Speak about all these things. This is what keeps him going. This is what you need to do in the time when he was dumb out. He looked for a new avenue. Look for a new avenue. Just like there once was a man who had the blues because he had no shoes. Down the street, he met a man who had no feet. I tell you this all the time. Remember, believe in you because you can, you shall, and you will.
SPEAKER_02And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the truth. Good morning, everyone.
SPEAKER_01Welcome to Mental Health Bites. Whoa, what an excited trailer that was, right? So join me tomorrow for Trauma Behind the Glamour, and we'll be interviewing that amazing artist who is right here in New York City, and he's just a few feet from the World Trade Center. Amazing collection, amazing story. When you hear from where he was in life, the where he is today, you definitely would be excited to know that you are not alone. You know, these conversations we have every single week with Dr. Tash Reddy and myself. And this is season two of Mental L Bites, and we have been going strong. People love it because we've been diving the downloads on Spotify, on iHatRadio, Amazon Music, wherever the podcasts you're listening to this podcast from. I just want to tell you thank you so much for the love, the support, the messages, the comments, especially right now on Instagram. Thank you all from all my Instagram followers, all my Instagram rosters, you know, we say all the time, hashtag rosters. So with this being said, is this season we have changed things up? Dr. Tash and myself have been having these real conversations, especially when it comes down to your mental health and your mental well-being. See, mental health is not something that you should stigmatize or be scared of, or think if if I say this is wrong with me, people will think I'm crazy. Those things are in the past. Nobody would tell you you're crazy. Have you ever heard Wentwood Miller and his story? Oh my god. He was one of the first that really started coming out about it. Prison break. Yeah, the stuff prison break we're talking about. So he tells you at the age of 15, he waits till his parents go out, and then afterwards, he takes a bottle of pills. Whose fault was it? You know, Ross says this all the time. Who do we blame for the things that happened in our life? Do we blame ourselves? Do you blame your loved ones? Do you blame perpetrators in your life? Who do you really blame? Right? So you don't blame anyone. Because at that time, he did not tell anyone, he did not speak to anyone about what how he was feeling. So coming back forward now. So today on mental health bites, Dr. Tash Reddy and I is going to speak raw on the energy sharing when it comes to the psychology behind it. Because she's gonna bring the professional and the mental health part with the doctor and the person she is, where I will bring it and show you from a different light. So, without further ado, let me bring up the amazing, the talented, this beautiful woman, all the way in a little country called South Africa.
SPEAKER_02Oh, Dr. Tash.
SPEAKER_00Good evening, Ra. Thank you for having me. Uh, good evening to all the rosters out there. Thank you for having us in your home today. It's evening for me and morning for Ra. So it's really exciting. We've come from two different time zones and two different places. I'm in Africa, Ra's in America, and um it just shows that we can join where uh you wherever we are, and our energies can match uh regardless. So nothing can stop you. So I'm really excited about today. We're talking about energy, and I'm so excited to uh share my energy with Ra and have him share his energy with me and have us share our energy with you. So let's get to it, Ra.
SPEAKER_01Well, you said so many things in that that really hits, right? And number one is when we started Trauma Talk Thursdays um with Britney Parr, I remember one Thursday I told her this, and this is the truth, and I tell people this all the time. A lot of people, especially when it comes to AI, they're still hating on AI. And I think it was back in the 1990s, yeah, night, I think it was in the 90s or the 80s. I think I saw Demolition Man, right? The movie Demolition Man with Subbusters, and he comes home and you see it starts where this person was looking at VR porn and actually having sex on the porn, and I was like, bro, that is mind-blowing to be able to live in this world today and actually walk into that and actually live it where I could put a freaking VR on and do the same. That is mind-blowing. The things that you can actually see happen in front of you, like I was telling someone that's the other day again. Star Trek's, if you watch the latest three Star Trek movies, on in the star right when he goes into in the um captain's office, there is actually spaceships all the way from just the rocket all the way to the Starship Enterprise. And I was like looking at them, and in the world today, every single rocket or or spaceship spacecraft they have created, it just keeps going into that direction, and every like the people that is out there, when I talk about energies that we are talking about, I speak about it, and if you say spiritual, it is a different connection. And when every single person uses the word, oh, I'm a spiritual person, just really understand what you're saying because when we talk about energy connection today, you have to actually think about the mind who put together that they actually saw it, actually materialize it that this is something that is going to happen in the future. You get what I'm saying, right? We talk about South Africa to different time zone to different places, you just know, see how technology, how things connect us, you just keep moving forward every day.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I love it. I love that I can join you in the morning when you're having uh brunch, and you can join me when I'm almost done with supper and getting ready for bedtime. So it's uh quite exciting.
