Unpopular opinion: most entrepreneurs are more trapped than employees. At least the employee clocks out.

You built the cage yourself and put your name on the door.

There's a book launching September 18th about breaking out of it. Own or Be Owned, by the woman who's watched thousands of owners do exactly that.

I started using Chefs Plate because I was tired of figuring out what to eat every day.

Then I dropped 10 lbs.

I wanted to get back to smart meal prep. I was overthinking my meals, stress eating and ordering takeout almosteveryday.

So I had to find a solution that fits my schedule and cut the overthinking process around my meals.

The ingredients were portioned, the recipe was decided.
I knew exactly what I was making and every night somehow felt like I was eating a restaurant meal...that I cooked myself.

The food felt indulgent.

I enjoyed what I was eating.

I never felt deprived.

Gradually, 10 lbs came off.

I trust myself around food again.

I can sit down to a delicious meal, enjoy every bite without guilt and know that I'm still making choices that support my health and wellness.

This experience reminds me that consistency gets a whole lot easier when you simplify the decisions standing between you and the habit.

Sometimes we're trying to develop more discipline while asking ourselves to make a hundred tiny decisions every day.

What am I eating?

How much?

Do I have the ingredients?

Do I feel like cooking?

Should I just order something?

Maybe the need to prove you’re powerful is a sign you’ve forgotten that you are.

We see the lion and immediately recognize power: the size, the mane, the roar, the presence.

Then you learn something fascinating about the lioness:
👉🏾She does much of the hunting for the pride.
The very characteristics that make her different contribute to making her effective.

She's smaller and lighter, which gives her speed. She doesn't have a large mane, which helps her disappear into the landscape.
She hunts with other lionesses, using coordination to accomplish what would be much harder alone.

👉🏾How much energy have we spent wishing we had someone else's mane while overlooking what we already bring to the hunt?
We've been taught to recognize certain expressions of power quickly. Loud, dominant, commanding, highly visible.

Sometimes, when we want to feel more powerful, we start performing those characteristics. We get louder. We compare. We compete. We harden. We try to prove that we deserve our place.

👉🏾Somewhere in all that proving, we can lose sight of our own design.

Maybe your sensitivity allows you to read a room before anyone else does. Maybe your softness allows people to trust you.
Maybe your patience gives you timing. Maybe your ability to collaborate allows you to build something you could never build alone. Maybe the qualities you've underestimated are carrying more power than you've recognized.

👉🏾The lioness doesn't become powerful by becoming more like the lion. She understands how to use what she has.
That's where confidence becomes different.

You become grounded enough to stop measuring yourself against everyone around you.

Soft enough to admire another woman's strength without experiencing it as a threat.

Confident enough to stop competing for proof that you matter.

Stop looking around the room asking:
"Do I measure up to her?"

Ask yourself:
"Have I fully learned how to use what is already mine?"

I joined Toastmasters because someone saw a speaker in me before I could fully see her myself.

I was curious about public speaking, so I joined. And I felt AWKWARD.

When you’re new in a group, people tend give you extra attention because they genuinely want you to feel welcomed.

I felt exposed.

I was painfully aware of everything I didn’t know yet and worried that everyone else could see it too. 🫠😩 Still, I kept showing up.
Eventually, something shifted.

I started forgetting who was in the room. I stopped obsessing over how I was being perceived and focused on what I was there to deliver. Then I joined a second Toastmasters club.

My first was a small French-speaking group. My second was a much larger English-speaking group, and this time, a friend with similar ambitions came with me.

We could make mistakes and just laugh about it and watching other people willingly make mistakes gave me permission to loosen my grip on perfection too.

That experience taught me one of the most valuable lessons of my growth:

I could let go of people’s perception of me and still become who I wanted to become.

Eventually, that curious, uncomfortable young woman who couldn’t quite picture herself as a public speaker found herself delivering a short TEDx talk at a WomenSalon.

It felt like alignment. Looking back, I understand that awkward young woman differently now. She thought her discomfort meant everyone could see how inexperienced she was.

I can see that she was simply meeting a version of herself she hadn’t grown into yet.

👉🏾Sometimes the room that makes you feel inexperienced is the room introducing you to your next identity.

So if I could whisper something to the woman walking into her first Toastmasters meeting, wondering what she had gotten herself into, I’d tell her:

👉🏾That’s how growth is supposed to feel.

What feels awkward in your life right now because you’re still growing into it?

What happens after you meet someone you’ve always wanted in your network?

For someone coming from the beauty industry, meeting Vanessa Craft from Elle Magazine was the kind of connection that could easily become a moment you simply celebrate.

You met someone influential.

You exchanged a few words.

Maybe you took the picture.

You walked away thinking, “I just met Vanessa Craft from ELLE!

And that feels good.

Except networking has taught me to look beyond the excitement of the introduction.

👉🏾Don't just soak up the hype of networking.

Because meeting someone is a moment.

Building a relationship requires intention.

I’ve watched people attend conferences, networking events and industry gatherings, collect business cards, take pictures with impressive people and leave feeling like they accomplished something simply because they were in the room.

I understand the excitement. I’ve felt it too.

Yet the real value of networking often begins after the event.

