Happy Saturday Beautiful People! The post is the caption and my answer is TODAY! We’re out in Maryland, at my MOMMYBABY’s POP UP BOOTH, having the BEST TIME, meeting people and selling clothes! I love it here. #YesIAmOutHereInAFauxLeatherKimono #YouKnowImInMyElementWhenICanBragOnMyMom #MDFolksAreHappier

Good morning and Happy Friday Beautiful People!!! Super excited about the 3-Day #MomentumEducation Workshop! (And no, I did NOT drag Aku with me. Our smiles are real!) 🤸🏾‍♀️ #ForeverAStudent #AlwaysExcitedToLearn

One of the habits I’m actively trying to develop is: finishing one task completely before I start the next. I work extremely hard and I’m often frustrated because I end most days not “having anything to show for it” (To my family, friends, mentors - I know I know I know, I’m hard on myself - I’m working on that matterr too). In digging deeper, I realized that my lack of self accomplishment most times stems from the fact that I start a ton of tasks that I don’t complete. Hence, at the end of most days, I feel like I didn’t do anything at all. Hopefully, my quest helps me work smarter. This way, I can create more harmony in my life and make out time for happy things. Happy Wednesday, Beautiful People #KeepMeAccountable #EverLearningEverTryingToDoBetter

Good morning and happy 2024 OTM family! If you’ve been looking for me, I’ve been great. (I just kicked off the year with the wrong hairstyle, so January 2024 was more like 2023 Pro Max for me)! But now that my hair and mind are right, I AM READY TO BE ON MY MATTERR!! How’ve you all been??

Thank you Jesus: For this platform and for trusting me to shepherd it For my family (for being quiet [and sometimes even leaving the house] when I’m recording and for their unwavering prayers and support) For my mentors (who guide me and challenge me to exceed expectations For this community (who loves me unconditionally and shows up for me in ways that continue to blow my mind) For protecting me (from myself and from anything/one not serving your best interest for my and this space) For my team (who move things when I am unable or unwilling to) For the challenges (that teach me I am stronger than I give myself credit for) For my guests (who said yes and killed it because I know their time, wisdom and experience are gifts) For making the impossible, possible (Lord you used a podcast “no one listens to with “horrible production” to award me an honorable PhD… ONLY YOU) And for me…. Maka na adim BAD! #Everblessed #evergrateful

Hello beautiful people! I have a #LifeUpdate. Last month, I had the incredible privilege of receiving an honorary Doctorate of Philosophy degree from @exousia_university in Leadership and Business. To know me is to know I work hard! On the Matterr has been a labor of love, and this humbling recognition has left me truly excited and inspired to continue pushing forward. It serves as a reminder of the amazing journey I've been on throughout my career (check me out on LinkedIn) and the wonderful people who have supported me along the way. I can’t help but thank God, my phenomenal family and friends, mentors and the best community ever!! By God’s grace, this is only the beginning and it’ll only get better with time! #GodisonmyMatterr 🥹 #MyEffortIsNotInVein #Godtrulyrewardshardwork #YoungesttoReceiveThisHonor #AllThingsWorkTogetherForHisGlory #OfficiallyMyDadsFavoriteChild🤣

OTM IS 3 YEARS OLD TODAY Y’ALL! 🤸🏾‍♂️🥳🎉🥹😭 While reflecting, thinking about ways I’ve improved as an individual over the past 5 years, it dawned on me that today was June 7 and My podcast is 3 years old! Having a moment but I wanted to say THANK YOU! If you see this, you matter and your Matterr keeps me on my Matterr! #proudmoment #otm #otmpodcast #onthematterr #podcastversary #gratitudepost

I am in love with the #Mindvalley app! As a lifelong learner, I have gained infinite joy and prosperity from the lessons and programs I have taken (and continue to take) from the app. Currently, I am enrolled in the "Be Extraordinary" program, which teaches you how to live an extraordinary life. In today’s lesson, "The Art of Blissipline," Vishen (the founder) explains that most people are unhappy because they believe happiness will come once they get something they don’t already have (cliche, but stay with me). We keep thinking about the “future gap”. To combat this, he recommends that instead of looking at the “future gap”, we should look at the “reverse gap” and can do this by thinking: “How have you improved as an individual from the person you were 5 years ago?” Doing this will make you realize far how you’ve come and be grateful for where you are right now! By being happy right now, will make you attract the life of your dreams a lot faster FROM A SPACE OF PURE JOY AND GRATITUDE. You become more excited to live your life today (AS IT IS) as opposed to waiting miserably for external factors to make you happy! You get it?? Isn’t that exciting???! 🤣 Enjoy your Wednesday, beautiful people! Just sharing my HIGH! #beextraordinary #mindvalley #questionoftheday #loveyourlifeasitisnow #loveyourlife #OTM #OnthematterrPodcast #OTMPodcast

If you’re going through a lot, keep going, A LOT is heading your way.

HAPPY NEW EPISODE MONDAY! One of the hardest parts of staying on your matterr is having the patience and tenacity to keep going when everything says you shouldn’t. I’ve been there, in fact, I live in and out of this feeling all the time. In this episode, I share the importance of patience and why it’s important for your Matterr’s success. Episode out now, on all streaming platforms! #BePatient #PatienceIsAVirtue #BePatientWithYourMatterr #OTM

Do you know the difference between a manager and leader? Someone once told me “manage processes and lead people”… That hit and it’s stayed with me. Guest: @thelacimckinney

Greatest lesson learned from a Successfully retired Couple: God rewards hard work! In my most recent episode, I shared what I learned from a couple in their 70’s who are currently living their best lives in Barbados. Ms. Caroline said there is and will never be a substitute for hard work. She’s had to work while raising her kids, at different parts of the world, she worked through the death of a child and pushed through situations she was sure would break hard. When I told her I work hard and have been working hard since high school with no idea if any of the work I do even mattered, she told me “God rewards hard work” and that she and her husband are living proof of that fact. “Follow who know road” 😉 Episode is out now on all audio streaming platforms.

Happy Saturday, beautiful people! Question: What are you doing today to clean up your energy this weekend?
