Self-Understanding vs Self-Intellectualization
Flynn Skidmore's Tiktok Video, Click Here to Watch
On this week's episode, I share a video I scrolled across on Tiktok that may have changed my life forever and will at least impact how I process situations in the future.
The tool Flynn suggests is to use the question "What" instead of "Why" when situations occur in our lives.
Thank you for listening and I hope this conversation added something positive to your life in some way.

Where My Younger Self Thought I Would Be at 32 (Ray's Birthday Episode)
Today is my birthday (Jan 11th) and I've been thinking about popping back on the podcast for awhile to say "hi" and chat for a little bit.
In this episode, I let my boyfriend write a list of 14 things he thinks you should know how to do by the time you're 30. I go through them and let you know if I know how to do those things or not.
Then, I reflect on my younger 16-22 year old self and think about all the things she wanted, where she thought she would be at 32, and whether I'm any of those things.

475. Saying You're Okay... When You Are Not
Today, Ray takes a 14 minute clip from her recent book study with Caroline and Mikayla where they all talk for a few minutes on how they are figuring out how and when they are self-sabotaging.
0- 5:59 - Ray asks is there an area in your life you feel you keep hitting a wall in?
6:00 - 7:50 - Ray talks about focusing on how she plans more for what bad things could happen instead of the good things that could happen.
7:51 -12:07 - Caroline talks about trying to convince other people she is okay instead of being okay.
12:08 - 17:54 - Mikayla talks about waiting for doors to open and Ray chats about how our brains convince us not to be persistent because it makes us believe other people are luckier and more privilege than we are so it's easier for others to have doors open.
17:55 - 19:33- Ray talks about how her brain is wired to see negativity and sadness as more "realistic" and happiness feels fake or unsustainable to her sometimes.
19:36 - 27:50 - Ray thanks you for listening and talks about the power in having safe spaces/community. Not so you can stay in that bubble but so you can have a place to go, a place to be seen, a place to be heard so you can take a break from the world, rest, regroup and be re-energized for when you have to face tough moments, people, places and situations in the world. Community is important.

469. 30 Day Divine Feminine Challenge with Ray's Mentorship Community
Today, Ray introduces and interviews two of her mentorship clients who have agreed to do a 30 Day Divine Feminine challenge with her. The idea came from her community member, Mikayla, during a mentorship call and they all agreed to want to try it. This challenge is more for individuals who experience a monthly menstrual cycle so if you do not experience that then you can make modifications if you'd like to follow along.
Rules for challenge:
Meditate everyday (no specific amount of time)
Journal everyday (no specific amount of time or pages)
Follow a cycle syncing meal plan/incorporate some of the recommended foods
45 min- 1 hour cycle syncing workouts
3L of water per day (100 ounces)
Read 20 pages of a book
Embodiment practice
Progress photo on Day 1 and however frequent you'd like to take them after (for people with a current or past ED, I'd recommend trusting your intuition on this one and if you don't want to do it or don't feel comfortable you don't have to)
Inspiration for this challenge: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR379kH6/

465. Leaving Toxic Marriages with Angie
Angie is a full-time working, single mother of four. And back in December of 2022, she left a toxic marriage. This episode does mention experiences of domestic violence so I wanted to let you know that beforehand and I’m also putting resources for the domestic violence hotline in the description below in case you or anyone you know needs help getting out of a situation like this.
Domestic Violence Hotline Information
I don’t believe anyone goes around looking to get into a toxic relationship, but sometimes when we find ourselves in one, and it can be hard to see it.. But even harder to leave it. I'm very humbled by Angie's courage to share her experience with us and I ask you give her a lot of grace and compassion while listening to her story.

Christmas is in a couple of days which means New Years is just around the corner.
I see a lot of people talking about how their 2021 is going to be different because let's face it-- the whole world changed in 2020 and we've spent the past 12 months adapting. But today, I'm sharing a clip with y'all from THE GARY VEE. He's definitely in my top 3 favorite people on the internet. He is kind. He is compassionate and he's real as f***. I don't not own the rights to the clip I'm sharing with you guys today.
This in the link: https://youtu.be/KT7dBk3BNPw
I highly recommend you binging his Tea with GaryVee playlist also. If you haven't heard of GaryVee, I'm excited to introduce my listeners to him. Subscribe to his podcast, The GaryVEE Audio Experience. He's on every social media platform @garyvee. I hope his content brings value to your life like it has to mine.

Now, look at that activity. Write 3-5 reasons why you roll your eyes or get frustrated when they do it or even worse (they ask you to do it with them)
After listing the reasons, look for a few seconds at what you wrote.
Could there be some areas of your life where you are denying yourself of something you want to do out of pure enjoyment because you have the same beliefs about your own enjoyment listed above?
-It’ll cost too much money.
-People will think I’m self-absorbed.
-I’m afraid it will take over my life.
-People will think my hobby/passion is stupid.

Today Ray re-publishes her very first episode and gives a little commentary at the end of the episode as well for how it felt to listen back to where she was when she created Good Day with Ray.
This is the old audio description of the podcast from 2020*
For those who don't know me, my name is RayLynn. Some friends and family call me Ray. About a week ago, I was mail carrier working extra hours, not taking vacations, and paying off loads of debt. I was doing jiu jitsu and practicing yoga, daily. Everything in my life felt as if it was falling in place. I was on a roll until my foot snapped beneath me. Literally. I broke my foot. I'm not ready to say how. All you need to know is when I did, my foot made three loud pops that sounded like 2x4s slapping together. I fractured three bones going to my middle toes. And just like that, I'm out of work for 6-8 weeks. Which brings me here... Even though I can't drive, do my job, go grocery shopping by myself, or workout, I can do this. I can start the short-form podcast I've been thinking about. The podcast I've envisioned where I share content like podcasts, books, quotes, or stories that were interesting, helpful, or inspiring to me. My only intentions for this podcast is for it to make you smile, feel encouraged, and brings in some inspiration.

