Brittney Wright: 4:45

First of all, let me just say, I've never heard our bios. Like, right out like that. I know. I like her. She's good. Y'all

DJ And?: 4:57

can thank Tamia Allen for putting that together so well. Shout out to you, girl. But man, happy, happy Saturday. I always like to say to people, it starts off well. It's beautiful out there. It's nice and warm down here in Charleston today. We are, technically, we are all the way downtown, but we in the region. I always like to tease about that because I'm online. On certain shows, they always say they're in Charleston, they'll be in Mom's Corner. So I always like to talk trash about that. But we always like to start each episode with a little background history of our guests, just to familiarize our audience with you all. Of course, we did an extensive breakdown on that background, told them a lot about you all, but it wasn't everything. Could you explain what it was like growing up for you all? Of course, each one take your turn, but growing up in Charleston, South Carolina and what influenced you as a child growing up, and how did you two meet each other?

Brittney Wright: 5:41

Ooh, you want me to give that story? Yeah. Okay. Well, first of all, let me start with how we met because that will flow. We're actually sisters. Most people think we're friends which we have been friends, but we're sisters for real for real. Yes. So my dad has married her mom and we are for real sisters. What? Since

Noel Lawhorn: 6:02

we were teenagers. Yes. Yes. We were best friends. And then both of us have deceased parents. Her mother passed away, and my dad passed away when we were very young children, four and seven. And so we had two widowed parents, and we played parent trap on them.

Brittney Wright: 6:19

I was

Mic: 6:20

about to say. No lie. Parent trap. So like, y'all

Noel Lawhorn: 6:23

were besties who made yourselves sisters. Correct. And it was the best thing ever.

Brittney Wright: 6:26

Right, and so listen. So we literally met in second grade though on the playground, because we found out our birthdays were a day apart. Yeah, we just get better and better at it. You can't be playing

DJ And?: 6:35

with me.

Noel Lawhorn: 6:38

Oh, it's funny. So November 21st? Yeah, November 22nd. Oh, so that means we are customers, we're cussed Scorpios and Sagittarius. Jesus. Yeah. So it's a whole combination of crazy

Mic: 6:52

dang gang.

Noel Lawhorn: 6:55

Imagine being parents to two children like this. And we both have brothers outside of it. So it was two. A sister and a brother. And a sister and a brother. And then we got, our parents got married. Blended all of us together and now we share a little brother together, right? Yeah, you're missing one

DJ And?: 7:11

more for you to Brady Bunch Correct.

Brittney Wright: 7:14

Pretty much.

Noel Lawhorn: 7:15

Yeah. Like, for real, for real. For real. Like, we're sisters. No TV. No. We have tried to explain this to Kevin, like, 20 times. And I don't think it, it hasn't

DJ And?: 7:24

registered. Y'all, y'all rightness is sprinkling something. He never told me y'all were

Noel Lawhorn: 7:27

sisters. Because he doesn't believe it. And I keep telling him the same thing. I'm like, we are sisters. And he's like, but y'all just flow, and like, y'all's conversation. I'm like. We've been doing this for a while. We

DJ And?: 7:40

live together. We do her sister. Like, no lie, like same room, like we're in the same house.

Brittney Wright: 7:43

Absolutely, yeah. Celebrated birthdays and things together. So I was like, what we doing? Okay, your day is first, my day is, how we gonna merge? Cause when 12 o'clock happens, it's no longer your day, it's my day. It's your day. Yeah, we've been merging and working together flawlessly since we were little. So yeah. Good

DJ And?: 8:00

gracious, so growing

Brittney Wright: 8:02

up. That's our parents. That's right.

Noel Lawhorn: 8:07

We survived. What kind of

Mic: 8:08

children were you? They survived.

Brittney Wright: 8:10

That's right. I like to say that we were great children. I think we did amazing things and our parents are very proud today that we survived. My dad always says, whoo. I didn't know for a minute if we were going to survive or y'all were going to survive and what y'all were going to become. So I don't know how you want to take that, but that's what he tells us as adults now. I mean, that

