5 Tips For Approaching The New Year

Well, 2018 is RIGHT around the corner! We want to make sure we ALL are going into the New Year with a clear mind and more elevated thoughts when it comes to progression with our journeys. Here are some tips to keep in mind for 2018: 

• Stay organized - Keep an everyday journal or planner with you at ALL times (digital or physical) to stay on track with your day-to-day tasks/appointments, short-term/long-term goals, and idea logging. 
• Get informed - Whether it be reading more books, staying up-to-date on the latest business news via articles, workshops, seminars, or attending networking mixers etc. GET INFORMED! Knowledge is power.
• Build your TEAM - As much as we want to do it all on our own it can get tedious at times. Reach out to your inner business circle for experienced, quality assistance with services and resources that you need.
• Set expectations - Be loud and clear on everything you expect in your future partnerships to avoid communication barriers down the road. 
• REMAIN POSITIVE - A positive attitude leads to positive outcomes!

Meet Woman Of The Week, Christel Morgan-West

Author, Life Coach, Motivational Speaker, T.R.U.E. Self activist, and MORE! Christel Morgan-West from Detroit, Michigan all the way to Little Rock, Arkansas makes her mark by Teaching, Restoring, Understanding, and Establishing Self!

Hear her story and learn more via https://www.christelwest.com/

"As a young teenager and single mother, I looked for love in all the wrong places. I lost my identity and covered up because of fear and shame. When I realized that I was keeping the pain in by, covering up I made a conscious decision to be naked and not ashamed (transparent). I thought my past defined me but now I know and have and understanding that it was all apart of my history. We revisit history for answers and I can’t lead you to your true self if I don’t study the history and learn myself. There is so much that I didn’t know about myself but I wanted to know. So I willingly  took the journey for you and I , the one that’s not so favorable and I faced my fears one by one each time liberating myself from the invincible chains that I created within my mind that held me captive . Freedom is a choice and I made the choice to not only be free but for everyone connected to me to be free as well. My life journey and the struggles I’ve seen has inspired me to continue being naked and not ashamed because only then will I be able to be my TRUE SELF and Uncover the Treasure Within, and lead you to do the same!" -Christel Morgan-West

#WomanOfTheWeek - Shonda B. White

This week we would like to spotlight best selling author, blogger, public speaker, and relationship/life coach Shonda B. White! 

At a young age, Shonda Brown White always knew she had a call on her life to encourage, empower, and inspire other women. As a certified life coach, best selling author, blogger and speaker, Shonda challenges women – whether single, in a relationship or married – to live a purposeful life and to rise above the challenges we often experience. Dealing with her own obstacles and growth opportunities, Shonda shares real talk about life and love through her voice and her writing. Her inspirational messages have reached people across the world.

A native of Kentucky and a graduate of the University of Louisville, Shonda was raised in a single-parent home. She quickly learned how to navigate through life without a prominent earthly father figure she could look up to, and who would provide the security of a father she desperately craved and needed. Like most others, she made a lot of mistakes along the way, dealt with abandonment, trust issues and the constant search for love and self-love. Nevertheless, she persevered despite what the statistics said, and despite what others thought about her.

Shonda’s passion has led to multiple speaking engagements, book club interviews and features, and multiple broadcast appearances locally, nationally and internationally. Most recently she was featured on the nationally syndicated show – The Rickey Smiley Morning Show and ESSENCE Live. She channels and shares many of her life’s lessons through her blog ShondaBrownWhite.com, speaking engagements, books, and as a content contributor for national online publications. Visit Shondabrownwhite.com to learn more about our #WomanOfTheWeek and to get familiar with her best selling book "Don't Be A Wife To A Boyfriend: 10 Lessons I Learned When I Was Single".
