2:40
any area of your life that's imbalanced and then um I focus on teens
2:45
I I I so as a mind sh fa te Bay the Mind Shifter I have a podcast called Mind
2:51
shift power podcast and it's specifically for teenagers and the adults who work with them so it's bringing together two communities that
2:58
work together all the time but couldn't be couldn't be further apart um so I I
3:04
focus on that I go to high schools and do workshops and uh speaking engagements
3:10
at with both adults and teens um I have a I write for a magazine and um I do
3:18
group coaching as well so I do a lot do it all well you guys the reason that I am
3:26
so excited about having Fatima on the show today is because of a YouTube video
3:32
that I saw of hers now especially when it comes to
3:38
self-worth and self-care we all have some drafted up
3:44
thoughts we all go through we all go through that horrible selft talk well
3:51
her video y'all puts things into a somewhat different perspective and
3:58
really kind of targets some of those thoughts y'all she did a video it is part one and part two of crusty
4:06
thinking now I loved this I thought
4:13
a calling your thinking crusty my daughter tells me all the time
4:20
if I'm being crusty to her so it really that hit me right there I was like man
4:26
you know that is such a perfect analogy for so much of the negative selft talk
4:33
that we do it is crusty thinking y'all what hit me is when she brought
4:39
out that $100 bill and that $1 bill how many of us have $100
4:47
dreams on a$1 budget I know I am not the other
4:53
one I I do it and I know I am not the
4:59
only one so for how did you come up with that
5:05
well I'm an analogy Queen anybody who knows me will tell you and you can even look through my YouTube channel uh which
5:12
is Fatin Bay the Mind Shifter on YouTube you can even look through my YouTube channel and uh you could see that I'm
5:17
all about analogies I'm a I'm a natural born teacher that's really my first and foremost gift out of all the gifts and
5:24
talents that I have I would say that would be my strongest and as a teacher I I understand that analogies are the best
5:31
way that we learn and the reason I call myself the Mind Shifter is I try to put
5:36
things in a way that helps you to shift your thinking and like you said a perspective
5:42
that you I hadn't thought about it like that before so with the with the Crusty
5:48
thinking in particular I'll be honest with you I pray and I ask God and he gives me these brilliant ideas that even I'm like whoa
5:54
that was a good one so this was one of those um and so so I wanted to come up
6:01
with something that okay we can we can very often we hear people explain especially as coaches and people in this
6:08
industry we can explain Concepts that's easy it's not hard we can understand
6:13
Concepts not hard at all but do we really get it but are we really processing it and knowing how to apply
6:20
it to oursel uh I think very often people are afraid to include details in
6:27
their explanations because they're going to offend somebody I'm the opposite I am not out to offend
6:33
you but if I do oh well um I'm not going to hold back because you choose to be offended by whatever you want to be
6:39
offended by I'm just going to tell you the truth and those who it hits and it changes their lives great everybody else can go sit down somewhere that's my
6:46
attitude so because I have that attitude it leaves me free to be honest and real
6:51
in my exp in my explanations so with the Crusty thinking in particular obviously you'reall going
6:58
to go going to want going to want to go watch it on YouTube but with that um in
7:03
in particular I just I think it's so important I wanted to really convey the
7:09
importance that we pay attention and control our thoughts we can control our
7:14
thoughts it is not true that you have no control of your thoughts that's some you have absolute control of
7:20
your thoughts you don't have control of what comes at your thoughts all the time but you can control what you do with
7:26
them that's how you control your thoughts so when that so when that little comes up in your head
7:32
you're like you can't do that you're too stupid you're not good enough nobody's going to like it nobody's listening they
7:37
don't like you blah blah blah blah blah blah blah you need to punch her in the face you need to turn around like
7:44
that is a lie you need devil is a liar yes you
7:50
really you need you need to talk back to those thoughts and make a choice and it
7:56
is a choice it's not a feeling your feelings will follow the choice it is a choice to decide I am not going
8:03
to let that thought sit there I'm going to pick it up and throw it in the trash where it belongs and that does take
8:10
effort it takes a lot of work um on our part because I know for myself I I the
8:16
