Asked, by NOBODY!!👀
“You going to the gym looking like that?”

Me: “Yes.”

🪞Listen — we have to get out of this idea that we have to look a certain way to go a certain place.

Everywhere you go in life, you’re supposed to show up as your best authentic self.💯

It’s about taking time for yourself.

And here’s the truth: when you look good, you perform well.

Why?

Because you know people are watching.
Even when your energy isn’t all the way there, you step it up a notch.

So let’s get out of this idea that if you’re going to the gym you have to look like you just rolled out of bed.

I’m not saying you have to be extra.
I’m not saying you have to be exotic.

But there’s nothing wrong with
Putting some moisturizer on your skin.
Slicking down your edges.
Throwing on a little lip gloss.
Maybe even a little waterproof mascara.

(I like ornaments in my hair!
THEY MAKE ME HAPPY😍🥰)


Because you never know where the moment is going to meet you.

And that’s what The Elevated Woman™ understands.

She shows up as her whole self.

Not pieces of herself.

Some days it’s your education. Thats needed more!
Some days it’s your resources.Thats admired

Some days it’s your wit. That gets you in the door

Some days it’s your pretty. That initially grasps their ATTENTION!
Some days it’s your toughness. Cuz people need to see RESILIENT ppl!

And some days it’s all of it COMBINED!!
Mind Body & Soul

But you don’t EVER leave parts of yourself at home.

You don’t leave things in a drawer waiting for the “right time” to use them.

You bring your whole self with you — every time.

That’s elevation.

And that’s exactly what I help women do.

Show up fully.
Show up aligned.
Show up elevated.

You’ve been watching and wondering. 🤷🏽‍♀️
Now it’s YOUR TIME!!

I’m going to name this one: “Two Things Can Be True at Once.”

Isn’t it possible to hold two emotions about the very same thing — a beginning and an ending, joy and grief, gratitude and disappointment — all at once?

When we find ourselves standing between emotional extremes, the real question becomes: how do we regulate?

We’ve all heard the saying, “When one door closes, another opens.”
But what they don’t always tell you… is that sometimes you’re still grieving the door that shut while trying to gather the strength to walk toward the new one.

We know what it feels like to dislike something we once loved.
Two completely different emotions — yet somehow they learn to coexist within the same heart.

It reminds me of the question people often ask:
“Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?”

For me, the love is the blessing.
To experience something so powerful — connection, passion, purpose — is a gift not everyone encounters in this lifetime.

But loss?

Loss demands an adjustment.

Your mind has to understand it.
Your body has to process it.
Your soul has to make room for a version of you that no longer lives in what once was.

You recognize the blessing…
yet you still mourn what’s gone.

Two things can be true at once.

Think about coming in second place.
Yes — it’s silver. Not third. Not the bronze.

But let’s be honest…

You wanted the gold.

So you celebrate the accomplishment while quietly grieving what almost was.

Again — two things can be true at once.

So how do we regulate the nervous system when victory and disappointment share the same space?

I believe the answer is yes — both emotions can exist together.

Because life does not promise permanence.
No path guarantees “forever.”

And often, it is the tension between those emotions that fuels us when no one is watching… when no one is clapping.

This is where it becomes you against you.

Life won’t always hand you what you want —
but it has a divine way of delivering exactly what you need.

Sometimes regulation simply looks like this:

Sitting in the win…
while honoring the loss.

Not rushing the feeling.
Not numbing the lesson.
Not pretending you’re unaffected.

Just sitting in it long enough to understand what it came to teach you.

Because that tension?

It becomes your driving force.
Your inner coach.
Your perseverance.
Your resilience.

It is current you fighting for future you.

It is the quiet voice that whispers,
“Next time… we go for the gold.”

So sit in it — just for a moment.

Then reroute.

Stand back up.

And remember…

It has always been you against you.

Now go become the version of yourself that knows exactly what to do next.

📣Not all things are created equal!
Unfortunately, this includes Elders…….However, aging to become an Elder, has granted us the experience to understand perspectives. 📣“I would never advise my children to ‘listen to ALL Elders’. I didn’t say “dont respect them.” However, not everyone understands the lessons therefore they may not provide healthy advise; this includes some ELDERS. Not all are created equal!
