00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.080
Now we already know we say this all the time as mothers.
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:04.080
The ones that hurt your feelings are the ones that's supposed to be.
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:07.519
You care about them.
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:08.480
You care about them.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:13.599
You know they care about you, but the people that are not important in your life, there's not a lot you can think of me.
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:14.960
There's not a lot you can say to me.
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.480
And my circle is so small, it's not a lot of people that can hurt my feelings.
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.519
It's not that I you know, a lot of times people think I'm so bulletproof.
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:25.120
No, I just you're not important enough to hurt my feelings.
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.079
That's that 50 and attitude.
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:28.960
It is real.
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:30.239
It is real.
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:33.840
You get to a stage you don't care about what I don't care what people think about me.
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:36.399
I don't care what you say.
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:44.320
And honestly, if if you don't have nothing to do with the queendom and pay no bills in the house and whatever, your opinion is not up.
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:45.840

And we are here spilling the tea on Midlife.
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.359
One laugh at a time.
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:28.480
Hey, lady.
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:31.519
You sound so refreshing.
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:33.280
Like, hey, lady.
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.480
We haven't been together in what since a minute.
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:37.040
June.
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.719
Yeah, since it's no, because we were in Jamaica in June.
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:43.280
Okay.
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:43.599
Oh.
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.799
Yeah, we haven't been together in a long time.
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.519
Well, I want y'all to know that I have had people that reach out and wonder when we were coming back.
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:52.959
If we were coming back.
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.879
Wait, what happened to the episode?
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:57.680
It's called busy.
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:58.480
It's called life.
00:01:58.719 --> 00:01:59.439
Especially summer.
00:01:59.680 --> 00:01:59.920
Summer.
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:00.879
It's called life.
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:02.959
We've been extremely busy.
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.519
Um, because everybody's businesswomen.
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:06.480
Yep.
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:06.879
Right.
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:07.200
Right?
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.919
Everybody business women, and we just had stuff happening.
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:10.479
Oh, nice.
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:11.280
Life is life.
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:12.080
And everything.
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.000
Some of us have relationships.
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:16.639
Look, we know who that is.
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:17.360
Look at the grin.
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:20.240
Some of us.
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:21.360
Look at the grin.
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:22.240
Look at the grin.
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.960
Some of us had been nursing all summer.
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:25.759
I was.
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:27.280
I enjoyed it.
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.520
Some of us was breaking up with motherfuckers.
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:30.080
Okay.
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:32.719
We're having a good time too, though.
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:35.120
Lord.
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:44.560
Well, I just wanted us to come together on kind of just an impromptu, fun episode of just kind of recapping our lives, what's going on, reintroducing ourselves.
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.680
Um, we had a good little momentum for our first season.
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:50.080
Yes.
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.159
You know, our first season.
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.800
So let's let's um keep it going.
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:56.000
Yeah, keep it going.
00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:00.960
Well, for those of you that don't know me or that is new to Timeless and Unfiltered, I am Legra.
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:03.680
Um I'm 55, probably.
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:04.960
55 in fact.
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:06.159
55.
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.120
Y'all may have noticed I got some, I had my summer hair on.
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:09.599
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:11.840
Okay, okay.
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:13.759
You know, I got about 10,000 wigs back there.
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.240
Oh, my little, my little my tendril.
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:16.800
Is that what it is?
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:18.080
I don't know what it's a tendril.
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:18.319
Okay.
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:19.360
I call it a curl.
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:20.560
Put a curl in the front.
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:23.280
My little tendril.
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.319
And um, what's what's who what's a little bit about me?
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:27.840
Um, business owner.
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:33.199
I got too many businesses, just to be honest.
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:36.400
I gotta focus.
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:37.680
You got a lot.
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:39.759
You do uh you do.
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:40.879
I do.
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:46.719
I'm I'm a serial entrepreneur, I hate to say that, but I also um I don't know.
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.199
I have this thing about picking stuff up all the time.
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:50.639
Like, I'm okay.
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.479
This was my revelation for summer.
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.039
I'm going to stop trying to save everybody.
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:56.639
Ben told you that.
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:56.879
Yeah.
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:57.599
I know.
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:08.879
And I know I've I've said I was gonna do it, but now to see things on paper, to see how it affects me physically, I was really drained this summer.
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:18.720
But I think it, but it I I take responsibility for because I was pulled in so many different directions and doing so many different things that it's like Legory, you can't you can't do that.
