Thanks for tuning in to the Real Women Chronicles podcast. I am your international certified life coach, T. Audra Taylor. The sole purpose of this podcast is to get you from where you are now to where you want to be.
Yes, it's time to break chains and to get unstuck. Thanks again for joining in. Let's begin. Hello, everyone.
And thank you for joining me for another week of the Real Women Chronicles podcast. It has been a super crazy few weeks for me. So forgive me. I've missed a couple of episodes, but the great thing is I have well over 100 episodes here for you guys to go back and listen to.
But ultimately, I am a one man band. So sometimes it's just not feasible for me to post these podcasts. But of course, always follow me on TikTok, coach.t to tune into the videos that I try to post. I don't post every day on TikTok, but here and there I do make sure that I make time to post just to motivate you all.
That being said, thank you for another week for all of you that may be listening to my podcast, who has experienced some hardship due to the hurricane and the weather issues that we've had across the world, really. My condolences to you. I pray that you and your family will make it through this trying time. I think there's not a lot of news coverage on my end.
Well, I'm not going to say there's not a lot of news coverage, but I can say that I don't particularly watch the news. But I've definitely heard about the devastation that hurricane has caused to those folks in Florida, as well as places like Puerto Rico. My condolences go out to each one of you that have been in direct contact with that hurricane. That being said, this week, I want to go ahead and jump into the podcast.
I want to speak today off the tagline of you are somebody's gift. This was a tagline that I thought about probably a few months ago, and I made sure that I notated it because I think too often we praise other people and we put ourselves down. We place other people on pedestals and we place ourselves on the ground. Too often we esteem the importance of somebody else over ourselves.
We will get into relationships and we will feel as though this person is like the, you know, your moon, your son and your stars, but you forget that you too are somebody's gift. It's a gift to have you as a friend. It's a gift to have you as a lover. It's even a gift for your children, hopefully, to have you as a mother.
And we get so accustomed, especially as women, with putting everybody else before us, that we forget that we're somebody's blessing too. We're somebody's blessing too. We're somebody's everything, whether it's the kids, whether it's your mate, you too, or somebody's blessing. Even if you were single with no kids, you are somebody's gift.
And I'm not saying all women forget this, but many of us do because we're in a society where we're constantly being compared. We constantly are taught that, you know, men are scared, so we have to somehow put them up on a pedestal all while putting ourselves down just to try to keep them, just to be able to say you have a man, just to be able to say you have a husband. I really think we would carry things differently, especially in the dating scene, if we moved off of the logic of understanding that to beat an out presence is a blessing. If you are a loving individual, if you are a loyal individual, if you are one who's constantly there for those that you care about and you have their back and you go to back, you are somebody's blessing.
I might need to take you up to be my friend, okay? Because here's the thing, there are a lot of people out there that are loyal to the people they love. They're constantly there for the people they love, that do things without selfish intent. But see what happens is we allow these temporary people to come into our lives, right?
Say for a temporary season and they somehow manage to force you to believe that you're worth this. They force you to believe that you're invaluable, that your presence means nothing and that their presence in your life should be praised. And that's the part that many, at least many folks that I've conversed with that had that challenge. That's the part they get stuck at because someone came along, it was a temporary person and they force you to believe that you're not a gift and somehow they're the gift.
So now you've gone along, okay? And you force yourself to believe that somehow other people are more valuable than you are. And that is furthest from the truth. Other people value you because you first value yourself.
Other people believe that you are a blessing and a gift because you first believed and walked into that situation as if you were the gift, as if you were the blessing. And that's why I'm here today to motivate each one of you who may have forgot and you need that reminder. You are everything that God wants you to be. At your size, at your skin tone, with your swag, with your voice, with your personality, you are everything to the person or persons that God has assigned for you.
Anything that changes that authentic fabric of who you are should be questioned. And especially if it changes and diminishes you and it makes you feel lower and lower, should be checked. I think and I know personally in my life it's important to be surrounded by those who value your presence, whether it's family, whether it's friends. Because once you know that you're a gift, you operate as such.
And with any special gift that is priceless, you handle it with care and you are that gift that's priceless. So handle it with care. See, that's the thing all you have to do is really believe that you are enough. That's all you have to do is actually believe that you are enough and know that any person, any thought or anything that comes against that very notion is coming from a wrong source.
You're not perfect, but you are enough. Hear that one more time. You are not perfect, but you are enough. You are enough to be someone's blessing.
You have the qualities that it takes to accomplish those goals. You have everything you need inside of you. Stop comparing and contrasting yourself to other people. You may never have what they have, but here's the thing, they can't touch you either.
They'll never have what you have. Remind yourself of that each and every day. Listen guys, that being said, I'm going to wrap this episode up. Feel free to log on to my website if you want to listen to all the 100 plus episodes that I've posted throughout the years.
The website is the RWCpodcast.com. That being said, let's close out and pray your father guide. I thank you for allowing us to come together yet again, another week on this podcast Father God. I pray that each one of those individuals that are listening to this podcast under the sound of my voice that are struggling with knowing their self-worth, with understanding that they are a blessing.
I pray that you show up and show out in their lives, Father God. Help them increase in self-esteem. Help them walk in the authority that only you gave them. And the name of Jesus Christ, we pray.
Amen. Listen y'all until next week. I love y'all. Bye.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
