hi everyone welcome back to another podcast episode my name is Alicia Gogan the host of The Globe Secrets podcast where I help you expand your mind and become more self-aware so that you can glow up into the best version of yourself guys she is here the new podcast art hopefully it is loaded on both Spotify and apple I'm pretty sure if I timed it right at this point you should be able to see it if you are on YouTube My thumbnail will have it but you should also just go check it out if you want or maybe you know what I'll do you a favor and I'll just insert it on the actual YouTube video so you can see guys we are finally rebranded I have been talking about this photo shoot and rebranding the podcast art for so long I'm not gonna lie I really did not love my podcast art that I had for the longest time I loved the blue aesthetic blue is always my favorite color like I'll ride a die for blue but the photo of me I just didn't love it because it just wasn't like a professional photo I made that on canva literally when I first created my podcast actually I had another photo which is still on Spotify hopefully I'm gonna be able to change that if not it's totally fine it's just gonna look completely different but anyways I just felt like it was totally not a good representation of how I look now like it's not that I can't look like that because when I do that slick back ponytail it's a Vibe but it was just like a selfie but you know what it did the trick and you know what this is another thing to remind yourself of if you are somebody who is a Creator or wants to do something even in your own business you don't need to have everything perfect to start okay it's been how long over a year and a half of me having this podcast and not having a quote-unquote professional photo taken of me for the podcast art and even then I still could have rebranded it and made it look better and actually just took my own photos but I wanted to do a whole photo shoot so anyways it is here I am literally so happy with how this photo came out now I have many other photos that I like had taken different Vibes as well we did do a blue shoot where we had like a blue backdrop and I was wearing blue but I did find that it was really washing me out and I didn't love I had a feeling I had a feeling that my background for the podcast art was no longer going to be blue and I love blue but I just kind of had a feeling so when we went and did the photo shoot I wanted to try both a blue background a white one and also a pink one I knew I wanted to do my makeup like light pink aesthetic like soft pink Vibes I guess um and so when I got there we decided to do the pink backdrop to like see how it would look with my makeup and it just popped and the photo that I have of me sitting down wearing the blue top with the white jeans the flare jeans that was not even my original idea of how I was going to look how I was going to be sitting and the outfit that I was going to be wearing I literally spent I dropped 100 on this really beautiful dress and I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be the one that was going to be uh the photo of me like I just whatever so I know obviously I brought it back but um I am obsessed with this photo I think that it is such a represent big representation of who I am okay let me just quickly do a backstory here because I did make an Instagram post about this but or well maybe depending on when you're listening to this we'll come up before the Instagram post but um I really wanted this photo shoot to be such a big representation of who I am and how all of the content that I have been creating and putting out for you guys how that content has created me the most glued up version of myself so I really wanted to be a representation of the glow up and now we all are going to look different obviously we all look different we have different ideas of what a glow up means and it's so unique to us but I just really wanted to be the best version of me and it's interesting because when I was thinking about doing this photo shoot I actually was thinking well one of when you think about a photo shoot what do you think about you think about your makeup your outfit your hair and at this point when I decided that I wanted to do a photo shoot I didn't I wasn't really wearing my hair natural like that uh it was the winter time I was still doing slickback ponytails and like I've talked about it many times that I've had a journey with accepting my natural hair and I've come such a far away but I still wasn't really wearing it out like that much whatever and so it was time for my yearly or really I should be doing it every six months um haircut and so this was back in when was it January February March maybe March or something March yeah before I moved and I got my hair trimmed and went back home and got it done professionally by this like Diva hair Diva Curl hair yeah whatever I don't know um a specialist that knows how to cut curly hair and when she did it and she always Styles my hair I was just and I've gotten my hair done before and it's so different when you go to a hair salon and you actually style it especially if you have curly natural hair and you're not used to wearing it out that way or even going as far as not really taking care of it once you get it done you literally look in the mirror and you're like I didn't even know my hair could look this good and then it inspires you to take better care of your hair and to like you know even maybe show you it's possible for you to