Greetings Reader,
WHEW!! Let me take a deep breath, cause I've got something to say:
It's only July and this year has been a LOT!
Remember how I told you back in January that 2025, a Universal 9 Year, was going to be an unapologetic year of endings, closures, and completions?
Well Lord knows I’ve felt every inch of that disruptive energy.
I came into this year with fire in my belly, a ton of plans in my journal, and a sacred knowing that this would be the year I returned to my throne; bolder, wiser, softer, and stronger.
As someone who knows that the only way to become something new, is that you've got to release the old, I expected there to shifts, but LAWD HAMMERCY, the shedding that this year is demanding.
I’ve been grieving the woman I used to be, and the ways I once did life, relationships, and business.
I've been releasing the habits, people, business models, and offers that my womanhood and work is no longer aligned with.
I’ve had to surrender identities of comfort, conformity and downright smallness I worked years to build, and sit with truths that whispered, “In order to lead them to the next level, you must be willing to go first.”
And so, I’ve been going first. Quietly. Deeply. Soulfully. Tearfully. And oftentimes with butterflies doing somersaults in my stomach.
Woven between the non-stop noise and the relentless demand to “keep up,” the first half of this year has been an invitation to slow down, simplify, and sanctify in preparation for my next level.
So I intentionally pulled back and spent most of the spring rarely on social media; instead, I was on Sacred assignment, in my own personal cocoon.
And now I'm ready to reimerge with an honest recap of the first half of 2025:
💥 Socially - We’re living in a world that’s louder and more divided than ever, but beneath the noise is a quiet awakening. Women are remembering who the hell they are, and many are seeking support and guidance in navagating this remembrance.
📉 Politically - The longheld systems and structures are cracking, and we’re seeing the cost of staying silent. This isn’t just about elections or parties. It’s about the reclamation of energetic sovereignty.
🧠 Technologically - AI is changing everything - and I do mean everything. Some see it as either a tool or a trap. Here's what I will tell you, if you’re not leveraging it to buy back your time, simplify your life, and grow your profits, you’re already behind.
💔 Personally - This season has been one of deep, transformation. I’ve had to surrender old stories, outdated identities, and "safe" business models that no longer felt true.
✍🏾 Creatively - I've been writing. So far this year, I've been working on 5 book projects (yes, plural) - My new eBook "The Digital Profits Playbook", contributing author in three anthologies and writing my own solo book.
🫂 Sacredly - I've ohsted 3 Private Shadow Work & Healing Retreats for a few high-level clients
🕊️ Spiritually - I continue doing the work of healing - my inner child, sensuality, womanhood, and ancestral money wounds.
And when I wasn’t healing, building or birthing new brands? I was reading.
Here are a few of the books I've devoured so far this year that have ignited my passions, sparked my creativity, and spoke to my soul:
- The Urgent Life by Bozoma Saint John – a raw and riveting invitation to live loudly, love boldly, and choose joy—even when life breaks your heart.
- The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles – a timeless energetic blueprint for aligning thought, action, and purpose with the frequency of true wealth.
- Matriarch by Tina Knowles – a powerful tribute to the unshakable strength, creative genius, and fierce love that lives in the heart of every Black mother.
- Who Not How by Dan Sullivan & Dr. Benjamin Hardy – a mindset-shifting manifesto for breaking free from burnout by replacing hustle with collaboration.
- The Best Man: Unfinished Business by Malcolm D. Lee and Jayne Allen – a soulful reunion with Harper, Jordan, and Robyn as they navigate midlife, love, and the unbreakable bonds of chosen family, proving that some stories are far from over.
Everything I’ve moved through in the last 6 months confirms what I said back in January:
2025 is a sacred threshold beckoning us to crossover.
It’s not a year to coast. It’s not a year to play small.
It’s the year to close completed chapters, clear the clutter, and purposefully choose something higher.
And I want to help you do exactly that, so now I’m checking in with you.
Reply to email and tell me - How has the first half of 2025 been for you?
Where are you feeling clear, and where are you still craving clarity?
What are you ready to release?
And what is quietly asking to be birthed?
Whether you’ve been in motion, in stillness, in success, or in survival mode…
It’s not too late for your intentional Mid-Year Reset.
Remember, you don’t have to hustle harder to be more successful. You just need to realign your vision with your values, your energy with your essence, and your offers with your overflow.
