Summary
Sis, let’s talk about it—sometimes life will humble you real quick and force you to rethink EVERYTHING. After my husband’s heart attack, I couldn’t ignore the signs any longer. We had to get real about our priorities, because what is all this hard work for if it’s costing you your health?
In this episode, I’m sharing the tough conversations, the bold decisions, and the mindset shifts that came from this wake-up call. From pulling my son out of school to questioning whether we even need this big ol’ house—everything was on the table. Because one thing is for sure: we cannot continue to sacrifice our peace, our family, and our well-being for jobs that would replace us in a heartbeat.
So now, the mission is clear—how do we build a life where rest isn’t a luxury, but a necessity? How do we take time off without waiting for a crisis? And how can YOU start making shifts now before life forces you to?
Tap in for this real talk and let’s get serious about what truly matters. Because baby, if it ain't adding to your peace, it's gotta go!
P.S. I'm relaunching my travel agency, Ellevate Travel. If you are a current or aspiring travel agent, let me know here.

| 0:00.0 | So on the last episode, we talked about the fact that pain brings perspective, that it can show you who your people really are and who they are not. |
| 0:13.1 | It can show you how powerful you truly are because a lot of times we don't give ourselves credit for what we are capable of. |
| 0:21.2 | A lot of times we don't even know what we are made of until we are put in situations that truly |
| 0:25.8 | test us. And pain, painful situations can definitely show your power. It can also show you your |
| 0:33.2 | purpose. But something else that pain can do is it can put things in perspective because |
| 0:39.2 | immediately after my husband got out the hospital, I'm like, you know what, I'm lying. |
| 0:46.7 | I think we had this conversation while he was in the hospital because it was just like truly, I feel like we saw all of the signs. |
| 0:57.4 | I feel like we saw all the signs. |
| 0:59.3 | And of course hindsight is 2020. |
| 1:00.8 | So you try to put the pieces together like how did this happen? |
| 1:03.6 | Like what led up to this? |
| 1:05.1 | But my husband was literally working three jobs. |
| 1:09.5 | Okay, he's a pharmacist. |
| 1:10.5 | So him working three jobs is possible |
| 1:12.8 | because he, you know, can split, he splits his time, but he was working three jobs. And this man |
| 1:18.6 | was tired, wore out, like literally not having a single day off. And then when he did, it wasn't |
| 1:24.5 | really a day off because we got these kids. So I had sent him on a staycation at one point. |
| 1:30.7 | I'm like, yo, you just got to go get some sleep. |
| 1:32.6 | Like got him a hotel room two days. |
| 1:34.9 | You just got to go get some sleep. |
| 1:36.5 | I had told him, like, you have to figure out which of these jobs is really work. |
| 1:41.6 | Like, we've had these conversations because I saw how exhausted he was. |
