Hey Reader heeeyyyy! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was beautiful. We spent it in Baltimore celebrating my nephew’s first trip around the sun — and for nearly 48 hours… I barely looked at my phone. And honestly? It felt AMAZING. Which was especially meaningful because the the past week I had been sitting with a couple questions inspired by this thought: "Time multiplies whatever you feed it." I heard that while listening to an episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast, and my immediate...

Hey Reader heeeyyyy! Happy FriYAYYYYY! 💃🏾 So I don’t want to start this off heavy – but I’ve been thinking about this all day… Convenience kills. That might sound dramatic — but stay with me for a moment. This reflection actually started with a totally real and very ordinary mom moment. Earlier today, I was cutting grapes for my 20-month-old daughter’s morning snack. As I sliced them in half, I noticed something strange. It’s weird looking, right? 😆 lol One grape had a couple of holes in the...

Hey Reader heeeyyyy! Happy FriYAYYYYY! 💃🏾 How has your week been? Last week stretched me — in the best way. And even though I was exhausted, so much of it felt like affirmation, confirmation, and God giving me the “green light” to do something new (more on that later). Three cities.Three very different rooms.One recurring theme: Alignment. It started with sitting — on a panel with the women of my church, talking about what it means to “Ask Jesus ANYTHING.” The honesty in that room.The...

Hey Reader heeeyyyy! “I made a vow to myself that I would never take another job for title or pay.” Those were the words shared by Dr. Tonya Harris Cornileus on the latest episode of the JOYrney To Purpose® Podcast. This was my reaction after she finished that sentence. When she said it — I immediately felt it in my bones. Because I made a similar promise to myself at 23. But let me back up. I‘ve been reflecting a lot, and if there’s one thing I’m grateful I did in my 20s, it was this: I...

Hey Reader heeeeey – and Happy FriYAYYYYY! 💃🏾 Remember a couple weeks ago, I shared my Top 5 wins from 2025 — the faith stretches, the milestones, the growth moments? Well, today I want to take you behind-the-scenes and share something more important: The discipline behind the JOY. Because one of the biggest misconceptions about JOY at work is that it’s soft, fleeting, or circumstantial. If you’re stepping into this year with good intentions — for your home, your work, your health, your...

Hey Reader heeeeyyyy! Let me ask you something… Is your job actually wearing you out — or is it the fact that you’re managing two full-time roles at once? To the point where it leaves you internally feeling like 2017 Tyrese and asking… Because whether you’re working a 9–5, between jobs, or fully committed to staying home right now…you’re still on somebody’s clock. And here’s the part so many moms quietly live with 😬Even when there’s no paycheck attached — you’re clocked in. You’re managing:•...

Hey Reader heeeeyyyy! As we stand on the edge of a new year, I’ve been reflecting — not on everything I did in 2025, but on who I was becoming as I walked through it. Last year, I felt nudged to rethink how I approached vision casting.I still love a good vision board — but 2025 invited me into something different.Something more spacious. More JOY-led. So instead of goals alone, I paid attention to fruit. My #VisionBingo board for 2025… 2026 is loading! Here are my Top Five from 2025 — not as...

Hey Reader heeeeyyyy! Christmas week is officially over and the new year is right around the corner — cue the cocoa, cookies… and the creeping overwhelm of “New Year, New You” Resolutions. But before we get there, just in case you need it – let me share a small but freeing truth: Overwhelm isn’t a sign you’re failing.It’s a sign that your JOY rhythms (and systems!) could use a reset. So if you only take one thing from this note, let it be this:Keep it simple. “Are you ready for Christmas?”...
