We don't have to be perfect, but we should all set some sort of standard for our lives. Standards for our business. Standards for our relationships, we could keep going. Think of one area of your life where you want to see change, and start there. This week, Ashley talks about why having standards in every area of your life is important, and encourages us all to rise up and meet every bar that we set for ourselves. Thanks To Today's Sponsors!

We get wrapped up in our everyday tasks, the to do lists, and the things we have to get done and we sometimes forget the mission. Sometimes you have to come back to the basics and remember why you even started what you're doing in the first place. On the days when you feel like you're not doing a good job within your business, your personal life, or chasing your dreams - remember God validated it, when He gave it to you. Remember what got you here in the first place. Follow Us: Instagram TikTok Facebook The Slay Girl Slay podcast is an AshMedia production, hosted by Ashley Leggs. Learn more about your ad choices.

We can be in such a hurry to get to the next level in our lives, that we miss the beauty in the moments that we currently have. This current version of who you are HAS to exist, so that the next version of yourself can thrive. You are always evolving boo and you will never have this version of yourself again.

If tomorrow, your favorite app disappeared, what would you do? In the event these algorithms change, the market changes, or the industry that you're in changes - can you still move forward with your dreams and the vision you have of your life? If the medium you use to run or market your business goes away, can you still move forward with your purpose. Today's episode is not to give you anxiety, but to hopefully get you to start thinking of different ways to do what you're already doing. To stop depending on one source of income, or one medium, to keep living the life of your dreams. Shop The New Pod Merch! Thanks To Today’s Sponsors!

Most of us, will not treat our own selves, like we would treat our very best of friends. We comfort our friends when they need us. We give them grace, and acceptance. We are ready to ride at dawn, whenever someone does them wrong. But we will not hold ourselves to that same regard. We're not saying your bestie doesn't deserve that kind of love, effort, & validation. We're saying that you deserve that kind of love, effort, & validation too. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors!

Maybe self care, isn’t just the products and practices we use to make ourselves feel good, look youthful, and be our best selves. Maybe self care, is also learning how to not care so much about things that we can’t go back and change. Worrying about things that haven't happened yet. When we hold on to negativity, and things we can't control - our body is keeping score. And to be honest sis....it's not that deep. It was never...that deep. ** Android Users** You can stream the Slay Girl Slay podcast on several podcast apps for free if you're an android user!

When you find yourself in a season of waiting, or maybe you had to take a few steps back in life...it can feel like God has forgotten about you.

Worst case scenario, things still end up working out in your favor. So honestly sis....what's the worst that can happen? Thanks To Today’s Sponsors!

Just because it's not happening right now, that doesn't mean it's not going to happen later. It's just not happening right now. Sometimes the plans we make for our lives don't go according to plan. Sometimes the math just doesn't add up. But if it's not working right now, maybe there's another plan at play. Happy Thanksgiving week!!! Thankful for each and every one of you.

Have you ever finally found a moment of joy, and quickly got scared that someone or something was going to ruin it? Have you ever found a moment of peace, but deep down waiting for the other shoe to drop and everything to fall apart? Girl, we have. This is called self sabotage. When we count ourselves out of experiencing real joy and real happiness, because we’re waiting on something bad to happen. We're waiting on something to hit the fan, instead of feeling safe in our joy and just allowing ourselves to be happy. You deserve to be happy sis. Big happy...not broke happy.

There is no version of you that will make everyone happy sis. So collectively, let's all stop trying. The only thing that you can do, is be yourself. What makes you, YOU, is what makes you special. It's what makes you unique. It's what makes you one of one. Let people criticize, judge, and say whatever they want to say about you. Keep showing up as who you are sis. Not who your aunties, uncles, followers, viewers, or spectators think you should be. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors! Today’s episode is sponsored by EarnIn! Make everyday payday, with Earnin!

