Who do you think you need to be in in order to be happy, healthy, in love or successful.  Is it realistic? Is it authentic to you?

Break before burnout is a conversation about the choice we make when we are pushing our edge.  Do you feel overwhelmed sometimes to the point where you're tired?

With another season around the corner we can take note form Fall and make like the trees and let the dead things go.  Whether you're looking back on your life on lockdown with remorse or regret for what you did or didn't do, shift your energy to where you are now and how will you use your regrets to get you closer to the life you want to lead.

Introductions are annoying straight up.  I share how I've bombed some and what my cousin shared that will help you and I get better at saying less but saying your truth.  Challenge! Try describing yourself without saying what your job is.  It's so freeing to me to be able to detach myself form what I do (especially because I don't particularly like it) and instead share a part of my...

Brandy vs Monica was a mess but it reminded me of my own situtation.  What happens when the vibe isn't right?
