So through my years of work as an entrepreneur and throughout life in general I have dealt with receiving more no’s than I can count. There have been times when I’ve tried to do certain things or be a part of certain things and I just simply felt overlooked and underrated. You may be experiencing the same thing in your life too. Whether it be at work, in your personal relationships, within your family…being overlooked isn’t fun. It can cause a lot of mental harm, depending on how you look at it. In order to keep going, I’ve had to develop a mindset that keeps me encouraged even when I feel like I’m being overlooked and underrated, and in today’s episode, I want to share with you a few things to keep in mind when those negative feelings hit due to being looked over and passed over and I hope to inspire you to see yourself.

In my opinion, every day is a great day to start. You don’t have to wait until the new year, until a new quarter, or until a new week (yall know we love to say we’ll start on Monday). Every day, every moment is an opportunity to start something new. So instead of focusing on the when, we are going to focus on a more important question, how? How do you start? In today's episode, I’m going to give you a few pointers on how to get going on your new journey, whether it be health, fitness, career, education, or self-growth. I’ll give you some steps to get you moving forward and to show you that starting isn’t as complicated and daunting as it feels. And I hope to inspire you to get going.

Rise and grind. Hustle hard. Booked and busy. These quotes have become mantras for those who want to be successful and just like you, they once were mantras for me too. And then I became very booked and very busy and gained some insight that I know I need to share with yall. So, in today’s episode I’m going to discuss with you some truths I learned about success and this hustle hard mentality and I hope to inspire you to create your success.

I saw this post on Instagram that said “call your strong friend so she can lie to you about how everything is fine” and it made me laugh, hard. I’ve been so guilty of this. And I know I’m not alone! The world is opening back up and people are trying to go back to normal, but this strong friend mentality isn’t something that I want to come back into play in your life. Or maybe being the strong friend is the only way you know how to be. Or maybe you are a friend to a strong friend and you’re not sure what to do. In today’s episode we are going to talk about the harm you take on when you portray being the strong one, how vulnerability can help you in the long run, and how to support someone who is always doing just fine. And I hope to inspire you to soften up.

How many times have you had a bad day and shared it with someone and they said “ah, it’s gonna be alright” or “don’t worry about it, things could be worse.” Or maybe when you’re going through a tough time you tell yourself “It’ll be fine” “everything is great”. Listen, It’s about time we stop lying to ourselves thinking it will help us feel good, because the truth is, sometimes too much positivity can be a bad thing. In today’s episode, we are going to discuss toxic positivity, what it is, why you shouldn’t do it, and how not to participate in it with yourself and others and I hope to inspire you to be truthful.