Whatever avenue you have contact with me, use that resource to reach out! Thanks everyone!
Steps for today's episode:

328. What's Stopping You?
Original Air Date: Feb 2, 2022*
Hello! I'm back! So there is a few updates in this episode, such as, my new intention to publish two podcasts a week and if you like the daily episodes I am considering making a subscriber podcast. More updates on that on a later day. Because I will be recording less frequently, the episodes will most likely be longer.
Today's episode is all about why it's been hard for me to produce an episode in awhile... yes, I did go on a bender and watch all the Star Wars series in two weeks but mainly what I noticed was my brain kept throwing the brake on me publishing a podcast because it wasn't how I said it was going to look.
So for today, I want you to figure out... what have you been slamming the breaks on? Is there a vacation you've wanted to schedule? Have you wanted to look for a new job? Do you want to move? What do you want and why haven't you gotten started? Is it because you're afraid you don't know what step 20, step 16 or even what step 2 looks like? That's okay.
The assignment today is figure out step one. That's it. Whether it's a google search or just jotting down the top five places that have been on your mind to visit. Do step one today.
Thanks so much for being patient with me as I figure out my new schedule.
Blessings,
-Ray

298. S3.EP12-Day 12: "Sacred Storm"
Original Air Date: Dec 3, 2021*
Meditation: https://youtu.be/Y6QTdvbu0uI
Power exercise is listed below: Warning....(Do not do if you do not want to see or are not ready for a major change in your life.)
Items you may want to use but not required: Lavender oil, Incense, 3 Candles, and a Pillow or Blanket
Items required: A piece of paper, A quiet space, a bowl of water, and yourself.
Step one: Go to the room of your choice, grab your journal or piece of paper, and your small-medium size bowl of water. 2-3 cups of water will do. (If you can, say a blessing over the water.) If you have other items, gather your items like your pillow, candles, incense. If you have lavender oil, put 3-5 drops in the small-medium sized bowl.
Step two: Put on the meditation music above, light the candles and incense (if you have it). Then, journal about something you desperately want in your life. Write down any emotion that comes up. Anger, disappointment, rage, confusion, frustration, etc. Leave nothing out. Do this for 5-10 minutes while the music is playing.
Step three: Allow the music to keep playing but stop writing.
Step four: Cleanse your energy. Picture Divine Light cycling through your energy system (from the crown of your head, down your spine, through your legs, through your feet, down into the Earth). Do this three times.
Step five: Dab the water on your forehead, on your throat, on your head and lastly on both of your feet. This is a blessing from the Divine.
Step six: Sit cross-legged or on your knees.
Step seven: Then whatever it was you wrote on the paper, speak it. Say it. If you need someone to focus the energy on, speak it towards the lighted candles or towards the window with the light spilling in. Let out anything you want to say. This is your moment to breakdown. This is the sacred storm inside of you the Universe wants to calm, but before it can do that, it needs you to acknowledge its presence. Acknowledge it is in control. Use this moment to release your control of the situation. You can speak for as long as you like. 10 minutes or an hour.

289. S3.EP3-Day Three "Commit": Answer the Call by Doing
Original Air Date: Nov 24, 2021*
Today's episode is all about taking a step. A step towards what it is your soul feels called to do. A step more into yourself.
This step can sometimes cause a shedding... if this happens, don't be afraid. This is normal.
In order to allow the new to come in, we have to make space for it.
The old needs to fall away.
Here is today's meditation. It's for the solar plexus chakra: https://youtu.be/T9mHRpKL7r4
My only recommendation is to listen to it while you are doing something you have felt called to do. Maybe while painting or while playing the guitar. While decluttering your house. Anything your soul has felt called to do, listen to this meditation while doing it.
Today is all about doing. It's about acting on the call of your soul.

286. S2.EP5- Manifestation: Is it Real and How to Practice it
Original Air Date: Nov 18, 2021*
Today's chat is about manifestation. I have been someone who has faded in and out about believing in this practice... or maybe that's not the right word.
I've faded in and out of practicing manifestation.
Every time I've tried it, it worked. I have been reminded of this lately so I've been giving it another shot.
In today's episode, I talk about how I do it. I'm listing the YouTube recommendation and practice below.
1) Pick out three areas in your life: home, health, relationship, finances, job (just some examples)
2) Get a pen and paper. Write down what you want and THEN write what is the emotions associated with this manifestation. (Safety, connection, community, freedom, etc)
3) Turn on this music in the background (or pick your own): https://youtu.be/fAtrjQ2f9ys
4) Set your timer for 10 minutes.
5) Either write a journal entry for 10 minutes or speak out loud like you are talking to a friend about the life you are envisioning. Talk about it like you already have it or at least talk/write about the steps you will take.
6) Make it a consistent practice. Something you do everyday or at least 3-5 days a week. Do it for about 3 weeks and let me know how it goes.

EP 271- If You Are Using THIS Then You're a Target.
Original Air Date: Sept 8, 2021*
Ignorance is bliss... they say. In the moment, it's nice not to know. It's nice not to know there are harmful chemicals in our food. It's nice not to know how not exercising regularly can increase our risk of cancer. It's nice not to know that bread, pasta, and sugar is causing early Alzheimer's.
I'm with you when I say, I'd rather not know that... but because I do, I've changed my behavior. I do something with the information and try my best to limit certain foods and make sure I do physical activity regularly.
What if I told you, you need to do the same thing with your phone?
Not a secret, right?
The minute I say that you know what I mean. You know what I mean because you feel it. You feel the guilt after you sat scrolling on your phone for too long. It feels similar to the guilt we feel after eating too much pizza and ice cream and fries and whatever else... consume consume consume until you are rolled over on the couch grabbing your stomach and regretting every decision you've made.
Our phones, our apps, and our social media triggers these feelings as well. For me, someone with mental health issues, I know it's happened when my behavior starts changing. My mood is unbalanced. I'm angry. I'm tired... but I haven't been exercising. I've just been on my phone a lot.
I recommend "The Great Hack" and "The Social Dilemma" today on the podcast. Both can be found on Netflix. They expose what is going on behind the scenes and why such great platforms like Facebook and Instagram remain "free" but they are not free.. nothing is free.
Everything comes at a cost.

