Hey, hey, hey, Happy New Year, everyone. How's it going? Happy,

Leaha Crawford 0:49
happy new year. It is 2025

Tiffani Lloyd 0:54
I cannot believe we are in. 2025 Like, seriously, 2025

Leaha Crawford 1:01
2025 25

Tiffani Lloyd 1:04
who? So it's a nine year, and a nine year numerically is completions. So we're completing cycles this year, completing and it's it's wild, and it's only just begun. The like it is. I've been paying attention to the since New Year's Eve, and the news cycles that have been generating since New Year's Eve, and I at first I was like chronicling them. Right? We had the three buildings that got struck by lightning on New Year's Eve, all within one minute of one another. Then the next day we had the, was it yesterday that we had the explosion in front of the Trump Tower with that was? That was Thursday. So, so today, Saturday? No, no. So was it the next day after?

Leaha Crawford 1:54
I don't remember. Okay, so full disclaimer, I don't watch the news.

Tiffani Lloyd 1:58
Oh, no. This was not, this was not watching the news. This was literally everywhere. No, because I don't, I have no

Leaha Crawford 2:05
idea, because I'm sitting here with my mouth open like, Oh, my God, all this stuff happened. Oh no, because I was too busy watching the B, O, I R report. Because remember when I told y'all last week where it was mandatory? Well, now it's not again, and so it's not again. I'm just waiting on it to be, oh, it's a requirement again, that they're so back and forth. It's back and forth. And it seems like there's a lot of indecisiveness with this completion. I

Tiffani Lloyd 2:28
want to know who is the person that is like actually making it go back into back and forth. Judges. I'm just saying who, which judges is what I'm saying, who the judge you

Leaha Crawford 2:39
want to and I don't have that information. And if I knew you were going to ask me that, I would have looked it up. But if they're federal judges, yeah, so they're Federal Circuit judges, yes, that are going back and forth, and I'm just, but it just shows the indecisiveness, right? Because this thing was mandatory for 12, for 11 months, and then all of then, all of a sudden, it's not then, it is then, it's not Yeah, and days within days, within days. So I but no, just again, the nine year, yeah, Completion, yeah, what

Tiffani Lloyd 3:10
are you completing cycles? So what's interesting was, is, when I was doing my energy recap, what I was shown, in regards to it is that January of this completion year, you're either moving out of a completion into something new, or you are moving into the completion, and it should be completed by the spring because, you know, we have in in a lot of eyes, three new years. We have the calendar New Year. We have our birth new year, and then we have the spring equinox, which is actual old calendar New Year that we actually recognize. So what's interesting to me is I was doing an assessment on New Year's Eve to determine where I am in my cycle of completion, and a lot of it has already closed out, and a lot of newness is beginning. But there are some things that are still closing out, and they will not be completed until the spring. And when I was doing my, like, my personal cycle, I'm like, this is really something well,

Leaha Crawford 4:10
but the thing about it is, is that if you look at everything, because I think in everyone's life, there are going to be three different things going on, and you have to unjust, because it's not just, Oh, I'm just this one thing. Because everything is fluid, yeah, and as is by being fluid, I just say you just be open to the possibilities, let go and love. Because things that you know, things that are no longer relevant, you know, you just let go and love. People think that you got to leave and you got to be angry and you got to be upset. No, you let go in love, and sometimes you don't have to do anything. Things just fall off.

