Biblical Rest
08.21.2025 Biblical Rest Recently, I had an opportunity to sit with Danielle Detiege (a.k.a. Coach Danni D) and her Profits in Pajamas podcast audience. I was blessed to meet Coach Danni D when she came to Occupy 2025; she's a coach who leads an awesome community of women into working with ease. Profits in Pajamas Podcast Episode 180: Biblical Rest I don't take it lightly that this is Episode 180. 180 degrees represents a significant pivot point that sends you in the opposite...
Do You Have a Purpose Statement?
6/12/2025 Do You Have a Purpose Statement? Happy Thursday Cousins, I was talking with a coaching client this week about purpose and sharing that purpose doesn't have an expiration date, but it can evolve over time. If you know me, then you know that I firmly believe Genesis 1:28 is a description of what purpose should look like for us and that we're living out purpose when in all areas of life we're being fruitful, multiplying, replenishing, subduing and having dominion. We walked through an...
Rest + Grace: Your Irreplaceable Self
4/17/2025 Rest + Grace: Your Irreplaceable Self If you were with us last year for Occupy 2024, then you remember our amazing Rest + Grace Fireside Chat with Brandy Forbes-Pixley of BeyBeauty Collection and Chastity George. As we go into the weekend, let's remember the importance of being a "student of rest". If you missed last year, watch the YouTube recap as Chas shows us what it means to show up in the places where we're irreplaceable. P.S. If you haven't already registered for Occupy...
Countdown to Occupy Mastermind 2025
3/20/2025 Countdown to Occupy Mastermind 2025 Hey Cousin, it's the first day of Spring! It's that time of year when the pollen count and the humidity are at war and we all get to enjoy the thrill of sweating just by existing. Here in Louisiana, the azaleas are in full bloom and the allergy meds are selling off the shelves. But, despite any negative impact this time of year may have on us physically, we can't deny the beauty in it. We can't ignore how we feel seeing and experiencing the...
Don't Panic. Pivot!
1.16.2025 Don't Panic. Pivot! And just like that it's already the middle of January...how's 2025 been so far? Personally: I've been sick for a week! I planned us to start Vision Week on Sunday January 20th, but with recovering from the flu and my voice bouncing back from the effect of laryngitis, I still can't talk. I'm bothered that what I planned didn't turn out the way I want, but, I've learned to pivot. Honestly, to say "I'm bothered" is an understatement--I hate when I take the time to...

19 Weeks of Intentionality: Get Out!
12.15.2024 19 Weeks of Intentionality: Get Out! Christmas is in 10 days and I'm excited! Yes, my trees have been up since October. Yes, I said "trees" plural (we've got 7!) Don't judge me... I hope you've gotten amazing value from our 19 Weeks of Intentionality series--it's challenged me in ways I didn't expect. I've taken control of time I didn't realize was out of control (and if you know me, you know how I feel about wasting time); I've implemented some cash infusion strategies in my...

12.6.2024 19 Weeks of Intentionality: Wealth & Money (Part 2) It's beginning to look A LOT like Christmas and hopefully you're on track with your wealth-building goals. I'm committed to not waiting until 2025 to be ready for 2025 and I hope you feel the same.

19 Weeks of Intentionality: Radical Self-Investment
11.23.24 19 Weeks of Intentionality: Radical Self-Investment 5 weeks, 3 days. That's what's left of 2024. Yes, that's enough time for you to proactively and practically accomplish things on your intentionality to-do list! I don't want you to skip past the rest of this year and jump into 2025 without getting just a little more out of 2024. Whatever your "it" is, it's there for you if you reach for it. And before 2024 ends, I want to introduce you to what I call radical self-investment. Radical...
19 Weeks of Intentionality: Overcoming the F-word
11.16.2024 19 Weeks of Intentionality: Overcoming the F-word I woke up this morning thinking about a prophetic word my friend Chas gave me a couple of Sundays ago: "it wasn't a fluke..." 😭 Sheesh... As I thought more about what God used her to tell me, I realized many of us emotionally, in our minds and in our performance are dealing with the weight of "f-words" that have us paralyzed and unable to move forward. We've got purpose to fulfill, even before the end of 2024 and I want you to not...
