Good morning, and thank you for joining me for The Scoop with Tanya Flanagan. I'm so happy you decided to wake up and start your day with me here on The Scoop where we talk about life, joy, funny moments, trending topics, and so much more. We promise to keep you in the know and find out what you know. So let's get started. Good morning Las Vegas. Welcome to this morning to December 15th. Thank you for waking up to join me here on KUMV Public Radio.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:00:55
In the intro, I mentioned that on the show we talk about joy. So I am delighted to welcome to the studio with me this morning a woman who I believe embodies joy, has it resonating from her life and tries to cultivate it in other people. So good morning, Lynn Jussain. Good morning, and thank you for having me Tanya. Thank you for spending some time with me during this holiday season.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:01:20
We're going to be talking about a number of things today including an event that Ms. Jesaines has coming up at the end of the month that anyone out there listening, primarily women, but anyone out there listening is welcome to get a ticket for if you'd like and to participate. She is a dynamic individual who has had quite the life story, written a couple of books, works in Clark County in our Family Services Department, and just really helps families put their lives back together and gives children and young ladies, young women hope.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:01:53
So today, her journey and how it has transformed her life, I'm excited to talk about the second annual event associated with this life journey and welcome you back to the show as well. Thank you for being a return guest. I appreciate being able to come and share and pour life into other people and say some jewels that makes people's life better. Thank you for that. Especially during this holiday season it's important that we are so focused on giving back so I think it's a great time that you are here. So I mentioned that

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:02:23
you had a second annual event coming up. You were here last year about this time, maybe a little bit earlier in the year, to talk about the first time you were putting on your event. So I'm excited to welcome you back to talk about Women, Purpose, and Processing, Part 2, if you will, or Chapter 2. Yeah. Is this been a, I call it a blessing because when I first decided to do it I felt like it was something that God put on my

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:02:51
heart that I stepped boldly into and it has really been everything that God showed me that it would be. Hands down my first event was more than I thought it would be and I blessed a lot of women and even their testimonies that I've put on my social media I am Lynn Jussames on Facebook. The testimonies touched me when I heard them and I went and listened to them and when they sent them to me I was like, oh my god, Lord, like thank you for

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:03:20
For just putting it on my heart and then I was grateful to have the courage to put it out there So let's talk a little bit about your life journey So I think we need to put in context what women purpose and processing what has birthed that what that's all about So, you know, who are you I've mentioned a little bit about who you are, but who are you really?

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:03:38
What's your story?

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:03:39
I am Lynn Desains. I would say I'm from hard places. I did grow up in the projects. I come from an area of a town where I grew up with a lot of sex, drugs, and violence. That's what I was exposed to as a child. Eventually I ended up in foster care.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:03:53
My mom was a habitual drug addict, which landed me and my sisters into foster care. I had my first baby at 14. We entered foster care together. Basically, I was abandoned when I had my first son. So, aged out of foster care with three children, entered foster care with no credits in the ninth grade,

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:04:10
but I went on to graduate on time with my senior class and later earned a bachelor's and a master's degree. I've been with the county since 1996. My story involves, you know, sexual abuse, domestic violence, basically rape, and the list goes on. I'll just leave it right there.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:04:27
But in spite of that, I talk about beat the odds. That's exactly what me and my children have done. We have beat the odds. Every odd that was against us, that's not our story. So I definitely talk about beating the odds. And so women purpose and processing comes from a place where people be like, well, why

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:04:46
are you so sane? And why are you still so helpful? And why you still have the courage to help right? That's people's they ask me that I'd be like why and I'm grateful for my life in spite of all the stuff that have happened to me but I'm a processor so when I get with myself and I process life for myself it has helped me be sane you know crime is a

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:05:09
coping skill but I don't use drugs or alcohol don't abuse it I've never abused my body. Things like that that I know sometimes comes with when people have had a hard life and some of the things that they turn to. I've been fortunate enough that that's not my story and I'm grateful for that.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:05:26
That's what I love about you. Every time I talk with you, it's an opportunity to just peel back another layer of the onion and you're so transparent. Oh, thank you.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:05:35
And I think that your willingness to be vulnerable and to be transparent, share your story with people, to encourage them is just noble. It is to be commended because not many people will go through difficulties and hardships in life and then stand before other people, however you're before them, in a room, in a workshop, at a church conversation, in a women's group, on a radio program like we're

