A little joy can go a long way. Joy. Something I truly haven’t felt in months. If I’m being honest, I lost joy back in January. It’s as if my body and mind knew that tough times were on the horizon for me and my family. March came and so did the horrifying news that my mom’s cancer had spread. …
Today is another day without energy or motivation. Maybe you’re tired of hearing this from my blogs, I’m tired of feeling this way. My husband and I recently took our delayed honeymoon. Like many people during COVID, our plans have pivoted and changed. During our trip to Arizona, we decided to enjoy a WNBA game. During the game, I began …
You are capable of more than you know. Believe in yourself. A few weeks back, I had to record a presentation for a virtual summit. The day that I had to record was a rough one emotionally, I was not feeling up to speak, I had a rough night the night before grieving my mom. I went through the motions …
It’s okay if you don’t have the same energy around the things you used to. This is a message I keep trying to remind myself.

Some exciting news is coming your way! I’ve been keeping this a secret for a while now, but so excited to share that my husband and I are expecting our first child! It’s been such an emotional whirlwind managing the joy of a baby and the grief of losing my mom. I find comfort in the fact that my mom …
There will always be work to do. Take care of you first. This weekend I decided to dedicate time to myself for self-care. 2021 has been incredibly tiring and has truly been an emotional rollercoaster. The effects of it all have been catching up to me and I’m feeling the exhaustion from it all. We just bought a new home, …
Keep checking in on those around you. You never know who needs it. We are so good about it in the beginning, when someone experiences a loss, a trauma, or a breakup, we are so good in the beginning about checking in, seeing how that person is doing. In time though, we stop. We stop asking how people are. We …
