Ep. 5 Begin Again: The Art Of Picking Yourself Up & Trying 1 More Time!

Begin again instead.
Every time we start over we also attempt to erase our past or erase us or at least parts of us. I know many of us are struggling to forgive ourselves of our past mistakes or struggles or regrets. Or we wish we had been or done differently in the past. But when we look to erase these parts of our story or completely start over, we don't honor who we are today.
I would not be this happier, healthier, healing person without my past.
I would not be this happier, healthier, healing person without my mistakes.
I would not be this happier, healthier, healing person without the previous unhappy, unhealthy, suffering person I was before.

Welcome to my Channel. I'm Tami, a Jamaican woman born and raised on my beautiful Island home, Jamaica.
A former singer/songwriter (PKA: Tami Chynn) turned entrepreneur, I'm a MULTI-POTENTIALITE who's done everything from own and operate a full service salon to having my own radio show.
I've been married to my Husband (Wayne : PKA Wayne Marshall) for almost 14 years and I'm a mom of 3 beautiful sons (Jax 9yrs, Atlas 6yrs and Oz 3yrs) and my 1 and only daughter, Ivy (7mths). I also have a beautiful, blended family, from time to time you will meet Wayn'e eldest son (my bonus boy) Gio (17yrs)
Almost 3years ago, we started a family VLOG "Meet The Mitchells" and it's been an incredible journey so far.
AND now...
Here I am, ready to share about anything and everything... Motherhood, Marriage, Recipes, Beauty, Lifestyle and whatever lies between. I also want to foster great conversations and make this a safe space for women...especially my Caribbean Women all over the world!!!
Hope you enjoy and cant wait to go on this journey with you.
BIG LOVE ♥️
Tami

[@claudenechang3779]

Don't change anything about the show and how you talk. I love love the different accents. Makes me laugh. Ans for all the viewers who have an issue with it have a drink and loosen up it's not that serious. You need some joy in your life continue watching and get some......

[@julineplunkett3114]

I agree , am here for it keep it coming

[@andreamiller135]

Agreed! I was confusion lol 😜

[@raun7069]

Hilarious!!!! I love this sisterhood so much! I feel like I am a part of the conversation everytime. Please keep it up, ladies. #T&TTE

[@angelabennett7843]

It’s a therapeutic feeling to watch Tami and Tes thank you both appreciate to the max

[@marietawhite2171]

so true...very relaxing

[@lisadavis4834]

I can't help but laugh every time Tess laughed.

[@lornamoore9222]

Thank you my baby sisters! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 Feeling so many emotions right now. I am worthy! God bless you both! I thank your mom and dad for raising such beautiful beautiful women! I would like to begin again with being more happy with myself and laughing more often.

[@lornamoore9222]

Lol lol lol “my fitness was always fluffy” Lawks a can’t manage! Tessi you are a joy! Needed to hear Tessi laugh and Tami’s wise words! Much love and abundant blessings to you both!

[@mariespence9965]

I can listen to Tessie’s laughter and the sister banter all day long❤️❤️❤️. Love this convo, as usual

[@jaywee2143]

This podcast was everything... the random convos in between... to only "begin (talking about the topic) again" lol. ❤

[@andrepalmer7796]

Watching this is like a therapy session… “let me fall the man I am becoming will catch me “ #tears …. Thanks

[@SeenAndHeardTamiAndTessanne]

Thanks Andre!!! Remember though WE ARE NOT THERAPISTS 😂😂😂😂😂

[@andrepalmer7796]

I know but every week this my session… almost like church

[@shammys3615]

I know what it's like to begin again. I drove across 14 states in four days and four nights, to start over after a short marriage and messy divorce. It was so hard but like Tammi said " It only takes that one person to help you be ready again" Thanks Mommy for that bridge and your prayers. ❤😊😊❤ Lovely conversation ladies. I Enjoyed it!

