Give the Gift of You to YOU

In today's episode, I discuss: The importance of pouring into yourself in order to make room for giving unto others. You can't pour from an empty cup. It's not a scripture but a quote, but a scripture to further explain this would be from Matthew 22:39, KJV: "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." You can't give to others what you ain't giving to yourself, simply put. In the spirit of giving, don't forget yourself. Being ok with not having it this time. If you haven't been / aren't able to or just don't plan to give / gift anything, that's ok. Those who matter don't mind; those who mind don't matter.

All You Can Do is All You Can Do - Don’t Fall into the Toxic Productivity Trap

In today’s episode, I talk a little about what’s to o come, what my version of productive is, and the fact that it may look different for and/or may not even be seen as productive to someone else.

Average Consistency is Better Than Sporadic Perfection: A Perspective Shift

This podcast is my personal creative outlet, but it also serves as a reminder, especially, to those who find this podcast along the way to becoming their best selves, that consistency is so important. There is always room for growth and we will NEVER reach perfection, but what I do know is: average consistency is an OXYMORON. Those two things will never exist for long in the same sentence, in the same thought process, in the same room. Anyway, in today’s episode, I discuss how to shift your perspective around how you view consistency and how it can help you finish this year strong without the overwhelm.

For Every Ending There is a Beginning & Life Update: My Truck Was Broken Into

Hey, loves! I’m so excited to be back with another episode, but not so excited about the news I’m sharing. I, unfortunately, have been a recipient (cause I DON’T subscribe to that ‘victim,’ word) of a crime. Although, I’m glad we’re safe, I had some items stolen that held sentimental value, so I’m a little saddened, but so grateful to God that I was able to get my window replaced the next day. In today’s episode: I discuss my personal experience of a crime that’s all too common in the streets of Chicago at this time. I share how I’m moving forward with the end of the a month and the beginning of a new month, as well as ending a new year and beginning a new year soon. I provide some tips on how to take a trip down 2022 using my “RV method” and how to gain some perspective on our lives to avoid the race to the end of the year and to resist the rush and to fully embrace the reset. Things are moving exactly how we choose. We can choose to see things as moving too quickly or moving too slowly; coming too soon or not coming soon enough.

Part 3 of Chet & Tee: Communication & Compassion - Practical Tips for Managing Stress & Feeling All the Tings

PART 3!!! FINALLY!!! Like I said a couple episodes ago, I am so excited to have had Tee come back. Part 1 was spicy, part 2 is for the people who have been down on themselves about any and everything, and baby, part 3 is a reminder that we ALL have blind spots and it’s up to us to communicate with our loved ones so that we adhere to our own standards and help them to rise to them if they aren’t due to their own blindspots. In today’s episode: We continued to talk about compassion–giving it to yourself and others. We discuss the importance of communicating one’s needs to protect and maintain their boundaries and standards. I briefly touch on feeling all the things, being ok with not being ok, and Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D) and what this time of year means for a lot of people. Tee shared her professional perspectives, which is the perfect addition to our conversation. I LOVE IT HERE!

But why do you care? Why is personal development important to YOU, for real??

In today’s episode, instead of sharing part 3 of Chet & Tee, I felt lead to just do an impromptu talk from me to YOU. I decided to let you in on a little bit of the “tea” of where my head has been for the past couple days and weeks...you can even say years tbh. It boils down to a few things and a lot of them stem from these little ANTS (automatic negative thoughts), as well as some core beliefs rooted in traumatic childhood experiences. Take a listen... Journal Prompt: “Why is personal development important to you? Why do you want to become or why is it important for you to become a better version of yourself? For me the simple answer is in Brian P. Moran’s book, “12 Week Year.” He says, “Don’t settle for anything less than the life you are capable of.” Resources: Purchase “The 12-Week Year” by Brian P.

Compassion is a Verb, Love - Chet & Tee Part 2

PART 2!!! I’m so excited to have had Tee come back. Tee is a long-time friend, amazing communicator, and mental health professional so she brings her expertise to the table as we discuss a lot of things that are relevant in today’s society, from self-discipline to self-compassion, and brings a sweetness to the “Tee” by adding a professional perspective to the mix. We had some technical difficulties so it means a lot that she made sitting down with your girl again a priority for her. We made it happen and it’s EVEN better than the first time we recorded. Part 1 was spicy, but part 2 is for the people who have been down on themselves about any and everything. We aren’t perfect and that’s why… In today’s episode: We finished up our drive down the friendship memory lane but also talked about social media beef, the stress that those types of unhealthy coping mechanisms can bring, and a bunch of other things that can happen if you don’t heal yourself and the way you view friendships. We talk about compassion–giving it to yourself and others. We discuss the importance of compassion as it relates to discipline and self-care. We travel through the woes of parenting from a space of trauma and overcoming that through compassion and healing and not wanting to parent for the sake of “not showing up how your parents did” or simply “doing better than they did.” Provide some encouragement to those who may have not been seeing Resources: Don’t Hit Snooze - Wheel of Life Don’t Hit Snooze - Eisenhower Matrix Adaptation Join the Challenge Fam for the “What the Buck?!” 100-Day Challenge FYI, we’re still doing the “What the Buck?!” Challenge; I just haven’t had a chance to talk about it, so I hope you’ve still been able to do the challenge norms everyday!
