Pregnant With a Promise: The Labor and Delivery Process Caused Me So Much Pain
I’ve never given birth in the natural, but if it is anything like I felt when I was in my most recent season of change- what I like to call a birthing season- wow, oh wow. Let me tell you! I was emotional, in pain, agony, distress, discomfort, restless and irritable. I wanted to get…
Read MoreSomething Has To Change
When I got to the point I was pulling in my garage after work and just sitting there for 10-15 minutes, scrolling through my phone and crying, I knew something had to change. The feeling of resentment towards myself began to really sink in. I would become so anxious and taken over by anxiety when…
Read MoreThe Kid In Me
I had accomplished and accumulated a lot of things at a young age. On the surface, things looked good, but in reality, it wasn’t as good as it seemed. There were plenty of days when I wished I was a kid again. A part of me felt like I grew up too fast and stripped…
Read MoreThe Solo Entrepreneur: The Top Can Be Lonely
What does a single entrepreneur do when they have no support system? Who do they talk to? I have heard before that being at the top is lonely, and I agree. When you reach a certain level of success (whatever that may look like to you), there are certain things that you no longer will…

Read MoreLeave Him Alone: The Single Married Man
Leave that married man alone! He is not going to leave his wife to be with you. Don’t allow him to convince you through social media posts that he is not happy. I don’t care how long you have known him and how much of a nice guy he seems to be; he is who…
Read MoreLove Isn’t Blind
Love isn’t blind, we just choose to see what we want to see. We have selective seeing when it comes to certain situations. We overlook, ignore, and make excuses for inappropriate behavior. Giving people the benefit of the doubt while compromising who we are only leads to regret. Regret of not trusting your intuition, regret…
Read MoreDating a Man With Kids
A man should never allow a woman to come in between him and his relationship with his child(ren). For a man that does, lacks boundaries and is not fit to be called a father. I am the product of a single mother. My dad allowed his wife to come in between our relationship. Well, from…
Read MoreWatch Me
My voice has been stifled, but no longer will I allow fear to keep me silent. I am not going to fear rocking the boat, stirring the pot, stepping on someone’s toes, and making people feel uncomfortable.
