A second chance at life®

As I wrap up the dream series, I wanted to give you the final piece to making your dreams come true. There are many areas of your life that you want to set goals for, and each area should have its own list. Having a list will serve as a blueprint/road map on where you need to focus your time and energy. Understand there will be seasons of your life where you will not feel like working on your goal...

The number one reason why people do not accomplish their dreams is that they do not take action. Do you know the difference between a dream and a goal?  As a kid, I loved to dream and thought of the possibilities of what my life could turn out to be. Dreaming is what kept my imagination going. But, once I got a little older, I realized I had to do something about those dreams for them to come...

What do you do when you put your dreams on hold to focus on your family?  In today's interview, I spoke with a single mother of 2 who courageously stepped out and pursued her dreams. Obstacles came her way, but she knew she had a legacy to leave to her daughters. With discipline, resilience, and coach, April left her 9 to 5 job to pursue her dreams full time. The thing that kept her focused was kn...

"Hold on to your dreams of a better life and stay committed to striving to realize it " -Earl G Graves. Have you ever closed your eyes and imagined what it would be like if you lived a particular lifestyle, made a crazy amount of money, drove a specific car, start a successful business, or become debt-free? We all have!  Life gets in the way and makes us re-think the thing we wanted so bad. I...

Have you ever asked God for something, hoping he would give it to you just because you asked? My passion is to help women, but my weakness is speaking in public. Whenever there was an opportunity to talk in front of others, I would either decline or be so nervous that I would fumble over my words and talk fast. One morning, I heard a word from God that said, "Stay ready, so you do not have to get...

Everything you have in life is the result of you believing in yourself. Sometimes you want something bad enough that you think about it over and over again until it starts to feel real. Then all of a sudden, doubt creeps in, and you stop believing that it was possible, so you give up. Why is it so easy for us to count ourselves out and not believe it is possible? In this episode, I give you 4 ways...

When is the last time you received a promotion? 6 months ago, 1 year ago, or maybe even 2 years or more? This promotion I am talking about is the kind you give yourself.  YOU worked hard. YOU sacrificed for others. YOU put your life on hold. Isn't it time for YOU to reward yourself? Your promotion doesn't have to be monetary. It could be in your time, self-care, relationships, or well-being....

How many of us can honestly say we are living a meaningful life? Living a meaningful life will means something to each person. When I was in my 20's, I thought a meaningful life meant money, fame, and success. As I got older, I realized none of these things were as important as family, time, and peace. In today's episode, I will give you 9 ways to live a meaningful life. Focus on what matters most...

Everyone has a birthdate and a death date, but what we do in the dash is what matters. Have you ever thought about what people would say at your eulogy? They were friendly, they were sweet, they were unhappy, they were spiteful, or they lived their life to the fullest. Appreciate the little things in life that are right in front of you. Don't let social media make you glamorize other people's live...

But, then I realize I am missing out on opportunities to live my life. It is time for me to start living and stop givi...

Can you believe the first half of 2021 is complete? In this episode, I give you eight things you can reset. I was initially going to do ten but forgot to mention them during the episode, so I listed them below. In June, I took some time out to look at where I was in my life, and I realize that some areas were further than others, but there were some things I was behind in. So I needed to check in...

Self-care is something that we all need. I, unfortunately, neglected self-care and become overextend/burnout. I knew I was not doing the things I needed to keep my mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical space intact. I thought I could push through, and my body would bounce back like it usually did, but not this time. My body decided to shut down. Luckily I caught it early and took a week and a...

Burnout is something we have to take ownership of. When our body has been giving us signs that it is approaching "empty" and needs us to pull over and fill up, we need to listen. Please do not wait until you are "empty" before you recognize burnout. Be in tune with yourself to know when to stop what you are doing and reassess what your body needs. Steps to prevent burnout: Figure out what has led...

Last week's interview with Marci Milisap of QueensRx taught me that my health needs to be my priority. In this episode, I talk about some of  the challenges of being a truck driver and the consequences of it when you don't take care of your health.

Her family can shower her with love, gifts, affirmations but the void of not having her mom is still there. Though this episode is for those who have lost their mother, I have a few tips for those whose mother is still here. It is not too late to preserve their memory. If losing you...

In this episode, I get a little emotional because it is a love letter to my Mom. Thankful she is still alive to hear this.  If your Mom is still alive, I encourage you to tell your Mom how you feel.

Grab your tissue and...

Today I want to celebrate our Mothers!! The ones that make things happen at a moment's notice. The one who could give you a look at the side of her eye, and you straighten up. The one who loves you unconditionally while others gave you conditions.

What would your life look like if you had no debt? Would you be able to... Take more vacations? Retire early? Start a business? Send your child to college debt-free? Take care of your parents? I know a lot of us would love to have some extra money each month. At the age of 19, I had over eight credit cards, and I was irresponsible with them all. As I got older, debt stopped me from buying my first...

As we continue with the financial series, I want to talk about saving for an emergency. Do you have money saved up for an emergency?  Many of us spend more than we make, and unfortunately, we forget to put money aside for a rainy day. Gallup did a survey before the 2008 crisis hit and found out that only 32% of Americans would be able to cover an emergency of $5,000 without borrowing money. T...

Do you know where your money is going? When you get a lump sum of money, you have to be mindful of your current financial situation. Before you spend all of your stimulus check, tax refund, or paycheck, you want to make sure your finances are in order. It so easy to want to spend it on things you wanted to get for the last year or so, but what about the people you owe, fix things that are broken,...