Even though the situation may not be ideal, sometimes you have to do what you have to do sis. Things happen, and sometimes we can't control it. But we can control how we respond. We make things hard for ourselves when we become emotional, and let our emotions get in the way of making clear decisions. You can't go back and change how things have happened in your life, but you can change how you respond to them. Stop stressing sis...start moving. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

The good thing about God is that you can always call him up. When you feel helpless, and overwhelmed. When life feels chaotic and you don’t know what to do. This week, with everything going on in the world, Ash reminds us that sometimes all you need to do is open up your mouth and talk to him. Without perfection. Without the need to say or do everything right. Just you, speaking what’s on your heart - to someone who's always willing to listen. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors!

Your job is your purpose sis. Your assignment, is your responsibility. The people in our lives all serve a purpose, but it's up to us to determine what purpose that is. The more you grow and evolve, the bigger that purpose becomes, and you can't carry purpose and everybody else too. Let the actions of others determine where they sit in the show that is your life. We're talking friends, family members, coworkers - anybody can get it sis! People are going to do what they want to do, but you have to keep doing what you were meant to do. No harm....no foul.

Buying pens, new planners, and new notebooks to get organized will do nothing if you don't sit down and actually do the work you plan to do in them. Most of the time sis, it’s the things that we put off, the things that we feel the most resistance to…those are the things that end up changing our lives. Sometimes you just don't feel like it, and we get it. But if you wait to feel good, and you wait to feel motivated enough to finish...it will never get done. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors!

How would future you feel about the decisions you make each day? How would she respond to the issues happening in your life right now? Sometimes when we need answers, we look externally. We ask our family members and friends for advice. We need someone to motivate and inspire us. But the reality is, if we just took a minute to get quiet, and shut out the outside noise...we have the answers that we need. That if we could only take the time to imagine what a future version of ourselves would do, in a situation that we are currently in...in most cases we already have our answers. Younger you, will always serve as a reminder of how far you've come. But future you, the girl you will one day become...will always serve as the blueprint.

Stop putting limits on yourself sis. Stop putting limits on your abilities, on your ideas, limiting your creativity, and putting a cap on what you think you can do. Better yet, stop putting a cap on what you think God can do. There is no limit, on the dreams that you have sis. Just because someone else's life looks big and grand, that doesn't mean you can't have big and grand too. Don't let negative thoughts and negative beliefs trick you out of the dreams, visions, and goals God has placed on the inside of you. They are yours. Always has been, always will be.

When you don't know the answers to everything in your life, anything is possible in your life. When you feel lost and not sure about your next move, it can be frustrating. But it's okay to feel a little lost sometimes boo. Sometimes we know exactly what we want but we have no clue how or when we're going to get there. One thing is for sure, a season of uncertainty will always bring forth a season of clarity. Just keep praying, waiting, and working....until you get there. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors!

You may not be at the exact place you want to be in life right now, but you certainly aren't where you started. Sometimes we get so focused on the future that we forget to appreciate our past.

You can either pay now for what you want sis, or end up paying for it in the future. The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of a current situation. We all want our lives to look a certain way, but aren't always willing to be disciplined enough to get it. We want to reach new levels within our business, our careers, our families, and even our personal lives but we don't like the discomfort of getting there. It's not the first time you will be uncomfortable and it certainly won't be your last. But only you will know how much your dreams, goals, and desires...are truly worth.

Although we'd all like to be wined & dined and for someone else to take care of us for the rest of our lives....the peace of mind you get when you have your own is unmatched sis. Whether that be your own place, your own car, your own bank account, your own opinions, your own ideas, and even your own identity. Something that no one can take away from you. Do not ever be out in these streets, and the only things you have are the things that people gave you. You can be vulnerable and soft and still be bold and fiercely independent too.

A lot of us are getting overwhelmed when we try to focus on everything, all at the same time. Then we end up overthinking it, and end up doing nothing at all. But it's simple sis. If you could focus on one thing for the next 6 months to a year, what would life look like for you? The problem is, we're all in a hurry trying to get "there", and we're trying to run towards all the things we want to do instead of just taking one simple step at a time. You will get there sis. But only if you shut out the noise, stop trying to rush everything, and just focus one one thing at a time. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors! Get 50% off plus free shipping when you try HelloFresh!