reason I came up with that video is because I know that has applied to me
8:21
and I know it's not just me and since we're on this fat girl life it especially applies to those of us who
8:27
are fat because we are although we are more advanced in the society than we've been when it comes to plus-sized women
8:34
we are still at a point where we feel bad about being our big selves we don't
8:40
look like the skinny mini models we don't look like the airbrushed fake ass
8:45
models that we put see on whatever and you can you can modify anything to look
8:51
like anything you want nowadays yeah so most half of what we see isn't really real um but
8:59
we tend to because we live in a in a very materialistic Society we tend to
9:06
value our looks honestly a lot more than we should it's not that we should run around looking crazy and not value them
9:12
at all I disagree with that but we give it far more value on a scale of zero to
9:18
100 it should matter at 50 but we're giving it 100 or 99 oh yeah that's a
9:23
problem you know I will totally agree with that and that thinking
9:30
is where it starts when it comes to self-care yes and self-care is a big
9:36
term right now somewhat overused agreed but it is
9:42
still important and for let me specify what I mean when I say self-care because
9:49
there's a whole lot of different meanings for self-care out there as well so when I say self-care I am talking
9:56
about making yourself a priority establishing and enforcing
10:04
boundaries within your life and taking care of yourself taking
10:12
time for yourself for every person it looks a little different for my husband
10:19
for example self-care for him you give him time alone in the
10:25
evenings that he can write or or he may want to build a Lego set because he
10:33
loves n blocks but that for him is
10:38
self-care for me time to sit and do
10:46
crossstitch or when my husband is gone that's when I watch my guilty
10:52
pleasure shows that is my self I am not gonna and
10:58
I'm I'm gonna totally put myself out there if I really want to get down and dirty with my self-care and relaxing
11:05
with a video I am putting on those pimple popping videos oh I don't know why those
11:12
are so interesting but they are oh my God I'll admit I I kind of like watching them too I don't know why
11:20
hours yeah and I I have the tools because I've seen them enough I I bought
11:25
myself a little toolkit of the tools to pop them anytime
11:31
my husband has one now I'm like honey I got tools let's go and this poor
11:38
man this poor poor this is how you know he loves me he will actually come up to
11:45
me and say okay honey I need you to take care of this for me can we can I back up for a second I want to back up to
11:52
something you you started talking about making sure we're taking care of selfcare and that's the series that you're doing right now and there's
11:58
something a piece of it that I want to speak to because I think that um it just needs to be explained and separated so
12:04
that people can better understand okay there is a difference between self-care
12:10
and selfish now there yet you jumped again
12:15
but that's where I going next here's the thing I want to break down what that means and what it doesn't mean because I
12:22
think sometimes people don't understand now again going back to what I said earlier one of my subjects that I that I
12:27
teach on um te and preach on and always talking about is balance and I think
12:32
this is an area where our society has become somewhat imbalanced in the
12:38
explanation of what self-care actually is self-care and selfish are two different things so self-care means that
12:46
I will make sure that I make myself a priority when necessary and I don't
12:51
don't go too far and overwork myself and give give give and never take care of myself that is a balanced view of
12:58
self-care selfish is when that goes to an
13:04
imbalanced level where my focus on myself is 80 to 100% that is selfish and
13:12
nobody wants to be around those people I can tell you that right now if people are backing away from you you might want to consider because that's that might be
13:19
partly why selfish is the percentage or the degree to which you are practicing
13:27
self-care you to do selfcare then you are being
13:32
selfish you know what that's an excellent way to put it honestly that's an excellent way to put it
13:39
um you want to make sure that you are taking care of yourself now I personally the self-care piece is something that
13:45
I've had to learn and I still don't think that I've perfected it but I've definitely gotten a lot better and I H
13:51
I've had to learn that I have to take care of myself because I want to take
13:57
care of everybody else but I'm no good de I am no good if I can't take you know if I if I can't function so I got to
14:03
