As you focus on healing generational wounds, don’t forget to claim your generational blessings‼️
•
I have tons of pictures of my grandma, my favorite girl, my momo BUT by far this is one of my favorites. And she is probably going to kill me for posting it! 😂

What I love most is how real this moment is. My grandmother on her porch in Mississippi, combing my little cousin’s hair (her granddaughter) with my daughters (her great-granddaughters) at her feet….no staging, no posing, just life happening!

As we step into the holiday season, I want to share this reminder from the most genuine place in my heart. We spend so much time trying to get the perfect picture, the perfect decorations, the perfect everything, and the truth is, the photos and moments we tend to cherish the most have never been taken by a professional. No shade to professional photographers; they do amazing work, but the moments that have meant the most to many of us are moments like this….real, unplanned, imperfect, and full of love and generational blessings! 🙌🏾🙏🏾

I can honestly tell you there is nothing I have purchased, nothing that came from a staged background, nothing coordinated or professionally shot, that has held more value than moments like this: family, authenticity, and connection!

So, as you enter into your holiday activities, may you find joy in the real, the ordinary, and the unplanned, because that is where the greatest blessings live!

And on that note, I will see you all next year. I’m taking a holiday/social media break to be present in laughter, love, and joy…in the real!

With love! Tot 🫶🏾

Friendly Reminder 👩🏽‍💻
•
From November through January, I intentionally create space for resting, receiving, and refilling.

If an activity requires me to work, create, produce, or pour out in a professional capacity and it was not on my calendar before October 31, the answer is a respectful no.

This does not apply to my existing job duties or responsibilities with UNLV.

For Private Practice/Clinical Consulting related requests, inquiries, collaborations, or work outside of my university role, please kindly circle back after the New Year with any work-related asks.

Be well. 🙏🏾

If you are ever wondering whether you should ditch your kids during the work week and take yourself to Disneyland with your mama friends, let me save you some time: YES. Every time, yes.
and I love yall! 🥰🥰

My knees hurt the next day, my hip was sore. I do not know what we did, but we did it.
Forty Ate EVERYTHING in that damn park. 😂

So yes:
Book the Hilton suite.
Check yourself in.
Wake up the next morning and be the first ones running through those gates and get yourself a birthday pin too.
Enjoy yourself.
Take care of yourself.

Since Spring 1999 🩷💚 • A weekend well spent 🎂🥂

Because friends are good for your mental health, especially the ones who walk with you through so many seasons of your life and hold you in what I call the ABCs of life: accountability, blessings, compassion, and that little “s” stands for sisterhood. From college to graduate school, from marriage to children, from loss to love, through grief and finding your footing again, she has been right there. Not a fair-weather friend, but a friend in every season. She is a keeper.

When my feet touch Southern soil, my breath shifts, my nervous system regulates, and my soul remembers what home feels like. And when I step into home, the home of the pretty things, 😉 she never misses. 🙌🏾She is the hostess with the mostess and best believe a time will be had, and WAS!!

Saturday night, I thought we were having dinner for two, but when I turned the corner she had arranged a Friendsgiving dinner with more of our Sorors who live in Houston. It was a beautiful surprise and a wonderful night filled with laughter, love, food, cocktails, and a heart full of gratitude.

, you’re the best, boo. Thank you for EVERYTHING, always! See you for the New Year. 😂

Holiday Reminder for Everyone Doing the Work

This season, remember that it is okay to say no.

It is okay to rest.
It is okay to set boundaries without guilt.

To the helpers
To the healers
To the community workers
To the advocates
To the caregivers
To the educators
To the ones holding space for everyone else

✨✨✨✨✨ REST ✨✨✨✨✨

You cannot pour from an empty cup, and you cannot serve well from depletion.

Take this time, if you can, to pause, breathe, and refill your cup (mentally physically emotionally socially and spiritually)

This is not selfish. It is healthy. It is how we sustain ourselves and continue to show up with purpose.

The greatest impact begins within us and within our homes. When we take care of ourselves, everything else flows from that place. Our clarity expands. Our patience deepens. Our giving becomes more intentional.

I refuse to let this world drain me.
If my heart is empty, how do I give with intention
If my energy is gone, how do I serve with love

So here is your reminder:
✨ Rest
✨ Refill
✨ Recenter
✨ Protect your peace

We deserve that, and may your cup run over!

And So It Begins ✨The Not Alone Summit ✨✨✨

Tomorrow, as we gather for Hope Means Nevada’s HOPE IN ACTION, I invite you to come out, be present, and be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Let’s show up in community, for our youth, for one another, and for hope.

And as you walk, listen, or simply stand in that space, I ask that you hold three questions close to your heart:
✨ How are the children?
✨ How is the village?
✨ What is my part?

Sometimes we think that to make an impact, our part has to be wrapped in credentials or titles, but that’s so not true.
Every one of us has a role in the wellness of our community.

Your part might look like:
💚 Checking in on a young person who’s been quiet lately
💚 Encouraging a parent who’s doing their best
💚 Mentoring, volunteering, or simply showing up
💚 Offering a word of kindness, a moment of patience, or a seat at the table

Because sometimes the most meaningful impact comes from our presence, not our position.
Those simple acts of compassion help our children, our families, and our communities heal.

So come out tomorrow. Bring your hope. Bring your light. Let’s do our part together. 💜💚

📍 HOPE IN ACTION
🗓️ Saturday, November 8 | 10AM–1PM

This is for the 40-somethings… 💃🏽
— Schoolin’ Life 🎶

With 48 just 11 days away and in the spirit of celebrating growth and grace, I made the Top 10 in the competition! 🎉🙌🏾
Voting for the Top 5 ends November 13th, and I’d love your continued support to keep this momentum going!

As we move through our 20s, 30s, and 40s, mental wellness starts to look a little different. Here are a few reminders that have grounded me in this season of life:

💚 Give yourself permission to evolve. You are allowed to outgrow people, habits, and old versions of yourself.

💚 Rest is non negotiable. Your nervous system deserves recovery just as much as your goals deserve your energy.

💚 Say no without guilt. Protecting your peace is not selfish, it is sacred.

💚 Center joy and gratitude each day. Research shows that both can rewire the brain for positivity, reduce stress, and boost overall well being. Even in times of transition, there is always something to be grateful for, something that can make your soul smile.

💚 Reflect, release, and renew. Each decade teaches us something about letting go and becoming more aware of who we are and what we need to live fully and freely.

There’s something powerful that happens as you age, you stop rushing, stop apologizing, and start embracing every part of your story.
