Be Patient With Your Mind Like You Are With Your Body
We often seek something that’s going to make us feel 100% better when we are not feeling good, physically or mentally. We are often looking for a fix, something to heal us completely and quickly. But sometimes, and more often than not, healing takes time. When you break a bone, they will give you medication […]
You Already Have the Strengths Within You
It felt a little rusty to give a speech last week. I have given speeches here and there during COVID, but none consistently as I had been doing pre-COVID. I was a bit nervous and took a lot of time to prepare and make sure I was ready to go and knew what to say. […]
Cheers to 2 Years!
I can’t believe that this month I am celebrating 2 years since I started this journey of sharing my story and a whole year since I left my full-time job to pursue my speaking career. A lot has changed since I first started this journey. I had no idea that a small blog launch event […]
What is Meant for You Will Always Find Its Way
I let go and trusted the universe, and it was the best decision I ever made. If you read my last blog post, then you know I was working through stress and anxiety around the unknowns of my wedding. Even after I posted though, I was still a ball of nerves. I spent that same […]
Don’t Let Stress Steal Your Joy

Each Moment is Part of Our Story of Growth
Honesty time, because that is what this blog is for and because my blogs resonate with what I’m feeling in that moment. I am having a tough time posting my blogs. I have this well-constructed goal in my head to post every Monday. Sometimes I ask myself why I have that goal, but I am […]
Turning Pain into Passion
What we are often not told growing up is that there will be a bunch of good days, but there will also be a lot of bad days, and then there will be a good amount of really sucky days. Some days will be hard. And that’s okay. I think it is easy to get […]
There’s Always Someone to Help Pick You Up
During a race at a track meet, if someone ever falls down for an injury and can’t finish the race, it is the most beautiful thing when another person sacrifices their own race to pick that person up and cross the finish line together. I think this act of kindness shows just how much we […]
Talking About Things That Make Us Uncomfortable Can Set Us Free
There is a lot of uncertainty in the world right now. There is a lot of pain in the world right now. It can be overwhelming at times. I have seen a lot of posts about how if you are silent right now with everything going on with the riots and people of color being […]