From there, I shift gears and go into a whole other topic of people pleasing and how I'm struggling in some of my relationships about a multitude of topics. This episode was made to attempt to give me some clarity and help me calm down and get some perspective on these situations. I also hope it helps you in someway if you are dealing with something similar.

EP 266- Do You Ever Struggle With Identity?
Original Air Date: Sept 1, 2021*
In today's episode, I recommend a podcast episode by Brene Brown on her Unlocking Us podcast only available on Spotify. It's an episode I listened to around Christmas time last year while my foot was still broken and Brene, Dax Shepard, and Tim Ferriss have a very enlightening conversation about how they react when their identity is threatened. I link the episode below with specific time stamps in the event you don't want to listen to the whole 1hr 40 min podcast and would only like to listen to the 12 min section of their conversation. It's worth listening to. It's a struggle I see myself having year after year and something I think I'll continue to experience for the rest of my life.

EP 264- Vaccinated and Unvaccinated: Feelings About Being Called Sheep and Murders (Part 3 of 3)
Original Air Date: Aug 28, 2021*
I'm very appreciative to my friend, Candice, for doing this three part series with me. This conversation felt very refreshing for me. It's been hard to not lash out on social media when I see people being rude and dehumanizing to each other. But, I pulled back and I reflected and chose this outlet to put some opinions and views out there while also inviting someone into the conversation that has a different status and point of view as myself. I truly believe (above everything) the breakdown of communication between parties will be the demise of our democracy and nothing else. We have to repair our fractured structure of communication or our freedoms will not transcend our generation. Thank you for being with us on this journey and I hope it added something to you.

EP 257- How I Stayed Calm During a Potential Dog Attack & Other Events, Yesterday
Original Air Date: Aug 19, 2021*
As I was on the phone with my mom as my day was closing she said, "Man Ray, you've had quite the day... a dog attack and an IRS letter."
She didn't even know about how I almost passed out on my route due to dehydration and I didn't tell her. I just laughed and said, "Yeah, I guess."
Oddly enough, I felt calm. Calmer than I had felt in days... and I felt like it was only because of one small change.

EP 251- A Spontaneous Weekend Retreat: Gratitude & A Walk (Day One)
Original Air Date: Aug 13, 2021*
This morning, I did something I NEVER do during the week. I barely even do it on the weekend anymore and that is... Listen or watch something that feeds my soul. Today, I clicked on a SuperSoul Sunday episode on YouTube titled Sarah Ban Breathnach: Losing Everything, Finding Yourself
It was a story about how a lady gained a fortune by writing a book on gratitude then lost her way. I found it to be a really good reminder on how we must always focus on the simple miracles in life and how everything that glitters isn't gold. Take a moment to listen to it today if you can.
Also, we are going to do a spontaneous weekend retreat together.
Today, the activities today are simple: Write down 3 gratitudes and go for a silent (no headphones) walk for 30 minutes to an hour by yourself. If you have kids and have to bring them, do that. But really try to do it by yourself, if possible.
Tune in tomorrow for day two's retreat activity.

EP 240- Why Aren't You Taking the First Step?
Original Air Date: Aug 2, 2021*
Today's episode is about my new podcast that dropped today called Rise, Grind, Relax. It should be available on all platforms now. I share what it felt like to post one of my worst episodes to date. I'm willing to mess up publicly so you have the courage to mess up privately. Your first step probably doesn't even require you falling on your face in front of other people.
Go subscribe if you have a dream, a goal, or a business you are trying to achieve AND you already have a full-time job that you have to navigate this desire around. It will be all about creating the time. Finding courage. Pushing past excuses. And getting things done with grace.

EP 235- Why We Feel Angry Sometimes and Can't Turn it Off...
Original Air Date: July 28, 2021*
Recently, I had an episode of not just anger... but rage.. Literally was plotting ways to ruin someone's life.
I know, not my finest hour.
But hey, if people want you to treat them better shouldn't they act better?
Personally, I came to my senses and realized that punching people in the face or ruining someone's life wasn't the answer. All in all, I saw how revenge could make me just like the human that was pissing me off.
In this episode, I present some suggestions as to why we may be angry and what we can do to help ourselves in these situations.

Original Air Date: July 4, 2021*
I struggled a lot this week with a decision in my life. I truly it led to me having some sort of panic attack during the week. I have a direct connection with God so when I was asking, "What direction should I go?" The Universe kept saying, "Either way you go, you will be okay."
This answer was very frustrating.

EP 209- Part One: Showing Up on Social Media & Feeling Like Too Much with Meleah Christensen
Original Air Date: June 30, 2021*
Hey everyone, so we are welcoming my friend, Meleah, back on the podcast. Meleah was kind enough to help me navigate an emotional hangover I had last week when I share some personal experiences on social media. I shared about the harassment and rape I experienced two years ago, how I handled it, and how on the outside it looked like I was ignoring people and outgrowing certain friendships when really I was just trying my best to keep my life together and not let those experience overshadow my whole life and well-being. During this time, people burned bridges with me and assumed things about me that weren't true. It was no fault of theirs. It was partially because I didn't know how to communicate what I was going through and recently I've been speaking out about talking and asking questions with our friends and family members before writing them off because they aren't making time for you (or for me). I've gotten some pushback around this and it's why I shared about this hard time in my life with the intention to cultivate some compassion and forgiveness for people because they may be going through a storm they don't know or don't want to talk about.
I hope you enjoy part one of this episode.

