When YOU are thoughtful, intentional, fearless & c

When YOU are thoughtful, intentional, fearless & consciously put in the effort to create the life YOU want & desire, you'll live your BEST damn life & will rarely worry/complain much 🔥 Not many people understand that cuz society expects everyone to have problems & live a stressful life. Otherwise, they label it as FAKE, but BREAKING NEWS ❌ My kinda people DO EXIST though extremely rare ✅ If I'm upbeat, happy & high on life most of the time (don't need NO alcohol for that), it's cuz I genuinely am & NOT cuz it's a facade or that I'm putting up a wall. While that's been others' popular opinion about me/my life, over the years I've come to realize that the majority is ALWAYS wrong 🙅🏽‍♀️ I live life on my terms, true to who I am & I DON'T have to prove anything to anyone 💯 Thankfully, others' opinions don't make MY REALITY! That's not to say I don't feel down, have challenges, and/or have it all together, BUT, I don't simply dwell on it, CUZ swipe 👉🏽 During a recent interaction with friends, I got emotional as I was talking about a family member. A friend said, its nice that you opened up/shared, you don't always have to be like you've it all together. She’s sweet & meant well ♥️ but she too, like many, fails to understand that I DON'T mean to hide my problems (I’ve no issues talking about/sharing anything), but problems are neva top of my mind (cuz I operate differently than most) & I'd have moved onto implementing solutions #actiontaker 🙌🏽 So when I share ONLY about the positives people have a hard time with it. While vulnerability is s**y, attractive & inviting, people don't realize that just like everything else, vulnerability too, comes in all shapes & forms, & my vulnerability shows up differently than what many are used to/expect❗️ So when I hear, 'it's nice to see you get vulnerable', I'm like, Umm (where my peeps at!?) 🤷🏽‍♀️ "The world wants you to be typical – in a 1000 ways, it pulls at you. Don’t let it happen. Distinctiveness is valuable & being yourself is worth it, but don't expect it to be easy, it takes much energy to maintain that distinctiveness." - Jeff Bezos OTN, Own YOUR uniqueness & DON'T allow others to fit you in a box 💥

I'm the kind of MOM who is more interested in teac

I'm the kind of MOM who is more interested in teaching my son Affirmations over Alphabets, Meditation over Mathematics, & Yoga over other Extra-Curriculars! 💥 While I won't deny that both categories are important, given how people go about their lives in the real world today it's all too clear that one is way more important than the other. Swipe 👉🏽 for #foodforthought Our education system sure has a lot of catching up to do❗️ 💣Otherwise, we wouldn't have many 'educated & financially successful' people who spend a majority of their day being anxious, stressed, worried, overwhelmed, and/or sad, having no time, energy, or the essential mindset to take care of their own physical & mental well-being. Unfortunately, the much-needed real-life lessons to be 'successful-well-rounded-human-beings' aren't taught in our schools, & hence so crucial that it happens at home. ✅What our kids need is parents who can help them understand that there is so much more to life than simply excelling academically & earning BIG 💰 & for that to happen, us parents need to be on that path walking the talk, practicing what we want to model for our kids & lead by example. It makes my mama heart sing/dance when my little one wakes up saying "I’M CREATOR"! 🥰 While he might not know the meaning of it all now, we are sure sowing the seeds! 🎋My #1 priority as a mom is to raise him to lead a grounded yet fearless life! I want to equip him to truly believe from within that he is limitless & NOTHING is impossible. I want him to brim with self-esteem & confidence, without self-doubts & limiting beliefs! 🦹🏽 My hope for him is to grow up to be one who recognizes & appreciates (embodies) that physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, & professional growth are all equally important. 📍OTN, while many may call these 'tools', I refuse to see it that way, as to me, these are simply the ways of life to lead a holistic life. You don't call brushing your teeth every day a tool, do you? Brushing is just a 'way of life' to maintain our physical health/hygiene, exactly how meditation, yoga, affirmations, #growthmindset etc are simply ways of life to maintain our mental health/hygiene

