  • I’m Not Saying Anything Other Than What I’m Saying

    I’m Not Saying Anything Other Than What I’m Saying

    We spend so much energy trying to get people to understand us. Explaining, re-explaining, circling back. But the truth is, if someone is really listening, they’ll get it the first time. If they don’t, maybe it wasn’t for them. Say it, mean it, and let it live there. That’s not cold, that’s clarity. And clarity…

  • The Burden of Seeing Too Much

    The Burden of Seeing Too Much

    I’ve come to realize that most connections were never real to begin with…they were performances, shared illusions meant to keep people comfortable. Refusing to play along has left me isolated, but also free.

  • Question: Are You Chasing Legacy, Checks, or To Be Liked by All?

    Question: Are You Chasing Legacy, Checks, or To Be Liked by All?

    Are you chasing legacy, checks, or just trying to be liked by all? I’ve asked myself that question more times than I can count. Social media will have you thinking the number of likes equals your worth, while money feels like the safety net we’re all scrambling for.

  • I’ve Broke the Forth Wall…

    I’ve Broke the Forth Wall…

    I once said we’re living in The Truman Show, and I still believe it. Most people are born into a script they never wrote, walking through painted skies and staged oceans without ever realizing the set isn’t real. I noticed the glitch when I had to fight for moments that should’ve been mine without question.

  • Praise Without Strings

    Praise Without Strings

    I’ve learned the hard way that not all praise is genuine. Too often, a compliment is just the front door to a request “you’re amazing, now can you help me?” That’s not affirmation, that’s transaction. And when you’ve spent a lifetime being valued for what you do rather than who you are, it wears on…

    The First of the 9th Month

    We’ve made it to the 9th month. September. That means we’re entering the final quarter of the year… September, October, November, December. And instead of stressing about bills, rent, or even what Labor Day really means (besides barbecues and back to school sales),

    Trials and Translations if you don’t, then you should.

    Most of y’all are still sleeping on two of Instagram’s most underrated features: Trials and Auto Translate. Trial Reels let you test content with non-followers before sharing it with your audience. Auto Translate takes down language barriers so your content can connect with a global audience. Together? That’s free reach you’re probably ignoring.

  • You Don’t Want What You Think You Want

    You Don’t Want What You Think You Want

    Manifestation doesn’t start with a vision board, it starts with your nervous system. The universe isn’t listening to what you say, it’s listening to who you’re being. If you want love, become the space love wants to enter. If you want peace, embody the stillness your future is looking for.

  • Phone-Life Balance: What It Is and Why You Need It

    Phone-Life Balance: What It Is and Why You Need It

    Most people don’t realize how much of their peace they hand over to a device until it’s too late. I lived it, constant calls, endless texts, and an overwhelming feed full of bad news and highlight reels. The more I scrolled, the more I compared, and the more I felt stuck. It wasn’t until I…

  • SAY WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!

    SAY WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!

    Not tomorrow. Not “when it’s ready.” Not “when you’ve perfected it.” Say it now, say it with your art, with your words, with whatever tools you’ve got in your hands. If you keep waiting for perfect, you’re not protecting your vision…you’re burying it.