This episode is going to be a part of Sermon Sundays... it's a working title. I'm no preacher and I have no single spiritual text I read from so I don't think they should be called Sermon Sundays, but today, I use Rumi's quote as the anchor for today's podcast:
“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
I also reference Buddha where he said, "Be the change you want to see in the world."
I chat about how much suffering I go through and we all go through when we have this perception that we need to change the government, change our co-worker, or change our family members or partners. And I do my best to point out how much power there is in pointing the finger at ourselves and making the necessary changes.

EP 204- Stir the Pot Saturdays: Know Who You Are and Let Them Go
Original Air Date: June 26, 2021*
Saturdays are going to be for pushing on the edges of accepted societal mantras. Today, I'm pushing back on the "Know your worth and move on." And suggesting or showing a perspective of a new way of looking at it or changing that language to... "Know who you are and let them go."

EP 203- Define Yourself or Don't Define Yourself... That is the Question?
Original Air Date: June 25, 2021*
In today's episode, I kind of flesh out this idea that I mentioned in EP 202 with Candice McDaniel where I shared that I don't define myself as a "nice person." This comment made me realize there is an area in my belief system I haven't shared with you yet and that is staying aware of how I define myself.
I typically look at labels and definitions of myself like hats... I will wear certain hats for certain occasions or conversations but when I feel they are going against the truth of who I am or if I feel the need to show up differently in that moment I will put on another hat. I hope you extract some interesting ideas or thoughts from this podcast.
Take what serves you and leave the rest.

EP 202- Jiu Jitsu: Coming Back from Injuries and Being Women in a Male Dominated Sport with Candice McDaniel
Original Air Date: June 24, 2021*
In this interview, Candice and I touch on a few topics like how we came back and why we stayed on our jiu jitsu journey after sustaining injuries in the sport. We were hesitant to chat about the injuries because we really want people to try jiu jitsu but it's what came up for us to talk about. And honestly, I'm glad it did.
She couldn't put pressure on her leg for eight weeks and I couldn't work for 3 months because of my injuries... and we still show up. We wouldn't do that if it wasn't something we love or it wasn't something we got value out of.
The episode isn't about our falls... it's about how we got back up and kept going.
We also chat about why we started jiu jitsu. Both of our reasons were very different which has resulted in very different goals and mindsets while training. She started because after she tried it, loved it, loved the workout it provided, and found out we were good at it.
I started because I needed a practical self-defense tool in my every day life.
I hope you enjoy this podcast. We laugh, a lot, because we are best friends and I'll always be grateful for jiu jitsu because it brought us together

EP 197- Unpopular Opinion: Stop Cutting People Off
Original Air Date: June 18, 2021*
This podcast is messy. I don't know that I have any answers to offer. It probably just leads to more questions but that's okay. I'd rather stutter talking about the conversation, saying all of this without a perfect bow, rather than keeping all of it to myself.
At the end of the day, I just think there is room to ask more questions to the people we love.

EP 188- Why Are Romantic Relationships So Hard?
Original Air Date: June 9, 2021*
I saw this question on Youtube and I just wanted to talk aloud, unprepared, about my first impressions of this questions. What I see coming up in my own romantic interests. What I see is serving me and what isn't. Etc. These are just a few of my viewpoints/experiences. You may benefit from the rambling and maybe you won't, but at the very least, I hope it offers some kind of insight and information that adds peace or perspective in your life in some way.

EP 187- It's Fair to See the Full Picture
Original Air Date: June 7, 2021*
In this episode, I ruminate over how I feel about sharing yesterday's podcast. It was one of the easiest things for me to say while also being one of the hardest podcasts to put on the internet but like I say in this episode, "I think it's fair."
I think if I share the good days with you then I need to also share the bad. If I share when I'm feeling peace, I should be brave enough to share when I'm feeling broken or unsure.
I hope at the end of the day it keeps you comfortable and connected to me for the right reasons. I never want to be seen as anything other than an equal to you.

EP 186- My Challenge with Suicidal Ideation [unedited]
Original Air Date: June 6, 2021*
This is not a part of my life I open up about a lot. Like most people who struggle with depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, I keep that part of my life to myself because it's not something I feel like a lot of people struggle with or can understand. I'm also a very independent person who doesn't like to burden other people and typically talking about how I thought about killing myself on a random Tuesday could really throw off someone else's day.
I've been really stressed out lately and uncomfortable at the idea of quitting my job. It's triggering these thoughts more frequently and I feel like talking about them helps.
Also, I have a lot of daily listeners and I feel like I share with you my day to day life and yet this is a pocket of my life I try to keep hidden.
I'm often reminded after I talk about my challenges with mental health that this is precisely the reason I was gifted this challenge.
Because I will talk about it.
Depression, anxiety, and suicide are such silent diseases in our society. It's silent because there is so much shame around feeling broken.
I've done more thought-work, yoga, and meditation than anyone you know.
I don't have a problem being happy or being positive.
This is just something that hits me when I feel overwhelmed and stressed. When I feel overwhelmed and stress, my brain falls to a feeling of hopelessness that I often have to breathe through and wait for it to pass.
I'm sharing this on the podcast because talking about it has saved my life. And I hope sharing some of my current struggles could maybe help save someone else's.

This episode is centered around the idea: "The lives we want aren't just going to come to us. We have to create them."
I talk about how the Universe told me to forget everything I know about money and go into it with a beginner's mind. I'm still processing this. And how when I think about living the life I want, the only thing holding me back is money.
I talk about a few topics in this episode. I feel I bounced around a lot but I hope you enjoy it and it brings value into your life in some way.

1) We don't like to talk about it.
2) We are afraid to admit how much we want it.
I hope you enjoy the episode. I was kind of fleshing out my idea as I talk so bare with me. It's a hard topic to talk about anyway so give me a little grace as you listen

In this episode, you will learn some thing about me that you didn't know and may not want to know, but that's okay. This is not something I talk about often.

Thank you for listening.