Time to check in! Are you on track with your goals this year? Are you burnt out, or maybe need to pivot? Remember, the more you grow and change, the more your dreams will grow and change. This week Ashley takes us through her goal setting (& executing) process, and how to build a life around your goals, and not your goals around your life. Having some control over your life, and not just drifting wherever life takes you. The only person that can make things happen for yourself sis...is you.

There is always something to be thankful for sis. Even in the things that don't work out, the things that worry you or bother you...there is always something to be grateful for. Because what you think, is what you see. If you keep your mind in a bad place, that is where it will stay. No matter how good life may be going, or if you're in a tough season...challenges will always present themselves. But it's how you choose to look at those challenges, how you choose to talk about those challenges, how you choose to approach them...is what makes all the difference.

There are people in your life that genuinely, authentically, and deeply love you...just for who you are. So why are you so pressed about the people that don't? Why keep making space, for people, for things in your life, that no longer serve you? People that no longer uplift you? Stop giving life to something that should have died out a long time ago sis.

You asked, and she's answering! Ashley answers your questions, and shares her experience with being afraid to take new opportunities, working through fear and anxiety, how to deal with negative family members, and much more. She talks how to let go of things that no longer serve you, taking small steps to create something meaningful, and even shares some great advice she got from a therapist! Thanks To Today’s Sponsors!

You have to know how much you're worth, and not be afraid to ask for the things that you want. Other people, jobs, companies, and brands have no problem telling you what they want. Stop being scary, and start telling others what you want too. Reciprocity, is how we're moving sis. Accommodations require accommodation. You cannot continuously pour into everything and everybody, and nothing is pouring into you. It is important to serve others, but you are also not a public water fountain. Sorry...but...it needed to be said. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors! Today’s episode is sponsored by BetterHelp!

Why do you do what you do sis? Are you here to educate, to serve, to teach something, to lead by example, to change your life, to change your families life...why do you chase the dream? Or is it for likes, downloads, having a K next to your posts on social media, to be trendy, and popping for everybody else? Being recognized for your gift is complimentary sis, not mandatory. But if you stay focused, and keep going, and stop comparing where you measure up to others....the gift that you have and the purpose that you were given is bigger than any like, view, download, or compliment that you could ever receive.

There will be times in our lives where we have tons of friends, our calendar is full of events, and our lives feel full. There is a reason for that season. But there will also be times where our lives where it's just us. We don't have a lot of friends, we don't relate anymore to the people we used to relate to, and we feel separated. We feel isolated, and there is a reason for that season too. With separation, comes elevation sis. Your growth is not a group project. Sometimes it will take a season of just you, a season of doing it alone, a season of separation to get yourself there. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

Sometimes we will find ourselves in a season of uncertainty. We don't know what's next, we don't know what the outcome will be to a certain situation, we're not sure if our prayers will be answered. We get upset, and frustrated, and even disappointed because things aren't going the way that we planned. But good things take time sis, and God would never bring you this far, to only bring you this far. Sometimes while we're trying to figure it out, it's already been worked out, and we have to learn how to rest in that. To take a step back, and let God do what only He can do.

When you keep a plant in a small pot for too long, you stunt it's growth. Same goes for you sis.

Well well well...if it isn't SEASON 6 gracing us with her presence! Welcome back boo, we missed you!!!! (for real, for real) The last few years have been filled with ups and downs, trials and triumphs, and sis....you did that. But this season is personal. This era is personal. And you can't afford to move how you used to move, think how you used to think, or act how you used to act. It's time to do something different. Whatever you did up until this point, good job....but what else you got? What else are you capable of? What else can you do? It was your audacity that got you to the doors you wanted to get to. But it is your authority....that will kick them in. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors! Today’s episode is sponsored by BetterHelp!

