Bring it to the Marley episodes

  • Navigating No!

    Today on Bring it to the Marley, I talk about the cluster of No's you are met with after hearing yes for so many years, and what to do with them. 

    " Know that No! is not the worst thing you will hear. No! means Not Now! No, means Something Better. Just work to be patient. Work to be Still and at Peace and continue to Dream, continue to go after  all that you want, Fiercely.  Take Back Your Power!"

  • In the Absence of a Dream!

    Today on Bring it to the Marley, I talk about the importance of dreaming and how anything thought of is in the realm of possibility. 

    " It’s not enough that we worry about each day and stress about what we don't have. If you have breath left in you, I say dream, imagine and hope . To dream is to gift yourself the possibility of a better life."

  • Surviving a Bully!

    Today on Bring it to the Marley, I tackle bullies and how working to love yourself fully keeps your own inner bully at bay.

    " A bully can show up in many different forms. They can be dressed as your classmate, a friend, a coworker, a rival, a parent, even a mentor. "

  • The Loneliness of Success

    Today on Bring it to the Marley, I talk about loneliness and how it comes in waves when you're working towards your dreams.

    "As you work towards your goals, you’d better get comfortable with who you are. You'll need to get good with you. You’ll need to learn how to be in your own company and be your own best friend."

  • Joy is a Choice!

    Today on Bring it to the Marley, I talk about choosing happiness. You have choices to make about how you want to live your life.

     "What a betrayal of self when you allow others voices, and noise, and actions to take away that which you hold dear and love."

  • When one door closes!

    Today on Bring it to the Marley, I'm sharing my thoughts and feelings on navigating the awkward space between two doors. Fearful as it may be, in order to receive what's for us behind the next door, we have to find it in ourselves to close one door first.

     "When one door of happiness closes another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see that which has opened for us."

  • Born Focused

    Today on Bring it to the Marley, I have questions.. and thoughts...  I'm asking why we glorify tragedy and rags-to-riches stories.  Thinking about why we devalue hard work built on opportunity and FOCUS. From as early as I can remember, I have been focused on my dreams and goals and everything else came second. Mine is a story, I believe, should be told.
     
     "If it doesn’t serve me and my dream, I don’t do it. If it doesn’t get me closer to my goal, I don’t do it.  Live your life in full focus.
