Your Day and Beyond

The standards of beauty, the standards of being a perfect mother and wife are incredibly damaging to our self-esteem and mental health.   All this pressure can make women feel like they're not good enough so they hide their true selves and present a flawless image to the world.  They wear a mask to conceal their true selves.

Each year, many people make resolutions to be or do better than they did last year. This year, I decided I need to level up in a major way. I’m ready to run into my destiny and baby steps are no longer going to work for me to get where I’m trying to go.

Trying to keep pace with the speed life is moving is why most of us are feeling overwhelmed and stressed out. Not taking the time we need to connect with our emotions, thoughts or the people in our lives can leave us feeling off balance and disconnected. Living on autopilot isn’t serving us, because it robs us of our ability to live in the moment.

It’s human nature to want more of a good thing. I mean why not, we all want to feel good and we like having experiences that make us feel good. But sometimes we can get ahead of ourselves and miss important opportunities. It just seems like there’s not enough time to do everything we want to do because our lives are so full of things we have to do.

If you can check off all the vanity boxes about your partner but can’t check off that many boxes for their character traits what does that tell you?

Being independent and strong  has somehow placed us in an unhealthy predicament of taking care of everything and everyone before we take care of ourselves. I know a lot of this has to do with societal expectations that have been placed on us but the majority of it is self inflicted. When a whole generation of women before us took on more responsibility outside the home, they somehow forgot to release or delegate the duties inside the home.

What I bring to the table is more valuable than 50% of the financial resources and material things he wants. When I woke up, I was no longer trying to be what a man wants and instead I became what he needed.

I didn’t want any part of the disappointments or  disagreements over disappointments that often comes with being in love with the wrong person. I just wanted the sweetest parts of being in love until I discovered that real love will even make the bitter parts taste sweet when you’re in love with the right person and you trust love to give you what you need.

There’s so much to be said for being equally yoked with the right man. My love journey hasn’t always been as sweet as it is now but it’s definitely been worth it. I rewrote my love story and I’m living the most beautiful life that I never imagined was possible for me. I believe every woman deserves a happy and healthy relationship and I’m here to support you in your journey to rewrite your love story.

When we’re happy, it’s easy to be our best selves and bring that energy into our relationships. Before, I didn’t believe I deserved to have a happy and healthy relationship. Every woman deserves to be happy in her relationship.
