We may never truly know what hardships someone else may have… but let’s start with the effort we know it takes just to make it thru the day in our own lives. Life’s easier when we stop the struggle olympics & find grace for all of life’s challenges—for others & ourselves 🫶🏽

Guys, quick point of clarification—just because you're interestING does not mean I'm interestED. Got it? Cool cool 🤭

Another truth of communication we'd all rather ignore... what people laugh at in others is what they'll laugh at in you. Watch out if they cross the line from having fun to being cruel. Then exit stage left if you gotta. 🏃🏽‍♀️💨

It’s fine to want more… that’s ambition. But the belief that getting more will fix everything… that’s delusion. (& not the good kind🫠) Be honest with yourself so what you want aligns with what it actually does for you. Nothing more, nothing less. Happy #SelfCareSunday 🧘🏽

Friday confession: I don’t need another self-care tip either. I need somebody to pick what I’m watching tonight so I don’t spend two hours watching previews and then go to bed. 😂 At this point, choosing a show IS the show.

People will choose convenience over effectiveness more often than you think. Don’t be surprised by it. Plan for it. 👀

Less busy work. More of what—and who—you love. Maybe your body isn’t betraying you. Maybe it’s telling you something worth hearing. Happy #SelfCareSunday
