What I'm currently focused on...

Hey, friend hey!

​

I’m closing out the week feeling so grateful for you. I was looking at the analytics for the podcast and this newsletter and just kept thinking, “WOW, God!”

Here’s why:

📧 This newsletter reaches over 10,000 people across 28 countries.​
🎙️ The Great Girlfriends Show reaches nearly 8,000 listeners in 100 countries and 178 U.S. markets each week.

Now, some might look at these numbers and think, “Shouldn’t you be reaching more people?” But guess what? I’m not focused on the ones I could reach. I’m focused on the ones I am reaching—you.

I’m not concerned about who’s not listening to the show or who’s not opening these emails. I’m here for those who tune in every week, for those who are ready to grow, and for those who say, “This is for me.”

When I focus on who’s right here, right now, I feel so full. I’m excited to have a community that believes in this message and craves a little dose of soul food each week.

So why am I sharing this with you?
Because so often, we get caught up in chasing more—more money, more followers, more attention, more of everything! But when we’re always reaching for more, we miss the beauty of what we already have.

The portion you have today is enough for today. Your “more” will come when you fully embrace what you have now.

Let me tell you something: It’s easy to feel inadequate in a world that’s constantly shouting, “You need more!” It’s easy to fall into scarcity mode when social media sells you a facade of flashy success. It’s easy to lean into lack when people are photoshopping fantasies and faking it till they make it.

But here’s the truth: You can’t photoshop gratitude. You can’t fake fulfillment. You can’t AI your way to joy.

​
​Gratitude, fulfillment, and joy come from an internal space of acceptance.

Gratitude says, “I may not have everything, but I’m thankful for what I do have.”

Fulfillment says, “I am satisfied with my portion.”

And joy says, “I’m happy from within. My delight shines through every situation.”

As you head into the weekend, here are three simple ways to sustain your gratitude:

1. Count Your Blessings: Make a quick list of things that made you feel grateful this week—your health, a tough moment you pushed through, a friend who showed up for you, or a special memory. I guarantee you’ll feel more full after writing it down.
2. Pause and Applaud: Think of someone who made your week a little brighter. Send them a text, give them a call, or shout them out. Share your light with the people who have shared theirs with you.
3. Celebrate Yourself: Pick one thing to do just for you this weekend—whether it’s a bubble bath or a big night out. Big or small, it’s time to celebrate you, because you are worthy of every bit of joy.

Doesn't it feel good to know that you have the power to sustain gratitude and spread love at the same time? 😆

Friend, I want you to know that I am grateful for YOU. Your presence here isn’t lost on me, and I am so honored to be a part of your journey. Oh and check out the latest episode of the podcast with Lani Phillips. It's sooooo good!

Until next time, I encourage you to give yourself grace, allow space for growth, and embrace the love you deserve.

I'm cheering you forward from victory to victory,
