BE INTENTIONAL
Every..damn. Day.
BE INTENTIONAL.📿How can we do this daily & feel the results?
📿When you want to high five someone in the fucking mouth but you choose to come from light and love—-it is intentional.
📿When you’re about to enter a conversation/meeting & you stop, breathe, & choose to show up as your authentic self and not a fake voice/smile— that is intentional.
📿When you don’t wanna work out and you have 50 reasons, but you put on your shoes and do it anyway —intentionally.
📿When you’re about to repeat yourself for the 50th time and hear your voice getting louder to your kids, your spouse, whoever and you stop to take a breath & choose patience--that is intentional.
📿When the inner self chatter starts about ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda’ & you feel worry or less than. You pause, you take a deep breath, and you change the narrative and speak life & favor & empowerment over yourself. THAT IS AN INTENTIONAL ACT.
📿when unfair, shitty life & worldly stuff happens & tears your soul open.
We can say I’m fine. I’m fine. It is FINE.
Or We can choose intention—intentionally cry, vent, express, lean on your faith, & feel what you feel.
📿All day. every day.
Every moment.
Be intentional.
With your words.
Your time. Your energy. Your choices. Your being.
That is how true authenticity is birthed!
📿HOW WILL YOU BE INTENTIONAL TODAY? Let me know!
I WILL put Bad Bunny music on, hard core dance to feel release & free, talk to God & affirm & remember who I REALLY AM—-WITH deep INTENTION!😊👊🏽

3 tools to increase your confidence +mindset

Start exploring + questioning all the habits + mindsets & ways about YOURSELF!!

💎Albert Einstein said, "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."

💎This is the key to daily life.
You are a spiritual being living in a human being world.
Get in that alignment mentally + soul-fully.💯
It’s a 24-7 vibe to put yourself in. And work.
But it will save you a lot of unnecessary stress!!! 💯

💎constantly be aware and use TOOLS & PRACTICE to always come back to your spirit and your energy + your soul +
Y O U R T R U T H.
What that looks like
feels like
smells like
tastes like and is profoundly aligned and true specifically for you!!!!!

and not the outside stuff around you all day——that makes your Brain create FALSE narratives and go on hamster wheels of shit that stresses worries or defeats you.....

you will feel peace and alignment and
joy and
living in that presence
Of YES AND EMPOWERMENT AND JOY AND PURPOSE!

💎We are all born with awareness but then we accumulate knowledge!!!!

Soooooo knowledge is not truth, it’s information and programming and dreaming and living and educating the way that society wants us to!!!

Good intentioned parents and school and jobs and friends and surroundings and environments putting their STUFF onto you.

So then we start practice not being aware + denying what we feel and perceive and deeply profoundly intuitively KNOW!! WE BECOME CONDITIONED.

💎It’s like when you’re a young teen!! Think 12, 13 years old!
You really don’t know and can’t SEE yourself.
The people places and things around you project onto you the ***image, vibes, ideas, person they believe that they see about you!!!! ***{Remember this parents as we are leading/raising kids}

TAKEAWAYS:
👑1-So when you start going through your mindset and beliefs—--
Investigate that shit like a detective!

Body
food
family
marriage
parenting
religion
Spiritual
Holidays
Confidence
death
nature
money
relationships
Work
Success
words you believe like good, bad, skinny, fat, whatever
etc.!!!

👑2-change your words.

If someone complements you or says something kind—-don’t just day the typical THANK YOU.

Say instead: I RECEIVE THAT.
This is like REALLY taking it, receiving it, feeling it, Absorbing it, and letting it drip, drop & flow into you more + continuously + keep on bringing IT!!! Huge shift.

👑3- become aware of HOW YOU ROLL & SHOW UP IN WORLD.

releasing, rewording, rewriting, and exploring YOUR:
STORIES
IDEAS
TRUTHS
BELIEFS
ATTITUDES
ENERGY
PERCEPTIONS
AND BEINGGGGGGG💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Is it serving your highest good or keeping you stuck?

Investigate it...so you truly+ boldly +confidently know who the fuck you are + activate that HOLINESS THAT IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT!!