SPEAKER_01Great, and that's the thing about technology, and that's the thing about Dr. Tash being in South Africa.
SPEAKER_00She has all these internet on technical and I'm right here, I'm right here. Um, Africa may not be as fast as the United States in terms of um Wi-Fi connection, but I'm right here, and um yeah, I I'm just so blessed to have Ra. We met uh a few months ago, and uh, from our first time together, we just clicked, and that's what he's saying about energy, and um you know, we now have technology that can help energies come together and then share that with you. So it's not a bad thing, it's actually a very good thing and an advancement um in terms of our um spirituality, our ourselves, uh, who we are as people. Um it's really nice to have people share your energy. You know, today, Ra, I was thinking, you know, I'm well, I'm still going through a divorce, like you know, right? And I had so many people tell me that um, you know, if he comes back, what would you do and would you take him back? And you know, uh what would you do it for the kids? And then I looked back and I thought, you know, for so many years our energies just didn't match. And I did everything I could to survive, right? And then when I came back to myself and I stopped surviving and came back to myself, my energy changed, and that energy matched with you, and it matched with so many other people, and doors started opening that I didn't even comprehend could open. Do you know what I'm saying? It's like it's like when you remove the bad energy or when bad energy is removed from your life, sometimes initially you think that, oh my god, this is the worst thing that can happen to me, and why am I being punished? And then as you go with your energy into that healing, you find that the energies that match with you or are like you come to you, you draw it to you, but when you leave yourself open to attracting it, um, because so for so long we become people who um we keep bad energies with us because that's the only no way we know how to survive. And let me tell you, once you get rid of those bad energies and let it go, pull the plug on it, you will be shocked. You the people that are meant for you, like Ra says, will come to you and they'll be there right by your side. So I'm just so thankful that Ra is one of the people at um who's got my back and who's at my side, and we've been doing amazing things, and I love his energy. Um, so Ra, I think uh the universe just brought us together.
SPEAKER_01You said so many things, uh like I'm trying to put them in place that we're gonna speak about. But one of the things I tell everyone all the time is you think about me, never met this woman before. She is a guest, and she was given to me to tell her story. Here I am now on trauma talk Thursdays, and this is where it gets real, right? I mean, Trauma Talk Thursdays, and this is what I ask. It's been like, okay, I've been doing this for seven years and eight months. I have inspired so many people to pick up the camera after 2020 because they have been seeing me from 2018, and 2020 happened, and then TikTok, the TikTok blob happened where they all think they're TikTok famous and all these things, right? And we go on here, and I've been doing this, and I inspired so many people to actually come out and talk about themselves. But most of the times I take someone's story and I tell them, I say, Hey, you are actually going to tell it as it is, it's not that all that you didn't heal and you're gonna talk about this and you're dragging something along. It's your story, it's for others to understand, yeah, not alone, right? And when you keep my trauma talk Thursdays and you told that story, and I had that conversation with you, I was like, This woman is me. I'm telling you, I was like, she speaks and she lives life exactly how I do it. But one thing I have to tell you since I added that there is this you said you had to reflect to think about the energy. Let me tell you, I actually went through that, and let me tell you something when we're talking about energy. This person I'm speaking about, when you go wrong, them you can feel like you're wrong, the divine, you know, because they pray so much, they believe so much in God and everything that they believe in. I'm telling you this how it is that hurt people hurt people without understanding, and because of generational traumas that come along and the tough love, as we spoke about in previous episodes. This is what causes the person that mold the individual, holds back the love from expanding because of things that's in their mind. I'm telling you, because this person just over the weekend, my sister-in-law told me the same thing. She's like, Would you go back with that person? You miss that person, don't you? The energy was so beautiful. I know that soul. In 2012, in 2010, and I tell the story all the time. In 2010, I was in the mall. I went to see my friend, my best friend from childhood. Oh, by the way, one of my friends, he asked me to do this. His name is Manny Ram, he's all the way in Trinidad. They call him Boys and he has a garage, he had like he has this garlic company. I just want to shout him out all the way from New York City. So um, he told me the other day, he's like, Well, you forget about the small people, give me a shout out on your show number. So, those are your listeners on Spotify. I just want to show some love to my friend Manuram. So, my my other childhood Saeed, he got married and I was in New York, so my grandmother passed away, and he told me, He's like, You never met my wife, come, we'll go for lunch and you'll meet my wife. So, we went to the mall and we had food and whatever, and I was leaving, so they went that way and at that entrance, or whatever, and I went at another exit. And while I was singing, while I was walking out, walking in was this