  • When Life Throws You a Curve Ball with Vasco Nelson
    2023/06/06

    We can all relate to the fact that we thought we had our lives all planned out at the beginning of our adult journey. In our naivety, we thought that nothing could side-track us from our goals or dreams. Then life happened and we end up detouring, sidetracking, and or moving on a whole other trajectory. This episode with Vasco Nelson shares the challenges and circumstances that cause us to detour from our initial plans. While these changes might seem negative or disappointing at first they might end up being a significant blessing in disguise.

  • WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF AT A CROSSROADS
    2023/04/04

    It is clear that life is going to do what life's gonna do. Now, this is not to say that we sit back and do nothing, but some seasons require us to be still and trust that whatever we have put out whether it is in our personal, professional, and or financial life we all have to trust the processes. This is not easy when there is a lot that seems to be at stake it can leave you feeling hopeless, defeated, and broken, this is where you might just have to face those feelings and go through pain.  Because living in denial does not change anything, it simply delays the inevitable. So, as difficult as this crossroads may seem sometimes the only option is to just surrender to the processes.

  • Dealing with Rejection
    2023/03/21

    We all face some level of rejection at some point in our lives. How we choose to deal with these moments of rejection can truly impact our outlook on life, people, and or the situations that contributed to that feeling. For some of us, we have faced rejection from an early age so we have now created barriers to guard our hearts and minds against those experiences. The challenge is rejection is inevitable and how we seek to view these rejections will either cripple or catapult us to the next direction on our journey. It is coming to that realization that rejection does not determine your worth, but simply redefines the strength we did not realize we possessed.
