Impact For The Culture

In this episode I talk about the importance of continuing to push forward. “Keep Going!” Is an important message I have to tell myself daily. In the midst of storms, stress, life, blessings and burdens… it’s easy to get overwhelmed and lose track of what needs to be done to live our best lives. We can get distracted and retract. I am constantly battling myself and my bad habits. If you struggle to be happy, to stay on track and / or to be consistent with pushing forward despite what you’re going through…. Tune in. I recorded it today and wanted to share it right away so it’s not edited but I hope it’s helpful. If you like this podcast please leave a 5-star review and share it on social media.

This episode is dedicated to all of the amazing, resilient, hard working, big dream having people that struggle and have experienced trauma throughout life. I am here for you and I know that focusing on yourself and what YOU need isn’t always easy or at the top of the list but please tune in and take the time to self reflect. There’s a limit to what we are capable of if we aren’t good. There’s more that can be accomplished if we do cater to our needs. I pray you heal and continue to live the abundant, thriving, flourishing life you deserve filled with happiness, peace, great health, wealth, love and success. Healing isn’t always easy. Working with a counselor isn’t always fun. Unpacking trauma doesn’t always feel good. It will however always and forever be worth it. Thank you so much for taking the time to support me by listening to this podcast.

In this episode, I share insight on my experience blending family and business! Balancing the two can be hard at times so I want to share some of what works for me and what doesn’t with hope that it helps you create more peace and order in your life down the line. To me, balance doesn’t mean everything is perfect and that you have all this energy to tackle everything and that life always goes according to plan. It’s the opposite. Life isn’t perfect and stuff is always coming up that throws you off, but if you implement things that assist you with maintaining your balance the process can be much more enjoyable. I do recommend you write some notes as you tune in. If you aren’t able to catch everything, take the time to highlight what resonates with you most. Once this episode is over, take a quick minute to self reflect about the items on your list and pick 2-5 top priority things you want to focus on. Life is a one day at a time process and it’s no rush. Remember….building proper habits and actually implementing change even if it’s one thing, promotes sustainability. We achieve long term success when we take the time to pour into ourselves and implement strategic plans to improve our lives. I am proud of you and thank you for tuning in!

In this episode I explain that I have a habit / history of trying to rush and finish a bunch of tasks before the end of every year. This habit is not an effective one and over the years I’ve learned how to strategically plan for what’s ahead instead of stressing myself out. Take the time to strategize and self reflect. A new year is a new opportunity to live your best life. It is an opportunity to cultivate your health and wellness. It’s a new opportunity to thrive and flourish. As we push our agenda forward, let’s identify what works and what doesn’t so we can attempt to avoid stress and chaos. I wish you the best and pray that 2024 is your most abundant year yet. Thank you for tuning in to this episode and if you haven’t already please share it on social media and / or leave a 5-star review. I appreciate each and every one of you!

Tune in if you feel like you need to declutter various areas of your life, your home and or your business. Reorganizing and resetting is a responsible and necessary task every once in a while. As we live and go about life sometimes things get crazy and out of place…that’s normal. But what can we do to create flow and order? How can we organize our life in a way where we are eliminating stress and chaos? In this episode, I share my decade + of experience working to live a luxurious/minimalistic/ organized / clean / stress free life. Building wealth, growing businesses, taking care of yourself and your family, etc is not easy and can be extremely overwhelming at times. I am a true believer that your environment contributes to the quality of your life and how to days go. If this resonates with you and you are interested in creating change, reorganizing and giving yourself a reset, join me on my journey and connect with me on Instagram to share where you’re at with it and what your goals are! I look forward to working on this together!

This episode was recorded a few weeks ago and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to share it but f*ck it here you go lol. Feeling like sh*t and looking like sh*t sucks. It’s frustrating, discouraging and in some cases debilitating. I’m sure this message isn’t for everyone but anyone that’s tuning in and for the people that do resonate: I appreciate you, you are amazing, beautiful, handsome, talented and I am so proud of you and all you’ve done. I decided to talk about feeling like shit because It’s been relevant in my life on and off for my entire life. I always go through phases where I am insecure or self conscious. The crazy part is as time passes, I look back at my pictures and videos sometimes and think about how beautiful and happy I look but I remember that in those moments I didn’t feel that way. I remember in the moments of depression, anxiety and suffering just feeling like I looked like shit. Feeling like you could see my suffering when you looked at me. Even at times where I’ve been doing well mentally, there’s still situations where I don’t feel my best physically. No matter what I’ve been through, 8 times out of 10, I had a issue with one thing or another and was self conscious about something. Nothing was or ever is perfect. With that being said, I am not interested in waiting until the time passes to realize it was better than I thought. I want to live in the moment and appreciate what it is in all seasons of my life. I am challenging myself to take action and consistently to do what will contribute to me feeling my best. We have to take care of ourselves and take the time to pour into us and our needs. I hope this short message was encouraging and that you focus on how amazing you truly are. Take care of you. Love yourself and pour into yourself. You deserve to feel good, amazing, heathy and at peace. Thank you again and I look forward to connecting with you on the next episode!