Sometimes, you can’t afford to wait for an opportunity to fall into your lap. You can’t always wait for a door to be opened for you sis. Sometimes…you have to kick it in.

As we wrap up another year, don’t start evaluating all the things that you did not get to do. Do not, for one second, try to add up where you stand next to everyone else this year. Accomplishments come and go sis. But you are forever. The girl that you were earlier this year, last year, and years before – is not the same woman listening today. She has new goals, new dreams, and new values. That is an accomplishment within itself. As we go into this next chapter, and this new season…with new goals and aspirations. Keep doing exactly what you do best sis….you. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors! Today’s episode is sponsored by Nike! Check out the Nike Go Leggings at Nike.com! Slay Girl Slay is sponsored by BetterHelp!

Sometimes you have to let go, and trust that things will work out the way that they need to. If it worked out beautifully before, it will work out beautifully again. The things that are big to us, are nothing to Him. And we have to learn how to step back, and stop trying to fight all of our battles, take all of our wins…and let God be exactly who He is….God. Sometimes life, sometimes your circumstances, and situations have to feel impossible…for God to show you that anything is possible. Let go sis….and trust that if He blessed you before, that you will be blessed again. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors! Today’s episode is sponsored by Nike! Check out the Nike Go Leggings at Nike.com!

Just like we always know the leaves will change in the fall, and that the flowers will always bloom in the spring. That your time to bloom…will always come too. That there will always be a time in your life that you will produce new things, new seasons, new glory, new life, and new experiences too. No matter what life is looking like right now for you, something good is always on its way to you. But it takes patience sis. Patience with the dreams you have. Patience with the process you have to go through to get there. But most of all…it takes patience….with yourself. Thanks To Today’s Sponsors! Today’s episode is sponsored by Nike!

Life is already tough as it is sis. Don’t make it harder, by criticizing yourself. Criticizing your looks, your thoughts, your decisions…let it go. Allow yourself to just be yourself. Sometimes people, family, and even friends will say something to you, that will make you question who you are. The things that they say will make you question yourself, and who you’ve decided to be. But there is no version of you that will make everyone on this earth happy. The only person, that you can truly make happy….is you. Let people feel whatever they need to feel. But remember to put your feelings…first. Check Out The Merch! Get your official Slay Girl Slay Podcast merch at shopslaygirlslay.com!

There is more to your life than what you’ve already seen sis. Sometimes we get so focused on our day to day, our to do lists, and responsibilities that we forget to look at the bigger picture, that is our life. There is so much more to who you are, there is more of what you will do, more of what you will see, and more of what you will experience. You are not here by chance sis. Just like the stars and the moon in the sky, you were made with intention. Do not ever forget that.

You can make 100 plans and have 100 things to do, but that means nothing if you don’t have your priorities together. The year is coming to an end, and now is the time (before the turkey & the holiday shopping of course) to sit down and think about what you want the next 12 months of your life to look like. A lot can happen in a year sis, but only if you make your dreams, goals and ambitions a priority. Sometimes we make things, people, relationships, situations, and even feelings more important than they need to be. As we go into this next season…this next era….what will be most important to you?

Your life can sometimes be just like a puzzle: some pieces are together in one corner, and a a few pieces together in another. But there’s still a pile of things that you haven’t connected yet, pieces that are still in the box. In life, when you take a leap of faith, and follow your heart – the results don’t happen right away, you can’t see the full picture. Sometimes we find ourselves in a waiting season, still trying to put pieces of our lives together, and trying to see what will fit. But sis, if no one told you, let us remind you: what’s next for you, will be what’s best for you. Over the course of your life, you have only gotten better, and better, and better. And if you could only just keep going, keep pushing, and putting the pieces together, you will see that what comes next is better than what you were even expecting. We’ve Added Some New Merch!

