00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:15.080
And Energy. Cancel so high,
Ecstasya sage, Cancelgema, it's not sorry

2
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:22.079
and energy. What's up? Positive
bitches? How are we doing today?

3
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.640
If you're hearing this episode, then
you are meant to be here. So

4
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.359
keep listening on that Bitch's Positive Podcast. Sometimes we will laugh. Other times,

5
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.560
baby Girl, We're gonna cry,
but we will always walk away feeling

6
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:42.159
our most empowered positive bitch self.
That is Babe in true connection with herself.

7
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.640
On this podcast, we unbecome who
we are not so we can fully

8
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:51.399
step into exactly who we came here
to be. Today, we're talking about

9
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:57.719
how to transmute the feeling of loneliness
into lie on us energy, because all

10
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:03.679
energy is just energy and can be
shifted and transformed in a way that we

11
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:08.519
can use to our advantage. I've
had many seasons interacting with the energy of

12
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:14.439
loneliness, and it has taught me
so many great lessons that other energies and

13
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.079
people simply can't. If you are
going through a season of isolation, you

14
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.480
move to a new town and you
don't have friends yet, you're going through

15
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:29.000
a breakup and you feel like you
are experiencing intense loneliness, this is the

16
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:33.040
episode for you, and I want
you to know that just because you're alone,

17
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.239
it does not mean that you have
to feel lonely. And maybe you're

18
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.959
scratching your head and asking yourself,
CC, how could that be possible if

19
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.640
I'm alone? Of course I'm going
to feel lonely. Well, baby girl,

20
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.799
I have news for you, But
before we get into it, a

21
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.879
couple of announcements. If you're not
yet following me on Instagram at VIBEINWITCC,

22
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.959
I will put my link in the
show notes, be sure to follow me

23
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.480
there for daily tips and tricks on
how to tap into your most magnetic energy.

24
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.120
One way I tap into my most
magnetic energy is by using Magic Mind.

25
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.439
In prior seasons of my life,
I was drinking way too much caffeine

26
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.000
and it caused me to have hormonal
acne and crazy high highs and then really

27
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.439
low lows. I then tried to
take no caffeine, but felt like I

28
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.639
had no energy ever, and so
I eventually found Magic Mind, which is

29
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:29.120
my little magic in a bottle.
It gives me the perfect boost of energy

30
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:34.159
to get that workout done or record
that podcast without pushing me out of alignment

31
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:40.080
with my own creative and authentic energy. I feel like the magic of Magic

32
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:46.000
Mind really comes down to its ingredients. It has. First of all,

33
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.120
it sorts from the best suppliers that
they could find. There's no sugar,

34
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.919
it's not free. It's vegan,
keto, paleo and all that jazz.

35
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.520
But the amazing thing is when you
read the label, you actually understand what's

36
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.520
inside of the bottle. So they
have mind, which obviously gives you that

37
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:06.759
caffeine, but also mixed in there
is ashraganda, which reduces stress in lines,

38
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.879
main mushroom which helps with inflammation.

tell you there how I can help
you without further ado. Let's get into

55
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:28.319
today's episode. First things first,
there is a difference between feeling lonely and

56
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:33.480
being alone. I think we all
have experienced that feeling of being at a

57
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:38.959
party or being with a group of
friends but feeling completely disconnected, so you

58
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:43.560
just feel really lonely. I know
for myself, I would be at parties

59
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.519
or at a friend's house and there'd
be a bunch of people there, but

60
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:53.879
even though there was people physically there, I felt so lonely. And that

61
00:04:54.040 --> 00:05:01.319
is when really I realized that it's
not about the physical feeling. Lonely isn't

62
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:09.319
about our connection to others. It's
about our connection to self. Because when

63
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:16.160
you put the equations together and you
reflect on your life experiences, maybe you're

64
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.720
like me and you're like, yeah, I've had experiences where I was around

65
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:24.240
a bunch of people but I felt
so lonely. But yet I've had time