Tiffani Lloyd 4:43
Well, they fall off. And the I'm I like that. You said letting go. We'll get to the in love part later, but the letting go is huge, but because we hold on so tight, I was just having a conversation with someone about something that was falling apart. In their personal story, and they're like, I cannot believe that I held on for so long, and because I held on for so long, and she was talking about a relationship, they were a beautiful couple. I mean, to see them, it was just this connectedness that was so beautiful. But she would not recognize when it was time to let go. He decided that he no longer wanted to be in the relationship, and he was very honest and upfront that I do, I no longer want this. I no longer desire this. And because they had built so much together, and because they had planned so much together, she was like, you, you'll, you'll, you'll, change your mind, traumatized, but she's traumatized, and what ended up happening was, she said, the toxicity that arose from that she's like, he turned into something that I did not recognize. And it was because she kept pushing and pushing and pushing so she recognized it at first that she was like, Oh, he's turned demonic on me. And it was not he was responding to her not honoring what he's what his desires were. And throughout the duration of their relationship, it had been this cohesiveness that was so magical to experience with them. So she could not let go of that magic, even though he was telling her and showing her that I no longer want this. So it was crazy, because she was like, she's gone through all of these cycles in this in the past three months. And she said it was, but she's still, she's still healing from the whole, you know, resentment part, but she's recognizing the part that she played in this, right? Well, that's

Leaha Crawford 6:36
always too Right? Because we play, when you play it out, and I don't really get into relationships. I don't really get into relationship conversations, hopefully, because I believe, because, honestly, I look at everything, is it a season, a reason, or a lifetime? And all relationships are not lifetime relationships. And maybe she needed to experience the magic, because magic is beautiful. But both people participate, yes, in relationships, yeah. And when one person says, I no longer want this, you have to honor that. Even if you don't agree, you have to honor that. And she's

Tiffani Lloyd 7:09
now realizing that is where her and and, and, but it can't be wishy washy either, because you can't be going back and forth, right? And, yeah, absolutely. But then she's also recognizing how she was beating herself up because she was, you know, over the part that she played, and she's in the space now, I need to give myself grace for just that learning curve, and me actually learning, experiencing and going through that and not bashing myself because she was bashing herself, and was Like, you are terrible. You are did it? Listen, yes, we're gonna we're human, and we are going to mess up, you know, we win, we lose, we get back up. But what was fascinating was to hear the journey, and she walked me through it, and it was beautiful, because she was walking through it, and as she was walking through it. She was recognizing, oh, I am healing from this. I am shifting out of this. And the

Leaha Crawford 8:07
shift out is interesting, yeah, because I remember, I mean, just having a conversation with, just with people in general, and watching Healthy People. And I know we know toxic people. Yeah, we know dysfunctional people, but there are some healthy people. And watching how Healthy People carry themselves, watching how they can become but fast, watching how just how they move, why they move a certain way, and also being able to manifest what they want in their lives. And when you're talking about another person, it's, it multiplies if me and you agree. But if you're somewhere, if you Okay, let's take the radio show for for instance, it works because we both want to be here, and we will do what is necessary for us to be here, right, right? But if one of us says, I no longer want to do this, it's not going to be good, right? Right? Because the energy shifts, the energy shifts, the energy changes. And that's with every relationship. And when you start to honor people tiff I know for me, learning to honor somebody's wishes, because I've had an interesting situation when someone said to me, you know, lead, I don't want to do this anymore, and my comment was, the old Leo probably would have did something different, but the new one said, I respect you, yeah, and I respect your wishes. And three weeks later, I get a call, but I respect I respect your wishes, right? Because in respecting somebody's respecting people's boundaries, yeah, and a lot of times we do that, like someone might say, my boundary is, if my boundary at the office is, don't park in my parking space, that's all, don't just don't park in my parking space, right? My staff knows that, right? So whether I'm coming to if they know I'm coming to the office or not, because sometimes I just drive by just to see you. Yeah, nobody's parked in my parking space. That's my boundary. I just ask that. I just can park in this one space. That's That's what I'm asking. That's all I'm asking, that's all I'm asking. Is that all you're asking so well, but, but what I'm saying is, that's my boundary, right, right? And I think when people start they, you know, people look at boundaries differently, because you can communicate your boundaries in a healthy way, and that's why I say letting go in love. So when you let go and someone says that I don't, you know, I don't want to do this, or like say, when you leave a job, people think you got to be upset and you got to turn no you can. I know this. No, this no longer serves. This is not where I want to be right now. I want to do something different, because how you leave determines how if you can come back. I think

Tiffani Lloyd 10:44
a lot of people, though, feel is if, again, I think we talked about this before, how they feel like they have to create a disruption so that they can justify their actions, rather than standing in their personal power. Because most people don't recognize that me not having to explain myself, me actually stating that this is just no longer a good fit for me, and it being okay, and it's we, we feel like we have to over explain or over justify, and a lot of that has to come through chaos, because in that chaos, you can Find a way to justify why you've done what you've done now, don't

Leaha Crawford 11:23
get me wrong sometimes, I mean, and I understand, you know, positive, good trouble, right? I understand that.

