🚌 We went on an epic trip (turned out to be more like epic failures every step of the way, more on that later, stay tuned), slowed down, read about 3.5 books, ate, drank (more wine plz), ate some more, indulged in long-deep-meaningful conversations, played, laughed, soaked up more of our little one's innocence (and everything else that is him as a 3-year-old), caught up on some good shows, counted our blessings (thrice), experimented in the kitchen (that was the hubs (yes, he is tryna keep up with his goals), I'm super impressed & could get used to it), danced (like no one's watching), lost patience & cussed (that would be me, I mean, all those epic failures, especially when you go on a trip after 6 long months, ugh, but got over it real quick, thank god for the hubs, I know how dang lucky I am), signed up for and started more courses (try and stop me! didn't I tell you it's an addiction!?), cleaned & dusted every nook & cranny (soooo therapeutic), etc, etc... ⠀
⠀
📆 The hubs and I cleared out our calendars, turned on our OOO, and took a much-anticipated and much-needed long break from almost everything. If you have been around here for a while then you know that I love to take a complete break from social media, texting, WhatsApp (and what not) from time to time, so did exactly that (except a few inevitable texts and emails)! If you didn't hear from me now you know why. We did at least a dozen more things in addition to everything I listed above, will share in due time. But for now, we are rejuvenated and sooo ready for the rest of 2020! P.S. Yes, that’s makeup on my top!! ⠀
⠀
❓How often do you take a REAL break to reset and recharge? If you don't then I highly (highly, highly) recommend that you do so every once in a while (even if it is only to stay home in 2020 and do nothing), you will be surprised to see it's insane benefits. REAL growth happens in that space/phase!
⠀
🍁 On that note, Happy (almost) Fall Y'all!⠀
⠀
✅ Now, who else wants to (as I always say) END THE YEAR with a BANG? Then START NOW, it's NOT too late! Let's do this. ⠀

⠀
✅ TRUTH: If you have a goal, any goal that is worth pursuing then it is worth getting a #LifeCoach 🙋🏽‍♀️ Whether your desire is to climb Mt.Everest (literally or figuratively) or as simple as to get better at managing your day & habits (be productive, less stressed, etc) or anything else in between.⠀
⠀
💡You DON'T need to be suffering in any way to get a Life Coach, period! ⠀
⠀
❌ MYTH: You get a Life Coach if you have a 'problem'. The no. of times I've heard this from friends, family & folks on social media, 'oh this is a great time to get certified as a Life Coach, a lot of people are currently struggling with mental health issues or are going through some kind of pain.' SIGH! ⠀
⠀
🤯 Nope, you do NOT go to a Life Coach for mental health issues, instead, you seek the help of a therapist. Swipe 👉🏾 ⠀

🤦🏾‍♀️Trust me, I've been there, one with the biggest myths about life coaches & now know all too well what life is like with a Life Coach vs. without one. Yep, I have a Life Coach too, in case you were wondering. You gotta walk the walk! ⠀⠀⠀

📌 @sadhguru in his #innerengineering book sums it up beautifully —⠀
'On this journey, the guru is not the destination but the road map. The inner dimension is uncharted terrain. If you are exploring terrain that is unfamiliar to you, isn't it better to have signposts? You could find your own way, but who knows, it could take lifetimes. When you're on unfamiliar terrain, it's just sensible to take directions. On one level, that is all a guru is — a live road map. GPS: Guru Pathfinding System!' ⠀
⠀
⁉️P.S. In Life Coach speak, directions means asking the right Qs that you never ask yourself (or rarely ever ask but without truly answering them)!
⠀
🙊 P.P.S. When your understanding of a certain profession is limited then it's wise to shut up than argue with the one (who has been certified) & tell them what they do/do not do, your reality doesn't make for 'real reality'. But if you are genuinely interested then seek to truly understand & be open to accepting that you were 'wrong'. That is the only way we can grow, but coming from a place of ego won't allow that, this or life! #lifecoaching101

❓ Stainless steel cookware & utensils - one of the most frequently asked Qs every time I share anything related to the kitchen on IG stories. So figured I'd finally share that here (the upside of restoring my phone to factory settings last week, finally going over all images now & found these)⠀
⠀
✅ When I was growing up, my mom (perhaps every mom) only used stainless steel until nonstick became a big thing, but little did we all know how toxic & harmful using nonstick cookware is. But as I learned more about its damaging effects I got rid of all my nonstick cookware 5 years back & completely switched to the old ways aka stainless steel (linked in my recent Top 10 Favorite Finds post on the blog) 💯 But my mom has taken it several steps further (swipe right), I am for sure getting my hands on a few of them when we can finally make a trip back home. ⠀
⠀

