Happy Mother’s Day to every woman trying not to lose herself while taking care of everyone else. 

One of the most beautiful gifts you can give yourself is remembering who you are before the world told you who you had to be. 

For me… I can’t deny my creative side. 
It may not be the best. 
It may not be the worst. 
But it’s mine. 

Creating is part of my soul work. 

For years, I helped other people bring their visions to life, logos, concepts, ideas, brands, aesthetics, meaning , even during seasons where I struggled to fully build my own life the way I wanted to. Maybe part of my purpose was to help others see themselves clearer until I could fully see myself too. 

Everything in this picture came from my mind first. 
The concept. 
The colors. 
The positioning. 
The symbolism of the string and untying. 
The look. 
The feeling. 
The vision. 

Nobody handed me creativity. 
I carried it. 

And maybe that’s what I’m trying to say today: 
Don’t forget who you were before survival mode, caretaking, heartbreak, motherhood, struggle, and responsibility made you put yourself last. 

There’s still something inside of you that wants to create, dream, dance, build, write, laugh, paint, sing, invent, explore, or simply exist as yourself again. 

Go find her. 
She’s still there.

Look that mask in the eye and say, “I’m done hiding, I’m taking you off.”

Survival mode.

It’s always running like something is chasing you.
Every decision becomes an escape.

You’re running from yourself.
Running from your priorities.
Running from one person to the next.
Avoiding stillness. Avoiding truth.

You lose control… and become irrational.
That survival mode spills onto others.
You start trying to control everything around you.

You’re running from yourself
while running for other people.

Your perceptions, your fears, your pressure…
get placed onto them.

Comparison pulls you.
Titles pull you.
Degrees pull you.
Ladders you keep climbing… but never arriving.

Envy creeps in.
Pressure builds.
And your system can’t regulate anymore.

You’re exhausted… but you keep running.

“You will flee even when no one is pursuing you.” Leviticus 26:17

Untyd Trilogy in the making — unfolding in real time.

I’M NOT FOR EVERYONE. 🔥

I’m for the underdog.

For the traditional woman who carries loyalty and love in her heart. The family-oriented woman who doesn’t fit society’s cookie-cutter algorithm.

I’m called to show what extreme faith looks like, even in the trenches.

I’m called to show what a deep desire for community looks like. Not the fake connections, hidden agendas, or people who attach themselves only to destroy what community was meant to be.

I’m talking about women who genuinely show up for one another. Women committed to healing themselves, their families, and their communities.

I’m not for everyone. I’m for the fire.

I’m for the warriors fighting for their children, their rights, their place in this world, their growth, their healing, and maybe even their softness.

I’m for the ones whose looks can be deceiving. Everything may appear fine on the outside, but underneath, there’s a battleground.

I’m for the ones who wear aggression like armor because fighting is all they’ve ever known.

The ones who are rough around the edges. Who don’t know softness yet, but desperately want to experience it.

The ones carrying wounds, emotions, pain, and pieces of themselves they’re still trying to put back together.

But they keep getting up.

That’s who I’m for.

And if you follow me, if my words resonate with you, if you find yourself returning to my content, maybe it’s because you recognize something of yourself here.

But I don’t want you just watching from the sidelines.

I want you participating. Healing. Growing. Building. Showing up.

Because you weren’t called to simply survive what you’ve been through.

You were called to become something through it. And somebody else may be waiting on the version of you that finally decides to rise.

I’m not for everyone.

I’m for the ones who still have fire in them, even after life tried to put it out.

UNTYD. 🔥

Entertaining the Flesh: The 80/20 Rule

To me, entertaining the flesh is similar to the 80/20 rule.

80% of my life, I’m disciplining myself to eliminate the things that are not good for me. The other 20%? I might fall off. I might have that cheat meal. I might give in to temptation. But 80% of my life, I’m committed to discipline.

Now, what if we applied that same rule to how we live?

80% choosing peace over drama.
80% staying away from the bullshit.
80% practicing self-control.
80% doing the best you can to become better.

Because when the flesh starts talking, it tells you all the wrong things.

Be insecure. Be jealous. Be envious.
Compare yourself.
Go back to that toxic relationship.
Seek validation.
Be performative.
Prove yourself to people who don’t even matter.

The flesh wants immediate satisfaction. The spirit requires discipline.

And maybe growth isn’t about getting it right 100% of the time. Maybe it’s about making sure that the majority of your life is no longer controlled by the things you’re trying to heal from.

I’m not striving for perfection. I’m practicing discipline. And every day, I’m learning to feed my spirit more than I entertain my flesh.

You don’t go back to what made you sick and expect to heal.
Not the same environments. Not the same habits. Not the same people. Not the same patterns.
Healing requires change, not just distance.

I finally made it to a 5 AM workout! 💪🏾 I’m not claiming perfection, and I’m not saying I do this all the time. I’m claiming a mindset shift. A commitment to showing up for myself, pushing past my excuses, and putting that same energy I give to everything and everyone else back into ME. It’s time to press the gas on myself! ❤️

I’ve been a writer since high school, alongside being a poet. Not in a professional sense, but as a form of relief.

That’s why I journal. I’ve learned to let my emotions process through creativity. When I’m trying to understand something I’m feeling, I can journal about it, turn it into a story, or create a poem from it.

If this is an area that interests you, I can help you learn how to journal and use writing as a tool for emotional processing.

But as I’ve developed, I’ve learned something even deeper:

Processing needs somewhere beautiful to go.

It’s not enough for me to simply talk about the past, write about it, or understand why I feel the way I feel.

The processing has to be matched with transformation.

Otherwise, I’m just becoming better at telling the story of what happened to me instead of allowing that story to change what happens next.

Process it. Write it. Feel it. Then transform it.

That’s healing. That’s growth. That’s Untyd.