make sure I get enough sleep I got to make sure I take care of myself and it's it could be a challenge because I'm like
14:09
I'm like the type of person where I'm like I got 25 things to get done I want to get them all done today but that's
14:15
not you know that's not always realistic so I've learned to Pace myself I still I would say I'm still learning to be
14:21
better and better at it you know every month but um but I think it's important
14:26
to to point out the difference between self selfish but here is why I think it's important to point that out I don't
14:32
just want to explain it but I want you to understand why sometimes you have a women who are
14:38
very very giving and and they feel like any kind of care is
14:45
selfish and for those women I want you to understand that you taking care of yourself is not selfish and I want you
14:52
to understand where that line is that line is when it's more than 50% if you want to give it a number let's say more
14:58
than than 50% that line is when it's more than 50% then you're starting to run into the selfish field you've
15:04
crossed over the fence or over the line to the selfish Arena because everybody's not going to be there's 50 numbers
15:10
between 50 and 100 I use number scill to explain to things a lot um so if you were taking care of
15:16
yourself everybody else 90% of the time there's absolutely nothing wrong with you taking that 10% and taking care of
15:22
yourself and this is especially true for those of us who are mothers yes uh if
15:28
you're mother it's so sometimes and especially if you're a good mother the the better the mother you are the harder
15:34
it is for self-care it's just true because you you're you're always constantly thinking about the what is
15:40
for your children you want to make sure you're taking care of them you're constantly wondering am I doing the best blah blah blah and those are all natural
15:47
parental thoughts they they really are and there are guys who think that too but we're talking to women right now
15:53
um it's it's okay to take care of yourself it it's not just okay you need
15:58
to you absolutely have to also I
16:05
really where I learned that how important it was to prioritize myself and you know make
16:13
sure that I was taken care of myself was when I worked in the corporate industry I worked for a car dealership for six
16:20
almost seven years and I Not only was working during
16:26
the day for them sometimes six days a week because they in Colorado they were not allowed to be
16:33
open on Sundays due to Colorado law otherwise I would have been there seven days a
16:39
week handled everything during the day also was scheduling and taking care of
16:45
stuff in the evening and on my days off at home to the point of while I was on my
16:54
honeymoon oh that's I had customers call me oh no and I that's when I was like
17:00
you know what no nope I'm on my honeymoon call the
17:05
dealership yeah exist
17:10
and I was getting to a point with burnout that was so severe it
17:17
was making me physically ill I would get sick I would lose my
17:25
voice nothing didn't have any you know doctor couldn't fix it there was
17:31
nothing you know I didn't have laryngitis or you know some sort of bacterial thing but it's like my body
17:39
would start just shutting down and I would lose my voice wouldn't be able to
17:44
speak no matter what I tried and as somebody who grew up singing I Knew
17:50
every trick in the book wouldn't work I would get so
17:59
drained that somebody could look at me wrong and i' burst into
18:06
tears yeah I was hitting that wall
18:11
hard and I finally had to you know start putting some boundaries in place and
18:19
really that was hard for me because especially coming out of
18:24
rehab I I had spent eight years as an attic prior had gone through rehab was
18:32
getting my life back on track and I had this up
18:39
thinking that in order to try to show everybody that I was better that I
18:47
wasn't the same person I was in addiction I had to succeed well I was
18:53
taking it to unhealthy extremes extremes yes
19:00
and that's the problem especially you know when you're working in a corporate industry or something like that is you
19:08
go to such unhealthy extremes to try to prove that you are just as good as a
19:16
counterpart that may be deemed societally better and I'm not going to
19:22
call out any specific counterparts right now that's not what this is about but
19:27
when you are competing with a counterpart or you want to show that hey I'm the
19:33
best you take it to such unhealthy levels and that's what I think a lot of that crusty thinking actually happens as
19:41
well because we are constantly trying to achieve something
19:47
that isn't going to serve us you really said it
19:55
um I would say for for people out there who are listening right now and you keep
20:03