👑4- LOVE.
You Gotta be courageous and brave to LOVE YOURSELF, bigggg time.
And what that looks like + real deal holy feel, FEELS like + DOING that—-
might hard core disappoint others & their ideas & the actual people places and things around you.
Be courageous and brave, anyway.
👏🏽👏🏽❤️💯💯👑👑❤️

Busta rhymes wisdom

“If you didn’t have challenges you wouldn’t even have a journey or a story to tell. You won’t learn the value of the struggle or the rewards of the success when they come. I was definitely taught that failure is not an option and I attribute that to my mother and father. We all go through bullshit but at the end of the day we also know that it could be a lot worse so don’t run around and complain. Don’t bitch. Resolve it because you have no choice. Especially if people are relying on you because you’re the source of everyone’s well-being.”
“I don’t like to be around anything that condones or causes bullshit.”
-busta rhymes

“Smells like my vagina” candle

Picture
✨That is a real candle!
Gwtenth Paltrow.

Brilliant.
She’s knows, she is over the top and caters to the highly elite.
She knows she’s controversial from stuff she says to stuff she sells like vampire repellent body spray,handcuff bangles, vaginal steamers & more.

This candle “smells like my vagina” sold out ASAP at $75/ Candle.
Sold the F out.
Seventy-five DOLLARS!!!
Brilliant marketing!!!!

She knows who she is, WHETHER YOU LIKE HER OR NOT, And commits!!
This is a key life lesson!!

Think outside the box. Think outside the box. Think outside the box. Think outside the box. Think outside the box.

✨Great song for workout, dancing or motivation.
Kendrick Lamar “humble.”
Beats are 🔥!! I can’t stop listening!!

Favorite lyric:

“I'm so fuckin' sick and tired of the Photoshop
Show me somethin' natural like afro on Richard Pryor
Show me somethin' natural like a$$ with some stretch marks!”

Self love & ACCEPTANCE.
Celebrate what makes you -YOU!
COMMIT!
Instead of fixing yourself—-embrace yourself LOUDLY!!!
It blesses EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE!

Think outside the box. Think outside the box. Think outside the box. Think outside the box. Think outside the box.

✨You can be vanilla. It’s an amazing safe successful fabulous well loved flavor!!

Extraordinary.

FABULOSITY!

Think outside the box. Think outside the box. Think outside the box.

All is possible.

Life lesson from Dababy + healthy food tip



FOOD
1- Buy something to replace what you usually eat.
Buy a dairy free/wheat free/sugar free version.
Try it.
Like it??
Hit spot??
Awesome!!!


2-Read the ingredient list and see if you can make it yourself!!!


3-Do you eat cream cheese every day?
love adding sour cream to most of your meals? especially taco night?


Are you a dip person? Crackers?


Love icecream ? Coffee creamer?


1-try new product (it’s always worth the money)
because people spend that eating out on a Friday night or going to the doctor when they get sick or getting their nails done or vacation/trip or a coffee out or whatever “your personal thing is”
This is your health + wellness!!



2-If the product is amazing and hits the spot -oh my god -that’s wonderful!!! Hurray!!!
Can start replacing!!!!
Use the product ( try brands like GOOD KARMA, kite hill, + Mary be gone, + good foods)


If you don’t have a local store:
Try Vitacost, boxed, or thrive Market
There’s always a coupon code, too.


3-THEN—-read The ingredient list and try to make it yourself!!!
•More affordable
•creates a new habit because you’re actually taking action + doing it
•Hurray for change & yummyness + HEALTH!!

The real deal truth

Always! It’s supernatural law!


Don’t sweat the small stuff that rocks your brain in the middle of the day!


“Sucka ass situations aren’t worthy of your time”


AMEN!
Anything that steals your joy and peace and causes unnecessary stress and is not worth it.

Ask yourself empowering questions

•What would a loving + kind supportive parent do?


•What would a high-level executive Do?


•What would a committed Athlete do?

See?
if you want and empowered elevated extraordinary energy and direction and to infuse the person that you are—-ask empowered questions so you get an empowered answer!




