Hi! ❤️ We arrived in California yesterday. Mom and I just attended an incredible personal development event in Denver, CO. Have you ever heard the quote that we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with? I really got to see the implications of that quote this past weekend. We…
“Does the energy last for the next 6 months? I know people who attended an event, and they could not sustain the momentum.” You have no idea how much those simple little words hit me. This was a person, who I was talking to about attending a personal growth event for entrepreneurs. Here’s the thing…
Mom and I are at a Mastermind in Las Vegas right now and it is incredible. I am excited and exhausted. My cup is full and so is my notebook. And as I am writing this post I am so done ‘peopling’. The last 48 hours – I have been pushed to, and pushed past…
Sometimes I completely blew my mom’s mind. I know that. She even would say to me that she totally didn’t get me, but nevertheless, she supported me. I admit, I have looked at her and wondered, how can we be so totally different and yet still be mother and daughter? It isn’t a lack of…

I have been learning from a lot of people lately. One of the people I have been learning from is Amanda Frances (xoamandafrances on all the social medias). Mom and I are taking her Money Mentality Makeover course right now. It’s incredible! But one of the things that I am learning how to do is…
Saturday, September 17, 2024 – that is just 2 years away. It is coming whether you plan for it or not. You may be thinking to yourself what the heck is on September 17, 2024?! And why do I need to be prepared? My answer is – honestly, I don’t know. I don’t know what…
Five years ago today was September 7th, 2017. I was 23 years old. I had just moved out of a halfway house, I had almost 2 years sober. I was renting a room from another woman in sobriety and we were preparing for a hurricane. I was working in a diner as a hostess and…
