Selective Energy Only 💅🏽

This week, we’re talking about boundaries, detachment, insecurity, workplace energy, and learning how to stop giving every situation access to your emotions.And baby…I PASSED my last Mother-Baby exam! 😭😂💅🏽Thank you to every prayer warrior who had me covered — but please do NOT take my name off the list yet because another exam is already loading. Nursing school gives you about seven minutes to celebrate before the next chapter slides in like, “Hey girl.” 😂🖤 Current WatchI watched Crystal Lake on Peacock and really liked it.Give me creepy, suspenseful, questionable horror-movie decisions, and a dark fall vibe — I’m seated. 😂💋 Disconnected, Not DisturbedThe real conversation this week is about learning how to detach from environments, conversations, and people that consistently put you in a negative space.Not avoiding responsibilities.Not being disrespectful.Not refusing necessary communication.Just realizing:Everything does not deserve a reaction.Sometimes the answer is simply:“Okay. Now I know.”And then you move accordingly.💼 Professional Does Not Mean FakeYou can be professional without pretending to be close to everybody.You can:​do your job​communicate​handle your responsibilities​treat people with respect…and still decide certain people do not get personal access to you.We are coworkers. We do not have to brunch. 😂💅🏽My rule?Detach from the drama. Not the responsibility.👀 Watch the PatternsIf somebody constantly talks about everyone else behind their back, pay attention.You do not always need:​a confrontation​an investigation​a PowerPoint​exhibits A through G 😂Sometimes noticing the pattern is enough.Adjust access accordingly.💎 Confidence Is Not the ProblemInsecurity that gets projected onto other people disturbs me.If somebody else knowing who they are makes you uncomfortable, that may be something you need to work through.Do not down somebody because they are confident.Do not call self-assurance arrogance just because it makes you uncomfortable.And baby…It is not my fault you need a battery pack to push through. Recharge. 😂💅🏽🧠 Boundaries + AccountabilityBoundaries do not mean you are always right.You can stand on what you feel and still ask:“Could I have handled that better?”That is grown.Confidence and accountability can exist at the same time.🐈‍⬛ New Baby LoadingI’m getting an all-black girl kitten this week, right in time for Halloween. 🖤🐈‍⬛Now I need a chic little name worthy of the moment.Noir? Onyx? Velvet? Raven? Wednesday?Send suggestions because baby…Fluffy is not happening. 😂🎂 Good Energy OnlyI got to spend time with my girls and celebrate Mel’s birthday, and it reminded me how different healthy energy feels.There is something special about being around people where you can simply exhale.No calculating.No performing.No wondering who is going to repeat what.That kind of friendship fills your cup.🏡 Home Decor UpdateHome decor shopping has been a SUCCESS. 🏡✨The vision is coming together:Peaceful.Warm.Collected.Comfortable.Intentional.BooksRun affiliate link:https://booksrun.com/?afk=29295Using my link also helps support Not Your Around the Way Gworl Podcast.💜 Girl… RememberYou can care and step back.You can be professional without being fake.You can be kind without being personally available.You can notice the pattern without announcing it.You can let people misunderstand you without exhausting yourself trying to correct the story.Do your job.Keep your word.Own your mistakes.Treat people with basic respect.Protect your peace.And move accordingly.Because sometimes the chicest response really is:“Okay. Now I know.”Fix your lip gloss…And continue your day. 😂💋✨This week’s question:What have you learned to detach from because it no longer deserves access to your peace?And please send kitten-name suggestions too. 🐈‍⬛🖤📧 Contact: [email protected] from the drama. Not the responsibility. 💋🖤✨