Example:
You Don’t feel like working out and you’re choosing to be a health-conscious + energized person.


Ask:
What would an elite athlete do?


Answer:
They would be bigger than their excuses and get the workout done!! They would Cook from scratch and they would tell themselves how strong and badass they are !!!
And go extra & push harder ( I use this daily).

my real #1 stress tip is:
LOVE FIERCELY, because this all ends.

🧡When you are finished on earth
and this is all said and done —-the stuff you want people to speak about you
and say about you
And SPREAD & CARRY ON ABOUT YOU
and share and inspire & tell & CARRY ON TO other people & the world about you....

🧡Is that you were LOVING.

🧡They remember your smile
the way you made them feel EVERY. DAMN. TIME.
the way your eyes and face lit up & made them feel love.
The way you spoke and treated and helped and inspired and supported and encouraged and loved loved loved EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
In every area of your life!

🧡In your walk
in your words
How you hugged
And kissed
And talked
And LISTENED & CARED
and your love language and
your presence and your being
And in the way that you showed up in the world!

🧡As an aunt and an uncle
and a husband and a wife
and a friend
and parent
And grandparent and
Brother and sister
And AS A STRANGER...the kind of impact as a person you were & are!

🧡You always chose LOVE. 🧡

It is not how hard you worked
it’s not how much money you made
it’s not the climbing of the ladder and titles you had
it’s not how many fucking cars golf carts and boats & vacations you took & had
it’s not the school that you went to
Or how much you recycled or the hours you clocked.
It wasn’t the scale and the size of your pants
and how fucking cool you made sure everyone knew you were
Or even any of your triumphs or successes...

It’s not any of the superficial DAILY STRESSFUL ILLUSIONS
we get caught up in—-every single day.
All of us.
There are webs of them!!

that is what stresses us.

One little stress to next stress to massive created stress, & every single person participates every single day.

You can minimize it
you can cut back on it
You can release it
and you can choose differently!

🧡LOVE.
Be profoundly deeply passionately LOVING!
Be motivated and empowered to love more and love yourself more
And Choose love & SHOW UP + radiate love!

🧡 because this all ends.
Love is the one thing that is triple Fold & that is a trailblazer and ignites and continues ON FIRE!🧡

Be that.
When you can wrap your heart and mind around this —everything changes!

