25. Community is a NECESSITY!

25. Community is a NECESSITY!

If I've learned nothing else this week, I've learned that community matters! For the longest time, I believed that being strong meant doing things alone. I was so wrong! I needed my circle this week, and they came through in ways I could not have imagined. It was a great reminder that we were meant to do life together! So let's make it happen! The "Looking For My Fit Community with MekRich" is officially open! Click the link below to join! I'm so excited, and I hope that you'll come take this journey with me! Let's do this!

24. Two things can be true.

24. Two things can be true.

Two things can be true! I'm growing in my confidence. I'm also battling insecurities. Guess what? Accepting that the presence of my insecurities does not cancel out my confidence, has been huge for my personal growth! We are multifaceted people. The quicker we embrace that, the quicker we can move forward in becoming who we've been called to be! It's go time y'all! LET'S DO THIS!!!

23. It's Not All Good!

23. It's Not All Good!

As much as I would love to say that all days are great, I can't because that would be a LIE! Listen, today was quite the day. Frustration was high, and patience was thin.  However, I didn't just dwell in it, or allow my emotions to spiral out of control.  Instead, I checked myself.  Listen, things are not always good. That's life, and you can't control that. But what you can control is how you react when life tries to take you by surprise.

This episode is full of so many laughs, but also full of transparency as my girl Nkeru joins me for this episode. Nkeru is killing the real estate game, and now has her own company, Froneberger Realty. However, when she started in real estate she had no intentions of doing it full time, let alone starting her own company! But God had different plans!

18. Lindsay Rae Perry: Grace over grind!

18. Lindsay Rae Perry: Grace over grind!

How often do you hear people bragging about how much they grind? We're living in a time when being a member of "team no sleep" is glorified. So many people will have you believe that grinding 24/7 is the only way to become successful. Let me be the first to tell you, you don't have to suffer from burnout to achieve your goals! 

Today's guest, Lindsay Rae Perry, shares why that mindset should be put to rest! Lindsay is a Speaker, Award-Winning Strategist, and the CEO of Apps Admins, an all-in-one cloud solutions firm helping businesses to grow better and scale in the cloud. In 2017, she had a life-altering experience that completely changed her mindset towards the grind and hustle mentality. Now, she's mentoring and coaching other women entrepreneurs on how they can successfully build their businesses without suffering from burnout using her iAM Quotient™

If you've been suffering from burnout, slow down and MAKE the time to listen to this episode! You do NOT have to keep living that way!

16. Taylor Glynn: Giving the strong friend permission to rest.

16. Taylor Glynn: Giving the strong friend permission to rest.

Do you consider yourself to be the "strong friend'? The friend who never breaks, and always wears a smile? Taylor Glynn, founder of Child Arise, is my guest today, and she shares the impact that being the strong friend had on her life. When Taylor, who was the "strong friend", found herself sobbing after being asked a very common question, she knew it was time to take off the mask. It was through her journey of reflecting, unlearning, and healing that her program Child Arise was born! This episode is jam packed with so many gems that EVERYONE needs to hear!

13. Rewind: Evolving into "me" in my marriage.

13. Rewind: Evolving into "me" in my marriage.

Today, I'm throwing it back to the very first episode that I recorded with my husband Carlos just a little over a year ago.  I listen to this with "new ears" in complete awe of just how much my life has evolved since this episode! It's a reminder of how quickly things can change! Carlos and I have a brand new episode coming next week, so I thought it would be a great time to look back at where we were a year ago, before sharing what we have going on now! It's a great conversation about marriage with raw moments, and lots of laughs!

12. Women who went for it! Victoria Rosa

My "Women who went for it" series continues! In this series, I'm talking with some BOSS women who went for it! While they all have different stories, there's one thing they ALL have in common.  They pushed past their fears, doubts, and insecurities to chase their purpose.  On this episode, I'm talking with my girl Victoria who is better known these days as Vicky Roe on her top-rated radio show on Q95.5 in Lafayette, LA! Victoria's story is so inspiring, and teaches a great lesson about patience, persistence, and believing in yourself! It's also a reminder that things don't always happen overnight, or the way we planned.  BUT if we're willing to stay the course and commit to never giving up, we can make our dreams a reality! Get ready for an inspiring story full of laughs!