individual, and I'm telling you, it's like a freaking movie. The whole the place paused for like 30 seconds, the time slowed down when that person, that soul, was coming in because I know the soul inside knew that's all the whole time slowed down. It was it's not something that I imagined as fast paced as fast as I move, and the same minute the eyes connect, and you know that something will happen in the future or something is gonna happen, or whatever it is, so you end up with that person, but it's just that circumstance, I'm not making an excuse for that person because at the end of the day, I have to remember that person called me a loser when I know who I am, and you know it and in the spirit of moments again, people say things when they don't know, right? But at the end of the day, is when you want to connect and you think back. As someone once told me, when you see someone, especially someone that you had loved, or somebody that you connect with in your life, a friend, or whoever it is, when you see the person, you don't remember that moment that that person stabbed you in the back, you know, you remember the great things, the beautiful things about that person. Your heart start to feel it. Well, it's not really your heart, but yeah, come back up in here. When it's as you connect with that person, you remember good things, but yes, but when you really do reflect, you have to think about all the things that was not when a magnet is broken, and they take the two halves to try and put the positives together or the negatives together. What gonna happen? They're gonna push away. So when you think about it now, all those negatives you look at, they really have to put you to step into your play. So this is your time to talk. I talk about a lot of stuff.
SPEAKER_00No, I'm I'm thinking about what you're saying, right? So I'm just I'm I'm just gonna go back for anyone who doesn't know. I'm going through a divorce and I've been married for 19 years. I'm still married. And um, let me just say that I can't say that I didn't love my husband, I loved him with all my heart. Uh uh part of me still loves him and will always love him. I always want the best for him uh because he gave me such amazing gifts. One is my baby, and um, he stood by me through times when I really felt like giving up. But now let me tell you when what Ross said about a broken magnet, right? So at the time that I met him, I was a broken magnet because I was very vulnerable at that time, and I had many things that I needed to process and get through. So I was experiencing a lot of trauma. So my energy was compromised. So the usual energy that I have and is inside me was not what was reflecting from me because I was very vulnerable and broken as a magnet. And so I attracted someone who I believed matched a broken energy in me, a broken magnet, right? So we repelled. And in the years that we repelled, I went into survival mode and tried to constantly rub on the magnet to cause um to cause it to attract. And what does it what happens is you cause friction and more friction and more friction and more friction. Eventually, like Ross says, it it repels each other, it it does not want to be attracted anymore, so it repels each other. So, and then we came to a point where our energies, because my my natural energy started to come out, and I realized that my energy didn't match his on any level. So it doesn't mean that he wasn't an important part of my life, or that he didn't um mean anything to me, or that um he wasn't a good person, his energy just didn't match mine or reflect my needs and wants. He didn't it he didn't have what me I needed to sustain me. And I think I didn't have what he needed to sustain him. Okay, so I'm not saying that it was his fault or my fault, but you find in life that you have people around you and you wonder, you know, you have people who you think, oh my god, that person just makes my hair stand on end. I, you know, there's something about them that just drives you insane, and then other people who you you you love desperately but cannot have a relationship with because you just don't you don't see eye to eye, you don't you don't feel like you are compatible anymore. And Rai is saying you you go back to the moment where you think about uh you know all the good things, but you hardly ever think about the bad things. But it's when you start thinking and processing the bad things that you're able to see that your energies don't align, and then you need to ask yourself, how long am I going to live with the energy that doesn't align with mine? And is it fair for me to allow that person to live with my energy when their energy obviously does not need mine, it needs another frequency, right? So at the moment, uh um my husband is living with someone else, and when I look at the two of them, I know that they are perfectly actually happy for that.
SPEAKER_03Okay, I thought we'd have to do that.
SPEAKER_00But what I'm saying is that sometimes we think that certain certain things in our lives happen to be as a punishment, and it's not. Is just the divine and God. Literally, I'm going to say God now because God is a high power. And if you don't believe in God, then really I believe God exists, right? So God really knows what He's doing in your life and He sees the future before you do. And when I broke away from the bad energy, my whole world opened up to energies that matched with mine. And I started to do things that I was really passionate about. And I started to attract the things that I always dreamt of doing. And it became my current life and my current um lifestyle and my current livelihood. Okay. So so never doubt, um, never doubt that energy, that your energy will take you to where you need to go and need to be, but only if you let go of the energies that don't no longer serve you. And it's not being nasty.
