You're Sitting On More Than You Think- The Power Of Potential

What if the life you’re trying to build… already exists in pieces around you?

In this episode, we explore the power of potential; not just in what we can become, but in what’s already here. From transforming a physical space to rethinking how we see our own lives, we talk about how vision changes everything.

SPEAKER_02 0:08

Well I am a little sad.

SPEAKER_04 0:10

Oh no. I am a little sad too.

SPEAKER_02 0:13

Mommy goes home today.

SPEAKER_04 0:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 0:15

I think she's a little sad too.

SPEAKER_04 0:17

It's definitely a point of sadness for us whenever mommy comes to visit and then she goes because we just get used to her being around us and we start to rely on her. Not just as in for the children or ourselves, but we just get used to her emotional support. It's just peace. It's just a little bit more at peace when mom's around. You know that I saw this um meme that said, and I sent it to you, I love it. That a daughter can never truly rest until she's with her mom.

SPEAKER_02 0:56

A mother can never truly rest until her mom is there. I guess it depends on the mom too. Some people would have a different yeah. Yeah. Not everybody is a very good thing. But her mom is that mom. She's that girl.

SPEAKER_04 1:09

So we feel sad when it's time for her to go. For those of you who don't know, mommy doesn't live here, she lives in England. And we have lived in different countries for years. Over a decade. Well over a decade. Because she was there before I had Jackson. Jackson's gonna be 13. So yeah, maybe not well over a decade, but she's been going.

SPEAKER_02 1:28

Well over a decade. It's 15 years. It makes a reunion that much sweeter though. And I'll be counting down the days until she is here again. Or we're there. Or we're there. And I know for sure, my girls, I know your kids are gonna miss her so much also because she's such a part of their day-to-day, you know?

SPEAKER_04 1:49

Yeah. So yeah, it's a little gloomy. We're a little gloomy, but that's the whole point. Do we get to show up however we want, whenever we want. Welcome back to Seen and Heard.

SPEAKER_02 2:01

Seen and gloomy. Pull up a seat. Join the circle, darling.

SPEAKER_04 2:06

Join this. Join the circle. Yeah, maybe you're feeling a little gloomy. Maybe you're feeling upbeat. Maybe you're, you know, wherever you are. Just grab a seat and come sit with us.

SPEAKER_02 2:21

Come as you are, darling.

SPEAKER_04 2:22

We've had a morning. We've had a weekend. We've had a day as is.

SPEAKER_02 2:26

And you have had yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:30

Tell me about it.

SPEAKER_04 2:31

Yeah, no, first you tell me about your day. You had a show last night.

SPEAKER_03 2:36

You're booked and busy, by the way.

SPEAKER_04 2:38

It got good, won't he do it? Won't he do it though? I'm very grateful. You've been you've been, I mean, almost every time I talk to you, you're talking about getting an outfit together, getting a set list done, um, figuring out I love that, Fayo. Thank you. I know that you had a uh a show to do last night. I don't know if a lot of people realize this, but when you're an artist, you're not just doing like big show. Yeah, you're doing um well, not for me anyway.

SPEAKER_02 3:04

Some some artists don't uh would prefer not to do what we call corporate. But I don't mind it. No, I think it's great, and I think there's um I still get to do what I love, but I get to go home to my kids um at the end of the night, and most times. And yeah, it's still a way for me to kind of do what I do and earn a living and you know live out my passion, but still have the opportunity to be present as a mom and present for the other projects that I work on and the other things that I do. So yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:40

Because singing ain't isn't the only thing you do. No, it's not. I heard Sterling Kay Brown, you might know him from This Is Us. I love him, and he's one of my favorites right now. I feel like I'm a little hyperfixated on his podcasts when he's a guest.

SPEAKER_02 3:56

Love his name too.