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:05:59
talking right now, and share. And part of those testimonies do so much to heal other people, like to respond to that call to action. That form of service is huge because after you do that, then you go out into your own world and your own life. And someone has heard this. So they're either going to you either are or not concerned that are they going to look at me differently or are they going to come up to me and say thank you so much for what you gave to me. You have no idea how you changed my life.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:06:33
And I would imagine even if you do get a little bit of both, you get the majority of the latter. But how do both of those two spaces feel? Because there are other people out there with these journey testimonies that because of their own fear of protecting themselves, they're not ready yet to share and there's so much healing that we can do for one another if we are willing to allow our stories, our testimonies to be used. Wow, that's so crazy that you bring that up because I'm

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:07:01
really in the middle of a transition because so I wrote my first book in 2005 and I also learned I learned that writing is one thing but still being open and transparent is another. So we can do one-on-one all day, but I also realize as much as I told there's so much more I didn't tell I was one of those people who don't like to didn't like to see people cry on social media But when I had a moment of sharing when I I used to have a lump in my breast and then the lump wasn't there No more

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:07:30
But I remember praying and saying like that lump gonna be gone one day, right and I end up crying on social media but did not since then and you have to be ready and I say this people have to understand it it's okay and it's probably the people that surround you that's making you feel like it's not okay because you can be your authentic self with people who say things to keep you shut down to keep you afraid of coming out because they've already did so much damage and so for me a lot of people think I'm younger than what I am, right?

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:08:02
And I'm 54 years old. The 54-year-old me looks at even a 30-year-old me, and I can honestly say as much as I've accomplished and did, I thought what people thought about me didn't matter, but it did. I thought that people didn't really influence

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:08:20
how I moved and what I did, but it did. I thought I had reached a place in my life where I was successful, but then to other people and the insight, and I'm private also, so people don't know everything about me.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:08:34
So let's be clear about that. But at the same time, you can dream big, but it's only gonna be as big as your vision that you have for yourself. So for me, where I come from,

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:08:45
my vision was big, and it was bigger than what was around me. But it's so much more, but you got to believe that. So even with all I've done, all I've accomplished, I just started to realize at 54 all the little intricate things that pick at you, but you don't think they're picking at on the outside. And for a person who's worked all the time, raising kids all the time, helping other people all the time,

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:09:11
I'm just not getting to a place where I'm getting to meet. And so now people will see a different Lynn that they've been getting and it's only because we process fear in my group last year. And even when you hear, so when we do the Women Purpose and Processing group, it's so funny because you do hear all the time people be like my women's event is different. You hear it all the time.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:09:33
But when I tell you the work that God put in me to do this Women Purpose and Process event, it's not like no other woman's event. And when I say it's truly interactive with everybody in the building, everybody participates. Everybody felt loved and accepted and welcomed and warmed and vulnerable and transparent, but felt safe doing it. Everybody in the room, I had some people with some big titles in the room, but no one came in a room with a title

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:10:04
We came in there as women. That's all and as women we built a bond We shared we process I had like seven topics. We only got to three because we got so real and got so deep and For me a person who when you say how you so sane is because I can get with myself though still when life was hard and the tough when it got tough tough tough and rough rough rough and it felt like I can't take no more I process my own self through it. I talked to myself through it. I said the ugly mean hard things that I wouldn't want nobody to say to me but not in a negative way where it took me down where

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:10:42
it made me stronger most of the time. So if I'm going through something I'm processing like the good the bad the ugly the real you know the truth, the negative. It has always put me in a place where I still got up every day. I got up the next day, no matter what. So to be able to process is huge. Therapy is one thing.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:11:03
I get it. People say, oh, when people process the therapist, it's different. It's funny that you mentioned that because my mind went to therapy. But before I go down the pathway where we talk about therapy, because I 100% understand what you're saying about, we've talked about what I call a prayer closet and some people refer to it as a prayer closet. And we're going to get into this but I'm going to go backwards for two seconds.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:11:25
But I'm going to explain a prayer closet and for me that's where you are in a space where you're alone and there are conversations that if we're honest and we're trying to be healthy. We need to have even with ourselves, where to me you're having it, you're no one else is there. You're like talking to yourself, you're really talking to God. You may be talking to your mother, your grandmother who's going on before you, who you know, who you feel was in heaven with God, right? But that's that place where you're having the conversation where

