The only names the world gets to call us are the ones we answer to. 🙌🏽⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ My sister, Ma, and I went to an empowering women’s conference this weekend that was all about claiming victory over our identity. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ If we don’t know who we are, we let the world define us...⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ...live up to a lesser standard than the one we came here to fulfill.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ...answer to names that we think we earned but are not our true identity: ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ infertile⠀⠀ unworthy ⠀⠀ addicted⠀⠀ overweight⠀⠀ unloved ⠀⠀ broken ⠀⠀ ashamed⠀ ⠀⠀ ...& get lost in a spiral of comparison, more focused on who we are 𝓃𝑜𝓉.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The truth of who you really are is that you are unconditionally: ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ loved⠀⠀ beautiful ⠀⠀ enough⠀⠀ talented⠀⠀ capable⠀⠀ creative⠀⠀ amazing ⠀⠀ unique ⠀⠀ supported⠀⠀ abundant ⠀⠀ accepted ⠀⠀ & deserving ⠀⠀ ⠀ Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn’t deserve a seat at your table. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ There is no rival to you because there is no one on Earth with your signature DNA. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ You are kicking ass solely because you are brave enough to show up and fight in the arena. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ You may not love every single thing about your body but it’s your home and deserves to be celebrated. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Expect miracles.💛 ⠀ ⠀ When we truly believe this truth about ourselves, we pass it down to our kids and their grandkids and all the lives that they touch. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ We need to be more concerned about building a good 𝓁𝑒𝑔𝒶𝒸𝓎 than just having a good weekend.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ What legacy are we writing? ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The truth or more lies?⠀⠀ Love or separation?⠀⠀ Hatred or equality? ⠀⠀ Self-loathing or empowerment?⠀ Competitive or collaborative?⠀ ⠀⠀ The thoughts you think, the beliefs you accept, and the decisions you make affect more than you know. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Double tap if you are claiming truth, equality, acceptance, humility, reconciliation, healing, and LOVE. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ P.S. I love YOU. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Thanks for this amazing, amazing message #chosen19⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ xoxo

DON’T GIVE UP ON WHAT YOU WANT YOUR LIFE TO LOOK LIKE. ⠀ ⠀ I know you must be thinking sometimes, “is this it? Will I ever feel any different?”⠀ ⠀ You followed the formula, did all the “right”⠀ things, and yet...⠀ ⠀ 〰️your relationships still don’t have the intimacy you’re craving ⠀ ⠀ 〰️you don’t love the woman staring back at you in the mirror⠀ ⠀ 〰️you’ve got all the degrees, promotions, sales, and accolades but still feel empty and unfulfilled⠀ ⠀ 〰️life feels like a combo of extreme highs and lows (and when you’re low you’re lowwww). ⠀ ⠀ Girl, I’ve been there. And let me tell you: hustling for more externally ain’t gunna break the cycle. ⠀ ⠀ The change you seek will come from re-coding your mind to support the life and relationships you 𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓁𝓁𝓎 want.⠀ ⠀ In my 3-month VIP coaching intensive, we do just that by tapping into transformational modalities like:⠀ ✨Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)⠀ ✨Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/Tapping)⠀ ✨Clinical Hypnotherapy⠀ ✨T.I.M.E. Techniques, and of course—business, life, and success coaching.⠀ ⠀ This magical formula allows us to create immediate shifts and new patterns within yourself that will completely transform what you believe, how you act on your desires, and your magnetic ability to receive them with ease.⠀ ⠀ Ready to claim what’s yours?

IF YOU DON'T INVEST, YOU WON'T PROGRESS.⠀ ⠀ Just call me Rapper Rhodes 🤣⠀ ⠀ Or don't. Either way, when you make wise investments, you get your $$$ back tenfold.⠀ ⠀ I've seen this in my life and business over and over again. ⠀ ⠀ I know it's scary sometimes to put yourself on the line, take a risk, invest in that coaching program or Mastermind, and watch that number in your checking account get smaller...⠀ ⠀ While all the fears of how you'll never fill it back up again get louder and louder...⠀ ⠀ But consider this: ⠀ ⠀ Every moment of every day, you are already investing in something with your thoughts, your time, your energy, and your money, honey.⠀ ⠀ And if you're not where you want to be, you're investing in the wrong things.⠀ ⠀ Notice where your resources are leaking into places that aren't serving you.⠀ ⠀ Is it...⠀ ➖the bar?⠀ ➖Netflix or mindless scrolling?⠀ ➖friends who don't value or respect you?⠀ ➖eating out? ⠀ ➖online shopping?⠀ ⠀ Observe, without judgement, and then redirect them into the places with the support and tools that will help you pivot. ⠀ ⠀ One of my teachers recently said, If there's something that you want and you're denying yourself, you're teaching the world to deny you.⠀ ⠀ Stop denying the life that you were meant for. Shift from I can't to looking for all the avenues of I can and I WILL.⠀ ⠀ Comment below if you know you are worth it 💛

