Raise your hand if you had every intention of coming back outside looking like a snack, but instead you’re still eating them? *raises both hands* Outside is open again, and let’s be honest…we fell off in some areas of our life. Whether it be our fitness goals, putting in effort into our appearance (because let’s face it, we really didn’t have to for the last 12 months), going out and being social with others, the list goes on. We all have an area of our life that we value, but we just stopped putting in the effort. But now it’s time to press the reset button, knock the dust off, and get back on your game sis.

Sis, we are no longer giving people the watered down versions of ourselves. You know, the small, quiet versions of us that shrink to make others feel comfortable around us. The version of you that can’t be her full, powerful, blossoming self. The watered down version of you. When you elevate to new levels, the confidence must elevate too. Regardless of how other people may think, or feel about that. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

Some days you feel great, and you’re high on life, and feeling unstoppable. Then, there are days where you don’t feel so great. You feel really low, and you feel like you’re going to break. But guess what sis, that is 100% okay. Sometimes you have to just exist in the “not so good days”, and hang on until the good day comes. Trouble doesn’t last always, joy always comes in the morning. You just have to hang on, and believe that. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

You can’t have a different life, and do the same things you’ve always been doing. To see changes in your life, you have to start doing something different.

Let’s be honest sis…how many times have you looked up to another woman and wanted to be like her? Instead of looking at her as inspiration, she only served as a constant reminder of all the things you didn’t have. Here’s an even better question, how proud are you of yourself? It’s so easy to get caught up into a curated life of another person, yet so hard to keep investing into our own lives and look at ourselves with that same level of admiration. You have full permission to admire yourself sis. You can 100% be your own goals. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

So many changes happening in our world! Thank you for such a great season, and cheers to this finale episode. Sometimes you have to give up something great, to gain something even better. Big dreams come with big sacrifices, and either you’re going to make those dreams come true, with all the sacrifices you may have to make, with all the tears you may have to shed, with all the wins and losses that come with it, or watch somebody else do it.

Reflecting on what it was like last week waiting for the election results to come in, Ashley talks about how fear and anxiety can paralyze us when we are waiting for something we want. As much as we want to control situations in our life, the reality is we can’t. We can’t control everything that happens to us. Some things are completely out of our hands, and guess what boo?

Just because people don’t see you out here working, doesn’t mean you’re not out there getting the job done. Just because people don’t see you securing the bag, doesn’t mean the bag hasn’t been secured. Don’t let social media punk you into believing that you have to post everything, to prove everything. Your purpose in life is not attached to likes on Facebook, or the comments on Instagram. What people think of you, has nothing to do with you boo.

How many times have we started doing one thing, and then jumped into doing something else? Started a blog, a business, a non profit, a new career path – but then jumped into doing school programs, teaching, writing a new book, a new YouTube channel, and so on. That’s just an example boo, but it’s so easy for us to get excited about starting a new project or goal, and then think of all the new ideas and opportunities that present themselves to us. We can’t ever cross the finish line one one project and see the results we worked for, if we keep starting over with something new. Timing is everything, sis.

Sometimes we’re so focused on just trying to get to a “good place”, that we don’t open our eyes and see the good place we are already standing in. You can’t get so wrapped up into crossing the finish line that you fail to realize how blessed and fortunate you are to even be running in that direction.

 Indecisiveness and your lack of ability to make firm decisions, can be doing more harm than good. A lot of us tip toe around our ideas, our desires, and our plans and haven’t fully made a decision to go all in on them. We get stuck in the middle or the “in between” as Ash would call it – and fail to make a commitment to the decisions we make for ourselves. What if you stopped going back and forth on your ideas, on your plans, and on your goals, and just decided to be all in? Subscribe To Our YouTube!

We have gameplans, we have to do lists, and we know what we want – but our excitement won’t get us there. We wait for “motivation” to carry us to the finish line, but when we’re not motivated how can we still get the job done? One day we can be super motivated to work towards our goals, and then the next day be over it – both days the work still needs to be put in. Our habits define who we are sis. Good habits, create good decisions. Bad habits create bad decisions. Every decision you make is either getting you closer to the woman you want to be next, or pulling you away from her. Our question is, what decisions are you making? Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

Happiness does not come from jobs. Happiness does not come from bae. Happiness does not come from the extra zero in your bank account. It may afford you more freedom…but what is freedom, if you are too sad to enjoy it? Even in isolation, under all of these rules, restrictions, and guidelines – you can find happiness. Why? Because happiness does not come from other people, places, or things. Happiness is found within you. Guess what boo? We’re going LIVE!

You are a human being first. You are not perfect, and you were not created to be perfect. Your walk with God, your faith in God, is between you and God. Not you and your friends.

“I hope so” and “I know so” are two very different things. While sometimes all we can have is hope that things will work out for the better, we have to remember it is our faith that gets us through in times like these.

You can’t copy and paste everything you see online into your real life. You can’t copy and paste someone else’s mind, someone else’s creativity, or someone else’s life!

But it’s a lot easier being you, than trying to be you AND somebody else.