EP 158- Holding on to Someone Else's Blessing
Original Air Date: May 5, 2021*
Today's prayer: "Thank You Universe for guiding me."
The episode today is about the comfort of being guided. I share a little bit about how the more I've been guided by the Universe the more comforted and sure I am about the desires of my heart coming into fruition. That saying "thank you" prayers are an act of faith instead of some delusional, airy fairy concept.
I also chat about the comfort I have around letting jobs, people, and other situations in my life go because holding on to things when the Universe asks me to release it could be a way of me holding onto someone else's blessing.

The prayer: Thank you God for the people in my life (especially the ones who tell me I'm wrong, the ones who say I'm not enough, the ones who have walked away from me.) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Original Air Date: May 1, 2021*
This is my longest solo episode to date I believe... I didn't really get into everything that happened on day four of my journey in Austin and what all it brought up for me. I just want to remind listeners.. these are my experiences. You can believe or not believe what I say. You can agree or disagree. I hope to facilitate a community of people who (like me) are open to each others perspectives and experiences in order to develop a deeper sense of connection, community and understanding for one another.

EP 146- America is a Marriage
Original Air Date: April 9, 2021*
Is Good Day with Ray talking politics...? My intention for this podcast is to introduce new ways to view the country and hopefully encourage us to see our country like a team/relationship instead of one side against the other. My intention also for throwing these ideas into the world is to inspire and cultivate better communication (neighbor to neighbor). It is my belief those are the core of our issues. I rarely talk about political issues because I think the nuts and bolts of the situations are deeper than taxes and civil rights. It's my belief that the root of the issues are lack of communication, cancelling of ideas, finger pointing, etc. Until we cultivate a space where Americans can safely express our ideas with maturity, it doesn't matter what the issues are... they will not see progress without a healthy communication dynamic.

EP 145- One Star Review: How to Deal with Negativity When You Have The Courage to Be Seen
Original Air Date: April 8, 2021*

EP 144- Day Seven: Allow
Original Air Date: April 7, 2021*
It's already been seven days... I feel like that flew by. I hope everyone is doing well this morning. Today's word is allow and the prayer is: God, show me where I'm not allowing you to guide me or support me. Prayers to this affect are the focus for today's journey.

EP 142- Day Five: Forgive
Original Air Date: April 5, 2021*
Forgive. This word was very synchronistic in the 7-week program I'm following where my lesson today was about Letting Go of the Past.
And the quote my lesson opened up with is:
"Pause at the word: "for-give." "For-to-give." Forgiveness is such a gift that "give" lives in the word. Christian tradition has tried to make it meek and passive word; turn the other cheek. But the word contains the active word "give," which reveals its truth. -- Michael Ventura, "Meeting the Shadow"
I hope you enjoy today's anecdotes and the questions I read from my lesson today. It can be hard to reflect on what we may have brought or still bring to a situation that we can't let go of, but I found A LOT of freedom in reflecting on these questions today from my lesson. My intention for sharing them is hoping they support someone else as well in their forgiveness journey.

EP 141- Day Four: Answer
Original Air Date: April 4, 2021*.
Today's episode, Blanche is acting up... I chat about how sometimes when I ask for an answer from God and it's not one I like I will usually file it away and ask for another solution. As a result, I feel like I keep dealing with the same problem. Sometimes the answer is the answer and we just have to trust and have faith things will work out.

Original Air Date: Mar 31, 2021*.
Today, I share how I learned a valuable lesson through my sport of jiu jitsu. I learn a lot about life through jiu jitsu and it's why I keep pushing through it.

EP 136- What Are Your Intentions?

“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure that you seek.” –Joseph Campbell
This was such a hard episode to record. I appreciate y'all holding space for me this morning. I didn't edit the podcast because it's another hard one that I'm not sure I would have posted if I heard it back.
Tell the truth even if your voice shakes.
Also, I want to say a prayer for Will and his family and friends. He took his life on the 23rd. I also want to say a prayer for all the people who are struggling in similar ways. I pray God keeps them and encourages them.

EP 129- Commitment is a Blessing
Original Air Date: Mar 23, 2021*.
One thing I don't mention in the video is how much prayer I've integrated into my daily routine. I am the foundation for my life but I'm realizing as I'm leveling up that I need more "outside" assistance from a power greater than myself. I am of no religious affiliation but I still pray and it's worked WONDERS in my life and helps me cultivate more patience and joy while I'm journeying towards the life I want to see.

EP 128- I Don't Feel Like It
Original Air Date: Mar 22, 2021*.
"I don't feel like it." Do you say that a lot? When it comes to working out? Journaling? Yoga? Anything that supposedly makes you feel better after but in the moment you just don't wanna? Today's episode is about how I was feeling that way this morning and I hope this episode is a little reminder that there is still a little bit of time left today to do something you don't feel like doing

EP 127 - 5 Minute Meditation
Original Air Date: Mar 21, 2021*.
I just finished the book "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art" by James Nestor.
This book has educated me on how taking time to have a conscious breathing practice can benefit aspects of my health. I truly believe this is why yoga helped me with my depression and anxiety. I had been meditating for years but I would sit and ruminate on my problems. Yoga was the first thing that gave me postures and my breath to focus on and it's improved my mental health drastically.
In the book, Nestor educates us on how the breath can help with chronic fatigue, headaches, sleep apnea, snoring, autoimmune diseases and more.
Please return to this meditation anytime you'd like.
It starts around 4:40 if you want to fast forward in the future and don't need the reminder about breathing into the belly.
The technique I'm using is a simple 6 count through the nose and 6 counts out through the nose. You could also breath out through the mouth if you'd like just be sure to breathe in through the nose if possible.
Thank you for listening. I hope you enjoy

EP 124- Then, I'll Be Happy
Original Air Date: Mar 18, 2021*.
This was kind of an out loud journal. A realization. I don't really have any answers on the topic but I'm wanting to take this awareness into my life so I can embrace the moment instead of always feeling like I'll be happier somewhere else, with someone else, and/or with something else.

