Everyone wants to take credit for the good, but very few acknowledge the bad. I’m realizing that I need to embrace the bad, because the lessons it taught me were invaluable. I’m not saying the bad was necessary to I become the woman that I am today, but I am saying God took the bad and used it for my good molding me into the woman that I am today. And for that I am grateful. I was a self made failure, plagued with depression, anxiety, emotional eating, drugs, alcohol, risky behaviors, & the like. I was the lowest I’d ever been all due to the choices I’d made. But today I know and believe I am a winner! I kick depression, anxiety, and stresses a**es DAILY! There’s always a new fight, but I’m consistently gonna fight back which makes me a consistent winner and I’m grateful for that. If you’re finding yourself in a challenging space be encouraged. If you're a phenomenal woman on your personal journey of healing from childhood trauma like me stay motivated, live emboldened, #goalgetters #goalsetting #goaldigger #healthiswealth #transformationcoach #blackexcellence #blackhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #healthiswealth #winningmindset #blackmomsmatter #selfcare #family #mompreneur #entreprenuerlife #minoritybusinessowner #lawofattraction #hustleandheart #hustlewithease #smallbusiness #unlearnandrelearn #blackfamily #growthmindset know that it only takes one decision, one choice, and one action to completely change your life. #goalgetters #goalsetting #goaldigger #healthiswealth #transformationcoach #blackexcellence #blackhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #healthiswealth #winningmindset #blackmomsmatter #selfcare #family #mompreneur #entreprenuerlife #minoritybusinessowner #lawofattraction #hustleandheart #hustlewithease #smallbusiness #unlearnandrelearn #blackfamily #growthmindset https://www.instagram.com/p/CRy8bXRDpTf/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve always been considered the responsible one. The problem solver who always has her head on straight. This role extends beyond my family, to my friendships, work relationships, and virtually any relationship I enter into. If anyone who knew me had a problem they knew they could come to me to help solve it. This created an unreasonable amount of pressure in my life. Especially if the problem was something I couldn’t fix. Like a persons addictions, violent relationships, or even a persons internal motivations. It took me growing up to realize I can’t “fix it” for anyone else except me and I have to be ok with that. The meaning of life is for me to find my gift and the purpose of life is for me to give it away (Pablo Picasso). Not only is that something that I can control; That is all I need or want to focus on. So please be encouraged, If you're a phenomenal woman on your personal journey of healing from childhood trauma like me stay motivated, live emboldened, and know that it only takes one decision, one choice, and one action to completely change your life. #goalgetters #goalsetting #goaldigger #healthiswealth #transformationcoach #blackexcellence #blackhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #healthiswealth #winningmindset #blackmomsmatter #selfcare #family #mompreneur #entreprenuerlife #minoritybusinessowner #lawofattraction #unlearnandrelearn #mentalwealthmatters #mentalhealthiswealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CRorBETD6j3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Last week was a hard one and to be completely honest I’m still speechless about it. This weeks word is TRUST. I know that I have to trust God’s plan. So I’m back on my journey of healing this Monday morning. Focused on living in abundance in all areas of my life. Focused on love and growth, let’s dominate today! If you're a phenomenal woman on your personal journey of healing from childhood trauma like me, be encouraged, stay motivated, live emboldened, and know that it only takes one decision, one choice, and one action to completely change your life. #goalgetters #goalsetting #goaldigger #healthiswealth #transformationcoach #blackexcellence #blackhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #healthiswealth #winningmindset #blackmomsmatter #selfcare #family #mompreneur #entreprenuerlife #minoritybusinessowner #lawofattraction #hustleandheart #hustlewithease #smallbusiness #unlearnandrelearn #blackfamily #growthmindset https://www.instagram.com/p/CROmVvuD0om/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve been struggling for the past 72 hours and today it was like a ton of bricks fell on me. I’ve had to fight off cravings for my comfort foods because I realize this fight for my health is a literal fight for my life. So today’s victory, in the midst of my sadness, I chose to go to an early morning cycling class with my friends. I needed it. The movement gave me life and for a brief moment reminded me that I’m going to be ok. The journey to wholeness is hard, but be encouraged, If you're a phenomenal woman on your personal journey of healing from childhood trauma like me stay motivated, live emboldened, and know that it only takes one decision, one choice, and one action to completely change your life. #goalgetters #goalsetting #goaldigger #healthiswealth #transformationcoach #blackexcellence #blackhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #healthiswealth #winningmindset #blackmomsmatter #selfcare #family #mompreneur #entreprenuerlife #minoritybusinessowner #lawofattraction #unlearnandrelearn #mentalwealthmatters #mentalhealthiswealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CQmt4jdFptK/?utm_medium=tumblr

