Last Friday it was Olin’s birthday and seeing the smile on his face when he saw me waiting for him as he came out of school was priceless. ⁣
⁣
To me these are the things that matter most… being able to drop/pick up my boys from school.⁣
⁣
Instead of sitting at a desk or in a boring meeting in pins and needles waiting for a stranger to pick him up and receive the “we’re home” safe text. ⁣
⁣
When I worked at my corp job, ⁣
I didn’t hate it, but after a while I felt the work I was doing wasn’t aligning with my passions. ⁣
⁣
Everyday I felt a tug in my heart because I was constantly trading off things I really cared about when working 40+ hours and or traveling for work. ⁣
⁣
I kept hearing these whispers of “this cannot be it” there’s gotta be something more, different for me”. ⁣
⁣
So, I decided to started a side business while working full time and it shifted my view on what it meant to be living the American dream. ⁣
⁣
I did it, so I know other women my boys, nieces, nephews can do it too. ⁣

Self-Care is not Self-Indulgence. ⁣It’s a Discipline. It’s Self-Preservation 🫶🏾⁣
⁣
My mom didn’t teach me about self-care in the pseudo-commercialized way we know it today. ⁣
⁣
Growing up even with the zillions things she had on her to-do list she always found time to get a facial, or her nails, or her hair done, fill her cup first. ⁣
⁣
She taught me taking care of myself first wasn’t a self-indulgence act, but a practice to help you feel your best. ⁣
⁣
Rituals that have a positive emotional and mental impact giving you the confidence to show up as the best version of yourself everywhere. ⁣
⁣
Rituals that helped me understand self-care goes beyond getting your nails done. ⁣
And as I grew older I added working out and building a life I don’t need to escape from as ways of self-care. ⁣

It makes you a better human being⁣

If you believe in entrepreneurship, why are your boys to attending college!?⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
Last week my first born graduated from high school. While catching up with friends both entrepreneurs building a social selling biz and people who work in our higher education system I was asked this question. ⁣
⁣
Now Tod and I were both raised in upper middle-class families.⁣
⁣
We are both Americans, but I’m the daughter of immigrant parents. ⁣
⁣
And despite my parents having an education and my dad his own business they sought security and got jobs when they arrived to this country. ⁣
⁣
So when the question "why are you sending your kids to college?" arose, I took a deep breath and said I didn't care whether or not my boys went to college.⁣
⁣
In fact, I'd rather take the money we've set up for college and help them establish their own businesses, if that's what they want.⁣
⁣
But, this question gets to the heart of what's going on in America today with our younger generation. ⁣
⁣
I believe our educational system is broken. ⁣ And we must let go of societal expectations about what education and careers "should" look like.⁣
⁣
Instead we should focus on what our children are passionate about and will lead them to living a fulfilled life rather than what 'WE' or society wants for them. ⁣
⁣
𝗜𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗼? 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.⁣
⁣
I’m not regretting having invested in my college & graduate education but I believe we should be shown other possibilities and non-traditional paths. ⁣
⁣
The internet is one of those as it enables anyone to build a home business.⁣
⁣
For this generation, college degrees are no longer a "safety net” and they don’t guarantee a "secure corporate employment."⁣
⁣
Davin is attending college because it’s his choice and the next logical step for him to master what he is passionate about.⁣
⁣
There is no easy answer except to ask Olin what HE wants to do when the time comes.⁣
⁣
I'd love to hear your thoughts below 👇🏾 on the matter and how you are approaching this with your kids. by @yvettesceo

I’ve loved summer ever since I can remember. ⁣
⁣
⁣
I tend to favor the warm weather, dressing lighter, the longer days, and the first day of summer definitely calls for a reason to celebrate.⁣
⁣
Here’s to short shorts, lounging on pool floats martinis al fresco, driving with the windows down, beach walks and ice cream nights.⁣
⁣
We have a family tradition of going for ice cream to celebrate the first day of summer.⁣
⁣
Last year our preferred ice cream place was still only drive thru, this year they are back and so we got to enjoy our ice cream while sitting at the most cute backyard. ⁣
⁣
Beautiful night and yummy ice cream, what more could we ask for? Grateful! ⁣

What makes us feel burn out is not our long to-do lists or the adulting we have to do on the daily.⁣
⁣
⁣
What makes us feel tired is how little you do of what makes you feel alive.⁣
⁣
A few years ago I started counting the minutes, seconds to 5:00pm on Friday afternoons. ⁣
⁣
I then realized I was living for the weekends and Sunday’s were the worse day of the week #sundayscaries anyone?⁣
⁣
Nowadays I love Sundays and get to treat every day of the week as though it's the weekend. ⁣
⁣
Most of my days I spent wishing I can have more time to do the work that makes me feel alive and fulfilled. ⁣
⁣
What if your 'work' brought you to your full potential? What if your 'work' helped you become a better You? Mother? Wife? Sister? Friend?⁣

It’s funny how when you’re in the thick of the daily grind it seems nothing has changed.⁣
⁣
But, when you take a step back and look around everything has changed.⁣
⁣
Your setbacks, failures, the messy middle, the late nights, the early mornings all you’re doing and going through means you’re evolving into who you’re meant to become.⁣
⁣
And It’s all gonna be sooooo worth it! ⁣
Don’t give up, mama….⁣

Money is great, combining your hobbies and create the best of both worlds even better.⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
As we get older, we prioritize “earning” money instead of “making” money you tend to forget to do the things that brings you joy. ⁣
⁣
I used to be the girl who felt life was slipping away, my youth being wasted. ⁣
⁣
The girl who wished for Fridays as soon as Monday rolled around and was convinced there was no other way... ⁣
⁣
But, there is. It’s possible.⁣
⁣
You sittin’ in your cubicle watching the clock tick?⁣
⁣
Getting loads of extra tasks dumped on your plate with no extra pay?⁣
⁣
Lemme tell you something...you have WAY TOO MUCH potential for that BS.⁣
⁣
Your destiny is in your hands. Do what you love. Find your passions. Follow your joys. ⁣
⁣
You can do what I did and combined all 5 hobbies into one profession. ⁣
⁣
Build a life doing something you are passionate about so that you love all 7 days of the week, not just the weekends. ⁣
⁣
You never know...there may just be an entrepreneurial spirit in you after all?⁣

If ONE YEAR from today, your life was exactly the same...𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬?⁣
⁣
⁣
Not because your basic and psychological needs are being met so you “SHOULD” be⁣
⁣
Not because you’re doing all the things (taking care of the house, kids, working etc...)⁣
⁣
But because you’re 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆...⁣
⁣
With how you feel with what’s reflected back when you look in the mirror⁣
⁣
With the people surrounding you⁣
⁣
With where you are in life⁣
⁣
With the woman you’ve become⁣
⁣
I would. ⁣
⁣
When I think about my goals when I was in my 20s, it was all about surviving, climbing the ladder, proving who knows what to others, “making it” in the corporate world. ⁣
⁣
𝗠𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀?!⁣
⁣
-Be happy AF living a life I design⁣
-Be the best version of myself⁣
-Be a great mom, wife, sister, friend, leader⁣
-Be a present mom for my boys⁣
⁣
-Motivate, inspire and empower women to raise the bar and help them achieve their life goal⁣s and dreams. ⁣
⁣
All while continuing be a better person and going my life dreams.⁣
⁣
No doubt, one year ‪from this today‬, my life will be different, better because I’ve decided to put in the work to achieve my goals. And feeling fulfilled helping you do the same. ⁣
⁣
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂!?⁣
⁣
We only have one chance at life, ONE.⁣
