Behind The Authentic Edge

WEBVTT
00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:06.177
Welcome to The Authentic Edge. I'm Toks Aratare and in four minutes or less,
00:00:06.397 --> 00:00:11.117
I'll share practical insights to help you align your mindset,
00:00:11.997 --> 00:00:16.937
live authentically and start your day with clarity. Let's dive in.
00:00:18.477 --> 00:00:21.537
I hope your weekend was epic
00:00:21.537 --> 00:00:25.917
if not epic then great or good i
00:00:25.917 --> 00:00:29.237
had an interesting one and i realized that
00:00:29.237 --> 00:00:36.397
hey i started the authentic edge and did not really introduce myself or talk
00:00:36.397 --> 00:00:42.177
much about what's behind uh the voice so i want to thank you for joining me
00:00:42.177 --> 00:00:48.597
i had assumed that the listeners will be migrating over from Living Inside Out.
00:00:48.597 --> 00:00:53.477
I didn't think that I will have brand new listeners who have never heard about me.
00:00:53.697 --> 00:00:57.397
My name, as you know, is Toks Arutere and I'm a storyteller.
00:00:57.697 --> 00:01:01.017
I learn lessons and I love to tell them as stories.
00:01:01.317 --> 00:01:07.237
I'm also mom to four of the most amazing young men and I'm married to Jason,
00:01:07.537 --> 00:01:14.997
my incognito husband, who hates digital footprints and swears that one day nobody
00:01:14.997 --> 00:01:17.357
will find him online ever.
00:01:18.917 --> 00:01:24.877
I used to say that my business, The Baby Cut Shop, exists to teach me life lessons,
00:01:24.877 --> 00:01:28.717
but I've stopped saying that because words are powerful, okay? And I'm done.
00:01:29.437 --> 00:01:34.017
But more importantly, because The Baby Cut Shop exists to make me money as it
00:01:34.017 --> 00:01:38.137
makes a difference in the lives of affluent families around the world.
00:01:38.137 --> 00:01:45.197
We specialize in the world's most beautiful furniture and interiors for babies and children.
00:01:45.577 --> 00:01:50.817
Our location is in Chelsea, London, and we've got a boutique that also houses
00:01:50.817 --> 00:01:53.917
our design center and our in-house brand.
00:01:54.137 --> 00:01:58.757
So many of my life lessons really do come from my business because business
00:01:58.757 --> 00:02:01.417
is a whole personality all by itself.
00:02:01.417 --> 00:02:07.977
I decided to start sharing life lessons regularly because one day I started
00:02:07.977 --> 00:02:11.157
to see life as a path that we're all traveling on.
00:02:11.377 --> 00:02:16.217
You've got yours and I've got mine and I believe that whatever is on my path
00:02:16.217 --> 00:02:21.017
has been sanctioned and ordained by God and that's another thing.
00:02:21.197 --> 00:02:28.157
I'm a Christian and my foundation is Christianity which means that a lot of
00:02:28.157 --> 00:02:34.837
the lessons I learned are formed against the backdrop of my faith and many of
00:02:34.837 --> 00:02:37.997
my solutions are found in the Bible.
00:02:37.997 --> 00:02:43.357
But I promise you that you don't have to be a person of faith to benefit from
00:02:43.357 --> 00:02:48.477
the authentic edge or living inside out or anything else I'm doing now or I
00:02:48.477 --> 00:02:52.157
plan to do in the future because it is life.
00:02:53.233 --> 00:03:00.433
The day I sat back to have a soul searching session about why I had very clear
00:03:00.433 --> 00:03:03.633
dreams and desires, but they did not materialize,
00:03:03.833 --> 00:03:12.113
was when I discovered that I needed to start journaling and I read my journal from time to time.
00:03:12.353 --> 00:03:15.113
Enough about me. I'd like to hear about you.
00:03:15.573 --> 00:03:22.553