✨Your conscious mind is the goal-setter. The subconscious mind is the goal-getter. ✨⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ When we want more love, success, abundance, or money but can't create that experience for ourselves or keep self-sabotaging, it's likely we have a subconscious block. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Lately, McKenna and I were running into some of our old programming that it has to be hard and it's not safe to make a lot of money/shine bright/be seen fully...⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ So, we scheduled a 2.5 hour couples immersion of PsychK this morning with my favorite kitty @ellirichter. It was f’ing amazing and I feel so damn FREE. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ This summer I've been training in complimentary modalities of NLP, Hypnosis, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), & T.I.M.E.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ All of these tools give us a magical formula and crazy transformative toolbox to shift beliefs, patterns, habits, programming, and blocks at their core—in the subconscious mind.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Our subconscious controls 95% of our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, patterns, and actions and runs all of them on autopilot.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ When we re-code our internal representation of the world, everything changes and the transformation, healing, and abundance available to us is unbounded. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ And as I re-experienced this morning, one session can be enough to shift stuff we've been trying to heal consciously for decades.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ My clients are experiencing crazy transformations with NLP and I am beyond excited about this work. So so grateful. We deserve all good things on Planet Earth. When we truly believe that, literally anything is possible. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Comment 🙌 if you are stepping into the life you deserve and never looking back. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 📸:the amazing @kdimeg_photo xoxoxoxo⠀⠀ ⠀

“If someone is having success, BLESS them.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Bless their success. Bless the work they put in to get there. Bless that they are being an example of what is possible.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Yes, we often only see the highlight reel on social but don’t forget or deminish what happens behind the scenes.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ If you send negative energy towards someone’s success, it will rarely affect them—however it will affect you.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ When you throw shade at how someone ‘does success’ you signal to your subconscious mind “okay SC, we judge people who are successful. We don’t like people who create success or spend their money on the things that they want. “⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ And essentially you tell your subconscious mind that people who create success are disliked in your world—and because we are instinctively tribal creatures the subconscious mind labels that as unsafe, we will block ourselves from creating abundance.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ I’ve learned that non judgement helps me transcend. If someone does something in a way that I wouldn’t do it, that’s fine. I can still send them love as they are a part of me too and hold the presupposition that everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have available.⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Put love out and you will get love back. ❤️⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Type YES if you agree 🙌🏽”⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ Caption by @yessupply. Had to share cause it’s just so👏🏽on👏🏽point.

✨I’m an overnight success🤮⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ As in, I’ve worked day in and day out for 7 years...⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Invested over 100K in personal development, degrees, certifications, mentorship, accountability, trainings, and resources...⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Travelled to 36 countries to expand my mind and experience all that Earth has to offer...⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Sacrificed: had roommates for the first 5 years of our relationship, worked our TAILS off at the restaurant on the side in addition to our day jobs, sacrificed shiny objects, quit drinking alcohol and eating out in the day-to-day...⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ You see what I’ve built from the outside. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I remember all the shit I’ve healed to be confident enough to show up and be seen like this.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ All of those nights, leaving work at 1am, to come home, grab a few hours of sleep, only to get up and teach an early yoga class. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ & all those times I stayed home to study, create, learn, and take action on my dreams rather than going to drink beer on the beach with my friends. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ My point is two-fold:⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 1️⃣ Success doesn't happen overnight. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ It doesn’t have to be as hard as I made it but it does happen from showing up and doing the unsexy work day after day after day.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ It also requires you to live differently than most of the people you know.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ If you want to play small, you'll stay small. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 2️⃣ What you want is actually much closer than you think. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ When I launched my own brand a year ago, I had no clue I’d be almost booked up til the end of the year right now. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ So, whoever needs to hear this: don’t quit on your daydream.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ YOU can create the life, business, abundance you’ve always dreamed of but first you must decide to be all in and fully commit to the process.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ What you’ve felt called to do is worth it. Don’t give up.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Drop your favorite emoji if you needed this reminder today & let me know if there’s anyway I can support you. ✨⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ P.S. I’m so pumped for this program launching on August 15th after 2 years of dreaming and scheming... so excited to teach and share all I know! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The group of ladies that are diving in with me are absolute badass and I couldn’t be more grateful.👯♀️💛

