Random moment topic: Accept the unplan and be consistent in your life. Life is like red light, green light, and yellow light. Red light mean to stop and reflect and focus on yourself. Green light means your hard work and opportunities are present to you. Everything you pray for and manifest is right there for you to embrace and go for it. Yellow light means to slow down, don't be in a rush, and allow everything to fall in to place. Remember God's timing is the best timing. #NoRegretsJustLifeLessons

The reality of figuring out a balance of living your life and grieving of love one is truly an ongoing process. I go over the 5 stages of grief, which are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I express my experience of this through the death of my loving, cousin Erricka Barbosa. While recording this episode, I realized what I needed to do to keep myself going. Which is to be consistent, surround myself with people who are supportive and that can keep me accountable, and lastly show myself compassion. #NoRegretsJustLifeLessons

Be aware of your emotions and feeling can help you make healthy choices for your life. I always say it ok to feel the way you feel and acknowledge your emotions. But it's not ok to stay that way or use it to make up excuses for your life. Part of the process is being honest with yourself and being true to yourself, so you can live in truth. #NoRegretsJustLifeLessons

Self-care should not cause you worry, stress, or anxiety. Self-care doesn't meaning you need to spend money to do something for yourself. It ok to stay in your lane, which means live within your means and do what works best for you. #NoRegretsJustLifeLessons

Be your own self advocate is a very important because it is you using your voice to stand up for yourself in any type of situation. However, I will be talking about being your own self advocate in the medical field. Make sure you have a clear understand of what going on, know your rights, and ask questions. Don't allow other to make a decision for you, but you make the decision. Never make a decision out fear, pressure, or confusion. Take the time for your self and process everything before you decide on what best for you and your body. #NoRegretsJustLifeLesson