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.360
You you you gotta protect you first and you gotta look out for you first.
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.319
So I'm I'm going into my selfish stage.
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:28.240
I say that was hard to get too.
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:38.639
But I think it's maybe all should because I'm tired of people saying little snigh comments, and I never really say anything back because I try to avoid the confrontation, but I'm gonna start giving it back to people.
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.040
Well, you you're you're newly in your 50s.
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:44.480
Start giving it right back.
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:46.639
You're newly in your 50s.
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.680
It's gonna be a second nature, it's gonna be second nature to you in a minute.
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:50.480
It's gonna come out.
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.120
I don't even want to be that person, but I'm just sick of people.
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.879
Trying to be like building up.
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:58.079
Yeah, she's sick though.
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:04.399
It actually is sick if you hold it in and you just try to avoid co you know, conflict sometimes.
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:06.319
Yeah, because then I'll break out in a high.
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:06.560
Yeah.
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.800
And then it'll manifest through, yeah.
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.399
When I'm stressed and just go, oh it'll it'll come out.
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.439
So that's I'm like welcome to the world of 50s.
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.240
Yeah, and starting everybody out, girl.
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.319
Just just just let them have it.
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.839
Just a person, I just don't want to be.
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.759
But they they come at you and they let you have it, so give it back.
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.680
Like, well, you know what?
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:37.600
I don't I don't think I don't think it's bad if you are like I'm I don't think I ever try to come at anyone maliciously.
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.399
A lot of people probably don't think they right.
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:46.800
I'm just saying, I don't try to come at you maliciously, but when you bring that to me, I am very good at swatting it back.
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:48.319
Right.
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:57.279
I'm very good at swatting it back because at some point you have to protect yourself, and and more so mentally, it ain't even physically, just mentally protect yourself.
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:05.759
And you you just get to that stage, like you can't just say anything to me or do anything or say anything to me and think that it's just it's just gonna ride.
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.360
But that's that 50 and fuck it attitude, it is real.
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:10.800
It is real.
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.319
You get to a stage you don't care about what I don't care what people think about me.
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:26.399
I don't care what you say, and and honestly, if if you don't have nothing to do with the queendom and pay no bills in the house and whatever, your opinion is not friends, right?
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:27.519
Your opinion doesn't matter.
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:43.439
Your opinion is not important to me, and I think it takes a long time to get there, especially as women, because we're attacked from every, you know, your body, you know, from every angle that it takes it's just maturity, I think, in time to get to that space.
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:44.160
Absolutely.
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:51.360
I believe I believe that it's wisdom and maturity because it there's something that people say all the time, and they say, um, I'll match your energy.
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.879
And I always say to people, I'm definitely not matching energy.
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.959
Because if you come with something negative or whatnot, it's just not for me.
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.959
I'm not even gonna put myself in that space.
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:06.720
But what I do is I silently walk away, and people don't even realize I'm gone until they realize I'm gone.
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:07.680
Right?
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:12.079
So I don't need to address everything, I don't need to talk about it, I don't need to know why.
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:13.680
I'm just gone.
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.959
But it makes me feel better because I don't have to digest it.
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.519
And it doesn't matter who you are, it could be family.
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:28.959
Like I know how to turn things off because I think for so long we've been told, well, that's your blood and that's your family.
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.639
And I know I don't, you're not entitled to treat me.
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.839
Because sometimes I feel like if I don't say something, I didn't say anything in that moment.
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.040
Now they think I'm okay with that.
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:40.000
And that behavior.
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.160
Yeah, but you have to say this.
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:48.399
So to your point, you have to know when to say something, but I don't have to still match crazy energy.
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:49.680
Yeah, I don't match crazy boundaries.
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.959
And I can say something to you.
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.519
Sometimes it's right then and there because you need to.
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.800
Sometimes I can call you and say, hey, do you have space?
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:00.959
It depends on how important you are to me to be personal.
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:01.519
Thank you.
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:02.240
That part.
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:03.600
Hey, do you have space?
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:08.480
Because I never call somebody and let's have a conversation.
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.639
Because I need you to be open to what's going on.
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:16.160
But my back line when people get rude, I'm gonna start saying, That was real weird of you.
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:17.279
And that's gonna let them know.
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.319
I'm sorry, that that's gonna let them know what that like.
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.000
Are you gonna say it with that tone too?
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.079
Yeah, like that was very weird of you.
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.399
And then go on to something else.