SPEAKER_04 3:57

Love his name. He has a really awesome wife as well, and they have a podcast together and all kinds of stuff. I haven't gotten into that just yet. But he was saying that his idea of success for the longest time was just being able to, he recalled a time when his wife was like, Should we move back to New York? Because things aren't really working out in LA for you. And he goes, What do you mean things aren't working out? Like, I auditioned for five different things today that's working out to him. And he said, All I really ever wanted was to be able to just pay my bills doing what I love. And I thought that was so interesting because sometimes we go so far beyond, like, if we haven't built this life that we think we should have had, like, if you don't have X, Y, or Z or you didn't do it this way, that's not done.

SPEAKER_02 4:43

It's not done. It's not real. I just had this conversation with mom. Like, nothing in my life turned out exactly the way I thought it would, but everything that I wanted so far in my life has come true. True. Did it happen in the way I thought it was gonna happen? Absolutely not. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 5:01

Think back in our like twenties. I mean, we we have old journals and stuff, but I didn't even have to go through those to imagine what I was thinking. But I remember thinking I would own like five homes and we'd have a vacation home, and you know, we'd have this and that and blah blah blah, or I'd be running this business, or I would be traveling all the time, and that's just not the way my life looks, and nor is it necessarily what I would want it to look like.

SPEAKER_02 5:30

Well, it's like we always say your subjects to change. And so therefore, the things that we thought may have fulfilled us back then, um, maybe some of them do, and maybe some of them don't, and maybe some of them we don't actually need to feel fulfilled, you know. So it's a wonderful, um it's a wonderful moment where you know, we always talk about the reckoning with your life, what it it is versus what it um what you wanted it to be, what you wanted it to be, or what other people expected it to be. But it's a wonderful thing when you can look at where you are and say, huh. It's good. It's good. It may not be everything I thought. Some things may have worked out differently, um, some things may have been disappointing, some things may have been traumatic, some things may have been heartbreaking far more than I expected. And it's good. And some things might need tweaking still, things still need tweaking, and it is a work, it is a it is a moving, shifting target, work in progress. And as it it it says on that sign up there, I love it so much. It is well. It is well, amen. It is well. So even though mommy gone on a plane today, it is well, it will, it is well.

SPEAKER_04 6:41

Yeah, it has to be.

SPEAKER_02 6:42

Yeah, and this is not how we envisioned our lives with mama.

SPEAKER_04 6:47

My first reckoning with that was when I had my baby. And uh mommy wasn't in Jamaica, and I remember hoping that that period of time on my life and raising my children, I'd have mommy by my side. We didn't imagine it any different. Didn't imagine it. And we've had to reckon with that's how it is. And she had her own life, and that was very hard for us to also reckon with the fact that what do you mean?

SPEAKER_02 7:17

You you have to understand you can't drop everything and come.

SPEAKER_04 7:20

Like every child, every child on the planet would think, You're my mom. What other job could you possibly have that's more important than mothering me? And I was 30 when I had Jackson. Surely I should have known better. But um, it's just not the way it was, and it just hasn't been our experience. But it doesn't mean that I haven't had a great experience or had a had a good experience trying to parent and have my mother's support at the same time. You know, it's just different than I expected. Yeah, but it's not worse, it's not better, it's just different. Yeah, perfect. That brings me to this idea of this week, even like you know, we were talking a lot about renovating uh because I'm I did Jackson's room.

SPEAKER_02 8:10

I don't know. My god, I don't know if I accepted it. It's okay. Sometimes other people say a star for your first, but honestly, you have such good taste and you have a way of making it functional but still beautiful and still just it makes sense. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 8:28

You know, we didn't I didn't match him. Yes. We I don't know if you feel this way, but we didn't grow up in a beautiful home. Like we didn't grow up in a home that had all of the like we grew up in a home, yes, and it definitely had missing things, you had cupboards you didn't really want to go in. We definitely lived with a few critters here in the roof that used to run raised. I forgot it's all like raised hard. Um, so we definitely, you know, grew up with that. I fast forward to um, you know.