SPEAKER_01The crazy thing about it, right? You know, coming back in again, we spoke about um like sexual connections and sexual energy. I don't understand. That's why sometimes you you're intimate with someone just as they're like a hookup or something, and they go crazy about you, do have these obsessions about you, but they they confuse different things, they confuse that energy that's intense, the intensity of it. Because the soul or the or the or the body, or sometimes it's the the horoscope matches who believes or not, and it's just a connection at that time, yeah. But then there are people that you meet that somehow in your mind you know and you don't know until the fun starts unfolding in a direction that your mind so there's an article out right now on um the New York telegram telegraph, and it's about my conference coming up resilience, and then they come up and they said um they spoke about when they ask about my team and who is on my team at resilience, and I start talking and I start saying, Well, who helped what, what what who puts together this and whatever. And I came to Freddie, and how I said, when I read the article and and what she wrote was how it is we put block by block on your trauma talks and resilience, and actually when I reflect now for this is the third conference on Broadway, it's such a big theater and so vast. We're doing this on Times Square, man. This is uh people dream about this, and we're putting speakers on a stage in Times Square together with Grammy winners, together with a past president of a country, and we're doing this, and I reflect from the very first time four all the way 12 conferences ago on March of 2023. We just had our very first mental health conference and when I look back, I saw this guy took time off from work, came, went help register people, and sat in the in the audience and supported me from then. So when I said respecting plays a great part in your life, it does. And let me tell you something it's our 12th mental health conference coming up on June 11th, and every single conference afterwards is man stand by me. Not just stand by me, supported me, helped me. Always trying to figure out a way for it to keep becoming more and more successful, and that it can't be that energy. That is when someone has positive energy to share. Talking about energy, you know, I'm gonna give you the screen. I just wanna there's a question I'm asking right now. So, yeah, you said so many things about the energies and the positives and the negatives in spirituality and and from the past, you would hear people say, Oh, my spirit does not take that person. Sometimes a person walks into the room and the energies do not clash because that person's aura is totally off or dimmed, and yours is too much for them, or something like that. Sometimes you have to share, but I want to ask you when it comes to negative energy, you handle so many clients, so many patients, we would say for being Dr. Tash. When you have an let's say you have someone walking into you, because I know we do psychology, we talk about positives all the time, and people think that they're smarter than you, that they try to always outsmart themselves and God, but they are just faking themselves, right? So we come back down to that. When you have an energy like that in a room that comes there and you have it, and you know all this heaviness is there, and your death is sitting there lying to you. How do you how do you handle a situation like that?
SPEAKER_00Honestly, a lot of women uh I experienced that with a lot of women. Um, they tend to come to me with a a very negative, very um dark uh energy or aura, and um, it's always more um accusatory, so they they're trying to make me feel like uh who I am and what I am is not important enough, or stolen, or uh a stolen identity or something like that, or um, and they question my credentials, they question my life experience, they question my who I am, my worth, and all of that. And I tend to just smile and hug them and say, So I, you know, I'm so thankful that you asked me for that, because that's an incredible, um, you know, it's it's very good for you to want to know all that about me. And I'd love to share some of myself with you. And then I begin at that point of, you know, I learned this trick, Rob. When you look at someone, it's not a trick, it's actually something about energy. When you look at someone long enough, right, they actually tell you where their insecurities lie. So you will find that they will either uh block their mouth or their chest or their their different regions of their body. And I'm teaching you all something now, right? Um, so they will block something of their bodies, and and that will tell you which part of their body, uh, which part of their emotions or mind they actually insecure. They it'll tell you their insecurities, right? So if a person um hides their mouth or their jaw, it means that they're fearful of uh they've never had the chance to speak up or never had it the chance to um to voice their opinions and they feel that they unheard. If they block their chest, it means that they have emotional um uh inadequacy.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_01Dr. Tasha's having some technical difficulties. Hey, you will go on for a whole while.
SPEAKER_00No, I mean you know, I have I I I pick these things up, and you know about someone's energy, right? And I think people think that an energy has to come, uh an energy that matches yours comes packaged as a a and looks a certain way, like you and I. We we're the same age, we're born in the same year. We have um, you know, we've gone through similar life experiences or hurts, not life.