✨Why yoga has nothing to do with bikini handstand pics, working out, or being able to touch your toes.✨⠀ ⠀ There are only two things you need to yoga: your breath + a willingness to show up.⠀ ⠀ We use the physical practice (asana) as a tool to get stagnant blood, breath, and energy flowing again and to help ease tension.⠀ ⠀ But ultimately, the aim of the poses is to fully integrate yoga into the way we show up in every moment.⠀ ⠀ Let me explain:⠀ ⠀ The definition of yoga is union.⠀ ⠀ Patanjali, the author of the Yoga Sutras (one of the key ancient texts of yogic philosophy) says that yoga is the control of the fluctuations of the mind so that we can dwell in our true nature. ⠀ ⠀ Otherwise, he says, we identify with our mental chatter.⠀ ⠀ Think about it.⠀ ⠀ When our minds are racing all day long, they usually are thoughts about lack + attack:⠀ ⠀ ➖we don't have enough of something (time, money, love, knowledge, energy...)⠀ ⠀ or⠀ ⠀ ➖something bad is about to happen to us⠀ ⠀ Our to-do lists, our stress, fear, worry, anxiety, insecurity, anger, irritation... they're all distractions that keep us mentally in the past or the future. ⠀ ⠀ Yoga is the a practice of returning to our innate wholeness and a willingness to show up for the moment, exactly the way that it is right now.⠀ ⠀ A beautiful yogi Erich Schiffmann says, Love is the willingness to see that which is real.⠀ ⠀ My definition of yoga these days comes that quote above.⠀ ⠀ My goal when I roll up my mat and walk back out into the world is that I choose to see what’s real in myself and in others...⠀ ⠀ That I’m kinder, more compassionate, present, forgiving, supportive, and full of grace. ⠀ ⠀ Of course, there are lifetimes of teachings in just that one sentence alone. I am not claiming that this is easy but it is simple... ⠀ ⠀ And being able to touch your toes is not one of the requirements. ;)⠀ ⠀ For all of you in Charleston, I invite you to join me Sunday at 8:30am or Monday 7:15pm for a nourishing practice out on the beach behind @charlestonharborresort with @serenitytreeyoga. ⠀ ⠀ Drop a 🧘🏽♀️ if you’re creating space to be present and yoga this weekend. ⠀ ⠀ xoxo. I love you so much💛

Truth bomb: busy is bullshit.✖️⠀ ⠀ I used to live in a constant state of hustle. ⠀ ⠀ In college, I took 18-21 hours a semester, worked 25-40 hours a week to support myself, and piled internships and (barley) a social life on top. ⠀ ⠀ I continued that pattern for 8+ years... even after I started teaching yoga. ⠀ ⠀ At one point, I had 7 teaching gigs, was the office manager of an acupuncture clinic, and waited tables nights and weekends. ⠀ ⠀ Over the last year, I’ve had a huge mindset shift and realized that I actually get more done when I do less.⠀ ⠀ Now my schedule feels full but spacious and supportive. ⠀ ⠀ The truth is that none of us are made to function at 100 percent, 24/7, without any time to ourselves. ⠀ ⠀ Our nervous systems can’t handle it, for one, but there’s also something called shiny object syndrome. ⠀ ⠀ When we say yes to everything, we churn out a bunch of mediocrity.⠀ ⠀ When we say no to what drains us and only say yes when it’s a F YES, we make the impact we were born to make and get to live a damn good life.⠀ ⠀ My question to you is this: what can you say no to in your schedule this week in order to make room for what you really want? ⠀ ⠀ Share with me below. I’m rooting for you ✨⠀ ⠀ 📸 by @lydiamccaulley at the most beautiful shop of plants + magic @haegur 🌱
