Day 21 — Singing
If you know me, you know I talk in song.
Music has always been one of my first languages. And singing? It lives in my bones.

One of my greatest joys this year was singing with my baby girls during Thanksgiving. Frank Sinatra, Selena, JVKE — you name it, we sang it. There’s something so healing about harmonizing with the people you love, laughing in between verses, and letting music carry the moment.

Music has been with me in grief, in transition, in joy, in rest.
It is one of the purest forms of expression I have.

Joy is a song that dances through your spirit.

Day 20 — Training Across the Nation

Offering trainings nationwide has been one of the most affirming parts of my career.

Standing in front of clinicians, medical professionals, and community leaders — teaching topics that are deeply woven into my identity and calling — has filled me with purpose.

From Louisiana to Houston, from small groups to large auditoriums, each experience has reminded me that my voice matters and this work matters. And presenting with my girl Bonnie? That’s always a treat. People consistently comment on how connected we are when we teach, and that’s because we’re connected in real life. She’s my friend — on Zoom and off — and I’m grateful for her (and my newest niece, whom I will proudly auntie).

Joy is doing the work God created you to do — and doing it with people you love.

Day 19 — Family

My family has been one of my greatest sources of joy — this year and every year. Spending time with them grounds me, softens me, and reminds me that I am deeply loved.

Advice from my parents — whether it’s “how to be a plumber” or how not to crash out — keeps me steady.
Hugs from my nieces and nephew can reset my whole day.
Being the little sister to Yatta and Audrey has given me laughter, strength, and a sisterhood that carries me through every season.
And being a rainbow baby is something I hold close — a reminder of the love that came before me and surrounds me still.

Today, I’m spending intentional time with my loved ones, remembering my grandparents and my late sister on Grandma Grace’s special day. Holding them close, honoring their legacy, and letting their love stretch across generations.

A recap is coming.
But for now, I’m simply sitting in gratitude.

Joy is family love that wraps around you like warmth.

If the Holidays Feel Heavy This Year...

If the holidays feel heavier than usual, I want you to know something:

You’re not broken.
You’re responding to change, loss, and pressure.

The holidays have a way of holding up a mirror—reflecting what’s missing, what’s shifted, and what didn’t go as planned.

Today’s invitation:
- Stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?”
- Start asking, “What has this year asked me to carry?”

And remember, you don't have to earn rest... and if it feels right, you can experience joy (even if life isn't perfect).

Day 18 — Fine Dining

Listen… I will always believe in the ministry of fine dining.
A beautiful restaurant, thoughtful service, a well-designed plate, good ambiance, a delicious drink… that is joy for me.

Kenny's with Cori Hill remains undefeated — the staff knows us, the love is mutual, and the food is consistently soooo good. And catching flights to enjoy fine dining in other states? Top tier. California and New York continue to hold the crown.

It’s not about being fancy.
It’s about savoring life.
Honoring pleasure.
Celebrating yourself.

Joy is a meal that feeds both the body and the soul.

“Surviving the Holidays (Together)”

The holidays aren’t always joyful.

For some of us, this season brings grief.
For others, complicated family dynamics.
For many, a quiet reckoning with goals that didn’t happen, losses we didn’t expect, and versions of ourselves we had to release.

If the end of the year feels heavy, tender, or overwhelming—I want you to know this series is for you.

Over the next 14 days, I’ll be sharing reflections, encouragement, and gentle coping tools to support you through:
- Grief and remembrance
- Difficult family interactions
- Year-end disappointment and self-judgment
- Nervous system overload
- Making space for rest and self-compassion

This is not about forcing gratitude.
This is not about “staying positive.”
This is about honoring what’s real—and learning how to move through it with care.

You don’t have to be okay to belong here.
You don’t have to perform the holidays.
You don’t have to do this alone.

If you’re surviving this season one breath at a time, I’m glad you’re here.

12/17/2025

This past Saturday, I had the honor of serving as a small group leader at “Finding Hope in Darkness: Surviving the Holiday Blues,” hosted by the Metropolitan Dallas Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and facilitated by Kinnect Wellness Network. I’ve participated for the past three years, but this year was different. This was the largest turnout we’ve ever had, and it was a powerful reminder of how present grief is right now.

