Listen in as I explain the importance of being your own cheerleader, as well as why we must not rely on someone else for our own happiness.

This word has become a huge part of my life in the recent years and it’s something I talk about a lot in my content. Truly, it’s just a fancy word for making your dreams a reality. A huge part of manifesting for me is creating a visual. I need an image of something, or a concrete number, to really manifest something into reality. That’s where
This post was sponsored, and paid for, by SunTrust. All opinions are my own. Money. Why is it so hard to talk about? Why is it this hush, hush thing that we keep hidden and never have open conversations about? Talking about money can be taboo, but that has to change to move from financial stress to confidence.

Salads… doesn’t that word totally bring you back to trying to fit into a prom dress? It does for me. But salads are fancy now! In fact, there are entire establishments devoted just to this leafy green treat. You guys know how much I love creating recipes for you… so meet my chopped salad (I like to call it my “Chopt Salad” because of its tangy little twist).
