The Slow Down Method

Talk about a crazy week!  There was the Super Bowl, Valentine's Day, and I'm still packing to get ready to move to PA.  Needless to say, it's been a exciting time, but very stressful too.  This week's episode, I talk about dealing with my anxiety, the excitement of new adventures, and appreciation for the people in my life.  Enjoy the episode!

When I first moved from my previous place to my current one, there was a lot of stuff I had to get rid of.  Some of it was little knick-knacks and others were more important items.  I got rid of some of those things on each side.  Even though I wished I could've kept most of it, I knew I couldn't.  Fast forward to now and I'm about to move back home.  Thank God I didn't ho...

Life is filled with different chapters in our lives.  Some are filled with great moments and others are silenced by sad events.  Maybe we're learning to develop in a skill, find our value, or maybe just heal from our past.  The journey maybe long, but it is worth it.  After almost ten years living in Florida, I have decided that I am moving back to Pennsylvania.  There was...

What is your theme for this year?  Maybe you have thought of it, know it, or never even considered it.  I believe that titling our year can help us with what to expect.  Maybe we're looking for growth or gaining confidence.  Perhaps it's finding peace or finding new challenges to encounter.  Whatever your theme might be, it can help set the tone or set our sights on what w...

Fear.  It's something that we all have to deal with.  Sometimes it's as simple as turning on the lights or perhaps it's a long journey to recovery.  Fear can teach us a lot of things, but that doesn't mean we need to always be led by it.  Fear can point out what we lack or a flag that needs to be noticed.  Sometimes fear can trick us to think that we if we don't fix this c...

New year, new me.  I'm sure you've heard that saying at the start of every new year.  I don't know about you, but for me, it's one of the biggest cliches I've ever heard.  However, what would you do if you could change yourself as easily as saying that phrase?  It may take a bit more work, but I believe we can change and even grow past our limitations.  We might not always...

It's almost the new year!  Do you have goals or resolutions for this upcoming year?  I believe that goals are powerful steps that can get us to where we need to go.  Sure, annual goals are great, but there's still a few more days before the new year.  What do you want to accomplish for this year?  What do you want to accomplish for the day?  Today's episode I talk abo...

In today's episode, I give three points to challenge your life.  Check your circle.  People are either there to support you or they're there to impede your growth, make sure you got the right people in your circle.  Take responsibility.  At the end of the day, you are the one that makes the choices in your life.  Everyone will give you advice, opinions, and perspective, bu...

In this episode I take the time to focus in on who you.  I bring examples in my life and ask the question, who are you?  I know that may sound silly, but I don't think we take enough time to see who we are or better yet, who we aren't.  I talk about God and life lessons I've learned growing up.  At the end of the day, you are responsible for your own life so make sure you're st...

What is your purpose? I'm sure you've been asked this question a million times throughout your life.  For the longest time, I thought I had to figure it all out.  I mean, who wouldn't want to live out their passion for the rest of their lives?  Wow, doesn't that sound like a lot?  I think purpose is more than just one thing.  Actually, I hope it's more than one thing or el...

When I was a kid I had an ideal plan on how I wanted life to go...fast forward to life as a 29 year old and life looks different than my expectations.  Maybe you're like me, life doesn't exactly look like how you planned it to be, that's okay!  Oftentimes, we do this thing called, pivoting.  This is where we make space in our lives or look at different avenues we can go down.  ...

Don't worry I'm not trying to sell you a 12-week class on how to achieve your goals, but how many times have we failed in achieving what we want in life?  We oftentimes set unobtainable goals, don't have enough information to achieve effectively, and ultimately, we don't know how much effort we have to put forth.  I take the time to break down why these steps are needed and with a little...

Surviving my last two weeks of sickness, I have returned to talk a bit about the plague, but also take the time to talk about dealing with our expectations.  Truth is, we all have had expectations in life and oftentimes for myself, I've found that I have not matched up to those ideals.  Am I failing in life or am I just taking a different path on my journey?  Let's take some time to...
