Welcome back to What's Next with the Chief Librarian, the place where purpose meets power and where we talk about the moves that matter. I'm your host, the Chief Librarian. And today I'm bringing you a conversation that's framed for impact. Joining me in the studio is the unstoppable My Kia J, founder of UniquelyFramed.net, and the visionary behind the My Kia J experience. She is a powerhouse accountability coach who's a brand architect, and she is so creative that her creativity helps others to form real and lasting transformation. I can speak to that. She's here to drop gems on entrepreneurship, accountability, and how to design a life that's purpose-built. So grab your pen, your planner, and maybe even your receipts. Because today we're diving into what it really takes to show up, to stay consistent, and to get it done. Y'all ready? Let's get into it. So, sis, what energy are you walking in today?

SPEAKER_03 1:52

Hey friends. Hey girl. Walking in all the energies, all energies as we go, whatever becomes of this. I'm coming in with high energy, but we're gonna see where it goes, right? I'm here to be honest, authentic, and you know, just who I am on a daily basis.

SPEAKER_00 2:09

Okay, I love that. So first I just want you to talk to the people about what inspired the Mikey and J experience.

SPEAKER_03 2:16

So the Mikey and J experience came from a host of entrepreneurial experiences that I had attempted. So if you know anything about me, I have tried a lot of things. I feel like I have lived 90 lives in this short period of 39 years. Um, I have done business with chocolates that was chocolate goodies. I had done mommy and me dinner sales during the pandemic. I rolled into doing seafood egg rolls. Um, I also have been a photographer, photography studio owner. I've done it all. I have done coaching, I still do coaching. I have done, like I said, it all graphic designing, brand coaching, yes, branding. I'm trying to let listen. I'm like, I was doing media at a church at one point. Like I have done so many things. So the experience is that you can come in for one thing and end up somewhere else, right? You can come to me for branding and end up being a coaching client. You can come to me for coaching client, and then you grow and evolve so much that you end up branding and doing photography. Like it just is an experience, and I provide things that are going to help you change your life, see you in a better way, frame yourself differently, and evolve into the person that you've always desired to be and who God made you to be.

SPEAKER_00 3:43

And I can attest to that. I cannot wait for us to get into that. So, what led you into becoming an accountability coach?

SPEAKER_03 3:51

So, accountability coaching was another thing that came from me diving into my own healing journey. I knew that I wanted to do coaching, I didn't know what kind of coaching. At one point, I really honestly thought it was going to be fitness coaching. So, once again, on IG, my name used to be Makia, the Mighty Fat Funeral. That's what it was. The Mighty Fat Funeral. And in that portion of my life, that was like 2013 to maybe like 2016, 17, my platform was all about fitness. I was doing beach body, I was a vegan, I was doing kickboxing, I was doing all of these things. And gotten to the point where I was like going out, and people were literally saying, like, oh, you're the mighty fat funeral, you're the fat funeral girl. And I remember being in the gym a couple of times and being like, Oh, this is my brand, right? My brand is health, even though I've never been super skinny, I could be healthy, right? So that's what I thought. So I got certified for coaching and I did multiple certifications for it. And then like life happened, and I was like, Yikes, I don't want to do health, I don't want to do fitness, and I don't want to be a generic life coach because there's so many elements of life. And in 2021, I took this deep dive into like love, self-love, and awareness. And I was like, first of all, to deeply love yourself, you have to be self-aware. And to be self-aware, you have to be accountable. And I don't think the issue is just that we have a hard time loving ourselves. I think that we have a harder time being accountable to ourselves because sometimes it's even easier being accountable to your children, being accountable to your work, being accountable to your partner. But when it comes to yourself, the accountability, we find so many excuses not to take care of ourselves, right? And so I always used to say, you don't have to bribe yourself to take care of something that you love, right? We love our children, we don't have to like even second guess it. So why is self-love something that we second guess? Like you don't have to worry about taking care of something that you love, you naturally do it. So the issue is we don't love ourselves, but furthermore, we don't hold ourselves accountable to love ourselves. So I knew accountability had to be my thing, and I knew that I wanted it to be self-accountability.

SPEAKER_00 6:22

Yeah, no, I think that is so amazing, and I love that you broke down how you got there. For me, I have participated in your accountability coaching, and that is how I am here sitting, you know, before you hosting this podcast, because you showed me who I was, right? You helped me to see me for me and embrace my complete self, my authentic self, and just keep growing. So for that, I am truly thankful.

