If you're in a relationship where you're calling it or you're saying, they're not supporting me. This is some bullshit. This is, you got a problem because you got to figure out if you're going to be able to tolerate that. And that was the question, is it best to just stay in something because there's so much other things that are out here, you know, that it could be worse. That's the scary part. It could be worse. But when you operate in self-love, you're only going to want to be around people that love you and operate the way you treat yourself. We talked about this already. So I just wanted to touch bases just because it's a friend of mine. And I think they are mad cool. I think they're mad cool. We all got goals. We all got things we got to do. And if we didn't do it a long time ago, we're trying to do it now. You need all the support you need, baby. You need support coming from this end, that end, and you need the love. Okay? You don't need nobody tearing you down, bringing you down. Trust me. You don't need that. So yeah, just operate, operate. You start doing yourself an operation. Put yourself in an operating room and just start self-loving on yourself. And like I said, I want to touch bases on that. I did talk about it before. But like I said, it's a mad cool friend of mine. So this episode is special for them. We're going to have coming up the rumor meal. I'm talking about some of the Hollywood hot topics, honey. Well, some of the Hollywood hot stuff. You all know what I'm saying. On the rumor meal. And I hope. Huh. We just going to be talking about rumors. I don't care. I don't care how you. I don't think I heard the rumor meal before. I heard it somewhere. But we got some rumors. We just going to say this, say that, whatever. Allegedly, you all know how it works. It's coming up. It's coming up. You'll hear it from me. You'll hear it from co-hosts that will be popping in. We're going to be talking about a little bit of gossip. So it's going to be getting a little steamy. So you might have to. I know it's about to get cold. It was cold today. But it's about to get cold. So you might just have to take off, you know, take off your jacket. And just because it's going to get hot. But, yeah, I love you guys. I love talking to you guys. I think you guys are just amazing. We're going to have it where you guys are able to call in, leave a voice message. We're going to be going on where you can go back and look at the videos on YouTube. Things are coming. I promise you they're coming slowly but surely. We're just working on all the kinks. But I do want to touch back on just put yourself in an operation. Operation love yourself. I just love that. I just love it. Because you won't allow anybody to mistreat you when you're doing operation self-love. But, oh, I want to touch base. We didn't get to talk about Jada's book, Worthy. I gave the book two thumbs up. She was authentic. She brought some realness. A lot of y'all can't tell your truth. A lot of y'all, okay, well, it's nobody's business, your truth. But when you can start speaking your truth, you can start healing. You can start healing a lot faster than a person that cannot speak their truth. I give Jada that book two thumbs up. And you know what? I'm not going to get too deep with it. Because, honestly, I don't know the real deal with her and Will's relationship. Now, it's some other things that came out this week about Will allegedly. I'll come back. I'll talk about that next Tuesday. Okay, so everybody not doing the right thing. Everybody not doing what's right. So, yeah, it's a lot of talk. But I'm talking about the book. The book was good. She touched on a lot. You know, get the book. Hell, if you don't want to read the book, get the audio. Listen to it. I think it's healing for her. It don't matter about all this other stuff that y'all are saying. She's telling her truth. And who I loved or, you know, yeah, it's my business. But I feel like I want to speak my truth. And if it's healing for me, then hell, that's what I'm going to do. So, like I said, I give the book a good rating. I'm worthy by Jada Pickett-Smith. The sister, you know, mental health, y'all, is for real. It's for real. Stop sugarcoating it and stop acting like when people do certain things that it's just a human being that's doing it. Sometimes it's mental health in the way. Hello? Hello? The reason why people are doing certain things or saying certain things is because they're dealing with mental health. Come on. They got some things that they're dealing with and stop acting like some of y'all acting like y'all too good. You know what I'm trying to say. Too good shoes. You know what I'm trying to say. That are just too good. I'm going to have to edit that. Y'all, I was getting kind of into it, but stop acting like y'all are too good. You know, and someone's mental health, that is the number one reason and the cause of some of their actions. So, okay, that person needs to get some help. Okay. But who's casting a stone? Okay, that person may need to get some help. Jesus. Give it a break. And the way, you know, everybody says, oh, she needs to, she's tearing them down, she's tearing them down. Okay, well, we don't really know. The stuff that I just saw this week, I'm like, honey, it's some reasons why some things get done, how the way they get done. Because we really don't know the real deal of what's going on behind closed doors, baby. Just say that. We don't really know what be going on behind closed doors. But we are going to be talking about some rumors, allegedly some things. We're going to have a little, you know, because everybody's talking about, why are we not going to talk about it? We're going to touch bases on it, too. But, I mean, our show is, you know, we are on here talking about relationships, black women's butts and images and relationships with our black men. That is our main goal. But why are we going to miss some juicy, juicy tea? Why are we going to miss that? We're going to get into some of that, too. I mean, especially has to do with relationships. And so I wanted to make sure that I touched on how I felt about Jada's book. Y'all, y'all, we don't really know. So stop. Stop. And I hate