EP 120- The SEED (Must Listen)
Original Air Date: Mar 14, 2021*
Today, I talk about how you should view your vision for your life, for your relationships, projects, new businesses as a seed.
You can't scream at a seed to grow.
You can't rush the process.
It takes consistent, daily or weekly action to see the results we desire for the major areas in our life. It also takes good soil and I talk about that a little bit as well.

In this episode, I share what my experience has been so far and what my brain has been telling me to try to get me to turn the TV back on.

So, I did this brain dump on Monday. It's where I set my timer for 15 minutes and wrote out every task I wanted to get done for the week. Then, I took that list, put the tasks into my calendar with how much time I was going to take to complete them, and scheduled my week out like that.
But first, it started with making this list. Tomorrow I'll give you tips on how to schedule them.

EP 104- Struggling with Food & Weight Most of My Life
Original Air Date: Feb 27, 2021*. I've only used a scale three times in 2 years. You may wonder why I do that.
In this Story Time Saturday episode, I give a small glimpse of when I started to use food as a way to cope with feelings. I chat a little bit about how I struggled with body image issues in middle school and high school. Then, I go into how working out and eating "well" almost made me pass out at work and basically gave me an eating disorder in college.
I don't use a scale or even keep one in my apartment because my brain has a number it wants me to be and I'm not sure if I will ever be able to maintain that number consistently. Even if I could, I'm convinced it will come up with a lower number because historically I have reached my goal weight and it just kept pushing me to go lower and lower and lower until I just said enough.
This episode is a little bit about that journey.

-we chat about how assuming people in society were just overnight successes can hold so many people back from following their dreams

We chat about how no one wants to be looked at like a sleazy sales person and at the same time how not offering our gifts and services to the world loudly and consistently could be holding others back along with yourself. And y’all we talk about a lot more and this was just part one. I hope you enjoy this interview I did with Cora-Lynn.

Original Air Date: Feb 6, 2021*. So yesterday was the end of my mini series. I just felt like I really wanted to share some hard moments in my life so I could paint a better picture of how I got to where I am today.
Also, I want to keep sharing my stories. Instead of sharing them all at once, I will tell a new story every Saturday. They will be from my travels, from times in Yellowstone, from childhood, etc. I'm excited about this idea. It will be easier for me to do than to just share every day back to back.

79: When Days Weren't so Good with Ray (pt.1)
Original Air Date: Feb 2, 2021*. This will be a mini series about my life up until this point. I feel these stories are valuable to share since every day I wake up and it's my mission to bring something good to your day but you may not know why I do it.
And, you need to know why I do it.
It's because for about a decade of my life I felt like I woke up and lived through nothing but bad days. Days that were so bad, so overwhelming, and hopeless that I perpetually thought about ripping myself out of this world too soon.
And what a f****** shame that would have been.
So, I will be sharing a series of stories about that time in my life. My intention for sharing is to show how I didn't change my perspective, question my thoughts, and push myself to do self-care practices because it's "a good idea" and "everyone's doing it."
I did it so I could stay here because without the changes I committed to make for my mind and body... I don't know where I'd be.

Original Air Date: Jan 26, 2021*. I won't lie to y'all... sometimes I get upset when I see my friends sharing other people's content and not mine. It stings a little. But, I've had to do an ego check and realize maybe my content isn't for them.
Maybe they don't understand what I'm doing.
Shoot, they may not even like my podcasts. That's okay...
The thing is I get messages every day from people who do. I get likes and comments from people who are watching and are listening. Every day I just trust my messages and what I'm trying to spread is getting to the right people, and I keep going.
Keep going. And if you haven't started yet because you are waiting for the support from your inner circle, I'm here telling you to START. Because if I would have waiting for all my closest friends and family to pat me on the back and tell me what I was making was good... I would have stopped this podcast on day two.

70- If You Count the Losses, Be Sure to Count the Wins
Original Air Date: Jan 24, 2021* Our brain is an expert at pointing out where we could have done better, how we could have shown up more, and making us feel like there is always more to do and be. And while I love developing and accomplishing things as much as the next person, I also make sure I pause when my brain is telling me I should have done this better or done more of this.
The reality is, nothing is ever done.
This week, I had to give this same pep talk to myself when I was feeling overwhelmed and like I didn't do enough. I had to encourage myself that if I was going to count my losses then I needed to be fair to myself and count my wins also.

68- No One is Going to Knock on Your Door
Original Air Date: Jan 22, 2021* Today, I quote Elizabeth Gilbert's book Big Magic. I remember listening to this book about two years ago while I was driving on my mail route and this section of the book almost made me run off the road... lol. Not really, but my brain came to a screeching halt when she said these words...
“I knew that nobody was ever going to knock on my apartment door and say, “We understand that a very talented unpublished young writer lives here, and we would like to help her advance her career.” No, I would have to announce myself, and so I did announce myself. Repeatedly. I remember having the distinct sense that I might never wear them down—those faceless, nameless guardians of the gate that I was tirelessly besieging. They might never give in to me. They might never let me in. It might never work. It didn’t matter.”
This made me realize no one knows what I'm doing in the confines of my apartment. No one knows that I have a dream of being a coach, a writer, a mental wellness advocate, singer, etc. No one would even know I was a podcaster if I didn't post clips on my instagram, share them to my stories, or talk about it with friends.
With that realization, I also realized no one was just going to walk up to me and give me what I wanted without showing up and showing out for it. I have to make myself known. I have to submit the stories for people to SEE. I have to share the posts for people to READ. I have to publish the podcasts for people to HEAR. I have to make the phone calls and be willing to hear YES or NO.
I can't just WANT IT.
I have to show up and DO IT.

Original Air Date: Jan 21, 2021*. When I first started this daily podcast, it was just something for me. It was something I could do creatively to keep my mind in a good space and a way I could connect with others while my life... was changing for a season.
In this podcast, I go over some things I didn't know I would find or cultivate within myself by being more consistent especially in a more public way.
I hope this podcast inspires you to do more of that thing you think will make your heart happy and if you don't know what that thing is yet then send me a message at goodddaywithray@gmail.com and we can start talking about it. Let's find your thing.

