00:00:19.248 --> 00:00:21.183
Welcome back to Rooted&Real.

2
00:00:21.208 --> 00:00:22.248
This is Lynda...

3
00:00:22.888 --> 00:00:30.528
and today, we're going to do the last
episode on The Mother Who Feels Forgotten.

4
00:00:31.688 --> 00:00:38.008
And today's last episode will
be, 'She's Still in There'.

5
00:00:40.088 --> 00:00:43.608
So to the woman who forgot herself.

6
00:00:45.648 --> 00:00:47.128
I have good news for you.

7
00:00:48.728 --> 00:00:49.968
She's still in there.

8
00:00:50.688 --> 00:00:56.223
That girl who laughed too loud,
who dreamed too big, who danced

9
00:00:56.248 --> 00:00:59.408
in her room, that girl never left.

10
00:01:00.528 --> 00:01:05.048
She just went quiet
while you were busy surviving.

11
00:01:07.248 --> 00:01:11.088
The thing is, she went quiet when
you learned to put yourself last.

12
00:01:11.928 --> 00:01:20.128
She went quiet when you were told you were
too much or not enough at the same time.

13
00:01:20.808 --> 00:01:28.088
She went too quiet when you started
asking everyone else who you should be.

14
00:01:30.128 --> 00:01:33.088
But I promise you, she still in there.

15
00:01:34.648 --> 00:01:38.928
That song that makes
you cry in the car for no reason,

16
00:01:39.128 --> 00:01:40.488
that means she's still in there.

17
00:01:41.088 --> 00:01:45.408
In that moment, you see another woman
living boldly and you feel that ache,

18
00:01:46.528 --> 00:01:48.128
that means she's in there.

19
00:01:48.688 --> 00:01:51.048
In that journal, you haven't opened.

20
00:01:52.568 --> 00:01:55.608
In that idea you haven't killed, even
though you tried,

21
00:01:56.568 --> 00:01:58.088
that means she's still in there.

22
00:02:00.128 --> 00:02:01.968
You think you need to find yourself?

23
00:02:02.408 --> 00:02:04.088
You don't.

24
00:02:05.128 --> 00:02:09.448
You need to return to yourself.

25
00:02:12.048 --> 00:02:15.888
She's still in there
waiting for you to come home.

26
00:02:16.768 --> 00:02:18.408
She didn't need you to be perfect.

27
00:02:19.768 --> 00:02:25.008
She just needs you to listen,
to choose yourself once

28
00:02:26.088 --> 00:02:30.208
today, and then again tomorrow.

29
00:02:31.368 --> 00:02:34.583
So, start small.

30
00:02:34.608 --> 00:02:37.088
Speak to yourself like someone you love.

31
00:02:37.768 --> 00:02:40.368
Wear what you like, not what's practical.

32
00:02:40.848 --> 00:02:42.648
Say what you really think.

33
00:02:43.808 --> 00:02:46.288
Spend time alone without feeling lonely.

34
00:02:47.088 --> 00:02:53.768
And Every time you choose you, you are
turning the volume up on her voice again.

35
00:02:56.288 --> 00:03:05.808
So, to that woman who forgot herself, look in
the mirror tonight and say, "I see you.

36
00:03:07.488 --> 00:03:09.168
I remember you.

37
00:03:10.128 --> 00:03:17.543
And, I'm coming back."
Because the world doesn't just need the

38
00:03:17.568 --> 00:03:21.968
mother, the wife, the worker, the
friend, the sister, the daughter.

39
00:03:23.048 --> 00:03:28.288
The world needs you, the whole you.

40
00:03:29.608 --> 00:03:36.488
And she still in there,
waiting, and ready...