SPEAKER_03 6:52

I am thankful to you for showing up. You know, the receipts are in the people that I have worked with, right? Like when people are talking about going through coaching, I'm like, my testimonials are my receipts.

SPEAKER_00 7:06

They absolutely are. I mean, we get yes, we are gonna talk about that. So, a part of that I know because I experienced how you guide your clients to be consistent, to stay consistent, especially when we want to quit. But let's talk to the audience about maybe not specifically our group. You don't gotta get put out of business out there, but whatever, you also can as well. But I want to say, how do you guide the clients to stay consistent, especially when people want to quit?

SPEAKER_03 7:40

I think that look, I'm like, do I want to really say my trick? Because then you're gonna realize how many times you might have been in the trick page. I think that my trick per se, or my go-to strategy is writing down specific goals that you have and reminding you of them and how close you are to them when you feel like quitting, right? So, like during some of our sessions, I would remind somebody in a group, like, hey, just think about in January when you said this, this, and that, and you've achieved this, this, and that, plus this, this, and this. Like, you want to quit for what? It doesn't seem like it's happening overnight because it doesn't happen overnight, but it happens, right? And so, like in January, when we would write our goals down, it would be March. And some of us had completed like the six months worth of goals, and we're like, the only thing I got from this is that you should be reaching bigger, right? Because this is a reminder. So when people want to quit, you usually just have to remind them like, hey, one, you're never gonna quit on yourself under my watch. Two, just affirm people or affirm yourself, right? Because you're not gonna always have a coach. Affirm yourself of how why you're worth it and how far you've come, and then just like write it down. A lot of us don't know how much we are achieving because we're not taking notes of it, right? Right? Like we hold all of the things prior that we've done, we replay negative things in our minds, but we don't like list the running thing of or tab of goals that we've achieved in such a short time. So most of the time it's just a reminder like, hey, no, you're not gonna quit, you're tired. Give yourself a break and let's start over. Let's like revisit this, but quitting isn't an option.

SPEAKER_00 9:31

So it sounds like although you are the accountability coach, you invest a lot of time in empowering and promoting others to like believe in themselves.

SPEAKER_03 9:44

That's the only way accountability works. I can't hold you accountable. You can only hold yourself accountable. But if I called myself an empowerment coach, people would not be like, I need empowerment.

SPEAKER_00 9:58

No, facts, facts.

SPEAKER_03 10:00

People, people see, it's a tangible thing if it's accountability, if it's health coach, it's something that people can quantify, right? Like, but if I'm just like, hey, I am going to be your number one cheerleader over the next whatever amount of time, and you're gonna pay me, people are gonna be like, girl, if you're what on my face, right? But when I come with accountability and I'm and I am the person taking the notes, the person that's reminding you because I remember several sessions, you know, people were like, Oh, you're really writing this stuff down. And I'm like, Oh, I have a notebook just for you. You have your own notebook. Yes, like not that you're my project, your biggest project, but I am definitely gonna make sure that we cross the finish line.

SPEAKER_00 10:46

Yeah, no, I appreciate that. You absolutely did. And one of the aspects of what I love the most about being a part of your accountability group was the fact that you were very thoughtful each month about the different topics for us to address and cover. And it was almost serendipitous that it just all worked out by the end of our goals, the books that we read, the meetings that we had, whether it was Zoom or in person, you were very intentional about the work that you helped us through. So, how did you create your framework for your accountability coaching? Let's talk. I mean, I know I again I know I went through it, but I want the world to understand, like I said, how impactful it was, not just for me, but for the other ladies who bonded with through that. And there were six of us total, and you also participated. So that's the unique thing that people don't understand. You not only were the accountability coach, but you also participated. So you were a member and a coach of this cohort.

SPEAKER_03 11:48

So I think that's why it has been so remarkable in the results that I seen, even from the other ladies, is because one, I was a part of it and I made myself do the real work. Right. So before we would do it as a group, usually I was doing it the month before. So I was like strategically being like, okay, I'm gonna have them work on this this month because I worked on that last month. But the thing about the framework is I have one person that was in the group that I started working with in 2017. And she fought me to the nail. I mean, it was really bad. So much so that I was just like, yeah, do I want to do coaching? But in hindsight, I'm looking back, I'm like, oh, it wouldn't have happened no other way. It couldn't have happened any other way. I had to be so resourceful with motivating her and reminding her why she was so important and why she was worth this. And years later, working with her, I would still get moments where I would just be like, hey, hey, hey, hey, but then I would always remember like 2017, her couldn't even fathom 2020 for her, right? So even though growth isn't linear and by far, building the framework out, I just remember like just imagine, continue to imagine the higher version of who people could be and who I could be for myself, right? So I just always wanted us to operate in our best versions of ourselves. So like don't think about who you are today, think about who you want to be. And I built the framework out that way.