I know I disappeared again 😂 but baby… life has been LIFEING.I’ve been locked in studying for my next Mother-Baby exam, trying to work, be a mom, have a life, and somehow remember to sleep. So if I go quiet sometimes, don’t take it personally — your girl is somewhere with a highlighter, notes, and a prayer. 😂But even in the middle of the stress, there has been so much GOOD happening.🍓 TikTok Made Me Do ItI finally tried the viral beef gelatin fruit snacks and baby…They are actually GOOD. 😂TikTok gets us with a lot of nonsense, but this one delivered.📺 Current WatchI watched the new Carrie series on Prime and loved it. 🖤Give me dark, dramatic, a little unsettling, and enough fictional chaos to let my brain clock out after studying.💍 Congratulations, Sherita!My friend Sherita is ENGAGED! 💍💜I am genuinely so happy for her. She deserves every bit of happiness coming her way, and I’m already excited to celebrate at the wedding.🎂 Celebrating My BestieMy best friend Mel is celebrating her 72nd birthday, and yes… you heard that correctly. 😂💜She’s Caucasian, I’m Black, we’re from different generations, and somehow life decided:“Yep. These two belong together.”And baby, it was RIGHT.I adore her little self and I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned from her — especially just watching how she lives, carries herself, enjoys life, and moves through the world.This weekend I finally get to see my girls, catch up, laugh, and celebrate her properly.🎷 Proud Mama MomentNash had his first concert and it was AMAZING. 😭🎷💜Watching your child get up there and do something they love is one of those moments that makes all the running around worth it.And now he’s also applying to the Young Men’s Leadership Academy, so we’re excited to see where that opportunity leads.🍂 Happy Fall!We are officially in the fall era and I am so happy about it.Cozy nights. Good drinks. Football. Shows. Candles. Holidays getting closer.Give me all of it. 🍂💋💜 Girl… RememberLife does not have to be perfect for it to be good.You can be stressed in one area and still have so much joy happening around you.You can be tired and grateful.Busy and happy.Struggling with one thing and thriving somewhere else.Sometimes you just have to stop and look around long enough to notice:Baby… there is still so much GOOD happening.So celebrate your people.Take the break.Watch the show.Try the TikTok snack. 😂Handle your business…but don’t forget to enjoy your life while you’re handling it.And please wish your girl MUCH luck on this next Mother-Baby exam because baby…I NEED IT. 😂💋📧 Contact: [email protected]

Build the life now. Don’t wait for the perfect version of it.This week, we’re talking about learning to enjoy the life you have while you’re still building the next version of it.Because baby… if I wait until Acute Med-Surg cardiovascular stops stressing me out to enjoy myself, apparently I will never know peace again. 😂🫀We’re getting into the little things making life feel good right now: thrifting pieces for the new home, planning a train ride to New York, building a real “second-home” routine in the city, Fleetwood Mac in the music rotation, pumpkin chai tea, vampire obsessions, and one very proud mama moment. 💋🍂🏡 New Home EnergyThe new-home season is getting very close, and I’m not trying to create a showroom — I’m creating a home.Think:thrifted piecesa little luxecollected, warm, intentionalpersonality over price tagsStyle has never been about the receipt.

The darkness. The wardrobe. The centuries-old grudges.I am seated.🍂 Pumpkin Chai Has Entered the ChatPumpkin chai tea is officially in the beverage rotation…And baby, she is not visiting.She has a key. 😂🍂If it tastes like pumpkin, chai, cinnamon, maple, or fall leaves with ambition… put it in my cup.🎶 Current Music RotationFleetwood Mac has officially entered the rotation.It’s giving:

