I asked an elderly patient years ago, “What is the most important thing you’ve learned in 81 years?”
And she said somethin I’ll never forget that I also heard on a past podcast,
“One of the most important things I’ve learned is health is the crown on the well person’s head that only the sick person can see & wealth comes in other important forms other than money.”
Ooooof. Who else felt that? 👋
She went on to say, “I wished I had changed my perspectives sooner. Mostly around the perception of being ‘rich’ & that in order to be seen as beautiful I had to be certain size & status.”
She realized she was always chasin a goal like being rich & losing as much weight as possible instead of embracing the experiences of the journey & being grateful for what she already had.
I don’t know about y’all but I love spending time with the elderly. They’re full of magical wisdom. It’s one of the most favorite gems 💎 of my job working in healthcare.
Simply walking & making my bed helped transform my life, lose 55lbs & keep it off.
[It’s not what you think & this is what people don’t tell you.] My healing story here⬇️
When thinking about a #millionairemorningroutine & the routines of the fittest people on earth, it comes down to the reason AND intention behind their actions.
Let’s be real, simply making your bed is not going to help you lose the weight but being a person that LEADS & keeps commitments to themselves, WILL.
70% of leadership is how you lead yourself. There is a difference between leadership & management just like there’s a difference between PREACHING & PRACTICING what you preach.
I intend to be a human that when someone talks about me I would hope that they would say, “She makes me want to be a better person.”
Had plenty of wake up calls where I asked myself a few things:
- How are you maintaining positivity in the face of negativity?
- How are you setting goals & plans to execute?
- How are you staying committed to yourself despite lack of motivation or judgement from others?
🔥People will follow you if you give them a purposeful reason to.
3 kinds of leadership:
1️⃣Physical leadership: Are you healthy & happy & nourished body, mind, & spirit to be strong & serve as a role model to others?
2️⃣Mental leadership: social media brainwashes & continuously puts what you want to see in front of you. What are you clicking on, subjecting yourself to, & what are you consuming?
Find the people you want to embody so you can learn from them & be better. Release the individuals who don’t take you where you want to go.
3️⃣Emotional leadership: The ability to stay balanced & even keeled in the face of negativity.
Know your mission & values. Your mission should be built on the foundation of your values.
So what are your values?
Mine: Service. Health. Wealth & Freedom. Self Nourishment. Extraordinary Relationships.

5 things I’ve learned in 41 yrs I’ll leave with you in hopes of you learning sooner than I did:
➡️Joy, purpose, fulfillment (JPF) vs fame, fortune, applause (FFA). Which would you choose? I choose JPF because if you choose JPF the FFA will follow.
➡️Forms of wealth: self mastery, self awareness, family, health, your craft, personal development, money, time, freedom, charity, adventure, your circle of genius & environment
➡️Don’t lower your standards or standard of living to meet your income, live strategically within your means to raise your income & standards of living to meet your standards.
➡️You are always replaceable within a company. Don’t live for them &/or make them your identity. YOU make money for them. YOU are the gem & YOU create your own abundance. Take YOUR GIFTS with you & have the confidence to creat the life of YOUR DREAMS.
➡️If you’re gonna chase something, chase service. Because👇