66
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:31.240
when I was completely alone in solitude
and I felt fulfilled. If that's true,

67
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:39.319
at least for one person, then
loneliness isn't about our connection to others,

68
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:45.399
but our connection to our self.
The first thing I want to invite

69
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:51.519
you to do if you're experiencing loneliness
is to lean into the energy, because

70
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:57.240
that energy wouldn't be showing up in
your life if there wasn't something for you

71
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:01.959
to learn from it. All of
the energies we experience, there's medicine in

72
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:08.319
these energies for us to learn about
ourselves, to learn about the world and

73
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.319
evolve loneliness. When we're feeling it, what's the first thing we want to

74
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.160
do? Run away from it.
Run away from it, run away from

75
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.600
it. Okay, yeah, it
doesn't work. I tried. I would

76
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.519
go out every single weekend, I
would drink my little tail off. I

77
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:29.879
would try to avoid, avoid,
avoid loneliness. And eventually those distractions of

78
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.439
the drinking, of the partying,
of the going out, they don't work

79
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:38.439
anymore. They don't distract you anymore. And being in denial of our feelings

80
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.720
doesn't mean the feelings just boof away. It means the feelings get bogged down

81
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.839
and will pop back up later.
We can't outrun loneliness, but we can

82
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.199
turn around, we can face it, and we can dance with it,

83
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:59.839
because that loneliness is just an invitation
to connect to yourself deeper. What if

84
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:04.079
you leaned into the loneliness. What
if you sat in the loneliness and you

85
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:11.959
bathed in the loneliness and you allowed
yourself to just feel it instead of running

86
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:17.839
away from it. Loneliness is really
interesting, and being alone is really interesting.

87
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:23.720
And how we see these terms and
mingle them with one another is interesting

88
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.240
because I just know that there is
a mom out there with five children right

89
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:33.160
now listening to this, praying for
a lone time, praying for solitude.

90
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:39.600
And then there's someone listening to this
who's praying for a partner for connections for

91
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:46.120
more people. We want to honor
wherever we're at, because each season is

92
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:53.000
in fact temporary. As deep as
we feel loneliness, we're also going to

93
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:58.319
feel completely fulfilled and connected to self. This is a law of polarity.

94
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.199
As far as the pench swings in
one direction, it must and it will

95
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.480
swing in the opposite direction. So
when the seasons are good, we want

96
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.959
to celebrate that the season is good, and when we're feeling lonely, we

97
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.000
want to celebrate that, Oh good
I'm having this season. Now I'm feeling

98
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:20.879
these lower vibrational emotions. Now that
means that my next one will be oh

99
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.839
so in the opposite direction. As
far as the pendulum swings in one direction,

100
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.959
it must also swing in the other. Understand that if you are feeling

101
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.480
a deep sense of loneliness right now, it's not forever. It's for now.

102
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.679
And if you lean into it,
if you let yourself cry, if

103
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:45.440
you let yourself journal, if you
let yourself experience the loneliness, it will

104
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.639
move through you and it will leave. But it wants your attention because there's

105
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:56.080
something you have to learn from it. I used to see alone time as

106
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:00.879
something that would equal loneliness. I
used to see alone time as something that's

107
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.440
really really negative, and I asked
myself, Cecy, why were you so

108
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:13.000
afraid of this? Forget codependency,
because that definitely played a role, But

109
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.840
on top of that, the first
time I really experienced loneliness in an intense

110
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:24.080
way was when I stopped being friends
with this group of girls. And I

111
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.679
was friends with this group of girls
from about well most of them from kindergarten,

112
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.519
throughout high school, and then maybe
like the first or second year of

113
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:39.200
college. I can't even remember when
it ended. But one day all of

114
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.000
them, for whatever reason, decided
not to be friends with me anymore.

