Test, test. Here we go. Okay. Alright you guys. Like I said, from day one, I wanted to make this as real as possible. So I'm sitting up here in my office after having a complete mental, I guess, mental breakdown, freak out, million emotions that go through. You go through all the emotions within a matter of 10 minutes, working through things and figuring things out. So I figured I would. Come share. So part of it's actually funny too, 'cause I was on the phone with my mom and, mentioning how I was starting this and she was kind of asking why, or, you know, what, what is it really? She's not a podcast person. So, I was saying how most of the days, you know, I'm on my own a lot, most of the days, me and the kids. And I feel like I talk so much in my head, or I go through a million things or have a million conversations in my head. So why not come up here and record and not getting things like out, like dumping them on you guys or dumping them on people. I'm not really going to be sharing things as I'm going in the moment through them, but. It's about sharing how I'm working through things kind of after I worked through them or being honest about, you know, what's going on. Real life like. Real life stuff. And I think that's what so many people are craving right now is that authenticity, that realness. Because here's the thing, right with. AI coming up. What's gonna be happening is it's like you don't know what's real anymore or what's not. Okay, I am back. I got interrupted and it's now a day later. So here we are. That's the realist realness you're gonna get. So anyway, what happened is, I heard the kids come up the stairs. It was like chaos coming into the door. And then I stopped, and it's a day later, but something actually happened in that meantime that is the perfect example of this. It's a great analogy, so I will talk about that. I will go over that, but just to kind of get wrapped back in, is this, what's fake? What's real? People are craving authenticity. Now people are craving and needing authenticity This past year of 2025 was the year of the snake. So it was all about shedding, right? Shedding what you no longer need, shedding what is not real, shedding what is not serving you, shedding your old layers of self. That means shedding within yourself. That also means shedding a around your life, getting rid of what you no longer need. Coming to the realization of. What you need and what you don't need and who like who you wanna be around as well. So it's really this eye opening thing of seeing what's true and what's not true and the stuff that has happened in the world. Obviously what's happening on the world stage, that's also what's happening within your mind, right? Because technically we're all creating that by. The things that we're working through and going through how we are internally is what's happening externally, right? So all of that happening, all of that shedding, it's like this questioning of what's real. It's this questioning of who's real, what's fake, what's the truth? All of this, right? And if you're taking that back down and implying it into your life, I don't know if you felt this or not, but you know, like I said, this is the snake year and this is what was meant to be happening is this shedding of your old self that you no longer need. And in every different aspect of that. As well. So if you haven't noticed thinking about the past year, thinking about what you've come to realize, what you know, maybe people you are around and you're realizing like, that person's not for me. Or you're seeing how,, fake someone was being, or how manipulative or people pleasing, or you're just not vibing with someone anymore, or you feel like maybe you lost friends or family or people around you like that is. Meant to be happening, to be able to see clearly and to be able to move forward because next year we're moving into the horse year and it's going to be like grabbing the horse by the reins and like, let's go. Glowing up, going up, moving forward. Right? S for whatever reason, picture a hor a horse, kind of stomping on a snake, but anyway, from the snake, not like that dramatic, I guess, but the snake moving into the horse, right? Shedding layers, you no longer need. And then moving into the year of the horse and what the horse is actually going to be creating is just like going with. So whether this was a hard year for you or not, I'm assuming that it probably was because a lot of the people that I'm talking to have had a really, not only hard couple years, but a really hard year this year. And when I go back and think about that as well, and in my life, it was just that, it was figuring out what. Is truly important, and I think even since 20 25, 20 20, but especially this year specifically, really seeing it and being like solidified in who you wanna be around, what you wanna be doing, what you actually need, what you actually want, letting go of those old self doubt. Bad. Not even habits, just like thoughts, like the bad thoughts, the things that you don't need anymore. You know, you don't wanna be showing up like that anymore, and you know you're ready to fully let that go if not gone already. So with that as being the background, what I was going to say as far as the authenticity and inauthenticity is. So we'll just get right to the story because I feel like this explains it better. But so my daughter is five, she'll be six soon, and she loves unicorns. Like everything unicorns pink, like all the unicorn pajamas and stuff in her room. Just loves unicorns. And probably about three or so months ago,. She watched a movie. Not, I was not there. I would not have chose this, but it was a, I think more of a teenage movie, but it had real people in it, and it had this like fake unicorn, you know, like an AI generated unicorn in it. the unicorn was like creepy and weird, just not a cute unicorn that you would picture. And I could tell she was upset. So we talked about it and she was just saying that she didn't like unicorns anymore. And because it's a real movie, right? Kids don't know the difference and like we don't really either when we're watching movies and things like that and scenes, our body is reacting to them as if it's happening, like when things like that. We picture things like that and we see actual. Oh, things online when we're seeing things online that we're not supposed to be seeing, like we should not be seeing all the things that are on social media right now. We should not be like watching scary grotesque movies and things like that. 