    Why Getting Triggered Is A Gift

    Send a text In this episode, I am talking about triggers and why they are not the enemy. We love to blame other people for how we feel, but the truth is, if something triggers you, it is showing you something that still needs your attention. Every reaction is a mirror. And when we react without thinking, we give our power away. I share how to pause instead of react, how to get curious instead of defensive, and why your next trigger might actually be telling you something deeper. If you are ready to stop pointing fingers and start doing the real inner work, this one is for you.

    The Mindset Behind Successful Caribbean Women

    Send us a text In this episode, I’m sitting down with Janine Edwards, a powerhouse from Anguilla who has helped build and guide some of the island’s most successful businesses. We talk about the mindset that sets you up for success. How to think bigger when you’re from a small place. How to move past scarcity. How to trust yourself, even when fear shows up. Janine shares how she stays grounded, how she connects people through Janine Connects, and what she believes Caribbean women need to stop doing if they want to grow. This is an honest, inspiring conversation for any woman who knows she’s meant for more but needs the mindset to match it.

    How Slowing Down Can Help You Find Clarity Again

    Send us a text This is the first episode of 2026, and it felt right to start slow. Last year asked a lot of me, and there were moments where it felt more like surviving than living. In this episode, I’m sharing my word for the year and why rest and clarity are at the center of everything for me right now. We talk about slowing down, pouring into yourself, listening instead of forcing, and how the path usually reveals itself as you move.  Watch the video about Intentional Rest here.

    The Final Piece: The Habits That Glue It All Together - Part 3 of 3

    Send us a text This is the last episode of our three-part series on preparing for 2026, and it’s the one that makes everything come together. In this episode, we’re talking about the part most people skip: habits. Not big dramatic changes, but the small, everyday things that quietly support your goals and help you actually show up for the life you want. I’m sharing simple habit ideas, how to make your goals feel less overwhelming, and why small actions done consistently matter more than motivation or willpower. We’ll also slow things down with a short visualization to help you step into the version of yourself who’s already living what she’s been talking about. If you’ve listened to the first two episodes, this is the piece that helps it all stick. And if you’re ready to go deeper and finally take action towards fulfilling your dream and goals, you’ll find the Dream to Action plan linked below. Thank you for being here, for listening, and for doing this work with me.  This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters.