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:11:55
the thing that is scariest for you to process, you speak it so that you can put it out so that you can deal with it. Stick a pin in that. And the reason why is because we go into the bread closet conversation that is associated with therapy. You mentioned something a moment ago about your 54 year old self and your 30 year old self.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:12:18
And I wanted to touch on that relative to the event you have coming up because I feel like what you're saying is there's something in the room when you have this event coming up at the end of the month that's going to be on December 27th, the Friday. When you have this event that's coming up, the women purpose and processing, there's going to be something in that room for all ages because sometimes, and I say that because I too am in my 50s.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:12:44
So as life continues and you reach these different decades or you're writing these chapters. We are not who we were at 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 40, and 50. The chapter of 50 is a major to me has been and is a major turning point in life of self awareness. And I want to say, and I'll call it self accountability. versus who I was in my 30s or my 20s, it's completely different.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:13:15
So what I have to give to someone, whether she's 18, 20, 30, beginning a career, even relationship advice, work advice, community service advice, like my perspective on this is very different than what it was previously. And I feel like that's a little bit of what you hinted at when you mentioned the ages. I mean, do you agree? I'm and you know what I can look back over the years and really wholeheartedly.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:13:46
No, I still communicate and connect with women that were young girls when I first started mentoring them and talking to them and poured to them and when they call and be like, oh my God, I remember you told me to do this and at first I was scared, but I listened to you and look at where I'm at now where they have a young woman say, girl, when you was over there writing books, I wanted to be just like you when I grew up,

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:14:06
but you don't know those things, right? But even at 50, knowing all the work that I've done, I feel like now it's like I'm finna go to a whole nother level, I can feel it. And even our young girls. And I say that because I was touring a school two days ago,

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:14:23
and as I walked through this school, it's a magnet school, the little girls, little brown girls, were like, hi. And it made me realize their awareness level of seeing someone, because they knew we were an important group of people walking through their school looking at what they do and what they're learning, right? Right. So now here comes this group of important people walking through my school while

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:14:44
I'm looking at what I'm learning. But there's someone who looks like me. But see, here's the key to that when you're talking to young girls. Yes, so last year it was an invitation only event. I only invited probably no more than I think like around 35, 40 women. I ended up with 18 women in the room. I only wanted 15 because I knew the intimacy was important.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:15:06
I wanted to open up this year because I didn't want to limit who was able to gain the knowledge that's in that room. And it was a lot of older women. I did it on purpose because I needed to see. I mean, I felt like God gave it to me. So I had to see how he was going to move it. That's just how I feel like everything he's given me, I would write down everything that dropped in my spirit about the event. This event is planned out to 2027. I know

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:15:30
the themes every year. I know what they're going to look like every year. I know the building I'm supposed to look like for every year. It's laid out and is only because I would write it down when I felt like it came on me, right? So it even and even with I would like to say to young women who see that what happens is We've been taught certain things in certain ways to view life about ourself as opposed to and also other people So for me with all that I've accomplished in the done it was still something

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:15:57
It was you could say like a seed of fear that sat there. It was also fear sat there, self-doubt sat there, lack of confidence sat there. So you could see, oh, Lain accomplished all these things, but those seeds were still sitting there because I was so busy getting everything else,

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:16:20
I didn't get to those seeds. So they were still able to get a little water because I didn't get them out quick enough. You see them saying, but I think they still serve the purpose and I think that was the way I didn't understand what false humility was because I walk in a space where I don't want ego to take over. I never wanted my ego to take over. I never

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:16:41
wanted to be proudful but I've always stayed in a space so what that also does is it still keep you you can't step out when you hear things like you and your family always doing something y'all writing books y'all trying to sell stuffing ain't you doing enough you don't need a master's degree for your job you think those things don't bother you but then if you don't surround yourself with people that help push you past those things that I say to myself

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:17:08
I'm a giver so and when you learn that you give so much and it's rarely reciprocated, especially at the same level, but also it becomes an expectation of who you are to people instead of people just appreciating who you are. Girl, I'm over here in my own little world. I do my own thing, you know, and I say to myself, but it also taught me. But there's such a balance in how you're living. So on the one hand, I understand the insulation, right, for right for protective purposes, if you will.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:17:41
At the same time, there's this huge extroverted life that you're living to support and give to other people that you're coming in contact with. So I understand how you are protecting your peace, protecting your blueprint for life and where you're going. Cause there comes a point where you don't always know

