the Plate events. So I'll be hosting

578
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:43.720
those at least two more before the end of the year.

579
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:47.880
In addition to I'll be conducting a vision board in

580
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:52.039
January twenty twenty six. Okay, I have a number of

581
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:56.119
speaking MV agments coming up to women's empowerment events, one

582
00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:59.960
October eighteenth, which will be held in Philadelphia, and another

583
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:03.400
one that will be held with the same organization in

584
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:10.960
the DMV at National Harbor or November eighth. So yes, yes,

585
00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:13.559
I've definitely got to get the information to you so

586
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.840
that you know, maybe you could swing on through.

587
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:18.079
Yeah.

588
00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:21.760
Absolutely, Yeah, And so that's what I'll be up to

589
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:25.920
these these next few weeks. And then the month of October,

590
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:29.840
we do have Minopause Awareness Day happening on October eighteenth.

591
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:31.840
I'm actually speaking that day, but.

592
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:34.519
I will also be out doing things, doing what I

593
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:38.639
can leading up to the day to get menopause awareness.

594
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:39.960
Out okay, okay.

595
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:44.920
Now, based on everything that you've done, the businesses that

596
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.199
you have, that you formed, and everything, if you had

597
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:52.639
one piece of advice that you could lead with our

598
00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:56.920
viewers and our listeners, what would that piece of advice be.

599
00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:01.800
I would say, never give up. Sometimes in life things

600
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:05.880
happen and we become very we become sad, depressed, or

601
00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:09.960
we be putting places where people discredit what we do,

602
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:13.079
what we know. But what I will say is, never

603
00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:16.920
give up. Know that you can do all the things

604
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:20.039
that you set your heart and your mind to, and

605
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:24.000
that there is no limits. And never stop. Never stop

606
00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:29.039
thinking thinking positive, you know, because that's thinking. Thinking can

607
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:32.480
always get in and creep up into you. But don't

608
00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:35.559
allow yourself to be limited. Just keep pushing.

609
00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:43.559
Now you've been reading my playbook Stop It Girl, those

610
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:47.000

614
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:58.559

00:35:58.599 --> 00:35:59.599

bad if I have to say so myself. The list

666
