Entrepreneur Life While Mothering: 4 Tips
I dont know about you, but summer is really kicking my butt in both the motherhood and entrepreneur areas of my life. If someone would have told me that I would be doing it ALL at the exact same moment everyday, I would have laughed + probably rolled my eyes. Reality vs. Imagination Let’s be real the balancing act of motherhood + working has always been a game of chance. The gotcha is, or at least for me. This time last year I would have given away my favorite pair of yoga pants for this exact opportunity of being at home. So why is this so hard now? Well, reality…

Taking Care of You
I am a big believer in the idea that everything happens for a reason. That series of events are all connected in one way or another. Over the last few weeks we have been taking inventory. Making space for peace in so many different aspects of our lives. Cleansing internally and externally in our homes, creating space for more Joy, Hope, PEACE. If you have been following along with me on my journey, then you know that we have been preparing for this exact moment in time. We have been doing the work internally on ourselves in order to be equipped to keep our peace within. In light of the…

5 Side Hustles to Make Money
As long as I can remember I have had a job of some sort in some way. I was taught very early on that having several streams of income is the key to financial freedom. Right now, most of the US is feeling the pinch as the order of stay in most states have been extended. Now while there are quite a few jobs that have the ability to be done from home. There are several that do not and many of us are trying to figure out how to make extra income. In this post I will share 5 side hustles to make money during Covid. Having the ability…

Embrace Change in 7 Steps
There is nothing more permanent in life except change. This idea is presented to us every single day in so many ways. Change is inevitable. Big or small, change could really not give two F’s on the when and the where. Embracing change is where the real work takes place. The thing about change is everyone is dealing with it all the time. Each and every one of us is coping with change at various degrees in our own individual lives. Whats super unique about right now is although we have ALWAYS gone through change collectively on our own. It is in these last few days that we all understand…

How to Practice Body Positivity
Now a days there is so much talk about body positivity and loving the skin you are in… but how did we even get to this point? How did we come to the idea that we must be told to love our bodies? More importantly, how to practice body positivity once we know we need it? Remember when you were a kid and didn’t have a care in the world? No cares about how you looked, what you wore or that maybe your hair didn’t stay as flat as so and so’s (My hair to this day NEVER stays flat) A few weeks back I took my now DramaTeen (formerly…

Optin’ out of Resolutions
Gosh! It was like we had Thanksgiving and BAM! Snowball to the end of the year. Seems like just a few weeks ago we were ringing in 2019 and here we are again gearing up to welcome 2020 with open arms. This time last year I was creating vision boards, making goals and mapping out how I would conquer 2019. I took all the steps, made sure my goals were realistic, prepped myself for success through researching both on and off the net. I crossed my T’s and dotted my I’s, you couldn’t tell me I wasn’t about to handle 2019 like a true boss! What I didn’t account for…

10 Affirmations to Say Every Day for a happier well-being
Affirmations are much more than chants or short statements you repeat to yourself. A simple habit of speaking positivity and prosperity over yourself has the ability to boost your mood and begin to incorporate a healthier and happier overall mindset. I have provided 10 affirmations that you can say at any time during the day, I personally prefer to say my affirmations first thing in the morning to set the tone of my day. I was re-reminded about the power of affirmations a few years back when watching this show “Being MaryJane” ( show has since been cancelled). On this show the main character MJ, creates sticky notes with different…

Getting Grounded + Staying
In my forever pursuit of mindful living, I am always in search of ways to stay grounded and to keep my head in times of difficulties. Mindful living and being “grounded” basically go hand in hand like PB & J or mac n cheese, you truly can not have one without the other. But what does staying “grounded” really mean? In its simplest form being grounded is all about “Control”. Not control over all the outside stuff going on around us, like traffic, things not going as planned etc, but control over yourself, your emotions and the things you personally believe. To “stay grounded” means you have the ability to…

Comfort Zone: Pushing Out of it
This week I dared to push myself beyond what I thought was my limit. After a certain age I believe we all begin to develop an opinion of ourselves. We put ourselves in a category or label ourselves in a particular way. Normally these categories or labels justify how we personally see ourselves in this world. For as long as I can remember I have given myself this label or that label. I was the “smart girl”, ” the funny one”, ” the mom” and “the wife” and the list goes on and on. The one label that I had never given myself but always wanted was “the outgoing one”,…

Discovering You: Turning a Passion into a Career
Recently I had an opportunity to really “hang” out with my sister-in-love, and I say “hang” because for the very 1st time we were able to go off and just do what we wanted without the worry of kids + hubbingtons ect. While we were out we talked candidly about our futures and what we wanted next in our lives. Cuz honey, the planning doesn’t stop just because you are married and have children. Just like her I have been working since I was just 14 yrs old. Let that sink in, at this time in my life I have had a job of some sort for almost 21 years!…
