Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello, Hello, Welcome back to Cheeky's and Chill podcast. I
hope your week is off to a happy, healthy, and
productive start. Today we're going to get into some things.
As you can tell by the title of the episode.
We're going to talk about letting go, letting go of
everyone who no longer serves you, who no longer deserves

(00:26):
your time, energy, and attention. Let's do this, Okay. So,
I don't know if you guys listened to the first
episode of the season, but if you haven't, go listen
to that, because then you're going to understand a little
bit more as to why I wanted to talk about
this topic very early on in the season because I

(00:51):
realized a few weeks ago that with this new change
or whatever it is that I'm going through or growing through,
should I say because I'm growing. I know I'm growing.
I know that I'm going to upset a few people maybe,

(01:13):
and I'm okay with that, and specifically people that have
to do with like my music career, because I don't
know if they're going to understand where I'm at, and
that's okay. I don't necessarily feel the need anymore to
like explain myself or over explain myself or have people

(01:36):
meet me where I'm at, and I don't necessarily want
to meet people where they're at. Whoever's meant to be
in my life is going to be in my life,
and it doesn't have to feel forced. I don't want
it to feel forced. We're just going to be on
the same frequency when I tell you, hey, this is
what I'm feeling, or be like, hey, cool, awesome, I'm
happy for you. Hell yeah, Like I'm going to feel
it right away is what I feel. And I know

(01:56):
there are going to be people that are going to
be like, what are you talking about? What do you mean?
Why would you do that? Like why would you put
a pause? Especially with like my career. You know, I
just won my third Grammy. I was nominated for the
second time in the American Grammy. Like my career musically
has been going amazing, and I'm so freaking grateful. And

(02:17):
some people would probably think like, Okay, this is not
the time, you need to keep the momentum going. But
in a way, I feel content with what I've been
able to accomplish. Not in a way I feel very content.
I feel very grateful. And you have to know when
to walk away. I have seen so many people, and

(02:38):
not just in my career or in my industry, should
I say, but in so many different industries that people
keep pushing because it gives them money, Like I understand that,
but they're not necessarily happy one hundred percent. They feel
like their soul is calling them to do something else
or take a little break, and they don't, and they
keep going and instead of it helping their career, it

(02:59):
damages their career and their image. And I am okay
with saying I want to put a pause, not a
stop button, just a pause button where it's like I'm
going to press the pause button for a little bit,
go do something else real quick, and figure something out
within myself, because if Janey is not spiritually aligned and

(03:19):
feeling good and feeling centered, then she's not going to
be able to be okay. For Cheeky's the person that
goes on tour and is on stage and gives so
much of herself, Like I feel like I need to
come back to Janee and I explain this all in
the first episode, but I have noticed and I don't
I don't necessarily want to say names because but I
think they know who they are. But I don't necessarily

(03:42):
want to say names because I don't think it's necessary.
But I think some people are kind of like maybe
not taking me that seriously. They're kind of like, oh,
it's just a moment thing. Maybe she's being emotional, you know,
like she's tired right now, like you know, because I was.
You know, last year was an and I this year.
I started off the year a little like exhausted, like

(04:03):
mentally more than anything. But it's not that this is
so much deeper than that. And I feel like the
people that are meant to be in my life or
this new season of my life are going to embrace
it and embrace this change and are going to be
excited for me. And if they're not, it's not like, okay, peace,

(04:24):
you're out of my life. No, but it's okay. If
we're not as close as we used to be, I'm
ready to lose all the right people or to lose
those relationships. Like if there's a friend, for instance, that
it's kind of like, oh, you know, don't have a baby,
then I'm gonna be like, well, then maybe you're not

(04:46):
meant to go with me to this next season of
my life. Because if you're not going to embrace what
I'm trying to do, especially if that person has kids.
You know, it's like, uh, wait, so you can have kids,
but just because I'm choosing to have children a little later, like, oh,
don't do it. That's not fair, you know. So that's
kind of where I'm at. I'm really listening in to

(05:06):
conversations and reading between the lines and really listening to
my soul right now. And I've been doing this for
a while, but now, more than ever, I'm okay with
walking away from situations or people, friendships, relationships that no
longer serve my highest good, like more than ever, especially

(05:27):
twenty twenty five. This is the year of the Snake Geys,
and with the snake comes a lot of wisdom rebirth
because a snake sheds their skin, so you're like rebirth
and changing and becoming who you're meant to become for
the next x amount of years. That's what this year
is all about. It's going to bring wisdom and it's