SPEAKER_01So life experiences, hurts, we've been through some of the same traumatic things. That's what she's saying.
SPEAKER_00You know, I I a year ago I met someone who's 36, and um I he literally became the love of my life. We're not in a relationship, but he became the love of my life, and um he is the most incredible human and has has been by my side through most things. And yes, I think if my divorce went through, we would have gotten married, but um it, you know, life happened, but he didn't come uh in the box, people in a box. He didn't, he wasn't my age, he he's not he doesn't have the background I have, he doesn't have we don't have the same educational uh backgrounds, we don't have the same religious backgrounds, we don't have the same moral, uh not moral, but I mean upbringings, upbringings, right? Um, so the same generational um trauma that uh Ra was talking about, we don't have we didn't have that, but we had a certain energy that matched each other that surpassed all of that. I don't know if you understand.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, very, very, very, very well. I understand that very well.
SPEAKER_00See, the thing is she's saying you can have life experience or uh emotional experience or age or um you know, any of those things where it just surpasses all of that and it becomes one with you, it becomes a feeling that's so natural that it allows you to be yourself without holding back, and you know that you are being loved and celebrated in your entirety without having to keep anything away because you're afraid of how anything you're you're afraid, different things like that.
SPEAKER_01She's speaking of. I I love love this conversation today. When you talk about energies and emotional bonds, you can talk about so many things the bonds, everything.
SPEAKER_00Freddie said, Oh yeah, Freddie said, Oh yeah, don't sweat it, Dr. Tash. Um, Ra is that where he he's he's gone. You and I will just chat until he comes back, and you know, and we chatted until you came back, and you really did come back. And I I was so blown away by that because that is someone who understands your energy better, you know, better than anything. And I was there like, where did Ra go? And he was like, Oh no, that's raw, he'll he'll come back just now. I mean in a bit, you know, so and you did, and I was like, oh, that's special, you know, but it's about it's not about having an energy that that comes packaged, it it's about having an energy that truly just speaks to yours. And it um it allows you to be so naturally who you are that you feel you want to just um grow more and more and do more and more and get excited about what the future holds and the possibilities are, you know. So it's it's such an amazing feeling to have that. And uh and I have that with you. I get excited about the future and things we're going to do uh next. And you know, everything I get invited to, I want to say I say to them, no, my co-host has to come with me, and I, you know, I have to tell him about this as well. So it's a it's a very um exciting feeling when you meet energies that match with yours.
SPEAKER_01Because you you said this, you said this, and like we tried this, and I'm telling you, because we're they're talking about Freddie, and we we tried this with someone, and and that person wasn't aligning with us at all. And I wish they could hear this podcast to understand that whereas their mindset is, and we were trying to show them something up here, and they're still down there, we couldn't handle that. So it was it would have been very amazing for you to do trauma behind the glamour with us as well. It would have been, trust me, you would have so much to add to what a person who is an actress or a model, a designer, an actor, um, a singer, musician, whichever artist it is that we interview, like tomorrow, we're doing the the um the artist, actually, Calicio. And and you know, I know you would bring so much different things, but you're talking about energy and the auras of people, you don't have to be living with a person, my best friend Anna, like when I talk about her all the time. I mean, yes, again, the energy of when you talk about horoscopes and the alignment, she's Pisces. I'm Scorpio, your cancer, I'm Scorpio. Again, at the end of the day, the water signs and and what it's meant to be and how it is that the compatibility is right, but it doesn't mean to say you have to live with that person, it doesn't mean to say that's your your that person is your soulmate, and this is what I talk about all the time the connection you have. When I speak to Anna, Anna would not go out there and speak about me in any sort of negative way. I can make her mad as hell. Trust me, and I'm talking about right now, she's probably boiling inside. Every time I have to talk to her, she's probably, yeah, you did not come to my birthday. You promised her. I told you months ago, but then circumstances happened, and Ra couldn't show up, and she probably is boiling, but she loves me so much. That's a connection, it's not a sexual connection. That energy is a total different energy of a bond that is real, love, and I could understand how you speak when you come and you connect with my energy. I have on TikTok, we have people looking, we have the amazing G, we have Chris, we have the amazing ass, they are all looking at us from TikTok live and some other people. I'm sorry, I can't see all the names right now, but just to shout you all out, if you all join us on Facebook, Instagram, on YouTube, and on LinkedIn, we can actually see your names, you can comment, we could shout you out so people on Spotify can hear you on the radio. So, yeah. Hi, everyone, yay, everyone, we're talking about energy heal, energy connections, and the psychology behind it, the mixed signals you can get for the chaos and the exchange when you exchange someone's energy. Dr. Tash can tell you this that the confusion that happens in your mind, emotional highs and lows, the feeling so drained, feeling so mentalistic, losing focus on your own peace. That is the type of energies that you can walk into with another person. So many things happen to you, even if you're in a room with someone negative, the whole entire aura, the everything will turn negative. I am telling you, it happens. Energy has a lot to do with so many things around you, the majority of stuff. You're as we spoke on our previous conference, forgive yourself. I spoke about that when a person prays for you and you think that God is one which we know the Almighty, the divine, however you perceive God to be in your own way, when you sit and you pray in your mind to that energy, that is your energy. And when you ask someone to hey, this person in my life is sick, you are going to your energy to pray for that to for that soul to be healed. This is why I tell people it's better to pray together because that means that's energy and your energy is going to come together and one positive energies come together and it's better, it's more brighter light and more energy for people.
