We’ll talk about:

💥 Why encouragement fuels confidence and rewires your brain

💥 How women have been conditioned not to hype each other up (and how to fix it)

💥 The difference between flattery + true encouragement

💥 Simp...

What happens when you try something new?!


Whether it’s a new class, attending an event or really just getting outside- When you try something new, a lot of things happen—both externally and internally. Here’s a breakdown:

Edit: this is episode 197 not 200 😝😜


Today’s episode is a celebration of the divine gift of sisterhood.


Inspired by the touching poem “Keep Your Girlfriends” from achristianhome.org, we’re diving into the sacred bond between women who hold each other up through every season. From whispered prayers to belly laughs, girlfriends are God’s way of saying “You don’t have to walk this life alone.”


Tune in as we unpack the beauty of friend...

Affirming the week ahead could be crucial to how your week can play out or a pivoted opportunity for yourself at each and any moment.


Thank you to @lawofattractionlive and @chakrahealingvibes on socials for the inspiration. Something you may need to remind yourself about inspirational posts and pieces you implement in your real life: they are negotiable and maneuverable to fit into your life and how you’d like to navigate it.

Girl, Stop saying 'I'm sorry'.

In 2025 we are going to stop fucking apologizing and this isn't the way that Ms. Hollis described it many years ago but we're going to do it in a way that is full of tough love in the best way possible.

This is your permission slip to stay in the pool of grief with an arm out of the water so someone can help pull you out. Yesterday, our plott hound of 13 years passed away on the arm of my husband, covered in a blanket from my parents (thank you Momma & Poppa Rose for letting me steal that comforter years ago, it was his favorite), in his sleep. That boy was the best and for now, that’s all I have for you.


Except one more thing ...

honestly, the time together is great, but the time apart living in your individuality reigns supreme. of course, not all the time, but at least enough time so that you feel centered, challenged and cherished. for yourself, in order to make yourself the best presence for others and remain grateful in those relationships: the ones you've always had, the ones you're nurturing and those you've left behind. Challenge yourself this week ...

If you can, make the choice- whatever that looks like for you and learn that even though change c...

We remember reciting in grade school, right: sentences, proposition songs, rhymes we knew all the words when singing?! Well we often forget how great that can be for memory. To remind ourselves that we are worthy, worth it and deserving of the things that make us happier, better and all around mentally healthy. So today, I made you a list- to recite, to remember and to say daily until your words become belief. I love you & we are i...

The title starts with you. The belief that you can unfuck yourself from the shit clouding your brain, it starts with your understanding that it’s all in your control. Do you take the first step? Yes. Do you analyze all 474647492 steps to success? Hell no. Do you know that it won’t work if you never try? Absolutely. Well babes, it’s time to get to work and we’re doing it together so let’s fucking go!