trying to find a way to take care of yourself find a way to
20:10
be better balanced when it comes to self-care and you just keep ending up not doing it and you keep ending up in
20:16
the same uh situation over and over again and it's not happening your thinking needs to change
20:23
until it does you're not going to change that's where crusty thinking comes in
20:29
your thinking is crusty when it's the same thoughts over and over again it's
20:34
just like they say expecting doing the same thing expecting different results that's crusty thinking doing what your
20:41
the people before you and your family did but expecting it to come out better for you that's crusty thinking it
20:49
doesn't work and you we really need to examine
20:54
ourselves and ask okay what how is my thinking because how is my thinking
21:01
affecting my success or failure right now I promise you it's in your thinking
21:07
I promise you success or failure is 100% in your thinking because even if you
21:13
have opportunities to do this and that and you have the means to do this and that your thinking is what will help
21:19
help you your thinking is what will make you grab a hold of the right opportunities or to waste them
21:26
or example for crusty thinking that I just came up with if your thinking makes
21:33
you constantly feel bad about yourself that is crusty
21:40
thinking yes and sometimes I will call it stinking thinking but I use crusty
21:45
thinking in that video other times I've called it stinking thinking but I use crusty uh crusty thinking in that video
21:51
because of the the physical demonstration that I did in that video and how it was literally crusty um but
21:59
you're stinking thinking yes you're so you're so right if you find yourself constantly putting yourself
22:06
down that means you have a bad habit that needs to be broken your thinking is
22:15
is in a bad habit Loop and it needs to be broken your your mind is in behind
22:21
bars and in Chains and those chains need to be broken and I love that you brought up the word half it because and I've
22:30
said this before and I will say it again because there are people that need to hear
22:36
it it takes 21 days to create a
22:42
habit you have to do something every day for 21 days AB habit
22:50
that is scientifically proven this isn't just something I came up with science is behind that so when you are trying to
22:59
change some of that crusty thinking that negative selft
23:05
talk the best thing I ever was taught and I I actually just had a conversation
23:12
with somebody in a Facebook group the other day
23:18
take something positive about yourself write it on a sticky note or
23:24
for me I actually keep them on my phone I have a little widget and I'm actually
23:31
going to show part of my home screen if I can get it up it doesn't
23:37
want to come up properly because it's got a different widget on it right now
23:43
but where is it up on the top of my screen I've got these two
23:49
widgets and this one if it of course they're not going to come
23:54
up properly because I just messed up my phone but I actually keep affirmations on my phone because I
24:02
have my phone with me constantly so when I have that moment
24:09
of tearing myself down which we all do I don't care who you are if you say you
24:17
never do it you are lying I'm just gonna call that out real quick because we all have those moments
24:25
may not be as frequent for some as as others but it's there so when I have
24:31
that moment I will actually just have to look at my phone and see a little
24:36
message you are enough you look beautiful today I write
24:41
myself little love notes on my phone and I keep them playing in a loop so I get
24:47
that constantly I do think that um affirmations are important and when I do
24:54
individual coaching I customize uh I I have all any anybody I coach they I have
25:00
them do affirmations but I customize how they do the affirmations differently because everybody doesn't receive the
25:06
same way so um I do have people do affirmations and then I have them work up to a different affirmation once
25:13
they're secure in that one um but I also wanted to point out uh something you
25:18
said a minute ago when we when we're talking about
25:23
earlier well something I said earlier about telling that in your head to shut up
25:29
because you know in line with what you just said about H what you know we're just talking about with habits you have
25:36
to make it a habit to combat if you were 50 years
25:41
old and you have a habit for the past 49 years of putting yourself down and
25:49
receiving those thoughts and and taking them in that says you're not good enough you're not smart enough they're looking
25:55
at you whatever it is whatever the Nega it is you can even at 50 years old you
26:01
can change that but as as Kim just said in minute ago you need to develop a