Mic: 8:32

sounds accurate. From

Noel Lawhorn: 8:39

a parent point Of the women that we've become. And I think, one, I, I will say one of the biggest, Biggest, most influential moments with our parents, regardless, like we can't even talk about teenage years because we have daughters, so I will never disclose. I have daughters. Okay. And I have one on the way. Blessings. Thank you. And so, I think the most influential part of just growing up and, and becoming an adult was going through the divorce. And we went through a divorce at very similar times. He's literally three months behind me. In a divorce situation so we divorced at the same time. Correct. Basically, just three months behind each other. Right now. It's why we did not set it up. No, we were literally like, I mean, we have cried years together and tried to like, Oh girl, you just gotta, you know, you just gotta pray about it. Like you gonna make it with him. Like you just got to keep waiting until the point where we realized like we were dying and it was like we are dying a slow death here. What do we do? And we talk about it in our first episode of Redefining You, where we, I don't, I just placed this call to her one day, and I was like, I haven't moved in days, and like, I'm this faithful person, and I'm always telling y'all to have this big faith, but I was like, my faith is supposed to be the size of a mustard seed, it's like on a floss string. And I was like, I just don't even know, like, what to do, and she's like, I don't know either, but we just gotta We just got to sit still until God answers. Somebody got to answer and it was like, Okay, let's just sit still. We got each other. And like, we would literally go through the divorce and we would talk on the phone 8 to 12 hours. She would work a whole shift in the nurse. If your auntie is named Abigail, I, I know all of her stuff from her chart because I was in her ear when she was working that day. Sorry, it was just a hard Time to experience, but you still had to be a mother. You still had to be a RN. You still had to be a real estate agent. I still had clients who were, you know, spending a quarter of a million dollars on a home and very emotional. And it's like, I have my own emotions, but like, I have to show up to work and be professional and absolutely. and get it done because now it's just me, you know, it's just us in the, as the head of the households. And it's like, how are we going to do this? And, and be all of these things. And so we literally will pop in earbuds. I mean, I think I went through about four pairs. because I would kill them, die, step on them, lose them, but literally she would be in my ear for like 8 to 12 hours a day. And then we'd just kick back in and be like, Oh, okay, hey girl, yeah, you all right? Yeah, girl, did you hear that crying? Like, they have lost their minds, but you know what? I'm gonna pray about them. Cause I got bigger things to fry, I fish to fry. That's how we survived divorce was together. And I mean, by the grace of God, we had each other, but we also had two parents who, We're experienced the death of a family in a different way. They were widows. They were their families fell apart because of no choice. No choice. Right. And so they're looking at us going, well, y'all just gonna walk away. Like, how are y'all about to do this? And I think as the months went on, they were just like, we would call and they're like, how you doing? You don't sound, you know, you're right today. And it's like. Yeah, I'm okay. And then you try to vent to them like, you know, I'm going through such and such Literally, our parents answer was have you talked to your sister? Because they knew Right. Literally. We don't know how to

Mic: 12:17

get you through this! But your sister actually Call

Noel Lawhorn: 12:18

your sister! And then it be times where like You know, there'll be times where like Britney would make this drastic transition into something else. And like, I'll never forget her dad called me one night and I'm like, I've got two plates of food in my hand. I'm burning something up on the stove. Right. And he's like, I need you to talk to your sister. I'm like, Hey, how are you doing? I'm I'm I had a rough day too. But I will say it brought all us experiencing the divorce actually brought our entire family closer together because we all realized like, We really have to have each other. We, we all walk through major journeys in life and, and experience heartbreak and heartache and death. And we have to grieve this out together and become stronger in order for us to see the other side of this. And like, I think that was a pivotal moment of our parents looking at us and going, these are full grown women that we were a little nervous about them before, but these are some great women. Like, these are two powerful, strong. Women and they're going to be okay as long as they have each other. And that's what they did. They used to tell us all the time. They raised us as to be twins. Like we raised all as twins. Y'all really are.

DJ And?: 13:28

This is weird. I work with triplets, right? Yeah. And I know two of them very well, and their thread, I always like to tease the thread that they have between them, like, y'all know y'all got a soul thread, you can't get rid of it, right? Yeah. You all are giving off that energy, that vibe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, y'all got that

Mic: 13:42

twin energy, man.

DJ And?: 13:43

Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, but I'm appreciating the background so I can understand why you all are the way you are. Of course, we talked about how you all met each other. We talked a little bit about your childhood, growing up here in Charles, and where did you all

Brittney Wright: 13:56

go to school? So we went to the same schools except for middle school. We met in elementary school. And then it's funny because our so where we lived at the time. bEfore she moved into our house we went to different middle schools, which is funny because we were always at each other's middle schools. Like, if she had a dance or they had some kind of prom, we went together. Yeah. And then when I had a prom or something, we went together. And we always dressed different from what the, whatever the dress code was. We did something completely different. We are just, yes. So we came as twins. Yeah. But if it was formal, we came with jeans and a tie dye shirt and shoestrings in our hair. We used to wear shoestrings, airbrush, shoestrings, and we had matching Jordans. We were off the chain. But we were great. People really loved us. But then high school, we went to Stratford here in Somerville. Yes. Yes. Yes. And we had a great day. We had a great time at Stratford. Shout out Knights. But

Noel Lawhorn: 14:54

I think it also had to play with, like, like, the fact that, you know, our families had blended when we went to middle school. That was a time where our parents Got together. Yeah. And we had now, you know, started living together as a group. And so it was crazy. Like she said, we experienced each other's schools and so by the time we got to high school, it was like, oh, I know everybody from that middle school and my middle school. Mm-Hmm. And so it was, you know, it was like a very easy transition for us to go into. We had double. Yeah, to go into high school. We did. So, yeah, if you ever meet people from around this way, they always know it's Brittany and Noel. And, like, they always know it's to be together. We went separate colleges, obviously we chose two different complete career fields and stuff. So that was our only time that we actually, like, had a moment where we grew up separate. Like, we experienced life differently and separate. It was hell for us.

Brittney Wright: 15:51

That led us to divorce. It was hell for us. It really was because that was the moment, like you said, where we're like, we came back together, it was like, what did we do apart? We should have been together the whole time. Yeah. You

DJ And?: 16:02

all tried not to twin and saw that it did not work.

Noel Lawhorn: 16:05

Correct. So Tia and Tamera, good luck. Because y'all are trying this and you see Tia We have been watching, like, literally. I'm telling you that we created in that period was a life that we created and then we had to go back during Getting a divorce and unraveling it going. Okay. Well now I got you. So let's figure this out differently like

Brittney Wright: 16:28

And it's actually come back together and it's been working. Yeah,

Noel Lawhorn: 16:32

it's beautiful. Life is great. Life has been redefined on so many

Mic: 16:35

levels. I like that. I like that.

