26 Sep 2023Ep.27 | Do This Spiritual Discipline If You Want To Overcome Limiting Beliefs00:09:33

Hey Sis,

Sometimes, we find ourselves wrestling with thoughts of self-doubt and limiting beliefs that hinder our potential and cloud our purpose. But the Word of God offers a resounding message of hope, strength, and resilience, consistently reminding us of our intrinsic worth and God-given potential.

 

However, it's not just about reading these scriptures but internalizing them, allowing them to permeate our hearts and minds. It's a process of renewing our minds. This transformative process requires an active engagement: meditating on the Word, declaring its truths over our lives, and, importantly, taking actionable steps rooted in faith.

 

Whenever doubt whispers in your ear, combat it with one of these powerful verses reiterating your value and capability according to how God sees you. With consistent practice, the chains of limiting beliefs will loosen, granting us the freedom to step into the fullness of our divine purpose.

God bless you.

01 Aug 2023Ep.19 // 3 Logical Reasons to Build a Capsule Wardrobe & Stop Wasting Your Time, Energy & Money00:10:36

Hey Sis,

Isn’t it funny how some habits serve you well and others—not so much? In today’s episode, you will discover what a capsule wardrobe is and how it has been a game-changer for me.

Getting dressed has never been easier and stress-free. Well, that’s the concept behind a capsule wardrobe collection. Your time is too valuable to waste trying to figure out, once again, what you should wear. This practice will be a life saver, time saver, and it’s a money saver”.

When you think about it, everything begins small-- countries, cities, and even corporations. Why not build yourself a capsule wardrobe?

 

Zechariah 4:10 tells us do not despise small beginnings.

I pray this inspires you!

31 Oct 2023Ep. 32 || Are Your Beauty Products Caring For Your Skin Deeply, or Not?00:11:27

Hey Sis,

In this episode, I present the question: "Are Your Beauty Products Skin Deep? You Should Care." I break down the often confusing world of beauty product labeling. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding labels like eco-friendly, organic, natural, and clean and their significant implications for personal health.

Rather than delving into all specific ingredients, although I mention some of the common ones you should look to avoid, the episode aims to ignite curiosity and empower you to make informed beauty choices that go beyond skin-deep benefits.

Read the labels and remember the wisdom that says, "If there are too many ingredients with names that you can't pronounce you probably shouldn't be putting it on your skin".

27 Jun 202314. 5 Reasons It’s Time You Breakup with Fast Fashion00:10:48

Hi Friend!

In this episode, we define the meaning of "slow fashion" and peek into the world of "slow fashion" to uncover five reasons why this growing movement is worth your attention. Breakups are hard mentally, emotionally, and physically. It takes time to get over a bad relationship, and it’s no different regarding cheaply made clothes. But, after listening, you will understand the positive impact of slow fashion and why it’s worth considering in your personal life.

I’m witnessing the popularity of slow fashion's growth start to balance the scales as more and more consumers have grown dissatisfied with fast fashion, looking for a change and seeking more thoughtful choices. This trend signifies a shift towards more sustainable consumption habits and rejecting fast fashion's disposable nature.

Once I decided to stop spending my money on “pretty” clothes designed to fall apart fast—it became easier for me to become a smarter shopper, and so can you. I encourage you to take small steps towards living a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle, and I’m here to help you reach that goal.

Thank you for joining me, and I invite you to tune in to new episodes every Tuesday for more inspiring, informative content that has the potential to change your life.

Enjoy!

Episode Overview: In this episode, I reveal a hidden yet crucial topic: the toxic chemicals in your clothes. You may not realize it, but the fabrics you wear every day—whether it's your favorite sweater or your go-to workout gear—could be filled with harmful substances.

As a fashion designer with 20 years of industry experience, I’m here to pull back the curtain on the 7,000+ chemicals used in textile production and their surprising impact on your health. If you've ever wondered what's really hiding in your wardrobe and how it might be affecting you, this episode is for you!

Action Step: Start taking control of what you wear. Check the materials in your clothes, look for non-toxic alternatives, and wash new clothes before wearing them to reduce chemical residues. It’s time to protect your health and make smarter choices for your wardrobe.

29 Oct 2024Ep 85 | Mom's Are You Protecting Your Family's Health From America's Healthcare System?00:12:50

Hi Wise Mother, 

In today’s episode, I’m bringing a greater awareness of how you can empower yourself with the knowledge and tools needed to step out of the reactive 'sickcare' cycle and into proactive healthcare.

I believe most people want to be healthy and would rather not think about or have to navigate insurance and medications if only they knew how. This is a transformative discussion that puts the power back in your hands. In order to have some measure of control it will involve you making informed, proactive choices about your lifestyle, diet, and even the household products you use.

The pharmaceutical industry heavily influences healthcare practices by focusing on profit margins. Billions are spent on marketing directly to doctors and patients, promoting drugs over preventative or holistic health solutions, which could include dietary changes or natural therapies.

Knowledge is indeed power. I recommend that families educate themselves about the medications they use, including potential side effects, and seek natural alternatives. It's also crucial to engage in and support legislative reforms that aim for greater transparency in the food, personal care, and healthcare industries.

If all this sounds overwhelming, I’m here to help. Join me for a FREE Wellness Discovery Call, where we can discuss strategies for staying out, or stepping out of the 'sickcare' cycle and into true health care. Check out the link to sign up for a call and understand what it means to be proactive about your health.

Xoxo,
