00:00
Well, you look radiant and amazing.
00:02
And one of the things I love about you is just how you've expanded your brand.
00:05
Yes.
00:05
And that's, you know, with your amazing husband, but also outside of him as well.
00:09
Yes.
00:09
So when we think about podcasting, media personality, actress, influencer, you're covering the whole
00:15
gamut.
00:15
I can't believe that.
00:16
I'm here.
00:16
Now, let's talk about why you can't believe that.
00:18
Because it's not like you didn't have the giftings.
00:21
Indeed.
00:21
You didn't have the aptitude.
00:23
Indeed.
00:23
So where's the wow come in for you?
00:26
You know, I think in my mind, I had had this timeline in my head of by this age, I should
00:34
do this.
00:35
By that age, I should have accomplished that.
00:38
And I think women in general get wrapped up in that.
00:41
Yeah, we do.
00:42
And I realized recently that nothing is ever on our time.
00:48
Because whose time is it on?
00:49
God's time.
00:49
The good Lord.
00:50
The good Lord's time.
00:51
So I have an experience that happened recently, which is a new opportunity that came my way
00:57
that I cannot speak about yet, but you will hear about very soon.
01:00
And I can congratulate you though, even though I don't.
01:02
I appreciate that.
01:03
But that was just a moment that I can't wait to share that particular story because it was
01:09
nothing more than God's timing.
01:10
And I realized in being still and in being obedient to the stillness, in relinquishing
01:21
what I felt like was my time and the way things were supposed to pan out, God literally put
01:28
me in a position and I was like, are you sure?
01:31
Are you sure now?
01:33
And he said, yes.
01:34
But you know, imposter syndrome wants to creep in.
01:37
I was just talking about that with someone earlier today.
01:40
It's a real thing.
01:41
It's a real thing.
01:42
And Kadeem.
01:42
You creep in.
01:43
You know what's crazy?
01:44
It doesn't matter where you sit.
01:47
Like you could be, I don't know, and this is no shade, but hear me out guys.
01:52
You could be working minimum wage.
01:53
You could be a millionaire, billionaire.
01:54
It doesn't matter.
01:55
Imposter syndrome doesn't have a favorite.
01:57
Sure does.
01:58
It doesn't have a favorite.
01:59
But you know what?
02:00
We had a podcast recently.
02:01
So my husband and I, shout out to my man, my man, Deadass Podcast is now rebranded to
02:07
Ellis Ever After.
02:08
So if you enjoy podcasts, if you are a follower of Deadass, it's now Ellis Ever After on any
02:12
platform.
02:14
We had a guest, Kaylin Allen.
02:16
And Kaylin recently was on our show last season.
02:19
And he said, you know, I realized that I don't have imposter syndrome because I'm exactly
02:24
where I'm supposed to be.
02:25
And that really changed my perspective on things because I've been working to be in
02:31
these rooms.
02:32
I've been working for the opportunities that have come my way.
02:36
So why should I have imposter syndrome?
02:38
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
02:40
So that just reminded me as I'm talking to you and saying, I can't believe this is happening.
02:46
I need to believe that it's happening because I've worked to get to this point.
