✨There was NO WAY the demon of alcohol was going to release me without a fight. So, my Father above sent my flesh into training, to prepare for battle! When I started walking and got back to the basics of “selfcare”, little did I know, The Father above was preparing my mind, body and Spirit for the REAL BATTLE AHEAD…SOBRIETY!! And now with nearly 3 years alcohol free under my belt, my spirit and I are locked in and moving forward with grace and peace. THIS…is Sobriety. DON’T FEAR CHANGE…PREPARE FOR IT!!🙏🏽💪🏽💜
✨Good morning my amazing people! Welcome to your “Sober Monday Wellness Tip”. You know, for me, Sobriety wasn’t just about removing alcohol… it was about learning how to feel again without running from those feelings.
🫶🏽One of the greatest lessons this journey has taught me is Emotional Intelligence! Learning how to regulate my emotions, calm my nervous system, and self-soothe without going back to old coping mechanisms.
💫Walking, breathing, slowing down, and being honest with myself has helped me build the strength to sit with my emotions instead of escaping them.
🙏🏽Almost three years sober, and what I’ve learned is this:
The real work isn’t avoiding the struggle… it’s learning how to respond to it differently!
💜If you’re on this journey too, keep going. Your strength is growing every single day.

✨Hey my AH/mazing people!🤗Welcome to your “Sober Monday wellness tip”. You know, Spring reminds us that new growth only happens when the old season lets go.
💫The trees release their leaves.
The earth resets.
And healing in our lives works the same way.
💜Sometimes the breakthrough we’re praying for begins the moment we release the habits, routines, or coping mechanisms that no longer serve us.
🥹So here’s your Sober Monday challenge:
Ask yourself, what do I need to let go of to make room for something new?
And remember…
Walking isn’t just exercise. It’s a way to strengthen your mind, body, and spirit for harder things.
Let’s GO!!💜
✨Hey my amazing people. Let me just say…there’s something so powerful about being in a room where truth is spoken freely… 🤍
✨🥹I’m beyond grateful to have been invited as a guest speaker for the viewing of The M Factor 2: Before the Pause. The openness, the honesty, and the shared experiences around perimenopause and menopause created a space that so many of us didn’t even realize we needed.
💜💫A heartfelt thank you to McNichol of Premenopausal Baddies for bringing this vision to life and creating a space where healing conversations can happen out loud. This is what Healing in Motion is all about, real conversations, real healing, and community.

Sobriety 101…Learn to be alone, it’s okay!!🙏🏽🥹I used to think being alone meant I was lonely.
✨Sobriety taught me…
it’s actually where the healing begins.
💫No distractions.
✨No numbing.
🫶🏽Just truth, reflection, and growth.
💜Sometimes being by yourself isn’t loneliness…
it’s your chance to finally feel.
✨Hey my Amazing people Welcome to your Sober Monday wellness tip! I want to talk about FACTS!🤨 Weight loss isn’t the hardest part…of a fitness journey. KEEPING THE WEIGHT OFF…IS.
🥹And Sobriety works in the same way.
It’s not just about letting go of alcohol…it’s about learning how to LIVE & BE HAPPY without it.
✨If you don’t build a lifestyle you enjoy WITHOUT IT,
you’ll fall back into the same cycle.
💫That’s why I was led back to walking after praying so many years.
Not just for fitness… but for structure, discipline, and healing.
The Father needed me to “anchor” myself in something I could easily maintain MYSELF!
Ao, my tip today, if you’re struggling to find traction in your journey, whether it be fitness or sobriety🫶🏽🚶🏽♀️ Let’s start simple. Let’s go for a walk.
