Reminding myself and anyone else who can relate...

There’s going to come a time or (100) in your life when you’re faced with things you don’t like, things you don’t agree with, and things that feel completely unfair. You’ll find yourself at a crossroad...maybe it’s a relationship, a belief you’ve held onto for too long, or a situation you thought would never change.

These moments are hard. They might cost you people, ideas, or things you can’t ever get back.

Life isn’t always kind. We suffer great losses. We get hurt. The path we imagined for ourselves doesn’t always match reality. The truth is, it’s our responsibility to live the best possible life we can, even when the cards we’re dealt don’t look like the ones we wanted.

We don’t have to like it. We don’t have to pretend it’s easy. But we do need to face it and decide how we’re going to move forward. If we don’t, if we keep avoiding the hard choices, we stand to lose so much more than what’s already slipping away.

We risk losing relationships and opportunities, But most importantly, we risk losing ourselves..missing out on the person we’re meant to be with the time we have left...if we can't stop trying to control everything it will end up controlling us...

Life doesn’t promise us perfection, but it does promise us opportunity! An opportunity to grow, to heal, and to choose a path that’s truly ours. I'm working on not losing myself and my true purpose in the doing of all the things..leaning into , instead of avoiding what’s hard. Face it head-on and become who I'm meant to be...even at 56!

If your up against it right now and need support from like minded women who gather around a table and keep it real and hold space for you!

Drop me some 🌞 👇 and I'll share all the details and when we are meeting again!

If you want the rainbow, you’ve got to put up with the rain.

It’s been a rainy week here in Charlotte, and I’ve heard a lot of people, myself included complaining about the gloomy skies. But sitting with it this morning, I was reminded of a season in my life where it felt like it rained every single day… and not just outside.

I was broken.
I was broke.
I was stuck in relationships that didn’t serve me.
I was falling short of the woman I knew I could be.

But looking back now, I realize I needed that season. I couldn’t have arrived at where I am today without walking through every storm, every setback, and every teardrop.

Is life perfect now? No way.
But I’ve learned rain is part of the process.
There’s no rainbow without it. No growth without it. No becoming without it.

So today, instead of resenting the rain outside or in life I will continue to sit in it, knowing it’s part of something bigger. Something more beautiful.

If you’re in a rainy season, hold on.
The rainbow is coming. 🌈

Grace + Growth

Boundaries are powerful, and necessary. They protect our peace, guide our values, and help us move forward with clarity.

But sometimes, in the process of protecting ourselves, we forget to offer others what we hope to receive: GRACE!!!

It’s easy to spot someone else’s shortcomings. It’s harder to admit when we’ve been holding on to hurt too long, telling ourselves a story based on what we “heard” rather than what we’ve experienced first hand.

The truth? We don’t always know what someone else is carrying. People grow. They mess up. They change.
Some of the best healing happens when we lean in and give someone a new opportunity! Not a pass, but a chance.

Set your boundaries. Pay attention when someone shows you who they are. But don’t let old narratives stop new beginnings.

Let’s stop writing people off because of “what she used to be” and start building our own stories based on presence, not gossip.

Grace and boundaries can exist in the same space. And so can healing!

What if we stopped worrying so much about what other people think?

How often do we shrink back, get defensive, or feel crushed just because we’re caught in someone else’s perception of us? It’s easy to get tangled in assumptions, sideways glances, or silence that feels loud.

But here's the truth....
We all have a story.
I have one. You have one. And we’ll never fully step into someone else’s headspace to understand their pain, their past, or what drives their behavior. And that’s okay.

The danger comes when we let their story define our response. When we carry their weight as if it belongs to us, it can rob us of joy, stir up bitterness, and push us to act in ways that don’t align with who we truly are.

So today, let’s breathe. (I'M BREATHING 🧘‍♀️)
Let’s return to what we know!!! OURr values, OUR vision, and OUR voice.

Let’s put OUR purpose in motion.
Not perfectly, but boldly.
Not for approval, but from a place of peace.

You are not responsible for their story.
You are responsible for showing up fully in yours.

There’s a quiet kind of strength in every mother.
In the holding on and the letting go.
In the sleepless nights, the whispered prayers, the brave decisions.
In the love that doesn’t need a name to be real.

This weekend, we begin honoring every version of "mom".

The nurturers, the protectors, the cheerleaders, the gentle warriors.

No matter what your motherhood looks like,
may you feel the hope and grace in the way you love.

I miss her every day❤️

Studio Hope | The Table We Build Together

We all carry ideas about life, about ourselves, and about the people around us. Expectations, hopes, and dreams… they’re often tangled up in who we think someone should be, or who we hoped they would become.

But life has a way of shifting. One moment, one emotion, one decision, one curve in the road and suddenly, someone’s journey looks different than we imagined. And sometimes, if we’re honest, that’s hard. It doesn’t mean they’re wrong. It doesn’t mean we’re right.

It just means we’re all human. doing the best we can with the history we carry, the feelings we feel, the choices we make.

At The Table We Build Together, we’re creating space for that kind of honesty. A place to sit down, breathe, and talk about the things we carry. No pressure to fix each other, just an open seat, a listening ear, and a group of women showing up in whatever season they’re in.

Let’s talk. Let’s grow. Let’s honor the messy middle, together.

Studio Hope is back at the table. And yes — it's been a while.

Life got loud, as it does. The page went quiet, but the heartbeat of Studio Hope never stopped. Because here's the truth: you can take a break, change course, even step away completely AND still come back with more wisdom, more grit, more realness than ever before.

We're pulling up our chair again. We're inviting women to the table. Not to perform, not to impress, but to talk. About what’s real. About leadership, loss, business, identity, boundaries, and breakthroughs.

No guilt, no shame, just a warm seat and a fresh start.

We’re not starting over. We’re starting from experience.
Studio Hope is back. And there's room at the table for you🙌

If this sounds like a place you want to be for our first round table discussion please email me at [email protected]

Ill share the details and dates for the summer!

💥Boom!💥 "You can't talk your way out of a problem you behaved yourself into!" The first time I read this, I was like, "Yeah, that's right! 🎤 Drop." But then it hit me... This applies to YOU too, girl! 💡 Are there behaviors still holding you back? What are you talking about without taking action, making changes, or seeking help? It's time to address your mindset, confront excuses, and let go of pain and grudges.

We're all a work in progress. Repairing the past doesn't always mean sharing it with the world, but acknowledging your own behavior towards challenges is essential. I see so many people quick to judge and point fingers, yet they avoid facing their own actions and behaviors. Trust me, I've been there too! Blaming others and avoiding inner work only leads to more pain and destruction.

But guess what? You have the power to change that! Own it and take responsibility for yourself. Don't let anyone else decide your worth or dictate your next move. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. I've embarked on this journey, and let me tell you it requires daily practice, but it's been so rewarding.

If you're ready to navigate through your own challenges, I'm here to guide you! 💚 Join us for a life Audit at Studio Hope! Our Empowerment Circle is meeting Wednesday, September 27th, from 6:30 to 8 PM. Together, we'll explore strategies for personal growth and empowerment. Don't worry if you can't join in person; there are Zoom options available too. Its not too late to join us! Message me to secure your spot!

Let's ditch the excuses, embrace accountability, and soar higher than ever before! ✨
