Affirmation: I am not perfect and that's okay.
Affirmation: I am not perfect and that's okay.

I am not perfect, and that's okay.
I am not perfect and that’s okay.

I am not perfect and I do not expect myself to be perfect. We are all under construction and that knowledge requires acceptance that I will make mistakes. I am ok with that.

I have high hopes for my family and friends and I do what I can to help them to develop their talents and dreams. Yet, I do not expect that they will instantly achieve success, I realize that they are works-in-progress, and I delight in each step they take.   I am constantly thrilled and amazed at my circle of influence’s enthusiasm for learning and growth.

I treat myself with the same respect and appreciation. Although it’s true that I am no longer a child, I will always be learning and growing. I do not have unrealistic expectations; instead, I am challenge myself to push further.

Being imperfect gives me an incentive to work harder toward my goals and dreams. In doing so, I stretch out of my comfort zone and I applaud myself for taking risks. I take these risks because I know that any mistakes I make will only make me stronger and wiser. And I know I do not have the make the same mistakes ever again.

I let go of the need to appear perfect to others. Letting go of perfection leads to deeper and more authentic relationships. It also leads me to greater health and less stress.

When I am open to seeing my imperfections for what they are, I can accurately gauge my strengths and weaknesses. In doing so, I am able to develop strategies that focus on my strengths and not my weaknesses.

Things to make you say, hmmmm:

  1. In what areas do you limit yourself with unrealistic expectations?
  2. Do you give yourself permission to be “under construction?”
  3. How do you respond when you make a mistake?

We've already established that 2020 did not go acc We've already established that 2020 did not go according to plan and 2021 may not follow the script either. So many things are uncertain and anything BUT business as usual. What I know for sure, though, is why I got into coaching in the first place. I have a real passion for helping women reconnect with the best part of themselves and build their confidence based on who they are.  And I am committed, come what may, to help my clients create plans for their lives that are real and attainable and fit them like a glove. How can I help you in 2021, friend?
How do you get yourself motivated on a Monday morn How do you get yourself motivated on a Monday morning? For me, meditating and having a leisurely cup of tea with almond milk creamer is a great start to my day.  But not until I’ve listened to my theme song! (I Wrote My Way Out from Hamilton, the Mixtape version). My theme song changes from time to time but it always gets me excited about the day and dancing in my seat. I absolutely LOVE what I do, but sometimes I just need a little extra time to get in the right frame of mind before spending the day being a mirror for others. So how about you? I want to hear how you motivate yourself… maybe it will inspire others in the comments!
Did you get enough sleep last night? No? Well, don Did you get enough sleep last night? No? Well, don't be afraid to get back in bed, sis, sleep is magical! I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for reasons to sleep late because I sometimes can't resist staying up even though I need my sleep. Like the other night when I stayed up until 4:20a binge-watching the 3rd season of Star Trek: Discovery. Yes, I did that. What's the last show that made you lose sleep?
Raise your hand if 2020 looked anything like the p Raise your hand if 2020 looked anything like the plans you made for it at the end of last year! Yeah? Me neither. But you know what? I never would have guessed I’d have grown my coaching practice 3-fold as a result of a global pandemic and shutdown. I learned my flexibility and ability to pivot is critical to being happy and successful and that I can survive just about anything and continue finding joy and laughter. What unexpected lessons did you discover in 2020? And what’s in the plans for ’21?
Are you ready to scream if someone asks you for ON Are you ready to scream if someone asks you for ONE MORE THING? Here's a quick solution: Say No. You can say yes to all the things that matter, IF you say no to the things that don't. You can't do everything. Let me say that again, you cannot do everything. Did I hear a sigh of relief? Good. All that stuff that isn't important right now? Let it go. I'm becoming a 'let it go' ninja. Who's with me?
Just as there are seasons throughout the year, the Just as there are seasons throughout the year, there are seasons throughout our lives that change too. When this year began, I have a pretty rigid set of expectations. Ha! Fooled me! I'm not mad because I'm now in a completely different space, knowing that by bending I won't break. Flexible is the name of the game, staying on the balls of my feet.  I’m so grateful for these changes, because it’s a reminder that nothing lasts forever. What season are you in today?
Low self-confidence isn't a life sentence. Why do Low self-confidence isn't a life sentence. Why do we think a circumstance has to last forever? It doesn't. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One of the best things about my coaching programs (besides getting to frolic with me, the original Chief Encouragement Officer) is the boost in self-confidence you'll experience. I know how to help you tap into all your strengths and skills and remember how awesome you are!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