SPEAKER_00 13:39

No, you absolutely did. And I mean, and a part of your framework was so you're a photographer as well. So I want us to touch on a little bit of all the things that you do.

SPEAKER_01 13:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 13:48

So you're a photographer, and I know that having participated in annual photo shoots, and I have one that's gonna we're gonna be playing it, I'm sure, this summer. How do you connect that to like that accountability piece? So, like to the client you were just speaking about, I know who it is, and I understand that her photos were beautiful because she recognized who she was on the inside. I mean, you always been a beautiful woman, but once she realized who she was, baby, how she shows up today, I absolutely love. How do you take that camera, that lens, your lens, the Marquis J experience lens, and help others to boost and build up their confidence as well?

SPEAKER_03 14:35

So here's the thing, here's the thing about photography that I love the most. Most of us don't know how beautiful we are. Most of us have no idea how beautiful we are until we see ourselves through the lens of someone else. Most of the, like for myself, the best pictures of me have been through the eyes of somebody I love. So either it was like a significant other took a picture of me, a partner took a picture of me, one of my children, one of the boys took a picture of me, or one of my dear friends took a picture of me. And I really would be like, You love me, because I haven't seen me like this before. Like, I can tell when somebody really rocks with me from the pictures they take of me, right? And that's how other people are as well. Like, people get albums back at times without edits and are like in tears. Like, oh my god, this is me. And I'm like, oh yeah, and this isn't even edited. Like, you give yourself a hard time, and this is how you show up in the world. So, as far as like accountability and culture, once we see ourselves through the lens of others, we immediately see that we're worth it, whatever it is, right? So, like, we stop a lot of behaviors or we start behaviors that we wanted to start for a while because it's like, hey, I'm not nowhere where I want to be, but I'm not nowhere near as close as I thought I was. If I do a little this and a little that, you know, like, so I can't wait one is the first thing for my next photo shoot. It's always the first thing, right? Because like all I need to do is work on this, or all I want to do, da-da-da-da-da, whatever the case may be. And it's like it gives motivation to do better, to show up better, to like present better, or they get all dressed up for the photo shoot, and they buy things and wear things that they would never wear like in real life, and I always love that term, and then they see themselves presented very neatly, very like pristine, and then they're like, Oh, I'm gonna start doing this more often. Like, I would have never put on lashes, lashes is my thing, right? I would have never worn that color, but now I'm in orange over the time. It's a photo shoot for me to realize like orange is my color. So it's that kind of thing. Like sometimes we just need to see ourselves through the lens of others to like appreciate and value our beauty.

SPEAKER_00 17:05

Oh, I love that. I absolutely love that, and I believe in that. And I am someone who takes pictures personally, so I look at pictures and I want the best angle for the person, right? Like it's not going to be my story, it's going to be yours, but I want that. And I realize that, of course, it won't always be like that. People don't have the angles. And you know, one of my sisters is always sending me clips from TikTok on how to pose. Because I don't know how to pose. I have a 15-year-old and baby. I throw the deuces up real quick, and she can pose and she gives it face. And I think a part of the journey why I love working with you is beyond you feeling more beautiful and you you give people the space to be who they are, and you make the best of what it is that they present.

SPEAKER_01 17:53

Right.

SPEAKER_00 17:54

And I think that alone is a gift. So I don't want you to miss that message, right? It's the razzle dazzle that you have that you bring to the set. Because it is even on the set with you, is an experience. You have a producer on the set, you know, there's makeup, there's a team, and it shows in the photos. So I'm always thankful for Makia J experience. And I will always have a Nakia J experience because that is what it is. It's an annual thing. But you mentioned your boys. Do you want to talk a little bit about motherhood and how it impacts the legacy that you're gonna leave for them?

