Belief is often something many of us struggle with, so this week I am bringing a pep talk to you that you can reference anytime you need a little push or someone believing in you before you fully believe in yourself. Sis, I believe in you! You were born for this moment. So take it!

Difficult conversations are hard to have, but what's even harder is living a life that you are unhappy in and sometimes sick in. Being honest and transparent is the only way to have a solid conversation if you want to honor that relationship. There is no easy way out of it, but I am here to tell you that you will get through it. I hope to shed light and give perspective as I just recently went through something myself. It's time to be brave and have those hard conversations you have been putting off!

Do you know the difference of "fitting in" or "belonging?"

Being open to a difference in opinion doesn't come easy, but it can be done. Understanding that we are all humans that make mistakes and should never be looked at as perfect. That is an impossible expectation to be held up against.

When we can go from what's in it for me, how will this impact me, what does this mean for me, me, me to instead understanding how it may affect others we can gain insight into another way to think about things. We often times find it challenging to see perspective or see things clearly until it's "close to home," impacts us personally or it has already happened.

Today, I tackle two very different topics (Covid and Business) that are defined very differently by many people which has caused sides to be taken. But, just what if we could bring conversations back to our tables and into our relationships so that we can gain perspective and seek to understand how someone else is experiencing things that is different than our own experience. Sometimes that means we just have to agree to disagree, but it's the lack of real conversations that has unfortunately created the new narrative that we hold onto. Join me as I dive in!

Did you know that diversifying your income doesn't mean you need to start living this grandiose life that you have no intention of living, but that it's just plain smart? Giving yourself options, being better prepared for those unexpected times that can leave ruin in its tracks or just being able to say "YES" to the things you have had to say "NO" to can lighten the blow or give you that much needed cushion to support you in living the life you want. Come with me as I dive in!

An innocent decision fueled by my lack in self confidence led to my Breast Implant Illness. Today, it is my hope that I can share my story and journey to recovery and that just maybe I can reach at least one woman who needs to hear this and can start taking the steps needed to get her life back. This illness is no joke and it's very real! I'm very thankful that one brave woman shared her story and helped me get my life back!

If you know a woman who is experiencing any of these Breast Implant Illness symptoms share with her that there is hope and that her health is worth fighting for!

Be your own advocate! Life isn't always easy and navigating different seasons of life can be challenging. We have to listen inwards to that little voice that is telling us something is wrong or that we need to fight for more. We must learn to speak up for ourselves and know when to ask for help. In this episode, I share 4 examples in my own life where self advocacy was imperative. Come dive in with me and learn why I am so passionate in helping others learn how to do this well too.

Did you know that we can tell ourselves a new story? Yep, it is true. I know this, because I have learned to "unlearn and retell" a new story that isn't filled with lies that I have believed over the years or that no longer serve me. Often times, we go through life thinking "it is what it is", because we have been conditioned to believe what we have always told ourselves.

Unknowingly, I learned to make life harder than it needed to be and because of this it kept me stuck. Just what if, we could find perspective and make the necessary pivots to lead a more positive and productive life. Today, I share 4 different examples that I have grown through, ALL because of the new story I started telling myself! There is nothing about our past or the stories we have told ourselves that defines us. Our mindset can change everything!
