On today's episode, I'm getting real and to the point. This episode is all about the power of showing up for yourself. I'm diving deep into why it's so important to be your own biggest fan, and why you don't need anyone else's approval to know you're doing great. I've shared some personal stories, including heart-to-hearts with my kids, about the importance of staying true to yourself and not depending on others to validate your self-worth. I want you to remember that you're a reflection of GOD, and it's essential to keep your light shining bright. 🌟

In today's episode, we dive into something that was sparked by a recent post from Queen Lisa Marie and a previous episode with Queen Antrice Hart: Intentionality and Purpose. You know, sometimes life gets so busy that we forget to pause and ask ourselves why we're doing what we're doing. But trust me, taking that moment to reflect can make all the difference. So sit back, relax, and let's talk about how to hit that reset button and get intentional about our purpose.
First things first, let's talk about INTENT. Ever feel like you're just going through the motions without really knowing why? Yeah, I've been there too. But understanding your intent behind every action can bring clarity and direction to your life. Whether it's at work, in relationships, or pursuing your passions, knowing your why can keep you focused and motivated.
Now, let's discuss recognizing when it's time to hit that reset button. Burnout is real, y'all, and pushing through it won't do you any favors. So listen to your body, pay attention to those warning signs, and don't be afraid to course-correct when necessary. Remember, it's okay to pivot and realign your actions with your PURPOSE.
And finally, let's talk about self-care. It's not selfish to prioritize your well-being, fam. In fact, it's essential. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. So take those breaks, indulge in some self-care rituals, and recharge your batteries.
At the end of the day, living with purpose and intention is what's going to bring you true fulfillment. So take some time to reflect, journal, and rediscover your passion. Align your actions with your goals and make conscious choices that serve your greater purpose. Trust me, it'll be worth it, you'll thank yourself later.

Peace fam,
Remember, 'No Matter How You Cut It Or Slice It, We Are All In This Together'

In this episode,  we talking all about importance of self-care and the metaphorical weight we all carry. I know I'm not alone in sometimes feeling overwhelmed and burdened by the weight of the world. I recently came across a post by Queen Lisa Marie of @seasoned_dialogue that got me thinking. She talked about being a 🩼CRUTCH🩼, and it resonated with me deeply.  We all have our own busy lives and responsibilities, and it's easy to feel like we're carrying too much weight on our own shoulders. And the weight of our burdens can sometimes feel like we're carrying too much on our shoulders, like 🩼CRUTCHES🩼 under pressure. 
Self-care isn't just a new buzzword—it's essential for our mental and emotional well-being. Neglecting self-care can leave us feeling drained and overwhelmed.  Let's prioritize ourselves and make self-care a non-negotiable part of our routine.  Join me  as I share my thoughts on the importance of self-care and recognizing when we're carrying too much weight, whether it's our own or others'. I also share some practical tips and strategies for shifting that weight and finding support.
Take a moment to reflect on your own "🩼CRUTCHES🩼"— the things in your life that weigh you down. Whether it's work stress, relationship issues, or societal pressures, it's crucial to identify these burdens so we can start to address them. 
Now, let's talk strategies for lightening the load. Setting boundaries, seeking support from loved ones, and practicing mindfulness are all powerful tools in our self-care toolkit. Most importance, it's okay to put yourself first sometimes  and learn to let go and ask for help when needed.

In today's episode, I reflected on a passage I read about two men being chased by a bear, highlighting the concept of competition and the drive to excel. It's not just a thought; it's a life lesson about outpacing not the bear, but the person beside you. It's a metaphor for life's race, where the goal isn't just to survive, but to thrive and be a step ahead. We need to push the boundaries, set the bar high, and want to inspire to be the best.

Lastly, I also tipped my hat to the incredible South Carolina Lady Gamecocks. I'm telling y'all, the fire and grit of the women's basketball team is something to behold. They're not just playing; they're revolutionizing the game for young women of color. Their resilience, excellence, and unwavering determination on/off the court serve as a powerful reminder to us all to never give up on our dreams, no matter the obstacles we face. It's a testament to pursuing your dreams relentlessly, no matter the obstacles. They truly embody the spirit of perseverance and I couldn't be prouder to support them.
