This photo is the smile and disregard I have for those arrogant enough to tell me and others to "act our age."🤔

Arrogant people who behave as if they have no filter, therefore, their negativity will definitely be filtered out.🤷🏾‍♀️

Newsflash- YOURS is the business to mind, NOT MINE.😎

This quote makes me think about my Women 50+ community and how our perceptions of ourselves are formed and how we risk showing up in the world incomplete if we allow others to determine our "shoulds and shouldnots."

Instead, how about we remain focused on discovering our authentic selves, defining our own happiness, ignoring all of that other ageist BS noise, and letting our inner light, heart, and self-directed spirit guide us?

What is this quote saying to you? Drop me a comment👇🏾 below.

Happy 40th Birthday to and new mommy

She is a perfect example of "NEVER SAY NEVER."
With her incredible talent, grace, beauty, and strength, she broke barriers, challenged stereotypes, and
on June 30, 2015, she became the first African American woman to be promoted to principal dancer in the American Ballet Theatre's 75-year history.

🤜🏾God's timeline, not necessarily yours.

🤜🏾God's will, not neccesarily your wants.

🤜🏾Sip on some water, as opposed to being thirsty for or caught up in the "tea."

🤜🏾Be grateful for your blessings and not envious of someone else's gains.

🤜🏾Stop being concerned about other people's "wins." All that glitters is not gold, and you might be surprised by how much is bought vs earned. Read that one again.🤔

I'm a Type A personality, which often comes with the need to do it ALL and do it PERFECTLY.

That was me until life HAPPENED and HUMBLED me.

Within a period of three years, I lost my husband and my job unexpectedly.

Death and Downsizing - a horrible combination.

My "perfect" life had come tumbling down, but eventually
I had to make a decision. Was I going to allow these life events to destroy, define or drive me?

I am happy to say that I am now in a place where happiness prevails again.

Perfection does not drive me, but a quest for excellence does. I am happy and content with being perfectly imperfect. I'm human, not superhuman. I've refused to allow grief to grind me into depression or stagnation.

I learned to live and love again. I learned the meaning of healthy harmony vs. balance.
I learned to enjoy life to the fullest and not sweat the small stuff.

Tomorrow is promised to no one.

I got my life back and started my own business as a life coach helping other working moms create a life for themselves outside of motherhood-guilt free.

I also wrote a book that landed in the #1 spot in Amazon's Women in Business section the day it was released. (Swipe left to see the email I received from the publisher that day).

In this case, I settled. Yeah, that's a bit of sarcasm, yet many people who work in corporate spaces with big titles, etc., may very likely call it that. I "settled" for something that is far more rewarding than the corner office I once had. I found happiness by showing other women how to find their own definition of happiness—dispelling the need in their lives for perfection and dispensing with the debilitating stress of mom guilt.

It's probably the only time in life you will hear me say I settled when it comes to my career, and even then, it's been truly an upgrade. I only work in spaces that welcome me, that were designed for me, and that serve me positively. Boss Behavior at its best.

I love this phase of life I'm in. Older. Wiser. UNBOTHERED.

Other people's opinions?
UNBOTHERED.
The trend of needing to keep up with or compete with others. UNBOTHERED.

Pushy people who must always be the center of attention and/or always be right. UNBOTHERED.

There are these things called boundaries that if you don't have in place, there are people out there who will walk over, step on, and in some cases, s**t all over you.
So be sure to set your boundaries and respect those of others.

The month of May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
SWIPE to see just a few of my words of advice.
Which ones can you relate to?

I grew up in an era where there was no social media, no streaming or on-demand anything. However, there was TV, and there were commercials. Everything then, as it is now, seemed to be centered around wealth. And while I grew up wanting "wealth," being impressionable like so many kids, I learned over the years that it alone was not the solution to everything. More importantly, wealth is a subjective term.

I left a well-paying corporate executive job not too long after my husband died. Initially, I was somewhat concerned about my family's financial well-being, but those concerns were short-lived. When one door closed, many others opened. Faith, self-worth, and clarity are beautiful things.

In time, I learned just how many pros there were associated with being away from what was a toxic environment for me in many ways. Being held hostage by a paycheck was not good for my overall health.

The positives that came with the shift were priceless. Money simply can't buy them.
This dog-eat-dog world frightens me when I see just how far some will go for fame, recognition, and a few coins. Being a thirst trap for self-validation is costly in and of itself.

Sure, money can buy you comfort, but I don't think anyone will be at the pearly gates asking for my bank statement, follower count, or Google analytics data when this life is over. Priorities. Long and short-term ones matter.

And while I am alive, I want to be the face of courage, character, and energetic, confident badassery. Demonstrate that I dare to follow my dreams, treat all people with dignity, and have integrity and values that don't have a price tag attached.
MY SOUL IS NOT FOR SALE
Being a good human will always be in style. That and only that is the trend that I want to follow.

"THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME."