'cause you're actually feeling like it's happening. Your mind doesn't know the difference whether it's happening to you or not. So your body's having a physical reaction whether you realize it or not. So anyway, those real looking movies like. W we can barely tell the difference, but a child cannot tell the difference between what's real. So that looks completely real because there was real people in it. So fast forward to yesterday and what happened in the space between here is a Santa thing, so I don't know if anyone is familiar with those apps you have on your phone where like you can look in and see Santa and it's supposed to like. You know that it was like a little video of Santa talking and saying like, you gotta be good, or all the, and all this stuff. And I think they have other ones where you can like, take pictures of your house even and put Santa in. I don't know, but. Anyway, so my husband pulled this up on his phone. I wasn't really happy that this was happening in the moment 'cause I could see this not being a good idea and it was this little video of Santa and I could tell she got upset again. And so we talked about it. Then the next day it was like, I don't want anything to do with Santa, or I don't want any presence from Santa. So I was thinking about what was happening. It was a similar thing with the unicorn and the conclusion that I got to was that it's these expectations, like our imagination is so powerful and we're creating these visions for ourself, right? So what a 6-year-old child would picture a unicorn to be like, would not be this like janky unicorn that was in this movie. Like I don't know who. I made the movie up, but they're not, it was not good. Like the, your unicorn would be magical and sparkly and everyone has their own specific imagination. So that was what was important to her and that was what she had created in her mind as I'm sure it has like beautiful. Um, feather wings and like pearlescent and colors and sparkles and all these like magical crystalline things having to do with it. Like a, i I can picture probably how it is. And so when we see something like this, when we see something that seems real, then so then she's seeing the janked up unicorn that's like, I don't even know a te, I guess we could call it the temu unicorn. So when she sees like the real unicorn in her imagination, which is real 'cause that's her imagination, she created that. That is real. 'cause she's in her mind creating that. And then when you see the temu unicorn, you're disappointed. Right. You're like, pissed. This isn't a unicorn. Like this is, this is what's real, right? You're pissed, you're upset. Your vision is destroyed. And this is such a good analogy for a lot of other things as well, but. The way I saw it and the way I see it and comparing, you know, to the Santa thing as well, is we are so unique in ourselves. We are so authentic in ourselves and what we create our vision, right, of things that we are creating in our life. 'cause our vision is the unicorn, right? We each have a different vision of what a unicorn would be like, and our mind is so powerful and creative. Envisioning that from our own self and from our own authenticity is way different than getting it from someone else. Getting a fake version, getting a temu version, right? That's never gonna meet our expectations. That's never gonna be the same. So with that and the auth authentic, tying everything back around with the authenticity and the realness and the things that people are craving. Like this is what. People want and need right now is that authenticity from within yourself. People don't need to, go on social media and see someone else's, like copied real from something else. People don't need to, have their like ass kiss when like someone's trying to like, suck up to them or like be nice to them. People don't need. You know, just to be told that, oh yeah, you're doing a great job. Oh, you're doing great, sweetie. When like, you're actually not, all these things. Are just small examples, but what we need is that realness. What we need is that creative self, like that authentic unicorn that is coming from our true essence that's coming from our true self. And you cannot fake. You cannot fake. Like you cannot show me a Teo unicorn and tell me that's real. Right. Like that is disappointing. Of course it's disappointing. Of course she's gonna be disappointed by that. But this is what's happening. But you cannot fake, you cannot fake authenticity. You can't, and authentic being your authentic self is actually at the highest vibration on the, what would you call it? It's higher than love in the vibrational frequencies, right? So the vibrational frequencies, shame, fear, things like that are at the bottom. We don't wanna be vibrating like that. We wanna be vibrating extremely high, which is authenticity. And I think it was in, even within the past couple years. That they were thinking scientifically like this is actually studied, like the actual frequency and the frequency of our brain and our vibration. And this is how we attract things in our life and how we live our life and where how we wanna be living. It was actually thought that love was the highest, but it's actually authenticity. And when you think about it. That would be the case because we're, we are each our own authentic self. And if you're saying love, you can't have love unless you have authenticity. Right? Because you can't have real love, you can't have unconditional love if you don't have authenticity, because if someone's faking it to you, if someone's being in a fake relationship, like being fake to you or sucking up to you or Manipulating who they are to get you to like them. That's not authentic. That's not a high vibration. And like that person that's either not lasting, it's not sustainable, or that person isn't actually loving you, they're not actually loving you, they're loving the mask and that could be a whole thing in itself that we can talk about in another. Episode. But really with this, when we go back to the authenticness, when we go back to the true self, that realness, that realness, you cannot fake that. You can't, like you cannot fake the unicorn. Right. And I feel like that's just the perfect example. So yeah, I mean, going back. I think that pretty much kind of wraps it all up is basically don't be the fucking tamu unicorn. I think that's gonna be my new, daily. Thought, I guess get it on a T-shirt. You can't, don't be the tamu unicorn. But you can't fake, you can't fake authenticity. And this is the direction too that we are moving into is getting real. Being real, being yourself, being authentic. This is what we need in the world. Alright you guys, so I hope you liked this,, and. Yeah, let's chat soon. Don't be the tamu unicorn and let's go.
