In this episode, I discuss the importance of not lowering yourself to build other people up. Some of the signs that you need to learn how to spot when it comes to whether or not you lower yourself when it comes to trying to make everybody else happy. You're doing all of these things to make sure everybody else is good, being a seat filler, captain save a hose, build a bear and a doll, and being a people pleaser that will take advantage of the fact that you are lowering yourself. And how to go about not lowering yourself to build other people up, and neglecting yourself at the same time?

I decided to only post this podcast episode on only one podcast, but I decided to post on this podcast due to because I wanted this podcast to hear it. In this episode, I had a conversation with Ken Wortley about his book the Gospel of Secrets. Ken is the bestselling author of The Gospel of Secrets: A Memoir of Truth, Liberation, and Love, and a former pastor with two decades spent guiding communities in the U.S. Through his memoir and advocacy, Ken has inspired countless people to embrace self-worth and inner peace as both LGBTQ+ and people of faith. His own transformation—from hiding his true identity to living openly with authenticity and spiritual integrity—is a story of real liberation, breaking cycles of shame, and learning to trust yourself even when tradition says otherwise. we talked about the importance of once you heal and recover and you accept yourself as far as the true and real version of yourself you're never gonna go back to the illusion version of yourself. we talked about how so many people are living a lie, and covering up the real version of themselves. And how that is never a good thing to do. This conversation was an absolute phenomenal conversation. I'm glad that I did the conversation with him because there are millions of people that are hiding the true version of themselves because their parents will never accept the fact that they are gay. And the freedom when people finally admits to not own themselves, but to other people the real version of themselves. We also talk about how people in the gay community are treated when it comes to the church. And how he went from a pastor, to a husband, father, to his discovery of realizing that he was a gay man. This conversation is something that I hope helps millions of people that are struggling with the real version of who they are when it comes to being a gay or lesbian individual. And it's time for us to really have these true conversations about this topic. Especially when it comes to spirituality, and how people use it as a weapon against these types of people. And I think the one thing about being the real version of yourself that is the very beginning of your recovery and healing is once you learn to accept and appreciate the real version of yourself regardless of who doesn't.

This episode on my podcast is a podcast that I did on TikTok about letting go of the old version of you in order to become the new and better version of you. Letting go of all of the old feelings that you have towards the people who have wronged you. Letting go of what people have said about you negatively that has an impact it and affected your self-esteem, self-worth, self value, self-respect, self-confidence, and you believe it in yourself despite what other people think about you. Letting go of the could have, should have, and would have things that you could’ve, should have, and would have done, but you didn’t. Letting go of the version of you that’s holding you back from your greatness due to you being caged, chained, and in bondage mentally when it comes to post traumatic slayed disorder. The reason that this is important is because if you don’t, you’re never gonna move forward and become the new version of yourself that you were meant to be. Doing all of the things that you should be doing that you won’t do because you can’t let go of the old version of you. It was a very good conversation, and I hope you guys enjoy it.

In this episode, I’m gonna be discussing the importance of seeing things and people for what and who they truly are instead of what we want want them to be, and the situation to become. The one thing about healing and recovery that you’re gonna have to learn is you’re gonna have to learn to see things exactly for what they are when it comes to other people and situations. People are not going to do, say, treat, act, or think or behave like you, or how you want them too. If we don’t start seeing the outside world when we walk out the door for who and what it truly is, is the majority of the reason why we go through the things we go through with these other people and situations due to not seeing them for what and who they truly are. So in this episode, I’m gonna be talking about how even though you see, and want people to be a certain way, doesn’t mean that they’re going to be the way you want them to be. Just because you want something or somebody doesn’t mean that that person wants you, or you’re meant to have what it is that you want. Just because somebody chooses you, doesn’t mean that they like or accept you. So this podcast episode is going to be interesting.
