I post a recently from a beautiful Caribbean woman and she said that your business will never be a business if you refer to it as a side hustle. Her post made a lot of sense to me, and it made me think about how that form of thinking shows up in other areas of our life. So, in this episode, I’m diving into the common areas where this type of thinki…

I hope we all took some time over the first holiday break of the season to take care of ourselves and spend time with people we care about. I also hope we took time to acknowledge what it is that we’re thankful for about ourselves. It’s that idea that I want to dive deeper into today. In this episode, I share how this topic was inspired by the most…

There’s plenty for us to talk about today, but there’s one thing in particular I think we should be paying attention to; especially as we roll into the holiday season. That thing is our need for other people to understand us. In this episode, I share what recent event sparked this topic idea, why it’s not your mission to make sure the people around…
