Introduction to Awaken Big and Episode Context
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome to Awaken Big, an educational, high vibrational, mystical, spiritual pot, I'm sorry, pod cast. From one girl, one joint, and a journey to awaken what's inside all of us. In the words of the wise with Khalifa, let's roll something and get the day started. Hey bitches, it's just me today. It's Danny on the track, well.
00:00:19
Speaker
You might want to start addressing me as Danielle, but we'll get into that. It's another solo episode because my good bitch Kelsey has shit to do. It happens.
Danny's Manic Episode and Energy Management
00:00:30
Speaker
You guys, we need to have a talk. I am in a manic episode right now, but I'm like medicated and I'm safe and everything, right? It's just one of those times where I'm observing, but I'm using it to my advantage because I'm safe.
00:00:42
Speaker
I'm stable enough, you know what I mean? And so I always try to like lean into like the positives of whatever the situation is. So like say that you were in maybe a depressive episode, maybe then that's just your time to focus on like nurturing yourself and taking care of yourself physically and going inward and doing more feminine things. But when I have this energy, I have so much masculine energy potential that I'm really trying to just like harness right now.
The Power of Alter Egos in Stressful Situations
00:01:08
Speaker
So you guys, I am using this alter ego thing. Well, first of all, I've been using it my whole fucking life. OK, so I use this technique multiple ways. Number one, in stressful situations, I often do this like I just literally step into my higher self. I'm just like, how would my higher self handle this right now with the knowledge I have and who I am and everything going on?
00:01:28
Speaker
like I just kind of tap in if I'm in like a high emotional stressful situation. That's what I do. I just kind of like, okay, how would my higher self handle this? I channel my highest self. But also, Danny was created as an alter ego. So my government name is Danielle, right? But when I was little, I thought that Danielle was such like an old person name. I remember thinking it was a grandma name. It's crazy, because I actually was told by multiple people that it's like a very regal name and that it was cute. I've been told that I give off, okay, I'm not trying to suck my own tit, but
00:01:58
Speaker
Let it happen, bitch. I'm sucking them. Both of them, bitch. Because I have been told by so many people, specifically men who are attracted to me, their line is always like, oh my gosh, your energy is just so regal. That's crazy to me. That's hilarious. Because if you're one of my friends, you know, I am the farthest thing from regal. I give off major hillbilly energy and I am embarrassed, but it's true. I'm not going to hide that. So to be called regal, especially by people that I'm definitely
00:02:27
Speaker
Like they're under my feminine spell. You know what I mean? That's just very interesting. So I kind of love that. But at the time I didn't recognize Danielle as something that was regal. I saw it as like an old name. And so then Danny was created because I started going to a new school. So when I was in sixth grade, I went from a Catholic school. So up and so. OK.
00:02:47
Speaker
Beginning of school until fifth grade, I go to a Catholic school. Fifth grade, I audition for the art school downtown and I got in. So then in sixth grade on until like, even throughout college, I always went to a performing arts school.
00:03:01
Speaker
That being said, I was like, well, fuck this Danielle shit. I'm about to go to SCPA. I get to go to an art school now. I get to wear whatever I want. I get to like express myself. Um, and when you come from like a Catholic school, you have to wear a uniform and then you also have like a home life where you have no control. Like I loved any type of self-expression. So I was like, I'm going to go by Danny and Danny was a confident bitch. Danny was edgy. Danny, I mean, okay. Edgy as edgy as I can be. I'm not like super edgy.
00:03:25
Speaker
If you know me, you know, like the most edgy thing about me is like I used to shave my head, but like my activities, I don't know if I would qualify those as edgy. Regardless, Danny was an energy. It was like an alter ego essentially, but it was me.
00:03:40
Speaker
And you guys, I'm not the only one to do this celebrities. Let me give you some like celebrity comparison examples.
Celebrity Alter Egos: Inspiration and Examples
00:03:46
Speaker
Okay. We all know the famous Beyonce Sasha fears. So when Beyonce was first starting out, she would channel her alter ego, which was Sasha fears. Now, obviously Beyonce is basically like,
00:03:59
Speaker
her own form of a goddess. She doesn't need Sasha Fierce anymore and now she's just Beyonce. She's not even Beyonce Knowles. It's just a one name thing. It's Beyonce. It's Zendaya. It's Prince. You know what I mean? It's that level celebrity icon.
00:04:16
Speaker
But that's one, that's one of the more famous examples. Another one is Halsey. So Halsey's real name is Ashley. When you rearrange the letters, you get Halsey. And I believe they did this because they were like, I've recently heard it in an interview. Not even, it wasn't even Halsey saying it. It was someone else using Halsey as an example.
