00:00 The days I don't feel, as my mama would say, cute.
00:04 (laughing)
00:05 The days I don't feel cute,
00:08 I have to actually tell myself I do anyway.
00:12 Which is still hard to believe.
00:14 You know what I mean?
00:15 'Cause you know, you'll wake up and I'm like,
00:17 this eye is swollen and--
00:19 - I swear my eyes aren't symmetrical.
00:20 - This side of my mouth is doing something
00:22 and I'm like, well maybe my nose looks different today.
00:24 This space in between my nose,
00:26 like I'm literally telling you what I think in my head.
00:28 I'm like, the space between my nose and my top lip
00:32 is just really off today.
00:33 Maybe I should get that, no girl, what are you thinking?
00:36 - Yeah.
00:37 - You know, I literally do that all the time.
00:39 And the truth is, is that I'm sitting there
00:41 and I'm going, if I pick myself apart,
00:44 where am I gonna end up?
00:45 - If I pick myself apart, where am I going to end up?
00:49 - At the bottom.
00:51 So here I am, picking myself apart,
00:53 and I'm not gonna have anything left.
00:55 If I don't have anything left,
00:57 what do I have to offer myself, my kids, my husband,
01:02 my business, like I don't have anything to offer.
01:05 You know what I mean?
01:06 Like I wanna be the best version of myself
01:08 for my kids first, and my husband, and my home.
01:11 And that means the most to me.
01:13 So I gotta, if I'm starting there,
01:16 I gotta start, I gotta go here, not here.
01:19 'Cause ain't no space to go.
01:20 - Ain't nowhere to go.
01:21 Here's what I love about that answer.
01:22 Number one, you say the same things to yourself
01:25 on the days you don't feel beautiful
01:27 as the days that you do.
01:29 Like don't stop that inner narrative.
01:31 - Absolutely.
01:32 - And the motivation for that 24 hours
01:33 or whatever you have to make it through
01:35 is the people who need the you when you feel your best.
01:38 - Yes.
01:38 - I absolutely love that message.
01:40 - And you know what else?
01:42 - Please share.
01:42 - Right on your mirror,
01:44 even the things that you don't believe just yet,
01:47 write them down.
01:48 Like I do that for Titan,
01:50 but I said that I'd start doing it for myself,
01:52 and I did, but somebody wiped it off,
01:55 and they were trying to, you know,
01:57 - Keep houses clean and whatnot,
01:58 messed up all your affirmations.
02:00 - I need this because Tuesday was not a good day for me.
02:03 - Right.
02:04 - So I need to make sure that I have to see it.
02:05 So with those days that I don't believe it,
02:07 I can just write it down.
02:08 I am great.
02:09 Oh girl, you look good today.
02:10 Like I literally say it as if I'm like
02:12 the girlfriend in my head.
02:13 - Yeah.
02:14 - So I'm just the hype,
02:15 I'm the hype woman for myself.
02:17 Who else is gonna hype you up besides yourself?
02:19 - I mean, be your own hype person.
02:20 - Absolutely.