DJ And?: 16:38

Life

Brittney Wright: 16:38

has been redefined. She gon always plug it in. Always. She gon

Mic: 16:44

always print. Something always,

DJ And?: 16:46

please, please keep plugging because it's always interesting. And, and you, and we were talking, we were discussing this before we began, but it's nice. Like, if you do a podcast, I'll tell anybody that that doesn't content creation, if you work on a podcast, being able to go into a room and not have to set it up and just sit down and talk. I know you all are feeling very liberated

Mic: 17:07

by that right now.

Noel Lawhorn: 17:11

Absolutely. We're gonna set up people today. Shout out to Link's I have stepped on a few cannon battery packs. I'm like, if I just jump on it, it'll work. Right.

Brittney Wright: 17:23

Oh, it worked. Sit

Noel Lawhorn: 17:28

you do sometimes. lot. Like, Oh,

DJ And?: 17:31

my God, have you all I'm speaking of which, because of course we want to talk about this podcast world. And the main thing I always like to tell folks is the podcast world is sadly is becoming oversaturated. But it's not a bad thing because you get a variety of different Information and content.

Mic: 17:48

Personalities and energies. Absolutely. I'm gonna be honest, this is one of those days where we record a lot of podcasts at the same time. But y'all are just like, you come in here with your own little thing going on. Yeah, yeah. We're just, we're riding y'all's wave now. We're just here

DJ And?: 18:03

to look at y'all, to see what y'all are doing. And so, when you all decided to do a podcast, of course we, you already actually kind of answered this. Of course, just explain why you chose the name. A third podcast that you chose. And do you believe that everybody has this, the opportunity to redefine themselves at any point in their lives? And just from hearing you all talking, I know y'all believe that. Could you break that down a little bit for us? Just, I'm gonna start off from the top again. Why, why, and when did you all decide to start a podcast? And then why the name? Do you believe everybody has an opportunity

Brittney Wright: 18:37

to was like, that's such a heavy question. Like when I was even reading it, when you guys sent it, I was like, man, it's so, like that is packed. So starting redefining you literally before that, literally we came in here and was like, we're about to go in here and just tell these people exactly what we just do every day and people listen to us. And so. To answer your last question, absolutely. Every day you wake up, you have a chance to redefine you. Exactly who you are. And with redefining you, we are definitely, if you listen to us, faith based. Everything is God. And so, therefore, when I think of it, waking up, And getting on, getting close to God's will, every day you have a chance to do that. You just have to decide. Are you going to make the decision to, and then are you going to walk into the instructions to do that? And that can go a whole nother way because I can go far with my preaching and teaching as people like to say, right? But as far as redefining you, we literally, this came together from our divorce.

Noel Lawhorn: 19:45

Obviously. Middle of it. In the middle

Brittney Wright: 19:47

of it. But literally, one of those eight 12 hour talks was midnight one night. I'm laying on my couch. Who knows what she was doing around her house somewhere. Probably cleaning or something because we do random things at 2 and 3 in the morning. Sure. Especially when we're talking. But everything hits. At 12 a. m. for me 1 a. m. 2 a. m. Your best ideas. I feel like if you're a creator you understand that Literally, we're like, ah Redefining you. It really came from a song that we started listening to. It's, I can't remember the pastor that sings the song, but we heard the word redefining, and we knew we were going through this transition of things were starting to become redefined. We weren't doing it. It, it just, in transition, things were shifting, but we were becoming these new people that we didn't really yet understand, but we knew we were shifting and moving. And so we're like, man, people are watching us in this. So many people are coming up to us saying, girl, I don't know how you're walking through this. Like, she literally had clients. Things were just shifting. She had clients that were starting to go through divorce. And she's like, yeah, this is crazy. I had women coming up to me or in the hospital like, oh, I'm going through a divorce. I'm like, whoa. You didn't tell them anything. Didn't tell them anything. This was just starting to shift around us, right? And so because that was happening, we would see. The opposite of what we were going through. So these women were 50 and 60 years old, falling apart, losing things. And here we are, not just gracefully walking, but we have a partner. And we're like, most people don't have partners to walk through this. They have no idea what this feels like by yourself, especially if you have children and all these things involved. So, with us, We're like, man, we gotta really help people and we weren't thinking podcast at the time. We're like, how can we do this? We were thinking some kind of zoom some kind of community thing But of course laying on this couch and we just start coming up with these names We literally came up with this podcast in 20 minutes. Yeah,