When you find yourself living in a dream you once had, or you’ve accomplished a huge goal, it can be both beautiful & ugly sometimes. Everything in life has a price boo, and we’re not just talking about dollars and cents. The life you want to have, you will have to pay for it in some way. And sometimes that price can feel very expensive. But don’t get it twisted sis….just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean you can’t afford it. If something was placed on your heart to do, then it is there for a reason. You are equipped to handle whatever your dreams, goals and ambitions may cost you sis. Always have been, always will be.

The words you speak to others and most importantly to yourself, have power sis. The things you say out loud have the power to make you or break you, and you have to be mindful about what you speak. The words that you speak become the house that you live in, and if you wake up speaking from an awful, negative, ugly place – then that is where your mind will stay. If you wake up, and speak of all the good, of the change you see coming, of the light you see in every dark place, the good you want to feel…then that is where your mind will stay.

Hold on to that vision of yours sis, like your life depends on it. The vision you have for yourself, for your future, for your family – hold on to it, and do not ever let it go.

Never settle for anything, just because it’s available sis. If you settle for less than what you rightfully deserve, then you will get less than what you rightfully deserve. Whether you are choosing to be single, in a relationship, married or divorced – it is still a journey. And sometimes other people won’t understand that journey. But sis, hold on to your values. Hold on to your worth. Hold on to the vision that you see for yourself. And do not ever settle, for any person, place or thing…until you get exactly what you were looking for. It’s Official!

Contrary to popular belief, your confidence can not be purchased sis. You can not find your confidence in the makeup aisle at Sephora. It can not be found in your likes and views on your social media. Confidence isn’t in what other people think about you, but most importantly how you think about yourself. It’s about how beautiful YOU think you are. It’s about how smart YOU think you are, or capable, or good enough…we can keep going. Confidence is about how you see yourself sis. And the more you start to confirm and reaffirm who you are, the less you’ll need others to. It’s Official! We’ve Got Merch! Get your official Slay Girl Slay Podcast merch at shopslaygirlslay.com!

A blessing can change your life in the most beautiful way, but sometimes blessings…can be heavy sis. Often times the big opportunities, the moments that change our lives, the blessings that we work for – don’t look so good in the beginning. We think that these opportunities and moments will make our lives feel good immediately, and everything will make sense, and all will be aligned. But most times…it’s the opposite. Some blessings…come with a tremendous cost and a tremendous sacrifice. But it would not have been given to you, if it was not for you. You would not have reached this point in your life, this moment, and this season…if you were not mean to. We want to hear your story!

Sometimes it feels like we are going to break, right before a breakthrough. Often times right before everything starts to come together, it feels like your world is coming apart. Today, we just wanted to remind you that it’s okay. One day, you’ll look back and be glad that you didn’t stop.

Some of you are still waiting to move forward with your ideas, out of fear that it won’t happen the way that you want it to. Some of you are holding back on your plans, because you want it to be perfect before you get started. We’re not the experts, but sis…you can’t be a NY Times Bestseller – without a first draft…you know? You can’t be an Oscar winning actress, without a first audition. Those are just examples, but the point is, the outcome isn’t what matters at first. It doesn’t matter who likes what you do, or how you do it. What matters…is that you sit yourself down…and just start it. It’s Official! We’ve Got Merch! Get your official Slay Girl Slay Podcast merch at shopslaygirlslay.com!

You have to be super mindful about not just the things that make you happy, but even more mindful about the things that don’t. Protecting your peace, gives you a peace of mind sis. What good is achieving your goals and dreams if you don’t have the peace to enjoy them? What good is getting a bag, if you don’t have the peace to enjoy it? Some of us are working hard and finally starting to make moves in our lives – but constantly giving people, family, friends, coworkers the rights to take our peace away.

You can’t control what happens next, but you can do your best to be prepared for it. Planning for your life, your business, and even your family is just preparation. Preparing for the things you want to happen, and sometimes preparing for the things that you don’t. Anything can happen, and there is always a chance that it will…but your plans, keep you prepared, in the event that they do. What plans are you making right now sis, and in the event that those plans fall through – what’s next? Because it’s better to have a plan and not need it, than to need it….and not have it.  Thanks To Today’s Sponsors!

