Juggling multiple pursuits, and feeling as though I was struggling to fit into my "I-can-do-it-all" persona, I recently had a hard realization that I was experiencing burn out. I took a much needed vacation where I completely unplugged and with clear mind, had the opportunity for self-reflection, rest, and complete peace. I asked myself hard questions, and was joined (virtually) by a few close friends where we talked through and identified what we need to function at our very best (in the midst of juggling multiple pursuits...well). Join me for this thought-filled, and reflective episode unpacking the very essence of rest, burn out, and thriving in the midst of it all.

Hi friends! I'm so excited to share this intimate conversation I had with 3 of my closest friends, on friendship. In this episode we share our hearts on what it means to be a good friend; demanding genuine friendships from those around us; and cultivating consistent honesty even and especially when it feels uncomfortable. So, grab a drink and sit with us xoxo

Guests: Chinelo (@c.chinelo.e), Winnie (@winnthemovement), & Nkiru (@shehermegreat).

Checking in! I finally gave myself a moment of down time, so naturally, I'm spending it with you. Checking in, and sharing valuable lessons I'm learning so far this year (based on my personal experiences). Grab a drink, join me for a personal reflection conversation, and take what you need from it.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend, Seyi, and get to the heart of envy and comparison....and how these enemies of the heart often work against our process.

Likely something we've all experienced, Seyi and I get into what envy and comparison may look like in relationships, career, and even finances. We share our real struggles, lessons, and thoughts on addressing these heart enemies in friendships (while preserving the relationship), how to release the idea that we are deserving of the next blessing, and how to truly sit in a place of celebration when other around us are thriving in excellence.

With the current state of affairs with COVID-19, a lot of use are newly navigating work from home and discovering what we can do with our time indoors. In this soundbite, I'm sharing 6 tips that have worked for me in creating structure in my day.
