I am pretty sure I have shared this story before, but just in case you don’t remember, or haven’t read it, Imma gonna tell it again! 😉 When I was a young mother, I took my 18-month-old daughter on a plane ride with me to visit my sister across the country. We were sitting in …
You ever tell yourself-“I should…..” or “I shouldn’t…..” We all should all over ourselves all the time. But when was the last time you found either one of those statements motivating? Empowering? When was the last time you said one of these statements and then jumped into action to do whatever you “should” or “shouldn’t” …
I think one of the greatest tragedies of life is not learning to see how we sabotage ourselves. Here’s what I mean: Our thoughts are incredibly powerful.

At the time, these were two of my core workouts. I utilized running as my self-described therapy and “me” time. I felt like that was …
I have been thinking a lot about different kinds of strength… There’s mental strength… Emotional strength… Physical strength… Spiritual strength… And I’m sure more than that. We all have different levels of strength. Some people are able to physically do more than others… Some people have different capacities for the mental or emotional strains of …
