- 2:25Speaker 1: You don't guess that person? You're absolutely correct by It
- 2:28Speaker 1: is pretty accelective. And people often wonder how the journey
- 2:32Speaker 1: brought me here, the things that I'm doing now that
- 2:34Speaker 1: I'm passionate about it that I love, which is related
- 2:38Speaker 1: to strengthening the inner court. And I tell you, I
- 2:41Speaker 1: didn't realize that you will alumni to the university. Man,
- 2:45Speaker 1: well so we are cougars. Yes, man, we are true curous.
- 2:49Speaker 1: You're tiger and the cougar at all about that? You
- 2:55Speaker 1: just you look at you are the movie Avn't talk.
- 2:58Speaker 1: That's you. You got all the still the jungle out there,
- 3:01Speaker 1: the Big five, the Big the Big five, as they say,
- 3:04Speaker 1: when I appreciate you having me a thanks you so
- 3:08Speaker 1: much for the invitation, I'm glad to be here. Well,
- 3:10Speaker 1: first of all, you know, I'm glad to have you
- 3:12Speaker 1: on the show. And I want to talk about that education.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Might always talk about I changed my major several times
- 3:19Speaker 1: before I eventually got a degree of mathematics and my
- 3:21Speaker 1: minor and sociology. And you know, not saying that you
- 3:25Speaker 1: change your degree, but I always like to see people
- 3:28Speaker 1: who allow themselves to expand allow themselves to say, not
- 3:32Speaker 1: be pigeonholed. And I looked at your degree in social work,
- 3:35Speaker 1: you know, public health, uh, chemistry. That diversity really allows
- 3:40Speaker 1: you to communicate a lot of different levels and to
- 3:42Speaker 1: be able to walk into the room and be very
- 3:44Speaker 1: comfortable when you speak. God this correct, that is correct.
- 3:48Speaker 1: And I tell you I was really um. I was
- 3:51Speaker 1: just that obedient child. And you know when my dad
- 3:54Speaker 1: said that needs to go to text or stuffing and
- 3:56Speaker 1: major and chemistry, and that's what I did. And I
- 4:01Speaker 1: did that and I enjoyed that until I had an
- 4:03Speaker 1: opportunity to work with the Department of Energy one summer
- 4:06Speaker 1: for an internship or summer internship, and we were doing
- 4:10Speaker 1: auto clays, you know, it was Colic profession research and
- 4:14Speaker 1: we were working with auto Clays, and I was just
- 4:17Speaker 1: in the process and I was like saying to myself,
- 4:19Speaker 1: I just can't imagine working in a lab like this,
- 4:23Speaker 1: you know, for the rest of my life. I want
- 4:25Speaker 1: to have healthy babies. I'm not sure this is really
- 4:28Speaker 1: a good fit for me. But I was always that
- 4:30Speaker 1: obedient child. I said, you know, I've come too far
- 4:34Speaker 1: not to go on a spenders you get the degree
- 4:36Speaker 1: for I went on and I got the degree, and
- 4:38Speaker 1: I went into UM the master's program here in the
- 4:41Speaker 1: Health Frankston in in Houston at the University of Texas.
- 4:44Speaker 1: And when I saw that they were having initially in
- 4:46Speaker 1: toxicology that when I saw they were having so much
- 4:49Speaker 1: fun and and family and community health, I was like,
- 4:52Speaker 1: you know what, Sean, that's where I need to be
- 4:55Speaker 1: because I just spent my personality. I always spend a compelled, smiting,
- 5:00Speaker 1: empathetic type of person And so that's when I started
- 5:04Speaker 1: navigating myself towards in a direction that I was really
- 5:08Speaker 1: comfortable with. And so from there UM I just kind
- 5:12Speaker 1: of blocked them and and had the opportunity to go
- 5:14Speaker 1: on and get my doctors and social work, which was
- 5:17Speaker 1: which ex phenomenal, and from it and now I am
- 5:20Speaker 1: just doing what I chose and to do, and and
- 5:24Speaker 1: I just I think it's a great, incredible journey. And
- 5:26Speaker 1: I would encourage people, you know what, no matter what
- 5:29Speaker 1: you're doing, it's not what you really want to do,
- 5:31Speaker 1: you can always navigate yourself and move towards the directions
- 5:35Speaker 1: that most makes you laugh. You doctor, doctor, Um, don't
- 5:40Speaker 1: give your credit now, don't we just laying out? It
- 5:42Speaker 1: gives a lot of docs out there? There aren't doctors,
- 5:44Speaker 1: you know, So I'm just gonna say the whole word doctor.
