“I’m going to make your proud one day”- letter to myself

Adjective

feeling deep pleasure or satisfaction as a result of one’s own achievements, qualities, or possessions or those of someone with whom one is closely associated.

Somewhere along our journey, we began to believe the lie that success equals pride.  To be successful, we have to have a high paying job, amazing marriage, and flashy lifestyle. In our quest for success, we lose sight of ourselves and our identity.

We allow "culture" to dictate how we are supposed to act and look towards others for approval.

How much would our lives change if we put ourselves first?

Challenge yourself to break out of the box the world tries to tame you in and find out who you are!

You matter!

You are loved!

You are enough!

"Tell your story, change a life"

Sometimes the biggest enemy we face is ourselves. We can push ourselves to achieve monumental victories or crippling defeats. 

The challenge is learning to quiet the voice when it tries to spew negativity. 

How do you defeat an enemy that knows everything about you? You Train!

 You lace up your sneakers, tie up your hair, and get ready to sweat. Because the hardest hit is the one you don't see coming!

Tell your story, change a life and remember you matter!

Oh my goodness, we recorded a podcast. Honestly, I am still in shock of this process and forever grateful to Kayla for her willingness to be vulnerable and authentic. I hope this podcast encourages and motivates you as you go about your day and hopefully you were able to laugh a little. 

If you are suffering and in need of help please reach out to family, friends, peers, or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

Honestly, I cannot believe I actually went ahead and did this, but here we are! I am excitedly, nervous and I believe that is the best place to be. So, join me on this wild ride, called 'Life,' as I begin to have authentic and vulnerable conversations with others. 

Welcome to the You're Not Alone podcast!
