22. The Myth of Tough Skin, Owning Your Wins and Losses, and Feeling Your Feelings
In this episode I get a little introspective about some recent wins and losses. It's important to understand that just because the wins come it doesn't the losses can't and won't follow. I also get into
Leaning into your softer side
Finding safe spaces, and
Being honest about your weaknesses
I was also featured on some really cool podcasts and radio shows!

21. Embracing Your Calling, Taking a Chance, and Being Okay with Disappointing Others
Life is about appreciating the journey and not getting caught up on the destination. Recently, I've been reflecting on how I've grown complacent with aspects of my life, my goals, and my professional career. In this episode I get into:
Trusting the timing and calling over your life
Getting comfortable with disappointing others
Lessons from Victoria Monet's Grammy wins
Understanding God's best versus what other people want for you
We have to have enough belief and faith in ourselves to trust that things are working out in our favor and for our highest good. Even if it takes a minute to see the vision, it's okay. Your life is your own and you are the only one who can live it for you.
Get ready for another great episode!