- 5:47Speaker 1: How do I just want to navigate that? How does
- 5:49Speaker 1: want to make a decision to create change in their life,
- 5:53Speaker 1: especially when they just sit around based on fear, because
- 5:56Speaker 1: that's why people don't make change, they're afraid. How does
- 5:58Speaker 1: want to navigate that change? Well, you know, the first
- 6:02Speaker 1: thing they have to do in that process. And I've
- 6:05Speaker 1: been refer to it as understanding the journey that we're
- 6:09Speaker 1: actually on. And that's how the in the spirit part
- 6:12Speaker 1: comes into play with um, what I do and what
- 6:16Speaker 1: I focus on and help, you know, God people into
- 6:18Speaker 1: that direction in terms of navigation. And I think that
- 6:21Speaker 1: people understand that they have the power us who we
- 6:26Speaker 1: could choose the mission that they want to have in
- 6:29Speaker 1: this life. Then the first step is the first identify
- 6:33Speaker 1: and understand that you have that power. I think a
- 6:36Speaker 1: lot of times people feel powerless in this process. So
- 6:40Speaker 1: you have to kind of break it down and I
- 6:42Speaker 1: always say you try to have to deconstruct to reconstruct
- 6:46Speaker 1: your life. And when you know with themselves that you
- 6:49Speaker 1: know you are just not content with what the outcome
- 6:54Speaker 1: is and and on the direction that things are going,
- 6:57Speaker 1: that's the first step is to identify that you know
- 7:00Speaker 1: that within something. Then you have to figure out what
- 7:02Speaker 1: it is you want to do. You know, what is
- 7:05Speaker 1: the mission that you want to be on, and develop
- 7:08Speaker 1: an action plan to achieve that, to to get on
- 7:12Speaker 1: the right track, to to live the life of your dreams,
- 7:15Speaker 1: and to do the things that you want. Let's Michelle,
- 7:17Speaker 1: let me give you an example of what it is
- 7:19Speaker 1: that I do so so wizards can understand how this
- 7:23Speaker 1: process works. And this is a good analogy. Let's say
- 7:26Speaker 1: you're drinking a cup of coffee and somebody bumped into
- 7:30Speaker 1: you and you still the coffee. Okay, you still the coffee.
- 7:34Speaker 1: You know why you fill the coffee because coffee is
- 7:37Speaker 1: what was in the cup, it seem within the cup,
- 7:40Speaker 1: you wouldn't still the tea. And so the analogy that
- 7:44Speaker 1: I'm making is is what's inside of you when you
- 7:48Speaker 1: get bumped in, like when you are unsure, and like
- 7:51Speaker 1: when things are happening to you, what's inside of you,
- 7:55Speaker 1: It's what comes up. And so as an industry a
- 7:58Speaker 1: life coach, and when I focus on the foods of
- 8:00Speaker 1: the spirit, when I focus on instructening that inside of
- 8:03Speaker 1: a person, that's how they get out of their fear
- 8:06Speaker 1: and they're able to make the tangible step to do
- 8:09Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Because what comes what's inside of
- 8:13Speaker 1: you is what comes out. So if there's inside of
- 8:17Speaker 1: you that comes out of angers inside it, when light functions,
- 8:20Speaker 1: when things happen, that's what comes out. Its rage and
- 8:24Speaker 1: it jealousy of resentment. But if I can get people
- 8:28Speaker 1: to strengthen the other things that should be inside of
- 8:32Speaker 1: their court, which is love through a peace, patience, kindness, business, slothfulness,
- 8:39Speaker 1: the most important self control, then they have the ability
- 8:44Speaker 1: to do what you're saying, to turn it around. And
- 8:47Speaker 1: that's and that's kind of what I focused on. Well,
- 8:49Speaker 1: you have to keep focusing on that because of the
- 8:51Speaker 1: fact that you know, when you have people, I'll just
- 8:54Speaker 1: tell you I'm an example of an individual. Well, people
- 8:57Speaker 1: look at my resume, they see success. I'm always always
- 9:00Speaker 1: tell people I'm constantly pushing myself. I constantly get up
- 9:04Speaker 1: with a plan. You just can't assume that success is
- 9:06Speaker 1: gonna come away, and you can't assume that the plan
- 9:09Speaker 1: you're having, you're in place, it's gonna happen. And that's
- 9:11Speaker 1: where so many people fail. They just assume and they
- 9:14Speaker 1: get frustrated when they put things in motion, like they say,
- 9:17Speaker 1: I'm gonna open a business, they expect people just gonna
- 9:19Speaker 1: show up, and by their merchandise marketing, they get frustrated
- 9:23Speaker 1: by that process. When could I just stopped marketing when
- 9:25Speaker 1: they're gonna show up. I got the best I got
- 9:27Speaker 1: the best apple turnover in the world. Why aren't people
- 9:31Speaker 1: by I got the best barbecue in the world. It's
- 9:33Speaker 1: that frustration and that planning, and that's why I wanted
- 9:35Speaker 1: to bring it on the show, just to talk about that.
