In season three episode three we meet the Jones sisters, two of the few female pit masters in Kansas City, running a successful BBQ joint and too busy to care for themselves.
We see The Fab 5 work outside the box to help make it easier and simpler for the Jones sisters to take time for themselves while also accelerating their business. We witness what it looks like when someone sees so much good and beauty in you, that you start to believe them until you see your value.
“Because we’ve got to love ourselves in order to love other people.” – Jonathan
And the list goes on and on, with every episode impacting another life, another family, another community.
And the impact doesn’t end there.
We as viewers get to not only witness the inspirational messages that come to life in front of us, we get to receive those for ourselves if we are willing. Every time we see Karamo help someone break down their barriers, we get a little bit closer to being ok with breaking down our own. Every time we hear Jonathan acknowledge and encourage someone’s unique style, we get a little closer to being ok with not having to look like everyone else. And every time we hear The Fab 5 speak about loving ourselves now, just as we are, we get a little closer to believing that we can do that too.
In a world where we are bombarded with advertising and programming telling us that we are not enough, taking the time to watch a show that encourages us to not be afraid of ourselves and to choose love over judgement, is believing that we are worthy…and believing that others are worthy too.