(05:48):
going to bring all that good stuff, but it also
is going to allow us to see people for who
they are, because you know, a snake is a serpent,
so they're sneaky and a lot of mass are going
to fall off in this twenty twenty five. You're going
to see people for who they really really are. A
lot of that is going to come up. So that
is going to prompt you to be you know, wiser

(06:10):
and make better choices hopefully and become a new person.
And this is something that I've kind of been feeling
since October November of last year, where I'm like, Okay,
something is happening, something is changing within me, and I
need to embrace it because change is uncomfortable. It is
and I'm a cancer and I've learned to be better
with change because cancers were not good with change. We

(06:32):
don't like change. It's like we are creatures of habit.
But that's also not good either. So I've learned to
be okay and embrace and welcome change. So I know
a lot of change is coming in my life and
I'm okay with it. And that also means that I'm
going to lose people along the way, and I am
open to it now, and I know that that's going
to hurt me. But if that means that I'm going

(06:55):
to be better and they're going to be better as
human beings, then so be it. Especially for my future
and for my future family. I need to protect that
more than ever. All I can say to those people
that I will be letting go and I might not

(07:17):
even know exactly who they are yet I have an
idea of a couple that I feel like, oh damn,
I think we're going to drift apart, hopefully not on
bad terms. Is that I don't want that, Like I
don't want to drop in my life either. Like I
just now, I'm like, huh uh. Even if someone wants
to fight, I'm like, I don't want to fight with you.
I don't have the energy. Like it's just cause I
like to argue. I like to argue, and then I
like to be right, so I'll argue. But I'm not

(07:40):
even like, no, I don't even want to bring that
into my life. So I feel like half of those
people I don't even know who they are, but I
know it's coming and I know it's going to happen.
I don't know. It makes me a little bit sad,
but I'm like, well, it is what it is. This
is something that unfortunately or fortunately I'm kind of used to.
I wish everyone well and their loss. I'm just kidding.

(08:04):
Imagine I'm just like, Okay, it's your loss. No, But
but I'm I don't know if I necessarily have anything
to say to these people in particular. But it's more
of like peace be with you sort of thing, and
peace be with me, and that's it. Like I'm okay
with it. And it sounds so crazy because back in

(08:26):
the days I'm talking about back in the days, I've
been the type of person to hold on to people
knowing this isn't a good situation for me, this isn't
a good person, but let me hold on because I
think I can change them, because I think I can
convince them. I want their approval. I was a people
pleaser and I would hold onto situations and to people,
even knowing it's not good for me. Done done with that.
I can't do that, Like it's not good for me,

(08:48):
it's not good for them, it's not good for my future.
And with letting people go, the other side of the
token is welcoming new people into my life. You know,
I'm really good with the amount of friends that I have,
but I think maybe catering more to those relationships or yeah,
new people, people that are on the same wavelength, you know,

(09:12):
or on the same frequency, the same journey. I don't know,
Like I keep hearing like this soft girl era, Like
I don't even know what that looks like, Guys, I
don't even know what that really means. I just know
that that's what I keep feeling and hearing in my
soul and in my time of like prayer and stuff.
And I feel like I've been kind of like with
my fists up defence mode, you know, and I don't

(09:34):
want people in my life that make me want to
do that, Like I don't want that anymore. Like my
soul doesn't crave that. I feel like I've been a fighter.
I've been surviving these past so many years, if not
my whole life that now I'm like, I'm ready to
put my hands down and I want to like people
that are gonna bring safety and peace into my life

(09:55):
and where I don't have to feel like I have
to defend myself from you or have to have my
guards up, Like that's kind of what I'm feeling. And yeah,
so yes, I guess I want to make new friendships,
you know, and I want to meet new people, and
I want to take different courses spiritual courses as well.

(10:16):
So maybe I'll meet like new friends there and that
excites me. That definitely is exciting. I had this meeting
in January with two very intelligent women and I won't
tell you guys the details yet about what's like you
know that's to come, you know, because it hasn't it's
not in concrete yet, but it's something that I'm planning.

