JC explains why he always starts streams with music, describing it as a vehicle for thinking, feeling and processing life. He outlines Cadre’s supportive Friday community and its focus on grief, loss and everyday highs and lows.
Why does JC always play some music? We'll figure it out. Happy Friday, my friend.
TGIF Bezobads Speak Wonder Ah crew is showing up right now. So often a lot of the content you see is focused on grief and loss. We hope you're good, but even if you're not, you're still in the right place on Fridays.
Why is there music in every single one of your live streams in the Cadre sphere? Because music is. one of the ways that I think and feel and process and. do this so called life thing. I'm taking a break from the stress of installing a new floor.
Music is the conduit, the vehicle, the vessel for thinking and feeling and processing. Take some time to figure out what you need when you need it, and then roll around in that all the time. There's always really great things coming up in the Cadre sphere.
Hey. Hey, Cadre. How are you? It's Friday. It is officially Friday. You know you're gonna get some music at the beginning. We're gonna talk about why in a moment. Why does JC always play some music? We'll figure it out. Ashley, how are you? Happy Friday, my friend. TGIF Bezobads Speak Wonder Ah crew is showing up right now. Jules. Ah, you made it, everybody. Another day, another morning, another start to another opportunity. Crooked souls trying to stay up straight. That's us. Bright eyes in the pouring rain.
Well, the shadow proves the sunshine. The shadow proves the sunshine. I'll hit pause right there. I love that line. The shadow proves the sunshine. Whether you're a smiling cowboy like Speak Wonder just shared or a too sunny sun morning like Jules just threw out. Oh, Speak Wonder's back in good old pa. I love that. So happy Friday. My name is jc. If we've never shared time and space together before, thank you for the opportunity to spend some time together right now. You have such a. I think because I get to know all of them.
You have such a wonderful crew of people who are so excited to spend time with you throughout the day, whether in live moments like this. Q and A versions like Shannon hosted last night through pre recorded content, which never gets dusty or old. And also through the community feed, whenever you feel like you want to say hey, you can say hey. The highs and the lows and the sunnies and the shades. We hope that you're good, but we're here because if you're not, will always be that squeaky wheel reminding you that this journey to wellness is not a straight line.
The world is not binary. Ah, Kristin Grimes. How are you, everybody? Make sure you check out some of Kristen's content or Speak Wonders content, right? Not only. What was that old commercial? Was it a hair loss commercial? Not only am I the spokesman, but. But I'm. Or not only am I the founder, but I'm also a member, a user, or whatever. We hope you're good, but even if you're not, you're still in the right place on Fridays. So often a lot of the content you see is focused on grief and loss, which we all experience in different ways at different times to different amplifications and concentrations.
But if you're ever going like, wow. When grief hits you in the face, where do you often go? If grief is a new passenger on your shoulder, where do you go? Here's a place where you can go. So someone asked me yesterday, jc, why is there music in every single one of your live streams in the Cadre sphere. And my answer. I have an answer. And my answer is because music is. Is one of the ways that I think and feel and process and. And do this so called life thing. Kristen says I'm doing well. Exclamation.
I'm taking a break from the stress of installing a new floor. Oh, my golly. Okay, pause. So I've had three houses, a couple apartments, but three houses. And the first one was a new build. The second one wasn't. And I was like, oh, I'm gonna go ahead and order some laminate flooring off of Costco, like the hardwood laminate flooring, and I'm gonna install it myself. I did it. And guess who's never gonna do it again? This guy. Actually, that's a really great tie in. Why? Because some people are really good with their hands with, like, visual, physical art.
I'm not. I am an appreciator of music, and I'm an okay maker of music. But by golly, whether it be drawing a circle or stick figure or laying a new floor in my house, nope, not something I have proficiency with. So, Kristen, I hope you have success, and if possible, I hope you have some joy in putting the new floor in. So music. I used to be a youth director, and I'd always make the point whenever I'd be working with people, with adults who were wanting to work with kind of the young people. You know, a lot of times they'd be like, I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say. And I go, well, the good thing is, is some young people, and those young people become adults, don't communicate with. With words. Sometimes they communicate with music or with action or with play or with fill in the blank, right? A song I played this morning, right? The shadow proves the sunshine. It's not meant to be a feel good type of song. It's kind of the opposite, right? It's like, hey, there's a lot of shadows. And if we're being really literal, shadows exist because there is a sun that is shining its light down, and somethings get in the way.
And the thing that's getting in the way may be the cruddy thing. We may not want to be in the shadows. I'm from part of the country where sometimes you go, it's like, oh, the sun hasn't shown in 10 days, 12 days, 13 weeks, and you start to feel it. And I always remind myself of this song. Why? Because it brings me to a place of momentary understanding, of momentary peace, of momentary pause. So my invitation for you today, especially if you're in a space of grief, of dissonance, of stress, is figure out how you process.
You know, you're gonna have. A lot of people are gonna be like, oh, here, I'm gonna take you to my favorite. To my favorite restaurant. Or I'm gonna take you to a loud rock concert and we're gonna do jumping jacks together. Cause that always makes me feel better. And you may be going, yeah, but that's not my jam. What can you do? You can take their energy, like the sunshine, and let the activity that they're throwing be the proof of the sunshine, the shadow, per se. But just like music, for me is the conduit, the vehicle, the vessel for.
For thinking and feeling and processing. Take some time to figure out what you need when you need it, and then roll around in that all the time, y'all. There's always really great things coming up in the Cadre sphere. We got some biggies for you in the next couple of days, so be on the lookout for a lot of stuff. Kristen says, I feel called out. I've been ignoring instead of processing. Kristen, sometimes that's the healthiest thing to do. I'm hitting the pause button. Another thing I say, enough.
Some people may say too much is this. You can't cook a turkey faster than you can cook a turkey, right? The turkey needs to cook. Maybe you need to pull all the floor out of your house to go ahead and allow time to process. So then, yeah, maybe you aren't ignoring it all. Maybe you're just not ready. Back to sunshine. Y'all have a great Friday. We will. See you tomorrow, 8am Have a good one. Sing. Storm clouds gathering beside me don't look away, sunshine Stay on the other side of those storms Crooked souls try to stay up straight Dry eyes in the pouring rain well, we've all been there the shadow proves the sunshine the shadow proves the sunshine Away.