65- Ask Yourself This to Have a Better Day
Original Air Date: Jan 19, 2021*. Hey everyone. I've been asking myself this question every morning for about a week now and it's really making me more grounded, focused, and happier.
It's from "The High Performance Planner" I'm using by Brendon Burchard and the question is:
If one word could describe the kind of person I want to be today, then that words is... and why I chose it is...
Writing this down every morning has helped me stay more centered, focused, and clearer throughout the day. With this clarity, I feel it's also helped me have a better day and I hope it helps you too.

Original Air Date: Jan 18, 2021* Hello everyone!
I hope you are all having a great morning. I'm taking this day to honor (like everyone else is) one of the most influential men in our history that I'm truly grateful for.
I was reading this book by Adam Grant recently called "Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World." Rightfully so, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has a section in this book surrounding his most famous speech. I loved learning a little bit more about this speech, how he prepared for it, and how he didn't prepare for it. I hope y'all enjoy this little piece of history I stumbled across.

Original Air Date: Jan 17, 2021*. Today's episode is about Questions. I give y'all a list of seven questions that will ground you, challenge you, and get you excited for the week ahead.
1) What went well this week?
2) What could have been better? And, how can we prepare to do better?
3) Who did I help or have a meaningful conversation with?
4) Who can I tell thank you to for helping me this week?
5) What something to look forward to this week?
6) What's something I need to do but I've been putting off?
7) If I was my coach/mentor, what would I tell myself?
The answers don't have to be elaborate. This exercise probably took me 10-15 minutes tops, and I felt so much better about my last week and felt clear about what I could do better in the week to come.

61- Tell Them to Shut the F* UP
Original Air Date: Jan 15, 2021* I got a little HOT in this episode.
I was having a conversation with a friend and she said, "You're so much more confident than me. I need more confidence to do what you do."
Y'all when this happened, my brain broke! Lol. If I waited until I was CONFIDENT to start this podcast then I still wouldn't have a podcast. If I waited until I was CONFIDENT to start my coffee videos, I would NEVER have coffee videos.
My confidence does get better and I get a little stronger every day that I put myself out there. It's like going to the gym for my confidence. Each time I have a thought that tells me "that's stupid, no one cares, or stop posting every day" but I post ANYWAY in SPITE of that thought then I stand a little straighter. I build a little bit more confidence every day that I do a scary thing or something I'm insecure about.
I was not born with confidence. I create it and build it every day that I do something scary or something that my brain tells me I can't do or I'm not good enough for.

Episode 60- How Being Present, Intentional, and Consistent Can Manifest Any Life You Desire with Jakori Savage
Original Air Date: Jan 14, 2021* Hey everyone! Today's episode is special for two reasons.
1) It's my 60th episode which means I've been podcasting for 60 days straight... I don't know that I've ever done anything for 60 days straight except for drink coffee and breathe.
2) We have a VERY SPECIAL GUEST Jakori Savage who is a former LSU football player, now fighter, and a friend of mine who I wanted on the podcast so he could share with me (and my community) how he stays so consistent.
With it being my 60th episode, this topic feels very timely. This journey is all about consistency and showing up for me.
I'm glad Jakori and I could chat and share with you the foundation of our practices. I hope something resonates with you. Maybe you will agree with us and see where consistency has paid off in your life. Maybe you will start to see some areas that can use more of it. Either way, I hope you have as much fun listening to the episode as I had recording it.

59- Being Confused is a Choice
Original Air Date: Jan 13, 2021*. I'm so grateful to my coach Faith Mariah (Blogging Breakthroughs podcaster) for gifting our community with this phrase. It's changed my mindset completely.
Anytime I feel I'm in the vibe of confusion, I refer to this phrase "being confused is a choice" which means to me that there is an answer I'm not looking for. I could know a solution but I'm not pursuing it at the moment. Or, there is an area of my life where I need to learn more, perhaps develop a skill, or get help from someone who has that skill already.
There are so many options for all of life's confusions.
Maybe I'm not asking the right question or googling enough, but my answer IS SOMEWHERE.
And this phrase always reminds me of that.

58- Tip Tuesday: ASK
Original Air Date: Jan 12, 2021*. I really appreciate everyone who made my birthday so special yesterday. For my birthday, I gave the gift of growth to myself. I did the most uncomfortable thing I've done in a long time. I have this unspoken goal to do one thing that scares me once a week. Yesterday may have been the start of that.
Thank you to all my listeners for such a great birthday! I appreciate everyone who wished, liked, commented, or gave to me on my birthday. My intention for doing what I did and showing y'all how scared I was while doing it was to hopefully inspire or motivate you to do the same.
Don't be afraid to ASK for assistance, opportunities, etc.
Looking back, I'm wondering if I've gone without in certain areas just because I'm too stubborn to ask. I'm working on that a lot this year.

57- Twenty-Fine! (It's My Birthday)
Original Air Date: Jan 11, 2021*. WOW, y'all! I did not expect this to be such an emotional episode for me, but I wanted to give y'all a behind the scenes around how much drama I had around linking my PayPal and Venmo on my social medias today for my birthday.
This was an extremely uncomfortable thing for me to do. I almost don't want to do it because it literally makes my skin crawl to think I'm asking for money on my birthday when really I can reframe that thought.
I'm just guiding people to a source where if they wanted to do something special for me and they are thinking, "How can I bless RayLynn on this day?" "What can I do for my favorite podcaster and friend?"
It's been a hard couple of months for me and while gifts are nice. I'm in a season of my life where money would go a long way for me since I've been out of work with my foot.
I appreciate everyone who shows up to listen. I hope this podcast gave you a little behind the scenes of how tough and how many stories I have associated with asking for help or feeling like I'm asking for ANYTHING. I'm working on it and I hope showing y'all that process helps someone else.

