Do you ever scrap an entire project if you make just one teeny-tiny mistake? Or how about making 'ish happen? Do you wait until you have the perfect amount of followers or the perfect equipment to make moves in your goal chase? Perfection is like Dr. Jekly and Mr. Hyde in the productivity world. On one hand, it makes you feel like you are being meticulous and holding yourself to a super high standard. But in reality, perfectionism is often rooted in deep fear and self-sabotage. In today's episode, we're exploring the difference between chasing excellence and chasing perfection. One journey allows room for mistakes and growth. While the other keeps you stuck in a cycle of fear. Check out today’s second episode in our versus series “Excellence -Vs-Perfection”

But if we were to put survival mode on pause for just a hot second, and focus on thriving, what does that look like for you? What do you need right now at this very moment to feel better, think clearer, and to start putting the pieces back together again?

More rest?
More two-sided friendships?
More stillness?
More laughs?
More boundaries?

Today is the beginning of a new month (Hey July! Hey!) and what better way to kick off a new season than spending some time figuring out what you want/ need more of in your life?

Do you ever stress yourself out because you feel like in order to be successful you have to "show up consistently" and post on social media ten times a day, write five blog posts, and do fifty eleven podcast interviews? What if I told you that frequency and consistency are two entirely different things? That showing up consistently doesn't necessarily mean burning yourself out and creating more content. Consistency is more about the quality of your work. It's you making the commitment to not half-ass anything, to do your best, and make a positive impact on your audience.   In today's episode, we're unveiling the truth behind consistency so you can stop focusing so much on quantity, get realigned with the quality of your work, and stop the burnout cycle.

I used to roll my eyes hard at folks that swore by mediation. I felt like it was a little too woo-woo and that people were being way too deep. That is until I started practicing it myself. When COVID hit my anxiety was on ten so I started searching for ways to help me stay grounded. My girl L'Oreal Payton Thompson invited me to join her on a 30-day meditation challenge in honor of May being Mental Health Month. And baby developing the habit of meditating is exactly what I needed. In today's #QuickTip I'm making mediation simple and sharing my favorite apps and teachers that have helped me stay sane these past few months.

My phone is always in my hands. First thing in the morning, as I work, when I work out, and when I’m falling asleep,  I am super glued to my phone. And as you can imagine living like that is a total gift and a curse.  

On one hand I get to stay connected with my family that's back in Detroit thanks to FaceTime. I've been blessed to meet so many incredible people, create a business, and share my voice with the world because of technology. But baby that curse? It's a CURSE! 

My chronic phone, tv, computer, iPad usage is wearing your girl out. I'm always tired, always cranky, always comparing myself to others. I'm distracted and always feel like I'm running on empty.  Why? Well because chronic screen time use causes anxiety, depression, disturbances in concentration, and even sleeping.  

And guess what? I am OVER IT!  

I am over letting my phone control my life. So what did I do? I dug down deep and figured out why I was so attached to my phone. And guess what, it had a lot to do with avoiding the work that can get me closer to my dreams. Can you say #SelfSabotage? And then I created some digital boundaries for myself.

I haven't completely kicked my phone addiction to the curb but I am more intentional about how I use it and for how long. If you're tired of letting your phone dictate your moves and moods then it might be time to create some healthy digital habits + boundaries in your internet life. Check out this week's episode to learn how!

“Am I doing enough?”

“Why aren’t I further along?”

“Shouldn't I have accomplished more by now?”

 “It's no big deal I only got 4 sales.”

Enough. More. Only. Further along. These are the words and phrases that get us #GoalGetters into a lot of trouble. It just happened to me last week. I was gearing up to celebrate No Real Jewelry's fifth anniversary when my inner critic came in like a damn wrecking ball and had me questioning EVERYTHING. (NRJ is my lifestyle blog btw if you’re new here.)

Homegirl had me sitting there wondering whether or not I had done enough in my business and life these past 5 years. Mind you, I pretty much accomplished everything that I had set out to achieve, and more but my inner critic just wouldn't let up. 

She had me comparing myself to the bloggers + girl bosses that rake in millions of dollars, get millions of views, and have a million followers. I knew it was completely unfair of me to compare my journey to theirs but I did and I went down the whole-- I haven't done enough spiral.  

After sulking and feeling sorry for myself for a couple of hours I had an aha moment. What does "enough" or "more" really mean for me? If I stop looking at what everybody else is doing haven't I done enough for me?  

And so I started to think back and I realized that in five years I made my wildest dreams come true which means I've done more than enough!  

And that my dear is when my pity party turned back into a celebration. You see when I stopped looking at other people's journeys as the standard or enough measuring stick, I realized that I am exactly where I need to be. If your inner critic has been throwing around the— enoughs, onlys and futher alongs— your way then today's episode is for you!

Have you stumbled upon something that's kinda piqued your interest lately? Maybe you've been flirting around with the idea of learning a new language or taking a sexy Zoom dance class.  But you stopped yourself from taking the plunge because you thought; "Nah, I probably won't be good at it." You see us #GoalGetters don't play that “I’m not really all that great at that” game.  

But what if I told you that there is incredible freedom in being bad and you’re missing out on it? No seriously hear me out. Have you been at a party and your auntie with no rhythm is in the corner dancing her heart away? She doesn’t care who’s judging her, if she's on beat or if she knows the latest Tik Tok Dance. She's in bliss baby even though she's bad to the bone. And when you look around everyone is starting to circle around her shouting; "Go head! Go, Auntie! Go Head! Go, Auntie!" Because no matter how bad Auntie is at twerking she's in her zone having so much fun and full peace!

In today's episode, I'm challenging you to do something that's completely counter-intuitive to the #GoalGetter movement-- I'm asking you to allow yourself to be good at being bad. Because just like auntie you deserve to do things that are fun and give you joy, whether you're good at it or not.
