The truth about wanting money.

 Attracting more money into your life is easy when it’s purpose-driven. Why work at making more money unless you know exactly what you’ll do with it? Making money is always a trade off because it takes your time and attention away from other things that are important to you. That’s fine if the extra money helps you pursue and achieve your highest priorities. So the first question is “What are you going to do with more money?” The clearer you are on this, the easier it is to “attract all the money you want” or need. 1) The purpose of money is to “Do what you want” Do you need more time freedom? What are you going to do with more time? You can always get more money — but no one gets more than 24 hours in a day. More money gives you new choices how you spend your time. If money was no object, how would you spend your week or your month? What does your perfect day look like? These are questions that only you can answer. If you could do anything you wanted, what would you do? Sometimes you

My Experience as a Life Coach

Here’s the thing:   you don’t need to have a pristine life to be a coach . Coaching is about inquiry, asking the right questions, listening, empathy, and empowering someone to become their best self. I know many talented coaches whose life doesn’t look that great on social media — some of these coaches aren’t even on social media at all! They make a living because their clients recommend their services. They are talented coaches because they know how to coach, not because their life is perfect or they know how to run an auto drip campaign on MailChimp. I don’t do much 1-on-1 coaching, because personally, given my background and the counseling in ministerial training, I think I can provide more value writing, speaking, and doing workshops, but when someone approaches me about hiring me as their career coach, I ask them why they want to work with me. If they say anything close to “your life is awesome, I want your life,” I don’t respond to their email. Don’t get me wrong, my name is

Unlocking your Beliefs

Today, I'm going to speak to something that can really hold you back.  Something that can s pread to every aspect of your behavior, thinking, and personality, keeping you locked in tight, immobile and helpless.  This is the mental plague of limiting beliefs! So how do you know if Limiting Beliefs are causing havoc in your life? - Well start by answering the questions below: Do you feel that you don’t deserve some things in life? Do you doubt your own abilities when you have to do something that isn’t part of your usual routine? Do you feel that you are somehow inferior compared to your colleagues or peers? Are you afraid of sharing your own ideas because they might be rejected? Do you doubt your own skills and abilities and refuse to use them when the opportunity arises for you to showcase your capabilities? Are you watching your contemporaries rise to the top while you are still near the bottom, still ‘not ready’ for the big time? Do you have trouble trusting those

In this life, you live a life of love while you're alive or you will leave a legacy of love. Either way, it's all about l💙ve. -Edna J White So many times in our lives we get consumed with one thought or one objective that brings us and those around us no happiness. All because we were not validated in our childhood and we act out emotionally in response to others. We need to stop and realize that our lives have gone cold and that we offer nothing to those around us.  Do you have a love interest?  Do you enjoy days with your siblings?  Do you have healthy friendships?  Does your phone ring just from a friend reaching out to say hi? All these questions and more should be asked of yourself and take a few minutes to look into. Our lives are not always one thing or one-sided. Just work or just play. It's a balance that you are an addition to those titles or roles you play like daughter, son, sister, mother, wife, husband, worker, Entrepreneur, etc. Your lif

A Lesson in Cheating

An Intimate Lesson A client asked me recently to write about cheating in romantic relationships. This is a touchy subject because it stings so much. I’ve experienced the pain of cheating first hand, and I can tell you I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. All a relationship is after all is two people learning how to trust one another. Trust is the foundation of everything else. Without trust, there isn’t a relationship. When cheating happens, that trust is shattered. And it’s very hard to get it back (not impossible). There are different perspectives on cheating. For me, it’s a deal breaker. For my therapist, she has seen many a couple work through it and come back even stronger. There’s no right or wrong way to look at it, but there is a deeper lesson inside the painful act of cheating that I’d like to speak to. I’ve worked with many clients who have been cheated on in different ways: sexually and emotionally. Sexual cheating is when you have sex outside the relations
