Don’t Hit Snooze

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!

Hey love, welcome to What's Your Deal Wednesdays!! A segment on Don't Hit Snooze the Podcast that includes unhinged and uncensored conversation with Talls (Sarah) and Smalls (your host, Cachetta Chére).

Listen in once a month (unless requested for more) and here us talk about how life can get the best of you but how not to be "that guy," in a world that might push you to be and do just that. Listen in and level up, but most of all, be reminded to just be a good human. Hear from two women who are TOTAL OPPOSITES with very strong opinions and rationale.

Nothing is off limits as far as we are concerned 'cause we really want to know, "WHAT'S YOUR DEAL?"

Thank you all for listening! Welcome to 2023. More love, more convos, more guests, more growth, more of NOT sleeping on our potential. Period. Love y'all!

I found this list and lots of things on the list resonated with me regarding preparing for 2023 so I wanted to share it. Take what you need and leave the rest. I haven’t talked to y’all since 2022! Lol. I missed y’all. But seriously…

In today’s episode:

1. I share some “church announcements.”
2. I discuss 23 ways to prepare for this year and how to make the best and most of it.

We have 361 days, a little over 8600 hours left. What are you planning to do with them?

WE ARE AT OUR LAST EPISODE OF 2022. And guess what? It's my first time posting late. But today's episode is perfect. It's the perfect reminder that stuff happens and you have to go with it. Don't get bogged down. Don't flail. Don't stop. Don't stop doing what you're supposed to do or what you want to do just because it doesn't look the way you want it to look or things aren't panning out the way they did in your mind. Life be "lifing," so we got' roll with it.

Anyway, In today's episode, I discuss what I learned or what is a key takeaway from 2022. BE LIKE WATER. And why that's important for 2023...

In today's episode, I discuss:

1. The importance of pouring into yourself in order to make room for giving unto others. You can't pour from an empty cup. It's not a scripture but a quote, but a scripture to further explain this would be from Matthew 22:39, KJV: "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." You can't give to others what you ain't giving to yourself, simply put.
2. In the spirit of giving, don't forget yourself.
3. Being ok with not having it this time. If you haven't been / aren't able to or just don't plan to give / gift anything, that's ok. Those who matter don't mind; those who mind don't matter. That's not what this "holiday" is about anyway, right?Resources (some links may be affiliate links, so I receive a commission):Youtube Video: Episode 15Purchase “The 12-Week Year” by Brian P.

In today’s episode, I talk a little about what’s to o come, what my version of productive is, and the fact that it may look different for and/or may not even be seen as productive to someone else. And that’s ok.

This podcast is my personal creative outlet, but it also serves as a reminder, especially, to those who find this podcast along the way to becoming their best selves, that consistency is so important. There is always room for growth and we will NEVER reach perfection, but what I do know is: average consistency is an OXYMORON. Those two things will never exist for long in the same sentence, in the same thought process, in the same room.

Anyway, in today’s episode,

1. I discuss how to shift your perspective around how you view consistency and how it can help you finish this year strong without the overwhelm.

Hey, loves! I’m so excited to be back with another episode, but not so excited about the news I’m sharing. I, unfortunately, have been a recipient (cause I DON’T subscribe to that ‘victim,’ word) of a crime. Although, I’m glad we’re safe, I had some items stolen that held sentimental value, so I’m a little saddened, but so grateful to God that I was able to get my window replaced the next day.

In today’s episode:

1. I discuss my personal experience of a crime that’s all too common in the streets of Chicago at this time.
2. I share how I’m moving forward with the end of the a month and the beginning of a new month, as well as ending a new year and beginning a new year soon.
3. I provide some tips on how to take a trip down 2022 using my “RV method” and how to gain some perspective on our lives to avoid the race to the end of the year and to resist the rush and to fully embrace the reset.

Things are moving exactly how we choose. We can choose to see things as moving too quickly or moving too slowly; coming too soon or not coming soon enough. Perception is important, but perspective is everything,

PART 3!!! FINALLY!!! Like I said a couple episodes ago, I am so excited to have had Tee come back. Part 1 was spicy, part 2 is for the people who have been down on themselves about any and everything, and baby, part 3 is a reminder that we ALL have blind spots and it’s up to us to communicate with our loved ones so that we adhere to our own standards and help them to rise to them if they aren’t due to their own blindspots.

In today’s episode:

1. We continued to talk about compassion–giving it to yourself and others.
2. We discuss the importance of communicating one’s needs to protect and maintain their boundaries and standards.
3. I briefly touch on feeling all the things, being ok with not being ok, and Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D) and what this time of year means for a lot of people.
4. Tee shared her professional perspectives, which is the perfect addition to our conversation. I LOVE IT HERE!

In today’s episode, instead of sharing part 3 of Chet & Tee, I felt lead to just do an impromptu talk from me to YOU. I decided to let you in on a little bit of the “tea” of where my head has been for the past couple days and weeks...you can even say years tbh. It boils down to a few things and a lot of them stem from these little ANTS (automatic negative thoughts), as well as some core beliefs rooted in traumatic childhood experiences.

Take a listen...

Journal Prompt: “Why is personal development important to you? Why do you want to become or why is it important for you to become a better version of yourself?

For me the simple answer is in Brian P. Moran’s book, “12 Week Year.” He says, “Don’t settle for anything less than the life you are capable of.”

PART 2!!! I’m so excited to have had Tee come back. Tee is a long-time friend, amazing communicator, and mental health professional so she brings her expertise to the table as we discuss a lot of things that are relevant in today’s society, from self-discipline to self-compassion, and brings a sweetness to the “Tee” by adding a professional perspective to the mix.

We had some technical difficulties so it means a lot that she made sitting down with your girl again a priority for her. We made it happen and it’s EVEN better than the first time we recorded. Part 1 was spicy, but part 2 is for the people who have been down on themselves about any and everything. We aren’t perfect and that’s why…

In today’s episode:

1. We finished up our drive down the friendship memory lane but also talked about social media beef, the stress that those types of unhealthy coping mechanisms can bring, and a bunch of other things that can happen if you don’t heal yourself and the way you view friendships.
2. We talk about compassion–giving it to yourself and others.
3. We discuss the importance of compassion as it relates to discipline and self-care.
4. We travel through the woes of parenting from a space of trauma and overcoming that through compassion and healing and not wanting to parent for the sake of “not showing up how your parents did” or simply “doing better than they did.”
5. Provide some encouragement to those who may have not been seeing
