Unraveled to Unleashed

The term Imposter Syndrome has become a huge buzzword in our society and I hear it more often among women - even more from women of color. While I believe it's great to put a name on something, I believe the danger is when a hidden trick of the enemy is adopted and normalized. So this week we're calling our not-so-good friend Imposter Syndrome to the carpet to expose what she truly is and uncouple from her for good. This is a real conversation where we set the past aside and deal with the truth. Let's get into it if (and only if) you're ready to shed what society has tried to define and normalize.

The biggest blocker to surrendering to your next is believing that you have control over your future. #spoileralert - we don't have control. And what I've realized is the sooner we embrace that fact, the sooner we get to enjoy the journey to our destination. There was a clear image of what surrender looks like that was shown to me by God and I want to give it to you in this episode. This is so powerful and I know it'll free you out of the spiral associated with trying to exercise control over something that is actually out of your hands. It's time to stop manipulating and start planting with intention and allowing whatever to grow as it should. Come on in and get ready to get shifted!

The presence of "hidden motives" can often have a negative connotation - synonomus with having an "agenda". That agenda or motive usually involves a person's downfall or misfortune. We see it movies all the time. But what about when we do something good, wanting to support a person, and deep down craving something in return? Whether that is recognition, appreciation, or a "hook-up", this is a hidden motive. While it seems harmless - we're all looking to get something from our relationships - this could cause you emotional pain down the line if it's properly explored. In today's episode, we will start that honest exploration to free us in future interactions with those we love. Buckle up!   Have an Unraveled to Unleashed story and want to share it?

"When you love yourself, you give from your overflow!" I sat down with one of my new good friends, Elsita Dean, who is a lighthouse for self-love. She told her Unraveled to Unleashed story where she went from battling the aftermath of betrayal and questioning her worth to establishing a new commitment to love herself relentlessly. She gives practical examples of what she did to shift how she saw herself and the ways that improved her external relationships as a friend, mother, and colleague. Tune in to her story and prepare to be blown away.

We know small talk as a casual conversation we have with new people or acquaintances but today I want to dive into another way of having "small talk". How we talk to ourselves sometimes matters more than what others say to us. I'll be real. In the past, I've been my own biggest hater. When I recognized this, I also uncovered that if I shifted my language, I could build my internal morale and stop hating on myself. I felt this lesson could bless you too so let's dive in.   Have an Unraveled to Unleashed story and want to share it?

Come on in as I pull the bandaid off another wound - the desire to be liked or accepted. Between my pre-teen years and my 20s, I had fallen into this identity of being likeable and agreeable to gain the approval of others. The issue is I agreed or went along with things that I truly didn't like. I was just to afraid to voice or be who I really wanted to be because I didn't want to feel the familiar sting of being betrayed or disliked. I was willing to lie to myself and inflict pain on myself vs being honest with others. Over time, that brought me to a low place and today the healed version of me got to turn that on its head and see the light that comes with putting your stake in the ground. Tune in as I share what that shift looks like.   Have an Unraveled to Unleashed story and want to share it?

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own healing moment that allowed me to interrupt a very common cycle I've experienced - feedback, judgment, loss of confidence - repeat. Throughout my life, I've found myself in this loop more times than I can count. Whether it was a big thing or a small thing. I sat in the judgment seat of myself and had little to no mercy. Using my real story, I walk you through how I quickly exited that pattern with some small shifts in language and overall beliefs about myself. Walk through this shift with me and get activated to make the shift in your own life so you can be free to navigate feedback without internal judgment.     Have an Unraveled to Unleashed story and want to share it?

Who's been duped by fake humility? If you grew up anything like me, you saw that being "too proud" or self-promoting got looks of eye rolls and it seemed like a cardinal sin. Perhaps you too took that too far and began living your adult life downplaying the truth about what you've done and what you are naturally graced with. In this episode, I'm tackling the myth of playing small and sharing what it really looks like to have dominion over your God-given assignment. Spoiler alert: dominion does not look like diminishing...catch that. Let's dive into this conversation and vow to act in dominion and honor God for what he blessed us with. I'd love to hear what you're committing to after this talk.   Have an Unraveled to Unleashed story and want to share it?

The rise of functioning anxiety does not sit well with me. I didn't understand the severity of it until I experienced it personally. While there are levels of anxiety that require treatment, I'm not discussing that in this episode (and not licensed to give medical advice). I'm talking about functional anxiety that can be alleviated by lifestyle changes that we often ignore. Through my story and experience, I hope you see a pathway through or avoid this level of anxiety all together by learning the signs. We have careers and businesses to build, lives to change, and a purpose to fulfill. Let's get the personal roadblocks out of our way (at the least the ones we can control).   Have an Unraveled to Unleashed story and want to share it?

Come on in, friends! I'm pulling back the curtain on my own journey once again. If you've ever had a coach or mentor in your life, this is for you. To be clear, my mentors have been blessings in my life but early on I didn't recognize the purpose of coaching and who I needed to be to get value. The major key was learning the skill of leading and being true to myself. No one can guide you to a vision or down a path that you haven't decided on. In this conversation, I describe how I learned (the hard way) to lead myself to my dream and destination.

In this episode, I share my raw story about how I finally became aware of the lifelong behaviors and mindsets that ultimately led to burnout. I talk about people-pleasing, going along to get along, and suppressing my feelings to the point where I lost sight of myself. Coming out on the other side, I take you through my current thoughts and freedom moments where I decide to seek my voice again and never let it go. This episode is meant to encourage you (a woman of many hats) to never get too busy feeling for others that you become numb to yourself. Grab your favorite beverage and let's dive in.