A week ago I celebrated ONE YEAR of being a @jaysh

A week ago I celebrated ONE YEAR of being a @jayshettycertificationschool (JSCS) Certified Life Coach (6th one to graduate) 🥳 a path that was NEVER a part of my wildest dreams & now I can't imagine doing anything else with my life BUT to powerfully serve my clients & help them transform their lives inside & out!!! 💥Life this past year has been beyond MAGICAL, to say the least. BUT, that growth didn't happen in just 1 year, or in 2020, it's been a SUM of all my life experiences & invaluable life lessons 📈 Especially the times when I hit rock bottom, the times when I was little & yet felt like an old soul, the times when I realized I'll never 'fit in' & will always be an outlier, the times when I couldn't help but constantly ask 'why me?', the times when I didn't know what the hell I was doing & yet blindly followed through just cuz my intuition said so... & now here we are 🤲🏼 I NEVER truly understood the real power of my journey & the power of having self-coached myself (all my life) until I became a life coach 🔮 I hadn't the faintest idea until 2020 that it is what I was doing, don't think I'd have ever figured it out if not for JSCS. 🔥And that journey of mine (which I clearly hadn't given myself enough credit for) is what makes me show up as fiercely as I do for my clients & 'guide' them as passionately in their own journey! I still get goosebumps after every coaching session, it seems surreal that this is my PURPOSE & I get to do this day in & day out. Speaking of which, sharing a recent gives-me-the-chills-kinda client story, swipe right 👉🏽 Eternally grateful to JSCS for being my mirror, for enabling me to recognize my superpower(s), & for empowering me (& 100s of passionate people who want to make a real difference in the world) to change lives, one coaching session & one person at a time 🙏🏽#jayshettycertificationschoolmovement BUT, I didn't come this far ONLY to come this far, I'm just getting started & it's ONLY the beginning 🧿 OTN, keep doing you, with all your ♥️ even when everything is falling apart, one fine day, when you least expect it, you'll suddenly start to see the sprouts - you'll find your true calling & purpose!

Back from our trip to California 🌁 and as alway

Back from our trip to California 🌁 and as always, no amount of time is enough over there to meet everyone we want to and to do the little bit of touristy things we hope to 🤷🏽‍♀️ On that note, some random (NorCal trip) musings👇🏾 ✨California weather is certainly overrated, especially in the summer (I mean, having to layer up in July is beyond me. A is wearing shorts over PJ pants) ✨All 3 of us fell sick at different points during the trip, I attribute it all to Cali's weird weather patterns (and we are all still recovering, ugh)! ✨We ate, we ate, and then ate some more the whole time, the best part was that I didn't have to cook any of those homemade yummy delicacies (I don't fancy eating my own food when 🤰🏽). Good thing that my pregnancy aversions are more tolerable now and I could enjoy most dishes. ✨Put this toddler in a room full of toy cars and trucks & he will legit forget the entire world, including his parents. Not that it is any surprise to us, but the intensity of it was (a tad bit) ✨Twin Peaks (drive, not the hike cuz the wind was so strong it would've probably blown us away) was one of the only two touristy things we did during the entire trip ✨This photo is one of the only two pics we have of us all 3 from the entire trip, which probably means we were living it up (sneezing, coughing, etc, etc, haha)!? ✨Cannot get over our friend's gorgeous backyard, wait for it, with a swimming pool, it's a whole vibe! ✨Hubby and I dearly missed our morning routines and our individual me-times on the trip, without our routines we legit start the day feeling as if a huge part of our day is missing (priorities) ✨We got a nanny for all our kids and us parents had 3 hours all to ourselves, having a peaceful meal at a restaurant = bliss #ifkyk (simple pleasures) ✨We are a touchy-feely family so having to maintain our distance from each other (for over a week) to not spread the germs is certainly a torture ✨Now if only we had more time - a feeling we always return from Cali with 😵‍💫 #california_igers #californiatrip #summervacations

