"Sometimes the only solution is to let go. No more overthinking. No more crying. No more headaches. Exhale to keep your sanity." ~Author Unknown~
Our mind is our most sacred space where we keep our thoughts, desires, and disappointments. When we don't take the time to let go and heal our mental traumas, we carry them into other aspects of our lives.
In the last seventeen years, I have dealt with PTSD after the loss of my two-year-old daughter. And amid my mental health journey, I was at a breaking point, wondering when the mental anguish would end.
In this podcast episode I will discuss:
- mental health journey
- how you can exhale even when life is challenging
- why letting go gives you true freedom and power

Choose to put yourself first and make you a priority. It's not selfish it's a necessity. ~Keysha Jade~
Many believe in the concept that if you put others before your own needs you are doing a noble thing. However, I believe the noble thing you can do is make your dreams, desires, and yourself the priority. I spent many years thinking every year would be different but nothing change because I would feel unappreciated and neglected at the end of every year. At the end of 2023, I knew the only way 2024 could be different is me reprioritizing my life...I HAD TO BRAVE ENOUGH TO PUT MYSELF FIRST!!
In this episode, I discuss:
-
the power of putting yourself as a top priority
-
letting go of the people pleaser, overgiving, and oversharing mentality
-
building a year where you allow your faith to manifest all the things you deserve

"You got to live for yourself, yourself and nobody else."
~James Brown~
Occasionally, we find ourselves caught in the matrix of outsourcing our lives to others. We begin to feel like we are living to work and pleasing others, and ultimately, we feel depleted and exhausted. But what if I shared three ways you can live your life more meaningfully and still make an impact?
In this episode, I am discussing three specific ways to live a life that resonates with who you desire to become and understand rejecting things that no longer align with you can help you start your journey to authentic living.

Make life your playground, not your battlefield. ~Ormond McGill~
Your life can either be a highway, one-way lane, or sandbox. You can choose how small or big you want to play in this game of life. Recently, I was thinking about how life can be a playground where we all have the option to explore the fun, but many of us go straight to the sandbox and sit in the four walls of the square never choosing to take a risk. We often let fear, stagnancy, and complacency keep us playing small in life, but what if we explore all the opportunities life offers? We will understand life is expansive and not short at all.
In this episode, I discuss the analogy of life being a playground, how to explore it, and how to let go of the idea that life is short.

A fresh start isn’t a new place. It’s a new mindset.
~Author Unknown~
As time passes, the new year is vastly approaching, but before the new year comes, this is a perfect time to take inventory of what you desire for an upcoming year. We often recycle an old version of ourselves, expecting the year to be different. However, the glimmer of a new year is contingent upon a new you enveloping a new mindset, habits & choices. In this episode, I discuss ways you can uplevel your thoughts and create a new you before the new year.

"Be faithful to that which exists within yourself." ~Andre Gide~
For many years, I attracted friends and men who were emotionally unavailable, not understanding how much I was unavailable for myself. Although I was ready to commit to others, I was not committing to the most vital person in my life, which was ME. As years passed, I created a sacred space that nurtured self-love, self-worth, and self-compassion. And I am still on this journey to allow room to express my emotions. In this episode, I am discussing essential ways in which you can create a space for your emotional well-being and set yourself free from suppressing your real feelings.

“Follow your dreams, believe in yourself, and don’t give up.”
~Rachel Corrie~
Everyone has a different path in life; what works for someone else may not work for you. It is essential to figure out what you desire to do in life. Having a perspective on your vision makes it easier to execute your dreams. However, we often allow external noise to discourage us from our dream life. In this episode, I discuss the importance of regaining your main character's energy and pursuing your dreams without looking for external validation.

“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” ~Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.~
For the last few months, I have been on an intimate journey of letting go of hardship, embracing softness, and creating my definition of what a soft life looks like for me. As a black woman in America, I know how we have settled for society's stereotypical ideas of black women carrying the load. However, I realize how often I embrace the idea of always being the strong one and not understanding the detriment it had on my mental health.
In this episode, I discuss the importance of defining your idea of a soft lifestyle, figuring out what you need to implement a soothing environment, and creating soft surroundings in a hardcore world.

"You deserve to be in environments that bring out the softness in you , not the survival in you." ~Unknown~
Sometimes, hardship follows us to every season of our lives because we are not ready to let the struggle go. However, when we carry the burden, we self-sabotage our joy. We continue to bring the victim's story to every scene of our lives. Life is a constant suffering until one day, a decision is made to let go of hardship and embrace a softer life. In this episode, I discuss three ways you can let go of resistance, accept where you are, and know you deserve a lighter form of life.