Noel Lawhorn: 21:48

all all in episodes All the names. All the names. Like, literally. I was like, oh my god, we have to rewrite our story. Oh my god, we have to reintroduce ourselves. And it just started, and I was like, and you know, I'm big in branding. And so it just started with all these re words, R E, like, it was, and it was like, they were just coming to me on paper. I wrote it. Alliteration. That part, I wrote them so quickly, I still have this journal entry. I wrote it in my journal, it was the quickest book I had next to me, right? Because I live in this journal. And I wrote it down in this journal because they were coming so fast. They came in order of the episodes that we wrote, that we have recorded, and that we are still recording. They came in order, but I couldn't... When I go back to this journal, I wrote them in a neon orange, and it is, you know, that it was so quickly coming to me because I can't read what I wrote, right? I had to go back and type this to give this to our editor. And I was like just give me a minute because I know the words, but like, I'm trying to make sure that this was why that word came to me because like I'm saying we have to rewrite our story and she's just going off. So let me tell you about our connection, right? Because like you asked the question. I already knew that she was going, we, we've not practiced, we saw y'all questions, the prep work to this thing. We've not talked about that. We were in a room talking about something totally different that happened this week, okay? We have not practiced anything for this podcast today. We're just here flowing and this is us. And that's how we do this greatly. And so I knew when you asked the question, I was like, she's going to answer it. That the option does anybody have the opportunity because that's her answer. I am the process person So how the podcast came apart came together and work together is my answer and I was like what she's gonna get and she literally Starts and she's like, yeah, I believe everybody has that opportunity. I'm the background person So I'm like, but this is how it started like, you know And I promise you it's literally as the episodes when you see the titles of the episodes That is how it came to us. It came from an inspiration from a Donna Lawrence is the pastor in the song. It's called Rewritten Rewritten and it was talking about you know, God having the opportunity to rewrite your story, but it's up to you to accept the rewritten version. You can't keep going back to these old past ways and expecting a different, different thing. Right. And, you know, it's like definition of insanity, right? You're repeating the same thing. There you go. And so I was like, that's what it is. It's like. we're getting through the law of attraction. It's like the moments we feel down and out, God gives us this reminder of these people, like she said, 60 year old, 50 year old women who are saying like, I'm falling apart. Like, I mean, y'all I'm talking to people saying, Hey, I just got it out of two weeks in the asylum because of my divorce. And, and they're looking at us going, what are you doing? Like, how are you smiling? How your skin is glowing. And it's like. no, we have our days, but I know I don't want to be where in your shoes, so I have to keep going this route that apparently I'm being transitioned through. And so, but like she said, it was just good to have each other. And so podcast was not the answer for us. We sat on this journal entry in this name for months. And then the more people we told our story to and the more people that we came in contact with, it was like. I guess podcast is the easiest way to get it out, you know, and to get the information and then the community will be built off of that. And like the community. I don't want to spoil the last question, but like the community is coming like the women, right? You know, we were starting to set up brunch meetings and things with women and it's all different things are not just divorcees We don't want to say that redefining you is just about divorce. It is literally about any male female It is about anyone who literally realizes I can't continue the same path of this loop of, you know, mistakes or regret or brokenness and how I feel something has to be on the other side. I may not see it. I may not know what it is. I don't even know what I look like on the other side is I just know that there's something greater and a different version of me that will show up if I put the work in.

Brittney Wright: 25:55

Right. And we're just the examples. That's it. Right and how we came up with the titles of each thing. We literally had to sit back So sometimes you have to go back you have to reflect and we had to think about what did we go through at one moment? Yeah, and I think that also became real for us because we're like we went through

DJ And?: 26:13

that? And you had to think about it. We had to.

Brittney Wright: 26:16

We literally had to go through, okay when we were

DJ And?: 26:18

here Last time on My Life. Yup.

Mic: 26:22

Yup. You gotta do it all the time. You do. Cause otherwise you just, you end up locking stuff away. Cause you don't want to look at it. It sucks. You don't want to look at it.

Brittney Wright: 26:30

Good point. You don't. That's so real though. It's so real. But then you won't know how far you came. Exactly. And then you won't have the hope. That you should have moving forward of like, dang, I came from that and I'm much better than what I used to be. So yeah, you have to reflect but that's how we came up with each title. So if we're kind of some in some videos, I think in some, Sessions were kind of like, well, wait a minute. It's because we had to really think. And like we said, we just flow. We don't really, nothing is pre recorded. Nothing is talked about. We're just like, this is the title. Yeah. Show up at 2. We're recording. Oh, okay.

Noel Lawhorn: 27:05

Yeah. Oh yeah, that's the other part. So yeah, redefining you is not practice. It's not practice. It is not pre recorded. It is, ask Kevin. The editing is, that's what they were

DJ And?: 27:14

talking about. Y'all don't realize, we conversation before we started. They were talking about this editing process. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

Mic: 27:20

No, you're right. They keep talking about that's Kevin. Yes. Shout out

Noel Lawhorn: 27:25

to Kevin. You don't know you're an angel along the path, but like literally there's nothing. He can't believe it. That's why. He's not, he's not got to the point where we're sisters. I think he's still stuck in the part that you guys sit down and y'all just talk and flow.

Brittney Wright: 27:40

Yeah, yeah.

Mic: 27:42

To my head, there's A lot of research.

DJ And?: 27:46

Make sure things are going in the right direction. For instance, for us, we don't get off track. Because we can be troublemakers. Sure, sure,

Mic: 27:53

sure. That's why we sit here with these stools. We gotta stay right here in the center. We

DJ And?: 28:02

That's something I think that's important for people to hear specifically in the podcast world with the amount of information that's out there, content shows where you have folks who are trying to give you life advice, career advice, et cetera. One of the things I don't think people really touch on is failure. That's why I like what y'all do because we always talk about this all the time. Everybody loves to talk about their their success and being at the top of the mountain. Absolutely. No one was really born at the top of a mountain. You have to get there eventually. Right. And nine times outta 10, we're all gonna experience something that makes us feel like we're a failure. Yeah. Who makes it without the stumble? That's the, that's what makes the, that's the hero's journey. That's the story. You gotta, yeah. Like you have to, it's a devastating blow. Mm-Hmm. Mm-Hmm. And so to be able to hear somebody Mm-Hmm. Right. Talk about it and explain how you can also overcome. It's one of the things that, that does bring a lot of people in, and I know you all talk about your faith. It does bring people towards faith because you realize one of the things that you have to do to be able to see an outcome that is not there invisible, you have to have some kind of faith. So with your podcast, and I know just speaking about everybody having the opportunity to redefine themselves at any point in their life. Could you speak to our audience about how you all have embodied that? And could you give some words of encouragement to our audience and members who have also because people that let's start Yes, some people look they're listening to us because we don't know how to adult not as Millennials We actually suck at this. And so we don't have this is the reason why this podcast exists Again, it's funny. We're having a conversation. It was midnight But we were having a conversation and it was during the pandemic and we were just like, Hey man, we want to speak to people because we like talking. We're talkative people. We want to go out. We want to rub on, rub people, say, Hey, what's going on? Kiss baby, slap people on the behind, all that good stuff. Right. That's what we do. And since we could

Noel Lawhorn: 30:01

not It's like presidential.

