I almost didn't post this picture of myself. ⠀
⠀
💇🏼‍♀️ My hair desperately needs to be cut and it's HUGE.⠀
👄 My teeth totally need a whitening treatment. In all honesty it's been about 2 years since I went to the dentist (that's what crazy moves and crappy health insurance will do to you).⠀
😬 I don't love my shirt but it's the only thing that I had in my closet that will fit my postpartum boobs and squishy belly. ⠀
⠀
But then I actually looked at the picture and I noticed I was smiling. Like truly, genuinely smiling. Camden was being a total goofball and was hanging all over me giggling and laughing this morning before going to school.⠀
⠀
And then I realized this is how I want my kids to remember me. ⠀
⠀
I want them to remember me as the silly, happy mom who would take time out of her day to play with them and truly enjoy it. Not because she felt obliged but because she genuinely loved spending time with them.⠀
⠀
And so that's what I did today, I enjoyed THEM.⠀
⠀
I'm ending the day today with a smile on my face and some serious joy in my heart. It was a good day, friends. ❤️⠀

Excuses. Ain't nobody got time for them.⠀
⠀
For so long I live in my excuses for why I wasn't successful, ⠀
⠀
"She's prettier than I am."⠀
"I'm not as magnetic."⠀
"I have a husband's who work schedule is totally inconsistent."⠀
"My kid is INSANE and won't nap."⠀
"I'm not unique enough."⠀
⠀
The list went on and on....⠀
⠀
And then one day after our bank account had been overdrafted for the 5th time that month and drained our savings, I decided enough was enough. ⠀
⠀
No one was going to make it happen for me. I wasn't going to get lucky. I wasn't going to have anything handed to me on a silver platter. ⠀
⠀
My success was determined by me. ⠀
⠀
The excuses I was living in weren't getting me anywhere.⠀
⠀
And Mama, the same is for you. You're absolutely capable of making those "crazy" dreams of yours a reality. It's just a choice. A choice to go all in, no matter how crazy it might feel or seem. ⠀
⠀
Make it happen Mama. For you, for your family, and for the world. We're waiting for you to show up for us.⠀ 📷 by @tommiemarshell .⠀

This morning I woke up to a bit of inspiration and motivation from one of my fabulous biz besties @ali__christian, and it totally hit home for me.⠀
⠀
A lot of times, maybe when things aren't going our way in our business, or we feel like we're hitting road block after road block, we get wrapped up in ourselves. ⠀
⠀
What am I doing wrong?⠀
This isn't working for me.⠀
This isn't going to help me accomplish my goals.⠀
Why does this keep happening to me?⠀
⠀
We're in our own heads. Totally guilty of this, by the way. 🙋🏼⠀
⠀
But a simple mindset shift can truly create a new perspective and new momentum. ⠀
⠀
And here it is: it's not about you. 🙅🏼⠀
⠀
Because it's not. We're put on this Earth to build community and to create impact. We're to serve whole-heartedly and give unconditionally. We're to forgive and to love. It's not about us and what we need, but it's about how we can help and use our God-given gifts to create change.⠀
⠀
By being so wrapped up in ourselves and what's not working for us, shifting our perspectives to how can we help can create massive change, and in return, facilitates massive growth.⠀
⠀
So what are you working on this week? And how is it not about you? Let me know in the comments! 👇🏽⠀

For some reason lately I've been craving nature. Maybe it's because almost a year ago we moved from a coastal town to an urban neighborhood outside of Washington, DC. Maybe it's because Spring is almost here. And maybe it's because I'm dealing with some post-baby blues and being outside feels good. But regardless of what it is, I'm craving some outside time. ⠀
⠀
And the strangest part of it, I don't want to work in my basement office. My office used to be my refuge. My little piece of space in our house that is mine and only mine. But I don't even like working in it for an extended period of time anymore.⠀
⠀
So I've been moving around the house during my work day. Sometimes I work under the covers in our bed like a hibernating bear. Sometimes I work in our breakfast nook basking in the sunlight. Sometimes I sprawl out on the floor of our living room and watch the shadows from the trees outside dance on the floor. Regardless of where I am, I'm totally loving this season of migration and feeling more connected to nature. I think it's good for the soul. ⠀
⠀
And I'm more patient. Patient with my business, patient with my family, patient with my clients. I'm listening more than i'm talking. I'm allowing for silence, instead of feeling like I need to fill the void. And I'm resting intentionally and unapologetically. And you know what? It feels good.⠀
⠀
How do you honor the urges that come along with the changes of pace and life? ⠀

I want her to be brave.⠀
I want her to be strong.⠀
I want her to stand up for what is right.⠀
But more importantly, I want her to be kind.⠀
⠀
I have two sets of eyes that are learning from me. Not only my words, but also my actions. I want them to see a strong mom. A mom who takes risks. A mom who pushes aside fear and does the hard things anyway. And a mom who goes after her dreams and brings her family along for the ride.⠀
⠀
So today take the leap, take the risk, do the thing that you’ve deemed “crazy”, and do it with joy. Teach your kids what it looks like to chase after your own dreams while loving them fiercely. ⠀
⠀
And most importantly, be kind while you’re on the journey.⠀