PERCEPTIONS & OPINIONS 😳 You know what they say

PERCEPTIONS & OPINIONS 😳 You know what they say about opinions right!? 🧨 Others' perceptions about you DO NOT matter! The only perception that really does is the one that you have about yourself, the one that comes from a place of inner knowing/strength and not (the ugly side of) EGO 💁🏽‍♀️ And yet, most crave external validation while forgetting to offer themselves the MOST IMPORTANT internal validation. Many people endlessly worry about what others might think about them and their choices, & as a result, fail to live their life for themselves. Don't you think it's about darn time to —
🍃STOP worrying about the rest of the world
🍃START thinking about your desires and values
🍃FOCUS on living your authentic life
🍃BE PROUD of your journey If you are secure about who you are & what you do then —
✨It DOES NOT matter what others say (or do not say), period!
✨Others' opinions won't matter to you, annoy you or bother you... 👉🏽BUT, when others' perceptions about you or anything else (small or big) for that matter gets on your nerves, triggers you, & troubles you in any way, then it is an indication for you to deal with YOUR OWN INSECURITIES & DO THE INNER WORK (it's how you grow) instead of going down the rabbit hole of why or what others said about you? and THAT IS the journey of healing! ☮️ Next time, ask yourself, is what someone said true? really true??
✅If yes, look within & take action instead of taking offense!
❌If no, then think SO WHAT? & move on, you do NOT need others' approval or appreciation! P.S. It isn't always 💩shows or extremely traumatic experiences that one needs to heal from, there are so many ‘trivial’ matters that need healing too. Your dire people-pleasing desire? Yep, needs healing too⚡️ 🥁So plz remember, others' opinion of you is NONE OF YOUR DARN BUSINESS! 🧲I don't simply come on here & preach cuz it's the cool IG thing to do, but I share from real experience so I can get you thinking to take action. I practice what I talk about here (wasn't born this way or become it overnight, its taken tons/years of work) & at times when I slip (only human) I lovingly (or tough love) remind myself to DO THE WORK & NOT GIVE A SHIZ 🙌🏽

Happy birthday to my best friend, lover, husband,

Happy birthday to my best friend, lover, husband, biggest cheerleader, SOULMATE! 😘🎉 Never stop dating your SO (even after kids), plan experiences for just you 2, create memories as partners (not just as parents)! Life before & after V (my darling hubby)👇🏾 Before V: I made 💩loads of mistakes, learned from them, course-corrected some in my own ways, failed miserably at times & continued to make more mistakes. After V: Everything before was leading me up to my life after V, so we could together build the marriage/life that I'd always dreamed of, since little 👩‍❤️‍👨 Later realized, those mistakes were just so I could learn the lessons I needed to, discover myself, understand my true wants/needs & also be damn sure what I didn't want. 🙏🏾So those weren't mistakes but HUGE opportunities! If not for them, today I wouldn't be this strong passionate woman & wife, wouldn't have this beautiful relationship/bond that we share & I wouldn't value/appreciate him & our love as much as I've since Day 1 ❤️‍🔥 ❓Though, I'd doubted, feared, wondered, cuz of my own failed experiences, & what others said over & over, that if the kind of love/marriage/life that I'd always dreamed of (in others words fantasized) even existed in the real world? & if I'd ever experience it? 💯BUT, beneath it all, there was also this UNWAVERING faith & belief that despite what the rest of the world said to me about love/marriage/life, nobody/nothing was able to shake my dreams! 🔮 #MANIFESTATION That's the incredible thing about ONE'S true dreams, desires & faith, even when 100s of people say it's IMPOSSIBLE, your BELIEF that it IS POSSIBLE will make it HAPPEN! 🎯 From year 1 to date (we've been happily married, grown & evolved together for 10+ years), I've heard, continue to hear, that I'm fantasizing/romanticizing. Used to annoy/bother me at first, then started to feel sorry for those 🤷🏽‍♀️ Many are incapable of accepting that just cuz something isn't true for them can still be true for others. 🛑So, never Q your dreams cuz of others limitations, no matter how outlandish those dreams are! Others reality doesn't have to be YOURS! 💥DEFINE & CREATE your own life, & make mistakes!!!

