I personally have been through my fair share of toxic relationships, so I want to help others who may be experiencing their own share of toxic situations.

I feel like a lot of people struggle with the balance of life, you’re not alone. I feel like this is a big reason why people don’t start in the first place or why they get when things get too hard.  In Mark 12:29-31, “Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mi...

I realized there are a lot of things in life that I do not enjoy doing.  So, when I decided to start running I did it because if I can get through that hard thing, I can get through anything.

It...

When going to record this episode, I had a whole different topic in mind but before recording I felt like God was speaking to me and I felt I had to share this message instead.   Looking back at old videos, I know how I used to feel during those times, but I am not the same person that I used to be because I allowed God to do a work in me.   God is calling you to have the fruits of the spirit in y...

I’m taking it back with you guys to the person I used to be before becoming successful. Originally I went to school to be a nurse and then along that journey I realized I really did not want to work for someone anymore. In order to help others the way that I want to, I had to start taking my inner work seriously. In order to do something for someone else, you have to do it for you first.  Main Hig...

Success looks different for everyone & I think it is really important for everyone to take note of that. Personally, I always thought that your bank account determined your amount of success in your life.  Comparing yourself to someone who makes more money than you, is not fair to yourself because God has a different plan and path for your life.  It is the amount of impact you have on people t...

There is so muc...

When deciding if our idea is a God idea, we first and foremost want to pray. Simply ask God if this is an idea from him.  I’ve had seasons where I look back and I know I was not following God’s path for my life. But the amazing thing about God is that he will always use our pain for purpose.  We are not meant to do life on our own!! God puts people in our lives so that we have people in our corner...
