76// When Gratitude Keeps You Stuck

Why Thankfulness Isn’t Always the Answer (and What to Do Instead) It’s the week after Thanksgiving, and if you’re feeling a little guilty that you’re more snappy than you are “grateful,” this episode is for you, mama. Because here’s the truth most people won’t say out loud: Gratitude alone doesn’t make the exhaustion go away. And that 5-minute checklist of things you’re “thankful” for? It might actually be keeping you stuck. In today’s episode, I’m diving into why your gratitude practice may not be working — and how to rewire it so that you’re not just practicing gratitude, but actually living in it. We’ll talk about: ✨ The real reason you still feel overwhelmed, cranky, or disconnected — even when you should feel thankful ✨ The battle between your brain’s desire for safety and your heart’s desire for more ✨ How surface-level gratitude can accidentally keep you from stepping into your God-given calling ✨ The truth about the Israelites in Numbers 32 — and how it mirrors your life ✨ Three powerful shifts you can make to live in alignment, abundance, and purpose (without guilt) And friend, if you’ve ever felt torn between being grateful for what you have… and wanting more, this conversation will free you. Because wanting more doesn’t make you selfish — it might actually mean you're ready to step into your Promised Land.   📌 Takeaways: Gratitude and growth are not opposites — they must coexist. You don’t need to shrink your desire for more. You need to invite God into it. Your comfort zone might be what’s keeping you from your calling. Gratitude isn’t a checklist — it’s a lens through which you view your life. ✨ Ready for More?

Anxiety isn’t just random worry or stress—it’s your soul’s way of whispering (or sometimes screaming), “Something has to change.” But too often, we push it aside, numb it, or chalk it up to just being a “busy working mom” thing. In today’s episode, I’m getting real about my own struggles with anxiety—from the postpartum anxiety that had me on medication for seven years to the gut punch of realizing I may have passed it down to my daughter. We’re diving into: ✅ The subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of anxiety that working moms ignore ✅ Why anxiety is so common for career-driven women juggling it all ✅ The stigma around anxiety & why we try to just “push through” ✅ The long-term side effects of relying solely on medication ✅ Practical, holistic coping mechanisms you can implement today—for yourself and for your kids I also share the game-changing realization that allowed me to finally come off my anxiety meds—not because I “fixed” my brain, but because I started living in alignment with the life I was truly meant to have. If you’ve been feeling that constant, simmering background anxiety… maybe it’s time to listen to what your soul is trying to tell you.   📩 Let’s connect!

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about a belief that held me back for far too long—the idea that I couldn’t be successful because I wasn’t “pretty enough.” I used to think that not having long blonde extensions, eye lash extensions and perfect lips meant that I couldn't reach the highest levels of success online. Spoiler alert: I was wrong. Here’s the truth: your success as an entrepreneur has nothing to do with how you look and everything to do with your mindset. Success isn’t reserved for the prettiest, the blondest, or the ones with the perfect Instagram feed. It’s for the women who show up, do the inner work, and take action—no matter how they feel. In this episode, I share: My personal struggle with feeling “not pretty enough” to succeed. Why mindset is the real key to unlocking success in your business and your life. Why we often let appearance-based insecurities hold us back. Three actionable tips to overcome limiting beliefs, step into your worth, and go after your dreams with confidence. Quotes to Remember: "Your success isn’t waiting for you to feel ‘pretty enough.’ It’s waiting for you to decide you’re worthy and take action." "Entrepreneurship is a personal development journey with an incredible compensation plan attached. The more inner work you do, the more success you’ll find."

It’s that time of year again—resolutions, goals, and big dreams for the year ahead. But let’s be real: most people don’t stick to them. 📉 Did you know that 23% of people quit their resolutions in the first week and 64% give up by February? Why? Loss of motivation and feeling “too busy” are the biggest culprits. The truth is, motivation will only take you so far. Discipline, belief, and a clear vision are the real game changers. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why goals fail and how you can be part of the 8% who actually crush their resolutions. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✨ Why motivation is a gimmick—and what can actually be your secret weapon. ✨ How your beliefs are driving your behavior (and possibly sabotaging your goals). ✨ The importance of creating a vision board and how to make it your North Star. ✨ 4 powerful journal prompts to uncover what you really want in life. ✨ How to turn yearly goals into quarterly, monthly, and daily actionable steps that will actually have you CRUSHING your goals.  ✨ Why urgency, creativity, and messy action are non-negotiable for success. Key Takeaways: 🔥 "Belief drives behavior. If you don’t believe success is available for you, your actions will reflect that." 🔥 "Vision without action is merely a dream. Vision with action can change the world." 🔥 "Faith and fear both demand you believe in something you cannot see—choose wisely."