[@petafoster3625]

Blessings 🎉

[@sage.anderson]

My thing that I want to begin again or actually start really, is living for me. I am 24 and starting to step away from the expectations that others have of me. I want to treat myself as someone I love. I too, like Tessie, want to be more present in my life and out of my head. Overall, I just want to thrive with peace, laughter, love and acceptance of self. This felt like such a relief to write. Thank you for this safe space and laughter Tami and Tessie ❤❤❤❤ Be gentle with yourself my fellow Virgo, I know how we can get sometimes. See you next week 🤗🤗🤗

[@Tessanne]

I love this, right there with you ❤

[@anavick9414]

Thanks for a another great episode, you two are a 😂comedy pair😂😂😂😂

[@TheQueenIsWithin]

Refreshing to hear two Jamaican women with their own platform with such an inspiring message.

[@estherblairjohnson5843]

I began to become the God fearing woman he called me to be and the young lady with dignity!

[@afimiown4294]

Yasssssssssss we wouldn’t be US without our past

[@justbelit]

that 49:00 I cried. Tess could be a life coach / therapist. this chat is so healing

[@kamoyhowe9076]

You even see the adoration in Tami's face 😊

[@a-plusexquisitedecor1865]

What are the odds of seeing this title after having a discussion with someone this morning about taking a particular opportunity as a second chance in their life. And this was after I was thinking the same for myself. The universe is speaking, this is divine. God works in mysterious ways

[@SeenAndHeardTamiAndTessanne]

Divine timing!!!!

[@onelove835]

Infinite Blessings sisters............................Tami and Tess you both came into this Universe to give us moments of enlightenment..........with hands clasped

[@caroles3425]

Seriously, Amen. GREAT MESSAGE for everyone @ any age or stage. Perfect Timing with the stage of the world right now.

[@judythomas-king324]

You ladies are such a joy. I just love Tessi laugh. She is such a happy and beautiful soul. Tami love you too. You alway bring a cool and positive vibes. Wishing you both much success in life, and with this podcast. Luv it!! 😊❤🙏🏾

Thanks for letting me feeling so blessed each time I really love your KZbin page❤❤

[@cecilehew4530]

Tami and Tess- I love these Saturday chats. Loving the new space. Move the chat to that lovely couch for a sweeeet ambience (just saying).

[@ThisMightBeTherapy]

When Tessane said "you are worthy" I felt that. My September sister!

[@lisagumbsgda]

Silent cousin here from Barbados. I love when you both switch up accents, whether American, Jamaican, Trinidadian, Bajan, British. I find myself doing it now too😂. I see it as an appreciation and honouring of other cultures.

[@kimbim]

What a therapeutic, soothing conversation. This one really touched my entire soul❤ appreciate you ladies❤

[@stacyfoster512]

Powerful!! My Saturdays are not the same!! Tami and Tessanne tackle everything is a life changer ❤❤.

[@racheldepestre8348]

Thank you for the beautiful reminder that I AM WORTHY!!!! Often as women, we forget this truth. Be blessed!

[@joanlawrence6658]

Thank you ladies, I needed to hear all of this, a grandma who needed a push to keep moving 👏🏽👏🏽❤️👍🏽👍🏽

[@cassandraclarke9734]

You are making me cry. So inspiring. I'm so encouraged right now to begin again. Thank you for your quotes. 😊 I want to begin to live and enjoy and accept myself.

[@TobyTV]

I began working out again in the middle of the week. That alone is progress because I usually tell myself to wait until Monday lol

[@shammys3615]

If I continue watching you ladies on a Saturday they gonna kick me out of my condo with these big laughs ! 😂😂😂 Hush MOMO

[@SeenAndHeardTamiAndTessanne]

Laughter is soooo good for you!!!! Momonis doing great. She and I were laughing sooo hard when she was telling me story, she could hardly breathe!!!!

