So today is a little different. I just wanted

0:03

to sit down and chat with you because I

0:05

have an announcement to make. So

0:07

for weeks now, I have been feeling.

0:10

Just really, really bad. I

0:13

caught up one of my friends and just told her, like,

0:15

I just feel sucky. Those

0:17

are my exact words. I feel sucky. I

0:20

feel like I am not showing up

0:22

as my best. At work.

0:24

I am a struggling. At

0:27

home, I'm struggling. Um,

0:29

with my job in the Navy, I'm struggling.

0:32

We're real happy mom. I'm just struggling everywhere.

0:34

Like I just feel like I am

0:37

just like constantly dragging myself.

0:40

Um, I haven't been showing up my best in.

0:43

Pretty much every area of my life, I feel.

0:46

Like, I've just been doing a very mediocre

0:49

job. And I don't feel good about

0:51

it because that's not how I roll. I don't

0:54

typically. Operate

0:56

from a mediocre. Type of level.

0:59

I tend to. Try

1:01

to give my best whenever I can,

1:03

wherever I can. And I haven't.

1:06

And I know that I know

1:08

for months now, I

1:10

haven't. And so one of my

1:12

friends who knows me very well, who I talked to

1:14

often, she like immediately

1:17

knew exactly what was going on. And

1:20

she was like Tony. And I know the reason why

1:22

you feel like that. I know exactly why. She's

1:24

like Tony and you are burnt out.

1:28

And at first, when she sent it, I was like, nah,

1:30

I'm all right. I ain't burnt out. I just need

1:32

to go and pray and meditate

1:34

and fast for a little bit and figure

1:37

out what's going on with me. And she

1:39

was like, you can do all that, but I'm telling you. You're

1:42

burnt out. And

1:44

it like hit me like a ton of breaks. I was

1:47

like, she's right. She

1:49

pretty much like. She

1:51

read me so well, she pretty much told me, like,

1:53

you've been dealing with this situation.

1:56

For months now. You've

1:58

been struggling for months because

2:01

this one area is literally dragging

2:04

you down and sucking the life out of you. So

2:06

you can't show up. Your

2:08

best in other areas of your life, because

2:12

you've earned a literally being like sucked

2:14

in drag down. By one

2:16

particular situation in your life. And

2:18

that's why you feel like that. And

2:20

she is a hundred percent right. I

2:23

have been dealing with something for. It

2:27

really took effect in October, but

2:29

things had been brewing months before

2:32

that. So. It's pretty

2:34

much going on a year. Now that things

2:36

have just been brewing. And then

2:38

finally came to a head and October. And.

2:42

I pretty much gotten to a point where yeah.

2:46

I'm in this situation that I.

2:50

I really don't like, and the only way

2:52

for me to. Show

2:54

up better? Not only here on real

2:56

happy mom, but also at home.

2:58

And I work and went my

3:01

family. I have to

3:03

get myself into a better situation. And

3:06

I'll be honest with you. I've been struggling. With

3:09

content creation for the podcast. I have

3:11

been struggling with direction for

3:13

this podcast. I've been struggling with. What

3:16

am I going to do next for real happy mom, as

3:18

a whole. And so

3:21

I've realized that it's time for me to take a

3:23

break from your happy mom. Get

3:25

some things in order and then come back.

3:28

Really really strong. So I'm

3:30

telling you all of this. Because

3:32

one. I want you to know

3:34

that if you are struggling and you're just

3:37

feeling. Like you

3:39

got national and up your best. It's hard

3:41

for you to. You know, give your best

3:43

each day. Take a look and

3:45

see if there's something going on

3:47

that may be causing you to be in

3:49

this burnout, state, this like low

3:51

grade burnout state. It's

3:54

making you feel like. You

3:56

can't show up. Well, because that's exactly

3:58

what's going on with me. It's not like I'm

4:00

burnt out where I'm like, how

4:03

was before, where I just felt like I couldn't get out

4:05

the bed. I was just. In,

4:08

just so down and I just

4:10

couldn't do anything, right. And so

4:13

I need some time. From the

4:15

podcast to one,

4:17

get some things in order. Um,

4:20

typically during the summertime things to

4:22

slow down anyway. So I was planning

4:24