It’s a lot going on in the world right now, or maybe it’s a lot going on in your life and it’s easy to feel hopeless. But no matter what’s happening to and around you, make a decision to get up, and get yours anyway sis. You make the decision for what comes next in your life. You make the decision for how you want to move forward. Do not let people, family, friends, society, or whoever dictate the very gift, and the very essence of who you are.

The more you work, the more progress you make. But also, the closer you get to burning out. You can’t always be “on” sis. You are not a machine. Sometimes being unproductive is just as important as being productive, and this week we’re showing you how. No matter what’s on your plate, no matter how many responsibilities you have or the number of your to do lists – you deserve to rest. You can’t keep achieving more, without taking a step back, and doing less. If you needed a sign (or permission) to take a step back, and take a break – here it is. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

Remember 12 year old you? What you looked like? What you struggled with? Before you start beating yourself up today about how you’re not getting anywhere in life, or mad at yourself because you don’t feel like you’re making progress and your life is going nowhere – remember your 12 year old self. Believe it or not, you’re doing much better than you think you are sis. If you take a minute and remind yourself of your past – you might end up making yourself proud of all that you’ve become today.

No friction, no growth sis. No challenges, means no wins. Maybe the current challenge you are facing, is preparing you for a blessing that you’ve been waiting for. God will literally change your life, to accommodate the blessings that He has for you. But in order to accommodate for the things that you want, He has to move some things around in your life, make changes, remove some things, stretch some things, and put you through a process….to make room for them. Sometimes, in your toughest moments – you are being molded, shaped, and prepped into who you need to be to fully embrace, accept, and appreciate all the things that you are meant to have. You don’t deserve the hard challenges you face boo. But you do deserve to live the life you dream of.  Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

The reality is, bad things happen sis. Sometimes they happen to us, and sometimes they happen around us. But it’s our job to not let it get the best of us. Do not let bad situations, bad people, bad experiences, ruin the very good that is you. If you are still here, there is still time to love the people who love you, create the things you want to create, dream what you want to dream, and go to the places you want to go. That deserves the very best of you sis…and nothing else. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel! Join Our Membership!

So many changes happening in our world! Thank you for such a great season, and cheers to this finale episode. Sometimes you have to give up something great, to gain something even better. Big dreams come with big sacrifices, and either you’re going to make those dreams come true, with all the sacrifices you may have to make, with all the tears you may have to shed, with all the wins and losses that come with it, or watch somebody else do it. It’s now or never sis. Do what you have to do now, to get to where you ultimately want to be. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

Tis’ the season boo! This holiday will be quite different for everyone, but taking steps to take care of ourselves is they key.

This week Ashley is giving her best self love habits to take care of yourselves over the holiday. Why?

You may not be finishing the year the way you planned, but you can still finish the year with some joy. Even though you may not have hit your sales goal this year, went on that vacation you planned, or finished that book you wanted to write, finishing the year with your sanity and peace of mind is an accomplishment within itself. The last 317ish (who’s counting?) days have been rough for everyone, but finding some joy in the spaces that you live in, and getting rid of the things that no longer make you happy, can be just enough to finish the year strong.

Reflecting on what it was like last week waiting for the election results to come in, Ashley talks about how fear and anxiety can paralyze us when we are waiting for something we want. As much as we want to control situations in our life, the reality is we can’t. We can’t control everything that happens to us. Some things are completely out of our hands, and guess what boo? Sometimes not knowing the answer, and patiently waiting, is 100% okay. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

Just because people don’t see you out here working, doesn’t mean you’re not out there getting the job done. Just because people don’t see you securing the bag, doesn’t mean the bag hasn’t been secured. Don’t let social media punk you into believing that you have to post everything, to prove everything. Your purpose in life is not attached to likes on Facebook, or the comments on Instagram. What people think of you, has nothing to do with you boo. Keep growing, achieving, and smashing your goals the way you want to – whether someone is watching or not. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

