Happy New Year! This is the time of year when many people are into setting goals, defining decisions, planning and making vision boards. The energy of a new year often feels like a call or a push to do something different, ppl talk about feeling a burst of ideas and inspiration. I think that’s fantastic. But it's important to be careful that we don't put all of our focus on our doing, without payi...

It’s the end of 2021, and you may be doing your version of looking back on your year, what you experienced because you want to enter into the new year with a greater intention. I get it. I this episode I'm sharing my perspective on that self-examination process. I’m identifying 3 lenses that I believe are helpful whenever we go through a season where we want to discover the answers that will help...

There are a lot of unspoken expectations that come with this time of year - one of the most prevalent is to be filled with happiness and joy. There isn’t much room to be and feel anything else.  But what if joy is scary right now? What if you feel like you're being pressured to perform something that doesn't feel authentic? This conversation is for you.  Resources Mentioned & Show No...

In the last podcast episode I talked about choosing for ourselves whether alone time is incubation or isolation, and in this episode I want to talk about one of the biggest revelations for me whenever I’m in that “by myself season”. I'm always challenged to acknowledge and admit whether the situations, relationships or circumstances that I’ve been in have been a garden or if it’s been a grave. Res...

Whenever we decide to change our lives in any way, we'll find ourselves spending more time by ourselves. When we start looking at people, places and things around us and feeling a growing dis-ease because we're questioning if that's the way we want to keep being, it's going to create a bit of friction and we'll want to be by ourselves to process. In this episode I'm talking about the power we have...

Hey yall! I'm back after a while and I'm excited for you to listen to this episode! If there's one thing I know about the confidence journey, it's that it's lifelong. We'll go through seasons of peaks and valleys and while we don't have control over what happens, we do have control over how we respond. In this episode I'm announcing the most recent response to what's been happening inmy own journe...

This time of grief and reflection has changed me in ways that I could have never expected, and in this episode I'm sharing one of my lessons from this season I'm in where I'm learning how to balance grief and growth.    As we are multifaceted humans I believe we can hold space for a variety of emotions, and that might look like mourning and joy at the same time.    Give yoursel...

The French/Latin origin of the word confidence means “to have full trust or reliance”, but what happens when you're in a season of grief? When you're grieving feels like the rug has been pulled out from under you, but it's possible to have a sense of grounding that you can depend on even while feeling like your world had been turned upside down. I know because I've been grieving for four months. I...

I don’t need to tell you how much chaos is going on in the world right now. If you’re not watching the news you’re probably looking out the window and seeing the foolishness happening. It’s just disrespectful…. In this episode I'm sharing how these tragic, traumatic and trying times might have us riding around with balding tires and low oil...it's time for an emotional wellness tune-up.  Reso...

Generally speaking, we tend to think of the confidence journey as only positive, painted with Instagram-worthy quotes and images of us luxuriating on a beach being #unbothered. We have a superficial perception that confidence is something we see, something that is 'candy-coated" and only looks the way we see it portrayed on TV and social media. We don't acknowledge the challenges that are necessar...

So I'm still on the courage thing....I've been thinking about courage a lot lately as a pillar of confidence, partly because we're seeing women on global stages call up their courage & make moves that are aligned with the quality of life THEY desire to live. Becoming confident will require our courage, and in this episode I'm sharing two questions that you can ask yourself when it's time to ac...

In this mini episode I want to talk about courage, because folks tend to think of confidence as a feeling of accomplishment or boost of self-esteem and I know differently. I know that confidence is not possible without courage, courage is a necessary ingredient. You won't get through your journey without it, so let's chat.  Resources Mentioned & Show Notes Confidently Me Digital Self-Disc...

Have you ever heard the phrase, "casting your pearls before swine"? It's from Bible, Jesus is speaking about wasting our gems with people who won't appreciate or honor it for what it is. In this episode I’m talking about how we have a choice to treat our vulnerability like our pearls, and the importance of being careful where we share it. Let’s get into it.

The summer months bring transitions. The temperature gets warmer, the days get longer and students of all ages turn their tassels at graduations. But what about those of us who aren't in school? What does "graduation season" look like for us?  In this episode I'm challenging us to take a look at ourselves and ask if we're designing our lives in a way that prepares for new chapters, or are we...

"If we're not careful, our self-talk will become the voice of our ego." In this episode you'll hear some of the conversation we had on the May 17 edition of Mondays w/Mo, all about ego and our self-talk. Our ego is always looking for a reason to show up, and I want us to become more aware of what "she" is saying so we can choose to release her when we're ready to grow. Resources & Show Notes:&...

Our confidence is able to grow when we decide to practice saying "Yes" to new ways of thinking and being; we get to activate the confidence loop that keeps us moving in the direction of the woman we're becoming. And if confidence manifests in a loop, so can self-doubt. Let's discuss.  Resources Mentioned & Show Notes Did you enjoy this episode? There’s more in our private community! Join...

Life is always trying to teach us things – if we’re open to learning the lessons. As we move through our journeys of nurturing our confidence so we're able to glow, I believe we'll have to discipline ourselves to look for the lessons from every experience. In order to get to the lessons and takeaways, we’ll have to be willing to do an autopsy.  Resources Mentioned & Show Notes Did you enj...

How did you know that it was time to grow? I look back and recognize that there were patterns of discomfort that showed up in my life prior to me taking some of the biggest leaps in my life. I don't think I would've made some of the decisions I did if I wasn't already uncomfortable at the time. In this episode I’m talking about how discomfort can be deliberate, very much like the fairy tale The Pr...

I don't believe there is anything we can buy that will give us the confidence to create the lives we desire. Sure, a dress or some BOMB shoes will help us feel extra saucy for a moment, but once we take those things off, the feeling goes with it. Even though we can't buy confidence, I believe we can borrow it. In this episode I'm sharing how being shoved into an uncomfortable position while I was...

Confidence looks different on every woman, and sometimes we'll have to endure some "less than ideal" situations in order to get to our version of confidence. In this episode I'm sharing a story about how my days as a young soldier provided the foundation for the confidence that sustains me today. Once you get it, you've got it.  Resources Mentioned & Show Notes Did you enjoy this episode?...