115
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.840
And I remember crying to my mom
and just breaking down because I was seeing

116
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:54.240
them on Snapchat going to parties and
not inviting me. I was seeing them

117
00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:00.440
hang out with each other and not
inviting me and shamelessly posting it all over

118
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.399
social media so you know I would
see it. And I remember feeling such

119
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:11.000
an intense emotion of I feel really
betrayed right now because I have no idea

120
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:18.000
what happened. Number one. Number
two, I have FOMO because I feel

121
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:24.159
like I'm missing out on all these
experiences that I should be having too.

122
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.440
I thought these people were my friends, and I was crying to my mom,

123
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:31.759
just saying I didn't do anything like
I would fully admit if I did

124
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.320
something. I'm a good person.
I've been good to them. I don't

125
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:41.240
know what's happening. And I hated
this time, like I really hated it.

126
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:48.360
I hated it because I started to
associate being alone with fomo and being

127
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.440
betrayed and left out. And I
was somehow like this loser because I didn't

128
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.440
have these friends anymore and they were
going out and I wasn't. And I

129
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.720
made such a negative meaning around lonelyiness
that every time I was alone or had

130
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.000
alone time, I would be like, oh no, I can't have alone

131
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.159
time. I have to go out. I have to go to a bar

132
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.159
or a party. I have to
make plans. And I was forcing myself

133
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.000
to go out when I was a
thing exhausted. I was forcing myself to

134
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.600
go out when I didn't want to
go out. And it was all just

135
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.799
so I could run away from this
feeling of loneliness. And all that did

136
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.919
was delay my own healing and make
me really tired. And maybe I made

137
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:30.759
some mistakes along the way with some
men, but we don't need a rehash

138
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:35.600
of that right now. Anyway,
I gave being alone a negative meaning,

139
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:41.080
and I want you to check in
with yourself. Are you giving the concept

140
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.519
of being alone a negative meaning?
Because if you are, you're gonna run

141
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.399
from it and you're not gonna want
to feel it. If every time you

142
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.480
were alone when you were a child
it was because your mom was at work

143
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.039
and so you felt abandoned, you're
never gonna want to feel alone again,

144
00:11:54.759 --> 00:12:01.279
and so you're gonna run from it. Also, there's a biological need here

145
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:07.120
for socialization. In tribal times,
if we were cast out of our tribe

146
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.320
and we had to survive on our
own, we had to know which berries

147
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.320
were poisonous and which ones weren't.
We had to hunt the tiger and also

148
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.159
survive the tiger. We had to
build our little hut, We had to

149
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.159
make our clothing, We had to
survive an unknown weather climates all on our

150
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.480
own. We couldn't and we would
die. So being rejected from a tribe

151
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:33.240
literally equal death. And that biological
need to be social and attached to a

152
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:39.159
tribe is still within us, and
it's really really high when we're especially teens

153
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.759
and these young adults, we really
want that socialization. As we age,

154
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.759
we get more comfortable with being alone, I will say, and you get

155
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.519
more comfortable just being yourself. And
so there's this biological piece that wants to

156
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:58.559
be social. And then there's possibly
the meaning we're creating about being alone.

157
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.240
Maybe we think it just equals little
holiness. Maybe we think it equals betrayal

158
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:07.960
and death and all of the sadness. But I have come to reframe alone

159
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:15.919
time as selective solitude. Alone time
is not something that I'm doing because I

160
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.360
have no other choice. I'm not
choosing to be alone because I'm cast out

161
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.519
of this friend group and I have
no one else. I'm not choosing to

162
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:28.600
be alone because I have no other
choice because I'm a loser. I'm not

163
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.360
being alone because I was rejected.
No, I'm choosing to be alone because

164
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:41.240
I simply like being with myself.
And maybe you don't like being with yourself

165
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.919
just yet, so you're thinking,
well, selective solitude doesn't really sound that

166
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.039
great to me. Because I don't
want to hang out with myself, then

167
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.759
you don't know yourself, and that's
even more of a reason that you need

168
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.159
to date yourself and hang out with
you and get to know who you are.

