What's the story of Wake Up Happy, Sis?

Hey sis, I was you once. I was overwhelmed and unappreciated by the people I worked so hard to support. I was depressed but I had learned how to hide it well. “Fake it ‘till you make it," was my favorite quote back then and I was a master at it. I was unfulfilled, morbidly obese (from childhood trauma), and just felt defeated even though I had a flourishing career and a lot of friends. I felt like I was always the one who had to sacrifice for others… I sacrificed for my children, my friends, my family, my career; it never seemed to end. I felt like that is what I was SUPPOSED to do as a good mother, friend, employee. Boy was I wrong!

When I was stressed, baby, I stressed everyone around me. I snapped at my children more. I was b*tchy towards my friends and family and this caused my personal relationships to suffer. My professional relationships suffered and I was even passed over for a promotion that I definitely should have received based on the value that I brought to the company. You can say, I felt lonely, even in a crowd.

So I realized I had to change or I would surely die. I needed happiness and balance. I needed boundaries and love and peace. But I was very worried how my changes would affect my family, friends, and professional connections. Change would definitely hurt or leave some behind. I just couldn’t take everyone with me or I would continue to hold myself back. My change would be disruptive because they needed me - I definitely had that superwoman cape on tight!

I knew that I needed to do something drastic and different, so I decided to bet on me first! I decided to prioritize my self-care and wellness because I needed to Wake Up Happy, Sis!

So I ended unhealthy relationships and practices that weren’t serving me and were in fact bad for my physical, emotional and mental well-being. I went where I was celebrated, not just tolerated. I filled my self-care toolkit with all the tools and resources I needed to help make this change - that took me 15 years! I decided to start the Wake Up Happy, Sis! Movement to help my sisters learn what took me 15 years!

Sis, it’s time to re-prioritize yourself. Just like having a fitness partner, you need a self care accountability partner. We all need accountability to reset, refresh, and reconnect to our true self. Let me help you find your happy, healed, and whole self.

WELCOME TO THE WAKE UP HAPPY, SIS! NETWORK.

I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU SMILE!