26:07
habit of shutting them down don't just go oh man I had that thought and just sit there with it you need to shut it
26:15
down and combat it with what she was just saying with positive affirmations
26:21
if you do those two things in combination you can change any mindset yep and I'm I'm going to give an example
26:27
of that real world example and I started this what this has
26:34
become a running joke honestly but it's so accurate because again it's that you
26:40
know you've got that negative that you've had for 49 years we're gonna just
26:45
use 50 as our number you've had that habit 49 years of 49 years all you've
26:51
told yourself God I hate my chin my chin is ugly having a double chin is is ugly
26:59
and I freely ad I am not a fan of my chin
27:05
but here's where it goes to the positive I have a built-in pillow if I
27:12
fall [Laughter] asleep I got pillow how many other
27:18
people say that perspective my body gave me a built-in pillow buil-in pillow I've
27:25
got that negative I hate my double chck
27:30
but it does this for me true one way to
27:36
that negative that negative that I had for 49
27:41
years I am turning it into a positive so even with that negative thinking because
27:47
that negative thinking is not going to go away but you can combat it you have that
27:53
thought and then you add the butt and what what's the positive on it
27:59
what is the opposite what is the good thing about it and that I had to start doing that
28:06
with my body especially because with my history with being you
28:13
know a child a childhood sexual abuse Survivor going through eight years of
28:18
addiction and adulthood I spent a lot of years in
28:24
self-hate 36 Years hated myself hated my
28:29
body I couldn't tell you anything positive ex except for the fact that I could s that was the only positive I had
28:38
that and I gave birth to a beautiful daughter but I still didn't credit
28:43
myself for that you know she came out at me that was it my sister helped raise her I will put
28:51
that out there it's not something I talk about a whole lot but I was not I was not a good mother for from my
28:57
daughter's childhood now I am a good mother and I am a wonderful
29:04
grandmother and then again there's that butt what I'm saying is true I wasn't a
29:10
good mom when my daughter was little but I did the work I did the healing I
29:19
looked inside which is so hard to do it was not easy and it took years for
29:27
my daughter but after I got Cen it still took years for my daughter to forgive me
29:32
for the hell that I put her through and thank God that my mother and my aunt and
29:38
my sister were willing to raise my daughter because I didn't do it I
29:45
was I spent eight years in a drug induced Haze I was not a good
29:50
mom but I am now so what I'm hearing you say and I'm really kind of talking to
29:56
the audience right now even if you've been imperfect your
30:02
whole life and you've you've you've done some bad things even if it's not related to Parenting whatever it is everybody's
30:09
got different details none of us are perfect we've all lived a life and made
30:14
mistakes you can still come out of it and practice self-care with it
30:22
because I do believe that guilt warranted or not cuz sometimes it's not
30:27
warranted but sometimes it is warranted or not guilt is one of those things that
30:33
hold people down oh and keep them from attempting any sort of
30:39
self-love and you I want you to know you can come out of it because you don't
30:44
know my story but there's you know I I've lived under
30:50
a lot of negativity and negative selft talk most of my life I had very very low
30:55
self-esteem extremely and always had the little voice in my head telling me everything I
31:02
wasn't and I started combating it with understanding everything I am and
31:09
started talking back to her and and it doesn't mean that I'm perfect now I'm a very strong Confident Woman now and I'm
31:15
known for that but I wasn't always and I just want to give hope to
31:21
those of you who are out there who might be like I was or like she was there 's
31:27
hope for you you can you just have to make a decision and then put in the work it's not going to happen overnight and
31:33
it might not be easy and it might be a challenge but it's worth it because when you come on out on the other side of it
31:40
God you feel like you got out of jail oh yeah oh my God
31:45
yes it it is totally different I can say now I'm 47 years old
31:55
so when I say you that 49 years it's pretty accurate for me there you know
32:01
I've hit that age but I'm 47 years
32:07
old and I am probably the happiest I've ever
32:13
been the only thing that would make my life
32:18
better was if my daughter and grandbaby lived out here with me in Vegas instead
32:24
of being two states away but thank God for
