Here we are in October. The tenth month of the year. The “last quarter.” The season when people start shouting, “Only 90 days left to finish strong! Push harder! Time is running out!” And while some of that can be motivating, let’s be honest, it can also trigger anxiety, comparison, and a false sense of failure. As the year starts wrapping up, a lot of us slip … Continue reading Mindful Monday: You’re Not Late—You’re On Your Time
Nobody wants to admit it, but burnout doesn’t always show up loud. Sometimes it looks like irritability over small things. Forgetting emails you meant to send. Losing interest in projects you once prayed for. Feeling tired even after you finally sleep. And the worst kind of tired isn’t physical, it’s emotional. It’s spiritual. Continue reading When the Grind Starts Grinding You
We’re finishing this week strong, but not dehydrated and stressed, okay? We’re eating tacos, turning on a little country playlist, and sipping something that tastes like reward and relaxation in a glass. Continue reading Sis, Have a Cocktail: Strawberry Rodeo Bliss
For as long as I can remember, we’ve been told to “meet people where they are.” The advice comes with good intentions we’re supposed to be patient, empathetic, understanding. But what if I told you that meeting people where they are is sometimes exactly what keeps us stuck, disrespected, and drained?
Instead of always bending ourselves to accommodate others’ behavior, let’s talk about leaving people where they’ve got us messed up. Continue reading Mindful Monday: Stop Meeting People Where They Are
When it comes to whiskey, there are a million bottles out there promising warmth, smoothness, or a “kick” you won’t forget. But every now and then, one comes along that really does stand out, and for me, that’s Red Hazel Spiced Whiskey. Bold, smooth, and unapologetically unique, it’s not just a drink, it’s an experience. And it’s the star of my Sis, Have a Cocktail: Cowgirl Edition. If … Continue reading You Should Be Drinking Whiskey
Tell me why it’s only Tuesday and I already feel like I’ve run a marathon? 😩 The weekend was amazing, successful, fun, and exactly what I needed to recharge. But somehow by Tuesday, reality always seems to slap me in the face with work emails, responsibilities, and that little voice reminding me of all the things left to do. Burnout before hump day? It’s giving absolutely … Continue reading Wild Rodeo Refresh
WE DID IT! This past weekend reminded me exactly why I love being in my author bag. There’s nothing like stepping into a room full of people who share the same love for books, stories, and human connection. I enjoyed being back in that space……signing books, shaking hands, taking pictures, and having those heart-to-heart conversations with new readers who were genuinely excited to meet me. One of … Continue reading WE DID IT! A Weekend to Remember
For as long as I can remember, we’ve been reminded to “be mindful of how we treat others.” It’s a beautiful reminder, rooted in kindness and consideration. But lately, I’ve been reflecting on the other side of that coin: how mindful are we about the way others treat us? It’s not selfish to pause and notice the energy people bring into our lives. In fact, it’s necessary. … Continue reading Mindful Monday: Be Mindful of How People Treat You
We’ve officially stepped into the last quarter of the year, and whew… if you’re anything like me, you feel the pressure. End-of-year deadlines, family gatherings creeping up, holiday plans, and those little “did I accomplish enough this year?” thoughts popping into your head at random. It’s giving stress with a side of sighs. But sis, here’s the thing, the last quarter isn’t just about pressure. It’s … Continue reading Southern Belle Sip
Have you ever looked at your social media followers list and thought, “Why am I still letting this person watch my life?” That was me not too long ago. I realized I was giving access to people who no longer had a place in my life—people who weren’t clapping for me, weren’t supporting me, and honestly didn’t deserve front-row seats to my journey. So, I made the decision to change that. Continue reading From Friends to Followers to Deleted
