Major Must Haves Conversations

Hello everyone,In this episode, I'm trying something a little different—I’m choosing not to be on camera and letting my voice take the lead. 🎙️This is part of a small experiment to see how you connect with the content when the focus is purely on what’s being said, not what’s being seen. I want to build a stronger connection through my voice alone and give you space to truly listen.It’s also about helping you (and me!) get used to this format—more relaxed, more audio-focused, and maybe even more personal in a way.Let me know how this feels to you—do you prefer video, audio, or something in-between? Your feedback means a lot and will help shape what this podcast becomes next in season 2.Thanks for being part of the journey 🙏 Description : In a world full of noise and constant distractions, solitude isn’t loneliness—it’s power. 🌌In this video, we explore how spending intentional time alone can help you reconnect with yourself, gain clarity, and unlock the inner strength that's already within you. Learn how solitude fuels creativity, sharpens your mind, and aligns you with your true purpose.✨ What you'll discover:-Why solitude is essential for self-growth-How to use alone time to build emotional resilience-Practices to help you tap into your inner powerWhether you're on a journey of self-discovery, healing, or simply need to recharge—this video is your reminder that your greatest power often comes in the quiet moments.🧘‍♂️ Take a deep breath, tune out the world, and tune into you.

In this video, I talk about those moments when we doubt our own power — and why it's so important to be kind, to ourselves and others. I share thoughts on surrounding ourselves with people who truly know our hearts, because when you're with the right friends, you'll never have to doubt who you are.

For too long, I let fear and self-doubt keep me hidden. I kept telling myself I wasn’t ready to film, even though deep down, I knew it was part of my purpose. One day, I made a decision: no more hiding. I picked up the camera and started filming. Not because I felt 100% ready—but because I knew growth begins when we step outside our comfort zone. This is me, showing up, owning my story, and choosing courage over fear. If you’re waiting for the perfect moment—it’s now.

Keeping your word to yourself means honoring the promises and commitments you make to you. It's a form of self-respect and personal integrity that builds confidence and trust in your own abilities. Whether it's sticking to a goal, maintaining a routine, or resisting self-sabotage, following through on what you say you’ll do for yourself reinforces your inner strength.When you break your word to others, you damage trust—it's the same when you break promises to yourself. Over time, this can weaken self-esteem and create a pattern of procrastination, doubt, and frustration. Conversely, consistently keeping your word—even in small ways—develops discipline, resilience, and a stronger sense of identity.Ultimately, keeping your word to yourself is about showing up for your life and goals with the same reliability you’d offer to someone you deeply respect. It's a foundational habit for personal growth and long-term success.

There’s a special kind of love that blooms when you least expect it, and for me, that love came in the form of my stepdaughters’ children. From the moment they entered my life, they brought with them a light I didn’t even know was missing. It made me look at their mom kinda like she is a little kid again too cause they have her personality and traits. They help me understand her more, which led me to love her more and I didn't even think that was possible. Their presence and laughter fills the room with a kind of magic that heals the heart and lifts the spirit.Each giggle, every silly story, every tight hug—these moments have become treasures I hold close. Watching them grow, learn, and discover the world is one of the greatest joys I’ve ever known. They’ve given me a sense of purpose, a deeper kind of happiness, and a reminder of how beautiful it is to love without limits.They may not be mine by blood, but they are fully mine in heart. And the joy they bring isn’t just a fleeting feeling—it’s the kind of joy that settles into your soul and stays there, changing you forever in the most wonderful way.

I thought we were set for life. We had plans, savings, and what felt like financial stability. But after my husband passed, the truth slowly unraveled — debts that have to be paid, assets tied up or inaccessible, and expenses I’d never considered. It hit me hard: we weren’t as financially secure as I believed. Grief is heavy on its own, but facing financial reality while mourning is a whole other weight. This is what they don’t prepare you for. But, always remember, everything will be ok if you just trust and believe...

Selling prized possessions while grieving was bittersweet. Each item carries emotional value, but letting go becomes necessary to rebuild financial stability and care for loved ones. It’s a sacrifice born from determination—a step toward a new future, where memories remain even as material things are parted with. This process took a lot of courage, turning loss into an investment in hope and growth.

His love was patient and thoughtful, seamlessly embracing both the chaos and beauty of our world. He knew it wasn’t just about winning Amaya's little heart but also earning her trust, and he did so with gentle consistency—small gestures that meant the world, like showing up to school recitals and remembering favorite food and toys. His love created a space where you never felt like you had to choose between being a mother and being loved as a woman. He saw her pain, her 4 year old heart and loved her for who she was and instead of being intimidated, he admired it all the more. In his love, we found a life of shared dreams and unconditional acceptance. We found my husband and her dad. What a great man...

Tune in every Tuesday at 9 AM for 11 episodes."Our car collection wasn’t just metal and engines; it was a reflection of my late husbands passion, dreams, and milestones. Each vehicle had a story, a memory, a moment that made it unique—a connection that went far beyond its price tag.When I discovered they were gone, it was like losing a piece of myself and his legacy. The disbelief hit first—a surreal daze that made me hope I was wrong. Then came the anger, the sadness, and ultimately the feeling of helplessness. It wasn’t just about the money or the rarity of the cars—it was about the time, effort, and love poured into building something that meant so much to him. This experience has shaken me to the core, but it’s also made me realize that material things can come and go. What truly matters is resilience, the people who stand by you, and the lessons you carry forward. I’ll rebuild, and in the process be stronger and wiser than before.instagram:  @majormusthaves  Email: [email protected]