(10:36):
And it felt really good to have a lunch with
women that were like you were talking about business in
life and all these positive, like just positive conversations and
not necessarily just like cheesement, you know, we're talking bad
about people or anything. You know. Sometimes I'm not gonna lie.
You do that with your friends and we're just like
catching up or whatever. But it felt really nice to
have the conversation with these ladies and we're talking about

(10:59):
goals and helping other women and future plans and passive
income and building generational like wealth all this stuff, and
I was loving it. I'm like, this is what I
want more of. I want to do more of this.
So yeah, all that to say, I'm ready to lose
all the right people that came to me the other
day and I was like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna
like text my producer right now, it's really late, but

(11:21):
here it is, so I don't forget because I want
to talk about this because I think this is going
to kind of set the tone for what's to come.
And I did think it's important to talk about it
because without you guys even knowing, I think that that's
with this twenty twenty five, that's the energy this year.
Whether we like it or not, it's I feel like
it's going to happen. I don't know. I could be wrong,

(11:41):
but I believe in it. So maybe because I believe
in it, I'm welcoming it and it's going to happen
in my life, but doesn't mean it's going to happen
in yours and even you guys. With like social media,
I haven't been sharing a lot on social media since
like the end of last year, and that's been intentional.

(12:05):
I feel like I also needed a little bit of
a break, and whatever I was sharing or talking about
on my socials, it was about what was going on
in the world, like with the fires and the immigration,
you know, situation. It's just things that I'm super passionate about,
and of course I want to share, like whatever it
is that I'm going to be doing like music and
my products and stuff like that, but I also want

(12:28):
to change that, Like I feel we need more love
in the world and more positivity, and little by little
I have faith that people are going to start turning
more to that because, like I've said, and I've shared
with you guys in past episodes, I feel like on
social media, like what gets the most attention is drama

(12:49):
and negative things, and when you post something positive or
something to help someone, like it doesn't get as much
traction or engagement. But I'm also done with like thinking
about that even where it's like okay, whether it gets
engagement or not, Like I want to put out there
good stuff, things that make my soul feel better, but

(13:11):
that are also going to make other people feel better.
And if I lose followers because I'm sharing my honest
opinions and what I believe in and what I'm standing for,
then so be it, goodbye. I'm fine with it. Like
I want all the people that follow me and follow
me in everything that I do to follow me and

(13:32):
love me for who I am and what I represent
and what I believe in. And again even on that
that are on the same wavelength like, hey, we you know,
I just want that I'm not I don't want to
talk about even negative stuff with like my extended family guys.
And I'm going to stay it here on the podcast
because I want to hold myself accountable even with that

(13:55):
guys like I, I don't want it, like even if
they make comments about me or even about my siblings.
And this is very hard for me because even when
it comes to my siblings, I'm like, I want to
defend them, but I no longer want to give that
negativity or not just with extended family, with just anyone
because I'm not trying to single them out at all,
but I don't want to give it attention and I

(14:17):
don't want to give it more fuel, like I don't
want to I just want to press off on the
defense mode. I just want to be me and I
just want to be love and radiate love on socials
and positivity. And I've always been that person, but even
more so, like I need to go back to why
the reason why I'm here, and that might even you know,

(14:42):
make some people like turn away or are going to
be turned off and aren't really gonna like the new me.
And that's okay with me. I'm fine with that. Press
the unfollow button. I'm alright with it. And if you
put a negative comment on my stuff, I'm gonna block you,
Like I'm there, you know, it's I'm just by. Don't
need that in my life. Don't come and like contaminate

(15:05):
my space and the space and the positive and the
lights that I'm trying to share and be like, no,
if you're gonna come and contaminate, no, we're gonna have
our hater spray guys on deck. So yes, that's what
I wanted to talk about. I had it in my heart.
I was like driving with Emilio and it just came
to me, like I was listening to a song and

(15:27):
I'm like, oh my gosh, I think this is happening.
Like there are gonna be people that are going to
be maybe turned off or disappointed with this new change
or whatever the case may be. But all the right
people will be in my space, and those are the
people that I want to love on and I want
them to love on me. So it's all love. It's

(15:47):
all love, guys, Soft Girl Era to the fullest. That
is on like grain one hundred percent. So whoever wants
to be on this journey with me. Let's do it,
and whoever does it if you're not there, it's all
good love and respect one hundred percent. But that is
what twenty twenty five is looking like for for me.

(16:07):
So that is that, and that's what you're going to
be listening to again I said on the first episode,
but that's what you're going to be listening to here
on the podcast as well. Anyways, guys, that felt like
a little, you know, therapy session. But thank you guys
so much for tuning in to today's episode. Today's big
takeaway is don't be afraid to set boundaries, okay, and
don't forget to put yourself first. There's something so beautiful

(16:30):
about that. Guys. Well, I hope you guys have a
a great week and I can't wait to talk to
all of you again on the next episode. Here on