The day I acquired the confidence to utter the sentence above freely, admittedly after a few dress rehearsals in the mirror, was one of the happiest days of my life.

Many of us tend to tolerate and give more to others and expect less in return for ourselves. Let's be honest some aspects (misconceptions) of that "strong woman" title are pure BS.
Like myself, you may be at a particular stage of life and now have zero f*x to give. You say it like you mean it respectfully, of course, and let the chips fall where they may. Liking me is optional. Respecting me is not.

As I often tell many of my younger clients some who seem to dread the concept of aging, there are LOTS of perks that come with growing old fabulously, and developing this level of confidence over the years is one of them.

Sure, who doesn't want to be viewed as a likable person? I would love it if everyone I crossed paths with found me likable, but I am wise enough to know that this isn't realistic. Hell, there are people in the world who will have a problem with water being wet! In addition, obsession over and putting excessive time and energy into worrying about what other people think can be harmful to your self-image, self-confidence, and mental health. Those are three valuable commodities with which I am simply unwilling to play games.

The dictionary definitions of both these words are interesting: To like is to find a person agreeable, enjoyable, or satisfactory. To respect is to hold feelings of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
QOTD:
Liked or Respected? If forced to rank them, which would be your number 1 and why?

A significant part of my passion for life coaching comes from my desire to be a non-judgemental bridge for women. From sisterhood to sanity, from uncertainty to unstoppable. While also assuring them that they are not alone in this madness called life, and that being perfectly imperfect is really OK.

Here are my Wednesday Words of Wisdom. I haven't had a client yet who hasn't needed to be reminded of some aspects of this:

You can't mess up anything that is genuinely meant for you.
Your gut is a powerful tool. Listen to it. Stop allowing fear, ego, and/or other people's opinions to muddy your decision-making.

Often we are tempted to settle for things, circumstances, and people who are less than we deserve.

The "good enough" mindset is a dangerous thing. It comes from a scarcity mindset where we convince ourselves that we won't find something or someone better, so we jump on what looks "good enough" right now. Or, we remain in situations because we think we won't find anything better.

For example, in relationships, some women will say that they prayed for a good man and that God sent a particular person to them, knowing all the while there is no way in hell God sent them somebody else's husband.

Or that job that revealed multiple 🚩🚩🚩 during the interview process, but you took it anyway because of the pay. Six weeks later, you discover you were only hired to be the BIPOC face of the company.

Trust your intuition and your faith. Let your heart and your clear mind guide you- not desperation, lack of confidence, or an attachment to mediocrity.

What is meant for you will never miss you, so don't overthink it -it will find its way to you. Trust.

Looking back over my life, I can now express gratitude for many closed doors, gut feelings that told me to run, and some stuff that just seemed to fall apart. These things protected me from situations that simply were not meant for me.

Have you experienced this in your life? How did things turn out, and what lessons did it teach you?

Sometimes it's the ones screaming "women empowerment" and "girl power," the loudest who are the first to look for something negative to say and the last ones to come to another woman's rescue.

Here are five of my favorite sayings that I strive to live by:

👉🏾If you don't have something nice to say, say less or nothing at all.
👉🏾It's more about what you do, not what you say.
👉🏾Sisterhood is more than a hashtag.
👉🏾Glass half empty people are miserable and need a hug. Or two.
👉🏾Shut the f^ck up is free.

Few things annoy me more than people who, no matter how positive or exciting something may be for someone else, they will always find something negative to say:

Someone started their dream job.
Them: Yeah, but I heard the pay sucks.

Someone lost 20lbs.
Them: Yeah, now, if only she could lose that belly fat.

Someone met a great guy that everybody seems to like.
Them: Yeah, but he's not tall.

Someone is going on vacation to ABC country.
Them: Sounds nice, except a trip to XYZ would have been better.

Someone's son/daughter accomplished a big goal.
Them: Yeah, but so and so's son/daughter accomplished an even bigger goal.

Get my drift?
The miserable "but" "if" and "except".... committee.
And if you're not living your life according to their definition of "right?" -Prepare to be judged, gossiped about, and discouraged.

Words of wisdom:
1) Don't be one of these women.
2) Don't give any of your time or energy to these women.
3) Not every ignorant comment from an ignorant person is worthy of a response.

These faux 'girl power" women are not in the business of uplifting. Just the contrary - they live to put other women down or compete with them. It makes them feel big in their tiny minds.
Don't let bitter, pretending to be happy people drag you down to their level. Instead, use their behavior as an example of how not to behave and be grateful you are nothing like them.

Stay focused, stay positive, and stay away from negative people.

04/16/2022

Some call it work-life balance. I choose to call it healthy harmony.
No matter what you label it, make sure you take the time to find it.
Yes, to make sh%t happen, you have to do sh%t. HOWEVER-
👉🏾The grind is overrated.
👉🏾Fatigue is NOT a badge of honor.

Save and share this with another woman who needs to be reminded. The health of your mind, body and spirit should never be negotiable.