169
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.320
Because there was a time in my
life where I didn't want to hang

170
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.639
out with myself because I thought I
was boring. And then I started dating

171
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:03.480
myself. I started reading, I
started learning, I started listening to new

172
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:09.759
information podcasts, I started playing more
pianos, singing, creating tiktoks, creating

173
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.600
a podcast, and I was like, Wow, my energy is actually so

174
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.919
cool. And I would have never
known that about myself if I didn't spend

175
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.039
time with me. How do you
get to know anyone? You have to

176
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.279
hang out them. So if you're
not hanging out with yourself, don't you

177
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.440
dare say you hate yourself or you
don't like yourself because you don't even know

178
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:35.399
yourself yet. Reframe your alone time
not as something negative, not because you

179
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.639
have no friends, not because you're
some loser, not because you're being rejected,

180
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.120
but because you're choosing this. And
this is what I'm calling selective solitude.

181
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:50.440
When we think about selective solitude,
there's a couple of things I want

182
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.279
to bring up to you. If
you want to get good at anything,

183
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.720
you have to practice it. If
you want to get good at piano,

184
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.200
you have to practice piano. You
want to get good at knowing yourself and

185
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.799
being yourself, you have to spend
time strengthening your connection to yourself. You

186
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:15.080
have to quite literally practice being you
or this new version of you. Yeah,

187
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.679
there is definitely, I would say, external pressures for us to go

188
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:24.360
out beyond the scene, get engaged, being married, be in a relationship.

189
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.519
Oh my god, it's so tiring, it really is. And I

190
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:35.519
am also seeing that pressure. I've
been in a relationship for some time,

191
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:39.919
and I have people in my life
saying when are you getting engaged? When

192
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:43.360
are you getting married? It's time
and time and time, and giving me

193
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:48.960
their fleeting I just hit my face
on my microphone. But that's how it

194
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.879
feels, honestly, like they're hitting
me with their energy. They're fleeting empty

195
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.960
comments that I simply don't care about, and yeah, that's the only way

196
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:03.679
I can say it. And they've
been asking me just relentlessly, when are

197
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.279
you're getting engaged? Like isn't it
time? And I'm like, why are

198
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.679
you so worried about what I'm doing
with my time and my energy? I'm

199
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.919
pretty sure you have problems that you
probably need to find solutions for. Go

200
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:22.240
do that, okay? Anyway,
So I had to come to a realization

201
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:27.639
in myself that what my life is
going to look like is going to be

202
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:33.159
very different than anybody or you know
what, most people my age, it's

203
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:38.360
going to look different. I have
always since I was little, and I'm

204
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:44.080
telling you this because maybe you can
relate to it. I have always since

205
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:48.480
I was little. I didn't dream
about getting married. I didn't dream about

206
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:53.519
having this big wedding. I quite
honestly thought it was stressful even as a

207
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:59.960
child, like that seems like a
lot. I wanted to be hand Montana.

208
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.519
That's what I wanted. I wanted
to be this star, this singer.

209
00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:06.920
I wanted to have an effect on
the world. I didn't really know

210
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.599
what that meant, but I wanted
to help people heal and I thought that

211
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:12.440
was going to be through music,
and maybe it still will be, But

212
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.960
turns out it was using my voice, through podcasting, through content creation,

213
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.720
through writing. By the way,
show up as her my book. You

214
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:26.240
can preorder it now. The link
is in the bio. Guys. I

215
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.440
have been birthing this book for literally
like so long, maybe like two years,

216
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:32.880
I think, I don't even know. But I put my heart,

217
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:34.720
my soul, my sparkle, and
my tears into this book. I put

218
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:40.759
everything. It is, our positive
Bitch Bible, and I'm so excited for

219
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:42.559
you to have it. It comes
out April thirtieth, but you can preorder

220
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:48.519
it now. Okay, sorry,
I'm back. I'm back. Anyway.