[@melissalevy4091]

You guys are on a divine purpose! I am sending you guys so much positive vibrations on this journey. You guys are bringing so much joy to people, if you are ever in doubt just know you were meant to do this. Don't know you guys personally but have so much love for you

[@SeenAndHeardTamiAndTessanne]

Wow Melissa! Thanks so much. We receive it wholeheartedly ❤ ps. Our grandfathers last name was Levy and it’s Atlas’ middle name too 🤗🤗🤗

[@judithdixon7207]

Thanks a lot Tammie and Tessi I truly enjoyed this series I will surely be beginning again with things I have had on my plate. BLESSINGS e

[@Trinity25Apr]

You can't be sure that the children weren't the ones who brought the dreaded lurgy to you but were themselves asymptomatic 😮Now the little darlings are back to school collecting little germ riddled gems to bring back to you guys once again 😂 Tessies fitness was always fluffy 😊 what a lovely phrase. Both sisters are going to meet their fitness goals because they have each others support, and children who will not let them sit down for long. They already have a determined mindset. Speak in whatever accent you want it's not offensive, and so long as you're not being derogatory no obe should feel upset, it's an affectation that most of us simply do. I'm English but slip into Trinbago Patois at the tip of a hat because it's what I know. It's what I heard growing up and I love it. How can you not speak with a US accent at times? It's so much part of most of our lives too. I'm Sept born ♍️. Great vlog ladies. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@crysally]

Yes Tess. I am now becoming more present in my life. Coming out of my head and living in the moment with people I love and enjoy

[@petafoster3625]

You are loved and appreciated. You guys makes me ready to come home to Jamaica 🇯🇲 🎉

[@afimiown4294]

So happy the babies didn’t get sick

[@effiejohnson2324]

Thank you ladies! This episode spoke so much to me. That quote, "Let me fall if I must, the woman I'm becoming will catch me" spoke to my soul. I had to stop, rewind, and play inorder to write it in my book. Bless you both for this podcast. 🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@heathergranwash]

I did the same too

[@areleesdelites1]

Tami and Tessie thank you both for this, this episode is what we all need, I'm a grandmother of five girls, the youngest is nine, and she is so active, I have to be playing bowling, volleyball tennis and all these games, it's on the TV but your actually moving to play these games, and I love it because it allows me to move my body, someone is listening to this episode and saying yes I really ,really need this, I needed this, so thank you, love you both, may God bless you both in everything you do💕💕💕

[@shivonnebarry6072]

These podcasts do so much to my mind and soul . Thank you, guys, for feeding my mind and soul . And mi ah silent cousin round ah MTM .

Hi Ladies, I am enjoying your program. I Can identify with the the starting the gym again and stuff going bad in the refrigerator because I live alone. God bless you and your family😊

[@514relaxmode]

Don't y'all dare stop with de accents! LUV IT!!😎

[@ThePurplePapillonRecords]

When I tell you this is what I needed to hear today. Been in a mindset of what is the point of doing all that I'm doing and this has certainly brought some clarity. A push that I definitely needed to continue the journey ten toes down and chin up. Love you guys

[@s.o.s.crawford83]

As an African American woman from Southern California I love any accent you guys use. I'm going to share this with my Sister because we love each other and it's not often to find Sisters that love each other! I'm enjoying your topics, thanks!

[@SeenAndHeardTamiAndTessanne]

Thanks so much for that. Like we said, it’s never meant in an offensive way AT ALL!!!! Glad you enjoyed this episode and DO share with your sister please!!!!!

yes, yes......humble yourself, accept yourself, love yourself and begin again.......Amen

[@kimopple]

I needed this. I'm recovering from a relationship I thought i would be in but turns out I wasn't the one, he played me and I've lost so much of myself trying to prove my worth. I'm started my healing journey and rediscovering who I am and shaping the woman I know I am to be. My heart is broken but I just have to begin again.

[@julineplunkett3114]

So much laughter when you guys on ❤️❤️👍🏻

[@jaykingston4866]

Feel better soon beautiful ladies beautiful sisters Bless u both. Recovery is such a painful process but so rewarding.

You got this Jay!!! Also, good looking out with the Broccoli

[@revajohnson5243]

I definitely feel like this whole episode was made for me. Thank you.

[@JusTess876]

I agree with Tessanne. I want to be more present in myself. Love myself more so that I’m able to fully love others. Outside of that, I would like to begin painting/drawing & writing poetry again. I find that I find peace in those things. 🤗

[@SeenAndHeardTamiAndTessanne]

Do it!!!!

