Speaker 1: doing well. Sorry for not having a show last week.
Speaker 1: There was just a lot going on. You all know
Speaker 1: we lost Dolly Parton. We lost, what's the young woman's name?
Speaker 1: I wasn't really familiar with her movies, but then I remembered.
Speaker 1: And then Hayden or Peyton. And then also we lost
Speaker 1: Eddie Cain from the Five Heartbeats, guys. It was just
Speaker 1: a lot going on. last weekend. I was just all
Speaker 1: over the place. So welcome back to With Love, Tasha.

Speaker 1: to the shows from beginning to end and pushing play.
Speaker 1: We're now in the month of September. We have three
Speaker 1: months to go before it's over for 2026. And it's
Speaker 1: a wrap just like that, guys. Um, I'm just here
Speaker 1: to give you all a little encouragement because I've been
Speaker 1: speaking to a lot of people recently that have been
Speaker 1: struggling emotionally. You know what I mean? It's just, um,
Speaker 1: A lot of folks are all over the place. And
Speaker 1: that just seems to be the new world that we're
Speaker 1: living in. I mean, just like I just always feel
Speaker 1: like ever since COVID that we just folks aren't as
Speaker 1: happy as they used to be. And we're not just
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just we're all over the place emotionally, financially.
Speaker 1: It's just a struggle for everyone in one form or
Speaker 1: the other. So I just want to come on and
Speaker 1: encourage you all to you know what? Life's going to
Speaker 1: kick our ass sometimes and it's going to knock us down,
Speaker 1: but we have to get back up. No matter how
Speaker 1: many times you fall down, you get back on your
Speaker 1: feet and you come back stronger than ever.
Speaker 2: You turn your pain into gain. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: You make your pain your strength to make sure that
Speaker 1: you climb out of the hole, that you get back
Speaker 1: on your feet. Don't just lay there and just accept
Speaker 1: that I've been defeated.
Speaker 2: Hell no. You come back. You come back stronger.
Speaker 1: You know, I just want to encourage someone that just
Speaker 1: make that pain your purpose.
Speaker 2: Whatever you're going through, don't give up.
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's physically, if it's emotionally, if
Speaker 1: it's financially, don't you dare throw in the towel. We
Speaker 1: have a lot to look forward to.
Speaker 2: Even on the darkest days, there's going to be a
Speaker 2: light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 1: Things can always just last and just be really, really
Speaker 1: bad at some point. things are going to get better.
Speaker 1: And I know emotionally you're going, win, win, win, win.
Speaker 1: I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired. Just hold on, okay?
Speaker 1: I just wanted to encourage someone that no matter how
Speaker 1: many times you are kicked down, get back up, stand up,
Speaker 1: come back stronger.
Speaker 2: Take all the experience and all the trauma.
Speaker 1: You've gone through, you just have to put it together
Speaker 1: and put it in perspective and just go, okay, when
Speaker 1: I turned this corner, this happened. When I fell down
Speaker 1: this time, this happened. You just come back stronger You're
Speaker 1: coming back with experience. You're coming back with the do's
Speaker 1: and the don'ts. You're crossing your T's and dotting your I's. Well,
Speaker 1: I was going to say dotting your I's and crossing
Speaker 1: your T's. I was going to get it all mixed up.
Speaker 1: You guys know how I'm all over the place, but
Speaker 1: I just wanted you all to know.
Speaker 2: Hold on. You know, it will get better.
Speaker 1: And I know this is the time of the year
Speaker 1: when we figure, oh, my God, I'm still thinking, huh, I.
Speaker 2: Was supposed to do this. I should have this much
Speaker 2: money saved by now. I didn't do this.
Speaker 1: I didn't get outside at all this summer. I thought, like,
Speaker 1: I was going to be outside. I haven't been outside.
Speaker 1: I have yet to get outside. And now we're going
Speaker 1: into fall and winter. So there goes my summer. But
Speaker 1: guess what? I had a lot going on. I can't
Speaker 1: just sit and go, oh, wow, I didn't do blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2: It's coming.
Speaker 1: And maybe I was meant to stay indoors. Outside is
Speaker 1: too damn expensive, okay? I had to stay inside this summer.
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to encourage you all to, like
Speaker 1: I said, don't give up, stay strong mentally.
Speaker 2: And this is September.
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 2: We're in the month.
Speaker 1: I want to go to the awareness and want to
Speaker 1: give some love, uh, to, um, some health and medical
Speaker 1: causes for the month of September to kind of break
Speaker 1: the ice here.
Speaker 2: It's a childhood cancer awareness month.
Speaker 1: And, uh, we honor children and families affected, um, by
Speaker 1: children with cancer. My nephew, I want to give a
Speaker 1: big shout out to my nephew. Oh, I have to
Speaker 1: call this a real name now. I can't call him my.
Speaker 2: Nickname, but Robert Bradley, the third up in Reno, Nevada.

Speaker 2: Okay, so my nephew founded.
Speaker 1: The, you know, and got it going, and it's the
Speaker 1: Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation.
Speaker 2: They have t-shirts. You can go to that website, order
Speaker 2: a t-shirt.
Speaker 1: I've ordered mine, and because his son, Deshaun, fought and
Speaker 1: beat cancer, so they know the importance of giving back
Speaker 1: to families, you know, that are going through it with
Speaker 1: their children for traveling, as he said, missing work, you know,
Speaker 1: and just the money. So they're donating all the procedures,
Speaker 1: the proceeds from the selling of the T-shirts to families
Speaker 1: in need. And also we have National Prostate Health, Prostate
Speaker 1: Cancer Awareness Month, focusing on early detection and research for
Speaker 1: prostate cancer. And also, you know what's near and dear

Speaker 1: what we're doing, okay? So hang in there. We have

Speaker 1: you're going through. You get your ass up and you
Speaker 1: keep fighting. You feel good about yourself. You feel good
Speaker 1: about your situation. When you're giving 100% of yourself, no

Speaker 1: given 100%. That you didn't just sit and allow things
Speaker 1: to just happen and go, oh, I'm not fighting.

Speaker 1: when you get back up, you kick life back in
Speaker 1: the ass.

Speaker 1: tell you, this is to help you with your self-love
Speaker 1: and just to remember, the second you start letting the

Speaker 1: you what and how it's going to be you make
Speaker 1: the rules you get up you stand up for yourself
