It’s important that you hone in on the skill of trusting yourself and your gut instincts. That small voice in the back of your head that tells you not to do something. Listen to your intuition and trust that it would not misguide or mislead you. It takes practice and repetition, and seeing the proof in what happens when you don’t listen to your gut. I invite you today to begin practicing the art of trusting yourself. You’ll be glad you did.
After spending intentional time in reflection, pouring my heart into writing, and bringing Finding Your Truest You to life, I finally released it into the world.
This was one of my most personal and vulnerable projects—one that demanded deep introspection and courage.

It is in the midst of change that we often discover wings we never knew we had. Sometimes change can feel uncomfortable at first, especially if it is not something that you initiated. Sometimes change is very necessary and you hesitate to be the one to make it. Sometimes changes happen in the normal course of life and we have a choice to make; either let that change overwhelm you or allow it to make you better. The choice is yours. Here are a few of my favorite things to remind me that God gave me wings to fly! If you need to be reminded, grab one for yourself. https://amzn.to/3woQNKQ https://amzn.to/3QyUTag
What are some causes that you passionately advocate for? Are you fighting for gender equality, fair wages, or respect in your personal and professional relationships? Do you strive to make your voice heard and contribute meaningfully to important conversations?
Love serves as the cornerstone of existence and is undeniably the most significant pursuit. Whether it’s your love for your profession, family, friends, or fellow beings, love is the force behind it all. Even self-love encompasses a multitude of aspects. Ultimately, love is a cause worth fighting for. Are you actively advocating for love in your life today? I wholeheartedly urge you to do so.
Do you ever hide behind something? Maybe you hide behind a smile when you are really hurting inside. This smile might be a shield, protecting you from the outside world, making it seem like everything is fine even when it’s not. It can often feel like a necessity to keep up appearances, yet doing so can sometimes deepen the emotional wounds we are trying to conceal.
Perhaps you hide behind the busyness of your schedule, filling every waking moment with tasks and distractions. This constant hustle might keep you from having to confront deeper issues. It can feel safer to be busy, to avoid moments of stillness where uncomfortable thoughts and feelings might surface. But this relentless pace can eventually lead to burnout, leaving you feeling even more disconnected and exhausted.
Or maybe you are simply hiding behind the world’s idea and opinion of you, allowing societal expectations to stifle your true self and creativity. It’s easy to get lost in trying to meet others’ expectations, conforming to norms and standards that don’t reflect your true essence. This can be stifling, preventing you from expressing your unique talents and perspectives.
If you are hiding behind anything, I encourage you to come into the light. Come out from wherever you are hiding from, face your fears, and embrace your authentic self. Stand up for yourself and your values, regardless of what others might think. It might be challenging at first, but allowing yourself to be seen and heard can be incredibly liberating. By stepping into your true self, you not only honor your own journey but also inspire others to do the same. Embrace your imperfections and vulnerabilities as part of your unique story and let them become the source of your strength and authenticity.
In my journey as a Self Discovery Speaker and Author at Resilient, I’ve witnessed the profound transformation that occurs when individuals embrace the journey of self-discovery. It’s not merely about finding oneself; it’s about delving deep into the core of who they are and uncovering the essence of true identity. Join me as I explore the empowering process of self-discovery and its ability to illuminate the path toward personal growth and fulfillment.
Embracing Authenticity
Authenticity serves as the cornerstone of self-discovery. It involves peeling away the layers of societal expectations and external influences to reveal the authentic self that lies beneath. Embracing my own true authenticity has been liberating, allowing me to honor my unique qualities, quirks, and passions without reservation.
Navigating Life’s Challenges
The journey of self-discovery is not without its challenges. During my journey, I encountered obstacles and setbacks, testing my resilience. However, these challenges served as opportunities for growth and introspection. By confronting adversity head-on, I was able to cultivate a deeper understanding of myself and emerge stronger than ever before.
Finding Purpose
At the heart of self-discovery lies purpose. Through self-reflection and observation, I unearthed a profound sense of purpose that drives me forward each day. As a Self Discovery Speaker and Author, I am passionate about helping others embark on their own journeys of self-discovery, empowering them to uncover their true identities and live authentically.
The Transformative Power of Self-Reflection
Self-reflection is a powerful tool in the journey of self-discovery. By setting aside time for relaxation, meditation, exercise and other forms of stress release, I gained clarity on my values, beliefs, and aspirations. Journaling, and mindfulness practices have been invaluable in fostering self-awareness and guiding me towards personal growth and fulfillment.
Embracing Change
Self-discovery is an ongoing process of growth and evolution. It requires a willingness to embrace change and step outside of your comfort zone. By remaining open to new experiences and perspectives, you will continue to expand your horizons and uncover new facets of your identity. I know I did.
In conclusion, the journey of self-discovery is a transformative experience that has the power to enrich every aspect of life. If you’re ready to embark on your own journey of self-discovery, I invite you to connect with me at Resilient.

I talk a lot about learning that my vulnerability is a super power over the past five years. One thing I still get hung up on is when/how to be vulnerable at work.
According to Culture Works HR, 60% of Americans struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives.
Quora says that vulnerability is natural and should be embedded within any company’s culture. “It creates trust and promotes acceptance and empathy when giving and receiving feedback. It also helps with effective problem solving and decision making.”
According to Toner Buzz, 85% of companies that offer work-life balance programs report an increase in productivity, while 33% of employees with a good balance say they plan to stay longer in their current role.
The fear of making connections and being vulnerable can stem from various sources, such as past traumatic experiences, fear of rejection or abandonment, low self esteem, or a lack of trust in others. This is true whether in your personal or professional life.
So how can you change that?
-Focus on building self awareness;
-Practice active listening;
-Share your thoughts and feelings appropriately;
Do you have a difficult time being vulnerable? Try a few of these to help get you started.
