  • Thoughts on Women Having It All… No Thanks, You Can Keep It!
    The idea of women “having it all”, newly reframed as “balance” is nothing new but a recent interview my friend sent me of Gabrielle Union on vehemently rejecting this lie, this myth, this toxic notion had me like YASSSSS! In today’s episode, let’s talk about why this myth still exists and how we as women can stop it and reframe what “all” looks like/ means for us, individually.

  • Thoughts on External Self-Awareness - Am I Choosing to be a Blessing to Others?
    In last week’s episode we discussed internal self-awareness. Because none of us exists in a vacuum, we need to be mindful of the ripple effects our behavior has on others which begs the question in the title - am I choosing to be a blessing for others? Today we’re talking external self-awareness which boils down to being aware of the impact our words, actions, and energy is felt by others. Understanding this essentially comes down to mindfulness - being present in the moment and possessing a certain amount of internal self-awareness.

  • Thoughts on Rushing Back to "Normal" vs Embracing our New Normal

    I've talked about this before in a previous podcast, probably about a year ago at this point, this idea of "returning to normal". Normal wasn't working and I genuinely think the desire to run back to broken systems, burnout, unhealthy behaviors, stressful situations, and toxic environments is a missed opportunity to reflect and act upon everything we learned during this panini and ensuing quarantine that has changed everything. It's a sign that the devil we know is better than the we don't however how can we know better, or that it will even be a devil, if we don't give it a try? We reacted and were forced to put new systems in place but should we be quick to throw those solutions that arose from the quarantine out just because we want to go back to things as they were before? No, I don't think so. Let's talk about it and continue to interrogate why we are so wanting to run back to certain things.

  • Thoughts on Being Grateful for What We Have Now

    Remember the days we hoped, prayed, manifested, and wished for what we have now? How quickly we forget about those days. In a society that puts so much energy and attention toward constant consumption and materialism, it is so important for us to be mindful to practice gratitude every single day and appreciation what we have here and now. Tomorrow is not promised or guaranteed yet in the pursuit of happiness, we forget this and forget to live in the present. We think that if we *just* have this one thing, if we just lose xyz pounds, or whatever else we're coveting, that everything will all of a sudden be better and we'll be happier. True happiness is appreciating what you have in the moment, no matter how big or small. Let's talk about!

  • Wellthy Wednesday - Making Time for You Meditation
    We spend so much of our day prioritizing others, moving from task to task, and checking off items on our to-do list. What sometimes gets lost in this shuffle is making time to take care of ourselves. For our 8 meditation today, I offer you this practice as a moment to prioritize your own self-care and make time for you.

  • Thoughts on my From Scarcity to Abundance Workshop: Diversity & Inclusion in the Fitness Industry
    Took a little break but I’m back and excited to share the launch of my workshop - thoughts on my From Scarcity to Abundance Workshop: Diversity & Inclusion in the Fitness Industry. This workshop is scheduled for April 14, 2021 at 6 PM EST via Zoom & you can purchase tickets via the link in my Instagram bio. This was months in the making, truly a labor of love born out of a desire to create and improve health, wellness, and fitness spaces that are diverse, equitable, inclusive, and representative of BIPOC. In the podcast today, I talk about how I infuse mindfulness practices and mindset into this training to confront discrimination, racism, prejudice, inequality, lack of opportunity, and other ills born out of scarcity within our society that bleed into the fitness and wellness industry.