221
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.759
I wanted to be in Montana not
dreaming about getting married. I want to

222
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.440
get married. I'm interested in it, Like, yeah, I want to

223
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.920
do that, but it's not something
I feel like I need to rush in.

224
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.240
And also, I've been with my
partner for so long. He's not

225
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.240
going anywhere, like I know,
we're fine, Like I'm not in some

226
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.599
sort of rush. And there are
people who are in a rush and that

227
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.759
is their big north star and that's
beautiful too. I just don't think we

228
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:21.759
need to compare our life journeys.
And so anyway, the reason I'm telling

229
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:26.720
you this is because right now I'm
realizing that I need a lot of alone

230
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:33.079
time for me to focus on me, on my craft. I know that

231
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.160
once I get married and I have
kids, I'm gonna have a lot of

232
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.240
other responsibilities that are gonna take up
a lot of my time. That's just

233
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.759
the truth. And right now I
have so much I want to birth into

234
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.640
existence. I have so much of
myself I still want to develop, and

235
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:56.799
that requires space. It requires me
to be with me. It requires me

236
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:03.359
to spend time with God and my
jewels and my highest self. It requires

237
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.000
not going out and drinking, not
going out and being social all the time.

238
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:15.680
It really requires solitude. And I've
been fighting, you know, a

239
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.799
lot with my strength to get through
life. That's why I was in my

240
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:23.000
masculine energy for so much of my
life, and that's almost my default in

241
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.240
a lot of ways. When I
feel unprotected, it's like masculine shield.

242
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:32.000
Put it up. I spent so
much of my life fighting with my strength,

243
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.799
fighting for people to change, fighting
to get invited, fighting to feel

244
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:41.720
included. I am at the point
that I am just so tired of fighting.

245
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.400
And I remember one time I was
talking to God and I said,

246
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:51.359
I'm so tired of fighting, like
I don't want to fight anymore. And

247
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:56.640
God just said, well, then
stop. You're the one with your free

248
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.519
will choosing to fight. If you
don't want to fight, stop Instead of

249
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:06.839
fighting with our strength, we need
to lead with our spirit, and we

250
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.960
need to honor where we're at.
I swear to you, God has been

251
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.279
canceling all of my plans. Every
time I make a plan to go to

252
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:18.200
a social event or whatever it is, it's canceled one hundred percent of the

253
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:21.240
time. And I'm like, what
is going on? What is going on?

254
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.000
I get it now, Okay,
I need more time with CC.

255
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:33.000
I need more time with myself.
I need more time to develop me and

256
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:38.880
develop my my aren't my craft the
words I want to give to the world.

257
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:42.599
I need more time to strengthen my
relationship with God. I just need

258
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:48.200
more of it. I need more
space with it. And if you're like

259
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.160
me, and by the way,
you know I'm not Beyonce, there's a

260
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:59.680
reason that five hundred million people aren't
listening to this podcast right now. There's

261
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.039
a reason you are, though,
it's because you are too like me.

262
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.319
We're resonant with one another, We're
in a similar vibration. And if you're

263
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.640
like me, it means you're just
a little bit different. And I feel

264
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.000
like I'm about to choke up.
You're a little bit different. And I

265
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:21.640
have to say, I spent so
much of my time trying to mold myself

266
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.920
to not be who I am.
I've spent so much of my time.

267
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.799
Here comes the nasal here comes the
naislinists. I spent so much of my

268
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:34.480
time trying to like what people my
age liked. I spent so much time

269
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:41.119
trying to be socially included in things
that I honestly just don't care about.

270
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.640
I've done this since I was in
elementary school, I mean, first grade.

271
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:49.079
We're talking and I'm just I'm done. I've been done for years,

272
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:52.519
but even more so now, and
in different ways. I mean, I

273
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.839
remember I would join all the sports
teams to be with my friends. I

274
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:02.880
hate sports. I hate sports where
it's I would do whatever they wanted to

275
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.559
do because I just wanted to be
there. I just wanted to be included.