Serious goals. Soft heart. Protected energy.This week, we’re getting into romantic relationships while you’re in school and trying to build your future.Because baby… school already has us in a toxic situationship with deadlines. 😂 The last thing anybody needs is to be fighting for their GPA and fighting for peace at the same time.We’re talking about the difference between a partner who encourages you, checks on you, celebrates your growth, and understands your demanding season… versus a relationship that constantly drains you, creates chaos, makes you feel guilty for studying, or turns your goals into a problem.And yes, we’re still keeping it cute because being locked in does not mean being miserable. 💅🏽📚 Book Girl UpdateAshley Antoinette just released Butterfly 6 and I am SO excited for us to start it. 😂📚If you’re reading too, we’re officially in this together.But please…NO SPOILERS.Let me mind fictional people’s business in chronological order. 😂💅🏽🩺 Today’s Sponsor: Scope NursingNursing school will humble you quickly — especially when the question says “select all that apply.” 😂Scope Nursing is an AI-powered study resource for nursing students that can help turn course materials into exam-style practice questions.Referral Code: Z6HYV2D🙏🏽 7-Day Prayer + Daniel FastStarting September 14, I’m doing 7 days of intentional prayer and a Daniel Fast.Each day:At least 30 minutes of prayerAt least 30 minutes of journalingDaniel FastIntentional quiet time with GodThis week is about clarity, discernment, discipline, healing, direction, stronger boundaries, and making sure God stays in the middle of what we’re building.🛟 Safety NoteThis episode discusses emotionally unhealthy, controlling, and potentially abusive relationship dynamics.If you are experiencing abuse or feel unsafe, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline:📞 800-799-7233

Same heart. Bigger vision. Better energy.This week on Not Your Around the Way Gworl Podcast, we’re talking about what happens when you hit a season where you don’t necessarily want a whole new life… you just want to build the next version more intentionally.This episode is personal.With my dad’s birthday coming up, I’ve been thinking a lot about legacy, family, faith, grief, sisterhood, confidence, and what we choose to carry forward.My dad passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2016, so seeing the recent FDA approval of a new targeted treatment for certain pancreatic cancer patients was incredibly bittersweet. I wish options like this had been available when he was fighting, but I’m genuinely grateful for the families who may have another option today.I’m also sharing what it meant to see my dad’s military service honored and talking about one of the things I’m proudest that he left behind: his book, Discipleship Boot Camp for the Kingdom of God by Dr. Darryl J. Bryant Sr.If you’re intentionally building your relationship with God, I truly believe his book can be a meaningful resource. Supporting it also means supporting my family lineage and helping keep something my dad created moving forward. I’m so proud of him. 💜We’re also getting into something very close to my heart this season: building a deeper relationship with my older sister.We’ve realized we have so much in common—from being bookworms to loving gardening—and I don’t want us to simply know that we’re sisters. I want us to actually know each other.I’m talking sister trips, summer vacations with our kids, holiday dinners, random phone calls, cousin memories, books, gardens, laughter, and finally putting some of those “girl, we need to get together” conversations on the actual calendar. 😂Because sometimes legacy isn’t only what someone leaves behind.Sometimes it’s what the people they leave behind decide to build together.And of course, we’re still talking about reinvention, visibility, confidence, walking into rooms, pouring into people who pour back, and refusing to shrink just because somebody else is uncomfortable with you knowing your worth.💋 In This Episode:● Honoring my dad as his birthday approaches● Grief ten years later and how it changes● New progress in pancreatic cancer treatment● My dad’s military legacy● Discipleship Boot Camp for the Kingdom of God● Strengthening my relationship with my older sister● Half-sibling relationships and choosing closeness as adults● Sister trips, family vacations & holiday traditions● Creating relationships between our children● Reinventing your life without rejecting your past● Becoming more visible and entering new rooms● Confidence vs. arrogance● Why I’m no longer shrinking to make other people comfortable● Building something worth leaving behindAs with any dietary supplement, review the ingredients and directions and speak with a healthcare professional if you have questions about whether it’s appropriate for you.📖 Support My Dad’s LegacyDiscipleship Boot Camp for the Kingdom of God by Dr. Darryl J. Bryant Sr.If you’re working on strengthening your relationship with God and becoming more intentional about your faith, I would love for you to support my dad’s work.It means so much to me and my family. 💜💌 Join the ConversationHave you reached a season where you suddenly wanted to change everything?What are you keeping, what are you releasing, and what relationships are you becoming more intentional about?And tell me about someone you’ve lost whose influence still shows up in your life today.📧 [email protected]💜 Girl… RememberYou’re not starting from nothing. You come from something.Honor where you came from, strengthen the branches that matter, and build something beautiful enough to leave behind.Same heart. Bigger vision. Better energy.And yes, baby…the price is still up. 💋✨