Peace!! That’s my truth!! 👏🏽💋💯

Practice creates bad-ass confidence

🔥LESSON:
-Practice creates confidence.-
Yes, like j-lo, Rihanna type bad-ass confidence!!!
Jay Z is a great example.
He did a huge ass deal with the NFL.
first ever, for an artist!
HUGE.
He is a hustler and a business person FIRST.
Will he advocate? Black lives matter? Support taking a knee? Affect the culture of how it’s all white men owners? Bring change + new perspective?
Yes 1000%.
Will he Put his artists as performers at halftime, and get royalties? Yesssss.
But his first value is business/profit.
The rest of his purpose will branch from that.
Day in & out he practices business moves FIRST.
It’s familiar & consistent and makes him confident. Everything else can branch from that.
🔥YOU:
If you work out every day
if you are always in business meetings + having to speak in front of people
if you teach kids every day
if you’re a stay at home parent who is not around adults and you’re always in mommy mode & kid language
If you spend tons of time with your kids and are in tune with their soul
If you wear make up every single day
Whatever your job is, you do it day in and day out
If you cook + bake daily
If you create you tube videos or
🔥Whatever, DOING “IT” is,
you do it day in and day out.
🔥you get comfortable with it and it creates practice and consistency which then creates confidence!!
TAKEAWAY:
1-The deal is, DO NOT COMPARE one of your phases/seasons with some one else’s!
Let’s say a CEO mom and a stay at home mom.... that conversation can have a different energy to it because of what they’re saying/doing/practicing all day.
I have done both.
As stay a home mom, i have had conversations where my brain is mush and I can’t form sentences and I think to myself- I usually can bust out business law and eloquent words on the back of my hand & SLAY, where Is that?? Where did I go?? I feel cray-cray! {it is normal of course!}
As a business owner & working 24-7... it has gotten to points where I’m saying & doing work lingo & actions day in & out, that I repeat it in my sleep!
ANOTHER EXAMPLE:
Someone who dances every day for fun and someone that never does it. Put them both on the spot and one’s going to be super confident + one’s going to feel like a deer out of headlights.
🔥~Practice creates confidence!!!~
The repetition of it—leads to momentum—-leads to confidence!
🖤So let’s get deeper:
-I’m sure there’s a lot of things you do day in and day out and you’re pretty secure in it!!!!-
•Can you openly and honestly and confidently talk about your TRUE feelings and TRUTH OF your relationships with your family and your spouse/partner and your friends and your kids and with yourself?
•Can you express and talk about your superpowers and yourself self love?
•What is your body talk like? Body image voice?
•Can you talk openly about your healing or wounds or hardships or frustrations? {so many hide this stuff}
•Can you share confidently and securely —your story and journey?
🔑DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU F&CKING CRAVE/NEED/WANT....and need to get on it, and start doing it & PRACTICING IT!?🔑
🔥TODAY
1-explore what you super-duper crave THAT gives you excitement + insane joy & feel like you are LIVING YOUR MOST TRUE & authentic + out loud LIFE—--
name 3 RIGHT NOW? G O
2-start PRACTICING IT! to gain MORE confidence & momentum, so your growth & life is always next level & better!
3-different seasons/phases have different experiences and you get to choose what you’re putting your energy + practice into! It can change!
💋It might be a handstand!
💋It might want to change an old conditioned/limited belief that doesn’t serve your highest good!
💋it might be cooking versus eating out.
💋it might be learning positive self & body talk.
WHATEVER.
4- when you worry about keeping up with people, doing what everyone does in the same way, or care what others think of you and your choices/life--you are allowing People, places and things to live RENT FREE IN YOUR head.
Stop. That. Shit.
YOU ARE THE BOSS OF YOU!
You don’t need permission to take life + jump IN & practice whatever it is you want more of in your life!
🖤Mondays are magical because YOU choose your attitude + energy and thoughts + actions and they set the tone for your week!!!
What will you choose today?


Music superstar Lizzo + surfing inspiration!

Inspiration🎉🎉🎉🎉
1-ACTIVE FAITH: Put self out there
2- PRACTICE creates confidence
3-TIMING: it matters
🌿She has a hit #1, music single out + she is in a blockbuster movie, called Hustlers, and she’s everywhere!
Her song dethroned “old town road” and Billie Eilish’s “bad guy.”
LIZZO. She’s talented, confident, outspoken & entertaining!
She dropped the exact same single two years ago and it didn’t do Shit!
She almost quit music. Because it had been a long ass time, busting her ass and pursuing this career!
And the music industry is a metric-based, you’re pretty good but not good enough & a cutthroat industry that you really have to be brave, resilient, persistent and know your worth!
She was driven, resilient, and bad ass! She believed in herself and kept planning the seeds and putting herself out there.
Timing is everything, because right now all of these new women rap artists like Megan the stallion & cardi b + LIZZO ARE HOT + are doing their thing & adored by fans & on fire!
Active faith, confidence, and timing! Boom!
🌿Surfing is like life.
You go out into the ocean and there might be sharks in the water
And it might be cold
and there’s a lot of factors -but you put yourself out there.
Then you have to have patience and just sit there and sit there and sit there and wait for the wave.
Then the wave comes and it’s glorious and beautiful and it’s the exact right timing and you ride it!
Then if you want to do it again.. you go right back out there and it’s a patience & a waiting game all over again.
But this time from experience- you know that another wave is coming!!!! Thank GOD!!! Because sheesh!!!
It is Like life.
There’s phases where you have to have patience.
Believe. Even when everything around you is telling you otherwise.
keep putting yourself out there, even when it’s rough.
Because another wave WILL COME + When it comes & you ride it—-there’s a beautiful timing that happens and that’s the phase of life that’s easy and effortless and YOUR TIME!
And then like anything in life that will change {ugh!! Why!!? Haaaa) freaking phases & seasons of life can be hard—-because human beings are hardwired for wanting security and consistency and comfort!!
and you’ll have to practice patience again & maybe in tough conditions, but now you know from wisdom & experience—YOU trust that another beautiful wave will come.
And you believe in yourself MORE!
🌿takeaway:
Whether it’s your fitness journey
or your romantic journey
or your parenting journey
or your career and purpose journey
or your personal development journey.
Every 50 million possible journeys that we all experience in this lifetime!!!!!!
1- Practice creates confidence.
Plant little seeds and do repetition.
You can’t reap, in the same season that you’re sowing!
All those little micro movements add up to confidence and preparation and they matter!!
Not one drop of your being, actions, and existence is EVER WASTED!
2-keep showing up.
Activate your faith.
keep putting yourself out- there even when it’s uncomfortable.
Keep your eye on the vision and not the circumstances. It will pull you through!!
3- Know that there is an alignment and a supernatural divine TIMING to everything. Including your life!
Nothing is too early and nothing is too late and everything is on time.
❤️love you. Be the light feel the light see the light activate your light spread the light 💡 choose light + Carry yourself as the light + blessing you are QUEENS & KINGS!
& forward this to someone that needs encouragement with whatever is going on in their life!❤️

