dear dope chick,
welcome + welcome back!
another day, another challenge.
are you ready to take action today?
what you’ll need:
for those who are new here, who haven’t been here in quite a while, or have been down since day one —
dear dope chick™ is an action based podcast so that means that every episode you are challenged, encouraged, + inspired to take one step that aligns with living life on your own terms.
one action, one step in the direction of your dreams.
every single episode we explore an action that you can take today, big small doesn’t matter, anything that you today to change the course of your life
spice up your life!
choice is the spice of life.
remind yourself that you have the right to choose in any situation + watch how you move make a difference.
as always, I encourage you to take some type of action today!
+ as always, it’s your right to refuse.
it’s your life + choosing to show up is the first step to living life on your own terms.
choosing how you want to move + what action you wanna take is the first step in doing you.
own that, flex that, + honor your choices today.
take accountability.
you owe it to yourself to steer your life in the direction that you’ve always wanted to go + you can do that today.
let’s get to work!
so, grab a notebook or journal that is dedicated to this podcast so that you can participate in the activities and exercises discussed; to see how much you have grown over the course of your life.

you can listen to them here.
do you know what today is?
today is a perfect day to go ahead + put your plan into action.
you’ve prepared for long enough.
it’s impossible to cross every t + dot every i.
today we’re getting unpredictable!
life, as smooth sailing as it is, can be unpredictable in nature.
there is a rhythm to life: a time to plan + a time to act.
doesn’t make what comes from this unpredictability is good or bad.
hell, what comes from unpredictability can be the best thing you’ve ever experienced in your life, but you won’t know until you flow.
seriously: how will you know what life has to offer if you don’t act?
because planning + preparation without action is a wish.
to do this week:
your plans are only a wish without this:
today’s action is to turn your wishes into action.
you wish your life looked different than it does right now?
then, do something about it.
the harsh reality is two fold: you hold the power to change the course your life + only you hold the power to change the course your life.
what that means is life can change because of conscious, intentional efforts you make on your part.
it also means that life as you perceive it requires your action to truly experience different.
you want different for yourself? then you have to make the effort by doing something different.
from here on out, it’s on you.
over the course of the week, avoid playing the blame game + take responsibility for your actions.
you can read all the self help books, take all the courses + seminars, + rub elbows with all the right people + none of that shit matters unless you take some action.
you can’t blame your lack of action on books, courses, + people: you have to take some action!
it doesn’t matter what they do, say or think because, well — you aren’t doing anything. 🙄
you read the words, hear what they say, clap them up —
you wanna get all of the insight + intel, but don’t want to take any of the action.
- what is the purpose of hoarding information?
- why are you not moving forward with action?
- why are you deciding to sit on all of the information you’ve accumulated? on all of the skills that you’ve acquired? on all of the talent that you have?
- what do you gain by not sharing what you know with the world?
matter of fact, you’re putting everyone at a disadvantage by not sharing what you know; from not taking action.
everyone benefits from your action because when you’re moving consciously + intentionally you’re calculated in your moves knowing that whatever you do has the power + the potential to not only effect everyone, but to help build this world, this life, into something great.
activate what you’ve learned:
- what did that book teach you? what is the lesson + how are you applying it to your every day life?
- when you went through that course + attended that seminar, what were the notes you jotted down? Review them + apply them.
- now that you’ve met so + so, what piece of advice did they leave with you + how, if at all, can you apply it to your current situation?
that’s what taking action today looks like.

my final thoughts:
what’s a plan without believing that you can execute it?
it’s an empty promise to yourself is what it is.
saying that you will do something, saying that something will be done but you don’t even believe that you can do it or that it can be done… wild thoughts. 🥴
don’t find yourself so busy planning out all of these goals you want to accomplish in life + then … nothing.
all that planning you’re doing for yourself won’t have a chance to become lived experiences until you take the time to believe in yourself + in your capabilities.
lack of belief turns plans into wishes.
because you if you believed you could do the shit you would take the action, right?
but it doesn’t stop there.
due to lack of action, these wishes turn into regrets.
stop wasting your time in the planning phase + start believing.
believe that you can.
believe that you will.
believe that you are!
your belief is the first step to getting the ball rolling; to building momentum that gives you the confidence to execute your plans.
it’s not enough to plan your life to the minute, you have to act.
so act in good faith that what you’re doing, what you’ve dreamed up + planned, is coming into fruition.
don’t act against yourself.
build yourself up!
do this because you believe that you can.
you made all of these plans + these plans are not in you by happenstance.
it’s time to activate that mustard seed faith!