actually love your hair and look how beautiful you look with when your hair is done correctly and I think all my life I I didn't even know how to do my hair properly at all I had no idea so a big part of the reason why I didn't even love my hair was because I didn't even know how to do it and it never looked good and on top of that of course I wanted to fit in and no one had the hair that I had so obviously there was that component as well so but I've seen how my hair can look when you actually do it properly but I kind of just just like left it and then I was working like three jobs and I just didn't really care too much to like I didn't have a lot of time doing my hair whatever excuses excuses so anyways when I did it this time when I got my hair done I I was definitely more rooted in a lot of self love as well like this year anyways so I just looked at like you know when you have like body dysmorphia it's like my hair looked exactly the way that it looked before a few years back when she did it but this time I look at it and I'm like I can truly see how beautiful my hair is um but I wasn't really able to appreciate that like in 2020 when she did it because I just wasn't there yet with my hair journey I just didn't really look on my hair like a like beautiful like curly hair like beautiful or at least mine so anyways I was like I was actually so obsessed with it and I was so I was really like I surprised myself because I'm like I can't believe I I look at my hair so differently even though it's the exact same it hasn't grown longer uh the curl pattern's not different it looks the same but I love it and it's just crazy what you putting in the work you're like doing the inner work on your self-image can do to how you look at yourself over the years and how you you know when you stop hating on yourself so much and you start exposing yourself to people who look like you and to really just go on a self-acceptance journey and be like I'm totally like my I am beautiful my hair is beautiful my skin everything about you know all of these things and how you really actually look in the mirror and you and you can appreciate who you are even though you've always been this way but it's like you're look it's just I don't know so it kind of blew my mind so anyways again anyways I'm saying it a thousand times I love the way that my hair looked and as soon as I got home drove home I looked in the mirror and I was so obsessed with my hair and I was like I need to wear my hair like this for the photo shoot and it only makes sense and you know what there was a huge part of me that was so scared because I wasn't used to really wearing my hair out natural like that at all like I didn't even have any Instagram photos of my hair like out like big natural curly hair and it's not a normal thing for me to wear out and about and all these things so you know in my uncomfort in my own home I will whatever but again I didn't really have that much experience but I knew that that fear was really just me keeping small and that it would I'd be doing myself a disservice if I just acted on that fear and said no no let me go uh get a wig or get fake hair in or do my ponytail even and those are beautiful things and I would look amazing doing that and you know I I will always love the way that I look with the with the slick back uh ponytail with the the fake hair piece Luxy hair is where I get that ponytail from by the way you guys a lot of you guys asked me where I got that um or like I don't get wigs really in but I like the way my hair looks like straight like whatever it's great I look amazing and I'll always love that but it's also like you can wear your hair natural too you know and you can look just as beautiful and so I had that feeling but I was like this is it this is my time to show the world the the absolute best version most glowed up version most natural version of me and I have to wear my hair natural so this photo shoot was just became so much bigger than I even really thought it was in a split second just literally just based off of my hair so I know that some of you guys might look at it and be like oh my God it's a great photo or you might not really think about it but like there's such a big story even behind this just the fact that I'm wearing my natural hair and I and the fact that I love this photo of me it's literally one of my favorite photos of myself is just it goes to show how far I've come because literally I'm gonna like start crying right now okay I think we can do this I just look back on the entirety of my life and I can't believe how big of an issue that I thought that my hair was and how big of a role it played in my confidence and how I lived my life and how I dress myself and what I did to my hair like all the things that I did to my hair because I just didn't love it and I didn't accept it and I didn't even know how to do it and now finally being 27 27 years old finally I'm like wearing my hair and just like being myself the way that I should have literally always been it just blows my mind so girl I did not expect to cry on the podcast today but um yeah it just became a very big very important photo shoot for me and I am so happy that I did it and I think that just I just look at this whole hair Journey the same way that I look at like my my body image or just even who I am as a person and you know it takes sometimes so long for you to go through the process of actually loving yourself and I I do want to share that with you guys because obviously I come on