The group chat wasn’t enough!  Three best friends. One house. Zero excuses.

The three of us are committed to building the next chapter of our lives the way we want it.

🎬 I left Atlanta while attending graduate film school and pursuing the art on my heart.

🚀 Barb left Philly in full entrepreneur mode, working to change the world.

🏠 Kev opened his home in DC while building his real estate empire and continuing his career at a Big 4 consulting firm.

We uprooted our lives and moved in together for 30 days of in-your-face accountability.

The experiment: Can living with ambitious friends help us stay consistent, execute faster, and accomplish the goals we keep talking about?

Welcome to Day 1.
Over the next 30 days, you’ll see the progress, missed deadlines, hard conversations, personal growth, roommate trauma—and whatever damage we can do to our goals and Chocolate City.

Would you live with your best friends for 30 days to accomplish your biggest goals?

Tag the two friends you would choose, and repost this to your accountability partner.

Real friends don’t just add to your life. They multiply it. taken in Washington D. C. by @b_dashing

Glory to God‼️

After 4 years, 2 lost houses, and 4 failed grants/ programs, God gave me better than I imagined. When I didn’t expect it, stopped worrying about it, and finally gave it to Him.

I drove to the property every day for 85 days to pray 🙏🏾 over the process, the tenants, the realtors, loan officers, counselors, the seller, and for mental strength and wisdom.

& everyday I promised I’d honor Him the same, whether He allowed me to buy the house or He didnt. And that I’d be publicly grateful and at peace.

I also kept a list of ways I knew God was in this process. Small blessings and favors that happened along the way in favor of me buying the house, completely out of my power.

2 months as Landlady Barb now, and it’s bout time I keep my word to Him. 😊

Thank you Lord.
1. Memorizing and reciting Your Word sustained me.
2. Thanks for the opportunity to trust, seek and wait until You answered.

If He did it for me He can do it for you! He luhhh you the same ♥️

Thanks Mom @shirlanadash for housing and entertaining me while I planned for this for YEARS. Living at home really challenged my self-esteem and identity but you allowed me to stay 🏡 with open arms and a lot of free food.

Thanks brother @thee_mrdash for being my needed voice of reason and emotional shoulder for the hard decisions.

Thanks babe @shawoo12 for your big and small support. Walkthroughs, contacts, contractors, house work, strategy sessions, prayers, encouragement and a space to breathe

📅 35 days to train

No. I’m not a biker. Never owned one.
I rented this 3 days ago 😳
But it’s been on my to do list for a couple years.

⬆️ DONATE to my $250 goal providing financial relief to the families of fallen or critically injured first responders. Skip the takeout, help a family! 😊

Goals are so funny. You hit them, and sometimes you’re mad hype, other times indifferent, or you’re on to the next one in 3 seconds.

I was personally disappointed I missed the time I wanted by 1.5 min, but I made my sub 2 goal. 🥂 to pausing before moving the goal line.

Running the AC half in Oct if you wanna join me 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

The❓I get asked most often?
How I get through long distances.

💭 This is probably 5% of my thoughts.
➗ my favorite distraction is a whole lotta math
🏃🏽‍♀️ Runners what I miss?

𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗘
(this weeks word)

Pre2025, I mistook pace for speed. I expected my results to reflect how quickly I did everything— and how much more I could get done than the next person with the same 24 hours.

I underestimated how it would affect my mental capacity and work quality carrying it all, and picking up harder, heavier things, along the way.

Overnight, it became too much.

For 6 months even the lightest load, old art hobbies I loved, didn’t seem worth carrying.

𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗘 yourself.

Don’t hit the wall. Think about what it means in the context of your life right now. It’ll change as life shifts— but if it’s sustainable and you’re sticking with what matters to you, I say it’s the right one.

my hot take.

I was actually really over it this day. Body hurt already from leg day and the speed runs couple days before 🙄

New 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏻- Save this speed workout.
Intermediate - Send to a friend and try it together.
Pros - let the rest of us live.
