I'm in a season and have been in one for a while now where I am expanding mentally, physically and emotionally. For the second half of 2023, I grew my 3rd little life within my belly and he was born on February 27th. During this season I had a lot of time to reflect and let go of a lot of expectations I placed on myself. I started to allow myself to go with the flow of the slowdown season my 3rd pregnancy put me in.

Y'all I recorded this about a week ago as I realized we were getting closer and closer to June. The halfway point of the year, of 2023 already. My usual mindset for being halfway through the year was let's get it, we made it through 6 months and accomplished so much. Let's crush the rest of this year.

 

I don't know if it's because I'm really embracing my 30s or embracing the wisdom that comes with age. ...

I believe in myself, my talents, and my abilities. I walk in His purpose for me.

The seasons won't always be hard, but they will always be worth it. Because fully embracing your purpose means He is always walking with you.

My mission for this podcast and community is to create safe spaces. Safe spaces for us to learn, grow and thrive together. To be real y'all money scares me! Out of all the areas of adulting, finances is ones of those areas that I feel the most uninformed in. This year, I've made it a goal to conquer my fear and learn as much as I can so that my girls won't start from zero when their turn comes around.

In our lives, failure is inevitable. There are going to be times when it may seem like so big of a failure that it stops you in your tracks. And to be honest, sometimes we do need to pause. But what about those situations when we can choose to fail forward?

Choose to accept the failure for what it is and feel our feelings, but not be weighed down by it so much that we talk ourselves out of moving forward. Failure does not equate to ...

I grow more patient and understanding of others by forgiving myself. Forgiveness of self is easier said than done though, right?

I deserve to speak kindly to myself.

It's a new month and for me that means reflecting on last month. Not only celebrating my wins, but also for reflection on things I want to improve this month. It can be really easy to slip into a pattern of beating ourselves up when we reflect on ways we want to improve.

This week and all month, I encourage you to speak kindly to yourself even when things don't go as ...

Been feeling overwhelmed by the amount of tasks on your to-do list? Does even thinking about creating a list make you feel anxious?

I get it! Because me too! Life can sometimes be a lot. Reaching for big dreams on top of day to day life can be daunting if you're not prioritizing the steps you need to take to get things done. I've had my fair share of discouragement and putting too much on my plate. In today's episode,...

I am worthy right now, just as I am.

Sometimes I look in the mirror and doubt if I am worthy of all the good things in my life. That seems silly right? But if you're like me, you know that it can be a difficult mindset to grow from. It can be difficult to not want to work 110% times harder to prove my worth. It can be hard to accept that worthiness is not something I have to prove… it just is. I am.
