I started my business in blogging about taking the leap of faith of moving from my hometown STL to Dallas over a decade ago with no job lined up. Fast forward to last year when I took a leap of faith again to leave my corporate job to operate in my business full-time and move to LA. It was then that I felt the urge to start writing again to document this season in my life.

August is National Wellness Month and in my own financial wellness journey the urge to release the emotional debt tied to filing bankruptcy in 2010 came up to the surface. Please check out my post that takes you on the journey of what led to me filing to the point of releasing the shame.

Releasing Emotional Debt- My Path to Financial Recovery and Self-Forgiveness From Bankruptcy I set the intention earlier this year to be debt free by the time I turn 40 in November, but also to be free of emotional debt as well. I don’t find it ironic at all that the need for me to release the emotional weight from filing bankruptcy in 2010 bubbled up to the surface with August being Nati...

I shared this with my email community but I wanted to share here as well. The application for federal student loan forgiveness for up to 20k has been released, but forgiveness being granted has been put on hold due to legislation being introduced to block it. Even with these shenanigans going on I still encourage you to apply. The application takes less than 5 minutes. For more information about eligibility and the link to apply please see the link here: https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/debt-relief-info

I’m not seeing a lot of conversation about this but the deadline to apply for the Temporary Expanded Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program is 10/31/2022. If you will still have federal student loan debt after the 10k or 20k is forgiven then I encourage you to apply for this program even if you are not sure if you qualify. You can find that form here:https://studentaid.gov/sites/default/files/public-service-application-for-forgiveness.pdf If you need assistance filling out the form I suggest tapping into resources. Her class helped me tremendously.

I’m looking forward to next Saturday as I’ll be speaking about at 's Wellness Means Business event in LA! Join me and other ambitious women for a day of mentorship, networking, and advice to launch, grow or scale your business in the wellness industry. Click the link in my stories to get tickets before they sell out. Can’t wait to see you there!

I’m excited to be a guest teacher for the Sanctuary School this Thursday at 3pm EST. The theme for this month is Ancestral Traditions & Healing. When it comes to finances its important to understand that your relationship with money didn’t start with you.

That didn’t click for me in my own financial journey until I became intentional about walking through my own money story and getting to the root of my relationship with money.

I’m excited to walk through this on Thursday, so join me virtually by registering through the link in my IG stories.

Calling in more abundant experiences like today full of good food, laughter and expansive conversations. A simple yet abundant Saturday indeed.

I spent yesterday in the mountains witnessing and celebrating my dear friend ☺️. It was a great way to round out July.

I’m calling in more laughter and leisure for the month of August. As I am still catching my breath from relocating and my last day at my corporate job being on the same day in May.

I’m still grieving the loss of one my best friends that left Earth side in June.

I’m grateful for how my tribe has showed up for me and loved on me. I’m grateful for seeing the fruit of being open to receive.

Happy August yall ✨✨✨✨

I invite you to join me in a virtual workshop on Thursday at 4pm PST/6pm CST to dive deeper into the correlation between Your Mind and Your Money. Journey with me as we walk through your money story and current relationship with money. You can sign up via the link in the comments or DM me. There is also a ticket option for you to sponsor a seat for the workshop as well.

Sometimes you just need to get your make up done, be a last minute model and participate in sensual poses and movement to get your creativity flowing. A Saturday well spent.

Life is great.

When things move at an accelerated pace in this season stay grounded and remember that you are worthy.

If you find yourself drained and your money is not quite flowing how you desire it may be time to examine your boundaries.

You see not having healthy boundaries in place and giving from a cup that is not in overflow is keeping you further from the you desire.

Give yourself permission this weekend to truly take care of your mind, body and spirit.

Happy March❤️. Happy Women’s History Month. I want to remind you that it is safe to be in your power.