SPEAKER_00I I always say as well, don't you know? I have a lot of people tell me because of my um my recent heart attack, and uh many I've had this is has was my 33rd uh time in theater. So a lot um so I have many have had many people over the years tell me I'm praying for you, I'm praying for you, I'm praying for you. And with all the challenges I've had in my life in terms of my marriage and um many others that I've gone through, um, a lot of people say, I'm praying for you, I'm praying for you, and I love that. I love that you're praying for me, I love that you think of me every day, and you know, you say a little prayer for me. But you know, most times I would love for you to pray with me. There are things that um my energy speaks to um that needs you to pray with me for, and people don't understand that uh the the concept of that that um even the Bible says where two or three are gathered, there I am in their midst, and um you know all all types of prayers, um God asks for a union of energies, a union of spirits, a union of, and I think that's what Sra is saying, that come together as uh as people, as uh energies, as beings, as souls, come together to to uh have a common or a uh a more powerful uh impact or energy uh in in the in the universe. And uh like I was saying, um, you know, it doesn't always come the way you expect it to. It doesn't always uh look the way you expect it to. It doesn't always feel, you know, a lot of people look like uh Ras said earlier on, he says, you know, his friend Maniram said, um, you don't uh you don't think about the small people anymore. So let me give you an idea. Many people look at Ra and I and think we're untouchable, we're unreachable, we we so high up there that you we and you can't connect with us. But that is so far from the truth. Because at the end of the day, Ra and I are still human. We have emotions, we have human uh challenges, setbacks, heartbreaks, um conflicts, many things. It's it doesn't make us experts in uh anything. It it just okay, I know how the mind works, but it doesn't make me um it doesn't uh it doesn't take me out of feeling uh the things that human beings feel.
SPEAKER_03I still lost you there for a while.
SPEAKER_01All right, so you know, internet connections. See how many things she's speaking about right there, the connection and though I'm a therapist.
SPEAKER_00Okay, I'm yeah, I'm yeah, I'm yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, go ahead, go ahead. I we we you see the thing about we keep missing the whole part of the middle part of the story that you're telling because we lose you.
SPEAKER_00I'm sorry, um I was saying that um people you were saying about money Ram, right? Uh Money Ram says that we are too um you you forgot about the small people, and a lot of people think that you and I are uh individuals who are yeah, yeah. So I'm saying that we're not, we go through the same things that uh every day, you know, everyone goes through. It doesn't make us um any less uh there she goes, yeah.
SPEAKER_01It doesn't make us any less than anyone else.
SPEAKER_00We you know, yeah, there are many people it's just our Wi-Fi that's not connecting, but uh yeah, everything else is connecting with everyone else.
SPEAKER_01But that's what I'm saying, right? Um, there are people, and this is the thing, we spoke about this on mental health bytes a little while ago. That's people who do not even have not even spoken to me in eight years or ten years or something, and they will just message me. Uh, this uh I should say uh an acquaintance in my life who was I thought was a friend that I knew from since 200 maybe three. And um, you know, I haven't heard from you since uh since 2020, I think it was, uh, during the pandemic. I think he had came to see my mom or something like that, and then um didn't hear about you. You don't talk to me, but you're always with all the rest of the friend group that we were part of, and um everybody else, and they all I broke up with my ex at that time, and they all just took a side, and it was fine, nobody ever asked me anything, and I don't care. And all of a sudden, you're gonna just you saw my resilience poster on Times Square, and you replied to that post, and you go, Let's hang out, like, bro, are you kidding me? You know me? Do I know you? No, so let it stay like that. You're just a stranger. Now, on that being said, is a strange number hits me up and says, Hey, um, I saw you on Until Bite or this. Can I speak to you? Or do you have time to talk to me and you tell me what's going on with you? And you have something to say, or you need someone to speak to? Oh, we are here for you. But that incident I was telling you about that that's basically I would not answer that call, I would not reply to that text. I'm just being very honest. I hardly speak to anyway. G is on here, he will tell you that. He's probably one of the I I try my best to connect with him because I know the level that we have and the connection that we have, and we talk all the time, and he only brings positive stuff to me.
