Blessings

What. A. Privilege.(Somebody say that with me.)

What. A. Privilege.


You tired?

Worn out?

Dragging yourself across the finish line of another long day?


Let me stop you right there.


That ain’t just fatigue.

That ain’t just being “busy.”

That’s harvest.

That’s the weight of a blessing you prayed for.


You used to walk the floors at night crying for that job.

Now it’s got you in meetings, in motion, in momentum and yes, in need of a nap!

But still…

What a privilege.


You overwhelmed?

Can’t keep up with the opportunities, the doors opening, the people pulling at you?


Family, that’s not chaos.

That’s capacity expanding.

That’s you becoming the version of you your younger self only imagined.


You begged God for growth.

Now you are out here getting stretched 

And baby, stretching hurts but it’s the only way to fit into what’s next.


Say it with me, what a privilege.


You ever look around and realize the life that’s challenging you

is the very life you chose?

The one you designed with intention?

You ain’t stuck.

You built this.

You wanted this.

You prayed for this.


And now you are being called to carry it.

Not because you are being punished but because you are being prepared.


What a privilege.


Let’s talk about growth.


You outgrowing people?

Outgrowing habits?

Outgrowing spaces that used to feel like home?


Let me tell you,

That’s not arrogance.

That’s alignment.


You are no longer settling for what’s good enough.

You are no longer shrinking to make others comfortable.

You are no longer saying yes to what’s beneath your calling.


What. A. Privilege.


To look back and say,

I don’t live there anymore.

I don’t operate like that anymore.

I don’t settle like that anymore.


Because the dream evolved… and so did you.


So before you complain about being tired…

Before you roll your eyes at your calendar…

Before you cry over growing pains…


Pause. Breathe. Remember.


What a privilege

to be walking in what once felt impossible.


You did not get forgotten, you got equipped. And every challenge you face right now is confirmation you are in the middle of the miracle.


What. A. Privilege.

Hit the Damn Reset Button. Your Brain is Begging You To

Let’s get real for a minute we are not robots. We are not meant to grind for eight plus hours a day, five days a week, fueled by caffeine and denial, pretending Teams notifications aren’t slowly eating our souls. Yet here we are burnt out, over-meetinged, and holding it together with the classic “Sorry, I was on mute.”  Newsflash : it is not fine. Think of it like restarting your Wi-Fi when the connection sucks. You don’t just keep hitting refresh you unplug it, wait ten seconds, and let it reboot. Your brain needs the same damn courtesy.  You are not broken you are just overdue for a mental reset. And what the hell is a mental reset, anyway? It’s not a vacation (though those help). It’s not quitting your job in a blaze of glory (tempting, I know). A mental reset is a pause.. short or long…that gives your brain room to breathe, stretch, and stop spiraling into existential dread every time someone says, “Quick question…”  Let’s blame hustle culture for making breaks feel l...

Expectation Bomb

I want to talk about the expectation bomb. Do you know it? Clearly stated, uncommunicated expectations are pre planned resentments. (say it again for the people in the back)  And if you are clutching your pearls at that, you are probably the one who needed to hear it. We have all been there, seething quietly because someone should have known what we needed, expected, or assumed was obvious. But guess what? They did not know. People are not mind readers. They are just trying to survive their own calendar full of back to back Teams meetings, a hundred unread emails, and Susan from comp asking just one quick thing. Here is the truth, expecting people to magically meet standards you never actually told them about is a recipe for disaster. And it is not just annoying; it is toxic. It is workplace sabotage disguised as professionalism. Want that report done your way? Say so. Hoping for help on a project? Ask for it. Need your boss to actually give you real feedback instead of vague thumb...

Fuel The Flame

Forget the org chart. Toss the employee handbook. There is a raw, unscripted kind of magic at work no one tells you about. It is not necessarily your boss or your direct report it is your ride or die. This is the one who speaks your chaos fluently, deciphers your frantic shorthand like it is poetry, and fires back a "YUP. Saw that too" Teams message before you exhale.  They are the voice defending you in rooms you will never enter.  They are not just supportive they are catalytic. Throw you two in a room and you can’t be tamed. You bring the fuel they bring the detonator. Kaboom. This is not about climbing ladders it is about lighting up the hallway as you walk it.    Whether they are on your team or in another department, they are the one who sees your vision, challenges your ideas into something sharper, and tells you do it when you float something wild. They do not slow you down  they set you on fire (in the best way). You will know your ride or die when your...
