74 - I’M BACK BITCHES. (ft. Jessica Benstock)
I’M BACK! It’s been a long time since the last one of these Payday’s with Rayray, but today I’m joined by my best friend Jessica Benstock to share with you all why I haven’t been uploading and who better to talk about it with than Jessica, who's been right by my side. In this episode, Jessica helps me unpack all that's happened since my last episode. I've received a ton of questions from all of you over the last year about my life transitions and how I've been handling them (and not handling them). I hope this conversation gives you a deeper understanding of why I've made some major shifts in my life and where I'm headed in the future.
“I left everything to reach my highest service. But I left not knowing what my highest service would be, and I knew I wouldn’t know until I completely let go.”
This is me speaking uncensored about my experience in life because there’s been a lot of censoring that I’ve done to myself as a result of being hurt, and that’s one of the reasons I haven’t shared my story sooner. This episode is a liberation for me. So, tune in to hear Jessica and I discuss why I left absolutely everything to find what my highest service is and for the first time in my life figure out what I’m like when I’m not trying to prove that I’m good.
Here’s a glance at what you’ll hear from me in this episode:
Why I let go of every single client
What happened to OCA and what caused me to give it all up
How I plan to find and follow my north star