Motivation for your fitness food & soul!


Love to motivate your week!

🍎Blessed are those who have faith and cannot see CAN ALSO mean:
empowered are those who remember who they are even when circumstances would tempt them to believe otherwise!

🍎When someone makes you feel "less than" instead of cussing them out or letting them have it :) say instead
" this person is in a different place than me and that's OK." Repeat! Haaa!! 😆

🍎Affirm: I Celebrate the best instead of rehearsing the worst.

🍎Affirm: I am too blessed to be stressed.

🍎Affirm: Love shows up in ALL areas of my life.

🍎Your inner dialogue matters!
Your inner dialogue!
How you love yourself.
What YOU believe about you, your worth, your value, your talents. That's the gold!

🍎If you are still saying “it’s my cheat day.”
My stomach is fat in this bathing suit. I ate “bad today.”
You are fucking up your soul & self love & body image & WORTH!! 🍒words matter. Flip the script, reverse it, try a new way!

🍔FOOD:
I was typing this up for someone + I got all excited about avocados!
Had to share!

Avocados:
🥬high in potassium which is really good for you if you're watching your blood pressure

*🥬anti inflammatory (excellent for you if you eat a lot of sugar wheat or dairy)
*🥬great for eyes, bones + immune system
🥬stabilizes blood sugar ( blood sugar balance means fat burning or fat storing)
🥬balances hormones ( hello!)

IDEAS:
🥬stuff with black beans +salsa
🥬Mash up + spread on toast with unsalted butter
🥬Add chunks of it to a salad with carrots + cilantro + sesame seeds+ Chinese dressing
🥬avocado to thicken smoothies instead of bananas
🥬Baked avocado fries : dipped in brown rice Panko + baked until crunchy
🥬Avocado + hummus
🥬Fancy but easy: chocolate avacado frosting
🥬Grilled cheese with avacado + tomatoes
🥬Avocado + basil + pine nuts + garlic= pesto instead of spaghetti sauce


WORKOUT:
🧁do it as a habit. Mindset DOES IT AS A HABIT. It is More than the results. Have to DO IT. Non negotiable ! It becomes a way of life!

How to feel joy & peace DURING change

What worked for you before
In other seasons of your life,
IS ALLOWED TO NOT work for you today or serve YOUR highest good TODAY.


Fitness wise
Weight loss wise
What was a good fit in a relationship
How your needs were met in your marriage five years ago
What you think is fun now
how you handle to your stress/anxiety
Peace of mind
What you find funny, fun, interesting
Navigating your career
What food you like & don’t
EVERY DANG THING.


Seasons. Phases. Stuff changes.


And forcing your old ways into your current phase can leave you:
Pissed, bitter, frustrated, confused, unfulfilled, numb, lost + disconnected.




