Hey Reader,

If you've ever wondered what my "productive" mornings look like, let me paint you a picture...👇🏿

My husband, Nick, is an innate early riser. We’re talking daily 6 AM, 4-6 mile runs… for fun. (Yeah, he’s 'bout that life. lol.)

Every morning, I watch in admiration — so inspired by his consistency around getting up early. So, at the start of 2025, I declared:

✨ This is my year to become a 5:30 AM wake-up workout "girlie." ✨

And for five weeks straight? I snoozed. Later and later each day. Except for three. 😅

If you've ever fallen off track (or you’re currently dragging your feet), this is your reminder:
👉🏾 It’s not too late to reset and recommit to your vision!

Why Vision Matters

Your vision isn’t just a dream — it’s a blueprint for success. It impacts everything — from your personal habits to how you lead at home and at work.

One of my favorite scriptures comes from Habbakuk 2:2-3, and it highlights the benefits and importance of having VISION.

VISION CREATES:​
✅ Clarity – Knowing where you’re going
✅ Direction – Identifying the right steps to take
✅ Alignment – Making sure your actions match your priorities

And ultimately? Vision leads to action. And clear action leads to YOUR version of success.

​

At the start of this year, I set a few JOY-led intentions (you know I don’t do “goals” — too much pressure 😉 lol):

• Becoming a Morning Person – Prioritizing solo time before my kids wake up to focus on my body & mind.
• Building a Faith-Filled Community – Deepening my relationship with God & encouraging others through scripture.
• Less Business, More Play – Focusing on building authentic relationships instead of constant promotion.

And a few weeks in? I fell off. (Legit just dabbling in a whole lot of messy distractions lol.)

​

But instead of beating myself up, on Monday I used my JOYrney™ Process to:
➡️ REDISCOVER my vision
➡️ RECONNECT with my purpose
➡️ RECOMMIT to my habits

The result? (Check it out💃🏽)

​

​
✅ Today (Wednesday) I'm 2 Days Strong into my 5:30 AM wake-up & gym routine and loving it! (Catch me in 90 days! 💪🏾😌)
✅ Almost done with my 36-Day Live Bible Reading Challenge (only 7 days to go!)
✅ Re-engaging my podcast with amazing guests I can’t wait to share with you!
✅ Laser-focused on working with my dream clients: Healthcare & Maternal Health Organizations (Know any I should connect with? Please send 'em my way!)

But enough about me. The point is: VISION is a foundation for momentum.

​

Now, Let’s Talk About YOU.

• What’s your vision for 2025?
• How’s it holding up?
• What’s one thing keeping you from moving forward?

Hit reply and let me know — I’d love to support you!
