Girl, Stop saying 'I'm sorry'.

In 2025 we are going to stop fucking apologizing and this isn't the way that Ms. Hollis described it many years ago but we're going to do it in a way that is full of tough love in the best way possible. I want you to know that it never gets easier and you're never going to have it all figured out BUT if you continually fill yourself full of doubt instead of divine confidence, the world in which you live in, will never change.

Please x infinity, stop making yourself small- for the person you are and the things that you do. You're not hurting OR helping anyone, especially yourself.

Today's large take away is that you're never going to achieve the goals and dreams that you're liking of when your mind wonders and try to put into action if you keep apologizing.

Trust me when I tell you, it won't always be this hard to self-analyze, it's kind of like cleaning out your mental closet. So let's purge Pam (the self-doubt bitch peep episode 98) from your brain and see how clear you feel and can then start anew as often or regularly as you need too, K babes?

You've got this, we've got this- let's go!

OMG I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS THE FIRST EPISODE FOR 2025!

We're bringing some MCE to your life this year babes! Do you have it? How do you Embrace it? How do you enhance it in others???

Let's find out some quick tips from this great article from Greenlight!

This is your permission slip to stay in the pool of grief with an arm out of the water so someone can help pull you out. Yesterday, our plott hound of 13 years passed away on the arm of my husband, covered in a blanket from my parents (thank you Momma & Poppa Rose for letting me steal that comforter years ago, it was his favorite), in his sleep. That boy was the best and for now, that’s all I have for you.

Except one more thing I learned from that guy but didn’t share in the episode: stay inquisitive just like Banner Thomas Dukes. Thank you for giving me the best love I didn’t know I needed.

Rest easy sweet Bannerman

honestly, the time together is great, but the time apart living in your individuality reigns supreme. of course, not all the time, but at least enough time so that you feel centered, challenged and cherished. for yourself, in order to make yourself the best presence for others and remain grateful in those relationships: the ones you've always had, the ones you're nurturing and those you've left behind. Challenge yourself this week darlin, its one of the greatest ways to remain grateful for your time here. I am here to help you understand that loving yourself first, leaves space for you to let all those who didn't love you before, step in and do the best work because you understand how cherished all time together and relationships from here on out- can improve your daily dose of filling your love cup.

yourself on little dates and get

comfortable doing things in

your own company

2. Prioritizing your health - you love

yourself more when you water

your own plants

feel so much more sure of

Founded in 2022, Christi Wells founded what we now know and love as @AlltheSmallThingsTx, a home assistance company that does the shit that you don’t want too. Many of her clients adore her so much that they have become a part of the family at this point and she is excited for the grow of her company (coming to Houston soon) and I am so excited have had the chance to sit down and chat with her recently.

While we talk a bit about the business side of things, you really get to know where she’s rooted unbelief and the constant reminder from her mother to be a grateful and gracious tumbleweed!

Y’all, I cannot wait for you to hear the full episode and I am so excited that this platform has given me the outlet to meet some rad babes like Christi! So here’s to mimosas, marking things off the proverbial tada list and getting shit done together!

some fun snippets (hi, new feature here at TheBabeAFPod):

You better stay tuned until the end for our Rapid Fire Q&A!
