As you read this message at the start of your day, I've already wrapped up my intense 4:30am gym session with my trainer, IceKole, the fearless leader of the Who Want It Crew. Monthly assessments are our reality check as a team, guiding us towards our strength goals for the upcoming month. The workout plan? Well, let's just say it's a challenge with Push Presses, Sumo Squats, Pull-Ups, Hand to Feet, Burpees and more - 10 reps each, 7 cycles. Sounds daunting, right? Yet, we tackle it head-on because, as IceKole says, "If it were easy, everyone would do it." It's a mental game, pushing through the doubt and surprising even ourselves with what we achieve. Every session teaches me that my potential knows no bounds. The key? Breaking free from self-imposed limitations. Though a goal may seem out of reach at first, pushing beyond those boundaries unlocks new possibilities and new opportunities. I'd like to share three tips that I have been using that has helps me to overcome my own perceived limits and I hope that they might work for you as well: Embrace the Discomfort: Growth happens when you step out of your comfort zone. By embracing discomfort, you open the door to growth by actively stepping out of a space where you feel most comfortable and into new spaces where there is play and you can face challenges head-on. Practice Resilience: Remember that hurdles are simply stepping stones to success. When you view hurdles as stepping stones, it reminds you that each obstacle conquered can strengthen your resilience and determination. Believe in Your Potential: Challenge doubts and limitations by believing in your innate ability to achieve greatness, fostering a mindset of confidence and self-assurance in your pursuit of goals. I use visualisation here. It helps me to see the goal -- and more importantly, see where I want to go next. Keep pushing past those limits y'all -- YOU CAN DO IT! - The results may just surprise you. As some of you know, I am working on doing 2-5 pull-ups. It is tough as hell, but we are gonna get there as uncomfortable as it might be. Stay Tuned!

CHANGING EVERYTHING...CHANGES EVERYTHING It’s hard to believe this photo of me and my bestie, Dr. Tyus, was taken almost a decade ago. What you can’t see from our backs in that picture is that I was 40 weeks pregnant — belly full, body heavy, teetering on the edge of new life. I was quite literally laboring, preparing to welcome my second child. Dr. Tyus had flown in from Washington, D.C. to be with me, not just as my best friend, but as part of a deeper, spiritual support team. Her mom came...
IT HURTS!...BUT DO DAT SH!T ANYWAY In the early part of February, life came at me fast — literally. My family and I were driving back from a weekend trip. We saw a bunch of friends that we hadn't seen in a while and felt like the trip was generally productive. Out of nowhere, a deer leapt onto the highway, with no time to swerve. The impact was loud... violent... and jarring. All the airbags deployed around us. Metal twisted, glass shattered, and just like that, our car was totaled. We sat...
WHAT HAPPENS IF ALL THE VEGGIES ARE GONE? Did you know that every time you make a purchase, you’re shaping the market? Your food choices influence what’s available, what thrives, and what disappears. Recently, I had a heartfelt conversation with a friend who is an urban farmer. We shared our excitement about offering fresh, diverse produce and products to our customers, pouring our passion into every item we grow and create. But there’s a harsh reality—when these carefully cultivated foods...