SPEAKER_02 9:16

But I have to say, it was also the home that everybody wanted to be in. Yes, and it was also the home that mom and dad allowed us to, you know, be free. Oh no, we loved our the chalk on the the the um the walls and this, and it wasn't like it was a m like you always say, your home is not a museum, it's a home. So it was really bicycles and roller skating and go in the garden and pick this and grass and dig up this and but I said it's to say that we don't grow up with this example of like this beautiful, perfect home.

SPEAKER_04 9:50

No. No. And so when I grew up, and you know, we we lived in this home, we bought this home a million years ago. We have taken our time to make this home our home and to make it beautiful. You know, it took uh if you watch our vlog, you know it took us years to get to this point. I didn't realize how important it was to me, by the way, to be in a space where I felt um you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_03 10:21

Proud of it.

SPEAKER_04 10:22

Not just proud, but I like um, I guess because nothing was ever in its place, or like I kind of like that type of I like that everything has its place and its space, don't look in here, it's a mess. Have that side of me too. But you know, I just it it's something about my personality that I didn't realize. I think it's why I like flowers so much. Like I like beautiful things, and that's cool. And I didn't realize that that was even like a thing. I thought that was very superficial, and you know what I mean? But we both like beautiful things.

SPEAKER_02 10:54

I still double double check before I buy flowers and go, is that we have what it is. And I think no, it's nice because uh, you know, all my life I've wanted to see flowers in my home. Yeah, you know, it represented something nice, beautiful, yeah, yeah, and it's life and all these things.

SPEAKER_04 11:13

So I say all of this to say that we've taken our time to create the home that we always wanted to have, and it came time for us to actually um fix the ceilings in both Jackson's room and Atlas's room. And so we were like, well, if we're gonna fix a ceiling, maybe now is a good time to refurbish it, to renovate it. Because tell you the truth, guys, we've done so much renovation over the past four years or so that it hurt my head. When we think about the dust, the work, the knives. It gave me a PTSD like a bit. I don't I know I'm saying it like it's light, but it it stresses me out.

SPEAKER_02 11:54

Disruption, big dust.

SPEAKER_04 11:55

My God, right? Picnic get cough, and it did happen. Sneezing allergies cause a fine dust everywhere. Anyway, whatever. But it got me thinking about this room here, and this room has seen a transformation many times. My house has seen a transformation many times, but here it was again that we were about to transform this room, and I thought about how important it was to recognize the potential in a space, and how as women and as men, but especially as women, we can hold a vision for a room, for a relationship, for a family, for an experience, for a whatever it is. A meal a meal. We we are like the wonderful weavers of experience. Whether it's how you are, like I said, experience in a space, a place, a meal. I don't know. There's something about us being able to see potential in everything, and that can be good and bad. And so that brought us to our conversation today potential and how wonderful it is to be able to carry a vision for something and then to sometimes see that through.

SPEAKER_02 13:15

Yeah. I remember in one of our earlier podcasts, we actually sat in this room and we were talking about how this room was always here. It just needed the vision to bring it forward. And it's the same in a lot of different um aspects of our life is that we have a vision or we have a uh even a small idea or inkling of how something could be better.

SPEAKER_01 13:41

Why are you laughing?

SPEAKER_02 13:42

And it's true, it's true. How something could be better, how something could be improved, how something could um even just to move a piece of furniture to a different part of the home. You know, we all made small little changes that have created um just a new feeling. And that's a different potential for it or a different vision for it. So it's wonderful that you can actually put that into the physical manifestation of that room, but also acknowledge it in the in everything that we do. You know, we see the potential in our children. They have an affinity for the arts or they have an affinity for football or swimming, and we see that and we think, hey, maybe we should put you in football, maybe we should put you in singing lessons, or maybe we should, you know. So it's it's how does that potential or the ability to see that potential affect our lives, affect how we move forward, affect how we show up for each other and for our kids.

