Give yourself gratitude for your growth

Give yourself gratitude for your growth

Sometimes we need to stop and appreciate all the things we have accomplished. We need to acknowledge our growth and be transparent about our experiences. When we share our experiences we can help others grow too. Also, growth can lead to other opportunities that can help us evolve. So be thankful for life experiences and challenges because it builds character. # NoRegretsJustLifeLessons

Boundaries are not walls but limits

Boundaries are not walls but limits

Boundaries are not walls but limits that help you protect your mental,emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Boundaries limit how people have access to you, and boundaries teach others how to treat you. But when you're putting up walls, you're not setting boundaries. Instead, you are denying access to yourself to grow and evolve. Take the time to learn from your different life experiences, which will help develop healthy boundaries. #NoRegretsJustLifeLessons

Give yourself grace

Give yourself grace

We live in a world where everyone is just going and going without actually being present in the moment. We are taught to be kind and helpful to others, but we forget to do it for ourselves. We need to stop and live in the moments and give ourselves grace. Giving ourselves grace allows us to breathe and acknowledge our own existence. #NoRegretsJustLifeLessons

Being single on purpose

Embrace your singleness!!! Being single on purpose can help you to know yourself better and allow you to focus on your self-care. Self-care is making sure your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being is nurtured.

Fear robs you of your tomorrow

Fear robs you of your tomorrow

Fear robs you of your tomorrow, by stopping you from achieving your goals. We need to replace fear with faith, because faith allows you to believe in yourself. Faith allows you to pursue your goals without having doubts. I encourage you to not allow fear to make you miss out on opportunities. Remember you are more capable than you think you are. # NoRegretsJustLifeLessons

Grow the seeds and kill the weeds

Grow the seeds and kill the weeds

Grow the seeds and kill the weeds, is about focusing on watering yourself with positivity and encouragement. Allowing yourself to be around people who reflects who you are and what you want to become. Killing the weeds is letting go of the negativity and self-doubt.

There is power in letting go

In this episode, There is power in letting go is a very chill and relax. You can probably tell by my raspy voice, but I felt the need to do it.

Getting out of your own way

Getting out of your own way

We always hear people tell us get out of your own way but what does that actually mean? Have you heard of imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is the persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own efforts or skills. In this espiodes I express my personal experience of how I was getting in my own way. I share three points that are presently helping me get out of my own way. One, be honest with yourself and identify those areas of self-doubt and replace it with motivation and determination. Two, surround yourself with positive people, people who influence you to do better. Thirdly, be consistent and show yourself grace. #NoRegretsJustLifeLessons

Desire vs Purpose

Desire vs Purpose

I was reading Will Smith book, Will. In his book he express how desire and purpose are similar but yet different. Smith say, " Desire is personal, narrow, and pointed, and tends towards self-preservation, self-gratification, and short-term gains and pleasures. Purpose is wider, broader, a long-term vision encompassing the benefits of others- something outside of yourself you're willing to fight for." I felt this was powerful and important part of life to understand. #NoRegertsJustsLifeLessons

Seize the moment to fulfill your purpose

Seize the moment to fulfill your purpose

Don't miss out on opportunities because you don't think you qualify. Take advantage of opportunities because you don't know where it may lead you. Seize the moment is to take full advantage of life's opportunities whenever and wherever they present themselves to live to one's full potential. I've tried to get the most out of life by always seizing the moment. #NoRegretsJustLifeLessons

Accept the unplan

Accept the unplan

Random moment topic: Accept the unplan and be consistent in your life. Life is like red light, green light, and yellow light. Red light mean to stop and reflect and focus on yourself. Green light means your hard work and opportunities are present to you. Everything you pray for and manifest is right there for you to embrace and go for it. Yellow light means to slow down, don't be in a rush, and allow everything to fall in to place. Remember God's timing is the best timing. #NoRegretsJustLifeLessons

Balancing living your life and grieving of love one

The reality of figuring out a balance of living your life and grieving of love one is truly an ongoing process. I go over the 5 stages of grief, which are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I express my experience of this through the death of my loving, cousin Erricka Barbosa. While recording this episode, I realized what I needed to do to keep myself going. Which is to be consistent, surround myself with people who are supportive and that can keep me accountable, and lastly show myself compassion. #NoRegretsJustLifeLessons

Be aware of your emotions and feelings

Be aware of your emotions and feeling can help you make healthy choices for your life. I always say it ok to feel the way you feel and acknowledge your emotions.

Be your own self advocate is a very important because it is you using your voice to stand up for yourself in any type of situation. However, I will be talking about being your own self advocate in the medical field. Make sure you have a clear understand of what going on, know your rights, and ask questions. Don't allow other to make a decision for you, but you make the decision. Never make a decision out fear, pressure, or confusion. Take the time for your self and process everything before you decide on what best for you and your body. #NoRegretsJustLifeLesson
