    Everytime i listen or watch a rupaul interview or podcasts, i get goosebumps. this speech has helped me already, RU talking about how to love yourself is just what I needed to hear. i wanted to go to dragcon so bad but I live in Oklahoma and have no money. I'm going to try and save up and go take the grayhound to NYC dragcon.

    Oh wow... I mean, I am sitting in my apartment in Finland, at one a clock in the morning listening MamaRu talk. She talked straight to my heart. I have been thinking about these things lately, but somehow Ru finally made me understand the consept of me being my own saboteur. For me Ru is the embodiment of wisdom and every time he talks, i feel loved. Even tho he doesn't know me. I truly can now say that RuPaul is my greatest mentor, idol and guide. Hes wisdoms have gotten me further I ever tought I could get. It brings tears of joy in my eyes, when I say: I love you MamaRu, Thank you for saving me!❤

      Its 2:42 am here where i am. I got to this because today's elimination on drag race left me feeling lost and ugly. If I did not find this......if i did not know who Ru Paul is I almost fear it with a religious ferver, and it is mainly for his podcast with michelle these days, and NOW THIS!

      I'm in los angeles thinking the same thing. I was kinda in shock hearing this because it's been my current journey that i've been so internally stuck inside. I felt such release from the mamaru ted talk just now, it really opened up all spiritual blockage. [LOVE]

      See how the Universe works?! Beautiful talk by MammaRu!

    Ru said playing small and it reminds me of a poem I try to tell myself everyday.
    "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. " - coach carter

    I could honestly listen to Ru talk forever. He is so wise, funny, and down to earth. Listening to him speak about his past, his experiences/hardships, makes me feel a lot better. He gives me so much hope. He is right, everyone is holding onto some experience in their lives and are victimizing themselves and are allowing other people to victimize them. I don't victimize myself, but I do allow my negative past and present experiences to hold me back. I am religious and I do pray everyday to God because I believe in God and praying to God helps to relieve me of any stress or anxiety that I'm feeling at the moment. Mama Ru, you don't know me and I don't know you personally but I know that you're an incredible human being. I really want you to know that you've helped me in ways that no one ever has before. So thank you so much for helping me and guiding me, and for giving me hope. I love you Ru, and may God bless you always❤️🙏🏼

    I'm sure this will be edited!
    I like Ru talking straight forward about Sooo many different therapies and 'religious' concepts and squishing them into such a short space of time. Our lives are our journeys and I'm loving his bite size gems of info. People, especially young people, have very short attention spans but it is vital that they start researching this info. This 'self help' info....it may sound cheesy, but it's the best place to start if one wants to discover and learn that there is more to this existence than the surface bs most see and discard. We are ONE.

    Great Talk Ru, I've had the good fortune of being a sober woman (natural + straight) for 30 years and what you said rings so true! Getting up and stretching my physical and spiritual muscles and turning my will over to a power greater than myself is the single best thing I do for me every day. When I attach my consciousness I ask for guidance of how I may be of service to the rest of his/her children and other fantastic creations we've been entrusted with. I got sober at the age of 27 (1986) and my children always had a sober mom, but I didn't, my parents divorced also and like you, there were many incidents of disappointments and "bad code" written in my machine. One of my greatest break through's was understanding that my parents were ill equipped and their actions and subsequent blows to my psyche were a result of collateral damage and had nothing to do with me. The other thing that released me from that bondage of resentment was forgiveness.
    Thank you for the color and love and laughter I enjoy your quick mind and artistic spirit. Now keep doing you, RU, bringer of enlightenment to the children.
    Your companion on the journey, Jo

    One of the greatest healers of our generation! So grateful for Ru, Prophets come in different shapes & form, born naked and the rest is drag! 💜
