I remember, several years ago, my husband and I were sitting on our living room floor. I had recently called out of my job because I didn’t have enough money to put gas in my car to get there. And here we are, creating our first vision boards, surrounded by magazine cutouts of inspiring words, […]
I started at zero. Zero followers, zero subscribers, zero income. Even for entrepreneurs that have built multiple businesses, every time you build it’s like you’re starting from scratch. Of course the second or third time around, you’re a little wiser because you have more information, more experience and more confidence. I grew Simple Green Smoothies […]
Here’s what I believe… REPRESENTATION MATTERS. I speak on stages around the world. And many times I’m one of the few women, and usually the only person of color. My father is African American. My mother is half Chinese and half Caucasian. There is a strong pull to tell my story, to uplift others, and […]
One of my biggest fears when I sold my half of Simple Green Smoothies in 2016 was that no one would invite me to speak on their stage or ask me to be a guest on their podcast. Which dives into a deeper human fear that I believe can live deeply in all of us… […]
I’m home after 2 weeks of summer travel. We visited Boston, Puerto Rico, and Washington D.C.

I believe we are being called to do business in a different way. To slow down, to listen, and to trust the wisdom of our bodies.

Have you ever tried to reframe rejection like this: “Accept rejection as a grand indication that you’re trying.” I know, it can be hard to see rejection as a good thing. We think: – Why was I not good enough? – Why do I deserve this? – Am I not worthy? But we rarely stop […]
Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about home and how we personally define it. I’ve always been a gypsy at heart and have the desire to travel around the world while running my business. World Schooling my daughter for a year is a definite bucket list item. What might hold you back from exploring the […]
Do you find yourself getting so busy with work + life + all. the. things, that you don’t feel you have the time and space to spend time with your friends? My recommendation would be to carve out that time ASAP. Having people in your corner who are not your partner or your kids, is […]
So I just learned the term MAYcember from The Holderness Family. Watch this music video if you have kids and you’re feeling overwhelmed in the month of May. It made me laugh out loud, especially the part about watching kids in recitals. May seems to always be such a full month with Mother’s day, tons […]
