I've been thinking a lot lately about the way we are wired to *sometimes* prematurely cancel people in our lives when they aren't meeting the expectations we have for them. In this episode, I pose a more nuanced way of approaching those "sandpaper" people that has helped me navigate the complexity of adulting in community. Thanks for Listening!

Hey y'all! My baby girl heard that episode on affirmations and her reaction was "like hold up! tag me in" LOL..so I interviewed my absolute favorite guest on this week's episode. I speak life over her every night before she goes to bed and these are just a snippet of our usual routine. It's so important to cultivate the sense of empowerment in our babies *before* the world tries to convince them to shrink. 

Thanks for listening! What other affirmations would you add to this list? Send me a DM and I'll shout you out!

I know most of the time we explore life beyond our roles as Mommies, but I had to get this one off! Why did no one warn me about the trials and tribulations  of parenting far away from your familial community? Maybe I'm being a little exaggerative but this is really is a discussion that we should have before our 4 year olds start throwing blocks at our head on a 5 day break from school.....I'm just sayin'. Somebody send help & if you're a transplant parent, also send tips that can be added to what I shared in this episode, lol! Thanks for listening!

Virgos, our time is here! Happy Monday y'all! My birthday is this week so I shifted from our usual flow of things to chat it up with you about some things on my heart and mind as this new chapter loads. Don't ask me why I broke into gospel singing twice because I just told you it's my birthday & that means I do what I want!! Lol, in all semi-seriousness, I hope these reflections bless you as much as they did me. Happy Listening!

"Mind the business you WANT TO PAY YOU." Y'all...I had the pleasure of welcoming the one and only Nitina Francis of BurgundyGinger Events onto the podcast and she wasted NO time! I so deeply loved the way she described overcoming as a daily practice and encouraged us to scale back enough to honor what each day needs from us. (Spoiler alert to all the Mamas listening...it's usually something different every single day.) This episode is jam packed with gems and I can't wait until you hear it!

Calling all Generational Cycle Breakers, Shifters, and Changemakers! This one is for you. So often we think of disrupting negative cycles as going in the complete opposite direction of where we don't want to be, but sometimes shifting the pattern looks like being dealt similar cards and playing that hand differently. I'm so excited to dive into this with you today!