here and I share with you guys all the things that I've overcome and you know how I I love myself more and I self-accept and whatever but and sometimes it can feel like such a long journey for you and it has for me in so many different ways especially with my body but I feel like I'm I'm sharing the story because only really at 27 years old am I ending that chapter of self-hate really and another piece of I don't know maybe inspiration if you're going through anything similar whether it's your hair or your body your skin your whatever there will be stages right so I wasn't always absolutely hating my hair like I've said the past few years I've really really embraced my hair and I've loved it but it's taken time and I think like even when we talk about body image we just expect ourselves to just once we realize we don't like ourselves and we want to fix our body image and we want to love ourselves more we expect that like the next day we're just going to accept ourselves and be happy and it's just it's not really how it works but it also doesn't need to be like that it's so fine if that if you're in a stage in your life where you don't fully accept it yet like it took me so many years to do like one stage after another after another um a stage of being okay with the fact that I was no longer going to straighten my hair anymore like perm my hair anymore and then I I you know another phase in my life was like okay you know what I love myself enough to stop ironing my hair and burning my hair off and then you know another year it's like okay I love myself more to um make sure that I'm getting Trims and I'm doing deep conditioners every weekend now and then um finally I'm more this year I'm more confident with putting my hair in a bun and having my curls out not too much but just a little bit like you know all of those processes they they take time and take phases and I think that's totally okay and I think that sometimes when we feel like we're not fully 100 okay with what we're trying to work on we think that we've been regressing or we're failing or um we're slipping up or we're messing up and that's not how it works that's not how healing works that's really not how anything Works in life so I don't know maybe that's just like some motivation for you I know I just went on a literal 20 minute rant almost but I say all that to say I am so happy that my podcast art represents who I am which is the best version of myself honestly the most glued up version of myself um another thing is I'm so happy because my photographer ended up calling me I think a day or two before the shoot and he said that the hair and makeup girl wasn't able to come so we could either move the shoot or we can keep it on that same day and it was actually a relief to me that he told me that because I had this internal knowing that I could do my makeup myself and on top of that I I was going to be doing my natural hair like I knew at that point I had booked the hair and makeup girl but then I realized and the hair was more for her to like fix it and be there on the photo shoot day so that's like my hair could look good whatever but I I knew I was going to be doing my hair like no one else would be able to do it um so when he told me that she wasn't coming I was like you know what this is actually good and I want this because I can do it I can do my makeup I can do my hair I don't need somebody to tell me how to look or how to be and of course obviously it's so great to have like makeup artists and like hair stylists and stuff like especially when you're doing like like Vogue photo shoots which was not that um you need that obviously but the the nature of the shoot it made sense for me to not have that it made sense for me to just be myself do my makeup do my hair show up as I am and be okay with any imperfections and I also I went into that shoot just knowing like not having this high standard of how I should look or um how the photo should turn out because obviously when I was talking to my photo my photographer we had a mood board we really talked about which was so great um Darius and I'll leave his information in the description if you're interested in having a photo shoot in Toronto I think he goes to Vancouver and L.A sometimes maybe I think I don't know but we really talked about how we wanted the audience to feel when they saw this photo and some of the things that I actually expressed was I wanted I wanted you guys to feel very welcomed I wanted you to feel like you could see the best version of yourself within me in a way like you could be inspired like when you look at this photo it's like this is the energy that I want to be in I want to be in this healing energy this maybe even feminine energy I didn't actually have that word like feminine energy but um I wanted it to be a very welcoming very glowed up space in a way that was natural I really wanted to be the most natural version of my of myself and I knew being welcoming being healing being your natural most glowed up version of yourself means being imperfect and not trying to control every single thing and like I said the mood boards that I had created I knew creating those mood boards the old me would have been so tied up on making sure that I literally sat the exact same way that I found that that girl was sitting and made sure my hair was exactly like that and my clothes looked exactly like hers and I didn't want that so I was very detached from that mood board um because I knew that the magic was gonna come on my own like I