Stop Waiting for Opportunity to Come to You

Sis, let me be real with you for a minute. A couple of months ago, I had enough. Enough of waiting around for something to happen. Enough of hoping that some magical opportunity would just fall into my lap. You know what I realized? Opportunities aren’t just handed out like party favors. They can be given, sure, but just as easily snatched away. So I decided—I wasn’t going to sit around and wait for someone to open a door for me. I was going to kick that door down and create my own damn opportunities. And that’s exactly what I did. My best friend and I decided to take a risk and host our first women’s meet-up and networking event. We didn’t wait for an invitation to someone else’s table—we built our own. And guess what? It was a hit. We didn’t know all the answers, and we definitely didn’t have everything figured out. But we took the leap anyway, and it paid off big time. So, what opportunities are you waiting on? You’re sitting there wishing you had more m...

Rediscovering My Dream: From Boutique Burnout to Fulfillment

Girl, let me share something raw with you. There’s a huge difference between chasing a goal and living a dream. Tabitha Brown said it best—goals are just things you wake up one day and decide to do. Maybe it’s because you saw someone else do it, and you thought, “I want that too.” But a dream? A dream is different. A dream is that thing that keeps you up at night, the purpose deep inside you that God planted there. It’s the thing that tugs at your heart, no matter how busy life gets. I’ll be honest with you—that did something in my spirit. It really got me thinking like, my boutique used to be my everything. It was my passion, the thing I couldn’t wait to pour myself into. But over time, it started to feel like just another job. It became a task on my to-do list, a chore, something I had to get through rather than something I loved. When burnout hit, I wasn’t rushing to get back to it. I felt stuck. So, I asked myself, “What is my real dr...

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....