It was so good seeing familiar faces serving on the panel and as fellow group leaders, especially my dear friend Shavon Swain, who co-led my group. Her presence was exactly what I needed. Grief had been tugging at me heavily that morning and throughout the week, and being held in community while holding others mattered deeply.

In just the past week or so, people I care about have lost parents, spouses, and coworkers. Others are living with anticipatory grief. Holding space in that room was an honor, and it was also heavy. Holding others while trying to hold yourself is not easy.

This gathering exists to bring healing and visibility to emotional pain that is often carried in silence, especially in Black and Brown communities during the holidays. Your presence and your voice matter.

If you are grieving a person, a relationship, a season of life, or a future you hoped for, I see you. This time of year can feel unbearable. Your grief, exhaustion, tears, numbness, and quiet all make sense.

A few gentle reminders. You do not need to be cheerful or productive right now. Let grief be what it is today. Anchor in your body with slow breaths and a hand on your chest. Create small rituals like lighting a candle or saying a name. Lower the bar. Survival is enough. Ask for support or allow yourself to receive it.

If all you can do is get through the day, that is not failure. That is resilience.

Holding space for others is sacred work. Holding space for yourself is too. You are not invisible. Your grief is not too much. Your love did not disappear. It transformed.

I am holding you in mind and in heart.

Day 17 — Improved Health

This year, I committed to my health in ways I haven’t before — not out of punishment, but out of purpose and love.
I wanted to be strong enough, grounded enough, and healthy enough to go the distance with my mission.
And I wanted to feel better in my body, because I deserve that.

I’m down over 60 pounds, and while the number matters far less than the journey, it represents discipline, grace, endurance, and consistency. It represents the mornings I didn’t want to get up, the cravings I walked away from, and the moments I reminded myself that I am worth the effort.

I feel lighter — physically, emotionally, spiritually.
And the marathon continues.

Joy is choosing yourself again and again.

Day 16 — Flowers

Today’s joy is flowers — my weekly ritual, my soft place, my art form.

If you know me, you know I stay in someone’s floral section. Pink bouquets, fall arrangements, curated color moments… I love all of it.

Flowers have become part of how I care for myself. They brighten my space, soften my energy, and remind me that beauty doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful. And when my baby girls choose my bouquets? Instant joy. There’s something sacred in watching little hands pick out what they think Auntie will love.

Flowers remind me to slow down.
To breathe.
To take in color and texture and life.

Joy is giving yourself permission to enjoy beautiful things.

We're back....

If you’ve been carrying brilliance that never makes it past your therapy room or your notebook… this is your sign.

Clinicians deserve work that honors their time, their wisdom, and their life.

On January 23rd, I’m teaching Mastering NBCC Continuing Education, a live step-by-step workshop that shows you exactly how to create, submit, and run your own NBCC-approved courses.

Not as another hustle.
Not as burnout culture disguised as ambition.
But as a pathway to rest, income alignment, and impact.

If you’re longing for work-life balance—without shrinking your purpose—this is for you.

Day 15 — Client Growth & Laughter in Therapy

My clients have brought me so much joy this year.

Seeing them face their fears, meet their goals, heal childhood wounds, set boundaries, reclaim their voices, laugh more, love more, trust more… it has been beautiful to witness.

And yes — we laugh in therapy. A lot.
Laughter is healing, and healing doesn’t have to be heavy every minute.

Last year, when my grandmother passed, my clients had no idea that they were holding me together. Their energy, their stories, their humor… it was exactly what my heart needed.
People think we give everything to our clients, but the truth is: mine give me so much back.

Joy is shared healing.
Joy is seeing people become who they’ve always been capable of becoming.

Day 14 — Community With the Power Rangers (our nickname, lol)

Joining Dr. Arredondo’s consulting seminar earlier this year (with the Power Rangers) has been one of the most unexpected blessings of my year.

This community of brilliant minds doing liberation-centered work feels like home for my spirit. Together, we imagine, we plan, we challenge systems, we uplift communities, and we create spaces where healing and equity can coexist.

It’s rare to find a group where purpose, passion, and aligned values meet — but that’s exactly what happened.
I cannot wait to see what unfolds for us next year.

Joy is finding people who are running toward the same mission as you.
