Boy, it’s been a long time since I’ve reached out to encourage you. Truth is, I’ve been fighting all the demons I was hoping to help you with…

This past year ranks the hardest in my world of entrepreneurship, parenthood, wife and individual.

In the last year, my mind began to drift into the darkness I had once overcome. Those stories I had debunked had resurfaced and I just wasn’t able to see my truth and find real happiness.

I can’t be the only one asking… Why do we do this? Where does this start? How do we continue to overcome and is it okay to start over?

We spend too much time worrying about others and their perceptions, which are most always wrong. Then, we tell stories to ourselves and place huge value on those lies. We forget how to love ourselves and be our biggest fan!

Here, let me prove it… (sadly)

Recently I was requested to put together a bit of social media for a friend and that friend insisted on paying me. She is just as capable and probably even better at it, yet she continues to encourage me all while I argue my ability and worth to myself. Even to the point of looking up how to refund money in PayPal. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Reality is she is my biggest fan and I am the only person standing in my way!

This isn’t something that changes overnight, yet with practice and self love, we can change our narrative. And yes, we can always start over.

Stop putting yourselves last and start telling the truth! You are special because you are you!!!

I want to share with you someone I met recently. We’ve known each other for our entire lives but had lost touch.

I was a bit intimidated at first to express the level of admiration I had for her, yet it’s important to see all the value she has to offer.

I continued to allow her to reintroduce herself. Reconnecting, I discovered how resilient and creative she had become.

She told me about her determination to create a place that resonates with people and welcomes everyone. Yearning for a place of acceptance myself, I loved that part of her journey.

She had survived life’s hardships and was willing to tell me how lonely it could be. She still found strength in her ability to overcome.

She was small in stature, but her demeanor was bold. When she spoke, she radiated with confidence. She did not stand out in mere appearance. If you didn’t know her story, you might have missed her beauty.

I am happy to have her back in my life.

Her name…

Remember you are important! While you doubt your abilities, someone else is admiring them!

Love yourself first! Never let anyone steal your shine!

I spent some time with a friend last night and it became apparent that some things need to change.

We promote the phrase “Women Supporting Women”, but are we truly doing it? Or do we only get behind women when they are successful?

This friend of mine said, “it’s like we always have to be good.” It shook my soul.

Friends, we don’t have to always be good or driven or even successful. It’s when we’re in a moment of doubt, others see it, and then lift us up… that makes us uniquely women! That is supporting women!

Recognizing someone’s potential even when they don’t, that is a true leader! 💕

Listening to Jay Shetty recent podcast with I found myself in a moment of awe!

Over the course of an hour, they opened up with their own struggles and their life experiences that resonated with my own. They provided tools (effective tools) to win at life and take back control!

Let me share…

Over the last couple years, I have fallen victim to the things that haven’t been working. Focusing on failures and missing the successes.

My days were crashing down around me and I was beating myself up for it! My worth had been determined by the number in the bank account and patrons visiting our business. I watched my weight gain and chalked it up to punishment, thinking I wasn’t worth much because the number was growing.

Without noticing, I had grown to hate the person I had become.

How did that happen? To me, someone who speaks against this mindset all the time!

As it was described so well on the podcast, I had collected so much dust on the mirror of life and covered up the human being standing in front of me! I wasn’t giving myself a chance, a moment to shine when things had gone well. I had collected too much dust.

Our job is to take care of ourselves always! We must encourage and love ourselves everyday! Our worth is not measured by life’s challenges, it’s there to be celebrated!

Clear the dust and see the person staring back at you and remember to love them!

Last night I had a wonderful meal with my husband to celebrate another year of marriage. We were enjoying ourselves and I got lost in the moment.

Just before I finished my drink, I noticed two women looking my way and talking amongst themselves. In between comments they would look over at me with an expression of dislike.

In my early years this would have upset me. I would have asked myself, “Why am I a problem?” Yet, now I understand that behavior comes from their own insecurities.
(And knew I would share the moment to put light on personal growth 😉)

We are all different and offer so many different perspectives, experiences and even appearances.

Never start to doubt your worth because you see someone happy. Never question your purpose because someone may be ahead of you. Never stop loving yourself because you don’t yet see your own beauty.

I finished my meal and had a wonderful night and remembered how wonderful I could be 💕

One thing that has become clear since operating a business is there will always be someone that doesn’t appreciate your decisions. You know the saying, “You can’t make everyone happy.”

Even though my intentions are pure and meant to be helpful with the customer in mind, somehow someone will be unsatisfied.

I think this happens no matter what your career path or life journey, I just didn’t notice until now.

Yet, it’s prompted me to keep my happiness a priority. I stay true to my values and goals and hopefully others will be able to enjoy the journey with me!

Either way, my decisions are made 😉 I encourage you to start doing the same!!!

Growing means those that once made up your circle, may no longer have a purpose.

You’ve uncovered the best version of yourself, no longer buried by self doubt.

You’ve abandoned those stagnant influences, which prevented positive change.

It can feel pretty lonely.

Remember...You’re not alone, you just made space between mediocracy and greatness!

This week has been a bit more trying than most.

There were a few times I brought myself down to others to accommodate their lack of growth. Then quickly felt the disappointment of the situation.

I have been challenged by many around me and forced myself to remove those that didn’t fit in my world any longer. Reality is ...this is hard. Guilt tries to cloud the truth of what is best. Stay the course!

I want to encourage you to remember what you deserve and surround yourself with those that know your worth! Make an effort today to recognize your value and only share that with people who know it too!!

Business has thrust me into my own personal growth.

Through each interaction, each success, the failures and even the occasional confrontation, I have forced myself to get uncomfortable. In turn, it has revealed the true intentions of those around me.

Some will question my worth and others will pray over it, those are the people I choose.

Remember, change begins with awareness!

I have always said it’s important to be empathetic...consider what someone is going through and never pass judgement. With certainty I can say there will be times that someone’s troubles aren’t visible, yet their struggles are real.

Tread lightly and adjust a woman’s crown without telling her it’s crooked 😘