276
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:08.839
And now I'm thinking I don't care
anymore. I'm just owning it.

277
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.920
I'm different. If you're listening to
this, you're different, like welcome to

278
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.799
the club. You are different,
Okay, you are You're special okay,

279
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:21.039
and everyone's special. You're special in
a different way, though, you are.

280
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:26.480
And I think that if we can
own the season that we're in or

281
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:30.079
the person that we are and say
yeah, I don't like going out as

282
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:34.680
a sporting events where there's thousands of
people there. I don't like feeling all

283
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:38.680
that energy all the time. I
don't like going out every weekend and drinking.

284
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:45.480
I don't like doing these things.
I rather make celery juice. I

285
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.640
rather do a really cool sound bath. I rather go to yoga. I

286
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:55.759
rather spend time with God than gossiping. Own that, because when you own

287
00:22:55.839 --> 00:23:00.839
that, and you strengthen your connection
with yourself, that loneliness goes away.

288
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.279
And even if it's there, so
spend time with it. It's okay.

289
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:08.079
It's not going to kill you.
I used to think that the loneliness would

290
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:11.599
literally kill me. It won't kill
you. It will, however, make

291
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:17.359
you stronger. And if you were
like me and you have those big dreams,

292
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.680
and again, maybe you didn't see
Hannah Montana, but you saw something

293
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:22.079
else and you're like, that's what
I want, or you always had a

294
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:27.400
feeling that you were meant for something
big. Chase that align with that,

295
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:32.039
lean into that. Don't give up
on that because everyone else your age is

296
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:37.000
doing something different. Don't give up
on it, because that is betrayal to

297
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:41.480
your inner child. And it's interesting
because I felt so betrayed by all of

298
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.519
my friends for just flat leaving me, But really I was betraying myself for

299
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:51.400
so long because I was trying to
fit in in ways that aren't authentic to

300
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:55.799
me. And if we're betraying ourself, we're gonna feel that betrayal in our

301
00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:03.519
external reality too. It's so important
that we acknowledge who we truly are and

302
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:08.039
own it. However you show up, whatever you and body, I don't

303
00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:15.440
care if you're out here looking all
kinds of crazy. Own it. And

304
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.599
you know what, my partner this
morning sent me a really good text,

305
00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:25.799
and he said, rational people do
okay things, and irrational people do great

306
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:30.480
things. People who have irrational belief
in what they're doing are those that change

307
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:34.240
the world. So if you have
big dreams, if you have this intention

308
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:40.319
on your heart that you want to
birth something into the world, follow it.

309
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:44.960
Don't get distracted by what everyone else
is doing. Lean into your alone

310
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.039
time, don't get distracted by the
external world. Don't get distracted by your

311
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.640
friends or the people you want to
be friends with. Don't let that seduce

312
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:57.359
you. Go after what it is
you know you've wanted for your whole entire

313
00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:03.319
life. And I'm telling you,
I'm telling you there's a reason that not

314
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.640
ten million people are listening to this
because not ten million people are really meant

315
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.519
to change the world in that way. But if you're listening to this,

316
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:18.079
you are. So what are we
learning from loneliness? We're learning that being

317
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.359
alone doesn't equal loneliness. And if
we fear being alone, that's actually an

318
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.519
invitation to lean into it. We
know that loneliness can't kill us. It's

319
00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:30.599
not, you know, a murderer. It's a energy, it's a feeling,

320
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.160
and if we lean into it now, it will leave us alone later.