Tiffani Lloyd 11:31
But does it have to be that? It absolutely never has to be that, in my opinion, honestly, I think it's, it's that, that interpersonal maturity, that we don't talk about enough, that people are carrying around so much of their their traumas that they don't deal with. And it's going to always come up in some way, shape or form, and because our relationships are how they display, we have to learn to look at and again, that's, as we like to say, doing your work a lot of times we don't know what that work needs to be, but let me give you something that if you are constantly running up this, up against the same wall, and there's always just this limitation in this area, this one area of your existence, in your life, nine times out of 10, that's the area that you need to focus on to do the work. That's where the divine source your higher self wants to work with you to grow and expand your being. And this life, I call it schoolyard Earth, and it's literally a space and a place where we're constantly learning, learning, growing and expanding. We do it through relationships and through our connectivity, depending on what your belief is. You know, a lot of people believe that we only get this one chance. We do get this one particular life. But I also believe in evolution, and I believe that energy is never destroyed. It just transforms, which lets me know that this ain't my only rodeo, and each time that I come here, there's an aspect of me that wants to expand in a certain way, so I don't, I think I'm getting a little

Leaha Crawford 13:06
bit, but let me say this, but let's go back. Let's go back because you said a word maturity, and I call it the teenage temper tan, or those five year old temper tantrums. And those teenage temper tantrums because the maturity level of people, right? Because a five year old temper tantrum, a teenager might throw a temper tantrum, but as an adult, how can you use your words? A lot of people use your word. How to do that? Learn how to use your

Tiffani Lloyd 13:35
words. And so the temper tantrums, they carry them with them, and that's what so they don't call it the two year old or the high school. They just, they literally just what they crashed out. That's, that's their

Leaha Crawford 13:47
and I look at it though, right? Because I watch, I watch certain I watch people, and especially when I'm sitting in large especially when stuff is going on, and I think I was, I was on tick tock or something, and me and a girlfriend we had went to go eat yesterday, one other day, and we were she was showing me a video someone tick tock, and the woman was upset, and she was hollering and screaming. A guy was taping her and and I'm looking at it, and I'm just like, wow, you could see the hurt. You could see the pain, because it's something simple as somebody messed your food order up. So why do I have to throw a temper tantrum if my food order was messed up? Wait, that's the reason why she was throwing a temper tantrum asking for money back at a drive through. And I'm sitting there and I'm watching it, and all I could think is, wow, because to me, it is my order is not correct. This is what I ordered. Can I have without, you know, can I have? You know, can we correct it? If not, can I get a refund? And the more I learned, the more I realized I didn't know, but the calmer I become, and you're right when you are going up again. That wall. And what I also like to say is, if something makes you upset, that's where you need to do the work. Absolutely, when you get upset, when you feel that blood boiling and you because you could feel it, the blood boiling, stomach turning, uh huh, or

