AwakenBake & Positivity Intro

00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome to AwakenBake, 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 Wiz Khalifa, let's roll something and get the motherfucking day started. What up Sluts? How are we doing? Can we all just take a deep breath? Because I'm on my period, I have a headache, and I have a lot on my fucking mind. So for me, let's breathe.
00:00:29
Speaker
Okay, I feel seen, I feel grounded.

Navigating Negativity

00:00:32
Speaker
Okay guys, today's episode, I just wanted to say, don't stop being a good person just because the world seems fucking dark and annoying and just because devil's advocate ass bitches exist. That's what I wouldn't get the fuck into.

JVN's Podcast Experience

00:00:45
Speaker
Today's episode is honestly inspired by JVN. So JVN went on the expert armchair podcast with Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell. And I did not fucking enjoy any part of the way that they handled that. I just felt like he was kind of ambushed a little bit.
00:01:03
Speaker
And in my opinion, Dax Shepard, well, OK, so JVN cried. They fucking broke down in tears. And in my opinion, it's because Dax Shepard took the whole fucking fucking episode basically to play devil's advocate to the point where JVN said, I'm about to cry. I'm just so emotionally exhausted and tired of this. And I don't want to get into what they were talking about. But just so you all know, it was very much related to should trans people be allowed to play sports and be in the Olympics and all of that shit.
00:01:31
Speaker
And I'm just like, give it a fucking rest. Here's my fucking issue with devil's devil's advocate ass bitches. They never offer any solutions. All they do is create what if problems. They just list all of these imaginary problems of, well, this could go wrong and this could go wrong. Just say you're literally afraid of everything. You're a pussy. And I don't mean like a vagina. I mean, poosalanimous.
00:01:53
Speaker
Look it up. People are out here trying to create actual change, trying to progress in life, trying to find new ways and avenues of existing. But here comes the fucking devil's advocate ready to basically argue about all the reasons why you shouldn't do that. And you know why? They are regressive as fuck. They don't ever want to grow. They don't ever want to progress in any way, shape or fucking form. They are so small minded and fearful and fucking angry. And I know there's been people like, well, Dax was so calm when he was doing that.
00:02:23
Speaker
The argument in and of itself offers no type of solution whatsoever. All it does is block any type of avenue for change or progress or any results. All Devil's Advocate does and say, well, this could go wrong. What if this? Well, what if this? Well, what if this? You're asking all these dumb fucking questions that one, aren't really even an issue. And two, even if it is an issue, why are you not offering solutions? It's like then we offer you a solution and well, what if this? And then it's like you get a solution and they're not happy with the solution.
00:02:51
Speaker
Y'all are literally gonna play devil's advocate all the way to your fucking death because there's gonna be no progress, only regression. Y'all have small minds and anger issues and you really need to dig deep and think, what are you so afraid of and what are you so fucking angry about? Y'all can go ahead and go to hell, but we're not all going with you.
00:03:08
Speaker
So you and the devil can be down there hanging the fuck out, playing advocate, all that good shit, and we're all just gonna thrive.

Staying Positive & Influences

00:03:15
Speaker
And I'm not trying to be in the business of complaining and not offering a solution because that would make me very much related to a devil's advocate. So here's some, I don't know, just advice, some tips, some things that I do to try to remain a happy, good person in a world that seems really filled with darkness and evil and hate and devil's advocate ass bitches.
00:03:37
Speaker
First of all, and this might seem counterintuitive, but stand your ground at first. This is not going to be easy. It's going to be kind of painful, but we have to set clear fucking boundaries or else people are going to keep crossing them. We're going to keep being hurt. We're going to keep being drained emotionally, physically, mentally. We're going to be fucking exhausted.
00:03:53
Speaker
We're also not going to allow ourselves to become an angry person like these people. So what we're going to do next is we are going to find like-minded people and we're going to avoid devil's advocate ass bitches, okay? And I'm not saying that you need to be in an echo chamber, but what and who are the true intentions when you're hanging out with people who want to play devil's advocate? Because what is their point? They just want to block any type of hope and fucking dream someone might have, any new avenue, any something that hasn't existed before and might want to explore that.

Tech & Nature Balance

00:04:20
Speaker
And if you don't know anyone yet, guys, that's honestly the beauty. I know I know we shit a lot on like, oh, modern technology and the way that society kind of uses the media and social media and technology to brainwash us. However, we need to also start trying to realize that we can merge
00:04:36
Speaker
nature and technology. That's how we're going to thrive. We have to keep cultivating a safe place for both of those things to exist together, but we're really lacking in the nature area. And I think that's why there's such a huge push for like, hey, can we kind of slow down with all this technological and economical progress and kind of focus on saving our earth, our planet, or else we're not even going to have anywhere to do this shit.
00:04:58
Speaker
That's a tangent for a whole nother time. But what I'm saying is we need to still utilize our resources that we have. And I'm still including technology and resources. So find people, communities, influencers, Facebook groups. I don't give a fuck. Find people like-minded posts, pages, whatever you can that is going to bring you peace, make you feel seen, help you stay educated and on top of shit. You just don't want to be surrounded by people who are tearing you down and what you believe in all the time because it will drain your spirit.
00:05:26
Speaker
If you're listening to Awake and Big right now, congratulations. You're already doing a good job of trying to listen to like minded people, unless you hate watching us. And in that case, thank you for being here. I love every listener who listens. Thank you. But I think this is like the craziest part, honestly, about being devil's advocate. Um,
00:05:44
Speaker
when they continue to do this, right? And they're going to realize it's going to push people away. It's going to push a lot of experiences away. And it's probably going to push away the people who are listening to this, people like myself and Kelsey and anyone who likes to, you know, I don't know, just like anyone who's an advocate for human rights
00:06:02
Speaker
When we're thriving and we're living a life of peace without them and we have people who love us and uplift us and we're successful and we're glowing and we're finally happy and we're finally healthy, they're going to wonder, how did you do it? And they're going to ask you how. And then they're going to question it. They're going to question the validity of it. Well, it must have just been so easy for you. And they might even want to come back into your life, but they can't. They cannot touch you. Their vibes have not changed, OK? You have a life of love because you're being a loving being. The energy you put out is what you attract back.
00:06:30
Speaker
half the time I notice that all these fucking devil's advocate ass bitches are so unhappy. And I know a lot of them personally. And I've chosen to distance myself from them or to not I'm not even talking just boundaries. I'm talking like no communication. And it is wild to see like how much more happiness and peace and success you have because when you're fueling your soul and what feeds you and what loves you,
00:06:55
Speaker
That's how you get into alignment. That's

