Today has been one of those days. It’s been a day when I’ve been called to challenge myself in uncomfortable but meaningful ways.

Motivation…
The thing about life is that, sometimes, you find yourself in a season where you lose your drive, your mojo, well let’s call it what it is, your motivation. Ironically, given the title and essence of this blog is ALL ABOUT freaking motivation, that didn’t keep me immune to losing it. For me, in thisContinue reading “Motivation…”
Showing Up for You
The thing about being a woman, and specifically a woman in the middle of a pandemic, is that the motivation to take care of ones self is particularly draining.