Did you follow up?

Did you stay connected?

Did you learn something about that person beyond their title?

Did you find a meaningful reason to continue the conversation?

Did you become someone they would actually remember?

That experience helped shape how I think about networking today.

Access can introduce you to the room. Relationship-building determines what happens after you leave it.

A powerful network is built through curiosity, generosity, consistency and follow-through.

So enjoy the moment when you meet someone incredible. Take the picture. Celebrate the connection.

Then ask yourself:

What am I going to do with this connection now?

Because your network becomes valuable when relationships have somewhere to go.

What’s one connection you’ve made that you wish you had followed up on differently?

What if the job you thought was the destination was actually preparing you for something much bigger?

There was a time when this table was my world.

Brushes. Sponges. Concealers. SFX products. Grease makeup. A movie set. And me, doing what I had spent years learning how to do.

I remember moments like this because working on a film set meant something to me.

It felt like progress.

It felt like I was getting closer to the level of success I had imagined for myself as a makeup artist.

And if I’m being truthful, part of me saw opportunities like this as proof.

Proof that I was talented enough.

Proof that I belonged in the industry.

Proof that I could work on serious projects.

I spent years building my résumé, taking contracts, improving my craft and collecting experiences that I hoped would eventually make me feel established.

Then something interesting happened.

My ambition kept growing.

The rooms got more interesting. My skills expanded. My experiences accumulated. Yet the vision I had for myself started stretching beyond the role I had originally chosen.

Looking at this picture today, I see something completely different.

I see a woman learning how to perform under pressure.

I see someone learning to walk onto a set, understand the assignment, work with different personalities, solve problems quickly and deliver when other people were depending on her.

I see someone building confidence through experience.

I see someone learning how to create an outcome from a blank canvas.

Those skills followed me far beyond the makeup chair.

And maybe that’s one of the strange things about purpose.

Sometimes you understand the significance of a chapter years after you’ve lived it.

We’re so eager to figure out, “Where is this taking me?”

Meanwhile, the experience may already be giving us the skills, relationships, perspective and resilience we’ll need for a future we haven’t imagined yet.

Some chapters are training grounds disguised as destinations.

So when I look at this old photo from a movie set, I appreciate the makeup artist I was.

She had no idea how much of what she was learning would eventually travel with her.

And maybe there’s a chapter in your own life that deserves another look.

What experience from your past makes more sense when you look at it through the lens of who you are becoming today?

Lately, I’ve been taking back control of my health. (Thank God for muscle memory! )

And somewhere between making better choices and moving my body, I thought about a project I had the privilege of participating in years ago for breast cancer awareness.

I was amongst women who had survived breast cancer.

I remember watching them.Really watching them.

These women had been through treatments, uncertainty, changes to their bodies, fear, exhaustion, and moments that forced them to confront life in ways most of us hope we never have to.

Yet there they were.

Showing up.

Laughing.

Getting dressed up.

Enjoying the moment.

Allowing themselves to feel beautiful.

Taking up space.

And living.

That experience humbled me then. It humbles me even more today.

Watching those women taught me something about resilience that I didn’t fully understand at the time.

Resilience can look like laughter after a season that gave you plenty of reasons to cry.

It can look like reconnecting with a body that has carried you through something difficult.

It can look like letting yourself feel beautiful again.💅🏿

It can look like deciding that life still deserves your participation.

Perhaps one of the biggest lessons they left me with was this: Your body deserves a relationship with you while you’re busy living your life.

I’ve spent years asking my body to keep up with my ambitions, my responsibilities, my stress, my schedule, my plans, and probably a few questionable decisions.

Now I’m learning to give something back.

Attention.

Movement.

Rest.

Nourishment.

Care.

And yes, more water. Apparently coffee has been denied the position of Chief Hydration Officer.

Taking control of my health has made me deeply grateful for the opportunity to care for myself today.

Grateful that I get to make better choices.

Grateful that I get to become stronger again.

Grateful that I can listen more closely.

Grateful for those women I met years ago, because without knowing it, they showed me that our relationship with our bodies can carry courage, tenderness, joy, and immense gratitude.

I thought I was participating in a breast cancer project. Years later, I realize I was also witnessing a lesson in how fiercely life can be lived.

What experience from your past do you understand differently today?

Sometimes the lesson arrives long before we’re ready to recognize it.

Re-enter your day and let the momentum rebuild one step at a time.

Progress looks very simple, we tend over complicated it.

Drop "💧" if today, you're taking your energy to the top!

What if Feminine energy isn't about being softer but about becoming so secure in who you are that nothing external gets to define your value.

06/26/2026

A little throwback to an iconic performance that inspired my happy dance. 💃🏾

Why?

Because I called my shot.

I was challenged to get my offer in front of 1,000 people, and I decided to celebrate the commitment before celebrating the outcome...(we're more than halfway through 😁💃🏿)

Too many entrepreneurs wait until they "make it" before giving themselves permission to feel proud.

I refuse to build a business where joy only shows up after the finish line.

Every bold move deserves to be celebrated because every bold move changes who you become.

Here's to 1,000 new people discovering Woman Up.

What's one goal you're celebrating before it becomes reality?