32:29
FaceTime I talked to my grandbaby this morning I get to FaceTime with him every
32:36
day and I will say and my my daughter and I have had
32:41
this conversation I was not a good mom but I am very proud to say I am a wonderful
32:49
grandmother and that little boy loves his
32:55
nana and having my daughter call me because she has a question or she's
33:03
just frustrated in that moment needs a break and needs another adult to talk to I love that I am one of her first
33:10
calls now because 10 years ago I wouldn't have been and that's progress
33:16
and that's beautiful that that is putting in the work that is taking that
33:24
negative and finding the positive and I love that you talk about
33:33
that honestly this whole series and I know I explained this to you when we
33:39
talked the first time but I am the original fat girl this entire
33:45
show started because of a Blog that I wrote about myself this fat girl life I am the fat
33:53
girl that started it and the thing is I think the reason you have the followers you do is because
34:00
you're not the only one and there's a lot of other Kimberly out there um in fatimas yes and I'm hoping that this can
34:08
help them well you guys we are going to wrap this episode up Fatima I want to thank
34:15
you so much for coming on for
34:21
sharing the Crusty thinking with us you know telling us about you know help has learn about the
34:27
Crusty thinking that we all do and how we can change that and knock the crust
34:34
off of it and smooth some of those edges and find the beauty that's under
34:40
the crust yes yes because let's think about a
34:45
pearl an oyster is actually a really ugly animal but that Pearl inside that you
34:53
have to dig for is a thing of beauty Beauty yes it is and all of you out there in Internet
35:03
land that's what we're going to call it because that's how yall they're getting reached is through the internet
35:10
somehow you guys are all pearls you just may have to knock off some of the
35:15
crust I like that well I'm gonna ask one final
35:21
question because I do this every episode but now I got to switch it up because just as a heads up if y'all
35:28
don't follow big beautiful badasses one of my other podcasts but tea is on there
35:33
too check out big beautiful bad and I like the title big beautiful badass and there's my face I love
35:40
it but I gotta get up with a different question so that being
35:45
said what is the most inspirational thing somebody has ever said to
35:52
you see I got you on that one I think
35:58
somebody's ever said to me directly yep because that's a different answer than what I've heard
36:08
um when someone has told me and this happened
36:15
actually last month a girl that I used to work with basically told me that she
36:22
worked with me a long time ago when she was 18 years old she was just a kid
36:28
and I took her under my wing and taught her this was in the bridal shop taught her how to read people how to hear what
36:35
people are not saying and being able to to get people what they need and etc
36:42
etc and I also we worked on commission at the time I gave her I didn't even
36:47
remember this until she said it to me I gave her one of my sales so that she could make commission and it was the
36:53
first time she was ever making commission and that's a big deal when you're you know when you're newer so I
36:59
actually gave her one of my sales so that she could make commission cuz you had to make a certain a dollar amount
37:06
and um apparently I deposited a lot of a lot in her at 18 years old and she
37:13
recently she's in her 30s now and she recently told me that her time with me back then has
37:20
changed her life and it's molded and shaped her into who she is today I'm sure it's not just me but that I was a
37:26
piece of it that just literally brought tears to my eyes yeah and I it was humbling for me I
37:33
was like I didn't I I did not know and let me tell you why that's related to
37:40
this show right now at that time when I was doing all of this stuff to give to
37:45
her to deposit into her and to everybody around me I was feeling like about
37:52
myself I had no idea that I was planting good seeds that will continue to harvest
37:59
every year in the people around me I'm only recently finding out that it had
38:05
that effect not just from her but that's the most recent and that one just like hit me like a ton of bricks when she
38:10
said it and to me that was humbling it also tells me how important it is that I
38:16
continue to do what I do because if I'm planting those seeds and it's making a
38:22
difference that's it mission accomplished that's what it's all about yeah that is
38:30
beautiful well thank you so much for coming on the show and especially for sharing that
38:37
little that got me that almost made me cry and it did it was it made me cry
