    What Pours Into You?

    Hellooo babydolls, As we close out February, I want you to reflect-- especially before we go any further into 2025. In this episode, I encourage you to ask yourself what's been filling your cup lately and vice versa, what have you been pouring into? If it's not fulfilling you, it may be time to shift your focus, routine and mindset.  Whatever the case may be for you right now, remember to give yourself grace.  You are loved. You are valuable.

    Open Arms

    HEY, HI, HELLOOOO, Hope you are alllll amazing as ever. It feels SO GOOD to be back and writing to you all. This episode is a pretty lengthy one, so grab some coffee, tea, lemonade, helll, a cocktail, whatever you need to chill the f*ck out. It's your world, I'm just living in it.  Anywayz, as of late, I've been in this funk and had not been feeling very much like myself. Needless to say, I was in need of a break. I finally had some down time this past weekend and decided to keep to myself. I finally found the time to wind down and center myself.  With that being said, I had very deep realizations that my issue was that I had been keeping guards up. I had not been open to change. I felt change coming, and instead of surrendering, I fought really hard against the current. However, life swept me up and I learned that what I needed to do was go with the current, not fight against it. I needed to be open to change, open to new feelings, open to the unknown.  If you've been struggling to let guards down, being honest with yourself, this one's for you. This episode is about openning up. It's a practice. However, when you aren't open, you're closing doors for potential growth. You're hindering your growth. It's time to open up and walk through those doors to welcome what's next to come.  Until next time baby dolls.   XOXO   Ray

    Water Your Flowers

    Hiiiiiiii, baby dolls! I hope you are f*cking amazing, as always! I hope you have been enjoying your summer so far! Lawddddd, I cannot believe how fast time has been going. I know I say this every time, but 2024, plz, slow down!  Anyway, I've worked really hard to make the time to record another episode for this podcast and of course, made sure it was something coming from the heart. Life has a great way of happening when it is supposed to, therefore, giving me some real sh*t to talk about. I'm opening up in this episode, it is a continuance from the last episode. This episode reminds you that when one door closes, it's redirecting you to a new one. Take the time you need to open it, but please give yourself comfort in knowing it is opening your path for where you are meant to be. Often times, we get so busy planting seeds all around us, and we forget the flowers we have already grown. With that said, it's time to refocus and water them. It's reminding you that there are no failures, only lessons. Give yourself grace and know that you are are being led by your angels to where you are truly meant to be.  I hope you enjoy this episode and until the next one, I love you!   XOXO,   Ray

Seriously though, time is flyin.  With that being said, I hope that you are in a great place in life. If you aren't or feeling some sort of discouragement due to your personal challenges, tests and trials, this episode is for you. I'm sending some love and light your way and letting you know that I do not want you to give up. Whatever the case may be, keep on going. Whatever is meant for you will be, so let it. Try not to resist and follow peace the whole way through.  I hope you enjoy this episode as it's pretty much just a lil positive rant for you. Until next time babies   LATERZ,    Rayleane :) :*

    Moment by Moment

    Hellooooo my loves I hope you had a great week and beautiful weekend! It felt like California experienced all four seasons this week :)))). Hope yall had some consistency with your weather where ever you may be! As for us Cali peeps, take your damn vitamins because weather change like this is crazy for our health.  Anyway! This episode dives into the thought to take life moment by moment. I share my thoughts on how healthy it is for me to think of taking life's challenges moment by moment rather than day by day.

