Would You Take Your Own Advice? Be Honest.

You ever notice how people will give advice like it’s the key to life, but when you ask them if they’d follow it in your shoes, they get quiet real quick?  It’s like they’ve got all the answers until the spotlight’s on them  and it’s giving ‘Do as I say, not as I do.’  And, honestly, I’ve been there too. I'm no better. I’ve had those moments where I’ve given advice I wouldn’t even take myself.  But self-reflection teaches you a lot about how and why you give advice and why sometimes, we need to check ourselves. Let's unpack that!

Know Yourself and Separate The Noise

Who I Am Is Not Up for Debate You spend so much time just living your life, doing your thing, only for people to project their insecurities, assumptions, and straight-up wrong ideas onto you. And somehow, they turn their misunderstanding of you into your problem. If you’ve ever felt like people only see their own issues when they look at you—girl, same. People love to project (and loudly). People will look at you and see whatever makes sense for their story. It’s wild how much they’ll try to convince you that their perception of you is the truth. But the thing is... none of that noise is your responsibility.

Gratitude Is Grown Woman Work

Thanksgiving is here, and while everyone’s reflecting on what they’re grateful for, I’ve been thinking about how gratitude isn’t always easy.   It’s not just about the big, obvious things—it’s also about finding something meaningful in the middle of life’s chaos.  And if we’re being honest, that’s the space I’ve been living in lately.  Gratitude doesn’t always come naturally, but it’s still something I’m choosing to lean into and that’s where the grown-woman work comes in. Lately, I’ve been craving something deeper—emotional intimacy, connection,  presence .  I want to feel seen.  I want someone to get it—to really see and understand me—without me having to explain every little thing.  I’m not ready to date or anything, but I am ready to make new connections and forge better friendships.  I want to be around people who genuinely like and appreciate me for who I am, people who make me feel seen and valued in ways that feel real and mutual. BUT, Thi...

When The Truth Get's Twisted & You're Left To Drown

It’s incredibly exhausting when you’re drowning, flailing, barely keeping your head above water, and people can’t see it or don't want to.  Like you’re out here fighting for your life, and instead of throwing you a lifeline, they’re either telling you to figure it out on your own or asking why you didn’t save them . Like… how? I can’t even save myself. And let’s not pretend this isn’t a thing .  How many people battling addiction, struggling with mental health, or even unaliving themselves were treated this same way?   Does anyone ever wonder how they got to that point or did they just detach and judge them?  Were they left to fend for themselves because, apparently, helping them wasn’t anyone’s “ responsibility .”  If it’s not our moral obligation to help each other—especially the people closest to us—then what’s the point anyway? Yes, there are situations people need to handle on their own.  Yes, there are lessons they’ll only learn through struggle....

Sis, It’s Time to Rebuild and Step Into That Confidence You Deserve

Over the last few years, life has been giving me lessons I didn’t even ask for. I was married for five years (we’d been together even longer), and recently, my husband and I decided to part ways. I’m not gonna lie—this new chapter has been uncomfortable. Like, really uncomfortable.  But it’s also been the kind of discomfort that forces you to grow.  For so long, I felt like I wasn’t fully me in that relationship. Now? I’m rediscovering who I am. Which I guess is perfect timing because I’ll be 30 next year.   I’m focused on rebuilding and showing up for myself again. 🫶🏽✨ And let me tell you, it feels so good.  I’m starting to see myself in the mirror and recognize the woman I’ve always been.  If you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or like you’ve lost yourself, sis, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too, and I’m here to help you find your way back to you.

How to Drive Massive Traffic to Your Website Using Pinterest

  Alright, sis, let’s talk about one of the most underrated tools for driving traffic to your website: Pinterest .  You might be using it to plan your dream home or create a virtual vision board but it is also a goldmine for business. If you’re not leveraging Pinterest to boost your website traffic, you’re leaving money on the table  and I don’t like that for you sis.  What is Pinterest? For those who might not be super familiar, Pinterest is a visual search engine. Unlike other social media platforms, Pinterest isn’t just about connecting with friends or following influencers.  It’s a place where people go to find inspiration and discover new ideas—whether it’s recipes, home decor, fashion tips, or yes, products to buy. Pinterest works by allowing users to create and organize “boards” where they save “pins.”  Each pin is essentially an image or graphic that links back to a website. So when someone clicks on a pin, they’re taken directly to the site it’s l...

Navigating Life Shifts: Taking Time to Heal and Learn About Yourself

Sis , if you’re reading this, chances are you’re going through some major emotional shifts, just like I am right now.  Life’s got a way of throwing curveballs, doesn’t it?  I’m currently navigating a major life change, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. But here’s the thing: as much as it feels uncomfortable, it’s been an opportunity to dig deeper into myself and figure out what’s been keeping me stuck, emotionally. Like, I’ve been learning about validation – you know, that need for someone to tell you that you’re enough, that you’re doing alright.  But I’ve realized that seeking that validation from others, especially when I haven’t given it to myself first, is a recipe for disaster.  It got me thinking about how my emotional reactions are tied to old patterns, like attachment styles.  If you’ve ever heard of “disorganized avoidant” or “fearful avoidant,” let me tell you—those hit a little too close to home. I was reading through some material the othe...
