Change your thinking...

...and watch it change your life!

I am no stranger to overwhelm and feeling over it and burnt out! In fact, I wrote the book on it... Literally!  I could remember when I was running around helping everyone, taking on multiple responsibilities at work or in the community, and volunteering in different activities with my son. Thinking... I just have to do this to prove how strong I am. Or to prove how the challenges of being a single mom was not going to me. And because of that, I probably made things more complicated because I enjoyed my fair share of "forget it, I'll do it myself!"  As you can imagine... I was completely done with all things! 

Just this past week, I sat down with Sharvette Mitchell of the Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show to dive deeper into my philosophy and mission for empowering women, shared my strategies for helping overwhelmed and overworked career-driven and business women to create balance, and even gave insight into how women can LEVEL UP their 2019!

I thought I was irreplaceable and like the Energizer Bunny who could keep going and going, but the truth is...I couldn't. Eventually I hit my rock bottom. I realized then, that all of these things that I was doing did absolutely nothing for me...except prove that I didn't value myself or my time. I had to stop trying to prove to everyone that I can do it all, and accept that I CAN'T. And it wasn't an acceptance of defeat, more of a realization that we are not meant to be running off saving the world with a cape around our neck. Or that balance meant putting everything on my scales and walking delicately in and out spaces trying to hide the exhaustion and frustration from the outside world. 

NO! The acceptance was in knowing that I can have all that I desire in life, but I CAN'T do everything for everyone all the time. More so, I also learned that in letting go of these expectations, I started to grow in an amazing way. And that growth...well let's just say that it put me in different spaces too. Of course, once you start elevating, you have to surround yourself with others to move with you.