SPEAKER_04 14:49

Women are magical. I'm telling you, like, we are magical, we are unreal. Because just you saying, even like seeing it in your children and understanding, trying to even lean into that a little bit. And then there are times when we're seeing potential in places where there it has a it has its own cap and limit. So as I mentioned earlier, even in like relationships, sometimes we know how to look on somebody and say, yeah, man.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

Oh yes.

SPEAKER_04 15:16

If it just but then we want to rearrange them look a bit, you know what I mean? Even in my marriage, I do that all the time. I'm like, you know, if you could just do this this way, then it would be so it would be a better room. And we try to rearrange, we get sometimes rearranged too. But I think we could have a podcast about speaking about when we're putting potential where it shouldn't be and see potential where it isn't. But I really wanted to talk about how wonderful it is to see that potential in yourself. And I think about that quote that Jesse Royal spoke about all the time. One day, randomly on his Instagram, where he said that the potential or the knowledge of fire always existed long before two flintstones ever met.

SPEAKER_01 16:17

I love that.

SPEAKER_04 16:18

Whoa, that blew my mind because it meant that just because this didn't happen yet didn't mean that that wasn't there.

SPEAKER_02 16:29

It's not possible. You know what I often think about, not to make this frivolous. Who discover for eat Aki? Miss Covers. And then they say you know the part, yeah. And you can't do it. We live. Somebody said them them watch the bird. The bird because I think birds eat, but there are certain things that birds eat but can't eat. But things like that, who discovered and who did have it, by the way. The herbs and whatever that were possible for us to ingest and not.

SPEAKER_04 17:04

And what a price to pay. What haven't we discovered yet? And it comes back to what I'm trying to talk about today is what is still what untapped potential is within you still that you don't even know. That's exciting. I love that. Lock a door. I just think it's phenomenal. And I just think it's something worth thinking about and being excited about, wondering about, and then starting to piece together the puzzle of your own potential. I mean, multi-potential, I know. So I'm gonna have potential I make a potential woman of potential. So it's something to think about.

SPEAKER_00 17:58

Well, I have come to just expect every and anything from you, Tammy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 18:03

You're not far behind me though.

SPEAKER_02 18:06

Baby, my potential is I know my limits.

SPEAKER_04 18:11

That's one thing about potential, yeah. For no way.

SPEAKER_02 18:14

You have to know what is the pattern versus the potential, and you have to know what is reckoning with that.

SPEAKER_04 18:23

Yes. I don't know. I just thought it was an exciting thought and something that I love that is I'm gonna think on that tonight. Something worth thinking on for sure.

SPEAKER_02 18:32

So I think uh something that goes hand in hand with potential is the idea of being ready to step into that potential. There are so many times in my life where I have seen the potential or seen the or felt the the urge to move on something and for whatever reason I wasn't ready to do it yet. And just like we've spoken about the pause and how important that is, it's important to also realize when yes, there is potential, but the timing of it isn't quite um aligned with it, you know, and it doesn't mean no, it's just uh not yet.

SPEAKER_04 19:14

Yeah, and it's not always time to share your vision about something for yourself or an idea you have just yet, either. Yeah, uh sometimes you have to kind of slowly build that. You know what I love the most about the room analogy is the mood board, which is like the vision board. It's a thousand pieces that come together to pull this potential, this vision uh together in a space where you can see it. Tess, if I ever showed a mood board for that room, or and you've seen your vision board. Yeah, this idea that we can pull all these different ideas together before it is even ready to so many moving parts have to come together before you can walk the path of your own potential. And so it's about looking when we're when we're saying looking at the parts of yourself that that have potential, it's just being curious. That's what we're really saying. But then being kind of aware enough to say, oh, this is a part of my vision board, this is a part of my mood board, this is a part of of all the things that can come together to maybe awaken this and bring it to life. I think about you even with voice box performing arts and how you had that potential for that from so long, you had that idea for that for so long.