- 9:37Speaker 1: We're gonna go in more details in the next break.
- 9:39Speaker 1: But I'm on the phone with She's you know, she's
- 9:42Speaker 1: a graduatd My School University Houston UM. Since the Thinguish
- 9:46Speaker 1: alumni at Texas out University. That means that she's tied
- 9:49Speaker 1: into Houston. I'm from fifth War. You know, she grew
- 9:53Speaker 1: up in their third Ward area and he told her
- 9:55Speaker 1: to go to school. The one day she welcome and says,
- 9:57Speaker 1: I'm gonna do something different. We're gonna be back with
- 9:59Speaker 1: more money make conversation. Ra Sean McDonald talking to Dr
- 10:02Speaker 1: Melanie Wilson. Hi, just Rashan McDonald. You're listening to money
- 10:07Speaker 1: making conversations on the phone. Is Dr Melanie Wilson Lawson UM.
- 10:11Speaker 1: She's UM an incredible person, eclectic because she has a
- 10:16Speaker 1: a PhD and social work from the University Houston, UM
- 10:20Speaker 1: public health from University of Texas Health Science Center, School
- 10:24Speaker 1: of Public Health. And UH her dad she had a degree.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Her dad to go to Texas Southern get this degree.
- 10:29Speaker 1: And then she realized that she didn't want to sit
- 10:31Speaker 1: in the lab. And I think that's the point of
- 10:33Speaker 1: this conversation. There's so many people sitting in that lab
- 10:36Speaker 1: right now. Dr Lawson. I want to leave that lab
- 10:40Speaker 1: and afraid to leave that lab, afraid to walk away
- 10:43Speaker 1: from that teller job, afraid to stop driving that car,
- 10:46Speaker 1: afraid to make it that to make the decision that
- 10:49Speaker 1: they fear will be disrupted, but they're already already living
- 10:53Speaker 1: the life. They're not happy with that change. That change
- 10:56Speaker 1: is important. That's like, how can you plans meant words
- 11:01Speaker 1: into being and doing you know, don't talk about it,
- 11:04Speaker 1: be about it. How do you make that transition? And
- 11:07Speaker 1: then I would argue that opportunities like this, listening to
- 11:11Speaker 1: shows like this, when you hear people share their stories,
- 11:14Speaker 1: that helps to provide a type of blueprint, you know,
- 11:18Speaker 1: where people can follow it. And if they follow the
- 11:21Speaker 1: blue blueprint, you know, you don't have to read with
- 11:23Speaker 1: them to reel with a lot of this stuff. Just
- 11:25Speaker 1: look at out the people situations in their circumstances and
- 11:29Speaker 1: sharing people's stories. That's so beneficial because you can learn
- 11:34Speaker 1: from it. You can learn what to do, what not
- 11:36Speaker 1: to do, and seven how to do it. Talk about
- 11:40Speaker 1: the ABC s. There your ABC. Your version of ABC's okay,
- 11:45Speaker 1: so well a B C D no, no, no, your
- 11:48Speaker 1: version of ABC. But my first for ABC S, you know,
- 11:52Speaker 1: it's Doc Sail. I try to focus on a B
- 11:55Speaker 1: and anteceeding be being the behavior and see being the
- 11:59Speaker 1: time of senses related to the psycho social dynamics of people.
- 12:05Speaker 1: And so when you look at a person, you've got
- 12:07Speaker 1: to consider the A d C and the antecedent are
- 12:11Speaker 1: the things that lead or that lead to the behaviors
- 12:15Speaker 1: that people engage in. So, because some people were sean,
- 12:19Speaker 1: it could be traumas that they may have experienced in
- 12:22Speaker 1: their lives early on. Um, some of the things that
- 12:25Speaker 1: they may have witness um may have heard in their childhood.
- 12:30Speaker 1: You know, when you speak to children, it can resonate deeply.