was going to again I the the photos that were going to come out were going to be completely different than what was on the actual mood board which it was the mood board was simply just a mood board but sometimes when I used to like make mood boards like visualizing things as well when I like even in manifestation um I would literally try to live up to the images on my mood board to a T and then I would be so critical and hard on myself when I didn't look like that girl I didn't have that body or didn't have that hair so I kind of like moved away from doing mood Wars for a very long time um I do them now though but I look at them in such a different way I really really look at them for like the colors inspiration the vibe the energy but it has nothing to do with like I do not need to look like that girl because I am inherently worthy and amazing and I have my own unique beauty that will shine through if I stop telling myself that I need to look a certain way and realistically the beauty comes from you being imperfect and allowing yourself to be imperfect because when you try too hard and you try and like you know even with when we're talking about photos but really anything in life when you just try to have the perfect speech or the perfect line or say the perfect thing to the guy you're talking to or wear the perfect outfit it's just so much pressure to the point where it's like it's not you like let's just be the real you and that's what this photo is it's the real me so I didn't expect to be even sitting down on the ground I didn't expect to be wearing that outfit I didn't expect to be doing the pose where I was looking up and I just thought that's such honestly that is such a reflection of me me sitting down and looking up to my left hand my right I don't know where I'm looking um because I am always wondering I am always pondering I'm always thinking so it's like what better photo than for me to be looking up to the side and like wondering you know because I want you guys to think I want you guys to wonder I want you guys to expand your mind so I am very happy also so the photo the not like the actual photo was taken by Darius and maybe I'm I should probably show some you guys like some of the other photos we'll see like where I post them I'm not sure you I I might use one of them for my book on the back for the author photo I don't know yet but the editing though other than the actual photo was done by me mwah and canva so I made the glow up Secrets I did a little glitter I really love the fact that I'm wearing a little bit of blue because I really wanted that um and I made sure to have the butterflies a little bit of blue in there I love butterflies I just think that's such a good representation of us all of us in this community just like this little baby cocoon and it needs to like it's trying to find its way and then you just like fly open and it's like that was your core I don't know I just I love it um so I think that it's it makes sense to be on that that photo and I put a little bit of glitter I don't know if you could tell but I put a little bit of glitter under where I was sitting because it's like you're glowing up into the best version yourself so yeah I hope you guys love it let me know and also with me posting the new cover art I have decided to make a podcast Instagram now some of you guys have already found it and it's been locked it's been um I made it private because I wasn't posting on it and it was actually a second account that I had from a very long time ago um but I just wasn't posting on it and I've gone back and forth with making an Instagram for podcast you don't need to like if we're talking about like a business standpoint and or just being a content creator you don't need an Instagram for your podcast to grow it you don't need a second chat like you don't need all these things but I've been very inspired to just actually finally have a second page for my Instagram because yeah for sure I want to build it and I want to build my audience and I want to build a community but I just want to like have a space for me to like update you guys make sure you guys are always getting um updates regarding when the podcast is going live and I also want to make it kind of like a kind of like a Pinterest board in a way um to inspire you guys because I love Pinterest and I know not everyone has Pinterest and or we don't really look at the same thing so I would love to be able to translate some of the things that I'm seeing on Pinterest and putting it on the podcast and hope it will not hope but kind of have it connect or translate with the episodes that are going to be live that week um also make sure to follow it because I'm going to be starting to ask you guys all of the Q and A's on the podcast Instagram so the podcast Instagram is the glow up Secrets podcast I'll make sure to have all of the links of course in the description moving forward but yeah I'm just really excited for this new Rebrand and to continue to build this community on on YouTube if you guys are watching on YouTube of course still gonna be a thing um Instagram if you guys want some inspiration you want to keep up with the podcast then definitely go follow I think it's gonna be so fun in the summer just to keep us all motivated did you know there's gonna be so many topics we're gonna be talking about this summer romanticizing your life which we're going to talk about next week I was going to talk about it today but I'll tell you why we're not um and I don't know just like