See It - Feel It - Write It

Back when I started my hairstyling career, I had to start all over. I had been working a corporate job, but my boss could see my passion for hair with the different styles I would come in with every day.  I wrote out a plan, a timeline, a list of what the school needed to look like, all of it - and I made it happen.

Every time I write out something with clarity and intention, it comes to me - even if it's not quite what I actually want.

That's my challenge for you. What do you want? Write it out in as much detail as you can!

Welcome back guys to the most randomest podcast ever. I'm so happy to be here with you guys this week. I wanted to share with you. a technique that I have been doing and I have done over the span of my life and especially once I discovered it, it really has been helping me get some clarity on my thoughts because anybody who knows me, I am random as hell. I'm so random. I'm a random in real life, but. I always have so many thoughts in my head that I need to share with people or things that I want to teach and it's always super crazy. But back when I started my hair styling career, I had to start all over. Like, I went to a high school, I started doing hair there, I tried doing an apprenticeship, that didn't work. And then it was like, how do I get to this license? So I was working in a job where it was super conservative, I'm surrounded by men, and it's, it's conservative. And I would come in with different hairstyles, right? And my boss at the time used to be like, you can't have that. And It's like, hey, you got to change it. I will come in the next day with something new, something different. And he asked me, when are you going to go back to doing hair? And not to necessarily get me off the job, because I was really good at what I was doing, but he clearly was seeing that, hey girl, your passion is back. What are you going to do to really fuel that passion is what I got from it I didn't say anything to him, but I went home that day and I had decided I'm gonna make a plan That day I wrote down A plan, very strategic of how I was going to, I gave myself a time frame to find a school. I wrote down what that school would possess, what would it feel like, what did I want from that school. timeline of finding it, entering. Finishing and what were some future goals with that? Like, what would I want to get out of this next chapter? Fast forward to now, when I think about the times that I have done that in my life and I've taken that time to write it out of what that looks like. What did I want it to feel like when I needed to transition into something new? Because I do feel like this is a transition year for me. And it's like what, what is that going to be like? Y'all when I tell you everything that I had wrote down came to fruition. It's like I put the pen down and the universe listened. I found a school. It gave me exactly what I needed. I even finished it in the time frame. But I realized it was the energy behind it. I really, really wanted it. at some point last year, I wrote down what I, because anybody who knows me too, I am also single. and I don't consider myself looking, but I consider myself open to the possibilities because I'm never really in a full search, but I'm open and I wrote down exactly what I want. I want that person to be like, y'all, let something when you write it down, you're specific because I was so specific that I started to meet people who possessed all of these qualities. I left one thing. Out of my damn list and that was single so I had to go back and I added that to the list of what would that feel like when I'm with that person all of that but I needed to make sure that I had a single because they were taken but they possessed the qualities that I was looking for and I was like hmm you So in this last little chapter that I've been in, and not the last chapter, but the next chapter, I was just like, what am I doing? What's next? I have been knocking down goals left and right and accomplishing so many things and coming outside of my box and comfort zone. Just for me to be here with you guys is coming outside of my box. It's like, dang girl, what's next? And so, things that have worked for me. And I tell people this all the time is, write it down, write how you'll feel with it. Take your time. Some things you can put into time frame, some things you just need to let the universe, God, your higher power, whoever guides you, even if it is just you to really, really hear you and what you want. I encourage you to. Take the time and really think about what it is that you may want. Write it down. Be it a man, your wife, a husband. Girlfriend, boyfriend, job. What would that next job look like, feel like? I just gave that suggestion to a friend who was possibly wanting to, do something different. Now, mind you, before she was just like, Hey, I'm okay with my job. I'm comfortable here. I ain't thinking about moving. thought that she may want something different now was like, go girl. I'm excited for her. And I gave her the suggestion of what would that next job feel like? Because in reality, she doesn't know what she wants to do, but she knows she wants to do something different. And so try it. You'll be amazed at what your mind focuses on and where it takes you. Because there's nothing like seeing what you write down for yourself come true. Ain't nothing like that. I, and when I now think about what I wrote down and when I go back and look at it from 20 plus years ago in this industry. I am literally living the dream, but now I got to edit the list. What else am I add to it? And it's forever evolving. It is forever changing. So this week I encourage you to see it, feel it and write it. Whatever you want, go for it. Whoever you want, go for it. The job you want. Go for it. You guys got this. I believe in you. It is something that has worked for me throughout my life. And I just wanted to share that with you guys this week. Cause y'all know I'm random. But next week, I'm definitely taking y'all back into the salon because we got some things to talk about. What is going on between these barbershops and salons y'all? I just don't know. But I got some suggestions and pointers of how to find. A salon that's best for you. So it won't be so random. I won't be on my, my therapy stuff. We taking it back to the tea because y'all need the tea, the tacos or the tequila because the therapy sessions, they'll return. But next week we taking it to the salon as always, I know you guys got options, but you chose to spend your time with me and I am grateful until next time. Talk to you soon.
