Hey hey, Reader! Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year?! 😮💨 We’re halfway through 2025 — and if your goals feel a little off or outdated… you’re not alone. If you’ve been feeling off-track, stuck, or unsure about your goals, consider this your mid-year permission slip to pause, reset… and pivot with JOY. Last week, I revisited my VISION B.I.N.G.O. board and had a moment of clarity: Some things I set out to do this year still deeply resonate. Others? Not so much. Yes, there’s...

Happy Hump Day, Reader! How is your month going? And while we’re at it… how’s your mental? We’re still in May — which means it’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and with the attention of Mother’s Day already far in our rear-view, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what it actually means to support women —especially those navigating motherhood and caregiving. 🥹 She selected this sign all on her own. 🥰 What’s on my mind today: The other day, I saw a TikTok from a well-known influencer in...

At the Friends School of Baltimore Campus w/ the fam - May 2025 Happy FriYAYYYYY, Reader! At The Friends School of Baltimore Campus w/ the fam - May 2025 May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Crazy – I know! 🙈 With this, and Mother’s Day just around the corner, I’ve been reflecting a lot on the journey I've been on the past 20 years of becoming a woman, and what emotional wellness looks like — especially for...

Happy FriYAYYYYY! 💎This Week’s #JOYGem 💎 You’re not forgotten. You’re being preparing for something greater than you imagined! Hey Reader, Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right… but God still hasn’t moved? Same. I know what it’s like to pray, prepare, stay faithful—and still feel like you’re sitting in the waiting room, wondering if your name will ever be called. But in this week’s Bible study, I was reminded of something powerful: Just because God isn’t moving doesn’t mean He...

Your past doesn’t disqualify you — it prepares you Hey Reader, Have you ever felt like parts of your story were too messy to be meaningful? Same here. 🙋🏾♀️ But a couple weeks ago, I was reminded (yet again) that God doesn’t waste anything—especially not the messy parts. You don’t need to be “fully ready” to walk in your purpose. In fact… your transformation is often the very thing that makes you ready. This week on the JOYrney To Purpose® Podcast, we’re looking at Acts 9— where Saul’s radical...

Hey Reader, I had a moment last year that I haven’t been able to shake. It reminded me why this JOYrney™ work matters — and how deeply we all need JOY right now. But before I share that story,. What does JOY look like for you right now? (At work, at home… even just in your day-to-day?) Think about that for a second. Whether you're a healthcare provider, a corporate leader, a mother/caregiver, or simply someone navigating big life transitions — burnout is real. And most of the time, we try to...

I hope today's JOYrney Mail™ serves as a reminder of how simply caring as you LIVE OUT YOUR PURPOSE can transform the lives and experiences of...

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...

It has been a minute since I’ve chatted with you last, but I hope today’s JOYrney Mail™ inspires you to try something new, do things a little different, and embrace something that you may find a little a little intimidating or unfamiliar! Let’s dive in! 😬 Hey there Reader, Have you thought about your vision or theme for 2025? It took me a while, but I finally landed on mine: SERVE. At first, I thought, “Haven’t I been serving all along?” But after seeking clarity,...