SPEAKER_03 18:31

Yeah, so I would love to talk about my boys. I don't want to ever skip a chance to talk about my boys' motherhood. I started early, which is always the running joke because I started doing things late, but I ended up being a mother early, right? So my friends are always like, you waited all this time to be the first one to become a mother, like that's crazy. But now that 39, having a 20-year-old, the experience is like it's so sincere in the way that we are flowing into motherhood, but also like friendship. And I love that for me. I love that I can make jokes now that he also finds funny, but he's realized, like, oh, she would have never said that to me, like even two years ago, right? So the day I was doing my wife's hair, and he said, Is that what she's cooking, or is that what you're putting in my hair? And I was like, What I'm putting in your hair smells like pineapple. I said, You're smelling her cooked fried scramble. And he was like, I said, What does this smell like? Doesn't it smell like pineapples? And he said, Oh no, it smells like Carlita, and I was like, Don't be smelling my wife, and he laughed so hard, he was like, My mother, and I was like, No, no, no, no, no, I said, Don't be smelling my girl. That's what I said. Don't be smelling my girl, and he was like, Yo, I cannot wait till my kids get older, so I can be like, don't be talking to my girl like that, don't be pushing up with my girl. He was like, But it's only gonna be funny once they're this age. That's great, and I was like, Yeah, so I love that. I love that he is my oldest, his name is Tyler, is maturing into being very much first and foremost, my child.

SPEAKER_02 20:29

That's right.

SPEAKER_03 20:30

So we are gliding into another level of friendship, and then I have my 14-year-old, and I'm not sure when this will drop, but he'll be 15 on the 13th.

SPEAKER_01 20:43

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_03 20:44

My Gemini baby. I know we did this thing at the same time, Tiff. Yeah, 15-year-old Capricorn. I have a 15-year-old Gemini, these 2010 babies. Listen, we we thought that that was a great idea, anyway. So that one is me all over again. Um in the best ways, though, right? Like I always says he's the best version of me and the best version of his father, all in one. He's so intelligent, he's so witty. Both of my boys are charming, both of them are very partsy, very charming. We were at a graduation party yesterday, and we were helping set up. There were chalkboards, and I threw like handed them to him, and I was like, draw stuff on it for so one could go on each table. And his godmother looked at him and was like, I didn't know my baby could draw, and I was like, he does it all, right? And she was like, No, but this isn't like kid drawing, he can draw, and I was like, Yeah, like he's really talented, right? So my boys are really, really cool. Motherhood has not been easy, motherhood has not been hard, motherhood has simply just been worth it.

SPEAKER_00 21:53

Oh, I love that. And I mean, they're looking and they're watching their mother through all of her eras and evolutions, and you're grossed. And you know, you touched on this a little bit, but how do you lead in a way, whether it's your family, it's your business, it's your you know, your personal life, how do you lead in a way that feels rooted and real so that you know it's no disconnect.

SPEAKER_03 22:18

So we touched on it earlier when I was talking about authenticity. I lead in a way one that I will want to be led. I lead in a way that I'm not sure if even if I'm leading you, you know that I am leading you. But when I lead, majority of the time it feels like partnership. And I lead in a way that's authentic to me. I don't feel like leaders are necessarily managers of things. I feel like leaders help you divinely settle into what it is that you want to do, you desire to do, and you get to where you're going, and at the end you're just like, oh no, this probably wouldn't have happened without your guidance or your leadership. But the entire time you still own the work and effort that you put into it yourself, right? So when I lead, I lead with the person in mind and not necessarily what I want the outcome to be, but what I know they desire the outcome to be.

SPEAKER_00 23:26

Yeah, no, that's amazing, and I love that. So it sounds like you lead from beside someone, you may have to nudge, you know, a little bit, you may have to walk ahead of them to kind of lead the way, but you adapt your leadership to depending on who you're working with.

SPEAKER_03 23:44

And I think that's just like motherhood, right? It's similar. I know that you have Taylor, I have two, but you've been around several children, and you know, you've been around other parents that have multiples. When you have one child, you know that that how to parent that child.

SPEAKER_01 24:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:04

But then when you have another child, you realize very quickly that whatever you did with the first one, even early on, from like sleep patterns and feedings and all of those things, the way that you parent one child, you cannot parent a different child. They don't adapt the same way, they don't hear the same way, they don't receive your jokes, humor, or you know, like some children are very sensitive, some children are hyper focused on certain things, hyper aware of other things. Like it's just different. And when working in leadership, that's how it is. I could never coach you the way that I coached some other ladies that I worked with, right? Our relationship grew so strongly because I had to coach you from the lens and viewpoint of a friend.