How many times have we started doing one thing, and then jumped into doing something else? Started a blog, a business, a non profit, a new career path – but then jumped into doing school programs, teaching, writing a new book, a new YouTube channel, and so on. That’s just an example boo, but it’s so easy for us to get excited about starting a new project or goal, and then think of all the new ideas and opportunities that present themselves to us. We can’t ever cross the finish line one one project and see the results we worked for, if we keep starting over with something new. Timing is everything, sis. We’re celebrating our 100th episode soon! Celebrate with us by sending us your questions and/or comments to be read by Ashley on the 100th episode! Ask your questions here Boo!

When we have a new idea, or embark on a new journey, somehow in our minds we only see the end product. We forget all the steps and phases we have to go through to get there. We forget that there is a process to everything. With anything that you do, you’re not going to just come out of the gate swinging with your best work. It takes time, patience, work, more time, a little more patience, and you not willing to give up just because things don’t look the way you want them to. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

Whether you realize it or not, we are all authors of our own stories. Every day when we wake up, we are deciding what type of character we are going to be. The gift you were born with can come in any shape, size, or form. What you choose to do with that gift, is what matters the most. Not all heroes wear capes sis. Look in the mirror, and recognize that you too can be the hero of your own story – that is if you allow yourself to be. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

If you can change your mind boo, you can change your life. It’s never too late to start fresh. It’s never too late to change the narrative about something negative, and find the positive. This year has been a whirlwind, but it’s not over. Your dreams, goals, and desires for success are not over. The game is only over when you stop playing sis. It’s time to get up, dust yourself off, and finish this year the way you intended to finish it. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

Sometimes we’re so focused on just trying to get to a “good place”, that we don’t open our eyes and see the good place we are already standing in. You can’t get so wrapped up into crossing the finish line that you fail to realize how blessed and fortunate you are to even be running in that direction. Life comes at you fast boo, but slow down and take each day as it comes. Enjoy every moment, that you have been given. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

Sometimes the situations you find yourself in, and the outcomes you’re waiting for will happen the way that they are supposed to happen, and when they are supposed to happen. That means that there will be moments of your life where you can only do what you can do – and the rest is no longer up to you boo. A lot of us are trying to control things that we have no power in controlling. But instead of running yourself ragged, freaking out, and stressing – stop worrying about the “when” and shift your focus to the “how”…and then…just keep riding that wave until you get there.

The friends that you have today, may not be the friends that you have tomorrow. As you evolve and change, the people around you evolve and change too – and sometimes they don’t grow in the same directions that you’re growing. It can be tough making new friends as an adult, but you set the standards for your life…even within your friendships. We all have experienced jealousy, competition, and “weird energy” within our friend groups, that show us maybe the friends we have aren’t so great. But while you’re out looking for those great friends, that support you, add value to your life, and genuinely love you – remember great friendships…start with you. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

Some of you are sitting on some really dope ideas. Some of you have been wanting to step it up, and take your business to the next level. Take your projects and creativity to the next level. Take your life, to the next level. But you have not moved, because you are concerned with whether or not the world, your peers, your family, or your audience….will be pleased with what you do. But the reality is, you can’t please everybody sis. If who you are, and what you do is your best? Then who you are, and what you do…is enough. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

A lot of us know, what will ultimately make us happy. We know the things that we need to do to bring us happiness…but because there’s so many steps, and so many changes that we have to make to get there…we put it off. Doing things that bring us joy can sometimes be an inconvenience. It takes time out of our day, and not a regular part of our schedules. But sis….happiness is a choice. Happiness is not found at the end of the journey that you are on. In most cases…happiness can be found right where you are. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

It’s okay to be disappointed that your life doesn’t look the way you thought it would by now. But never forget, we live life on our own terms sis. Not by the terms of your family. Not by the terms of your friends, and certainly not by the terms of society. Don’t feel bad because you haven’t checked all the “life boxes” that you thought you should have checked by now. No matter what age you are, no matter what season you’re in, if it didn’t happen before today, it wasn’t supposed to happen before today. But the good news is…you still have a lot of life…to live.