hot girl things like it's the summer of loving ourselves and being hot so like what the heck like what the heck we all need to be on the same page thank you okay so last week and I mentioned this on last week's podcast episode which I ended up posting on like the weekend or I don't even know I think it was like Monday or Tuesday yesterday maybe that I posted I don't even know I was locked out of my spreaker account which hosts my podcast and distributes them and all I can chop it up to is Mercury retrograde there's no other there is no other explanation there was like this weird bug that happened and I was trying to contact spreaker and I couldn't get a hold of them because it was a weekend and like nobody was like available for me to like get in contact which uh with which was kind of annoying because I'm like what if I was Joe Rogan and I had this podcast and I just like it was just not available on Apple like would you guys just be saying wait till Monday I don't know whatever you it's fine I get it um it's back now but I just wanted to touch on that because I always hear that when Mercury is in retrograde there's always technical issues happening and that was such a weird technical issue that is just like it just doesn't happen so anyways I don't know maybe just also another reminder like if anything is going weird in your life right now just blame it on the planet blame it on the planet because sometimes ignorance is absolutely Bliss and that is something that I have been coming to a realization these days is I've just decided sometimes to just choose ignorance is bliss over like spiraling and listening to everyone else's opinions and advice and everything that everyone else has going on like I'm saying my own lane respectfully and making sure that I'm very responsible with it but I'm staying in My Own Lane thank you okay so today I have been a little bit overwhelmed I think it's and it's actually a good overwhelm it's like good stress there's been a lot of things coming my way in terms of opportunities with Brands and brand work and also I just had a literal death and rebirth and came alive again so I have been having to get back into creating content and stuff so and obviously living my life seeing my friends doing things but with that I feel like everything hit me at once and I've been feeling very overwhelmed with different content like I'm doing all these different scripts these brand deals these these video Concepts I have a million things going on and I feel like there's so much going on so I when I get in those situations sometimes I end up like getting Frozen like I get Frozen in time and I'm not able to decide and make a decision and so what I tend to do I see myself constantly procrastinating and putting things off and like making excuses as to why I still haven't picked up the camera and and filmed when I should have filmed like two hours ago um so anyways that was today and so I decided finally it's literally like almost five o'clock that we were just gonna make this episode be updates and chit chatty and then next week we will talk about what I already actually have written out for romanticizing your life and why I think it's so important to do that but I just couldn't get myself to get there I couldn't get myself to do it so we're not doing it and this is your sign that you know what if you find yourself procrastinating sometimes just release the freaking resistance and do something completely different and like stop having such a huge attachment on the fact that it needs to be done right this second I guess sometimes we do have deadlines but like sometimes we just get in our own ways and it's actually insane as to why like there's no need to stress okay so that's that so if you're stressing right now stop literally stop right now thank you whatever you're thinking about wherever your mind just went if you're thinking about a guy you're thinking about your job you're thinking about your health your body your summer plans or whatever in a negative way not in a positive way with the summer plans stop thank you stop also um like I just mentioned with the brand deals I'm gonna be doing a few more upcoming on my main channel so if you guys do watch the main Channel I really appreciate the support like my last video I just did a buff bunny collection which was so aligned because I love them I literally love their workout sets and if you want them by the way I do have a code Alicia 10 Elicia 10 for money off little plug there but um yeah I did a collab with them and you guys were so happy for me also we hit 200 000 subscribers on YouTube which is insane so also thank you for that totally forgot about that I think I forgot about that because I just knew it was like already in my existence because that's how I think about things when it comes to things that I want in my life I just have a belief that it's happening and that's that I decide how I want things to go in my life and you should too you should really just start deciding what gets to happen because if you don't then other people get to decide for you and I'm not in the business of letting other people decide what gets to happen to my life so um sometimes it's like anti-climactic a little bit for me when I hit Milestones because I'm just like I already knew it was gonna happen but anyways thank you for walking with me I cannot wait to hit 1 million subscribers on the YouTube um what was I saying the brand deals I very much so appreciate you guys watching and supporting especially on videos