dear dope chick,
welcome + welcome back!
thank you for being here today, thank you for showing up!
i really appreciate it!
are you ready to take action today? are you up for the challenge?
what you’ll need:
for those who are new here or haven’t been here in quite a while —
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.
that means you are taking one small step today that aligns with the lifestyle that you most desire.
am I obligated to take action?
absolutely not.
that’s the beauty of living life on your own terms. you have the opportunity to make choices that best align with what you’ve got going on right now.
however, i’m gonna encourage you to do something today that gets you going, that gets you moving in the forward direction, that puts you in the position of being the person you say you are or wanna be!
so when you’re ready to take that step, do it.
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.
have you heard our previous episodes?
not yet ready do the activities presented in this episode?
we have others that may interest you so if you aren’t familiar or haven’t heard our previous episodes, take a listen so that you can make an informed choice today.
you can listen to them here.
you are fully loaded.
within you resides a set of skills, an extensive knowledge base, a broad imagination, some dope ass gifts, + a rolodex of innate wisdom that you can utilize + tap into today.
some of these skills you haven’t used before today, you haven’t used in quite a while, or you use them every single day.
the same goes for your knowledge, your imagination, your gifts, + your wisdom: maybe you’re using them every day, maybe not.
so, what …
what if i told you you could use all of the above + whatever else you have right this very moment to solve a lot of your problems?
what if i told you have everything you need right now to face your daily + personal challenges?
what if i told you your best is good enough to get the ball rolling? that using what you have in your possession right now is a move worth making?
to do this week:
you’ve got it? use it, then!
today’s action is to use what you have to get what you want.
you have the skills, the knowledge, the imagination, the gifts, + the wisdom to make the best move for you in this moment.
you don’t have every skills, all the wisdom, or all of the knowledge, but you have enough of every single category to get the ball rolling.
you have enough to start + starting is the most important part.
sustaining vs. starting
it’s not about sustaining right now.
you can find the skills to sustain.
you can acquire the knowledge to sustain.
you can build the imagination to sustain.
you can refine your gifts to sustain. you can tap into your wisdom + build on what you already know to sustain.
but to start, all you have to do is use what you have.
don’t worry about the outcome, focus on the process.
the outcome can change depending on what type of process you put into play, so focus on creating an enjoyable process.
let’s focus on doing what needs to be done today + what you can contribute to resolve your issues.
your circumstances are hinging on whether or not you are an active participant in your life.
are you gonna show up for yourself today?
are you going to do the work that is required of you to make your life yours?
living life on your own terms requires you to do one thing first: to live.
you have to start.
how do you want to live your life?
over the course of the week, reflect + refine your approach to various situations.
reflect on the choices you’ve made in the moment + refine your approach.
that is called self reflection + is what we do to take ourselves to the next level.
this is how you make your best better — by first making an effort (by doing what needs to be done) + then by refining the method.
ask yourself questions:
- okay so that didn’t work. what can i do now to get me closer to the outcome i desire?
- what skills can i use now that will help me get to where i need to go?
- maybe it’s not skills, but rather connections — who do i know that can help me right now? who do i need to go to to ask for help?
additionally, keep reciting those affirmations!
for 21 days straight we are reciting previously written affirmations.
continue reciting your affirmations this week.

my final thoughts:
the opportunity that you are waiting for is happening right now.
it didn’t pass yesterday or moments ago + it’s not in the near or distant future.
it’s right now that you have your opportunity to turn your life around; to do something different + to start living life on your own terms.
now, will your efforts yield the perfect outcome?
that’s not for me to say nor is it the point.
the point is that did something that will get your closer to the life you most desire.
the point is the process doesn’t come without putting in some type of work + that the work you put in is better than no work at all.
the point is that passion + purpose can take you a long way only when you decide to put them into use.
make way for your gifts. make way for your imagination.
you are creative enough to figure out what you can do today to help you get the results you’re looking for.
get into your life.
i say this often + i mean it: get into your life + start living today.
you owe yourself to do everything you can possibly do to make this life the best life you’ll ever live.
