dear dope chick,
welcome + welcome back!
we are byke with another challenge today.
so my question to you is this: 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 rockin’ with this dope chick 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.
small is relative.
the step(s) you take today can appear big to you or big to someone else.
so let’s say you are taking one step today that aligns with the lifestyle that you most desire.
you’ve got the power!
choosing to take action is always a choice.
I’m not going to force you + no one else needs to force you to do anything because this is your life + you get to decide how you want to live it.
go ‘head + hold that power in your hands.
get a feel for how that feels.
give yourself space + time experience how it feels to say ‘yes’ + ‘no’ because you say so.
be ’bout that life!
i encourage you to something about it; to take some action!
you say you ’bout that lifestyle, be about that lifestyle!
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.
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.
put forth an effort, fam.
how many times have you told yourself or told others:
- “i’ve always wanted to do that”
- “i’ve always wanted to try that!”
- “i’ve been meaning to do that!”
- “wow — i’ve never done that before. looks like something i’d try for sure!”
- “i definitely need to try/do that!”
well that’s perfect because today is your day, sis!
to do this week:
givin’ us the best that you’ve got.
today’s action is to do something you’ve always wanted to do.
whether that’s waking up early to catch a sunrise in the park 🌅,
free falling back down to earth during a skydive (with a parachute of course) 🪂,
or dressing up for a dinner at a swanky restaurant that you’ve never been to before but have always wanted to experience,
commit to finally doing it today.
planning a trip to another state when you’ve never flown on a plane before or been out of state is committing to doing multiple new things at once. imagine how awesome it can be to finally get to experience a place you’ve always wanted to experience — Paris, hello!
wait, you have always wanted to do it, right?
so if what you are saying is true, why haven’t you done it yet?
over the course of the week, remind yourself that sometimes you may face challenges in getting what you’ve always wanted + that you crush challenges on a daily so figuring it out is nothing!
remind yourself that you have the power to overcome.
remind yourself that every challenge that has gotten in your way, you’re here + alive to talk about it.
you crush challenges every single day.
how is this one any different?
going alone is always an option.
sometimes, you’ll have to save a little coin to get to where you wanna go.
sometimes, you’ll have to switch up some lifestyle choices to get you in the position to fully experience said thing.
sometimes, you’ll have to do these things by yourself in order to get it done.
let none of that stop you from getting what you’ve always wanted.
what’s the point in waiting for someone to join you for dinner?
at that rate, you may never go.
why are you waiting for someone to say “yes, i’ll sit with you” before you experience a sunset?
you can do that on your own.
can company alter the experience? greatly.
you may like having them around + then again, you may not get to fully experience whatever you wanted to do because now you’re catering to someone else’s desires.
if their desires don’t align with yours, then what’s the point?
we rob ourselves of opportunities when we’re waiting on someone else.
so don’t be afraid to face these challenges alone.
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 wait is over.
whatever you’ve been waiting for to live your life to the fullest is here + it’s waiting for you to take advantage of it.
your rebirth begins now.
every day you have the opportunity to start over, to conquer new challenges, + to experience new facets of life.
do yourself a solid + discover a different dimension of living today.
life doesn’t have to look as it always has for you. it can look different.
exercise your birthright to choose how you want to move forward today.
ask yourself:
- how do i want today to feel?
- what can i do today that I’ve always said i wanted to do but have yet to do it?
align your actions with your desires + truly experience living a rich + full life.