00:04:34
Speaker
But they were saying that when Halsey was going by Ashley, they didn't feel like Ashley was very worthy. They just didn't like who they were. They didn't feel like Ashley was worthy of all the success that they knew that they were capable of. So then they would channel their alter ego Halsey. And Halsey was this bad bitch. And look at Halsey now. Halsey is that bitch. So an example that's more like my situation, where I didn't really choose a whole new name, but if I did,
00:04:59
Speaker
If I did, the universe wants it to be Lola, which is I get it, that could be cringy. But that is just like a name that has come up for me so much, like, throughout childhood, it came up. And then when I was in college, like, it was like a whole thing. My teachers were obsessed with me like, being Lola from
00:05:15
Speaker
Danny Yankees, it's whatever we don't I don't want to talk about it. But like, that's just like the energy that I just know the universe if I had to have a different name, I think it would be Lola. And I think it was just like given to me. I think it was divine. You know, I don't think it's my doing. Anyway, my Danny though, like that whole alter ego personality. Let's talk about Miley Cyrus for a second. When I was young, I don't know, maybe I was in seventh grade.
00:05:39
Speaker
sixth, seventh, eighth grade. I bought Miley Cyrus' CD and it was the one that had... Oh God, what were the songs on there? I can't even remember. It had so many good ones. Oh, it had one that was like, lives are free, talk is cheap, and it went hard as fuck.
00:05:55
Speaker
Uh, so that album I was reading like, you know, when you get in a CD, I know we don't really do those anymore. Maybe we do. I don't know. Everything's online. Um, I say that like, I'm like some old bitch who's like, I miss CDs. Like I'm not attached. I'm just giving you a simple memory. So I had this Miley Cyrus CD. I was reading it front to back. Cause I was like, whoa, like.
00:06:14
Speaker
You know Instagram actually was not really a thing so like I was like these pictures like they have like you know pictures that probably no one else has seen like she looks so pretty I'm obsessed so I was reading her little bio and it said that her name was actually Destiny Hope Cyrus and so then I did some research this bitch's government name is Destiny Hope Cyrus it was she hadn't legally changed to Miley
00:06:38
Speaker
Um, Miley Rae, I think, um, but her birth name was literally destiny. Hope Cyrus. She just felt like Miley was more fitting. Like Miley just made more sense. And now obviously how we know her today as the motherfucking mother Miley Cyrus. I'm like trying to say mother, like, cause I love it. I love when other people say it, it doesn't sound natural coming out of my mouth. Cause I'm like mother, but you know what I mean? Like me and Miley are so, we're just so similar is what I'm trying to get at. Like I basically am Miley Cyrus.
00:07:09
Speaker
So yeah, Destiny Hope becoming Miley Cyrus was me from Danielle to Danny. That being said, I think I'm gonna start channeling my Danielle energy again because I'm a grown-ass woman now and I've changed a lot since the Danny era.
Alter Egos as Manifesting Techniques
00:07:22
Speaker
Just use it to your advantage, guys, though. That's the fun thing about this. There's really no fucking rules about this. At the end of the day, it's a simple manifesting technique. It's literally one way to approach being as if.
00:07:35
Speaker
Or you could say being as if is one way to approach this. Like, you know, I say it all the time, but this is all just one big fucking game. You can consider it one long bit or a bunch of mini bits or maybe not a bit. Maybe it's a whole new experience every single fucking day and you can recreate yourself. But it's also your reality. So if you're like, no, it's just this painful, long, drawn out life, like that's what it's going to be, bitch.
00:07:57
Speaker
Anyway, I have specific times and situations that I like to channel these different alter egos. So whether I'm channeling my highest self or, you know, some Danny, well, now I, like I said, maybe some Danielle energy, there are certain times I like to do it. The most, like the time I'm thinking of most is honestly, whenever I've been in an interview or like an audition, you know, that voice you do and like, you just turn it on. Like you're just like, suddenly I am America's sweetheart, which is like,
00:08:27
Speaker
Yeah, like the the praise kink inside of me is like, yeah, that's what it is. Sorry. I don't know what else to say. But that's like kind of like a time where you can use it like if you're interviewing for a job or like you have an audition or if you're just trying to make a good impression on people like step into your highest fucking self or step into an alter ego so that it doesn't matter how awkward or anxious the real you is like channel the bitch you want to be consider it like an era you guys like that's really popular right now.
Embracing the 'Villain Era' and Setting Boundaries
00:08:54
Speaker
I'm not gonna lie. I'm really into this villain era.
