How often has fear of failure kept you from going after what you truly desire?

2020 has sure 'nuff shown me how manipulative and dangerous fear can be. I have to chuckle a bit because we often validate fear as a necessary response to the possibility of danger. Here’s the thing, when you let fear dictate your decisions, you relinquish control of your destiny to an imagination that isn’t serving you. All of my fear filled folx, do me a solid. If you are committed to spending your time drumming up a world of possibilities to control your behavior, let it be in service to the life you most deeply desire.

When I say I owe it all to them🙌🏾 … my Ma and Dad are whence I endure and press on in this healing work. I could spout out all the degrees 👩🏾‍🎓 and certifications, training, and association affiliations, but none could compare to the wisdom 🦉 I receive from my parents. Maternally, I am the heir of a teaching spirit that I carry into every classroom 👩🏾‍🏫 and therapy session. Using our familiar energy ⚡ I facilitate soulful restorations more blissful than ignorance. My Daddy gifted🎁 me a principled practicality that breaks generational curses on a weekly basis. So when you ask ❓ me about my qualifications, don’t be surprised when I give praise to Romeo and Vicki and the ancestors who decided my legacy long before I was born. My last name is my letters 💯.⁠

Little Known Fact... Prior to working with couples in counseling, I worked as a Flight Attendant. Wild, eh. What's crazy is my most memorable and difficult conversations haven't happened in the therapy office, but in the sky.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Folx are traveling for every reason conceivable and the range of emotions accompanying those journeys are just as vast. So shout out to all the FAs who effortless keep the lives of hundreds of folx safe each and every day. Many truly have no clue how badass you are. ⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀

You know, life is too short to be blockin' your blessings like that
To be blockin' potential blessings, like
Yeah, you may never get married again, you may never find the love of your life again, but
Hey, that's life
And please don't be in a situation
Where that person's tearing you down mentally, emotionally, physically
We've heard it a million times, I think emotional abuse
Is way worse than physical, sometimes
'Cause that just f***s up your whole mind
You could develop whole disorders like that
Whole disorders
You guys tell me why this old n***a from my past hit me up, talkin' bout somethin'
"Is your name Courtney? Did you go to Poplar Tree
In the first, second, and third grade? And you had like a light skin sister?
And you, um, you had a crush on me?"
I was like
"Yeah, that sounds like me"
And my thing is, like, n***a, like, you feelin' yourself
You're feelin' yourself a little too hard, talkin' 'bout, "You had a crush on me"
N***a, yes, at like, fu***ng seven
Relax, relax

Happy Today Your Majesty 👑! ⁠

Every week I notice certain themes pop up in my clinical work with folx. I figure if its happening in my office, chances are it is also happening throughout the world wide web. I'm not one to be stingy with knowledge and resources. So consider this a gift from me to you. I bring you: Top 3 Mistakes Couples Make When Arguing. Like 👍🏾 if you find this helpful!!⁠

Like many of you, COVID has drastically reduced my travel time to and from work. What was once a 20 minute commute is now a 20 second commute. Is it bad that I am STILL late to work at times?🤔⁠
⁠
Anyways, as a woman of intention, that time has been repurposed and manifested in fruitful ways. I now have more time and energy to mastermind with the DOPE THERAPIST TRIBE to learn and share best practices when communicating with the folx I love most. (You do know I'm talking about you, right?!) Since March, I've learned so many incalculably valuable things that directly influence my level of expertise as a couples therapist. It's been a blast sharing them with you week to week. Don't worry there's definitely more to come. Just stick around. You'll see.⁠

Happy Thursday Lovers!!

I don't know about y'all, but ever since I was little, whenever I get stressed out, I sing.🎤 There is something about getting all the breath in my body out that feels soooo goooood!!

I know, silly huh?! It's cool. I own that. Some would even say its something they come to love about me. Give me a good R&B ballad to belt out and I promise you TEARS!! 😂 Who cares if they are tears or pain??? If I'm singing by definition they are tears of Joy.💯 The record deal is coming, y'all. Can't say if it will be this lifetime, but I KNOW its on the way. Let me be great.

Which song gets you to your happy place???

Those who know me are aware that I don't typically send copious amounts of time on BookFace and IG. But here in the year of our Lord COVID, I'm up to trying something new! ⁠
⁠
I hope you are too! Sometimes its a bit unnerving to put yourself out in new ways. Especially when everything around you is demanding you to be as still as possible. I know your bodies are not as free to travel, but I urge you to continue to liberate your mind. ⁠
⁠
That means you will be seeing quite a bit more of me here and there. Yay! Together we will explore landscapes both familiar and uncharted. Totally looking forward to chatting it up on the lines. So tell me... what's one new thing you can do this week to feel a smidge more free?

Join us this Thursday!

Due to structural and systemic racism, Black people are twice as likely as white people to view the coronavirus as a significant threat to their health and their ability to survive if we contract it. Whether its overcrowded public housing units or rural areas with few reliable medical facilities, Black communities are positioned to have the poorest outcomes from COVID-19. During this national call, hear from experts on the economy, housing, health, data, and the U.S. South about the impact of the novel coronavirus on Black people and solutions for how we can endure and thrive.