SPEAKER_00Um, can you hear me? Recently, we had an incident, you and I, with someone, and uh, you know, um, and we thought that it would be over and done, and it would just, if you know, the person would get over it by now, and uh, and it's not, and it's just continuing, right? And then you think, okay, how long do I deal with this energy? How long do I um do I allow this energy into my space? And um, and then you need to make the decision that you need to understand that a lot of people are in turn can get intimidated by an energy that doesn't match theirs. So they they uh become fearful of it, and they become um they feel um that it's wrong for you to have the energy that is uh of a higher frequency than they have, right? And so they will nitpick and they will find fault in you, they will try to penetrate your energy with with holes and try to make you feel like you don't you are not worthy of of having any energy at all, and they will surround you with darkness because your light is too bright, and you will have that, and then sometimes you may find yourself doubting yourself. You may wonder why there's something wrong with my light? Is there something wrong with my energy? Is my energy too much? But you know what? The moment you start to doubt that, understand that the energies making you doubt yourself don't belong in your life. Energies that make you want to grow are the energies that belong in your life, not the energies that make you doubt yourself and question who you are. And as soon as they start penetrating your energy with darkness, is the moment you step back because that's the moment you know that energy does not belong anywhere near you. So I love that is something I want you to be very aware of. As soon as people surround you with darkness and try to penetrate your energy with it, you walk away, step back, and close yourself off because that is not energy you need.
SPEAKER_01Oh wow, Antelia, you you come across a lot of people and people who they they sometimes take this for granted. Like recently, someone told me this on TikTok, and I couldn't like I asked the question, I also told my mom about it yesterday. I said, Did you know the reason why? And you see the thing is I'm bringing it real. You see, most of the time they think that when someone tells their story, it should be in a way of a confusion, a drama must come out of it, and they can use it to weaponize you, bro. I have a whole book here. My books are on my table, and you can have I could tell you something. You want to use weapons on me? Go inside here, and all the weapons you want is in here. Every single thing on Told Story's hidden fruits, the things I see at the end of every story, my story, you can use it and weaponize it in any sort of way, but I told it, it happened to me. You could do whatever you feel to do with it. You get what I mean? So this person comes on and tell me, I said you look at a show, you understand what yeah, but I think you don't get it, and I go, like, my question is the things I see on there, don't you know that I live it? Don't you know I know what I speak about, and I'm speaking about it because I understand how you feel. I understand how you feel, I understand what you're going through, whether it's financial, because that's one of the biggest stuff parts of it. Oh, you don't know because at the end of the day, they look at you like you have so much money that and and and then I was speaking of some someone just recently again about this, too. Is not because you see someone in a place and you always have to pinpoint a number of money on them because and think that they are better than you, that is wrong, and then you expect now that this you want, okay. All right, you know, I have to buy a new car. You expect that person to give you that money to do that, and and if the person is not hearing you when you're speaking about your finances, meaning to take money and give it to them, they start looking at you in a different light. You get what I'm saying? So that is wrong, and that is dependency, depending. I I wrote a whole abstract or novel piece telling someone if someone tells you and they actually open up to you and they trust you and tell you something that's going on, but it's not for you to weaponize it, it's not for you to take or decide to fix that for them. No, if you expect if the person who's telling the story expects someone to fix your problems, that's dependence, dependence on the hands of doing that for you, and you're deciding that before, no, but just asking them to be there to give you a hand to actually lend the air for their time to be there for you, you appreciate it both ways, and the person who is receiving it, you have to know what you're doing with it as well.
