Woah, time flies. Last year I talked about taking a break and didn’t k is a year would pass. I’m reenergized and slowly healing (mentally). Let’s talk about these toddler times, tough times and improving ourselves.
Wanted to give a new way to review my background and experience, via podcast. I talk to myself for 10 minutes talking to my resume.
Vacation is good for the soul. Unplug, unwind and reconnect with your “why” and don’t feel guilty about taking time off.
Let’s talk race and why little comments hurt and how you can help recognize little jabs that add up to harmful beliefs. Yeah, I said it. Why does it matter? My son is mixed race and someone asked a question referring to me as a caregiver or nanny, not his mom. Talk about awkward. I’m going to raise him to understand different and diverse brightens your outlook and experience.
Yesterday was a good day, but Friday was a really bad day. I talk through my thoughts with depression and anxiety that postpartum has really given me and how I deal with those bad days. And for more help or someone to talk to, there is always the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 800-273-8244
We drove from Atlanta, Ga to San Francisco, CA and back in 30 days while our newborn was 2 months old. This is our schedule, itinerary and my top 5 recommendations.
I never thought I would be a mom that spends time baking for my baby, but I am so concerned with the veggies and nutrition that he gets I want to know what he is eating. It’s been a fun process and a learning process.
Depression and anxiety hit me hard post pregnancy. Everyone deals with it differently, and I’m trying to find a new balance.
It’s been around 65 days. I’m going to give you my tips on how I’ve stayed positive and motivated while we’ve stayed at home. Exercise, Nutrition and mental breaks have worked for me.
I divide my vision board into sections, which include Family, Health, Wealth/Career and Travel. Find your priorities then write them down. Organize with magazine photos, printing from internet or going digital. Put it in a place where you can see the goals in front of you and refocus your actions to those goals.
I woke up one morning and thought, “what if we rented an RV, with our newborn, and travel across the country for a month.” Surely, Joseph would think it was crazy and shut the idea down. Nope, we started planning and decided to make it happen. Here’s what we did to plan and what we didn’t plan for (dates, budget, weather and locations) and perhaps a little mental breakdown and relationships building.
This is Roland’s birth story and how the day happened to escalate from a doctor appointment.
From rocking compression socks for swollen feet, jamming out to NKOTB while I got ready for work and snacking on snickerdoodle Dairy Queen Blizzard- here are 11 days in my 90 day challenge.
Here are the things I did while pregnant during the 90 day self care challenge (from cinnamon treats to cinnamon treats).

On these days our kitchen sink broke, but we didn’t stress out about it. We also stayed committed to what we said we would do and attended all of our doctor appointments. We ended up going the store at 10pm to get epsom salt for my swollen feet, was grateful for the positives in life and got my stuff together by putting myself together. And finally went to DragonCon by myself to enjoy myself.
I have lived my life knowing that I wasn’t the favorite in my family, school and throughout my career. That becomes a limiting belief that I would never stand out and never gained acceptance. Why not change your mindset and become your own favorite.
Little things daily make the difference! From getting a new lipstick shade, talking to my mom, finding moments to have fun, getting my hair done and getting a pedicure every little thing counts.
Naps, friends, massage and fur babies make up the next four days of my 90 day self care challenge