Mic: 30:05

Yeah, yeah,

DJ And?: 30:06

we politic. We politic. And

Mic: 30:08

since we weren't Either one of y'all slapping behind, like, you know, maybe behind like randomly walking through the party, slapping booty. No, I can't see that. We'd do that. Yeah,

DJ And?: 30:20

we would never do that. But I have to say it to make it, you know, make light of it. But yeah, it's something that we saw. We were like, you know what? We want to be able to speak with people who know how to do what it is. People are not able to do themselves. And we're talking about people that have failed at creating business. No failed at, I did that once or twice. Once or twice. Once or twice, right? Failed at creative businesses, failed out figuring out how to find educational resources. Failed at figuring out how to. Take care of their health properly those types of things. And so we created our podcast as a I always like to call it a digital Rolodex So if you go to our podcast, they can go to our podcast They say, ooh, these people do this. You wanna see people that are

Mic: 31:01

doing cool stuff? Yup. Come look at our podcast.

DJ And?: 31:05

And then from there they can go and find and it creates a network, right? Yes. And so the cool thing about having you all on the podcast today is it gives a, an outreach. And this is one of Kevin's big things too. It's a big thing. He loves it. He said, we must have balance and I'm like, what do you mean we must have balance? We have to have men and women and we need the, the, the understanding and the perspective from both because without it, we are doomed to have failure. I'm like, good point. So with having you all on here specifically, specifically female oriented podcast in the sense of not just that you all don't give information to men or anything like that, but since you all are the heads of it, Could you explain that importance of being able to talk about it.

Noel Lawhorn: 31:54

Oh God. Okay. I'm going to start off it just, just quick. Cause I know that you're going to get your thoughts together and you're going to come in and like put it

DJ And?: 32:01

all to give y'all even more stress. You ready? Watch this. Watch this. I've, I've been married for a year, a month and a couple of days and hours. And so, yeah, this is,

Mic: 32:13

you see? Congratulations! That's what

Brittney Wright: 32:16

I'm saying! And let me just say this, we I know! So how do you Help me help you! Get my paper! Help me help you! Huge, huge, huge fans of marriage. And we are, I like to say we were just being Eve to the wrong Adam.

Noel Lawhorn: 32:42

We literally like, okay. So we said we were having this conversation in the back. We were not practicing these questions. So please continue to keep asking the questions. Cause we don't know the question, but we were in the room and that's exactly what we were talking about. So my, I can only give my perspective, right? So my perspective is. I had to take a moment to realize like why I was operating and feel the things that were failing. I am good at what I am good at. I am fantastic and great at right. But I was failing at some other areas in my life. Right. And the people that loved me or people I consider to be like close to me didn't want to be around me or they seemed a little standoffish. And it was like, what is going on with me? Right. And so I had to realize is because. I was in survival mode for so long. I grew up with, again, a a widow, a mom that was raising two kids because her husband died of a rare cancer at 32, and she just survived. She taught me everything she knew and just was like, Okay, just make it. Let's survive. And so when I go to her and I'm like, Oh my God, like, I'm just having this terrible day and I'm crying and she's like, Okay, like girl, you better get it together, you know, and so I grew up thinking that that was the way that you deal with emotions and heartbreak and, and failure is to process, sit down, plan it out and move past it. Right? Don't, don't, don't attach to your emotions. Don't, don't get too emotional with it. There you go. So I was, I was hard. I was, I was the epitome and definition of the independent woman. Right? But let me tell you, okay. That survival mode and then going through a marriage and being in survival mode all of that led to the devastating blow of divorce All of it did. So is the divorce something that I can say happened and I failed completely at life and like I, my family failed or any of that stuff? This is where the redefinition of myself had to come in because I had to look at it with new eyes and realize that I didn't have character flaws that were, you know, pushing people away. I had trauma that was coming out and speaking first before they knew who my, who I was in the character of me, because the character of me is nurturing. The character of me is this loving, compassionate person who's super passionate, who deals with people pleasing on a daily basis, you know, but, but you didn't see that first because I was in survival mode. I was Stifling emotions to make it to the next day. Okay. And so what that means and what I tell anybody is if you feel like you're looking around and life isn't going the way that you want it to go, or maybe you had this plan, but now you're on plan C because plan B epically failed. Plan A is closing up shop, you know, then I would tell you it's this is the internal work you need to sit down and realize what's going on with you Internally because there's something in you that has gotten you off the plan and off the path that is purpose for you You can't do you you're not gonna be you can't be successful in purpose work but coming into it with Trauma bags and being weighted down with it is not going to be the answer to it. And so That's the to to wrap it all back up with what she said I love marriage. The idea of marriage to me is like, that is rest, that is reassurance, that is security, that is, as a woman, you know, that is all these things, that is freedom, that is joy, that is hope, that is, that is love, okay, so that, that is marriage, and as a woman, speaking from a woman's perspective, when I get remarried, It is because y'all y'all will know. Okay. Y'all got remarried because there's her, there is her rest. That man is her piece, right? Because he's going to bring this sense of rest because we have to. We are wedded together on purpose. We are walking through a purpose journey together now. And so, I won't have to survive. I don't have to fight the mechanic. I don't have to argue with the HVAC technician anymore. I like these Frenchie things. I don't have to be all of these things. I don't have to be the breadwinner. And win every, and bringing every single dollar into my home. Scraping, scraping. There you go. I don't have to survive anymore. I don't have to make sure that I reordered the checks every month on this date because I, God forbid, I missed the check for my daughter's chorus t shirt. All of that stuff is pressure. All of that stuff is like when you miss one of those moments or you fail, quote unquote, as a mother because you didn't reorder the checks because the school only accepts checks. All of that comes down as failure to you, right? It puts pressure on you. This is what women are going through. This is what women, this is the female perspective of it. So when we say as females, we, we are seeking rest. We are seeking peace. This is why we're seeing this movement and shift happen in society is because people are realizing, oh my God. I can't keep going the way that I'm going or I'll forever be stuck in this loop and for me I had to redefine myself because I was like this is not who I was created to be Like at all I know who I am and I know what great characters I you know character traits and attributes I have But they can't shine if I'm still carrying all of this with me. I did not fail marriage does not fail You have to work it and you have to realize y'all are on purpose together. So when he doesn't wash your car, ladies, and you know, maybe he washed your car, but he didn't clean the inside out. Listen, unless you have been in the phase where you had to wash the car and get a stitch. step ladder to clean the top of it, dry it off, wash it side by side because it's going to dry on one side faster than go on the other side and then get a step ladder to do the top last and then go back and redry it real fast before the dry bubbles hit. And then you still, after you've done all that for two hours and then you still have to clean the inside out. Because the child got fruit snacks and everything else stuck to the window, and God knows the amount of french fries and pins that you have. Unless you have done that for years, okay? Years, you will appreciate the man that comes and washes the car. It don't have dry bubbles on it, but he may not have cleaned the inside of it. Yeah. That's okay. Grab you a Amaral wipe. Don't do it in the front yard. Go! Drive down the street and put your hazard lights on and do your Amaral wipe and wipe it down. And don't say nothing. Appreciate that, man. And be like, baby

