and then dream BIGGER than that.

"If your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough." – Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

Dreaming big is powerful, but why stop there? Sometimes, what we think is "big" is just the edge of what we think we deserve. So here’s the challenge: push past that limit. Don’t just dream big—dream bigger than you ever thought possible.

1. dream it...then double it

Picture your dream life. Now, ask yourself: What’s one thing you’d add if there were no fear, no limits, no “what ifs”? Maybe it’s that penthouse overlooking the city, a career that feels impossible, or a lifestyle that seems out of reach. Whatever it is, claim it unapologetically.

2. break the rules

Who says your dream is too much? Too expensive? Too ambitious? The only rules that matter are the ones you create. Break the ones that keep you small. Remember: what feels "unrealistic" today could be your reality tomorrow.

3. BE the part

You don’t have to wait for the dream to feel it. Start now. Light that luxury candle. Wear that outfit that makes you feel unstoppable. Speak as if it’s already yours. The more you embody that energy, the closer it gets.

4. now level up again

Once you’ve expanded your dream, go further. What’s the next step? Maybe it’s not just a penthouse, but a global lifestyle. Not just a new career, but a legacy. Don’t let fear or “realism” cap your vision.

Remember when we used to play The Sims? There was something so powerful about designing the perfect character—choosing their look, their hobbies, their personality. You could decide what their hair would look like every day, what their clothes would say about them, how they’d spend their days and nights. You’d play out their dreams, and somehow, it felt like magic when those visions started to come to life.

Now, it’s time to stop dreaming in pixels and start creating our own life. The game is over—this is our reality.

you have to let go of the past

It’s time to shed the version of ourselves that’s stuck in the past. Let go of the old narrative. The one that tells you you’re not enough, or that you can’t be who you want to be. The imposter syndrome has had its run, but it’s no longer welcome here. We’ve mourned the past long enough, and now it’s time to step forward.

We’ve been clinging to the old, but now we’re called to something greater. We’re destined to move forward, but we’ve held ourselves back by staying rooted in who we once were. It’s time to release what no longer serves us so we can step into the future God has waiting.

In Penthouse Dreams: Stepping into My White Couch Era I painted the picture of my dream penthouse --- a year of luxury, freedom, and living unapologetically on my own terms. It's not just about the space, it's about what that space represents: independence, growth, and a life lived boldly.

But dreaming big? It's never as easy as it sounds. Even as I picture myself stepping into that penthouse, doubt creeps in. "is this too much? too unrealistic?" The practical side of me starts questioning, but here's the thing: PRACTICAL won't get you to your dreams. Practical keeps you playing small.

When those doubts arise, I remind myself: the only limits are the ones i accept. i choose to break free from old narratives that say dreams should be kept modest.

The "practical" life isn't for me anymore. It's about rewriting those beliefs --- like that owning a penthouse for a year is wasteful. It's not. It's living in alignment with my goals, my desires, and my highest self. I step into gratitude and claim it as already mine. Even when I can't see it all yet.

But dreaming big is just the START. The next step? Aligning your reality with your future self. For me, it's about creating little touches of luxury in my daily life, even now. Whether it's curating a space with soft neutrals or lighting a candle that smells like a five-star hotel, I'm already living in the energy of my dreams.

So what does your "penthouse" look like?

Maybe it's a career move, a dream destination, or simply carving out a space that's all yours. Whatever it is, don't let doubt keep you small.

your dreams are only as big as you let them be.📍

It’s never too late to redesign your life for the better.

Don’t let the noise fool you. There is no deadline for softening into the person you’ve always wanted to become.

You can start showing up differently.

You can change your mind.

You can get clear, romanticize the process, and decide today that you’re ready for more.

More ease.

More beauty.

More discipline that feels like devotion.

More mornings that feel sacred instead of rushed.

More nights that end with skincare and self-trust.

There is power in pausing. Even mid-year. Even mid-week. Even mid-emotion. And saying to yourself, “I’m not going to keep living on autopilot. I’m curating a life that feels like mine.”

So whether you’re resetting your routines, letting go of old dynamics, decluttering your space, or just waking up with hope again — you’re doing the work. Quietly. Beautifully. On your own time.

August is for the girls who are rewriting their lives with grace and glitter.

🌷 Here’s to romanticizing your reset.

Here’s to August being softer, stronger, and sweeter.

Hey loves, let’s talk about something that’s been heavy on my heart—vision boards, and why they might not be working for you. It hit me when I realized: so many vision boards are missing the secret ingredient—God’s guidance. We can stick as many dreamy pictures on that board as we want, but without God at the center, we’re just throwing darts in the dark.

Vision boards are not just about making pretty collages. They’re about faith moves. The truth is, we’ve all been guilty of setting our own plans and goals, but so often they aren’t in alignment with what God truly has in store. We chase what we want, instead of what He’s calling us to.

Recognizing Where You’re Misaligned Misalignment looks like this:

• Thinking you know better than God. • Getting frustrated with His timing when it’s taking longer than you imagined. • Forgetting that true success is rooted in surrender, not just hustle.

But here’s the kicker: when you align your dreams with His will, everything starts to fall into place. It’s like switching from blurry vision to crystal clear. When you’re walking in alignment with Him, you’re not just manifesting wishes—you’re walking in purpose.

Shifting to a Vision with Purpose Creating a faith-based vision board means seeing your dreams through God’s eyes. It’s about setting goals that honor Him, then taking the action steps to make them real. Here’s how to make that shift:

Submit Your Plans to Him It all begins with surrender. Proverbs 16:9 says it best: “People can plan what they want to do, but it is the Lord who guides their steps.” Stop trying to force your plan and trust that His plan is always better.