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:18:02
if everyone means you well, right? And we still have to touch on therapy and we may have to come back and touch on therapy because I feel like we're going to have a two-part conversation. I always love a good two-part conversation when it can be had. So if you're listening this Sunday and you hear you feel like Lynn and I don't get through it today,

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:18:17
and I think we're not we may, you know, hang out again next week and have to get through it because when you have somebody else you can just peel back the layers of the onion. I want to have these powerful conversations with people who are talking about not in a space where what I'm saying is I'm just the expert, but a vulnerability and a willingness to share what's happened in your life that hopefully helps someone else who's listening, especially this time of year when people are going through bouts

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:18:42
of depression and sadness because they're not with their loved ones or whatever the case may be. I mean, I just talked about that. I talked about this is a season where people I had somebody at work and she was like girl I don't care. I ain't doing this and I ain't doing that and I said well I care and the holidays is a really Hard time for a lot of people because people's life look different My life during the holidays looks different right now. So I was like why I care and I'm bothered and I'm hurt

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:19:07
I'm not gonna pretend like I'm not bringing negative people negative energy to people because how I know right now my family dynamics are not the same how they used to be around the Christmas so I'm not finna sit up here and pretend like I'm cool and she stopped and she said you right I'm probably talking like that cuz I'm not cool exactly this is the key though you don't have to be cool and the important piece I wanted to get back to young women any women we have see I have always been a strength to other women.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:19:40
I've always been a light to other women. I've always been able to pull other women up. But guess what was missing for me? Someone to pull you up. So again, so my point to other, you come into this women purpose and process, like I've been connected to these women since the event.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:19:56
Women that we know, I know, women we ran in the same circles, we seen at the same events. We're kind of connected now since the event and it showed me that growing up, I never thought, I never understood like sometimes you have to leave people behind. It didn't make sense to me. I never understood that, you know, people take the energy, you don't even realize it. I get it now because now that I've removed myself for certain things, certain people in certain

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:20:21
situations, I can see clearly like... Do you remember the moment though when you started to process this isn't a good relationship space? Did you feel a sense of guilt like were you responsible for them? Were you abandoning someone who needed you you recognized? No, I'm gonna tell you why because Usually those people have taken so much and taken so much and when you realize You can't keep giving to that it had me. Okay So this is the biggest piece people got to understand about processing when you do it for yourself

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:20:53
So you I've been able to process, but I process with myself with accountability and think about what I'm saying So if you don't sit down and do the work because that's what I do I do the work an example is if I'm if I left a relationship And I'm the one who's usually like I'm cool. I'm gonna cut this off, and then I leave a relationship in three months later I'm still can't sleep at night that's a problem but it ain't a problem for nobody but me so I got to get with myself and say what is your

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:21:20
problem like what's going on with you because you control your happiness so that's the principle right and not only that but the hard work the processing came in me saying what you really upset about or is this about them or is it about you so the first step was it ain't about them it's about you this is something that's going on with you because three months later that I had nothing to do with them you need to get with you and in a minute I said

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:21:43
well what's your problem I'm like what are you mad about and then it was rejection how am I feeling rejected but you want to do the disconnect you say that so you think you hadn't really processed because I had I had a show and unless you've been following me you may remember one of my initial early conversations, I invited Pastor Donna McCoy of Abundant Heart Community Church on and the conversation was about managing rejection. I don't remember if you recall, we even had a conversation, what a year or two years ago now, about the very impact rejection, regardless of the space in which you have left behind, you feel rejection was tied to that space and how it can

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:22:29
hold you hostage.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:22:30
But let me say this. So when I started back interacting, when things would happen, I would stop and say, is this about them? Or is this about you? Are they doing something to you or you feeling some type of way because of what's going on with you? Because the lens is different. And that's why I say when you,

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:22:46
people don't like the process because it do come with accountability. So if you're going to process and get real with yourself, let me give you a quick example. People don't understand why when people have an abortion they feel in some type of way but they never told anybody. Why am I feeling shame but nobody knows I did this? Because you got to get with yourself. You facing yourself and then for a lot of us who spiritual now you got to get with yourself. God knows. And I've seen women go down some tough paths since I started talking about in abortion and the impacts of it and what it does to women. The

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:23:22
accountability part in rejection is a lot of people have a hard time because when I started dealing with mine, we know what came up. Oh, when I was little, how everybody favored my sister now and I was a middle child and didn't nobody want to take me nowhere. And me and telling me ain't nobody going to want you. You got three kids like all that stuff. It sits that's been seized. I'm talking about mm-hmm that I'm so busy processing and helping Everybody else navigate. I didn't work on myself And now I have to and I think what's really important and what you just said is a lot of times