- 12:36Speaker 1: You know, when you tell a child that they're gonna
- 12:38Speaker 1: be nothing, or that they're lazy, or that they're stupid,
- 12:41Speaker 1: or you say these things that that can resonate into
- 12:46Speaker 1: a person and as they grow up start to see
- 12:50Speaker 1: behaviors manners us based on what they think are done
- 12:54Speaker 1: for and so that introcedent, those are the things that
- 12:59Speaker 1: lead to the behaviors. And so when you're looking at
- 13:03Speaker 1: people that are engaged in a lot of mal adaptive
- 13:06Speaker 1: type of phases, then there's something going on with their
- 13:10Speaker 1: feelings and that in their emotions about themselves. How a
- 13:13Speaker 1: person feels about themselves matters, because they they don't feel
- 13:17Speaker 1: good about themselves, then that can be distrusted and we
- 13:21Speaker 1: can see it in destructive behaviors. And so the behaviors
- 13:24Speaker 1: that people engage in are related to the choices that
- 13:28Speaker 1: they make. From those choices, people are going in consequences.
- 13:32Speaker 1: And so if you don't like where you are in life,
- 13:36Speaker 1: if you don't like the consequences that you that you're
- 13:39Speaker 1: seeing now in life, and you just got to make
- 13:42Speaker 1: better choices, you know, you've got to address the behaviors
- 13:45Speaker 1: that are causing those kinds of consequences. And I help
- 13:49Speaker 1: people walk through the process. I helped them peel back
- 13:52Speaker 1: the layers which on because that they can begin the
- 13:55Speaker 1: healing process. I like you know, I like you because
- 13:58Speaker 1: when you say my name is like you like grabbing
- 14:01Speaker 1: my own like an adult. You know, like you know
- 14:03Speaker 1: you're talking to the young person. You you brace them.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Every time you say my name, You're bracing me. Rashan,
- 14:09Speaker 1: You're like you touching, you know, touching me on the show. Rashan,
- 14:12Speaker 1: calm down. It's like there your doctor. I can tell it.
- 14:15Speaker 1: You know, I got just on your tone now every
- 14:17Speaker 1: those every time you say my favor shot, it calms
- 14:20Speaker 1: me down. It makes me just I know, you do.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I know I'm feeling every time, she says, it's so well, Rashan, Listen,
- 14:28Speaker 1: you know that sometimes you've gotta let th be before
- 14:33Speaker 1: you can let things go. And that means you've gotta
- 14:37Speaker 1: truly feel what you're doing and what you're going through.
- 14:41Speaker 1: How many kind of people tell people, you know, you
- 14:43Speaker 1: just need to let that go. You don't need to
- 14:46Speaker 1: let it go, but sometimes you gotta let it flow first.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You gotta go through the plain, you gotta go through
- 14:53Speaker 1: the anguish. That's what you'd bequest to do that the
- 14:56Speaker 1: body is requis to go through the very emotion. It
- 15:04Speaker 1: really is true, because you can't protect your child. You know,
- 15:07Speaker 1: your child is gonna have that bad relationship. Your child's
- 15:09Speaker 1: gonna have circumstances and you wish they didn't. You wish
- 15:13Speaker 1: they didn't have the emotional stress that your life. But
- 15:16Speaker 1: guess what that shapes them. They shapes them. They prepared
- 15:19Speaker 1: to because otherwise they fall into that mistake. And I'd
- 15:22Speaker 1: rather for you to make a small mistake than a
- 15:25Speaker 1: big mistake. And that's and that's what happens in life,
- 15:28Speaker 1: is that you cannot protect anybody's the point that they
- 15:32Speaker 1: can't experience life. You gotta allow them experience life, but
- 15:35Speaker 1: while they're experience in life is that's that's the part
- 15:37Speaker 1: that you know. I really have enjoying this conversation because
- 15:41Speaker 1: you know, it's what you your social scientists and your
- 15:44Speaker 1: inner spirit life coach, which I think is really important
- 15:47Speaker 1: to hear on this show because people want to make change.
- 15:50Speaker 1: That's why I love the fact that that that millennial
- 15:53Speaker 1: generation decided to say, you know something, I don't want
- 15:56Speaker 1: to work for anybody. I want to work for me.
