  • Let's Celebrate the Half Way Point

    Let's Celebrate the Half Way Point
    Jul 21 2024

    Do you see what I see? I see someone who has made it to the halfway point of the year. Someone still going strong. Someone unshakable.


    Honestly, it’s just good to see you’re putting one foot in front of the other. With that being said, let’s celebrate. Why? Because a whole lot of people have already given up on themselves and their dreams. They’ve settled for "good enough," and sadly, some settle for less than that. The world is oversaturated with these types of people, which makes it even harder for people like us, but we don’t let that Debbie Downer, misery-loves-company bullshit stop us. Nah, not us. We’re still striving for our imagination. We still believe and trust it’s going to work out, someway somehow.

  • I Will Persist: A Letter of Love to May

    I Will Persist: A Letter of Love to May
    May 22 2024
    As much as I want to provide you with new tools to add to your emotional literacy toolkit, my heart is telling me that this message of encouragement should be an offering of encouragement for those still going: So this letter goes out to everyone who is sick and tired of being sick or tired of something that seems unchangeable. This letter serves as a pat on the back for those who don’t feel like their efforts aren’t seen or feel like their work is in vain. This message serves as a listening ear for those who feel unheard or misunderstood by those you expect to understand you most. This is a love letter to those who feel unworthy, dismissed, and ignored. This message is a war cry for those who are constantly praised for never looking tired, but secretly want a moment to be still and feel peace. Lastly, this reminder is to the person who feels like they have to constantly go back to the drawing board because they feel like their plan never works out. Please don’t give in just yet. Your dreams are not dead just because you still haven’t seen them. You’re only in month five of twelve and What a shame it would be to give up on yourself so early. You didn’t spend nights crying liquid prayers to give up so soon on your hope. Background music by Pistachio.

  • Shift Into Greater in March

    Shift Into Greater in March
    Apr 23 2024
    If you’re reading this and anxiety is winning. I invite you to take a moment to breathe. The power of a breath can be so transformative, aside from the added benefit of resetting your nervous system through your vagal nerves. Breathing is an indicator that it’s not over yet. Taking a breath signifies that you are conscious, which is a fancy way to say alive. And if you’re alive that means that whatever you thought was going to take you out, didn’t. Whatever bad report you’ve gotten isn’t the final say. It means that the rejection isn’t the end all be all. Why? Because having breath in our lungs tells us that things can and will change!

  • Springing Forward With Contentment in April

    Springing Forward With Contentment in April
    Apr 22 2024
    Contentment is a powerful characteristic we need to navigate our highs and lows Being content, by definition, means to be satisfied or in peaceful state. For me, being content is more like a responsibility to remain locked in to the vision I had at the start of 2024, regardless of my setbacks and shortcomings.