SPEAKER_02 20:41

Oh, but I was I you know, that was just voice box performing arts continues to be something that like I know we said this a lot, but we've said this before. It's it's building the plane while we're in flight. You know, I am very much a singer. I have devoted all my life to being a singer. That is my profession, my passion, that is what I have mastered in me. Yes, you know, and I'm still mastering, I'm still learning more about that. So to step out into something that um required something different of me was in it it was incredibly um terrifying, absolutely terrifying, and I'm still terrifying, yeah, because you know you want to make sure that you're you're doing this right. I absolutely did.

SPEAKER_04 21:36

And we have to talk a little bit about how sometimes imposter syndrome comes in on you and all these things that that can do really from your own path and potential, yeah. Um, but you also pull together all of the right ingredients and all the right things to finally birth this beautiful thing that is and will continue to be.

SPEAKER_02 22:00

And it's such a beautiful space. And I'm so proud of what we have created. I'm so proud of the transformations that are happening within our community. And I'm so grateful to our teachers. I'm so grateful to the parents that trust us to do that. And I am so excited. It's one of those things like I it's it's it's a true heart project for me. You know, and it's something that I saw that potential. I saw where the there was a gap in that there's so every every Jamaican family. I feel like we have it in such abundance down here. The ability in the arts. You know, and it's just it's it doesn't always become apparent in something like singing or dancing. It's just oh, somebody expressed themselves and you don't even know that's a poet. You know, that is a that is an actress right there, an actor, you know. So I saw that potential, and I I like you said I kept it close to my chest for a very long time because it was something that I had to be.

SPEAKER_04 23:08

Yeah. I like to also draw on lessons too because you see a lot of kids with a lot of potential. Yes. And I want you to think about it. You know, sometimes we talk things through and things come up for us. And I want you to talk a little bit about, you know, seeing somebody in front of you who may not be the best singer, but who has a potential to grow into that. Like, talk a little bit about the fact that you don't just see great fabulous singers off the bat.

SPEAKER_02 23:40

You don't see you don't see no.

SPEAKER_04 23:42

And Hoit, I want you to hear this conversation and apply it to your own life right now and see the comparison.

SPEAKER_02 23:49

Yeah, it's just like you said, there's sometimes a a child or a young performer will come in and they'll sing or dance. And because we are trained, and because we have once been in in at that level and at that um stage, we can see past that and we know that okay, if we apply the right training, the right encouragement, the right environment here, then something has to happen, something has to transform, something has to change, and with discipline and with commitment, it does. Isn't that amazing? It's amazing, but even I mean, I think another good thing to to point out with potential is just the commitment to see that potential through. It doesn't just happen because you think it you actually have to action it.

SPEAKER_04 24:45

I love that. Yeah, I love that. So I just love to look at like these real life situations where we you see these things and how it pertains back to us, and everything you just said is true about us as well. Like sometimes, and then finding that person who knows better than you to almost sometimes look past where you are and say, you know what, I think your shortcomings will be and say that that's that's that's something that we can just tweak. And if you just did this, this, and that, you can get there.

SPEAKER_02 25:13

But I look at you as an editor, my God. You're never gonna school or nothing for that, Tammy. The school of YouTube. But I will tell you this from Tammy have something we can record, Tammy I edit. It's true.

SPEAKER_03 25:28

All right, God is true, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 25:30

Yeah, from a world liquor. My mother used to have this dictaphone. That's what you call it, and we used to teef it and sing in it and guess what she was doing. We never call it podcast back then, it was talk show. Okay? Oh, yeah, 1000%.

SPEAKER_04 25:48

Okay, I walked around and I interviewed everybody.

SPEAKER_02 25:52

And I remember when Gio was a baby, you would make the sweetest videos. And I don't remember how you you put them together, but you found a way. So that potential, that seed was already there, and it just needed to be watered.

unknown 26:06

Hi, bye. Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 26:09

That's good, that's good, that's good. And I know we've spoken about that in the past before, but it just came back up, and it's like, wow, this is what I mean by your life is always trying to show you all these things about you, and you're so right. That was years ago that I would be making iMovie videos.