Tomorrow in part two, I can go into more detail about how my life changed by not blaming because it helped me identify when other people were trying to and succeeding in manipulating me through blaming/pointing the finger at me.

Ep 53- How Negative Self-Talk Hinders Progress and Leadership ft. Peygan Lafont
Original Air Date: Jan 7, 2021*. Hey everyone! So today is a special episode! It's longer than my typical content because I have another guest on!
Peygan is a professor at Bayou Jiu jitsu and self-defense. I've been friends with him for over a year now and I've seen him try to do a lot of mindset work in the past year. And today, I sit down with him in this interview to try to get a feel for what sparked his inspiration to work on his self-talk. We talk about the challenges that come with being a leader of a gym, especially a leader to young children. He talks about the mental struggle associated with choosing his passion as a career over taking the college route.
Lots of good things in the interview. I appreciate Peygan giving us him time and being so open about his challenges and what he's learned from them.

Original Air Date: Jan 3, 2021*. I’m going to be here every day.
I’m going to be here on the days when you are tired and the days when you want to take on the world. I’m going to be here when you are happy and when you are depressed. I’m going to be here when you are motivated and when you are thinking about quitting.
I'm here.
I’m also going to be here when you are questioning. When you’re like ya know Ray, I don’t know if I want this thing anymore... I'll be here to ask you those questions when no one else will.
Are you tired and frustrated with it? Are you bored? Or did you find out it was something you always thought you wanted but some things have changed? Did you realize it was associated with an expectation you always felt you needed to live up to? Did you realize it was a dream the world sold to you and not something you truly wanted?
I’ll be here on those days too.
This year, in 2021, I’ll be here.
I won’t let you forget yourself. I won’t let you forget the goals you are setting, and I will also be here on the days when you don’t feel like it. When you need a break. I encourage those.
But I’m making it my job this year to show up for you, show up for this podcast, and keep YOU curious and keep YOU in the direction of finding the life YOU actually enjoy living. That’s my job this year.
And, I’m going to be here for you.
You deserve peace. You deserve joy. You deserve to have someone in your corner on the days when you feel like there isn’t anyone.
And, I’ll be right here.

Original Air Date: Jan 1, 2021 *. Good morning! Happy 2021!
In today's episode, I read some of the comments my podcast listeners shared on my social media pages when I asked them what their word could be for 2021. What they wanted to feel.

46- New Year. New Feeling.
Original Air Date: Dec 31, 2020* Hello everyone on the last day of 2020! What a year. Did you ever think it would end? I didn't... lol
On today's episode, I ask y'all if you've ever heard of setting a feeling for the year instead of a goal? I wasn't always familiar with this concept. It was introduced to me in 2017 by Sally Hope, my kundalini yoga teacher.
The premise is instead of/or alongside with a goal or manifestation we are trying to call in or work towards in the New Year to also consider setting a feeling. A tone. Using a word to guide your year instead of/or with a goal. That year my word was "Surrender."
That word taught me a lot. It taught me how to let go when I did all I could do. It helped me recognize the control I had in some areas and where some things were just out of my control.
You don't have to pick a word this year, but if this concept is new to you and you'd like to try it, I'd say do it. I've actually had more success and better years picking words/feelings than goals and manifestations.
Best of luck with your New Year! I'll talk to y'all again in 2021!

I talk a little bit about this perspective coming from someone who pulls in millions of dollars a year through his company. His response helped me reframe and remember what internal success I achieve this year and it was a big one.

We talk about how it was important it was for her to surround herself with people who were executing their dreams and we dive into how important her faith was, and still is, on her journey.

I share on my podcast today how the podcast "Coffee Talk" inspired me and helped me realize I had things I wanted to share every day like Christy Mae Campbell does on her podcast. Check her podcast out and let me know if we sound the same, talk about the same things, and are exact replicas of each other.
I can't speak for her but the ultimate compliment to me is: "I started something because I saw you doing it and it helped me realize I could, too."

If you are feeling overwhelmed or grieving this year (feeling the first Christmas without a loved one), my thoughts are with you. Remember to take some deep breaths. Control what you can. Let go of what you can't.
Much love. Thank you as always for listening.

Original Air Date: Dec 22, 2020*. Today is a double hitter. I'm reading another excerpt out of "The Subtle Art..." about how we are always choosing our problems and a lot of times we have a more positive experience with a problem if we view it as if we chose it rather than it being forced upon us.

My intention is to remind you that if are finding yourself leaving something you really care about then I'm willing to bet you have done all the trying, turned over every stone, and you are making the best decision right now that you know how to make

Original Air Date: Dec 2, 2020* Sometimes, I find myself turning to other things to dodge a feeling or a thought. I feel like the fact it's off my mind means it's gone.

Some things that may not be solvable right now but I think recognizing a feeling or a problem is the first true step in creating Transformation. I hope this podcast brings value to you today.

1- Bed, Blanche, & a Broken Foot
Original air date: Nov. 16, 2020* For those who don't know me, my name is RayLynn. Some friends and family call me Ray. About a week ago, I was mail carrier working extra hours, not taking vacations, and paying off loads of debt. I was doing jiu jitsu and practicing yoga, daily. Everything in my life felt as if it was falling in place. I was on a roll until my foot snapped beneath me. Literally. I broke my foot.
I'm not ready to say how. All you need to know is when I did, my foot made three loud pops that sounded like 2x4s slapping together. I fractured three bones going to my middle toes. And just like that, I'm out of work for 6-8 weeks. Which brings me here...
Even though I can't drive, do my job, go grocery shopping by myself, or workout, I can do this. I can start the short-form podcast I've been thinking about. The podcast I've envisioned where I share content like podcasts, books, quotes, or stories that were interesting, helpful, or inspiring to me. My only intentions for this podcast is for it to make you smile, feel encouraged, and brings in some inspiration.
