  • Make Time for Kindness

    In this episode I share a little about why I think being kind to people is important. Know this, people will NOT always be kind to you. Nevertheless, that should not dictate your actions because your actions are definitely a reflection of you.

    In this episode I share a few points to keep in mind.

    What's the importance of kindness?

    The 2-Second Rule

    Compassion Attracts Kindness

    Remember: Compassion/Sympathy, Mercy, Empathy

  • Keep That Same Energy

    In todays's episode I talk about how to remain positive in an environment that may not be the most helpful. It's still up to you to choose to consistently be positive, regardless of what your environment is conducive to.


    1. Decide-what matters to you? What do you value? What is important to YOU?
    2. Accept/Reject
    3. If you accept something into your space/give it your energy, make sure that it raises you up instead of bringing you down. If you reject something, then do so unapologetically. Replace that rejection with a more positive experience that you can afford.
    4. Remember the positivity factor! Do your part, as long as it depends on you!
    5. Make good decisions consistently so that they become habits!

  • Pick Your People

    I think that something I have always struggled with has been choosing who to surround myself with. I've learned a lot over the years and although I will be the first to admit it, I have yet to master it. I believe it's a constantly evolving process, that changes as our preferences change.


    So in this episode, I discuss the difference between relationships with friends and family. I share my Personal Bill of Rights (... to relationships/of an individual) and I speak a little bit about the importance of healthy decision making. I also share a few guiding questions that help me when I navigate relationships.


    When picking your people, decide upfront what you will and will not deal with. (Friendships, romantic relationships, and even with family members.

    Remember that you constantly make the CHOICE to grant or deny someone access into your life/space.

    How do you define friendship? What are your expectations for your friends, are they unspoken?

    Make your decisions from a healthy place! People have feelings, experiences, and perspectives that shape them.


    (Bill of) Rights of Relationships/Individuals

    People are allowed to

    1. Grow or remain stagnant
    2. Accept or Deny Behaviors/Apologies (and are not required to give you an apology)
    3. Change their mind and feel differently
    4. Do what they want when they want, & without an explanation.
    5. Have friends/life outside of a friendship