Take Action, Not Just Wishes Faith without works is dead. Dreaming without doing is like saying you want to eat and never getting up to cook. If you’ve got dreams, get moving. Whether it’s launching that business, starting that book, or stepping into a new career, take the first step.

Stay Consistent Consistency is key. Whether it’s your vision board, your fitness goals, or your faith journey, it’s the steady effort that brings the breakthroughs. Trust the process and stay the course. Keep your eyes on the bigger picture—God’s got you.

✨ Let’s Make 2025 Your Best Year Yet ✨ This isn’t just about creating a vision board with pretty pictures. This is about crafting a life that reflects your faith, your purpose, and the amazing plan God has for you. It’s about transforming from the inside out, stepping boldly into what He has for you.

If you're ready to get started, grab your supplies and let’s make 2025 the year that our dreams are fully aligned with His will. Drop a comment below and let me know: What’s one thing you’re believing for in your vision this year? Let’s talk about it and keep each other accountable.

Have you noticed how debilitating overthinking can be in our lives at times? It creeps in quietly, paralyzing our ability to move forward, to make decisions, or to even dream freely. We spend so much time measuring our lives in calendar years—12 neat little months, January to December. But what if we shifted our perspective? What if, instead of seeing time as months on a grid, we saw it as seasons? Quarters we could design intentionally, with purpose and focus.

Overthinking often creeps in when we lack focus. When our minds scatter in every direction, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck. The remedy? You HAVE to find a focus. Most especially if you are a multi hyphenate. Anchor yourself in something clear and intentional.

For me, this year, that focus is my YouTube channel. I’m not just focusing on creating content—I’m building something. A space where faith, storytelling, and purpose intersect. My vision? To scale my channel, to create content that resonates deeply, and to reach the milestone of monetization. But it’s not just about numbers or metrics; it’s about impact.

This year I decided to be intentional so I started by writing down what I wanted: What do I want my channel to look like by the end of this year? What kind of community do I want to build? What stories do I want to tell?

And then, I brought it before God. I asked Him to revise it, refine it, and align it with His will. Because a vision in alignment with God isn’t just a dream—it’s a purpose.

Seasons change, focus evolves, and visions grow. But with clarity, intention, and alignment, every season can become something meaningful.

Everyone wants to curate the life of their dreams.

But let's be real—most of you are curating aesthetics, not actual lives.

You're saving pins. You're making vision boards. You're dreaming about who you'll be "someday" while your real life is happening right now, slipping through your fingers while you scroll through someone else's highlight reel.

Here's the truth that no one wants to hear: If your goals only exist in your dreams, they will die there.

Escapism will never get you where you want to be. And you can't build your dream life by making cheap decisions.

You Can Have It All (Just Not All at Once)

Let me tell you something about "having it all"—it's real, but it doesn't look like the fantasy.

You can have balance. You can have the life you want. But not everything gets to be perfect at the exact same time. Balance means seasons. It means priorities shifting. It means some weeks your fitness is on point and your inbox is a disaster. It means choosing what matters most right now and making peace with the rest.

Having it all means understanding that your dream life isn't a destination where everything clicks into place perfectly. It's a practice. It's daily choices. It's messy and unglamorous and requires you to show up even when you don't feel like it.

And you absolutely cannot get there by running away from your real life.

As 2024 winds down, I can’t help but reflect on how much this year has shaped me. It’s been a year of growth, of stepping outside my comfort zone, and most importantly—of learning just how powerful community truly is. And I’m not just talking about the people around me—I’m talking about us.

This year, I set out to grow, and what I realized is that growth doesn’t happen in isolation. Yes, I had moments of personal breakthroughs, but it was through connecting with all of you—sharing, learning, and even struggling together—that I truly thrived. Every piece of advice, every conversation, every message—it’s all been part of this journey. And I am so grateful for that.

In the past, I might’ve been hesitant to share my setbacks, worried that it would make me seem less “together” than I wanted to be. But this year, I learned that failure isn’t something to hide—it’s part of the process, and the real magic happens when we share it. You all reminded me that we don’t have to be perfect to be powerful, and that together, we’re not just navigating our challenges—we’re building something bigger than ourselves.

I’ve had my fair share of doubts this year, and there were moments I didn’t know if I could push forward. But here’s the thing—I didn’t have to do it alone. Every time I felt stuck, you all were there to encourage me, to remind me that I wasn’t walking this path in solitude. Whether it was through a simple comment or a shared experience, I realized that we’re all in this together. Your support has been a game-changer.

But beyond the work and hustle, 2024 has been a year of joy in the journey. I’ve learned to embrace each step, even the messy ones, because those are the moments that make everything real. It’s about more than just reaching a goal; it’s about being present with the people who are walking alongside me. And that’s where the real growth happens—in the shared moments, the conversations, the triumphs, and even the failures.

2024 also taught me the importance of patience—with myself, with my progress, and with this community. Things don’t always unfold the way we expect, and sometimes, it feels like we’re going backward instead of forward. But this year, I came to understand that growth isn’t linear, and neither is success. We’re all on our own timelines, and that’s more than okay—that’s beautiful. There’s power in knowing that we’re moving forward, at our own pace, together.

As we move into 2025, I feel energized and hopeful about the possibilities ahead. We’ve laid a strong foundation this year, and now it’s time to build on it. Whatever comes next, I know that we are better together. Let’s keep lifting each other up, sharing our stories, and growing, side by side.

So, what about you? What has 2024 taught you? What moments are you holding onto as we step into the new year? I’d love to hear your reflections—because our growth is richer when we share it.