I read 100s of msgs daily in groups where IG'ers fret about how messed up IG is & how defeated they feel. ⠀
⠀
A/C 1: Takes a quick outfit pic, throws on a filter, uploads with barely a caption but links to all the products... garners 5, 20, 50K likes & 1000’s of comments within mins! ⠀
⠀
A/C 2: Spends hrs coming up with creative content, shooting, editing, crafting a thoughtful caption to genuinely add value & inspire others... hrs later, still crickets!⠀
⠀
Unless we are part of ‘an elite club’ or do (secret) giveaways upon giveaways, nothing we do is good enough!⠀
⠀
Sure, there are a few exceptions, but just a handful.⠀
⠀
Likes, comments & engagement do NOT decide someone's worth/their talent or how valuable their content really is, but when you (IG) do NOT put 'valuable' content in front of people who already follow us but are only hell-bent on pushing products, then it does get on one's nerves & makes us Q why spend hrs putting out content here? ⠀
⠀
As unfortunate as it is, I've firsthand witnessed how this is also impacting people's mental health! ⠀
⠀
This hits even harder when IG is also 'part of our job' & our bread & butter. One could probably care less if this was just a side hustle or just 'social media'. ⠀
⠀
Now it's NONE of my damn business to tell anyone how to use IG - what to post & what NOT to, who to follow & engage with, etc. ⠀
⠀
I know, bottom line of this platform is 'to sell products' but isn't there a moral obligation to use any platform 'more responsibly' to do some kind of 'good' when possible!? ⠀
⠀
I genuinely ask?⠀
⠀
So Dear @instagram if we don’t learn from the lessons that 2020 is teaching us then I don’t know what else will? Many are 'looking within & doing the work', about damn time you did too!!! ⠀
⠀
Also, how are you missing the most basic point that the more you put our content in front of all the more we'll all use your platform? That’s not rocket science! Or am I missing something here!? ⠀
⠀
P.S. I am not discounting how IG is 'amazing' in so many ways but there is only so long you can ride on that wave!⠀

⠀
In feeling overwhelmed, guilty, despair, unbalanced, frustrated, lonely, worried, etc. As if these feelings weren't already dominating a mom's life, the present times have only amplified it. Leaving us to Q every single decision we are making, even more than ever before. ⠀
⠀
Should I send my kids to school or keep them home until this is all over? step outside the house? go to a restaurant? take a road trip? meet friends? how safe is that? should I feel guilty for thinking/feeling that way? ⠀
⠀
Not to forget how you are juggling work, home, kids, & trying to save the last of your sanity, & your job! Homeschooling kids in between work meetings, waking up early, going to bed late, catching up on emails at 1 AM, without a chance to catch your breath, the list goes on and on... ⠀
⠀
Mama, there is NO one-size-fits-all, there is NO right or wrong answer, what works for one kid, one mom, one family does not work for another, current times or not! The ONLY thing that really matters today is if my kid is healthy, safe, fed, loved & happy.⠀
⠀
But — do NOT let 'Coronavirus is killing (working) mothers' be a universally accepted truth & reality! SUCKS to hear that (makes my blood boil even) but it is, unfortunately, true (in many households).
⠀
Seems our society was built that way, ideally, SHOULDN'T be the case - equality begins at home, our kids are watching us & learning from us. Not to add one more thing to your overburdened life, but plz do your absolute best to ensure that your partner shares equal responsibilities at home (sure, might not be applicable to some families). Raising kids, feeding them, teaching them, etc, is just as much a responsibility of the dad as it is yours (Coronavirus or NOT)! ⠀
⠀
To the dads who already do this (& currently also feeling all of the above too) WELL DONE! To the dads who haven't been doing their bit, plz STEP UP, about damn time! ⠀
⠀
Mamas (& dads), you are doing a darn good job, I hope you know that! Plz reach out to your friends/community when you are losing it, even if only to vent, cuz sistah, you are NOT ALONE! Sending you warm tight hugs, SOLIDARITY! 👯

🎉 MASTERMIND, PLZ READ ALL THE WAY👇🏽⁣⁣⠀
⠀
👼🏼 Thank you for blowing up my inbox, I am over the moon excited about how excited y’all are, eeek (been up since 1 AM, no kidding)! Plz holler if you don’t hear back from me by the end of today. ⠀
⠀

⠀
✈️ ARE YOU READY TO MEET YOUR HIGHER SELF?

DARE TO REALLY CHALLENGE?👇🏽⁣⁣⠀
⠀
🤔#challengeaccepted By now, everyone has seen an overwhelming amount of people embrace this challenge & show their support towards other women, & that is hella great! BUT, the disheartening part about it is that the real intention & message behind it was completely lost in translation cuz we are so conditioned to simply accept what many are doing & sign up for it, no further questions asked #herdmentality ⠀
⠀
🤦🏾‍♀️Oh, there's something trending let me get in on it without taking 2 mins to actually pause, Q, 'google' before I do. How many took the time to look up the real meaning before posting a pic (not after the fact)? & how many posted a follow-up pic to clarify the real message? Sadly, even that has gone viral with extremely contradicting versions of its real origin & meaning #whenyouknowbetterdobetter⠀
⠀
❌ I got a lot of flak for sharing my opinion on stories, honestly, that doesn't bother me, but what does bother me is how limiting those beliefs are! While I know/get the intention behind the trending hashtag(s) not everything is an IG trend, none of it is any real use only if embraced for a day or two & then forgotten! ⠀
⠀
💪🏽 Women/humans supporting & empowering each other needs to happen every damn day, hell, I would know, building a business, both on the receiving & giving end. ⠀
⠀
❓But hey, here's a Q, how often do we simply scroll past someone's post without engaging even though we truly like their content (but only in our head cuz it's too much ego to actually like/comment/share? or is being a lurker far more satisfying?). Or is that not considered as supporting & empowering others? Actions speak louder than any hashtag/trend/image/words. When will we ever get that? Oh 2020, YOU are such an eye-opener! ⠀
⠀
🛑 "If you really want to wade in, assess why you feel the need to & if doing so will actually help anyone. But you can also just swipe out of IG & go sign a petition/make a donation/learn something new about an issue that’s important to you...Then take the little pile of energy you’ve saved & turn your attention to taking the actual #2020challenge: Doing the work to fight for real change” - @mashable
