POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I was trained for battle long before I knew peace.

Fight or flight lived in my body.
Chaos felt like home.

Then I became a mother.

And I knew I couldn’t carry war into my son’s life.

Loss followed me.
Grief met me.
And a butterfly garden became my sanctuary.

From the soil, I learned:
Even life requires death.
Even growth requires cutting back.

This year asked me to face myself.
To release what no longer serves.
To let the old beliefs die.

God never left me.
Even when I wandered.

This year is rebirth.
I trust what’s growing.
And I’m ready for what’s coming. 🦋

Hey 2026 I bite back. 🫦❤️‍🔥🌱🏋️‍♀️

What an absolute blessing it was to be involved with such an amazing event at @winthestorm !! I've worked in construction darn near my whole adult life and this is the first time ever experienced so many faith filled men and women who give God credit for their success. It's no coincidence that all these top level leaders act by faith and give back because of what they say God has done for them and their life.

Some key take aways:

In order to receive, you must give
If God isn't in it, it won't be sustainable
Always stay humble and you can always learn something new
I have the best team around me (I may be biased) and I'm grateful for the owner of my company and his leadership
Top level prodcers do the unrequired. Up at 4-5 am, reading leadership books, praying, listening to podcasts, in thr gym, and all that done before most wake up
@brandonjroofing is doing something special and we have an ability to continue to change so many lives

I love what I get to do! I love that God opened this door and allowed me the honor and blessing to be on a platform to try and help other people!

If you aren't happy in your career choice, the grass is greener over here at BJR!! I promise!!

I know it’s hard…keep going!

Don’t forget to give yourself a little grace

Life is leveling up and that person you are becoming is playing a whole new game

It’s okay to fall

It’s okay to cry

It’s okay to ask for help

Just keep going!

As @willbinspired says TAKE ACTION

Even on the days you don’t feel like it

You are BUILT by your experiences not broken by your traumas

Those traumas are going to try and keep you down don’t let them!

We are BUILT by our experiences not broken by our traumas.

Veterans, Law Enforcement/ EMT, and every human on earth can relate to this.

When it comes to our personal experiences we have two options:

1. We let what has happened to us unconsciously dictate our actions

Or

2. We face them, process them, and channel them into our next opportunity

Make sure you choose carefully

Some people have asked me why I’m running 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days

Well here it is:

In the world today veterans are a lightning rod. We are looked at as damaged goods…broken physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and even financially

Some employers see us as trained dogs who can’t fit in to the corporate environment

Most of society treats us like we are victims of our trauma not knowing that only perpetuates the issue

The truth is we are humans. We have had different experiences than most of our civilian counterparts. We look at the world a little different. We tend to have a much darker, even morbid, sense of humor.

But we are not broken

In fact, I’d argue quite the opposite

We are BUILT for it.

Whatever that “it” is…we are built for it

It’s my goal to show this by taking on one of the craziest endeavors I’ve ever heard of

I know I can do it…one small step at a time.

I’m BUILT not broken.

Thank you @willbinspired and everyone else who has supported me to this point! We are just getting warmed up

BUILT not broken shirt / 1 small step sweatshirt / a surprise t-shirt will go on sale next week. Let me know down below if you’d interested in being one of the first to get one (or all) of them.

Don't ever let those negative thoughts take over the positive ones. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you're better than that. Keep your head up and keep grinding. No matter how hard it is, I promise you there are always better days!

The power of NOW.

No
Opportunities
Wasted

I got this from Dr. Eric Thomas way back in March of 2015.

God provides the opportunity it is up to be prepared to take advantage of it

Do more get better so you can help Moore get better!

I am coming for it all.

The money, the fame, the fortune.

But also, the family, the friends, the strength, the aesthetics, the impact, and the peace.

That’s all part of the life I’m creating.

Hate me because I said it out loud…I’m good with that.

That’s the difference between us. You dream it… I’m making it happen.