~C.S. Lewis~
💕Sometimes, we find ourselves at a crossroads, wondering if pivoting is the best thing to do to start something new. In the last year, I knew I wanted to exit my educational career and try something new. As an educator, it can be demanding and tiresome; however, it has been rewarding to teach for ten years. But I began losing my love for teaching, and saying goodbye was inevitable. In this episode, I discuss my journey in pivoting, embracing new career adventures, and the possibilities of living a life I always dreamed of. 💕

"And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."
~Bible, KJV~
As a writer, I love to journal my thoughts daily. It is essential to release your thoughts on paper because it can help you organize your thoughts and gain clarity on things in your life. However, in the last year, journaling has become a way that I intentionally write out what I desire for my life. Recently, I flipped through my journal and realized some things I wrote a couple of months ago have manifested in my life. I am in awe of how powerful writing can help you live your dream life. In this episode, I discuss why writing down your vision is essential, the power of faith and manifesting, and a simple way to start the process.

"Time spent in self-reflection is never wasted it is a date with yourself." ~Author Unknown~
Self-reflection is called reflective awareness or reflective consciousness in the psychotherapy community; however, many of us don't take the time to reflect on things we go through in our lives. We spend most of our days skyrocketing through every moment instead of finding the time to hit pause. Recently, I decided to reincorporate moments of self-reflection monthly; instead of doing it periodically, I made sure it became a part of my daily lifestyle.
Self-reflection is a time to assess your mental well-being daily, weekly, and monthly. It can allow you to work through uncomfortable moments, acknowledge the lessons you learn from life, and help you take accountability for where you need to improve. In this episode, I discuss five ways self-reflection can reduce your therapy sessions, give you inner peace, and ignite your self-awareness.

"Be gentle with yourself, you're doing the best you can."
~Author Unknown~
We often become our worst critics with negative self-talk, self-abuse, and never appreciating how far we have come. Recently, I realized I needed to acknowledge how far I have come and how intentional I have been to accomplish my goals and encourage the effort I continue to make in my life. When I began to realize how important it is to appreciate my existence and well-being, things shifted for me.
Sometimes we become so critical of what we should do, how to be more successful, and comparing ourselves to others. However, when we perpetuate dark thoughts of not being enough, we create feelings of unworthiness, self-hate, and self-deprivation. In this episode, I am discussing ten ways you can lighten the load of negative self-talk, start celebrating all your successes and realize you are doing the best you can where you are now.

"Keep taking time for yourself until you're you again." ~Lalah Delia~
In a filtered society, sometimes our identities get lost in the confusion of trying to be what others want us to be instead of becoming an authentic version of ourselves.

"Once you realize you deserve better, letting go will be the best decision ever." ~Author Unknown~
We often spend most of our lives accepting many things we don't deserve. We sometimes situate ourselves around people, places, and environments that don't deserve our presence. We stay in friendships, jobs, romantic relationships, and many other things past their expiration date because we allow fear to make us accept a subpar life. However, in the last several years, I have realized how important it is to let go of things that don't value my presence. I have spent decades collecting experiences that I didn't deserve. Still, now I realize how important it is to know my worth and cultivate connections and environments that exemplify a high-quality life.
In this episode, I will discuss three key factors to change what you have received from others, start realizing what you deserve and make the necessary adjustments to say goodbye to mediocre people, places, and spaces that no longer serve the high-quality person you desire to become.

"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer." ~F. Scott Fitzgerald~
Summer is officially here, and it's time to enjoy the longer days, and shorter nights with sand planted between your toes as the wind beckons you to more lazy days. Summer can be the perfect time to plan fun road trips, staycations, and so much more; however, taking time away to unplug from social media and life demands can be the best medicine for your soul. I decided to disconnect for the summer and tap into moments of enjoyment. When you embrace the simple moments, life becomes sweeter. In this episode, I discuss three ways how you can plan a summer hiatus despite your work and life demands.

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” ~Oprah Winfrey~
The summertime is quickly upon us, and this is the perfect time to be intentional about planning trips and celebrating yourself.

“Nothing is more precious than being in the present moment. Fully alive and Fully aware.” – Thích Nhất Hạnh
You can choose how you live because stress is a choice. When you are living in the present moment, you will intentionally embrace your freedom by living in the present moment.

When you are willing to let go of the past, stay in the present, and let the future unfold, you will see the present in the present moment.

What if you decided to say YES to what you desire?
It is easy to say NO, but what if saying YES could lead your life in a different direction?
We constantly say YES to stuff we don't want to do with people we don't want to be around and places we don't want to go. When we say NO, it's because we let fear speak instead of diving into the possibilities of adventures. My life felt stagnant and dried up when I stopped saying YES to experiences. However, everything changed for me when I began to step out of fear and into a fabulous faith-filled manifesting life.
In this episode, I am discussing the thing that kept me from stepping out of my comfort zone, what motivated me to start living life in the unknown and why you need to embrace adventure and say YES to life's serendipitous moments.