It’s looking like a season finale boo! Listen, there is something that only you can do in this lifetime that has the power to change your life, and the lives of those around you. All of us were born with a gift, and whether we use it or not is up to us. But the purpose you are seeking sis, the accomplishments you’re striving for, the love and validation you want, the security you may be looking for, the happiness that you are after, can be found in the gifts that you were born with. Your gift will make room for you boo…if you step aside, and allow it to. Join us this Wednesday, December 15th at 7:00pm CT as we go LIVE on Instagram to celebrate the end of Season 4!!

All of us, are waiting for something to happen in our lives. Waiting for life changing news, a significant other, a booming business, literally the list goes on. But instead of being anxious and worrying about what’s going to happen in the future and trying to chase down answers you don’t have yet, focus on all the things that make your life beautiful right now. Do not get weary, while in your waiting season sis. You deserve the good things that are coming. And whatever you are waiting for will one day come too….but only if you sit back, and allow it to.

Most of the time we get excited about growing into the person we’ve dreamed of, and accomplishing our wildest dreams, but we don’t really sit down and think about how much we’re going to have to do (or go through) to get there. For every goal you are focused on, there is a blindspot that you can not see boo. When it comes to our dreams and goals, we tend to believe in only the things that get us excited, and we don’t acknowledge the things that might disrupt us along the way. But your blindspots can become roadblocks if you do not pay attention to them. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

Everyone will not love who you are and what you do. The real question is, do you though? Your gifts, talents, ideas, and all the things that make you the bomb person that you are, will not be for everybody. No matter how hard you work at something, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t please everyone sis. There will always be someone that will refuse to pick up what you’re putting down.

Life has a way of grabbing us by the edges, and hitting us when we least expect it. No matter how great you may be feeling, life can just punch you out of nowhere. But at some point, when you’ve had enough, you have to learn how to look life square in the eye and fight back. Life will always be life, but most importantly you will always be you. So if you’re feeling down, if you’re feeling sad, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, grief, or all of the other things that we have to deal with – put them dukes up sis.

Sometimes we don’t like enforcing boundaries because that means we might have to say something we don’t want to say to someone. We don’t want to hurt their feelings, and we don’t want to sour the relationship so the boundary is never enforced. But as we know, boundaries are not for them sis, boundaries are for you. Speaking up for yourself is a way of setting a boundary. But what matters the most, is not what you say…but how you say it. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

It can be scary standing up for yourself, and speaking up for what you want. You don’t want to upset anyone and you don’t want them to look at you in a negative way. But at some point sis, you can’t keep setting yourself on fire to keep others warm. You can’t keep bending, and letting others bulldoze over you. When you speak up for yourself, you may lose some people. You may lose some opportunities. Some things may not go the way that you planned. But guess what you did not lose? Yourself.

You can’t do everything, with everybody sis. When you elevate in life, not everyone in your circle will elevate with you. As you seek new levels of growth in your life, and as you go after new experiences, sometimes you might have to do them alone. This level, this journey, and this experience is yours, and yours alone.

Some days you feel super confident and beautiful, and just feeling yourself, and literally the next day you can feel raggedy. Some days you can feel like you are in perfect alignment, and you love your life, and you love where it’s going, and the next day can feel completely opposite. Both days you are still the same perfect you. Don’t let negative thoughts, self hate, and comparison keep you from accomplishing everything you set out to do. You have a goal, get to it sis.

When we feel like we’re not progressing, and not doing as good as we think we should be doing – we find ourselves wishing we “had it all together”. But wishing we had it all together, or believing in this false sense of perfection is doing more harm than good sis. There is no destination we arrive to in life where everything makes perfect sense. There is no time where everything in our lives will be in perfect balance. We are in a constant state of evolving boo, and with every new level of achievement, comes a new hurdle to jump over.
