​I have been going through a really tough time with a significant other for about two months now. This relationship has really tested my sanity. I’ve felt giddy, sad, aroused, angry, resentful, and even confused all from this one partner. My experience in this relationship contained enough emotional high energy frequency to trigger a dissociative disorder. If it wasn’t for me finally picking up my journal a couple days ago to release some of that energy, I think I would be in a mental institution by now.

Spiritual awakening? What is it? How do you know if you’ve experienced one? Well, I want to share my take on spiritual awakenings. It’s important you recognize and acknowledge spiritual growth since it increases your own self-awareness and, most importantly, it is a way of showing gratitude to yourself for the strides you’ve made. When we acknowledge ourselves, our self-confidence increases as well.

Food. It’s one thing we can’t live without. Yet, it’s one thing that can hurt our bodies if we are not careful. To start in an open and honest way, I would like to classify myself as a super foodie. I love food. I love trying a new meal. I love gathering with friends or family for dinner, brunch, lunch, breakfast, or even snacks. I just love food. Honestly, it doesn’t even matter what kind! I’ll try it all!! BUT this year I’ve had to take a hard look at my relationship with food and how I consume it. 

As much as we learn in school and from our environments, growing up, we don’t get to witness how business people operate in professional spaces or how entrepreneurs navigate their way through different business ventures. We learn certain social skills from others around us and how to perform certain functions, but many of us are blind to how much control we have over our professional mobility. Whether you are thinking about starting or expanding a business, wanting to increase revenue, looking to make a career change, negotiating a salary increase, desiring a promotion, or just simply trying to take your life to the next level, it helps to have a framework that defines what success looks like to you.

If you have ever experienced self-doubt, you’ve probably had a run-in with its sister—the imposter syndrome.  In fact, 70% of people encounter the imposter syndrome some time in their life. So that means it’s highly likely that Beyoncé, Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Roz Brewer all experienced the imposter syndrome at some time during their careers.