This episode, ‘Didn’t Go According To Plan’ was motivated by an experience I had last week while attempting to record a new podcast episode. I drafted an outline about Real Estate Market Tends and I quit less than 5 minutes into recording it. My energy was low because I’ve been sick and I just wasn’t feeling it. I couldn’t focus and follow the outline. I abruptly stopped mid recording and said “I’m not doing this” lol. I sat there for a few minutes to think about what topic I could record off the top of my head to salvage the time I dedicated. Naturally something not going according to plan came to mind and I got right back into it. Although, nothing is perfect, I am so grateful for my ability to discern when it’s time to pivot and go a different direction. Here’s some tips I outlined in this episode: 1. Know when it’s time to pivot. 2. Pushing yourself into something you wouldn’t normally do can be a great thing but so is staying in your comfort zone if that means you’re getting things done. 3. Simplify your process. Personally and professionally, take the time to simplify your habits and routines. Stop overthinking and get your tasks done. 4. Create realistic to-do lists and finish what you start. Don’t get in the habit of rolling your tasks over to the next day! Finish so you can move down your list. Simplicity will make it easier to finish your tasks. 5. You’re doing a great job regardless of where you’re at in your process. Focus on pouring into yourself, loving yourself and continuing to give yourself exactly what you need. One day at a time. In this episode I also referenced a business coach I’ve worked with in the past named Cat Del Carmen.

“Resistance To Results” was motivated by a slow week I had recently. I was tired, unmotivated, not feeling well and emotionally drained. As I let the days pass without being as productive as I wanted to be, I began to get increasingly stressed and my productivity continued to decline. I had to remind myself that being complacent in my misery was not a strategy I was willing to accept and feed into. Sometimes we have to get out of our own way and realize that we are allowing ourselves to be miserable and a lack of action will just continue to perpetuate the issue. As I was self reflecting and trying to get myself out of a negative space, I decided to share my perspective with you. In the long run, you have to be good in order for life to be smooth, peaceful and enjoyable but in the short term, nothing is perfect and it’s normal to have down days. You have to push through! Don’t let it build up. Snap out of it. Give yourself what you need and take it one moment, one day at a time. Turn your resistance into results! I appreciate you for your support and taking the time to listen to this podcast. Please share it on social media and connect with me on Instagram at @faithfullywealthy.

This episode is about the importance of being willing to pivot in your life and business when necessary. I was motivated to share this topic with you because it’s been a season of pivoting for myself, my family, friends, clients and colleagues. As I recorded the episode, I found myself referencing how society perceives success on social media and the importance of not allowing that to distract you from your own life and goals. Allowing yourself to be inspired by things you see online is important and okay but don’t stress yourself out trying to emulate the same lifestyle you follow without knowing the stress, burden and sacrifice that comes with what you seek. Wealth, abundance, overflow, more than enough, blessings, health, etc are all 10000% obtainable and I want that for all of us but I want the amazing life you build and continue to build for yourself to be sustainable and enjoyable. In order for it to be sustainable, you have to build a solid foundation. Focus on yourself and your life. Stay in your lane. Understand blessings do come with burdens. Prepare yourself for the blessings. Prepare yourself for the burdens. Focus on your wellness and surround yourself with good people that care about you and experts that are willing to be transparent. This episode is dedicated to my mom who I mentioned at the end of the episode when referencing several loans she’s given me, one specifically to help me buy a car in 2014. I just want her and anyone that’s helped me in life to know how grateful I am and that none of what has been done goes unnoticed. I am forever thankful for any support, love, resources, opportunities, advice, lessons and relationships I’ve gained over the years. To my mom and anyone that’s contributed to who I am today, thank you - thank you - thank you!

Episode 13. “Real Estate Tax Crisis” was inspired by my decade + of experience working with investors and developers to manage their real estate taxes and file appeals when they are being inaccurately over-charged. This issue is urgent and relevant for anyone that owns property or knows someone that does. Please share this information. Based on preliminarily research I found that, “most local governments in the United States impose a property tax, also known as a millage rate, as a principal source of revenue. This tax may be imposed on real estate or personal property. The tax is nearly always computed as the fair market value of the property times an assessment ratio times a tax rate, and is generally an obligation of the owner of the property. Values are determined by local officials, and may be disputed by property owners.” Due to the fact that real estate taxes are based on your properties market value, it’s very important to make sure your market value is accurate. If you notice your value is significantly higher than comparable neighboring properties…research the market value appeal process in your city. Philadelphia homeowners and investors!!! Please go to www.property.phila.gov, type in your property address and review your Market Value / Taxable Land Values for 2024 and all years prior! If we don’t get in front of inaccurate overassessed market values, if we don’t identify a solution at scale, we could see a significant increase in real estate tax delinquencies and subsequently a significant decline in ownership within our communities. The wealth that we’ve built, that our family has built, that our ancestors built and obtained through real estate could continue to be lost. I encourage you to share this information with anyone that will listen. Whether you are a homeowner, investor, know someone that is, or you currently rent. Regardless of where you are at this information is relevant.
