Social Connection

“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots” — Marcus Garvey

Hey Beautiful people today I thought I would change it up and balance all of this feminine energy by adding a little masculine energy to the pod. I want to introduce Terrell. Terrell and I connected via Instagram. One of the great things about social media is it allows us to connect with people around the world from our mobile devices. Lucky Terrell is just a regular guy from Brooklyn…. He told me to introduce him like that ahahaha.

Life- abundance

Love- boundless

Business- savvy

Say Less, Do More

Hey Beautiful people, it’s June. I thought it was a good time to do another solo episode and check in with you guys. As you know there are 12 months in a year so we’re at the point in the year when we need to check-in with our selves. With that being said I have 6 tips to help you continue on your  journey:

• Self Care is a non-negotiable for me.  There are certain things I need to do for myself and I no longer feel the need to explain nor apologize for them. What are your non-negotiables ?

• Money is the motive. Now granted all money isn’t good money but we still need it. Like Beyonce said the best revenge is your paper so I’m tryna get it you should be too. We’re building a legacy so multiple streams is a must have.

• Relationships… are the people around you build with you or find ways to make your journey more challenging?

• Are you on target with your personal and professional goals right now? A few episodes back I talked about how I write down  what’s important to my professional and personal life. Sometimes I need to go back over my list and reread what I wrote and then ask myself.

• Make time for recreation. 

• Remember your “Why “

The 2018 Wrap Up

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” ― Aristotle

Hello friends today is January 1st 2019. Can you believe it? Well I can and am so grateful to be here living another day. While everyone is busy  working on their resolutions for the year I like to take a moment to acknowledge what I accomplished and learned in the previous year.   I started writing my accomplishments down back when I first started the Beauty & Soul Podcast 2 years ago. It’s amazing to see how much we are able to accomplish with a little drive and determination. Now I have to say the purpose of the podcast is to share the B- side of Life, Love, and Business so here’s what I learned: 

Life

Start living.

Recently I started teaching English as a second language to students around the world and I am learning so much about different cultures. I can tell you this no matter if you live in America, Brazil, Turkey, or Africa we all are overcoming similar struggles. We all have a desire to be the best version of ourselves. 

This year I decided to treat myself to my first solo vacation. I’m so excited! I’ve been on the go doing a million things over the past couple years. I am over due for a break. This year do something you’ve never done, step out of the box, and live your life unapologetically. 

Love

 Love doesn’t always come the way you think it will.

In 2018 I received so much love from the people I know were picked to be on my journey with me, yet none of them are romantic relationships and I’m okay with that. I have some of the best friends I could ever ask for. Sometime the person we need is already beside us. 

Business

I learned the importance of saving money, making sure I have multiple streams of income and investing in myself for the future.

I think I’ve been in hibernation mode since January of 2018 and I wouldn’t change a thing. Sometimes it’s important to sit down,  put your head down and get to work.  The older version of yourself will thank you for the sacrifice.

If you’re looking for ways to create multiple streams of income start by looking at yourself. What hidden talents do you have? Just make a plan to set yourself up for success you deserve it.  

You never know where a really great song might take you.

This year let’s do our best to get to know ourselves and stay focused on what is important to our growth, mind body and soul. Happy New Year and I wish you all peace, love and prosperity.