I’ve been there. Stuff that worked & brought me joy or success or ease for years.....shifted BIG TIME!
Especially now as a hands on mama of 2 of my soul pies! Especially moving cross country & starting from scratch/simplicity!


My system through it is:


Identifying
•EXACTLY & CLEARLY WHAT ISN’T WORKING
exploring
•expressing it. Writing. Verbally. Physically. Give it release. Get it out!
Reflection
•go inside/Spirit/soul. What is this hear to teach me? Show me? Reveal to me? New wisdom?
Systems
•put new ideas, concepts, systems & tools in place that SERVE WHO YOU ARE + your highest good today!


AND
You need outdoor sunlight!
Eat well. Move & sweat.
Fill your mind & environment with uplifting stuff.
MATTERS!


Ask yourself today:
•If I have had 5% more assurance that ALL IS WELL + working out for me, what would that look like?


•What is an exact moment in my life, I was brave/open/courageous? How can I use that NOW!?

•what is true & is the narrator in my mind: spitting facts about my life or illusions?







*Work with me one on one
*INVITE me to talk at your office, retreat, girls night, or space.

❤️A lot of us have a old programmed habits from Childhood...
Be “nice.”
Be “happy.”
Be a High achiever & “perform”.
Be “perfect.”
Be “strong.”
It keeps us safe & secure & we believe that people, family, friends, society—-will like + love us.
If we stop performing, being nice, “on” and all that jazz, we think the love & being liked & accepted might stop.
❤️See where you teach your kids, family, partners, friends that message or you have received it! It all roots to value and unconditional love.
❤️Identify. Reframe & replace. Conditioned love is dangerous to your soul, heart, growth & mind!

Happy day!!

Set the tone for your week!!

Celebrate & pump yourself full of energy + sunshine & day- TODAY IS THE DAY!! All fabulous things are flowing in my world!!

Yessssss!!! Spread love, be love, see love, give love, share love!!!! That generates more energy & goodness!


Life tip:

Every day be thankful for what you've been through because now you are  here to be a teacher & of service to the world! 

The rough + tough stuff AND the blessed + joyful stuff.


Are you a planner? ( I just raised 100 of my hands!)

Plans give you certainty.

Certainty makes u feel safe.

Read that 100 times.


That's an illusion.


We Make plans because we want things to be controlled and certain. 


The reason we do that is we want everything to work out and feel SAFE + OK + happen in a way that makes us feel protected, taken care of + happy. 

So we think...


Feeling protected : that's the root of every plan people make in any area of their life!


People teach kids at a young age: go to college, get a degree, get a good job, get benefits, get a 401k, get married, have kids, buy a home, etc etc.

Society tells people make sure you're saving for retirement bc what are you going to do if not.

We tell people to have a plan for their kids+  for their marriage + for every fucking step we take.


And there's a time and place for that FOR SURE!! Yes!!

but when you do that a lot a lot a lot a lot--- it creates a fear fear fear fear fear mindset.

It stunts creativity & our true essence wanting to show UP!! 


You end up not even knowing what makes your soul sing + what you actually enjoy + you live life + you autopilot making decisions.


That is No way to live Bc You miss out on a truly enriched + amplified life!


And if your life experiences have been rough, you are more controlling + planner. 

Bc you crave more certainty + safety. 


Biggest truth:

Everything is rooted in a feeling we're trying to achieve!!!!!!


When you eat the entire bag of potato chips, 

when you say yes you'll work overtime at your job when you really want to say no, 

when you don't speak up when you want to, 

YOU dim your light....


* it is all rooted in a feeling you're trying to achieve ( satisfaction, security, success, likeability, comfort, etc)*


TAKEAWAY:

Plans are controlling the outcome.

Instead HOLD A VISION.


A vision is a goal with  room for life to flow + grow from a place of love + not fear AND from growth + not constriction. 

VISION!!!!!

Fergie & powerful women!

