confession #1: I'm frustrated as f*ck.
Y'all know imma keep it real. I've been frustrated as hell with life and it's been keeping me down ... but I'm ready to STAND UP. I'm learning that life is all about remembering who you are through the bs. This episode is about remembering who I AM and why I do what I do. In the words of Aaliyah, "If at first you don't succeed, then dust yourself off and try again." Here's me, trying again.

stop being nice and set some boundaries b¡tch.

some days feel like a breeze, and some days feel hard as f*ck. on the days when nothing seems to be going right, the answers lie in how much you are able to release and surrender to the natural currents of life. stop forcing it, babe! just be!

"you're worth it!!"
one thing that I am sure about is that you don't know how much power you have within yourself! your mind is such a beautiful and powerful thing but more than likely, you aren't using it to its best ability. It's meant to help you manifest and attract all of the things you want. in this episode, I want to talk about the power we yield simply with our minds and how it can help us get out of a disempowered state.

a bad bitch loading...
sometimes we allow ourselves to live in a disempowered state. constantly second-guessing and not being kind to ourselves. this state is not okay at all. listen while Ellis works through the tendencies that keep him in a disempowered state, and how he hopes to change it. the general message of the episode: be the bad, unapologetic, and amazing person that you want to be.