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.680
Cause you I'm gonna make you feel like shit for trying to act crazy with me.
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:30.800
That's gonna be.
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:34.240
And you think that statement is gonna make them listen, it's gonna have to.
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.440
Because I don't want to say that and evolved.
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.919
I do not want to go back to being That was real weird of you.
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:45.279
That's that's my groan comes.
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.000
That's your new Yes, my groan comeback.
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:48.320
Uh oh.
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:53.919
So if anybody hear me say that was real, that means you done pissed me off, and I'm probably not gonna talk to you anymore.
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:56.799
That's that's if that if that was.
00:08:59.039 --> 00:08:59.519
That's what I do.
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:06.080
That's what I do, and then uh people will call, like people will piss me off, and I'm like, okay, and I won't talk to you no more.
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:11.440
And then people call, well, I done did now, because I've walked away silently, and then they'd be like, Why you ain't answer the phone?
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.399
You ain't did it because I'm not I'm not doing this with you.
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.200
Just not so I'm gonna add a little twist.
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:19.120
Tell you that you're weird, weird.
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:20.879
You're weird.
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:23.440
Let me know how that goes.
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.200
You see, I'm sitting there going on.
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:26.080
Okay.
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:29.360
I think if I walk away, that's when you know you're in trouble.
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:30.960
I don't want to do that.
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:36.320
Just walk away from somebody just saying something that's like like in the middle of their conversation, like, okay, I'm gonna do like this with you.
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.559
Well, well, sometimes I don't even say anything.
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:42.159
I and and sometimes I think, well, most of the time, silence is the best thing.
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:48.240
It is because usually if you get a response out of me in that moment, you're not gonna like it.
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.000
We'll probably never be friends again because I'm gonna rip you from head to toe.
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:53.600
So sometimes I'm silent.
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.480
And I'm gonna tell you no, if I care about you, I'm usually silent.
00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:59.039
Because I have to think first.
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:00.559
I gotta think first.
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.080
How important is this person to me?
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:03.919
Because I'm gonna rip their whole life apart.
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:14.159
But but if you're someone, I don't really hate to say it, if you're not of that importance to me, important to me, yeah, I can address you in a moment and then walk away.
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:19.840
But that's part, that's part of just getting to a stage where you can't walk up and say just anything to me.
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.159
Now, we already know we say this all the time as mothers.
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.399
The ones that hurt your feelings are the ones that's close to you.
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:36.480
Because one, you care about them, you care about them, you know they care about you, but people that are not important in your life, there's not a lot you can say to me.
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:38.240
There's not a lot you can say to me.
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.840
And my circle is so small, it's not a lot of people that can hurt my feelings.
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.519
It's not that uh, you know, a lot of times people think I'm so bulletproof.
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:51.200
And I'm no, I just you're not important enough to hurt my feelings, if that makes sense.
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.440
But I think that again, that gets to stage.
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:56.879
But I think a lot of people, and I have to say, I have to give younger people credit too.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.919
They had a stage in their life too, they don't give a shit about what you say either.
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.559
Now they can go that good and bad because it got pros and cons.
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:10.720
Because there's some young folks, somebody needs to say something to them or whatever, but it's pros and cons.
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.799
But I think we were just always reared to people please.
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:15.919
Yeah, yes.
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.080
That's a per that's a perfect term.
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:19.840
Yeah, especially as women, yeah.
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:26.879
We were raised to people please, and at some point you get to a stage and you gotta realize I don't care what you do, what you say, you're not gonna please everybody.
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:31.120
And you gotta get to a point that you just don't care, and you just gotta be you and live your life.
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:39.919
And I think I'm I'm I'm there, but I'm also at trying to always pull people in.
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:40.720
Yeah.
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:41.279
Yeah.
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.519
Well, but but it's funny because, and we're gonna get into this episode.
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.080
We got a whole lot of stuff planned for season two.
00:11:50.639 --> 00:12:05.279
Of one hand, you're considered a nurturer, but the other hand, you're this hard, rigid, independent, you know, woman, which is completely the opposite of what you're saying being a nurturer is, but we'll get into all that stuff later on, honey.
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.159
But I got a whole lot of stuff to unpack in this season, too.
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:09.360
How about y'all?
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:14.320
Yeah, yeah, we unpack every time we see for real.
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:15.120
It goes off.
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:17.519
Oh, goodness.
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:19.840
But yeah, but I'm glad to have y'all back.
