Since September, I’ve posted 7 hours & 30 minute Since September, I’ve posted 7 hours & 30 minutes of content on YouTube. & GUESS WHAT!? Ya girl is officially monetized! 🥳 I knew this day would come and I’m so happy it’s here. @evaxalordiah told me back in January 2021 that I needed to be on YouTube and she was right! 
After I graduated and was living at my dad’s, I legitimately had $0 in my bank account for a few months (s/o ma dukes for holding me down + believing in my dream). Regardless of that, I decided to relaunch my channel because I knew I had a story to tell. I already had an iPhone, iPad & Macbook so I didn’t need to buy any equipment to create. I just needed to use my love for creating content & turn it into something physical. 
Financially, I’m not where I want to be yet and I’m still figuring it all out. This journey has shown me that I don’t need tons of money to create amazing + impactful content & that there is nothing wrong with starting where you’re at. 
I don’t want to live a life of “I wish” - I want to live a life of “I did”. This is your reminder to chase your muthafuckin’ dreams.

Creating quality friendships is intentional work. Creating quality friendships is intentional work. Sometimes that might look like going to brunch, celebrating each other, & spending quality time together. Other times it might look like forgiveness, vulnerability, & meeting each other where we’re at. 
No friendship is perfect but if you’re willing to intentionally show up for each other, you’ve already won because effort trumps perfection. 
A year ago, we barely knew each other and there were times where we didn’t talk for a month or so but we never took it personal. One thing we did do is make space for change - in ourselves and within our friendship. We aren’t trying to change each other because we see and respect each other for who we are. 
Our friendship has shown me whats possible & I hope that you find yourself in loving friendships that show you the same 🤍

Although I mentioned that it was a lonely & painful time, God WORKED deeply on me. Sometimes you need to be alone to confront your true self, have spiritual awakenings and heal.

So I let my hair business & being a hairstylist go. I had a Graduate Assistant position that ended up not getting renewed. Letting go of things that weren’t in alignment with me anymore gave me strength to weather the storm and persevere through grief. 
All that I’ve went through is one of the reasons why I’m going to be a great therapist. I’ve done and am always going to be doing the work. It’s a lifelong journey. 
If you want a dream, go out and get it. It won’t be easy but it’ll be worth it. I’ve known I wanted to be a therapist since 11th grade and it’s here. So excited to learn, grow and thrive throughout this new chapter of my life!

25 Fun & Simple Summer Activities to Heal Your Inner Child

Starting your healing journey can be confusing when you know you need to heal but don’t know what you need to heal from or where to start. It can be confusing to tell the difference between inner child work, shadow work and general healing. Everyone has something they can benefit healing from, whether it’s deep rooted trauma or a specific situation that was distressing. Either way, starting your healing journey has many benefits. 

What is Your Inner Child?

A simple way to start your journey is to begin showing your younger self infinite love. Your inner child is the child within you that has needs that are eager to be met. The state that your inner child is in will vary depending on your childhood experiences and how much you have or have not healed them. To heal your inner child is to give yourself everything you needed but didn’t receive. It’s a great way to rewrite your own story despite what happened in your childhood. Inner child work is also important is because it affects your daily behavior in adulthood.

  • Black Girl blowing Bubbles

Carl Jung (Psychiatrist) has a famous quote that says “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Our core beliefs – deep rooted ideas/assumptions about yourself and how you see the world – that are developed as a child stick with us until we make a conscious effort to change them. Some examples of unhelpful core beliefs are “I’m never going to be enough”, “I’m not worthy of love”, or “Everyone I love will eventually leave me”. We operate from these assumptions even when we’re not aware of it and they determine what we do or don’t do.

A core belief I developed when I was younger was that I needed to dim my light to please others. I have had so many conflicting feelings about being different than the majority of people around me. I have often struggled with wanting to be accepted as most children do. While craving to be apart of “it” group, something always felt wrong. My inner child deeply wanted to be seen, accepted and validated by my peers so I made myself small to make sure I didn’t outshine others. This pattern turned into people pleasing behaviors that didn’t serve me and kept me in places longer that I should be. A few years into my journey and it’s something that I’m still unlearning.

Facing your old self, current self sabotaging behavior or childhood trauma isn’t easy yet it’s worth it.

Although healing is a lifetime process, there are intentional practices you can do to start the process. These practices are in the perspective of the younger you. Think about what you loved to do when you were a child and do those things. I loved the swing at the park when I was younger so I’d swing at the park now and have a ball!

25 Fun, Simple & Healing Activities:

  1. Set up a solo picnic with your favorite foods
  2. Go to a park and do your favorite activity
  3. Create more weekly play time in your life
  4. Play your favorite childhood game
  5. Purchase bubbles
  6. Purchase chalk and draw on the sidewalk
  7. Dance in the rain
  8. Have a date night in a floatie by the water with yourself 
  9. Write a letter to the younger you
  10. Fall asleep to your favorite childhood show
  11. Ride a bike, scooter or skateboard
  12. Eat your typical after pool snack
  13. Eat the most memorable childhood snack
  14. Purchase an adult coloring book
  15. Read your favorite childhood book
  16. Paint a canvas
  17. Make an Apple/Spotify playlist of your favorite oldies
  18. Go stargazing and wish upon a star
  19. Sit in nature barefooted 
  20. Read a picture book
  21. Complete a puzzle
  22. Camp in your backyard/balcony/patio
  23. Take a bubble bath with your favorite scent
  24. Play dress up with your favorite clothes
  25. Go to the amusement park

Now you have 25 possible activities that you can incorporate for a healing and hot girl summer. Sit back, relax, and play! Your inner child needs you so show them the attention they deserve this Summer but most of all – have fun!

Until next time,

Kee

The season of life that you’re about to walk int The season of life that you’re about to walk into is going to blow your mind. You don’t need to know what it looks like before you receive it ✨
About a month ago, I changed my energy from waiting/chasing/desperate energy to receiving energy. Man.. that was truly one of the best things I could’ve done and my stress/anxiety levels have went down.
HOW? Detachment from the need to control the outcome. Sometimes it felt like if I knew what was going on, it would make things better but honestly, the more faith you have - the more you’ll like the surprises God brings into your life.
Try trusting the process as much as you can for a few days and let me know how it works out for you!
Btw, this sweatshirt from @targetstyle designed by @blumood is bomb 🥰 linked it in my stories!