321
00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:41.079
What can you do in your alone
time to get to know yourself,

322
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:48.640
to lean into your own personal reality. Things that I did was I experimented

323
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.279
with new ways of being. So
I thought I hated reading, but it

324
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.480
turned out I just hated the types
of books I was reading. So I

325
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:02.559
started reading self help and loone so
and behold, turns out I loved reading

326
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:06.480
self help books. So I started
to read self help. And you don't

327
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:07.799
have to read self help. You
can read any kind of book. Read

328
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:14.400
Harry Potter for all I care.
But start giving your attention to something outside

329
00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:18.880
of just scrolling on your phone.
Because when we're scrolling on our phone and

330
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.279
we see all these lines of social
media and it's two one two on my

331
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.119
clock right now. When we see
these lines on social media, it can

332
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:29.759
make us feel like we're missing out. You're not missing out. Most of

333
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:33.039
the people who are on social media
pretending to have a perfect life are miserable.

334
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.200
So don't care about them. Care
about you, and refocus on yourself.

335
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:44.759
Read books. Learn something new,
whether it's a language, or maybe

336
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:47.640
you're reading self help books, or
you're learning something new in that way,

337
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:52.279
you can order pre order show up
as her link in bio. Maybe you

338
00:26:52.519 --> 00:27:00.160
are just experimenting with meditation, you're
experimenting with a new work plan. I

339
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.279
invite you to find a strain that
serves you. Maybe that's working out.

340
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:08.480
Finding a strain that serves you means
you pick something that's kind of difficult to

341
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:12.400
do, but you do it anyway
to show yourself how powerful you are.

342
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:18.640
So for me, running is something
that not enjoyable, but I would do

343
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.200
it anyway to show myself how powerful
I am. So maybe it's working out

344
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.440
three days a week or reading that
book or learning a new language, And

345
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.319
you're gonna tell yourself, I'm going
to pick a strain and I'm gonna do

346
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:34.160
it anyway, and I'm going to
show myself how amazing and cool I am.

347
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:37.640
Maybe you want to date yourself and
just take yourself out to a new

348
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:44.160
restaurant or to the beach, take
a walk on the beach. Go earthing.

349
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:47.640
That's when you take your bare feet
and you walk on planet Earth.

350
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.599
Go sunngazing where you stare at the
sunset or the sunrise and you just connect

351
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:57.680
to the sun's energy. Spend time
with yourself. And what we're calling this

352
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:03.519
is selective solitude. We're choosing to
be with ourself. And by the way,

353
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:11.920
if you are feeling really lonely,
date the divine because there are spiritual

354
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:17.759
beings that are with you twenty four
to seven loving ancestors, God, your

355
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:22.079
higher Self, your angels that are
there with you all the time. If

356
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:26.240
you feel like you don't have support
in the three D, if you feel

357
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.880
like you don't have friends and family
supporting you, call on your spirit team.

358
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.880
Say spirit guides of highest love,
truth and connection, connect to me

359
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.759
now, let me feel your presence
in my life. Give me a sign.

360
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.079
And just you wanting to connect with
your spirit team is a sign that

361
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.400
they're wanting to connect with you too. And by the way, they're always

362
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:47.839
wanting to connect with you. But
you have free will, so you have

363
00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:52.200
to be the one to connect with
them. So date the divine date yourself

364
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:57.000
hang out with you. You are
going to learn so much about yourself that

365
00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:02.119
being with other people could have never
talked. You're gonna learn so much about

366
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:07.079
yourself that forcing yourself to go out
drink at the bar could have never taught

367
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.640
you. And I'm not saying to
never be social. I'm just saying,

368
00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:15.240
if you're in a season that's more
isolated, honor it. I'm saying also

369
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.039
add in time that if you're social, you also have time just with you,

370
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.079
because remember, there may be a
season one day when you do get

371
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:26.240
married and you do have kids,
that you're gonna be like, damn,

372
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:29.759
I wish I had some of that
alone time right now, loneliness. What

373
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.440
even is that? I could not
fathom it. I always think about that

374
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:38.599
show Alone, where these experts go
into the wilderness all alone, then they

375
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.880
have to survive. And when these
people are dropped off in the middle of

376
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:47.359
nowhere and they're all alone, they
are so happy. They're like, finally,

377
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:51.319
I love this for myself. I
can't wait to be all alone and

378
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:55.240
put myself to the test. You
can see this period or this season of

379
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:59.400
your life simply as an experiment.
What am I gonna do with myself?

