Getting Life Results

My life was taking me in a direction that I did not sign up for. The business deal my husband and I had been working on fell through. My car needed major work done, and everything that could break down or malfunction did. And if that wasn’t enough, I was dealing with me. I was in a very uncomfortable pl...

I had a conversation with my doctor, and I was giving her my spill on how much I had sacrificed to be a good mother to my kids. She too had challenges while pursuing her career as a doctor being a mother, but she didn’t consider herself making sacrifices. Instead, she said she made choices. Those words have stuck with me ever since. She chose to t...

Change has never been as profound as it has been since the world abruptly stopped. In this season, we are all experiencing things we’ve never imagined in our lifetime. Smiles are hidden by masks.  Warm greetings are replaced by cautious and apprehensive head nods.  The silence of small talk in the grocery store on the bread isle is so...

The way we speak to ourselves can be the determining factor in whether we are victorious or we are defeated. Growing up my grandmother used to always tell me life and death were in my tongue. I really didn’t realize the power in that saying until I became an adult and experienced life.

Words are powerful and if you don’t realize how...

With all the challenges we have faced since this quarantine, the one thing that is really been trying is teleworking and homeschooling. The teleworking is not the problem. I actually enjoy working from home. It is the integration of them. It is the task of trying to work with two kids const...

During this “stay-at-home” order, many couples have been forced to spend more time with their spouse or significant other. For some, this time together has been a great experience, but for others, it’s been a nightmare.

My husband and I have seen more of each of other in the past couple of weeks than we have in our 9 years of marriage. It’s defini...

I have to confess. This week has been challenging for me. I had my first guest on the show, and I intended to share that episode this week. But, I’ve struggled with getting the episode ready for publication. So that I didn’t leave you hanging, I decided to do a recap of my very first episode, EP 1 – Why Aren’t You Moving Forward, during the launch of the podcast back on Christmas Eve day ...

It’s been a very interesting couple of weeks and a big adjustment for my family. However, it hasn’t been too bad.  Being confined to my home with my husband and kids reminds me of when I was growing up as a kid.  

My family and I spent a lot of time together.  I grew up in a rural town called Beauregard in Lee Co...

“Like a double-minded man, fear can be unreliable and dishonest.” The coronavirus crisis is a whole mess y’all.  It has caused such a disruption in our daily lives.  Tissue and bread are a scarcity.  I mean entire shelves of food and toiletries in supermarkets are empty and remain empty for days.

“You are afraid to be great.” As a coach, I’ve worked with so many people who struggle with being comfortable with themselves.

“You experience feelings and pain, you’ve never imagined when someone or something is taken away from you, but when you grieve the healthy way, you are able to find new meaning, and eventually move on with your life.” The death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and the other seven passengers aboard the helicopter that crashed [...]

“Don’t allow your past to dictate how you live your present and what you expect in your future.“ It’s a new year and everyone is excited and anticipating the great times and manifestations this decade will bring.