where I'm doing a brand deal I get that not every brand deal that every influencer does or Creator does will be aligned to you and you'll be interested in it which is totally fine I'm not I'm definitely not there's many creators where I watch their content and I just for me I think it's it's part of my job so I understand it because like we're in the same field but even way before I was a content creator I just understood that that was just like a part of their job like brand deals are something that help support creators so I watch them um if I'm interested in the product then sure great if I don't love it it's not a big deal um so I really do respect and appreciate you guys when you do watch any of my content and I do have a brand deal and you guys are still rocking with me and supporting even if you go if you don't buy anything or if you're not like actually interested in it I appreciate that because you know I get it like we don't always want to see a bunch of brand deals and things like that and stuff but again I really have grown my channel to a point where I'm only doing brand deals that make sense for my audience and again not every single person is going to be interested in listening and wanting anything to do with that but that's totally fine or something that and or I should say that I really love and I think that is so cool and like why not work with this brand and share it to more people and maybe you guys would be interested in you know the workout sets that I'm wearing and you know I think it's a cool brand or other ones that I'm coming up that I'm not going to mention too much right now but anyways so thank you guys so much for all the support and all the love another thing is just like you guys on my my comments and my DMs you're just so incredibly nice like you guys are all just so freaking nice to me and I really really appreciate it and I see your comments and I try my best to get um back to you guys it's very hard but I do spend a lot of time getting back to you guys and I I just yeah I love you guys you guys are great and I can't wait to just conquer this summer Summer's gonna be so incredibly fun another thing that I did recently I don't know if a lot of you guys know what like to know it is but it's essentially I kind of think about it as like an Instagram in a way where you could post your outfits um products that you're really loving and you can link them so that you know if somebody really likes your outfit then they can go and find it it's like all affiliate links so like we'll be transparent with that but I revamped my like to know it so I'm gonna start posting well I already have I have a lot of outfits on there but I'm gonna continue to keep posting so anytime I can find a link for anything um just know that I have everything in one spot now so if you go to my link in my bio or description whatever and you go into my Candor the globe Secrets thing that I have um you'll see a link for you to go on that so that way like if you ever wanted to know you guys always ask me like where I get my shirts from I get a lot of them from garage I always say that um and whatever else my makeup products when I do get ready with me and stuff I have all of those links so if you are interested in anything ever it will be linked is my much as I can I try to find things there's obviously things that I wear from like last season I'm not somebody who goes through a million things but it's all on there and I'm really proud of that page okay I came up with a really cool idea for a YouTube video which should be up on Saturday so yeah yeah should be up on Saturday um and it's basically I don't want to give too much away but it's like I don't really know what it's going to be exactly title but it's basically a summer kickoff kickoff video and essentially it's just gonna be a video to motivate you and inspire you to have the best summer of your freaking life and to change up your Vibe and to create a mood board like I made a whole mood board I talked about certain things that you can do to change your literal day-to-day life um because I have recently just done the same thing like I'm very much so in the energy of the summer I've wrote out my goals uh things that are going on I'm thinking about all the things that are happening and I'm creating an identity and I'm creating a Vibe and I'm curating that and I'm living that out and I'm doing that because I want to have the best freaking summer of my life and I want you guys to have the same and the The Prompt or the inspiration that I actually had to make this video came from the other day or actually when I was sick I was going through my archives on my Instagram stories and I was looking back at last summer and I just had the best freaking summer despite literally not having the life that I have now because at that point I just believed it was gonna happen and I was eventually going to live the life that I am right now full-time content creator not working a job that I didn't love but I we know that story whatever um I still enjoyed the hell out of my summer I had a spiritual girl summer I was like morning routines going on my balcony doing my journals pulling freaking goddess cards I had my crystals going my incense I had certain songs that just hit and I started playing them again even this um like just recently and I was like oh my gosh this reminds me of Summer and I just want to like curate A vibe for this summer so that I can look back and be like that was like the best summer ever so anyways I got