380
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:03.079
What am I going to expand within
myself? And I was talking with my

381
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.640
shaman the other day, and she
was talking to me about how these great

382
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:14.119
leaders that we know and love,
these great speakers, these really successful people,

383
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:21.160
they all got where they are by
spending some time alone with themselves.

384
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:30.640
They all practiced solitude. And if
we're trying to run from that solitude again,

385
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:37.000
we're just distracting ourselves and delaying our
own progress. We are human,

386
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.920
so that means that we get good
at what we practice. If we practice

387
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.599
being alone, it's not gonna be
as scary. If we practice being with

388
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.880
ourselves, we're gonna get good at
being by ourselves. If we practice being

389
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.319
with ourselves, we're gonna get good
at being a human being ourself. Especially

390
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.240
if you're wanting to quantum leap into
a new identity, you have to practice

391
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.960
being that new identity, for it's
a fully man of fest into this three

392
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.720
D and to have that quantum leap. So this alone time is a gift.

393
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:07.920
It's a gift for you to get
to know who you incarnated as.

394
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:14.960
It's a gift for you to expand
and strengthen your gifts that you already have

395
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:19.920
within yourself. I recently made a
TikTok and I was just talking about since

396
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:25.400
I mentioned gifts, how we are
told that our gifts are given to us

397
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:30.240
simply for other people. And while
I think that our gifts have a side

398
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.599
effect of helping other people, I
think our gifts are given to us for

399
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:38.519
ourselves to use when we need them. Think about when you use your gift

400
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:42.480
the most, maybe it's writing or
singing or dancing. We use our gifts

401
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:48.119
the most when we're suffering, because
we're transmuting that lower vibrational energy into art

402
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:55.680
into creation, and we're transmuting the
sadness into power. We are giving gifts,

403
00:31:55.759 --> 00:32:00.680
I really believe, as a vehicle
to help us transmute our pain,

404
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:06.960
as a vehicle to help us transmute
our suffering. Our gifts can only be

405
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:10.759
strengthened if we give them enough time
and energy. So if you're choosing you're

406
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:15.559
having selective solitude like I am in
this season, maybe this is for you

407
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:21.279
to strengthen your gifts and use your
gifts so you can heal yourself. It's

408
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:28.839
not always about other people put yourself
back on that pedestal. Selective solitude doesn't

409
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:31.440
mean that you can't be in a
relationship. I'm in a relationship. It

410
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:36.160
doesn't mean you have to excommunicate everyone
in your family. I'm not doing that.

411
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:42.400
It means that we're intentionally creating more
time and space to be with just

412
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:47.240
our self and our spirit team.
To remember that our ascension is not upward,

413
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:52.000
but in word, to remember that
the light is within here, not

414
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:58.759
out there, that our good vibrational
emotions come from within, they cannot just

415
00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:01.720
be sparked from out there. This
time is a gift, and if you're

416
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:06.799
going through it, guess what so
am I? This is similar to like

417
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:12.359
another Dark Knight soul for me,
I experiencing intense need of alone time and

418
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:16.480
self solitude and really getting to know
me again and expanding. I love you

419
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:22.160
so much. If this episode gave
you any sort of comfort, I'm happy

420
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:25.880
it did and the sparkling me honest
sparkling you. If it helped you,

421
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:30.640
please leave a positive review on Apple
Podcasts and Spotify. It really helps this

422
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:34.079
podcast grow. If you could share
it with a friend or family member,

423
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:37.640
you never know who could maybe need
to hear these words, and if not

424
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.759
for me, do it for you
because good karma and I will see you

425
00:33:40.759 --> 00:34:10.559
in the next one. Cancel,
don't cancels, Mets be, kiss me,

426
00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:13.119
kiss me,