it. I hate it because people be trying to stop people from speaking their truth. I was listening to Stephen A. Smith. He was real serious about that thing. Have you been married or you been divorced? Have you been through that? Okay. Everybody has a story. Let people tell their story. And if they choose to tell it in the public, they choose to tell it in private. It's what the hell they want to do. Now, like I said, the news that I saw this week, allegedly about Will. Honey. Honey. Okay. Okay. So stop acting like we too good. Some people be healing. Some people be in their healing moment where they are. Hell, they write a book. Hell, they talk about what they want to talk about. And yes, she did talk about. She talked about Tupac. She talked about him, but she also told the truth in her book. You know, it was her truth. Hell, I don't know if it's a lie. It's her truth. So I just didn't get caught up with all the people can't speak what they want to speak. People can't say what they want to say. Speak your truth. If you've been, especially you've been with somebody so many amount of years, nobody has the right to tell you talk for you to talk about your story. You talk about your story to whoever the hell you want to talk about it to. And that's keeping in 100. The main thing is, is that we as people, not just African Americans, we need to heal. And that is going to have to be any means necessary, whatever you have to do to heal. Some people are still dealing with the damages effect of their relationships. Oh, this person shouldn't be. No. Okay. No. Mind your business. Mind your business. I'm going to say, you know, to each his own. I love the book. Don't know much about, you know, what the relationship because I can't speak. It's hard for me to speak on somebody else's relationship. Well, we don't really know the actual truth. All I know is, is some tea that's coming out that I saw this week, which it's always been said. But I just kind of like flip past it. You know, you know, that's, that's a married man, you know. But allegedly, things ain't all perfect, honey. Things ain't all perfect. So y'all, the ones that, you know, like I said, write a book if you're trying to heal so you can speak your truth and nobody can tell you how to speak your truth. You speak it how you want to speak about it. And the fact that she has older kids, I mean, it is what it is. They're older, you know. People got to live their lives and living your life is part of your history, your truth, whatever the case may be. And it's not like you have, you know, in her case, she don't have younger kids. She has kids that are intelligent enough to understand when a person goes through something in life. It's their healing, whatever the case may be. They've healed their happy space. Her kids are old enough. They're adults now. They're old enough to understand and know. You know, people say they're old enough to understand and know. Like these are her truths, you know. And it is what it is. And like I said, we didn't know during the night of the Chris Rock slap that they were separated. They've been separated for seven years. I never knew that. But, you know, we're not in Hollywood. We don't know everything. A lot of people probably knew that are in their circles. Hell, but people, oh, she can't talk about, she can talk about whatever the hell she want to talk about. That's my take on it. The Bookworthy, check it out. I thought it was great. I thought not only a lesson for me. Speak your mind. Don't let people try to silence you. It's a part of healing. It's a part of being the best you can be in life, in your life that you have remaining on this earth. Hell, maybe nobody wants to hear your truth. So what? As long as you speak it, you get it out, you know who you are as a person. It's your story. Do whatever. Y'all know how I do. Do whatever the hell you want to do. Live your life. Don't let people, your mental health, your peace, make that the top of your priority. Put yourself in an operation. Operation self-love. Love yourself. So everybody else around you will understand your boundaries. You're only looking for everybody that's around you for that same treatment on how you treat yourself. It's so important. So Tuesday and Friday, Food for Thought Friday, we're going to touch back on just staying in the bullshit. The damages that it can do. It can do damages. You can be further damaging yourself. And the longer, we all know, the longer we stay in it, the harder it is to get out of and the more mental damage you are doing to yourself. So if you know that you are damaging yourself mentally because of a relationship, is it really worth that? That will be Food for Thought Friday. How much damage are you willing to put up with? How much? You're trying to wait. Most people, oh, it'll get better. We just talk it through. We just talk it through. What is your plan? You've got to have a better plan than that. We're going to work things out. We're going to work things out. I hear that a lot. But how do you work it out? It's easy to say we're going to work it out. But do you put your plan into action to working out the, I'm not going to say, if you're saying it's the bullshit, then you're to that point to where, huh, it's up there. It's up there. But is it something that is small to where you maybe be able to just tweak, tweak something, and it's like you're back smooth sailing for the next five or six, ten years, a long term, or however, because, honey, I'm just saying. I'm just saying. We all have a goal, a goal in mind, and that's to love the person that we love and be with the person that we want to be with. We all have a goal in mind. Long term. And then it's beautiful when you see, y'all know it's true, it's beautiful when you can see couples that, oh, we've been together 50 years. And they'll tell you it hasn't always been easy. But what is, what can you tolerate and what can you put up with? What's the worst of the worst? I'm going to put my mental health first. I'm going to put my peace first. I'm going to self love. And then you, you gotta have, you're going to have that, that operation. That operation around you. All right, y'all. So, I just love talking to y'all.
