You may not be finishing the year the way you planned, but you can still finish the year with some joy. Even though you may not have hit your sales goal this year, went on that vacation you planned, or finished that book you wanted to write, finishing the year with your sanity and peace of mind is an accomplishment within itself. The last 317ish (who’s counting?) days have been rough for everyone, but finding some joy in the spaces that you live in, and getting rid of the things that no longer make you happy, can be just enough to finish the year strong.

Reflecting on what it was like last week waiting for the election results to come in, Ashley talks about how fear and anxiety can paralyze us when we are waiting for something we want. As much as we want to control situations in our life, the reality is we can’t. We can’t control everything that happens to us. Some things are completely out of our hands, and guess what boo? Sometimes not knowing the answer, and patiently waiting, is 100% okay. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

Just because people don’t see you out here working, doesn’t mean you’re not out there getting the job done. Just because people don’t see you securing the bag, doesn’t mean the bag hasn’t been secured. Don’t let social media punk you into believing that you have to post everything, to prove everything. Your purpose in life is not attached to likes on Facebook, or the comments on Instagram. What people think of you, has nothing to do with you boo. Keep growing, achieving, and smashing your goals the way you want to – whether someone is watching or not. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

How many times have we started doing one thing, and then jumped into doing something else? Started a blog, a business, a non profit, a new career path – but then jumped into doing school programs, teaching, writing a new book, a new YouTube channel, and so on. That’s just an example boo, but it’s so easy for us to get excited about starting a new project or goal, and then think of all the new ideas and opportunities that present themselves to us. We can’t ever cross the finish line one one project and see the results we worked for, if we keep starting over with something new. Timing is everything, sis. We’re celebrating our 100th episode soon! Celebrate with us by sending us your questions and/or comments to be read by Ashley on the 100th episode! Ask your questions here Boo!

When we have a new idea, or embark on a new journey, somehow in our minds we only see the end product. We forget all the steps and phases we have to go through to get there. We forget that there is a process to everything. With anything that you do, you’re not going to just come out of the gate swinging with your best work. It takes time, patience, work, more time, a little more patience, and you not willing to give up just because things don’t look the way you want them to. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

Whether you realize it or not, we are all authors of our own stories. Every day when we wake up, we are deciding what type of character we are going to be. The gift you were born with can come in any shape, size, or form. What you choose to do with that gift, is what matters the most. Not all heroes wear capes sis. Look in the mirror, and recognize that you too can be the hero of your own story – that is if you allow yourself to be. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

If you can change your mind boo, you can change your life. It’s never too late to start fresh. It’s never too late to change the narrative about something negative, and find the positive. This year has been a whirlwind, but it’s not over. Your dreams, goals, and desires for success are not over. The game is only over when you stop playing sis. It’s time to get up, dust yourself off, and finish this year the way you intended to finish it. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

Sometimes we think we need all the steps, all the resources, all the software, and all the programs to be successful in our fields. But that’s not the case boo!

Sometimes we’re so focused on just trying to get to a “good place”, that we don’t open our eyes and see the good place we are already standing in. You can’t get so wrapped up into crossing the finish line that you fail to realize how blessed and fortunate you are to even be running in that direction. Life comes at you fast boo, but slow down and take each day as it comes. Enjoy every moment, that you have been given. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

We can’t be out here blocking all the haters and then get home and be hating on ourselves. Hating on our creativity. Hating on our own ideas. Hating on our dreams and hating on our looks. We can’t bock haters and be haters at the same time. You have a responsibility to be kind to not just other people, but to be kind to yourself too. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

 Indecisiveness and your lack of ability to make firm decisions, can be doing more harm than good. A lot of us tip toe around our ideas, our desires, and our plans and haven’t fully made a decision to go all in on them. We get stuck in the middle or the “in between” as Ash would call it – and fail to make a commitment to the decisions we make for ourselves. What if you stopped going back and forth on your ideas, on your plans, and on your goals, and just decided to be all in? Subscribe To Our YouTube!

We have gameplans, we have to do lists, and we know what we want – but our excitement won’t get us there. We wait for “motivation” to carry us to the finish line, but when we’re not motivated how can we still get the job done? One day we can be super motivated to work towards our goals, and then the next day be over it – both days the work still needs to be put in. Our habits define who we are sis. Good habits, create good decisions. Bad habits create bad decisions. Every decision you make is either getting you closer to the woman you want to be next, or pulling you away from her. Our question is, what decisions are you making? Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

This week as we march, protest, and pound our fist in the air demanding justice and equality…never forget the fight starts with you. This year has been more than overwhelming. More than stressful. More than scary. But no matter how overwhelming, stressful, and scary things might be – the fight to win, and the fight to overcome – starts with you. Our fore mothers fought so that we could be here today. With all the stress, and all the fear, and all the overwhelm they still showed up. They did not have the luxury of giving up, and they most certainly did not have the luxury of backing down. Whether you’re fighting for justice, or fighting for your future – you do not have that luxury either. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

We get so caught up in friendships and relationships that we sometimes forget they aren’t meant to last forever. Just because you were homegirls this year, doesn’t mean you’ll still be the same homegirls next year. Some of our girlfriends and boyfriends are only meant to be around for seasons of our life. Some seasons are long, and some seasons are short – but what matters most is what we learned in that season that will carry us in new seasons to come. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

Happiness does not come from jobs. Happiness does not come from bae. Happiness does not come from the extra zero in your bank account. It may afford you more freedom…but what is freedom, if you are too sad to enjoy it? Even in isolation, under all of these rules, restrictions, and guidelines – you can find happiness. Why? Because happiness does not come from other people, places, or things. Happiness is found within you. Guess what boo? We’re going LIVE!

You are a human being first. You are not perfect, and you were not created to be perfect. Your walk with God, your faith in God, is between you and God. Not you and your friends. Not you and your family. It’s between you and God, period. If you had it together all the time, and if you did everything right – what would God have to work with? Regardless of what everyone else says, come as you are sis. You are loved, just the way you are. Subscribe To Our YouTube! Watch the video component to the podcast on our YouTube Channel!

Just because you are surrounded by a bunch of people, doesn’t mean you can’t be lonely. Just because you live alone, and have no one to answer to, does not mean you can’t experience loneliness. Loneliness is a state of mind. Loneliness is an emotion that you feel. We have enough that we are going through right now. We can’t afford to use this time focusing on how alone we may feel. But we can afford to use this time to continue to dream, continue to create, and continue to go after what sets our souls on fire. Whether you’re single and live alone, or married with a house full of people, you are your best partner. Never forget that. Subscribe To Our YouTube!

“I hope so” and “I know so” are two very different things. While sometimes all we can have is hope that things will work out for the better, we have to remember it is our faith that gets us through in times like these. Our girlfriend Hope is cool and all – but we all need our girlfriend Faith to gas us up, remind us of who we are, and show us where we are still destined to go. Subscribe To Our YouTube!