Brittney Wright: 39:34

pink, you suck. Thank you so much for cleaning my

Noel Lawhorn: 39:38

car. You're not in survival mode anymore. Because, what does that kid do when you sit there for two and a half hours? You know, my wake up call, that's my story, and it's real. I was washing the car, and my, my seven year old daughter caught herself chasing a ball in the street and almost got ran over because I was washing, and I almost missed it because I was washing the car. Got you. And so to me, oh, you tied

DJ And?: 40:04

that in hard,

Noel Lawhorn: 40:06

in a good way. I'm telling it's real though. Yeah, it's real. Yeah. The perspective, like the people's experiences are real. And so for me, washing the car and stuff like that, and having to do that as a woman was like a failure to me. It was like, I cannot keep doing all of it. I don't have time to do all of this and be great. So now I'm just literally like rinsing the car off and, and, and driving it. There you go. Driving it through a drive thru.

DJ And?: 40:30

You put it on the rain. Yes. Soap on it on the rain and just drive. I hope it doesn't come

Brittney Wright: 40:34

off. That

Noel Lawhorn: 40:35

part. And I was like, oh, you can spray I

Mic: 40:37

was like, they got some

Noel Lawhorn: 40:39

type of windex stuff you can spray and like, water never comes on the car. We don't do that. Like, and then I go to my dad's house and he's like, why your car look like that? Listen to me. Like, until you have been divorced. Like, that was always my answer. He's like, that is always your answer. I'm like... Because I'm surviving it like I that that is the answer

DJ And?: 40:59

well You done made me look at washing a car in a brand new light. She got she got she got the greatest She could break it. Oh, they're great example analogy of explaining like the importance of having a helpmate.

Noel Lawhorn: 41:12

That's it. That's all Like oh my lord. It is literally your whole entire life whether it's marriage Friendships. Yeah. Community. Yeah. Anything. Anything. That is the whole purpose. We are not made to be single and singular. Isolated people. Isolated people, people who are isolated wind up in devastation and depression. Can I

DJ And?: 41:32

tell you something really quick? This is a little saying. This is a little quote. It says, alright, so man, meaning man, this human. Mm-Hmm, It's not meant to be alone. There go. Either you're going to be a God or you're going to be insane. Dang it. So pick which one you want and try to get there. That's if you want to be isolated a little bit. When you tell somebody like it's kind of hard being a guy. Yeah. Right. So let's go ahead and be insane then. You're going to be a hermit out in the middle of the woods. Right. By yourself. Right. And depending on what and how you were set up to do so, you might be okay at it. Most people

Brittney Wright: 42:03

are.

