I support my client’s rights as well as their wrongs. I’m not a lawyer. They can talk about legal consequences there!

Every season asks something of us.
Discipline is hard. Avoidance is hard.
Growth is hard. Staying stuck is hard.

There's no version of life that's pressure-free, but there is a version where the pressure is taking you somewhere.

Choose the hard that aligns with who you're becoming.
Choose the hard that builds your future.
Choose the hard that expands your freedom.

It is such an honor to be appointed by Governor DeSantis to sit on the Children’s Service Council of Leon County. I am excited (and ready) to start making a difference in the lives of children and their families in Leon County. Let the good work begin!

Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.

Stop waiting.

Waiting until things are fair.
Waiting until it's easier.
Waiting until someone else sees your worth.

Every moment you spend waiting is a moment you lose growing.

And if feels hard, it's supposed to. Capacity isn't built in comfort.

Fun Fact: Most people identify neutral facial expressions as negative. Research shows that if you are a person who tends to get angrier more, you see more neutral faces as angry. So in a way, the way you see the world, changes the world.

Why is this piece of information critical you ask? Because if I misinterpret someone's neutral face as angry and I reply back with anger/offensiveness/defensiveness, then I end up making the person angry.

Pro Tip: Assume goodness in everyone and your world will change.

You are never too old to do anything!!

Remember: You're never too old to follow your dreams 🥹

LSU's 66-year-old freshman band member Kent Broussard is the perfect example of that. After retiring two years ago, Broussard set out to join LSU's band - a lifelong dream of his since he saw the Tiger Marching Band in person years ago.

Kent became an accountant and started a family, thinking he probably would never get to live out his lifelong dream.. until he retired and decided now was the perfect time!

Broussard had forgotten everything about playing the tuba after learning many years ago and trained for his audition, competing with those who are 40 years younger than he is. He didn't expect to make the cut, but he ended up getting through, and now he's the oldest member of the LSU band by 41 years 😅

When asked about the process, Kent said "The only thing you can do is fail. Your only failure is not trying." - and he's absolutely right 🙌

Many couples think they need to “communicate better," when really they need to face the fact that communication has become a shield for deeper issues: lack of accountability, lack of capacity, lack of emotional presence.

If someone says all the right things but can't or won't align their actions with those words, communication becomes a way to intellectualize intimacy instead of live it. A way to perform closeness without ever being vulnerable. Or worse a way to manipulate and control.

* “I hear you, I'll do better," then repeat the exact same behavior two hours later.

* "I understand how that hurt you," then continue to hurt in the same way.

* "I love you, you mean so much to me," while consistently failing to show up in any tangible way.

That isn't communication. That's performance. And when performance becomes the center of a relationship, it's often worse than silence.