To my protector, my provider, my soul mate, my love, my baby daddy, my cheerleader, my coach, my motivator, my husband, my biggest headache, my lover, my friend, my everything I say Happy Father’s Day. You are an amazing husband and father. Our sons want to be you and our daughter wants a husband who will love her like you do and there is honestly nothing more I could ask of life. We love you 😘 @wordstaylor #happyfathersday #husbandgoals #fatherhoodgoals #babydaddysbelike #family #familygrind #familygoals #relationshipgoals https://www.instagram.com/p/CQWhc6GD37r/?utm_medium=tumblr

I started this leg of my journey July 2020, not quite 1 year ago. But In 11 months I can definitely see and feel the difference. In the top pics (July 2020) I couldn’t even fit the swimsuit top. I bought it as weight loss motivator in 2018 & never got close to fitting it. The bottom pics, June 2021, I fit the bottoms much better and I can now at least get into the top. It doesn’t fit just yet, but I am well on my way. My word for the rest of 2021 is consistency. No matter what happens, no matter the struggles or setbacks, I vow to be intentional about consistently moving 3-4 days per week, I vow to do my best not to overeat, I vow to be intentional about taking care of my mental health, and I vow to give myself grace daily. The goal is progress, not perfection. Everyone’s health goal is different, but I want to encourage you to take your own personal steps towards wholeness. Take time to start the hard work of tackling your trauma. If you're a woman on your personal journey of healing from childhood trauma like me stay motivated, live emboldened, and know that it only takes one decision, one choice, and one action to completely change your life. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQGzwK8DJqb/?utm_medium=tumblr

We outside for the rest of 2021 (well at least with a 6ft distance from others 🤷🏾‍♀️) #outside #thestreetsarecalling https://www.instagram.com/p/CQFY2fdjN-e/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sometimes it’s ok to just breathe, smile, & move forward. #goalgetters #goalsetting #goaldigger #healthiswealth #transformationcoach #blackexcellence #blackhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #healthiswealth #winningmindset #blackmomsmatter #selfcare #family #mompreneur #entreprenuerlife #minoritybusinessowner #lawofattraction #hustleandheart #hustlewithease #smallbusiness #unlearnandrelearn #blackfamily #growthmindset https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3eSyGDPcF/?utm_medium=tumblr

What a difference a year can make. Picture #1 July 2020 picture #2 May 2021. I look at these pictures and the difference in feelings are like night and day. I mean I’ve always been confident about who I am, but the woman in July 2020 used food to cope with trauma. Depression and anxiety often held me hostage and I truly felt like there was no hope for healing. Fast forward May 2021, not quite 1 year, 65 pounds later. I am well on my way to wholeness. Depression and anxiety no longer reside here, I’m intentional about prioritizing my mental health. I use food less and less to cope. And I’ve started EMDR therapy to address my trauma. If there was any one thing I’d tell the old me it would be some combination of “it’s ok to not be ok” and “you are enough”. I’m grateful to have started this journey and for the progress that’s happened thus far. I can truly say this is nothing but a God thing. And if I can do this, believe me, YOU TOO can do this. Be encouraged, If you're a woman on your personal journey of healing from childhood trauma like me stay motivated, live emboldened, and know that it only takes one decision, one choice, and one action to completely change your life. #goalgetters #goalsetting #goaldigger #healthiswealth #transformationcoach #blackexcellence #blackhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #healthiswealth #winningmindset #blackmomsmatter #selfcare #family #mompreneur #entreprenuerlife #minoritybusinessowner #lawofattraction #unlearnandrelearn #mentalwealthmatters #mentalhealthiswealth #fitmom #fitmomsofig #fitchic #throwbackthursday https://www.instagram.com/p/CPrqzzojnU9/?utm_medium=tumblr

