Pivoting, then 😭, investing, then 😭, utilizing your network, then 😭, Being told NO, then 😭presenting and selling your ideas and still 😭...is NOT for the faint of heart!! All of this while balancing this thing called life. DON'T GIVE UP, DON'T COMPARE AND MAKE SURE YOUR TRIBE IS TIGHT!! 🙏🏾

Yes I am!! Happy Juneteenth!!! ✊🏾

It's ALL I got!! 🧘🏾‍♀️

Everyone does not have the capacity to give you what you deserve and it is important that you recognize that. It is important to love thyself first and pour into yourself. If you want a man to buy you flowers, buy them for yourself first. If you want someone emotionally available, be emotionally available for yourself. Give yourself what you deserve and everyone else will follow your lead.

I facilitated a workshop yesterday with some awesome ladies! We discussed boundaries and I shared with them how I used to be afraid to set boundaries because I was afraid I would loose the the person who I needed to set boundaries with.

Though I am still working on boundaries in another way myself, I taught them how to choose themselves because what they think and feel matters. Today, I want to encourage you to set boundaries when needed. People who love you will not leave and will honor your requests.

My coach posted this this morning! This is 💯 me!! ESPECIALLY if the energy is off!! ✌🏾

I learned a few years ago that my nervous system was FRIED!!! I totally bombed a very important interview that I worked hard to get due to my life spiraling simultaneously and my nervous system had enough. Stress, worry, anxiety, unhealthy eating, tons of sugar, consistent low vibrational energy will destroy your nervous system.

To repair it, I reduced my caloric intake, drank more water, meditate, go to the gym, go to sound bowl healing sessions, massages once per quarter, intentionally spending time in silence etc. Find out what works for you, your body will thank you! 😘

It does!!! Keep doing what you know to do, pray, keep yourself grounded, do things that make you happy and be around people who REALLY know how to pour into you and support you.

***Kinda long...but need to be said***

One of the most overlooked needs in any relationship is emotional safety.

When people feel emotionally safe with you, they can be honest without fear, express their feelings without being judged, and share their vulnerabilities without worrying they'll be used against them later.

But when emotional safety is missing, walls go up. Communication is guarded. Trust starts to fade. Small misunderstandings turn into bigger conflicts because people no longer feel secure enough to be fully themselves.

Relationships are not damaged only by what is said—they are often damaged by what people no longer feel safe enough to say‼️

Emotional safety is built through consistency, empathy, respect, active listening, and creating space for people to be human. It's not about agreeing on everything; it's about knowing that even during disagreement, love, respect, and understanding remain present.

The strongest relationships aren't the ones without conflict. They're the ones where both people feel safe enough to work through it. Okay...I am off my soap box! 😆