Mic: 42:06

I don't know about you. I mean, if you're supposed to be an ascetic, there ain't no other path for you. You're right. You're right. That ain't most people. That ain't most people, exactly. There's a point to not having bugs bite us

DJ And?: 42:18

in the ass. Say it. Not having to go and pick our food from the woods. Right. Well, I mean, I still pick my food, though. You do. You're right. That's different. Yeah, but then I like to go away from the bugs. See? And get away from the things biting on you. Yeah, you got

Mic: 42:31

to sit down, eat your

DJ And?: 42:33

rest

Mic: 42:33

of

Noel Lawhorn: 42:33

the time. Right. But wouldn't it be good if somebody was fanning you? Fanning the bugs away from you while you picked your food. Girl, I've been married

Mic: 42:39

10 years. What are you talking about? You don't even have a fan of me. You don't even have a fan of me. That's like first three, four years maybe. I don't know more fan than my dad. I don't

Noel Lawhorn: 42:49

get no damn fan. Then the answer is, if you crazy enough to be out there picking food while the bus is eating

Mic: 42:54

you, that's you get enough of me? There you go. I

DJ And?: 42:58

get it. The question about sisterhood because I like how you're talking about the fact that being isolated is not good I don't think isolation is good for most folks you have to be a very strong willed individual with really strong mental capacity to be isolated for long periods of time Yeah, why do that? Yeah, why do that? Why torture the mother? Yeah, yeah, exactly So, of course, I always like this is cool. I like how Tamia wrote this question So sisterhood is a safe space for women to be comfortable telling their stories and not feeling judged Now, as friends, not sisters, how often do you two hold each other accountable as business partners? And how do you separate friendship from business? It's a big question. For our audience, because of course, we're millennials who are trying to learn how to adult. So how do you make sure, we used to always tease it like this. A lot of people work with fam

Mic: 43:49

too. Yes. So how do you. 20 years of past traumas and

Brittney Wright: 43:53

things. Oh yeah. You stole my

DJ And?: 43:55

candy when I was at Halloween. You used to beat me for no reason. I didn't do nothing wrong. So how do you hold each other accountable and separate the friendship from the business?

Brittney Wright: 44:06

WHat I think is respect. And when I say respect, I mean in all aspects. We respect who each other, who we are individually. We respect that we've had a friendship since God knows when. We respect that even after when we finish this, we got Thanksgiving and Christmas and probably Sunday dinner and whatever cookout together. And that our daughters are going to be inseparable. We respect how each, each one of us operates. She's gonna be the process person. She's gonna be the snip, snap, this. And I'm gonna come in with the vision and the creation. And she already know half the stuff you done sent me I probably didn't look at. And you can just tell me when I get here. But we already, like, cause I, It's understood. We know each other. It's how we operate. But we respect that. She's not gonna get upset that, well why didn't you look at this yet? You already know I'm not going to so we don't even need to but however, I'm going to respect her enough That I know she gonna tell me to look at this Let me at least look at it while I'm in the car and then when I get here I don't take it personal, but she doesn't take it personal Yeah, and if we can or can't do something we say it and if we can't then we're like Oh, wait, my bad. We, we don't have problems apologizing and say, you know what? I messed up on that, right? But that also comes with a level of healing and understanding and also being accountable for ourselves. And then if there's something one of us hasn't done, when we do bring it to each other, it's not in a malicious or antagonizing way or disrespectful. Once again, respect because reciprocity, I believe it's a huge thing between both of us and how you are. Yeah, how you want something done or given to you must give that first. And so, she, I will, like I said, process person. You'll learn with us, and I, I feel like with a lot of friendships and family that most people don't ever get to touch on is, I believe God brings people in your life for what you need, not for what you want. Right? She's way more structured than I am. I don't operate in that. I am the vision creator and I just go off the flow. For you to do that. But I, but I still need the structure. And so sometimes she can be so structured, I'm like, uh uh, we just gotta flow because that's how we're gonna operate, right? And that's how our magic is made. That's how how everything just comes together. And so we honestly balance each other out with that and and feeling that Today might not be a good for that. Just feeling a good day. You're right. And that's another thing. It's not always about business We check on each other You know? Are you okay today? I know we're supposed to record, but if it's, if it's not a good day for you, we won't record. And don't take, you know, heat to that. Where somebody's like, well, we said we're gonna record. No, if that's not it, then we'll figure out another day. A lot of flexibility. And so, a lot of communication, a lot of respect. And at the end of the day, we're gonna be sisters past this. And so... I think those are

Noel Lawhorn: 46:58

the main parts of it. I'd like to add trust and grace in there as well. I think that over time, when you, like she said, when you have that balance partner, you have that person who kind of balances you out, and they offer you a level of grace that you're not used to, right? Like, especially for me, I can speak for me. She offers me a level of grace I'm not used to. I, for me, because I am so structured and so rigid and, and routine is everything in life, if one little thing could throw me off, you know what I'm saying, for like a month, and put me in a different head space, she just gently reminds me that, well, it's okay. You know, and I'm like, and sometimes I do get off the phone and I'm like, That's just because you live your life and freely like, you know, I wish life could roll that free for me But then I realized you know, she actually has a point It's like it's gonna be okay Like don't worry about today's trouble because tomorrow's gonna bring its own so I just need to move past this Knowing that there is something else tomorrow, you know, and so she's you from judging yourself. There you go And it's it that's That's the balance, but that's also what she said to tie it back is that's because we know each other. That's because we took the time, you know, even if it is, I take this into my businesses, I get to know my mentees, I get to know my staff at my daycare, I spend time to show them that I care enough to want to get to know. Them and have an interpersonal relationship with them because that interpersonal relationship allows them to be able to feel Trustworthy with me. They trust me and they open up for me that allows me an opportunity as a boss as a businesswoman as A business partner to be able to offer them grace And not come as harsh down as in, Oh, well, you were 15 minutes late. Like, you know, that just, that set the whole thing, you know, that set the whole day off, that the whole business. I need to write you up. No, because I know I now, because I've taken the time to get to know you on an interpersonal level. Now I know you're likely, this isn't really you every single day. So I offer you this same grace and I say, Hey girl, don't worry about it. I, you know, I was able to fill in for 15 minutes or such and such. We got it handled. Glad to see you. Let's keep it moving for the day. You'd be amazed what responses you get out of people for that. They probably look at

