Your Day and Beyond

We all experience negative thoughts from time to time. It's a natural part of being human. However, when negative thinking becomes a constant pattern, it can significantly affect our mental well-being and overall quality of life. The good news is that breaking the cycle of negative thinking is possible. In this interview, my guest Jessica Stipanovic will share some of her most effective strategies...

Boundaries define acceptable behavior and protect your emotional well-being. Setting healthy boundaries is essential for cultivating healthy relationships, maintaining self-respect, and expressing or reclaiming your individuality as a woman. Today, my guest Katesha and I are going to discuss some strategies to help you set healthy boundaries for yourself and others.  

The traditional 9 - 5 work schedule has been the norm for decades.  However, many women are now seeking alternative ways of living that offer more freedom, flexibility, and control over their time.  Escaping the monotony of the 9 - 5 grind is entirely possible with careful planning and a proactive approach.

Long distance relationships have become increasingly common in today's interconnected world. Whether it's due to work, education, or personal circumstances, being away from your partner can present unique challenges. However, with the right mindset and strategy, long distance dating can also bring unexpected joys and strengthen your connection. In this interview, we will explore the different aspe...

Most women, myself included, just went along with what was expected of us, even if those expectations didn’t align with our desires.  But with the millennial generation there was a big shift and I think it was because we instilled a confidence in that generation of women that gave them the power to use their voice against outdated expectations and a patriarchal system that is oppressive to women....

Today, I have a very special guest joining me for a candid discussion about traumas that we’re not talking about and why we should be talking about it.  The impacts of trauma differs from person to person but the emotional damage can compel those impacted to stay silent.  Join the conversation with my guest  Jonett Mobley, Leadership Development Coach, Systemic Disruptor and founder of A Rooted So...

Breakups can trigger intense emotional responses. When the distress from a breakup becomes chronic and interferes with our ability to function normally in our daily life, it can be classified as a traumatic event. Today my guest Relationship Coach, Ishea Muhammad and I will be talking about how heartbreak impacts you and your life and how you can successfully heal from it. Join the conversation as...

Can love really last forever? The harder question is how to make it last.  If we focus on divorce statistics in the US, they would lead us to believe that love has an expiration date but I’m not buying into it.  What I will buy into is what those stats reveal and that’s the common reasons why couples get a divorce. I’ve done the analysis and narrowed it down to the 3 things I believe are essential...

So many of you want to create a more abundant life but nothing you’ve done has worked long term, that’s because you’re going about it the wrong way. You’re on the right path but you’re missing some essential steps and I’d like to help you have a more abundant life. Let's talk about how you can have a more abundant life by implementing these 3 daily practices.

Join the candid conversation that I have about the masks I've worn out of shame and the action steps I took to remove the masks and be my authentic self.  This poignant interview with guest host Britteny Petty is my most vulnerable conversation yet.

The standards of beauty, the standards of being a perfect mother and wife are incredibly damaging to our self-esteem and mental health.   All this pressure can make women feel like they're not good enough so they hide their true selves and present a flawless image to the world.  They wear a mask to conceal their true selves.

Each year, many people make resolutions to be or do better than they did last year. This year, I decided I need to level up in a major way. I’m ready to run into my destiny and baby steps are no longer going to work for me to get where I’m trying to go.

Trying to keep pace with the speed life is moving is why most of us are feeling overwhelmed and stressed out. Not taking the time we need to connect with our emotions, thoughts or the people in our lives can leave us feeling off balance and disconnected. Living on autopilot isn’t serving us, because it robs us of our ability to live in the moment.

It’s human nature to want more of a good thing. I mean why not, we all want to feel good and we like having experiences that make us feel good. But sometimes we can get ahead of ourselves and miss important opportunities. It just seems like there’s not enough time to do everything we want to do because our lives are so full of things we have to do.

If you can check off all the vanity boxes about your partner but can’t check off that many boxes for their character traits what does that tell you?

Being independent and strong  has somehow placed us in an unhealthy predicament of taking care of everything and everyone before we take care of ourselves. I know a lot of this has to do with societal expectations that have been placed on us but the majority of it is self inflicted. When a whole generation of women before us took on more responsibility outside the home, they somehow forgot to rele...

What I bring to the table is more valuable than 50% of the financial resources and material things he wants. When I woke up, I was no longer trying to be what a man wants and instead I became what he needed.

I didn’t want any part of the disappointments or  disagreements over disappointments that often comes with being in love with the wrong person. I just wanted the sweetest parts of being in love until I discovered that real love will even make the bitter parts taste sweet when you’re in love with the right person and you trust love to give you what you need.

There’s so much to be said for being equally yoked with the right man. My love journey hasn’t always been as sweet as it is now but it’s definitely been worth it. I rewrote my love story and I’m living the most beautiful life that I never imagined was possible for me. I believe every woman deserves a happy and healthy relationship and I’m here to support you in your journey to rewrite your love st...

When we’re happy, it’s easy to be our best selves and bring that energy into our relationships. Before, I didn’t believe I deserved to have a happy and healthy relationship. Every woman deserves to be happy in her relationship.

 It’s exhausting being strong for everyone in your life and taking on their burdens and pushing your desires, needs and wants to the back burner. I want to help you dismantle the faulty beliefs that support an unhealthy lifestyle of putting everyone else’s needs above your own and learn how to be your own rescuer.

Our past is our foundation and it’s what a lot of our beliefs are rooted in. But what if a lot of what we believe about ourselves is based on faulty information? How do you dismantle those beliefs that are ingrained in every fiber of your being?

During this time of year, it’s a good time to reflect back and learn from the lessons the previous year taught you.  By reflecting on what didn’t go well and why, it gives you important information about how you can be better in the next year.  Embracing your life lessons, learning from them and using what you learned to be a better you is how you create a path to New and Better Things in the year...

Dating today is way different than it was 25 -30 years ago.  It has evolved from courtship to casual dating.  30 years ago, the purpose of dating was to get married but today dating is more of a means to an end that doesn’t necessarily mean marriage. Nowadays people date for many reasons.. It may be for companionship,  casual sex or to find their soulmate. If you’re dating with the end goal of mar...

Navigating life comes with its own set of challenges but navigating necessary changes to be our best selves and reach our life goals can be an even bigger challenge. Sometimes it’s not clear what you should do or what’s keeping you stuck in a cycle that makes it difficult for you to change.  That’s why life coaching has become so popular and necessary for our mental well being.