SPEAKER_01 25:04

Right.

SPEAKER_03 25:05

You wouldn't receive feedback from me if you didn't trust me, right? You wouldn't receive feedback from me wholeheartedly if you didn't know for sure that I had your best interest in mind at all times, right? So when coaching you, it was just like, hey, friend, yes, I you will get on a session, but then I will have a call with you later, right? Because we need to have a separate conversation. But I also knew that it needed to feel like a check-in, right? So much so that now coaching is done for us, but check-ins is still a part of our relationship, right?

SPEAKER_01 25:47

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 25:48

So that's like leading in general, and I think this is for managers, I think this is for executives. You have to be accountable for the people that you lead one, but it has to be a personal journey for each person that you lead.

SPEAKER_00 26:00

No, you're right. You need to know when to hold them and when to fold them. And as you learn and as you lead, everyone's experience is going to be different. But the other part is your experience with each person will be different. And I think sometimes when people try to fit a square into a circle, is where some of the friction comes in. Just kind of listen to people, be open, and then lead them for where they need to go, not where you want to own, only where you want to see them. And I appreciate you and your leadership style because, like I said, to be able, it was like, I often say I have a teenage daughter, and all of her friends are usually here with us. And it's like herding kittens, trying to get them out the door. They want to go do something, but it's like five or six of them, and everybody got makeup, and everybody here gotta be laid, and the edges got, and I'm like, it's like herding kittens to get them out the door. Sweetest children ever. But you had to do that with grown women, women who had goals, women who had already had opinions, who already had we were standing on business, whether it was the wrong business or the right business or whatever, you know, and we had strong opinions of ourselves and others. And I was was humbled in your cohort, and I also learned so much not only about myself, but about others. And it really helped my heart to continue to open up and not close because I'm someone that when I get annoyed, I just close off and it's like next. And that group, the group really helped me to love and explore differences.

SPEAKER_03 27:35

Yeah. Even with you, your clothes off, Tiffany, wasn't ever like hidden, right? So sometimes we would be in session and we went from having it in person early on once a month to being every Tuesday and doing it on like via Zoom. And I'm like, I wonder if she knows I can see her face.

SPEAKER_01 28:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 28:06

Right? So it's just kind of like those things where it's like, yes, you know you, yes, stand on the business of you, but I'm not sure if you know you the way that I know you now because I get to see you a little different, a little clear, right? So I loved that era though. Like it's something about it. I know you were saying that the teenagers are like herding cats. It was just different for me because once you all came out of the standing on the business, whether right or wrong, and kind of opened your heart and leaned into whatever it is that you were fearing, and you got past the fear. I used to just be like, can we take a moment and celebrate the breakthrough? Right? Like it was so it fed my soul in a way that I don't think any other journey, any other job, any other opportunity of entrepreneurship has. Like coaching is like the thing that I have done and would do for free.

SPEAKER_00 29:11

Oh man, I love that. I mean, and you saying that is leading into my next question. Like, you are so creative, you are so thoughtful, you are so giving, you are so invested in others. How do you care for my kid Jay so that when others experience you, there's not that deficit in you?