inspired and I was like we need to do this again and everyone needs to be on board with me you guys are gonna make your own like mood boards though and you're gonna do certain things that will allow you to feel like you're the best version of you and get excited for summer and whatever capacity that looks like or feels like but we're all going to be doing that so that video is going to come so I'm really excited for you guys to see that I'm very much so in my okay I said this before I'm going to Calgary guys I need to explore Canada way more like I don't know what I've been doing anyways I'm going to Calgary in July and I there listen I've been saying that my soul is somewhere residing still in the south in America though um from a past life but I am so inspired and motivated to be this like Coastal cowgirl this summer I know I know how did I go from Central C to saying that I want to be like at the Calgary Stampede I don't know but we are here and we're doing it and that is a Vibe like I made a Pinterest board for Calgary Stampede and you can follow it if you want but um whatever it doesn't matter uh and I am so like I want to be wearing cowboy boots I I like the brown aesthetic I want the cowboy hat and I was also thinking of my girl how are you gonna fit the cowboy hat on your hair because your hair is naturally big it's totally fine we'll figure it out um I found really cute outfits like I'm just really here for the coastal cowgirl I really am um also like the Suburban housewife Vibe I'm really into like I talk about this a lot like I really all I want in my life is to live in the suburbs and have a beautiful home beautiful family be happy as hell live my best life having my wine nights with my girlies like that's a Vibe but that's the thing I want that for my future but I'm gonna live like I have it now so that's like that's what I'll be talking about in the video like go we don't need to wait you are going to pull little things that make you feel the best and that your soul is calling that you really really want but you're gonna start doing it now so you're gonna get the music you're gonna get the mood boards you're gonna get the literal habits that are going to make you feel like you're already living that reality now because realistically we're talking about manifestation that's what you're supposed to do okay we're not waiting for anything there's nothing to wait for there's nothing to wait for you decide now we are done looking at the reality that we have and being like I don't have it I don't have the Suburban life I don't have the husband I don't have this done the third no be the version of you that has that thank you so that's what we're doing I'm really really excited as you can obviously tell okay and another thing that I'll talk about in the video but also that's really been helping me is to make playlists so I've been sharing my Spotify playlist I told you guys I was going to do in in the winter time and I did it and I'm so proud of myself um so I've made a bunch of Summer playlists so you can definitely search up my name Alicia Gogan on Spotify and you can find it I'll have it linked as well a lot of you guys have been liking it and following me I love that like not me being a DJ my dad used to be a DJ I feel like Loki I could be a really good DJ I'm not gonna lie maybe that could be a hobby this summer we'll see I have very good music taste and I like a lot of different genres of music so anyways I made a lot of playlists so if you haven't been following there's so many like summer house music rap music of course there's so many but I recently just made another one and it's called a Spanish summer so if you are into Spanish music then that playlist will absolutely be for you and I think that that's gonna be a big player in my my vibe that I'm curating for the summer and I'm here for it there's just something about Spanish music because I was getting kind of sick and tired of listening to the same music whether it be my my house music or my rap music and stuff especially because I go to the gym a lot so I'm always playing them but I was like okay what kind of music can I play right now that's gonna like get me into a happy vibe in like the vibe of Summer but I'm not like listening to the same songs over and over again and then a Spanish song came on from my liked um songs from a while ago and I was like no this is it I'm back I'm back in the vibe so anyways I made a playlist it's really good I know nothing about what they're saying at all and I think that that's the beauty of this whole thing like this whole playlist I think that that's what it that's what makes me like it more it's like I I'm not I don't know what they're saying and I don't want to know so anyways that's going to be all the updates um I really hope that you like the podcast art I really hope that you follow the Instagram I really hope that you continue to rock with me this summer I'm really excited to have you guys by my side listening you guys are always just sharing listening and being here with me and I love it and um it's gonna be a very beautiful amazing summer and we're going to come to so many realizations we are going to grow so much we are going to manifest so many things we are going to step so much more into our self-worth which in turn will create the life that we really really are aspiring to have but we're going to do that by becoming the change so that starts now if you haven't already started so yeah I love you guys so much and I will see you or you will