Beliefs, Boundaries & Light Work

00:06:57
Speaker
how you succeed. That's how you are fulfilled and find happiness and joy and can really start establishing a life for yourself. You don't want to always be in survival mode or always in defensive mode or recovery mode. So I don't know guys. I think that I was very triggered as a lot of people were by the interview on the expert armchair. I really support everything that Jonathan Van Ness does. I also love their hair care line. I buy their products.
00:07:22
Speaker
And I just thought that they were so well-spoken and so educated on the subject, and they did a great job of, like I said earlier, standing the ground. You want to set clear boundaries. They were very clear and firm, but still so, in my opinion, unnecessarily kind and loving and forgiving and willing to talk and try to learn and understand another person's point of view while still establishing, like, well, these are the facts, and this is what I believe.
00:07:47
Speaker
I just, I have a lot of feelings about Devil's Advocate. And I know Kelsey does too because she texted me and was like, after she listened to the podcast and she, all she said, like we didn't go over, she didn't know I was going to do this episode about Devil's Advocate, you know, how to respond to it and my opinions on it.
00:08:03
Speaker
But she texted me and she was like, what I'm the most irritated and angry about, too, is I'm so tired of these devil's advocates. I don't understand what their point is. I don't understand why they think that like they're not coming off as hateful and anti whatever it is they're advocating for devilishly. It's just exhausting sometimes. And I know I'm not the only one who's exhausted by it. So I said, hey,
00:08:26
Speaker
Maybe I can offer some advice or at least offer someone to make you feel seen if you're feeling the same way, especially if you know what interview I'm talking about and you listen to it. I'm sure you have opinions on it. And if you're going to hit me up on some, well, this is what I think about the trans issue and why I'm going to play devil's advocate. Just don't. Hey, just don't. You don't have to listen to me. You don't have to come to my podcast. You don't have to do any of that. I don't really give a fuck if you don't want trans people to thrive. That's really like that's your issue. And don't ever bring that up to me again. OK.
00:08:56
Speaker
I love all of you. I just hope that we can all use our energy and be lights in the world, okay? Everyone listening to this, we are light workers. We know this. A lot of us are starseeds. A lot of us are just these magical beings who are here to help raise the collective consciousness. And I'm so grateful for that. And I know that there's a lot more of us than sometimes it feels like.
00:09:16
Speaker
I know sometimes the way that news portrays the world as being so negative and social media, I was just saying, oh, there's benefits of it, but I do still see the negative sides of the way that I don't want to say the man, but big corporations and all of that. They just want to
00:09:34
Speaker
Make everything. I'm going on a tangent because I feel like we're heading toward Atlantis type situation. If y'all know, basically Atlantis got too advanced and their whole society like crumbled because they were just like selfish and focused more on themselves and technology and didn't. Yeah, it's a whole long story. You can dig into it. And I just I just feel like that's very much the energy sometimes that Earth is giving and that life on Earth right now is giving.
00:10:01
Speaker
So then I have to remind myself, hey, I can come back to center. I can surround myself with like-minded people like you guys listening to Awake and Bake. And I can calm the fuck down and ground myself so that I can be a light and a source of inspiration. And yeah, just do my job as a light worker to help raise the collective and be an ally to everybody and anybody that I possibly can who needs it. And I'm always learning and always growing. And I didn't, I don't want this to come off like a white savior complex because this is not like,
00:10:29
Speaker
a black or white issue. This is a issue about human rights.
00:10:34
Speaker
Yeah guys, I don't know.

Final Thoughts & Listener Gratitude

00:10:36
Speaker
I'm just really sad. I'm on my period too. I'm just really sad with the way that JBN was treated on that podcast. And I'm just also really annoyed with devil's advocate ass bitches if that wasn't fucking clear. So thank you for listening to me rant. Thank you for being here and always being so patient and understanding with the topics that we talk about and the way that I talk about it. I know that my tone and presentation is not always for everybody but y'all really make me feel safe and accepted. And I do feel like this is a space where I can like really articulate what's on my mind
00:11:03
Speaker
Because it's really important to me, like I'm someone I can't stay in my head. I have to talk out loud, which is obvious because I have this fucking podcast. I know I'm rambling, but I'm just really, really grateful. And I just didn't want to end this on like a negative note, like the world sucks and devil's advocates are everywhere because the world is full of more love. And I see it and I'm here for it and I'm grateful for it. And yeah, I hope you guys say hi. I hope you're thriving. Have a great rest of your day, evening, month, week, year and stay fabulous. Bye bye.