SPEAKER_03 29:35

Yeah, so caring for my kid Jay in this season looks totally different than it did in other seasons. And without like going on this super long journey of what's happened and how I've gotten here, I just know that if it wasn't for the 2021 version of my kid who was 100%. Given a message from God that it was going to be imperative for me to love myself and not love myself generically. Love myself in the way that I have wanted to be loved by numerous other people. And at that moment, the love that I was looking for outside of myself as well, I heard God specifically say the love that you're looking for is only gonna come from you. Right? And so I had to learn how to love myself in that way. And so in 2025, self-care is more about health and the season of like recovery. I was diagnosed with a critical illness this year. And every time I go to talk about it, I find myself calling the diagnosis. Like I'm so uh leery of naming it just because like I just don't know how I got here, I guess. But a big part of it, like when talking about the diagnosis, when I was talking to my neurologist and my doctor and my care team, they were just like, you know, stress is what this disease eats off of. And if you don't find a way to manage stress, you are going to decline rapidly. And it was amazing to me because for years I was like on this weight loss journey and worried about like not being a diabetic because my mom's a diabetic, not having heart disease, because my dad died, you know, of heart disease, not having like all of these other high cholesterol and all of these things. And so if you know me, you know that I've been in the gym majority of my life, so much so that I was like, well, I guess at 39 I can retire from weight loss because I've been doing it for 30 years, right? Just for this to have nothing to do with weight. This diagnosis is all about stress, right? And so now self-care looks like realizing the smaller things that cause stress and the bigger things that cause stress in my life, and trying to control it because we can't always eliminate it. The things that we can eliminate, I do. Like if you are stressing me out or you cause a great amount of stress, I don't need you. And you don't need me. But the other things, then even for you, you know this a part of my coaching journey of coaching myself was emotional regulation. And if that didn't happen, then I wouldn't be able to take care of myself the way I do now. So self-care looks like just slowing down. I have slow mornings. The weeks that I can do, I do do, the weeks that I can't do, I don't do, and that's with anything. And last year I really, really heard God's voice, and God told me to put down photography, and God told me to stop to end my coaching program. And I remember you all having like so much to say about that. Like, well, no, this isn't really the end. I'm sure it's another one coming. I'm sure the rollout is coming. I'm sure that you'll just you're just saying that right now. And I'm like, no, I remember telling y'all, like, no, God hasn't given me what's going to happen. I just know I have to put down everything possible that I possibly can. And the best part about it is that I was able to put down everything when I hide note. I didn't have to put it down in a failing out of it. It looked like it had got to the best of photography and the best of coaching. And I was told to like wrap it up. So taking care of myself is being obedient to God, taking care of myself is putting me first, and taking care of myself is leaning into community, however, that looks, however, big or small in this season it is.

SPEAKER_00 34:17

Oh, community is how you thrive. And I love that you recognize that and that you also share that with others. As we're, you know, closing out, what's one accountability truth that you wish more people embraced?

SPEAKER_03 34:38

I wish people embraced the idea that you don't need recognition and accolades for you to be successful. You can hold yourself accountable, you can get the task done, you can share it, but even though people don't clip, doesn't mean that it is not successful and that you are not deserving of being your best self. I think too many times we work for the accolades of it all, right? So we only stick to being accountable to ourselves if there's some kind of recognition or award at the end. When sometimes holding ourselves accountable just means that we get to evolve into the person God has called us to be, right? And sometimes that's not going to come with the cheers, the likes, the loves. Sometimes it's just having the ability to honor ourselves and recognize what that feels like when we're proud of ourselves. Right. So I wish that people held on to being accountable first and foremost to themselves more than they're accountable to anybody else, and making sure that we're not doing it just for the highlight rails and the recognition of for other people because once that's gone, we still need to find a way to hold ourselves accountable to what it is that we want, desire, and what we need.

SPEAKER_00 36:08

That's the whole testimony right there. We're gonna have to have you back, Miss Makia J. Serious. Do you want to talk to people? Like, how can people experience the Makia J experience in 2025 and beyond?

SPEAKER_03 36:20

Right now, they can experience the Makia J experience, other than you know, reaching out to me online and saying, hello, I am not offering any services right now because I'm taking care of myself.

SPEAKER_00 36:34

That's an experience in itself because it's the beyond piece. So maybe not yet, but we know that you will come back around. And I just want to thank you for coming on and sharing your gems. I learned more about you. I mean, the more we talk, our connection is deep, but I always learn something new about you, and I appreciate it. I appreciate your authenticity, I appreciate how you show up, how you stand up, how you fight for yourself and for others. And I just want to thank you for coming on the podcast today.

SPEAKER_03 37:07

You're gonna ask me what's next. You ask how people can reach out, but I want to hear the question. I love that part of the podcast.

SPEAKER_00 37:18

So, my key and j, what's next?

SPEAKER_03 37:22

For me, what's next is knowing 100% that God's perfect will be what's next, and I am leaning into that.

SPEAKER_00 37:34

That's the trust, that's the obedience, that is the guidance that only one can give to you. So thank you, my Kia J.

SPEAKER_03 37:41

Thank you, Tiffany. I love being on this side of it this time. Well, I'm so proud of you. Can I say that?

SPEAKER_00 37:50

You can.

SPEAKER_03 37:51

You can just showing up in the best way. I have enjoyed listening to the podcast. The one with the psychologist or the psychologist last week. With the yeah, with the therapist was so good, it was so many gems, but so far, Carol's daughters have been my absolute favorite. I can listen to that over and over again, and I can just really, really feel the love, the warmth, and the connection in it. So I am just so excited about where this is going.
