4 Truths from the Mary J Blige Doc I Need You To Hear Jun 28, 2021

Show notes

Hey, hey!

Sistren, the MJB My Life documentary is up on Amazon Prime. You need to run, not walk, over to the TV or your nearest streaming device, put it on and get your entire life.

There were so many take aways for me, including the apalledness I felt (I'm not even sure if apalledness is a real word) when hearing about K-Ci's role in her story. But today we aren't talking about that. Today I'm going to share 4 powerful notes I need you to hear and understand.

In this episode I'm talking about:

Why success isn't about how much money you have in the bank

Leaning into your "saving grace"

Seeing past the "physical"

Why you need to stop crapping on yourself

Be sure to share this episode with the important women in your inner circle.

Holding Space For Disbelief Kills Your Vision Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

Solo episode today! I recently experienced a woman walking completely and boldly in her vision and it was a sight to see. I've been telling myself for the last few months that I am ONLY walking in Faith and there is ZERO room for disbelief. Seeing this Queen do exactly that was an excellent reminder for me to keep building my table even if no one else is in the room to sit at it (yet).