Entertainment on the Go with the all-new @Amazon E

Entertainment on the Go with the all-new @Amazon Echo Buds, aka my prenatal solo hiking and walking buddy 🙋🏽‍♀️ [ #Ad ] With hands-free access to Alexa it’s never been easier to bring @Alexa99 with me throughout my day no matter where I am - from my hikes to school pickups to the supermarket to everywhere else in between! 🎧 💯 Trust me, you’ll never be more productive - the perfect way to manage work & play! Simply #AskAlexa to play your favorite Audible audiobook, music, or podcasts, call to check in on a loved one (or in my case 🤰🏽 call to give an update to a loved one), add an item to your to-do or shopping list, and soooo much more. Yep, there’s never a dull moment with Echo Buds as I enjoy my solo hikes and walks. This mama needs her quiet me-time & the ability to hike at her pace without a toddler in tow haha. ✅ With Active Noise Cancellation, Echo Buds are ideal for traveling, or if you need peace and quiet anywhere, anytime! ✨ Pro-tip: To turn on Active Noise Cancellation, simply press and hold either earbud or just say, “Alexa, turn on noise cancellation.” When you want to hear what’s going on around you, enable Passthrough Mode with a press and hold on either earbud or by saying, “Alexa, turn on Passthrough.” With Passthrough Mode on, you can adjust the amount of ambient sound you hear through the device settings in the Alexa app on your phone. ✨ Plus, the all-new Echo Buds are 20% smaller, lightweight, withstand splashes, sweat, or light rain (hello PNW weather!); and designed to be comfortable enough for all-day wear. ✨ Bonus: If you misplace your Echo Buds, simply say, “Alexa, find my buds” to another Alexa-enabled device, or press a button in your device settings via the Alexa app, and if your Echo Buds are nearby, you’ll hear an audible chime. I'm telling you, pregnancy brain is a real thing! 🙊 Now time for an update before I head back home, “Alexa, what’s my battery life?” P.S. Don’t worry, the Echo Buds come off right before I start driving! 🙋🏽‍♀️ P.P.S. I now use Glacier White Echo Buds as the hubby stole my Black ones 💁🏽‍♀️

Experiences Vs Expensive Things❗️One brings yo

Experiences Vs Expensive Things❗️One brings you true joy (totally vouch for it), the other brings you superficial satisfaction (maybe? don't even know TBH). 🤩 Experiences = Deepens relationships, creates happiness & long-lasting memories! 🤑 Expensive Things = No idea, but I'll give it a shot - they improve quality of life? (but do they really now?) status symbol? (meh) Experiences are truly a part of us & they represent our values. At the end of the day, we are really the sum total of our experiences 💯 But material things don't account for much! Our family spent ~2K (sharing $ for context only) on an experience of 2 hours = worth a lifetime of memories 👨‍👩‍👦 Hubby & I don't think twice when we’ve to spend our hard-earned money on such everlasting meaningful experiences but you won't be able to convince me to spend 1K on a designer bag or $500 on a pair of shoes💰 Just NOT my thang! Don't get me wrong, I love to shop/buy things (consciously trying to break the habit of buying more than I need). While I do like to wear nice things, dress up, decorate my home, etc, I can do the same by spending $100 Vs $1000 for ex, & spend the $900 on something our whole family can experience & enjoy. Our son won't care if we bought him a $100 🎁 for his birthday but he'll forever cherish that we toured the island in a Helicopter (being awe-struck) celebrating his special day 🎂 Important to instill these values in kids from a young age, leading by ex! 📌 You don't need to spend 💸 on experiences either, they don't cost a penny at times. The last time we were in Kauai, hubby & I went on a helicopter tour - the best way to see & take in the island's true glory (absolutely loved it)! 🚁 This time around we wanted to capture those memories through the eyes of our son & his excitement (priceless), so we ended our 5.5weeks trip in Big Island on a high(er) note! 🥰 ✅ BTW if you go to Hawaii or Alaska, I highly recommend you do a helicopter tour (or you're truly missing out, you'll thank me later), just can't beat that anywhere else in the US. OTN, always pay attention to how/where you invest your $, time & energy! They all contribute to raising your consciousness 💥
