The Bottom Line Is

Unemployed… and afraid to start over? 👀💭

What happens when the job ends… but the bills, pressure, expectations, and fear don’t?

This upcoming episode gets real about unemployment, identity, burnout, fear of starting over, and rebuilding your confidence when life forces a reset. Because behind the “I’m fine” is often someone trying to figure out what’s next.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between survival and purpose, this conversation is for you. 🎙️✨

Last week reminded me that books truly matter. 📚✨

I spent the day visiting my cousin’s school and reading My Nana, My World to kindergarten students during their Field Day celebration, and my heart is SO full.

Watching little faces light up during story time…
Hearing them answer questions…
Seeing them connect to the story…
That’s the part people don’t always see behind becoming an author.

This wasn’t just about reading a book. It was about representation, imagination, family, love, and showing children that their stories matter too.

As I sat in those classrooms wearing my Ms. Maryland sash and holding a book inspired by my own Nana, I realized this is exactly the kind of impact I prayed for. 💜

Thank you to the amazing teachers, staff, and students for welcoming me with so much love today. The energy in every classroom was unforgettable.

And yes… the kids definitely stole the show. 🥹😂
