🔥 THE PRESERVATION METHOD: 3 Energy Protection Strategies
After 7 years of , these are the game-changers:
1️⃣ The Energy Investment Portfolio

60% of emotional energy → You & immediate family
30% → Career/work advancement
10% → Everything else
Protect these percentages like your retirement fund.

2️⃣ The 'Not My Circus' Response
When someone dumps their drama: 'I acknowledge your situation and trust your ability to handle it.' Then redirect or exit.
3️⃣ The Phone Boundary
Put your phone in another room for 1 hour daily. Watch your anxiety decrease and focus increase.

📖 'Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.' - Matthew 11:28
Y'all, even Jesus modeled boundaries. He withdrew from crowds. He said no to demands on His time. He prioritized rest.
Yet somehow we've been taught that godliness means saying yes to everything and everyone.
That's not biblical - that's burnout.
True service flows from overflow, not emptiness.
This , what if we honored our God-given need for rest and boundaries as acts of worship?
Faith leaders: Your congregation needs to see you model healthy boundaries. The church needs emotionally healthy leaders, not martyrs.
How are you honoring your need for rest this month?

Real talk: Seven years ago, my life looked amazing on paper.
Licensed therapist with a private practice✓
Director of a long standing crisis stabilization program making 6 figures✓
Happily married (at that point) with no kid✓
We served in ministry✓
But I felt... empty. Disconnected. Unfulfilled.
Everyone around me was celebrating my achievements while I felt like I was dying inside, wondering why none of it felt meaningful anymore. I'd literally take my lunch break to cry in my car.
That's when I started - not for others, but for ME. To find my way back to myself.
I realized that saying yes to everyone else's vision of my life meant saying no to my own authentic desires.
Self-care became about reconnection, not just protection.
This month, I'm sharing the exact strategies that helped me move from external success to internal fulfillment - the same framework I now teach in my keynote "Successful and Empty: The Hidden Crisis of High Achievers and How to Break Free."

My life now REQUIRES me to constantly fill my cup first:
Therapy practice
Speaking engagements
Book and magazine columnist deadlines
Special needs single parenting
My own healing journey and more...

If your life looks good from the outside but feels hollow on the inside, this 🧡 is for you.

Years ago, my ex-husband drew this picture of me as a Naruto character. That scroll on my back? "Your weapon is words," he said. "You use them to heal not harm. They wrap around people and help them see you, themselves, and the situation clearly."

He saw me as someone who uses language to create understanding, to speak life into people. God used him as a prophetic voice as I didn't see it then but I do today.

But being a mirror for people isn't easy. Not everyone is ready for what they see reflected back ..the good they can't accept or the parts they're not ready to face. Love isn't always welcomed. Truth isn't always comfortable.

Having a way with words is a gift, but heavy is the head that wears the crown. There are days when you see so clearly and others aren't ready to see, when you can speak life but people aren't ready to live it.

Still, I wouldn't trade this gift. In a world that often tears down, I get to build up. The scroll stays on my back. The work continues.

💼 "Our team feels more connected and productive than we have in years."
That's what a client said after our 3-month leadership development intensive.
Here's what we didn't do:
❌ Generic team-building exercises
❌ One-size-fits-all workshops
❌ Surface-level motivation talks
Here's what we DID:
✅ Assessed their unique team dynamics
✅ Built emotional intelligence skills specific to their challenges
✅ Created sustainable mental wellness practices for high-pressure environments
✅ Developed communication strategies that actually work
As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Corporate Consultant, I bridge the gap between mental health and high performance.
The outcome? Teams that don't just work well together—they thrive together.
Is your organization ready to transform workplace culture through mental wellness and leadership development?
Let's connect to discuss how I can help your team thrive.

Your Friday Challenge: Comment below with ONE imperfect action you’re taking this weekend for your mental health. Let’s normalize progress over perfection! 👇

You don’t need the perfect plan, the ideal conditions, or everything figured out to take meaningful action toward your complete wellness.

✨ GET ACTIVE THIS WEEKEND:
• Take that “messy” 10-minute walk instead of waiting for the perfect workout plan
• Have that imperfect but honest conversation with your partner
• Set one boundary, even if you’re not sure how to word it perfectly
• Try that coping strategy, even if you think you might do it “wrong”

The imperfect wobbly ladder gets you to the next level. The pristine one just looks good in photos.

As a therapist, I see too many people stuck waiting for the “right way” to work on themselves. But healing happens in the messy middle, not in perfect conditions.

What’s your wobbly ladder going to be?

🎯 The difference between "work-life balance" and "radical seasonality" just changed how my corporate clients think about burnout.
❌ Balance assumes: You should maintain the same energy level year-round
✅ Seasonality recognizes: You're human, not a machine
Winter seasons: When you need to withdraw and restore (not depression—wisdom)
Spring phases: Time for new growth and innovation
Summer seasons: Full expression and team collaboration
Autumn moments: Releasing what no longer serves your goals
I've watched executive teams go from exhausted to energized when they stop fighting their natural rhythms and start honoring them.
The result? Higher performance, lower burnout, sustainable success.
Question for leaders: What season is your team in right now, and how can you support that instead of pushing against it?
This is the kind of shift I explore in my corporate training and keynote presentations—helping organizations build emotionally intelligent, resilient cultures.

🏆 From Woman in Business Award finalist and Magazine Columnist to Amazon's Best-Selling Author to launching my bi-weekly newsletter this week.
Sometimes I step back and realize how far the journey has taken me.
But here's what I want you to know: None of this happened because I waited for the "right" moment.
✨ My speaking career started with saying yes to a small local event
✨ My book happened because I finally stopped researching "how to write" and just wrote
✨ My consulting practice grew because I helped one team, then another
✨ This newsletter launched because I hit "send" on a Wednesday afternoon
The pattern? Action creates momentum. Momentum creates opportunities. Opportunities create transformation.
Whether you're building emotional intelligence in your team, developing your leadership voice, or finally prioritizing your mental wellness --the magic happens when you start before you're ready. GET ACTIVE!
What's your next "Wednesday afternoon" going to create?

⏰ 5 minutes. That's all it takes to reset your mental state.
As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist working with executives, I see brilliant leaders burn out because they think wellness requires hour-long meditation retreats.
Here's what actually works:
🧭 The "Vision Check" (2 minutes):
Write down ONE thing you've been avoiding and the very first step you could take today.
🎵 The "Grounding Song" (3 minutes):
Play one song that makes you feel centered. Let it reset your nervous system.
That's it. No apps. No courses. No perfect conditions.
Why this works: Your brain needs micro-moments of intentionality, not massive overhauls.
I've watched C-suite executives transform their stress response with techniques this simple.
Try it right now.