SPEAKER_00Absolutely, and I think sometimes uh we don't realize that we don't have to keep giving our energy. A lot of people look at us and they think uh we think too much of ourselves, we uh think we're better than everyone else, we uh have an air about us, um who, you know, we're lucky with what we do. Uh we we um how how is it that things work out for us and don't work out for them? But it's not true. And you think that you have to keep giving your energy, you don't. I have, you know, I'll give you an example. Yesterday I got a message from someone I had met in 2019, and um he's a dear friend, but we we don't even talk. I've seen him once in my life, and he said to me, Tash, you know, I know you haven't been well, but I made a whole lot of sweetmeats. My wife made a whole lot of sweetmeats, and she wants to give some to you. So so can we please come and give that to you? And then he he owns a shoe factory, right? So he made me um these beautiful um uh bedrooms shoes, these uh ones you wear to to, you know, just in it at home. And he made me these beautiful uh shoes just for me. And I was like, wow, this is a couple that only met me once in their life. Um so what I'm trying to tell you is um there you don't you can have an impact, your energy can impact someone just once. It doesn't need to be continuous. So when you impact someone and when you meet anyone, anyone out there, ask yourself what impact are you going to leave with them? Is it an impact that's going to be remembered, or an impact that you're going to um uh constantly have to feed in or feed in, or what is that energy wanting from you and needing from you? And it is then that you will understand that the energies aligned to you will immediately accept who you are, and the energy is not aligned to you, and that is what Ray is saying, they will constantly want you, they will become dependent on you and constantly want you to fix them, and that is and then when you aren't able to fix them or fix whatever's happening in their lives, you become the enemy. So when you find them yourself in those situations, the understanding that you can't always fix everyone's lives, you um you can't always be the person who uh is expected to is depended on. You have to allow people to figure it out for themselves as well. Because the more they drain your energy, sometimes we don't even realize how our energy is being drained. Now, I'm in a profession where I um I have a lot of negativity given to me every single day. Now, I'm equipped to deal with that. But if you are not equipped to deal with that, and also you need to you need to, I give myself a limit of how much negativity I will accept in every day, right? So that is important. You need to understand where your energy level is at, how much you will tolerate for the day and how much you will not. It doesn't matter if you're an expert, not an expert, whatever it is, but you have to be very conditional with how you spread your energy and how you give it out. You have to be very, very uh possessive of your energy and take care of it with everything that you have. And it's fine if people think that you think too much of yourself. Well, hey, you're the one having to take care of you, right? They're not taking care of you, so take care of you, take care of your energy.
SPEAKER_01That's what bringing that into place. I want you to understand. I I always tell people this everyone is the same, but they are different levels. And when people, there's some people who look at you and they just compare themselves to you in a certain way, and then they don't understand, even in spirituality, where your level is and where they're looking down at you from, but they're looking at you at an eye level that they don't understand. It's an eye level that goes like this and not this way. Yes, there's many people don't understand that they will be looking at you in your eyes, but they're looking at you because you are you're helping them, you're looking back at them parallel and going back down there in a different line, not in the same way that they will expect you to be looking at them, and that let me tell you something that didn't just happen by the click of a finger. For most of you to understand, this is we work hard day in and day night when people thinking it's a joke or drama or dream. This is not, we actually stand for what we do, stand for you, but we build your trauma talks, your life, your life experiences are draw, did not just start today. Seven years, eight months of time is number one. Every single time it takes me to travel to get to a destination, to set up, to interview someone, then to edit, put their stories out there, edit out there, be there, the time. Think about that. Just think about that. Would you do that? Would you actually do this? You ask yourself that, and then you're climbing, you're doing it for so many years, and if people actually listen, they will get all the healing they need. So sometimes do not compare yourself and think that you're better than someone just by something you see or know or think that you know. So, with that being said, I want you to notice the energy talk is really good. I want to bring it in more in depth because sexual energy is so crazy that people do not even understand what makes us it's it's it's really uh yes. So, are we talking about that? I want you to know. Remember, we started the show today with air in trauma behind the glamour, which that amazing episode with Alicho is going to air tomorrow. And the guy on the thing, I think his name is Mr. Trauma Talks. What he told them, he said, You know what around with this, and then he went in, right? What is meant for you shall never pass you by, and what passes you by was never meant for you. And listen, everything in life is temporary, it's gonna feel like oh my god, it's killing you right now. You can't move, you can't get up from your bed, you don't want to see the day, you don't want to open your eye, the pain is too much. But remember, there once was a man who had the blues because he had no shoes down the street. He met a man who had no feet. So I want to tell everyone of you this is mental health bites, it was a great talk, and this is what I wanted when we started mental health bites, and this is amazing. Thank you, Dr. Tash.