    Trials & Tribulations

    Hellooooooo, my babies!   HI, HELLO, WELCOME BACK! I am so thrilled to be postin again. I know it has only been a week and I missed one episode, BUT, I missed it so much. I was slammed last week, getting things done & it made the week go that much faster! I'm human too, y'all, so I had to take a mini break. During that time, I came up with multiple ideas for the next couple of episodes, so there's that ;). Told ya I will not record unless I have messages coming from my heart, and well, it's exploding.  In today's episode, I talk about trials and tribulations which are the daily challenges that test our character. I encourage you to remain your highest self when you are being tested. Trust me, I know it's a challenge. However, maintaining your character during these tests will play a huge part in your manifestation era.  I just have to let you know, as much as I have practiced growth mindset, I am still tested on a daily. Here's something crazy. Just after I had recorded this episode, I was on my way out and low & behold, as I approached my car, I realized I had a parking ticket. :))))) Did it feel good to get a parking ticket? NO. It was bills week, so of course it did not feel good. Did I let that ticket ruin my whole entire day? NO. Know why? Because this too, shall pass. It will be taken care of in time. I counted my blessings and I ended up having a beautiful day. Remember your blessings during your personal trials and tribulations.  I hope you enjoy this episode and until next time, beautiful souls.  XOXO,   Raaaay :)

    When There's Room for Growth

    Hellooooo sweet babies Happy Saturday! I just want to share how GRATEFUL I am for every listener. I am celebrating 423 downloads of My Advice to You episodes!! It amazes me every time I surpass another 100 downloads because that means that these messages are being shared with you beautiful souls.  This week's episode is about the feelings that come when we realize there is room for growth. Specifically when we notice there is room for growth after just accomplishing a goal or becoming the closest to accomplishing one goal. When we realize how close we really are to getting to where we want to be, we often notice that there's even more room to grow at the level we waited so long to get to. THIS IS OKAY.  Every level you excel is meant to take you further because we are constantly growing towards something new that we are meant for, as long as we give ourselves grace on the way there. This is a reminder to ENJOY exactly where you are in the current moment you are in. It is also a reminder to congratulate yourself on the journey you are in, because you are not where you used to be, and that in itself is something to celebrate.  This is a quick episode diving into more of what I just shared with you all. I hope you enjoy and as always, feel free to follow My Advice to You on Instagram, @mad222you_ .    With all my love,   Rayleane

    Following Peace with Bianey Mercado

    Hello, beauties!  Happy New Year! Basically. Excuse me for being a few hours late on posting this episode, but better late than never ;). As we conclude 2023, I thought it'd be best to end the first season with one of the best lessons I have learned this year, which is to follow peace.  I have learned that following peace is a practice. It is a choice we make as we go through our day. There are plenty of situations we go through on a daily basis where we are given the magical choice of choosing peace or doing the complete opposite and following chaos. This is a practice because regardless of how hard we try, we are only human. I say this is a practice and I remind you that we are only human, because I myself, too, battle with making the right decision of knowing when and how to choose peace.  Enjoy this episode as my best friend Bianey gives her advice on how she follows peace. Bianey was one of the first of my favorite humans to share advice on how following peace is key in navigating through trying times.  As you conclude your year, I encourage you to share your favorite lessons of the year with those you love, even strangers. Life is such a gift and we can learn so much from each other if we will allow it. I hope you end your year celebrating where life has taken you. I want to remind you that there are better times to come. I want you to know that regardless of where you are in life, you are where you are meant to be. I want you to know that circumstances change constantly and life moves at Godspeed. I hope you spend your time following peace, because where there is peace, there is love. Again, no matter where you are in life at this moment, if you are here about to enter 2024, you are blessed. There's time ahead of you and I pray you spend it where you are happiest.  I will be continuing My Advice to You as soon as I have more episodes ready to release to you. I hope within the next two weeks, as I will be enjoying entering the new year with a clean slate, celebrating the year I've had and made it through. In that time, I will be coming up with new ideas for the next season and making sure it's coming from my heart. Of course, I'll post updates on @mad222you_ on Instagram. Please be safe as you celebrate the end of your year, you made it! Let's go 2024!! Kobe Year!!   Best of my love,   Ray   SIDE NOTE: *Ahem* I made a mistake referencing the bible verses! I mixed up the verses, but please do see the corrections below from New King James Version bible Bianey mentioned: Phillipians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." NKJV  Ray meant to mention...: 2 Corinthians 5:21 "I am the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ."
