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