[@chrismurdoch9042]

Lawks! So wonderful seeing you both back. This episode had all the ingredients of funny, relatability, inspiration, truth and vulnerability. Tears with the “Alanis” lyrics. Thanks!

These talks are so relatable, and an hour passes so quickly... Keep on showing up and we will be here❤

[@mercedesabisdid7529]

I had to learn… life is like walking. You don’t think about it… you just walk by putting one step in front of the other… sometimes u might slip trip or slide but no matter what… u get up… u step up & walk again 🤓

[@leewlk6515]

Welcome back beautifuls.... Great to know you are both well... Always such a pleasure to meet in the space with refreshing laughter and wonderfully awesome blessed smiles.... Just loving it... ❤

[@tilted_notbroken950]

You know I’m reading other comments and I’m fighting tears bc I am realizing that I am not alone going through life and breathing and beginning again, but while doing so not tucking the troubles and fears away and being a ‘strong’ person, but realizing that it is ok to be vulnerable with ourselves and those who are our true shoulders. Bwoy mi nah lie, oonu a do supm to me today

[@JusTess876]

Hey ladies! You guys sound like how I sounded some weeks back. It knocked me bad. Everyone was down in my house. And it wasn’t Covid. Get well soon T&T! Going to watch for the message and then come back and comment again after I’m finished.

[@keishachinscott4295]

This is indeed a therapy I needed...as I battle in finding myself again from finding myself worthy and be free to LOVE ME ...I NEED to be free from broken marriage and other relationships I was faced with..I literally broke in tears ...thanks beautiful Queens...you're here for such a time as this.

[@donnap3234]

Ladies, Ladies, your podcast is a winner! I look forward to seeing you guys very Saturday. Keep up the good work. What I will start again is college. Yes, I want to finish what I started. ❤

[@chelseawalters6242]

I need to begin again with truly believing that I am worthy as I am right now of everything that I want in life. I don’t need to wait or to become something more to be deserving of my dreams. I don’t need anyone else to give me permission to go after my dreams or anyone else to agree that I am worthy of my dreams as I am right now.

Good quality Podcast Ladies. *There is a beautiful colour map of Jamaica in all the Telephone Directories with the Counties & all the Parishes. Cut it out of the old phone book and put it up for everyone. That is what I had to do to remind myself.

[@lindsaybrown9938]

When Tami said “I’m 40 and going back to school” this hits very close to home, thank you guys ❤

[@petulajarrett4765]

When God was blessing He looks favorable on your family because there's nothing that you guys tackle and is not good at it. Your children are all so beautiful and talented. I watched Tami and see how she brings out and enhanced her boys talents without forcing them. Love you guys sometimes I wish I was close to you all

[@reggaeog5604]

"Be More present in my life" is a rich statement and state of mind. Wow!! I am tired of splitting my thoughts in moments of time (trying to think of what my family may need), instead of experiencing, savoring and embracing the present and my part in it.. consciousnessly inhabiting the moment! That word was for me, Tesse! Blessings

[@Tessanne]

Thank you for being here ❤

This episode is so relevant to some of my experiences and where I am right now, right this moment in my life. Thank you for it! I have several things/experiences that I have to begin again, the relationship with myself, my new self, the gym, learning to love my new body after several surgeries, a new career path that I am not sure what that is going to be, and dun dun, Dating after 40! Lots of Firsts, what Tami said about us living several lifetimes is so true, I do feel that this is like a 3rd lifetime. Blessings to you ladies. Love from T&T!

So I love listening to podcasts while driving to work or just driving in general cause in NYC you need peace. I was elated when Tami bought this back especially with Tess because I love her; and the duo, *chef’s kiss*. I was bawling in traffic this mawnin, bawling! Going through a tough time and since the return this safe space has helped tremendously. Now I like to watch it on YT after I listen: why did I do that lol tears again chakras opening and aligning lollll❤ PS Tami Bridgetown, 🇧🇧!

From there till today I haven't call her & the sadd art I don't even want to be a damn nurse! I prefer Veteniran, physical therapist or try something in radiology or Sonogram.