00:08:57
Speaker
I think it's just a phase. I'm not going to lie. I do think my villain era is a phase. I think it will probably pass when the mania passes. But you know, a villain has their own story. I feel like we've we've all got to be the villain in someone's story. I know I'm the villain in a few people's stories as much as it sucks. And I'm literally shocked. I'm like, how do you not see things from my perspective? You dumb bitch. But at the same time, I'm like, well, they simply don't and I can't make them.
00:09:22
Speaker
So just be yourself without the shame or without the fear of judgment or guilt. Being a villain is not, let me be really clear. When I say be a villain, I don't think that being a villain is about being a menace to society or to others, but it does mean, and it really requires that you put yourself and your own needs first, regardless of how anyone feels about it. The Libra inside of me.
00:09:44
Speaker
I'm trying to record, so could you please quiet down with the loudness? Thank you. My dog, she's such an attention whore. She gets it from her mom. So the Libra inside me wants to just make sure I stay within reason, you guys. Do not harm people. Don't go out of your way to be a fucking dick or a bigot. We don't do that shit. But what I'm saying is like,
00:10:02
Speaker
Gosh, just start saying no or maybe have stricter boundaries or maybe have a little bit more attitude. Let people know that they can't walk all over you. Let me just give some examples so that I don't ramble. I can really overdo my rambling and then sometimes I overcompensate and I describe something and I'm like, now I don't even know why I just went so hard on this. I made notes so that we don't get off topic.
00:10:25
Speaker
Maybe, maybe you're someone like me and I have been putting everyone else's emotions before mine because like I kind of thought that that was what I was supposed to be doing. Now don't get me wrong. I know that I need to put myself first because like it's kind of like the whole mask thing on an airplane. Like you got to save yourself so you can.
00:10:42
Speaker
help other people. I get that. I just thought that what I was going through wasn't as big of a deal compared to what other people were going through, but I've kind of put that off for long enough, so now it's starting to show within my self-worth. Maybe you're someone who has been saying yes to a lot of shit when you want to say no, and maybe you could handle it at first. Maybe you said yes when it was a time where you really could handle that shit, but babe, seasons change and you're not meant to do it forever. You know what I mean?
00:11:08
Speaker
work overtime all the fucking time. So maybe you need to start saying no, or maybe you've gotten a little bit too relaxed and your boundaries have kind of been like muffled and now you're fucking tired and you need to set some boundaries. Or maybe you've been behind the scenes doing the work, being mindful, working on your fucking self and kind of staying out of everyone's way, minding your business. But now it's time to be fucking seen, okay? Let us know who you are. Show us this new you. Show us this best you. You can also have multiple
Multiple Alter Egos for Self-Expression and Empowerment
00:11:37
Speaker
alter egos why the fuck not now I'm not I've debated saying this because I'm like I'm not trying to tell you guys to have like a billion personalities because I don't know if that's actually like healthy for people's mental but why the fuck not if you can have one alter ego like you can have multiple for different occasions like I'm sure that could be kind of fun and I'm sure that's totally not like an unhealthy coping mechanism or a sign of mental illness but that's what I'm doing right now at least it's I'm having a lot of fun with this alter ego shit having a lot of fun with my villain era um
00:12:06
Speaker
But you guys use this to fuel you. It's not supposed to be negative. It's not supposed to be stressful. It's not supposed to make you feel bad. Be like, oh yeah, I'm a piece of shit, so I need an alter ego. No, baby. Just use it as a way of self-expression and the way that you dress and the way that you groom yourself and how you speak. And I don't mean
00:12:24
Speaker
Like, I mean, what do you stand for? Like, what do you speak about? Like, what matters to you? Be loud and fucking proud about it. Like, your energy and your power are yours. And you get to be picky as fuck with where you give it. Maybe this is the season where you're a little bit more stingy and selfish. Hey, puppies, you're being like really loud. And I don't know if my friends can hear you on the podcast, but I know you need mommy. OK, well, we'll wrap this up. You guys, what I'm saying is there's nothing you can't do. OK. And I know you you've been through shit.
00:12:53
Speaker
You definitely have, especially if you're listening to this, like, come on, guys, we're all some light workers, we're all some starseeds. You deserve to fucking feel like the boss that you are, okay? This is your wake up call, bitch. If you have been kind of feeling in a funk, if you've not been feeling yourself, Source wanted me to come here and personally tell you to consider cultivating your alter egos or embracing your villain energy, okay?
00:13:18
Speaker
I love you. This is all coming from a place of love. Stay high vibes. And as Kelsey would say, bye.