I celebrate the fact that God opened my eyes this morning. Today started out somber as I knew I’d be celebrating the life of someone I genuinely loved. The celebration was amazing & inspiring. An added piece of joy flashed in my spirit as I walked past the mirror and realized all of my hard work is finally to the point where it’s noticeable even when I’m not trying to show it. #progressnotperfection #progress #weightlossjourney #clarity #themarathoncontinues #goalgetters #goalsetting #goaldigger #healthiswealth #transformationcoach #blackexcellence #blackhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #healthiswealth #winningmindset #blackmomsmatter #selfcare #family #mompreneur #entreprenuerlife #minoritybusinessowner #lawofattraction #hustleandheart #hustlewithease #smallbusiness #unlearnandrelearn #blackfamily #growthmindset https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJRdD5D2zT/?utm_medium=tumblr

6,043 days ago (October 14, 2004) my life changed forever. That was the day that you asked me to exclusively be yours. I had no idea that 17 years later we’d still be together. 12 years ago (May 16, 2009) we solidified our love even more by vowing “I Do” in front of God & our closest family and friends. And even after 5 years (of ins and outs/ ups and downs) I STILL couldn’t have imagined this day. 17 years together (5 years dating (off & on) & 12 years married) 3 kids later, several career changes later, several dreams realized later, I am more in love with you than I’d ever imagined I could be. I’m excited about the journey we’ve started, but I’m even more excited about our days that are to come. I wouldn’t want to do life with anyone else. @wordstaylor happy anniversary. I love you big head 😏. #happyanniversary #marriedlife #love #legacy #familyfirst #familygoals #couplegoals #marriagegoals https://www.instagram.com/p/CO8Wm6KDINn/?igshid=j1ntqf20vr0k

Took some time this morning to #refocus on what I’m purposed to do. While healing is my primary goal and gift to this world and those I encounter. I was reminded today what my legacy truly is. I’ve got some work to do. #goalgetters #goalsetting #goaldigger #healthiswealth #transformationcoach #blackexcellence #blackhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #healthiswealth #winningmindset #blackmomsmatter #selfcare #family #mompreneur #entreprenuerlife #minoritybusinessowner #lawofattraction #unlearnandrelearn #mentalwealthmatters #mentalhealthiswealth https://www.instagram.com/p/COfei-8jE6F/?igshid=11k3rsrpaxfi

Good Morning ☀️ Today I woke up and I’m excited to be my own motivation. I’ve fought hard to obtain everything that I have and I truly haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of the blessings that God has lined up for me. It’s important to remember daily to show up for yourself. Some day that may mean just getting out of the bed and brushing your teeth. Whatever step you take just remember you’re worth it! #goalgetters #goalsetting #goaldigger #healthiswealth #transformationcoach #blackexcellence #blackhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #healthiswealth #winningmindset #blackmomsmatter #selfcare #family #mompreneur #entreprenuerlife #minoritybusinessowner #lawofattraction #hustleandheart #hustlewithease #smallbusiness #unlearnandrelearn #blackfamily #growthmindset https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHLj-QDxVL/?igshid=3j7yf9khwn31

It is important that You protect Your energy. That’s no one else’s responsibility. So that may mean that you step back from relationships, interactions, or behaviors because you identify the need to self protect. Hear me when I say, that is a perfectly ok decision. Regardless of how your self preservation may “rub” some people. You have to do what’s best for you. Put your own mask on first. This is the most important act of self care that you could ever exhibit. You have 1 life to live, don’t let stress, negativity, or the energy of others steal that from you. #goalgetters #goalsetting #goaldigger #healthiswealth #transformationcoach #blackexcellence #blackhealthmatters #mentalhealthmatters #healthiswealth #winningmindset #blackmomsmatter #selfcare #family #mompreneur #entreprenuerlife #minoritybusinessowner #lawofattraction #unlearnandrelearn #mentalwealthmatters #mentalhealthiswealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CLCjvbxjBk6/?igshid=1094gkmphyzyf