Tiffani Lloyd 15:13
when you easily are offended, because it's not even like the anger, it's just the offense that I'm offended by what they said to me, but why are you offended? Why are you offended? Because if it wasn't a space of okay, I need to work in this area, it would just go right over your head, and it's okay, it's okay to be angry, and it's okay to allow things to get under your skin sometimes, because this is how we know that I need to work in the areas, but I think it's important that identify. You need to work that identify. And then what do I need to do? A lot of people are in a space, and I say a lot of people, because I'm not speaking of the segment of the of the world who are actually doing their work. I'm talking about the people who always actively state, well, this is just how I am. I was I was born this way. This is how I was raised. And evolution is something that never stops. There's nothing constant but change. And people, I understand that, that we need something that we can hold on to. And sometimes it's just those old habits. Sometimes it's just as this is just the way it is. And we can talk about, let's get into the food and how, because your family fixed these foods growing up and fed you these foods growing up, that doesn't mean that that's right for your body. That's not as you grow and you expand. It does not mean that that's what you need to ingest, right? But a lot of people, and I'm gonna keep saying a lot of people like, well, this is just how we were raised, eating pigs feet and, you know, and hog molds and what's those things, and pig intestines and

Leaha Crawford 16:49
those things, you know, that's just, it was so funny. I've never had any of that, though, I've never had, I've never had any other and that's good because, well, no, I've never know what to think about even now. Because, okay, so right now we're doing the Daniel fast, so for 21 days, it's eating fruits, vegetables, lentils, beans, and just being real creative with it, then watching all the refined sugar, refined salts. You said we? Who is we? So we is a what's a group of people. So Marcus Allen was on here. Marcus Allen actually introduced me to it some some years ago. And it's actually a group on Facebook. A couple of churches do it. I have some friends that go to different churches around town. They're also participating, okay? And what it is, is it's interesting, because David, that came on here, actually did my juices for me. So I have something, something in the house. And you know, every couple of days he'll come by and drop off, I'm drinking seven juices a day, and, like I had cucumbers earlier today, I'll eat a salad when I go home, but just eating everything on the outside aisles with no meat. So

Tiffani Lloyd 17:50
the purpose of the Daniel fast is, is what for me.

Leaha Crawford 17:53
So for me it is google it as always. But for me it is, what is your relationship with your Creator, whoever you may call your relationship with God, your relationship with the universe, and being in a place where I can say thank you. So it is praying and meditating. It is me realizing the work that I need to do on me. What do I need to do? Why do I need to do it? Some people in churches, they're reading certain scriptures and reading the Scripture, but also bringing the scripture to life. And what does that Scripture mean today? How can we translate it today? And it's being around like minds, because now that my girlfriends are respectful, because some of them are not doing it Okay, and one of them, she had baked this from what I understand, this amazing Christy, I'm saying hi to you this amazing chocolate pound cake with chocolate frosting. Okay? And she's like, Lee, I want to bring it to you. I'm like, Christy, I'm doing a Daniel fast. She was like, Okay, I'll bring it back to office and give it to the staff. Okay, not a problem, bring it. And she did. I was sitting there. She they were like, well, she said, But loving her, I know, Christy, she'll make another one when I'm done with this. Okay? And like, I made one just for you. It's, it's about for me, getting closer to the Creator, but also really understanding who is. Leah Crawford, okay, what do I want? Okay, you know, or what is in store for me in this lifetime. Did I ever think I would be doing a radio show, absolutely not. So

Tiffani Lloyd 19:22
the Daniel fast is how long this is, 21 days. So that kind of leads into the other areas that I wanted to talk about, because I wanted to talk about the trends that people are embarking upon for their particular New Years to reset. So you're doing the Daniel fast for 21 days. And this is something you do yearly, correct, annually. And actually, we even talked about, it's funny, because we were talking about doing it quarterly, okay, or

Leaha Crawford 19:51
changing your diet. I was talking to nail tech the other day, and she's like, Leah, you ever try to do a diet? By your blood type.

Tiffani Lloyd 20:00
Absolutely, that's I use. I've actually wrote a curriculum about 10 years ago about the blood type and literally functioning and eating for your blood type, your blood type. And that's really fascinating. You brought that up because I literally wrote a curriculum, right?

