Who knew Pastors could be such great dancers? Kris, is someone I could have never expected to meet in my weekly Dance Jam class at Lifetime but, when I first saw how full of joy and love he was, I witnessed it pour out of him and on to others. He is someone who makes people feel welcomed, cared for , and heard. I knew right away when we first spoke about the community, he and his wife have built, that I had to have him on the podcast. This message hit so right and relates to so much to things I'm currently learning in my own journey and I could not be more thrilled to share this with you all. If you have ever struggled with the idea or feeling of what Faith means to you, then this episode will be something you want to hear! 

Joy and happiness have become a priority and no one else but myself is responsible for creating that in my life. Everyday is a new opportunity to find new joy but, first fear must be over-thrown. Limiting beliefs and fearful what ifs, keep us stagnant and if growth is what you are looking for running past the fear is a start. I recently noticed I was afraid of making connections because I don't plan on staying in Memphis for much longer. This to me was a big WTF moment I had, how can I, someone who thrives off of connection and wants to quite literally create a life making impactful change with people all over the world, not want to connect? Crazy, right ? 

I love you all so much fellow humans and could not be more thankful that you are here joining me on this journey. I hope everyone is ready for what's to come because this is only the beginning.  

You ever wonder who "they" are ? ... Just curious I've been told almost everyday of my life that "they" have some rather distinct opinions of how I should live my life. These people we give power to have no idea what is actually happening in our life, they don't know our perspective, our why so then why do we care so much about their opinion? I will always say choice is the most powerful tool. Owning up to the fact that someone can only offend us if we let them and if they do upset you, what was the limiting belief you are carrying around? Keep this in mind, if you know every day that you are doing the best you can ... and "they" are doing their best, then what do we have to stress over ?  I love all of your sweet faces and hope this episode finds you well. Like I said I will be posting product photos and links soon !! SO excited to start this new part of our journey !!

To have a dream or idea is beautiful but, recently I feel as though I've been living in a fantasy world. My real life is something I am running away from, there are some things you just can't ignore and this feels like one of them. In the last year I had so many changes and became a entirely new person at least in my eyes because my relationship with myself has changed drastically. I know my normal content may be a little more optimistic and cheerful but this is where life has me right now so I''m sitting in it. "Be where your feet are" - Jason Mraz. Life is beautifully complicated. We are all just trying to make since of it and in doing so, I decided I needed to talk about where I am mentally. I do this to remind anyone and everyone who may feel the same way, that they are not alone. I love you all so much Fellow Humans. Happy New Year !!!

"I allow life to be easy" - This has been turning through my mind more than ever recently!! The Holidays are upon us and are strengths will be tested. Wether it's traveling with family you don't see often, keeping weight off when there is so much food to be tried, or working the most stressful time of the year. We all have added stresses around this time of year ( not to mention, in the coldest time of year when we are supposed to be resting ). I don't know about you but, I'd love for things to be a little bit easier. In this episode, I speak on how boredom helps my progress and how simply allowing life to be easy, is possible. Try next time saying to the things you "have to do" . "I get to do this today". There is light and dark in everything we do and everywhere we go. If you can see the dark, why not try choosing the light? I love you all and I will definitely have my listeners in my thoughts when I think of all I'm thankful for this year. 

Have you ever broken a bone ? If you have, you are well aware that you can't walk or run until the bone is healed... That bone just suffered a blunt force trauma. So why is it, that we are less likely to let our mental state heal from a trauma or loss? We keep showing up for work, keep doing the same routines as if nothing is wrong, as if nothing has changed. Change is scary, but to grow and heal ... changes must occur. If you stay in the same space for ten plus years it becomes comfortable. It's almost as if you could predict tomorrow because, it has been so similar for so long. Now, I'm not saying you can't stay somewhere for long and grow. This is possible but, it takes acceptance of trusting the process and finding joy in everyday. If you have had any big life changes recently I want you to know it will be ok, just keep faith and remember, "it is all, as it should be". I love you all so much !!! 

Speak Soon <3

Three easy steps. Three small changes. Three small actions. That will change everything... I know that sounds like a lot to promise but, the proof is in the pudding for my experience. This journey of self growth I've been on recently has been so beautiful and I can't , not share it with the ones I love most. Three ways to set intention and create space to love and take care of yourself everyday just soon like key ingredients to me. 

1. Moment

2. Movement

3. Meditation ( or if you haven't practiced meditation yet, intention setting will get the ball rolling)

When we start to create more space for the present moment we began realize we are in the drivers seat of our own life. Though there is so much in this world we can not control... how we react and choose to feel are things we can control. You've got to start somewhere at sometime. So why not try now ? With this practice! I love you all so much and appreciate you more than you could ever imagine. Try this for at least a week and tell me how it goes!! I'll be waiting. 

These two sayings are gold to me. They remind me to focus on the positive "what ifs", whenever we give up the money we want to save for a furniture dream in order to temporarily relive the stress of the day or we let the negative "what ifs" kill our inspiring ideas. We have the CHOICE !!! Everyday we can either let experiences build us or tear us down and though we don't have control over much... this CHOICE allows us to at least grab the steering wheel. I love you all so much and hope todays episode speaks to you in someway or fashion. This life is so beautiful and it would be a shame to let it pass us by. Grab that steering wheel and make the CHOICE to live life to its fullest!!

I know I'm not the only one who has struggled with perfection killing my progress. In this episode I tell my two top secrets to how I get sh#t done!! These tips may see a little on the strange side but, trust me when I say they have made a world of difference. We are all so talented and have beautiful perspectives. By not sharing these gifts with the world we loose opportunities at what we all cherish so much deep down... connection. The longer we let something pass us by the harder it feels to reach, when in reality as soon as we try, it shows that it was never as hard as we thought it to be. I love you all so much fellow humans and remember we are all doing our best!