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:23:51
We think that we're dealing with the immediate trauma, but you're not dealing with the immediate trauma when you are self-processing You're rarely dealing with the immediate trauma. The immediate trauma is the trigger for the trauma you haven't processed. It's in your past that you haven't dealt with. I see you and I be on like these pages. It's just always so good. That is just for talking to you is like the nail on the head.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:24:18
We're like a kindred spirit. And what's so interesting about talking with you is we can get busy with our lives and not talk for weeks or even months because life just takes over. But every time I sit and talk with you, it's like a revelation conversation and it is an immediate. No, I get what you're saying. The energy and the vibes. But yeah, but you take me back to you, you helping all these people around you and you and they benefit from you.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:24:46
And you don't even realize how it's not a mutual relationship. It's still one sided, but you refuse to see the accountability part. You refuse to process it from a real space. And that goes back to any women. Who you hanging around and what they're pointing to you, it's going to kill you if you're not getting that back or it's going to delay you.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:25:07
This is me now, the version of me you're getting right now, I want to fast track you, so all the stuff that I miss in my 30s and my 40s when I get to my 50. I don't want you to have to go through all that stuff if you're willing to listen if you want to be transparent if you're willing to take accountability. I can honestly say my choices got me where I am today wholeheartedly and am I totally where I want to be absolutely but will I change who I am as a woman absolutely not because

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:25:33
everything about yesterday made me who I am today and I'm going to be an even greater person tomorrow. That's a great space of self-appreciation and self-awareness. It was hard to get here. It's not an easy journey. If you all think this conversation is good, imagine the conversation you will have if you participate in Women, Purpose, and Processing coming up on December 27th, led by my guest

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:25:56
this morning, Lynn Desaims. Lynn, where can people get information on this conversation, this event that's going to take place? Because I want to make sure we give it to them when you're not rushing to give it to them. So if you go to Eventbrite, it's 2020 for Women, Purpose and Processing. That's what it's under.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:26:14
But all the information is also on Facebook and Instagram and LinkedIn. If you go to my page, I am Lynn Jassames and Lynn is spelled L-Y-N-N-E-J-A-S-A-M-E-S, Lynn Jussames. It's on all my platforms. I have testimonials if you want to go listen to the testimonials of the women who attended last year. I give a lot of insight into really into what you're going to get. It's really my sister's keeper in that environment.

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:26:42
You do fully participate if you don't feel like you're ready to be. I'm not asking you to tell your business. That's not what this is not about. I'm going to come tell my business. That's not this perspective. The perspective is when I present you with the information and you want to take the time a lot of the women say Lynn I went

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:27:00
home and did the stuff that you didn't that you had on it and we didn't get to me because you showed me with a bunch of other women how to process these topics they went home and did it themselves and saw changes. They did the work they do what you know you have to be feel valuable enough to yourself It's sometimes to do the work. I remember Pastor giving me a book to read something about a press charming book And it was this it's basically exercise where you write down the qualities you're looking for in a person

Tanya Flanagan/Lynne Jasames
0:27:28
But there's this read right in the reading takes about six months to walk through it and it's not a well-written read But that's not the point That's another point. But to that point, there are processes that we take to get to better places. And this is an opportunity to participate

in an event that will take you through processes. But you are gonna have to come back to continue because we never did unpack the therapy piece and we are. Winding down on this beautiful Sunday morning in December. It's cool, it's crisp, we're getting ready for the holidays. And it's cute outside, it's the lights.

It's the holidays. It's just a beautiful time of year. You know, it's joyous. I love it because people pause on, I think, some of their frustrations and it's a moment to just get all warm and fuzzy. Make a delicious cup of hot chocolate, whether you're making it in the morning or at night. And just let the tree blink at you if you have one, or let some lights blink at you from wherever you can see lights and just You know, it's funny being cold. I feel like I'm cold in my bones

But you know what I when I was getting on my truck to come in here I kind of stopped so that I heard something but in the moment of standing there It was like a breeze it as much as I hate to be cold. I felt a sense of peace And I hate being cold. It's just so crisp and it's clean and it's I don't know something about this time of year That is always yeah for those that we miss and we love, but then for those that we have around us and we get to enjoy and make new memories.