Leaha Crawford 20:15
No, she talked about 10 years basically eating for your blood type. And yeah, but she's like, Have you ever noticed? Because I think about it, when you eat certain foods, you're drowsy. I need to bring that back out, actually, yeah, you need to write that down, bring that back out. But you eat certain foods, you're drowsy. I also watch I'm a big proponent of, you know, I've learned to cook finally, because wanting to control the salt and ingredients that I am ingesting in my body, right? So it was funny. I was because Henrietta and I were laughing about it. She was like, Okay, well, try this recipe and try I was like, Oh, I got a whole bunch of okay, come on, just keep on going. But I learned I like to cook. Actually, I love

Tiffani Lloyd 20:59
cooking. That's evolution. That is, that's evolution, a whole evolution, evolution. Never Have you thought you'd be on the radio. Never had you thought you would go in the kitchen

Leaha Crawford 21:09
and, well, loving it like, honestly, Tiff the energy I get when I'm chopping vegetables, when I'm seasoning when I'm I mean, just do and not using salt, right? And the food is amazing. I'm like, oh my god, this is good. It's a transformation. Yeah, it was, it was it took some time. Well, it took some time, but, you know, it's here. Now, about it's here. Now, come on, let's talk about these trends. So the trends,

Tiffani Lloyd 21:33
let's get into the trends. One of the trends that has fascinated me, there's four of them. Okay? First one is no buy 2025 now, apparently this became big last year, and I had never heard of it, but it's literally structuring your life where you are not buying anything that you don't need for the entire year, and the only reason you're purchasing something say you have a pair of tennis shoes that you go running in, and a new pair comes out in the spring, until those shoes wear out, you are not purchasing another pair of shoes. You're not buying anything unless you're having to replace something that's tore up or tore down in your house, your clothes, everything in your life, and and people are like, literally, like, revamping their lives. And again, this was huge last year. I had never heard

Leaha Crawford 22:24
of it. No, about 25 okay, so no one got that 125

Tiffani Lloyd 22:28
like they are buying nothing that is not that purchase out of necessity. Um, and it's so funny, because people a lot of so what if you thought I got

Leaha Crawford 22:37
a question, though? I got a question. I got a question. Go ahead. What if I am working out lose weight. None of the clothes fit. So I got nothing wrong with the clothes, right? But I can't fit them anymore.

Tiffani Lloyd 22:46
You're having to replace them. I have to replace but that's with reason. You're not just frivolously purchasing things. Okay? So a lot of the people that I've seen that are doing it are the makeup that they're just constantly consuming, the perfumes, the shoes, just because they're cute, all of these things that because this consumerism that's like, and again, everybody's having to tighten their wallets right now, and it's no buy 25 is like I spent. They're literally adding up and saying I spent 1000s upon 1000s of dollars frivolously last year. Let me rearrange my finances so that I can actually invest in something different. And so they're taking that money, and they're investing, investing in their lives. And it's fascinating. Again, I'd never heard of it before this year, so

Leaha Crawford 23:33
then I strike that earlier because, because you said, don't buy I was like, don't buy nothing without

Tiffani Lloyd 23:39
reason, without reason, you without reason. It needs to be something that it's and don't make

Leaha Crawford 23:43
a Lea reason, sorry, because. Leah, reasons. You know, I have a whole reason for you. That's the reason why you need those shoes, baby. Why? Because, just because outfit. And one day I'm aware, and one day so, right, the one day I'm gonna wear them. Okay? Next

Tiffani Lloyd 23:57
one is dry January, you know, because we all know dry January, as you're not drinking or consuming any alcoholic beverages for the entire month of January, and it's a form of detox. So I messaged my little brother yesterday, and I was like, are you doing dry January? And he's like, I hadn't thought about it. Are you? And I said, with all due respect and all capital letters, absolutely not my one is very fun. It's a detox within itself. The next one, so dry January, okay, so basically, that is, you know, consuming any alcohol of any for the entire month of January. Okay, so you detoxing,

Leaha Crawford 24:35
all right, you've been listening to growth and grace. I am Leah Crawford. I'm Tiffany Lloyd, and we are going through the trends for this 2025