SPEAKER_02 26:29

But when you got that, when you were on radio, I remember thinking, but Jesus, look at this. Yeah. Should they pay on radio like how we used to pretend for the pan radio?

SPEAKER_04 26:39

And in TV too. Yeah. It's real, it's real, it's real for sure. I guess that's our big takeaway today is to look at that untapped potential within you. If you have children, look at it in them. I mean, we've been showing our mom since we were children what we were gonna do, and clearly showing each other too.

SPEAKER_02 27:00

But she was paying attention enough to say, huh, I'm gonna water that seed. Let's see how that goes.

SPEAKER_04 27:07

I look at I look at people who own like um like flower stores, like flower galleries, or you know, what are they called? Flowers. And I just think it's how niche I just think it's amazing. I think about this with every business as well, but I think about flowers are so niche. And I'm like, wow, it's who leaned into this with this person, and it seems like such a uh I don't want to say frivolous, but something that is just like you would, it's very particular. It's very tender.

SPEAKER_02 27:40

Yeah, it's very tender and very sweet. But if they didn't do it, we wouldn't have it, you know. There's this girl I follow on Instagram or is it TikTok, but she grows her flowers, she lives on a boat, and she grows her flowers on a hair. She cut her own hair too. She cut her, and her hair is fabulous, and it's a simple, sweet, idealistic kind of vibe. And she goes out and she sells her beautiful tulips, and I think, my god, yeah, why that's winning to me.

SPEAKER_04 28:12

I literally am about to plant my flower, cut flower garden.

SPEAKER_02 28:17

By the way, this one is gonna have a cafe one day for here because she loves it, not more than she loves to now feed people cafe and food.

SPEAKER_04 28:25

By December, I might be saying selling fresh cut flowers out at my driveway. I don't doubt it. And maybe lemonade or maybe a coffee, maybe it's just right now.

SPEAKER_00 28:33

I don't doubt it. I don't doubt it.

SPEAKER_04 28:35

That is a little on tap potential in me for sure. They're gonna water the seed.

SPEAKER_00 28:41

Water the seed.

SPEAKER_04 28:42

Can you help me this weekend to plant my garden? Thank you. Booked and busy. Tissy, can I just say one more thing? Yeah. What do you think it is about? And you guys let us know in the comments. Isn't there something just so appealing? And as we think about our pursuit for more, isn't there something so appealing about people who just abandon it all? Like, do you ever just have the desire to just be done with like social media phones? All the time. Like, there's a part of me that just wants to just say live in a mountain. Bye guys. Good luck. Actually, I would probably still do the podcast. But I'm just saying there's a part of me sometimes that I'm like, Wayne, should we move into a tiny home? Like, Wayne, should we go live up in the hills? Not with all them cubes. No, but I'm just saying there's a part of me that just wants like the compound.

SPEAKER_02 29:36

Yes. That's what I want when we get older. Lord, I want it now. I want it in a little um on a nice piece of land in the cool. It's just like it's just amazing to do. Oh god. But at this a little distance, look at a little privacy.

SPEAKER_04 29:52

We need a little exercise.

SPEAKER_02 29:55

Oh, you say we come over and a golf cat.

unknown 30:00

Mental!

SPEAKER_04 30:01

What is that though? What is that? I think it's just this one, just this realization that we don't need all that we think we do sometimes. And you have to just say, what is this rat race?

SPEAKER_02 30:14

Maybe that is actually the higher self coming forward and just reminding us that all of this is just this.

SPEAKER_04 30:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:26

So scrap the potential. I would say. And I just have one more thing to add, not to add a little negatively to it, but your potential will scare others too. And it may cause them to act in ways or lash out in ways that you may not be able to understand. And it can scare your parents, it can scare your siblings, it can sp scare your spouse or people who don't even know you. Oh, you mean the peoples on the internet? The internet's peoples.

SPEAKER_04 31:01

That is interesting. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:03

And that is that is not like I said, not to put a negative spin on it, but it is where you are visible or seen, where you're showing that potential will also make people uncomfortable. Yes. Sometimes.