DJ And?: 49:16

you like you're crazy first. They

Noel Lawhorn: 49:17

look at me like I'm crazy. Because they're looking for my staff has been there 11, my staff has been there 11 years, 15, 19, and 20. With you? The daycare, yeah. Wow. Absolutely. Yeah, I have, we have staff in the daycare. It's a family owned daycare. We have staff in the daycare that raised me in the daycare. So when they, when we get a troublesome child and they bring me the troublesome child and say, you know, can you have a conversation with this child? They know to bring it to me because I used to be that kid in the daycare. And they're like, oh, how do you have this connection with this kid? And it's like, you're gonna know how to speak to this kid. You know, and then it's literally, it all plays out. Everything works together, like we talked about this week. It's like an ecosystem. It all works together, but it's really, honestly, if you break it down, it's reciprocity. Everything has a little bit of give and take and life has its own balance. It's just finding that sweet spot in there and where you operate. But I will add to all of what you said and say, trust and grace is a big part of it too, because you, we have to grace, we are all lifing. Life is lifing around us. We all deserve some grace.

Brittney Wright: 50:24

I wanted to add one more thing. I think it's very important to be partners with somebody who has the same values as you. Yes. Because that brings out character in all different parts of life. Because when life starts life and people will do anything, anywhere, and you're like, well, wait a minute. That's not part of my morals with it. It's mine, so let's roll. No, no, no, no, no. Because that business represents both of you. Yeah. And so I think sometimes we forget about that. So yeah, good point.

DJ And?: 50:53

Good point. Well, we had an excellent conversation today. It was dope!

Brittney Wright: 50:57

We had a good time. What's next for y'all? Life is, life is... I

Noel Lawhorn: 51:02

just dropped the plug. So, yep. Shayla's plug time. So, real estate is doing what real estate does. I'm still very blessed in the area. I know. I'm still closing deals left and right. Like, yeah, absolutely. But that is... That's a trust thing. Like I, I make sure that I'm very transparent and honest as a real estate agent. And I, I help any and everybody and I, I go to, I go to bat with you until the end. I'm, I guess what they define in the real estate where I'm a closer, we are going to close. Don't call me if you don't plan to close because I'm not the agent for you, right? And so real estate is still doing very well. And then I. For some reason, I guess, God decided to transition me into daycare as well. And so my family has a family owned, operated daycare for 12 years, and not only... This is why I gotta listen to Redefining You podcast, y'all, because, like, seriously, like, even from episode one... The things we talked about episode one has evolved so much now because in the middle of a divorce, call me crazy, right? In the middle of a divorce, I feel like I was led to invest my savings into my family daycare. Wow. Yes. So, we are now. Go

Mic: 52:15

transition. Just jump on the wave all the way. My

Noel Lawhorn: 52:17

as well. That is me. You have to know me to

Mic: 52:19

know. Just sew the parachute on the way down. It's fine.

Noel Lawhorn: 52:21

Yes. Two feet in. Sink or swim. Oh, I'm going. I know how to float. And that's actually

Brittney Wright: 52:26

how a lot of us work. That is me. She jumps first. I'm kind of like, mm. See what happens like that. Tell me how it go. And then if it's good, then I'll come too. If not, I'll help you out. But I'll throw

Noel Lawhorn: 52:37

a rope and so funny though, because that's a balance feature, right? Because I'm the risk taker and she's the patient person and she's convert. Y'all just co

Mic: 52:51

evolved together. That's what happened. Y'all just grabbed different parts and

DJ And?: 52:54

yeah. You already got this good. I'll work

Noel Lawhorn: 52:56

on other training. That's exactly. Yeah. And so I just call her whenever things feel like it's going haywire and I'm like, Did I really like I think my nose is underneath like help me out since I'm my nose is under the water. She's like well You just gotta be patient because like did you you know, maybe we missed this step or something i'm like Ding, I wake up the next morning. It's like boom everything so like Any fear and failure absolutely not because i'm gonna call when I feel like i'm approaching that race and she answers So yeah, but that that is the family daycare Thriving. What's the name of the day? The right daycare. W R I G H T. Because we are the rights. Yeah, we're, we're, we're right here in Somerville. Yes. So where y'all people

Brittney Wright: 53:39

originally from? Oh, for, we are a blended family. Is it the

Noel Lawhorn: 53:47

Hollywood? Like, don't ask me. That's why I was the law. That was blended into the right.

Brittney Wright: 53:52

So what's the right answer? So it's funny cause my mom and my dad were both right. They weren't related, but they were definitely rights of different parts. So, you can say Hollywood, Ravenel, but also James Island, because my dad has parts from James Island too. And so, yeah, so my parents married are right, right? So I'm just, yeah. I had to ask, because we have rights

DJ And?: 54:13

and greens in my family. My folks are from King Street and Georgetown.

Brittney Wright: 54:18

Yeah. That's why I asked. Could be, but it's a, it was a George

DJ And?: 54:20

Georgetown. That's where the rights are from. Mm-Hmm. We

Mic: 54:22

still have not done the South Carolina

DJ And?: 54:24

genealogy. We, we

Brittney Wright: 54:25

gotta break that down. Have to, because rights was a big name, especially during slave trade. It was, it was, but it's, you know, part of We can get, yeah, we'll get that later. But it was a prestigious name. It was.

DJ And?: 54:36

So that's why I was wondering. And then I already know yours because

Brittney Wright: 56:29

Yeah, it's okay.

DJ And?: 56:31
