Full Episode
If you feel like you're in the dark because of those things, all I want you to imagine is that if you turned on the light in this dark room that you're in, the reality of the situation is that there will be people standing shoulder to shoulder with you because you're not alone in this discomfort. You're not alone in your uncertainty.
You're not alone in this turmoil that you're going through, in this emotional space that you're in. And while our emotions and our stories may be different and uniquely ours, You are not alone in the fact that you still have to confront those things and deal with those things.
Come on this journey with me. Each week when you join me, we are going to chase down our goals, overcome adversity, and set you up for a better tomorrow. That's a new secret. Hi, and welcome back. I so appreciate you being here with me today. Oh my gosh, so much to tell you. So first I have to tell you about my episode today and my guest and what happened off air.
because it was, this is actually the second time I've cried in the last year since I've had a podcast. I'm not a big crier. Early on in my corporate America career, and I was in sales leadership, I would see people make mistakes, right? I would see them cry and get frustrated and wear their emotions on their sleeve. I started to observe those people would only reach a certain level.
They wouldn't go beyond that level because their emotions had the better of them. They didn't have control of their emotions. So I used to say to myself, I played baseball as a kid, softball as I got older, and I've always loved baseball. And I just used to always say there is no crying in baseball.
So no matter how upset I would get in corporate America, which was very freaking upset, you have no idea the jackballs I worked with, I would get really, really upset.
And stress was piling on and I would go into the ladies room and breathe or I'd walk outside or I'd go for a ride in my car, anything to get myself out of the situation, control and calm myself and then re-engage when I was in control of my emotions. So saying that I cried twice, the first time was when I recorded Flip Flippin, who I absolutely freaking love.
And if you haven't heard that episode, go back and listen to it. It's all about your third story, the story that you're telling yourself and how you can change it because it's a lie. I love that freaking story. I love that episode. I love that man. He's awesome. So anyhow, that was the first time I cried. Okay, so fast forward to now. I found out about Allie Love a little over a year ago.
I was at my friend Christina's house in Atlanta. She had a Peloton. We didn't have anyone to watch the kids, so we couldn't go exercise out of the house. And she said, oh, just go upstairs and do a Peloton ride, which I did. And she said, take an Allie Love class. Allie has this real warmth and positive energy and inclusive message. She's a black woman. She's young. She's gorgeous.
