0.689 - 8.491 Chris Renee Hazlett

Coming up on Keep It Positive, Sweetie. What got you to the point where you were like, you know what B, I'm about to just put it all out there.

8.831 - 31.899 B. Simone

I've always been like that, but I think subconsciously it was also a protection because nobody can say anything about me that I haven't already said about myself. You know she was on Ozempic. You know, she had an abortion. You already said it. Like, yeah, this is me. You know, I not having the facade and not being real. That is like the biggest fear of mine.

0

31.939 - 39.942 B. Simone

Like somebody finding out I'm fake or phony or a lie. Like that is like a fear. Like, no, this is me. I am real. This is what comes with it.

Now, it only took six seasons to get her here, but we're gonna have some good girl talk about any and everything like we always do. She does so many things well, and she means so much to so many people, including me. She's an actress, comedian, entrepreneur, and a great friend. I finally got her here, y'all. I am so excited. My friend, my sister, B. Simone. Thank you, sis.

112.653 - 120.718 Chris Renee Hazlett

Thank you for pulling up. And we finally got her here, guys. Finally. You've been on the road with me. You've been everywhere with me. Everywhere.

120.738 - 129.423 B. Simone

You made yourself comfortable. I had to. I know y'all keep it classy and keep it positive, sweetie. But I had to bring the Be Simone energy. And I took the cover, took my shoes off, and I'm here, sis.

129.483 - 131.405 Chris Renee Hazlett

We wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you.

131.505 - 132.905 B. Simone

Thank you for having me.

Chapter 2: How does B. Simone define resilience?

1658.408 - 1659.248 Chris Renee Hazlett

That's who you are.

1659.589 - 1662.97 B. Simone

But it wasn't wise. It wasn't wise.

1662.99 - 1664.671 Chris Renee Hazlett

And that's in the space that you were in.

1664.691 - 1686.181 B. Simone

Not even the space I was in. She couldn't keep it up. She was stressed. I walked in the house. It was flies and gnats and food. Oh, I just came in the house and I started crying. You know, but we worked our way up to that. You know, I had a realtor help me and I talked to her and I tried to get her housing and I tried to get her a job. Wow. We were working our way up to it.

1686.221 - 1704.359 B. Simone

I just didn't buy a stranger a house. And it was an investment property. So I was like, if anything, I could sell it and it's still an investment for me, right? But I said all that to say, I didn't pray about that. I just saw somebody in need. It was off impulse. Like, you can't be on the street with your five kids. You know, so I built a relationship with her. But she...

1705.62 - 1713.147 B. Simone

It don't matter what you do for people if their mind doesn't change. She still thought she was on the street even though she was in a house.

1713.467 - 1715.109 Chris Renee Hazlett

So it's more than just putting her in a house.

1715.129 - 1736.408 B. Simone

It's more than just putting her in a house. It's giving her the resources to keep it up, the resources to pay the rent, the resources to mentally grow. So she was in the house, but her mind was still in the streets. Helping people that God calls you to and the way he calls you to do it, not just impulsively giving. So I'm learning that in this season with my businesses, too.

1736.929 - 1753.516 B. Simone

You know, I'm getting better. I'll be looking over everything. I'm like, yes, back in the days. Oh, that's five grand. Oh, give it. No. Okay, break it down what I'm paying for. Why is it five grand? Well, this person is three grand. Why are you five? Let's break it down and talk about it before I just swipe my card.

Chapter 3: Why is transparency important in relationships?

2847.178 - 2856.484 Chris Renee Hazlett

Like, seriously, the way you push me and I remember when I was first doing this and I was like, yeah, I'm going to do a podcast. And so I'm like, okay, yeah, that's good. What's what's up? You were like, let me know.

2856.504 - 2867.772 Chris Renee Hazlett

Like if you need like camera people or where to get equipment or if you need me to help you like that, if you already had your own pockets, I was like, this girl is like, you're just a unicorn. I just love you. I love you too.

2867.832 - 2883.724 B. Simone

I'm so proud of this. I can, I see it. I'm like literally seeing it. You're going to be on, this is going to be a show. TV, like daytime talk. I see it. Red carpets, everything. Everything you've been manifesting, it's going to happen. It's coming. You're already in it. You just got to keep walking towards it. Keep walking towards it. It's already there.

2883.904 - 2898.216 Chris Renee Hazlett

Yeah. I feel it. I feel it. God is really moving, and I'm just excited. I'm telling you, when I saw this space, I was excited. My God. tears. I was like, I literally, Siri was in the middle of like going, okay, this is what we're doing. I was just like, I know.

2898.236 - 2918.228 B. Simone

Cause it's like, it's all coming together and all the losses you took, even the people that the opportunities, whatever doors were shut, you realize why God allowed it to happen for this very moment. And I just have one request. I just want to ask you one thing. Yes. When you get married, please let me be the flower girl. Crystal. I just want to,
