Hey, Sweeties, it's Chris Renee Hazlid, and you're about to hear a special re-air of one of the most powerful episodes we've had on Keep It Posit, Sweetie.

The one and only Tyler Perry sat with me and shared his journey with a level of honesty and intention that shook so many of us.

From his early struggles to building an empire with faith and vision.

His story and his words lit a fire under this community.

I've heard so many of you say that this episode gave you clarity,

courage, and confirmation to keep going.

Whether it's your first listen or your third,

Tyler's story is the kind that hits different every single time. Hello and welcome to this episode of Keep It Positive, sweetie, guys.

I am so excited about this episode.

I have none other than my boss, the biggest boss, multi-hyphen.

You are an author, you are a writer, a director, a philanthropist, a father, everything.

Tyler Perry, my God. Hey. Hey. Hey. How you doing this? Like, I literally feel like this is my first time doing this. I was so nervous. I could like. That's so crazy because we talk all the time. All the time. Isn't it crazy? Yeah, yeah. I just wanted to make you proud and do this right. I'm already proud. I'm already proud of the other episodes. I'm proud at the title. You got to tell me how they came about. Okay, keep it positive, sweetie. Yeah, keep it positive. How did they come about? It came about because I had a young lady.

I actually had posted a young woman's work who helped me organize my closet. And this woman got on, she was like, all this bragging and boasting, you need to go buy some land or a house. I said, I had time. Normally I ignore, block, delete.

Oh, we got time today.

My little fingers got the turt and I was like, I said, what you should look is I'm

supporting another woman's business and not looking at it from a negative standpoint.

I just put hashtag keep it positive, sweetie.

Oh, okay.

And it grew legs.

My fans were like, it just like literally went crazy.

De Nora, we were trying to come with a title for the podcast and she's like, every time I think of you, I just think of abundance. And in that moment, I was like, at the back of my head, I said, what if it's not always like this? Yeah, abundant. What if my life is, it was crazy. But I got chills thinking about it.

And um...