- 15:57Speaker 1: And they get ridiculed because said that I was listening
- 16:00Speaker 1: to a show driving in this morning was really cueing, Um,
- 16:04Speaker 1: you know, millennials, because they don't save. I was trying
- 16:06Speaker 1: to figure out, Okay, when I was twenty eight, what
- 16:08Speaker 1: was I saving? When I was thirty four, what was
- 16:10Speaker 1: I saving? I'm trying to figure out when when did
- 16:14Speaker 1: the rules? When did the rules that that that that
- 16:16Speaker 1: that eighteen to thirty or four age group, and each
- 16:18Speaker 1: each generation was saving money, they were that they were
- 16:21Speaker 1: that worthy to stay. You know something, I'm gonna save
- 16:23Speaker 1: for my future. You know something, when you're that age,
- 16:26Speaker 1: there is no future. The future is now. Why can
- 16:28Speaker 1: I get my car? Where can I get my house?
- 16:31Speaker 1: Where can I give me some new shoes. And so
- 16:33Speaker 1: when I hear people criticize millennials, I'm going like, Okay,
- 16:36Speaker 1: are you kiding me? Are you kidding me? At twenty
- 16:38Speaker 1: nine years old, who do you know was saving money?
- 16:41Speaker 1: Who was thinking about that the stock market at twenty
- 16:43Speaker 1: nine years of age on a regular job, you know,
- 16:45Speaker 1: if your your company was like I worked at IBM
- 16:49Speaker 1: and they they had that little sharing program. You you
- 16:52Speaker 1: pay a dollar, they pay a dollar, you know, and
- 16:54Speaker 1: that that helped me out, that got me into that
- 16:56Speaker 1: into the stock game. But again that was my company
- 17:00Speaker 1: had that program at that time. And I'm not saying
- 17:02Speaker 1: that in program exists today because people hold you accountable
- 17:05Speaker 1: everything you said in public. Sean said this, hey way
- 17:09Speaker 1: back then, way back then when I was working. Now,
- 17:11Speaker 1: they might not do that right now, So don't hold
- 17:13Speaker 1: me account But I'm just letting you know is that
- 17:15Speaker 1: when I look at people criticized, there's so many people
- 17:17Speaker 1: want to criticize people when they want to be themselves,
- 17:20Speaker 1: when they want to make decisions for themselves that benefit them,
- 17:25Speaker 1: that they get criticized for that. And I just feel
- 17:27Speaker 1: that that generation is being pressurized, especially with social media.
- 17:32Speaker 1: You post the picture, you like you don't like share,
- 17:37Speaker 1: you know, I remember I did. I posted one of
- 17:39Speaker 1: my videos and somebody told me, you know I look gay? Huh,
- 17:44Speaker 1: I don't know, how do you look at I was
- 17:47Speaker 1: my interviews just say I look gay? And then other
- 17:48Speaker 1: person you bear too dark? Your beer too dark? Okay?
- 17:52Speaker 1: What the heck is this? What these are the criticist
- 17:55Speaker 1: that you get in social media, and so you have
- 17:57Speaker 1: to deal with these issues about okay, if you if
- 18:00Speaker 1: you take that personal, then you could be walking down
- 18:02Speaker 1: the street trying to walk in a certain way. Well,
- 18:04Speaker 1: people talking about our walk. I don't know what that means.
- 18:07Speaker 1: You know, you know what my beer too do? I
- 18:09Speaker 1: gotta change their look, you know. But people can get
- 18:11Speaker 1: it to your heads with these with these negative statements,
- 18:15Speaker 1: and they could change your your objectives, your plans. And
- 18:19Speaker 1: so it's good to listen to young people when they
- 18:22Speaker 1: when they unsure, just calm them down and say, what's
- 18:25Speaker 1: your what's your problem? Don't don't don't ignore that, ignore
- 18:28Speaker 1: that ignorant people are talking. The ignorant people know the
- 18:32Speaker 1: other thing. Resign you know the other thing. They'll be
- 18:34Speaker 1: reshigned if they will can't to suppress or ignore who
- 18:40Speaker 1: they really are to will this nas for society, for
- 18:44Speaker 1: their parents, for their files, for for for all these
- 18:48Speaker 1: other things. They were this nas and they really suppressed
- 18:52Speaker 1: who they really are because of judgment, because of what
- 18:56Speaker 1: they feel other people may think or say about them.
- 18:59Speaker 1: And so what you have up to society of people
- 19:01Speaker 1: who can't be real, can't be real real, it's not accepted.
- 19:07Speaker 1: And so that's why people find themselves from the situations
- 19:10Speaker 1: that they're in because they're not authentic. They're not living
- 19:14Speaker 1: an authentic life. And that's why we do what we do.