Tiffani Lloyd 24:43
as we're setting up our new year and we're rebooting, rejuvenating and recreating our lives, 75 hard challenge. This is another challenge that, again, blew up in 2024 but 75 hard is 75 days. Yeah, and every day, you have a list of things that you have to do every single day, right? And you might be very close to this challenge in your everyday life personally, because it's, you have to have a 45 minute workout twice a day, right? One needs to have to has to be indoors. One has to be outdoors, but we have to do that. The next one is, you have to have be on a meal program. No cheat days, absolutely, of course, no alcohol. It's kind of like the dry January. You have to drink a gallon of water every single day. You have to write 10 pages in a journal every day. And you have to read at least, I think it's

Leaha Crawford 25:38
just 10 pages. It says 10 or 20 pages, no,

Tiffani Lloyd 25:41
10 pages of self help, 10 pages of self help, uh huh, and then, and no, the 10 pages of the self help book of has, it can't be, it can't be non it can't be fiction, yeah, it can't be fiction. Has to be non fiction. And then you have, and then one, that's the five, and then another one is journal every single day, right? And then the soft, the 75 soft challenge is the I can't do all that.

Leaha Crawford 26:11
So no, we have honestly, and it's okay. So let me say this journaling 10 pages a day is challenging, even for those that write journaling. Journal, no, no,

Tiffani Lloyd 26:20
you're not. It's not 10 days to reading the 10 pages of real help. So reading

Leaha Crawford 26:24
journaling every day, journaling, okay, yeah, I do that. Yeah. So it's not journaling 10 pages. It's reading the 10 pages of the self help. My challenge would be the second workout, the second 45 the second 45 minutes, because I do the first 45 in the morning, okay, but from what I understand, one workout is supposed to be indoors and the other one is supposed to be outdoors. And because of because of the time and it being dark is the sun not coming up to 630 and then going down at six o'clock, I'm kind of working during the day of time hours, so it makes it challenging to do one outside, not unless I have a male companion or, you know, just doing it with one of my girlfriends and we're doing something outside that makes that challenge

Tiffani Lloyd 27:08
conversation, because my neighborhood, it's like you when you walk from my house and down to the end of my neighborhood and back, it's two miles, right, right? That used to be my regular evening workout, right? And the energy has just shifted. And I used to do by myself with my, you know, my beats on and and I don't feel that safety any longer. And it's so crazy how it's shifted, because I used to feel like nobody's touching me, and now I walk in, this is eeriness in the air, and I have to honor it. And it's so funny, because I'm like, There's no way I'm gonna go out without my big dog or without Matt, because it's just not happening. And

Leaha Crawford 27:46
that's the other thing too, because I was Christy, same girlfriend, yeah, we were walking at 530 in the morning. She Well, we would get on our phones, she would walk in her neighborhood, and I will walk in mine. And when time change. Well, kids went back to school, and then the time change. And we're like, okay, so we just can't do this again until the spring, until time shifts back. Children are out of school, and then we'll pick it up. Because she's like, when you pick the hottest day in the summer to decide you want to go walking, and our first day outside, she was like, Oh my God, it is absolutely gorgeous out here. 530 in the morning, it's quiet, it's serene, yeah, but the sun is up, right? So that was my other concern, just being in the dark and safety, yeah, you want to do this, but you also want to be safe Absolutely.

Tiffani Lloyd 28:28
So depending on where you are, I'd be interested to hear like those who are listening. I wish there was a way they could call in and say, tell us what their resolutions are for their January shifts, because so many people, they vary, right? We're sharing. We shared five here today. The Daniel fast, the no by 2025. Dry January, 75 hard and 75 soft challenge, I would be interested. And so we can't hear you, but think about what are some things that you'd like to shift and change on your journey starting this January. And you wanna know, even though we can't,

Leaha Crawford 29:09
we're gonna find a way to engage with listeners so that they so that we can have active conversation. That would be awesome. Well, you've been listening to growth and grace. I am Leah Crawford, and this is Tiffany Lloyd, and we have a pleasure, yes, and we will talk to you next week. We will have some interesting people on this year bringing you some good information. Enjoy your weekend. Peace and blessings. You.