Hey sunshine’s!!

did anyone see Fergie sing the national anthem at the NBA All-Star game? OH MY. {we love the NBA!}

3 life lessons:

1-always support women and stand by them and hell to the yeah that she’s bold and courageous to sing the national anthem in front of millions of people. You have to have massive confidence and believe in yourself to tackle something like that. And she tried a totally different arrangement that was risky. Go Fergie!! I see you, girl!!!

You Win some + you lose some ——-but it’s always worth being bold and walking on water vs playing it safe & hiding.

I am sure we can all think of times we took a risk that didn’t work out for us how we intended, but applauded our badass self for being bold, risk taking, and confident!

2-it wasn’t the best, and the backlash was insane. This one comedian made a video imitating her and literally we could not breath!!!

And it was the deepest, tears down my face, belly laugh I’ve had in the last week !!!! It wasn’t mean. Just a release and humor.

Look up: #singlikefergiechallenge

You have to laugh!

Don’t Take yourself or life so serious. Breathe. Laugh!!!

you can’t take that kind of stuff serious when all these horrible things are going on in the world and peoples lives!

If you see yourself getting uptight about anything that isn’t life or death —take a breath and laugh instead!! I’m sure fergie laughed it off while she dusted her Grammy awards!

3- you can be both!

Outgoing and sensitive at the same time.

Supporting Fergie and thinking she’s amazing for doing that and also laughing at someone imitating what it sounded like.

Courageous and bold and the same time scared.

Feelings are feelings. Feel them all.

Today- be resilient, and relentless in your goals & dreams AND AT THE SAME DANG TIME, laugh and breath and don’t take life so serious & ALWAYS PUsh thru the excuses that come up!!!

YOU GOT THIS!

What keeps you grounded and full of gratitude

So......

Here are three deep truths that I live & believe since I was a kid.


1-I really believe that we are all here to serve the needs of the world.

I just love people. Been like that since I was a kid. It is How I talk &  how I express and I just LOVE loving people and being hands-on and uplifting others & helping their lives.

All of us are serving the world in a very specific way has nothing to do with your job or vacation. Has nothing to do with your job.

WHAT IS YOURS???? How are you serving the world -you magical wonderful beautiful -you??!! Member you are a miracle and a walking talking gift!!


2- If you come from any kind of background where you suffered or had hardship or struggle —-you appreciate life and are humbled and vulnerable-in a way that no one else can understand or be taught and *that is a gift.*

USE IT. Period. 


definitely one of my blessings and greatest strengths In my soul, 

what I offer in life & biz, 

in my perspective & in my out of the box viewpoints,  and as a parent & wife & woman—-

what I bring to the DANG table in ALL THINGS,

is because of the hardships and struggles I experienced in life. Amen! THEY are gifts. 

Be unapologetic and never embarrassed about your story! Use it to bless the world! Vulnerability is where magic happens.


3- people always say they’re searching or trying to deepen or looking for their spiritual life.

Alert!

Every minute of every second of every day of every aspect of your life IS your spiritual life. you are living and breathing it 24-7. Everything is woven together. Choose to feel it & see it & acknowledge it. It’s not something you search for! It is something you notice you have had all along and awaken to! 


4- bonus: whether you sell skincare or you’re starting your business or taking your business to the next level or trying to get a date——whatever phase you find yourself in life—--

Doing the same old fucking thing and the same old fucking blueprint that every other fucking person is doing will never get you the results that you crave!!!


Posting the same old shit on social media and you do the same old sales pitch and you do the same old blueprint with business or relationships   Or trying to get a raise or attempting anything or life STUFF—— you will get the same old result.

It has to have authenticity 

it has to match exactly who you are in your essence (so many people’s walk and talk and posts & and way of living don’t align )

It has to be outside of the box that makes you stand out from all the trillions of people on earth!

WHAT MAKES YOU, you?!


WATCH:

This video is with a superstar pastor and the number one radio broadcaster Charlemagne the God (Who is the New York Times bestseller & number one interviewer )

and it’s touching and true and resonated in my heart & made me cry and I hope it empowers & blesses you today!!

Let me know what resonated with you?

✨Empowering women. ✨