SPEAKER_04 31:18

There is a whole negative side to potential and the conversation. We know that wasn't necessarily the full purpose of this conversation today. No. No, but I like that you said that. It wasn't to negate that. That still exists. There's a whole side of potential that is up, you know?

SPEAKER_02 31:36

And people always going to find something, anyways. Anyways, exactly. Live your potential, baby. Go out there, get curious about you. You know, dig in there. Yeah. See what seeds you're gonna be watering this year and see what's gonna grow.

SPEAKER_04 31:50

I'm gonna get curious again and see what's what's in the pipelines and what I think my garden is the next thing. I know that's not so silly. But I just not silly, Tam. Yeah. Meaning it's not silly. No, all you potential have a turn around and make you money eater, is what I'm trying to say. Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 32:08

You know? I think we have in in this day and age, everything has become so centered around the getting and the accumulating and the acquiring, is that what it's called? Of just more and more and more. And sometimes can we just sit in what we already have and just give thanks and just be okay for a little bit?

SPEAKER_04 32:36

No, it's nice that we have to.

SPEAKER_02 32:37

I mean, we never have no whole Lipper toy on them sometimes. No, we never have no toys, not today. We had fantastic imaginations. That's what we had. I remember so we have Sabbath. So that means that we couldn't do nothing, we couldn't watch on TV Friday, barely listening to Saturday evening.

SPEAKER_04 32:57

She never had no high heels though. Well, we were little, we couldn't fit in them. No, but mommy wasn't a high heels girl. Me did love high heels.

SPEAKER_02 33:04

But a simple life is was a simple life is a happy life, it's a good life. You know, and we complicate it by thinking we need all these things.

SPEAKER_04 33:13

So when we say potential, we're not talking necessarily just about creating more work for yourself. But as we always like to encourage creating more joy, more peace, more fun, uh, that will ultimately make your life feel more fulfilling.

SPEAKER_02 33:29

I have a challenge for you. I want you to write down three areas that you have potential in that you've been neglecting. And I want you to take one small action this week toward it.

SPEAKER_04 33:42

I like that. So three areas where you have some potential and one small action towards it.

SPEAKER_03 33:50

I'm gonna do it.

SPEAKER_04 33:51

I'm gonna write it down. Yes, my small, my definite thing I'm doing is my garden. I know you might think it's fool, like we said, but may I do that?

SPEAKER_02 33:59

I didn't say it was fool.

SPEAKER_04 34:00

You know, my mind, my hearing.

SPEAKER_02 34:03

Yeah, I ain't said that not once. Somebody I know said it.

SPEAKER_00 34:06

I'm not heard it. That is a good inner critic, Dan.

SPEAKER_04 34:10

Yes, it's true, it's true.

SPEAKER_00 34:11

Matt, we have the potential to silence her.

SPEAKER_04 34:14

Might we do an episode on the inner critic?

SPEAKER_00 34:16

Ooh, Judy, go come out, Judy, darling.

SPEAKER_04 34:20

No, Judy is a judge. Anyway, guys, this was another great episode, kind of. This had the potential to be a great episode. We're glowing. No, but I feel good about this conversation we just had. Um, and I think again, like, you know, guys, we're not out here trying to be therapists, advice givers. We're processing life as we go along, and we're glad for whoever is here sat in the circle with us doing the same. I don't know what conversations this is bringing up for you. Want to hear about it though. We want to hear about it. And we're we'll be in the comments. No.

SPEAKER_02 34:57

Tammy, and we've won. I was trying not to yawn at that.

SPEAKER_04 35:00

Thank you so much for watching. As always, we will be back next week, God willing. As as I'm always saying, God spare my life. Amen. We will be back here next week. Hope you guys have a great week ahead of you. Hope you do give some thought to that potential. And I hope we hear about it in the comments section.

SPEAKER_01 35:17

SPEAKER_02 35:22

SPEAKER_00 35:29

We are scattered.
