Choosing Peace: My Journey Toward a New Life Abroad

I’ve been thinking lately: what if I left the U.S. behind and returned to a life more aligned with my roots, where both the ocean and my soul feel at home? As someone born in Trinidad and Tobago, I’ve always carried the Caribbean in my heart…the music, the beaches, the rhythm of community. Now, after experiencing all the hustle and stress of U.S. life, I’m longing for calm, stability, and…

Why I’m Done Playing Small

I’ve been laid off. I’ve faced major family disappointments. I’ve battled depression. And yet, I’m still here. Not just surviving, but rebuilding—piece by piece, step by step. Somehow, through all the chaos, I picked myself up. I started writing again. I launched my blog. I even started a podcast. I created two wellness journals from scratch. I’ve worked with Fortune 500 companies. I started a…

Discovering Grenada: My Birthday Adventure

This September, I decided to spend my birthday somewhere special: Grenada. It was my first time visiting, and as someone who grew up in Trinidad and Tobago, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I’ve always heard stories and saw videos about the island, but nothing could have prepared me for the beauty that awaited me. Grenada truly took me by surprise, and I’m so glad I made the trip. One of the…

Healing takes time

The truth is, I’ve been sitting with a lot—more than I ever expected to have to process. Life, in its unpredictable way, threw me a major curveball. My family, the very people I’ve leaned on most of my life, became the source of one of my most painful and traumatic experiences. This setback took me off course, and I haven’t felt like myself since. It’s been one hell of a year, but here I…

Navigating Relationships Where You Feel "Not Enough"

In this thing called life, we inevitably encounter people for whom we never seem to be enough. It’s a harsh reality that many of us face, but it’s crucial to recognize that our worth isn’t determined by the opinions of others. Embracing authenticity becomes paramount as we navigate relationships where our genuine selves might not be fully appreciated. We are all unique beings with diverse…

Mental Health Awareness

I wanted to briefly talk about Mental Health Awareness. May is Mental Health Awareness. So, what are you doing to support your mental health? What are you doing to incorporate self-care in your daily well-being? Mental health is an integral part of our overall well being, encompassing our emotional, psychological, and social aspects. It affects how we think, feel, and act, shaping our…

Saving Money feels good to me.

I am excited to see my savings grow. Watching the balance of my savings and investments grow is one of the best feelings in the world. I feel proud of myself when I successfully save money each month. Saving money is becoming easier for me each day and I’ve been also investing in stocks more since during this quarantine.

I may have struggled at times to save money in the past, but saving…

I let go of my insecurities

I let go of my insecurities. There are situations in life that trigger me to feel vulnerable. I may feel unsure about how to respond. In situations like these, I focus my efforts on letting go of my insecurities. I tell myself to release these troublesome feelings that are of no positive use to me. In some challenging situations, my emotions become stuck.

It feels as if I am mired in a…

I am comfortable in my skin

When I first started on this journey of writing more I took some time to reflect and did some deep soul searching. For most of my life, I’ve been the underdog. I’ve learned more bout myself in these 3 months than I have my entire life. I’ve learned that I love being the underdog. I love the pressure. It’s forcing me to push myself more and really break out of my comfort zone. Being in quarantine…

My Passion and My Love for Fashion

This year I’ve been on a rollercoaster. A rollercoaster of emotions not knowing if I’ll find my purpose. I’ve been hearing that term a lot more often now. Before last year I never really understood that term but I’m seeing clearer now. I’m learning not to procrastinate and really get things done. Finding my purpose in life or figuring out this thing called life has been as interesting journey.

2018 With Purpose

This past year I’ve been on a journey, but for the past few months that journey has become more purposeful and intentional. We all go through different seasons in our lives and we either try to change or give up the things that don’t bring value to our lives. We meet people along the way and we try to make an impression on their life that they may remember what you’ve done or said to them that is…

For me, it was filled with a lot of change, growth, unexpected adventures, hard conversations, many hours of reflection, and lots of time spent outside of my comfort zone – all which I welcomed with open arms. There is nothing wrong with making these common New Year’s resolutions. The good…

When the hardest part is getting out of your own head. 

You may find yourself doubting each and everything you do and that happens because you don’t have the confidence to say “I can do it, I can do anything I put my mind too through Christ.” Why is it so hard to get things done or do the things that we say we are going to do? There are so many distractions in our lives and YOU is one of them. We talk ourselves out of accomplishing things every chance…
