Welcome back to The unleashed Podcast, I am your host, Kristina Sjolund. And if you are a new listener or a returning listener, maybe you recently found my podcast, I appreciate you for tuning in again because I know there are so many podcasts that are out there, you have many to choose from, and you chose me, so thank you again. And after last week's podcast and the response that I got, holy cow, it sounds like there are a lot of you out there who are wanting to speak your mind, to use your voice and really be you and who you truly are. Even last night, I got a phone call from a friend of mine who is a business owner, and she was like, Oh my gosh, everything that I wanted to say for so long. And I'm always afraid to put it out there, and we need to stop that. We need to own who we are, we need to speak our truth. If you don't know where somebody is coming from, if you don't know what their thought process is or what they stand for, if they even stand for anything. You don't know what their strength is, you don't know what kind of a person they are... You don't know if you can trust them, right? Listen in…

SHOW NOTES:
• Most likely, you're not going to unfriend somebody, just because they think differently, you're not going to stand outside and chant out of their name outside of their home because you don't like the way that they think. You're not going to blast them on social media, because most likely you are a fair-minded person. You have an opinion, everybody is entitled to their opinion, but we have been conditioned in this society that you cannot speak your mind, and if you are a business owner, you have even less of a right to speak your mind. Let me tell you right now, that is not true. And you need people to trust you. (2:33)
• How many of you guys have a My Pillow? Do you know how many I've got? I've got five My Pillows, and then two little ones, do you know why? It's not even that because they're comfortable. It's because I trust the guy. It's because I see him, I've read his story, I've listened to him. I trust that he has been upfront about his background, like you know his story, and he stands for everything that I stand for. (5:55)
• It's Young and the Restless. So here I'm watching it and they had a daughter, young little girl. Maybe it was Victoria, maybe. I don't know, whatever. They had a young daughter. Well then, you know, I watch it for the summer, and then the following summer, just one year later, that little girl was a teenager and I'm like...What did I miss? So I am like, Holy cow. I don't know, I know that that's probably a stretch as mistress, but I'm like, Oh my gosh, what am I getting at... What am I getting myself into?They're the back stabbing, the women that are fighting over the men who are cheating, and there's a constant barrage of lies and things that make us not trust, that make us question everything that comes across our eyeballs. We need to not be that. (11:09)
• Have you ever heard someone speak their mind? Have you ever heard someone speak their mind but get pushed back and then apologize because of the social media police? How many people do you know who have stood up for something that they believe in strongly, and then they come back and apologize for saying what they said or I shouldn't say saying what they said? Because sometimes, people do use really crappy wording, but if it's something that they truly believe in and they stand for, and then the social media police comes and says, you shouldn't think that way. And then they say, Oh, I'm sorry, I should have never said that. (15:16)
• My kids know if I say no to something, they don't even... I'm not saying this to sound tough or sound like a bad ass or anything like that, when I say no, my kids know, don't ask again. But it's not that I've instilled in them some sort of fear, it's because I have instilled in them a respect. They respect my answer of No because I say yes to a lot, and when I say No, there's always a reason behind it, and they know that, and if they want to know the reason behind it, they don't even have to ask because I'm going to give them the reason. It's never, No, because I said so, I grew up with that. I didn't like that answer. (19:51)
