Hey Love!
Recently I had an extremely frustrating incident with my laptop. It stopped working and I pretty much lost everything for almost two weeks.
Now to be fair to my computer, it gave me fair warning but I chose to ignore the warnings. Aaaand to me make it even more fun, I hadn’t backed it up. Yes, you read it correctly – I hadn’t backed my computer up. Oh, what sad days these have been for me here lately, insert crying emoji.
While this event rocked my world for a bit, I was able to see the lessons in this entire debacle. Listen in as I share the lessons I learned from laptop and how they can apply to you. I hope this episode motivates you to listen to your body.
Peace and Blessing!

Hey Love!
In this episode, I’m going to talk about the importance of focusing on your mental health as well as your physical health. As a mom of a kiddo on the spectrum for Autism, I’ve really had to ensure that I’m prioritizing my mental health right along with my physical health.
Mental health and physical health are closely connected. When one is affected, it can have a direct impact on the other, I know that to be a fact as I’ve seen it up close and personal.
It is vital that as busy professionals, wives, moms, friends, leaders and all the other hats we wear, ensure that we are actively and proactively focusing on our mental health as much as we focus on our physical health.
I hope you find this episode informative and encouraging and I’m sending some extra special love to all my moms of special needs kiddos.
Peace and Blessing!
