Episode we will be talking about designing a life you love through self discovery. Also, if you're enjoying the podcast, don't forget to give Habits of a Goddess Podcast a five star review on Spotify or Apple Podcast. I love reading the reviews you guys leave. It means the world to me to see how truly the podcast has made.
D
A positive impact in your life. And when you leave a review, apps, other goddesses discover the podcast too. What does it mean to design a life that you love through self discovery? It can mean a lot of things, but for me, when you take the proper time to understand what you like, things that bring you joy, things that fulfill you, things that just gives you like this amazing perspective in life. As you are going and navigating through life, you are unfolding and coming into yourself and you're learning more about what you like and what you don't like. A lot of times we go on this path of self discovery and it looks different. It looks different from our parents, it looks different from our grandparents, it looks different from our peers, or if you have siblings, it looks different from our friends. And when you start to go down that path of self discovery, as you go down and further down a rabbit hole, as you go down this journey, it has many emotions because you will start to pull back the layers of you that doesn't belong to you. When we are born into this physical world, the first person in our life, persons in our life that teaches us the way to think and the way to make decisions is usually our parents. Or it could be your school teacher, or it could be a pastor. If you go to church, it could be a mentor, it could be your peers, a family member, a stranger. There's so many people in our life as we are growing up that is projecting onto us good and bad and in between. And then somewhere down the line, we hit a aha moment, like a light bulb go off in our head and it's like, this is the time for you to discover what it is that you want out of life, not what other people want for you. What do you want out of life? So as you are designing the life that you love, design it in a way that it serves you first because you are ultimately responsible for creating the life that you desire. No one else has that big responsibility you do. And when you do take on that responsibility and you start to discover what it is that you love and what is it that you don't like, then that is your chance to really blossom into the goddess that you see yourself also went into here on Habits of a Goddess podcast. It's all about tapping into your inner goddess. And as you're listening to this episode, you may start to remember things that you wanted to do as a child. And maybe somewhere down the line, someone told you it wasn't possible. But I'm here to remind you, if that's what's in your heart, if that's what you discover on this self improvement, personal development journey, if that's what you discover that you want, then you do.
C
Have the power to tap into that.
D
And create the life that you desire through discovering who you are.
A
Goddess.

So I'm going to take you a little bit back to when I was in middle school. I was in the eighth grade and I can remember everyone, my peers, going into the library and we had to talk to the guidance counsel about what classes we wanted to take going into high school. This was a very vulnerable time for me because I knew I didn't want to go down the path that my peers were going down. I knew that what I wanted to do there was nothing like it. In the town that I grew up in, I've always aspired to be a entrepreneur, a pageant girl, a model, and like, have my own business. Like, I always knew I wanted to do that. So I remember walking into my library and the guidance council was there and she had like this pamphlet of all the curriculum and classes that I can choose to take and in high school that was going to help me further my education after high school. So it's like putting you on the path to success for the career that you want to take up. Going to college now, college wasn't something really talked about in my household. My grandmother raised me. She had a third grade education and she really wasn't huge on academics. Honestly, I don't even know how I made it through school. I just know I showed up. I showed up and somehow I made it. But I remember sitting in front of that guidance counselor telling her, I want to start my own business. And I remember her telling me, well, there is no classes in high school that I could take that is going to support that dream of mine. So I remember selecting the classes that I decided to take in high school. And that was the start of my journey of going into high school and taking classes that ultimately did not really serve me in what I'm doing today. And we're going to talk a little bit more about that throughout this episode. But I remember questioning my teachers, I remember questioning my guidance counselor, and I.

Not really feeling like this is it for me. Like there has to be something greater than what's presented in front of me. This does not resonate with me, but this is all that I see in front of me. So I go through school, I go through high school, and I graduate and I enroll into a community college. My now the community college that I did go to, I took business classes, I took accounting classes, and I took some other classes too that I had to take. But I also knew that the teacher that was teaching me did not have the credentials in my head that was required to teach me. And what I mean by that, my teacher didn't have a business. My teacher never had a business. My teacher was simply teaching from a textbook. And that to me stood out. Like, I always felt like that was odd. How can someone teach me something that they have no experience in, they don't have themselves. They're simply reading from a book and teaching. And I'm supposed to apply this into my business. So I remember feeling very odd and just not really resonating with school much, not really resonating with my peers because everyone was taking different roads to success. Some want to be a school teacher, some wanted to be a doctor and so on. But none of the path that they took really resonated with me. And I just kind of felt like a black sheep, kind of felt out the loop, to be honest. So at the age of 18, in the town that I went to school, I ended up buying my first business. Now I was able to do this with money that I had inherit from my parents, and I was able to do this with no prior experience. I had courage, I was fearless. I wanted to have my own business so bad that I was willing to take a risk, a very high risk. That was my journey of designing a life that I love. And also that was the journey of self discovery for me through that period in my life. For two years, I owned a clothing women's boutique called Sassy Girls too. And this boutique was on the same street at the college that I went to in South Georgia. And through owning and operating and going to school on top of that, I would take classes from 8am to 12pm, sometimes 1pm and I would have someone working the store from 10am to 1pm and soon as the class was over, I would go straight to work. That was my first hands on experience. I enjoyed what I did because it was something that I love. I was always passionate about fashion, so I was always into creating outfits and just, you know, I was modeling them. So it was like I was living out the dreams that I had as a little girl. Owning my own business, becoming a model. I also did pageants too as well. And I Was able to continue supporting my pageant journey through the business and sponsoring my pageants, all that. But I learned so much through that process. I had faith, courage, I did not know what I was doing. So life was the best teacher for me. That was the road that I took and that was the road, the path that led me to learning more about my strengths and my weaknesses. Because we all have strengths and weaknesses in life. Through the journey of self discovery, I learned that success comes to those who seek it. I was seeking success every single day. Happiness comes to those who create happiness. Throughout the day I learn, follow your happiness, follow your bliss and it's going to look different. It's going to look different than the person next to you. So for me, I was truly happy waking up, going to 8am classes. Most kids that graduate high school and go straight into college, they're not taking 8am classes. They're like, I get to sleep in. I'm an adult now. For me, I created some type of structure without even realizing it. But that's what I wanted. I had habits that I created early on and I continue those habits as I went to college and as I started my business. Of course I had some ups and downs as a first time entrepreneur, but that is the price you pay when you start that journey of creating the life that you love. The journey of entrepreneurship, the journey of self discovery, the journey of doing something that looks different than the people around you. I was the first to do it in my class. I was the first to do it. That gave me so much courage and just I created a powerful system. I created the inner goddess that you see today. It was little stones building this house, this magnitude house that you see. And I'm using a house as an analogy. But the person you see today, the person that you're listening to today, was always there. My inner goddess was always there. But I've learned to live out my dreams on my own terms. And that's not always easy because people are going to question you along the way. Sometimes people feel like if you are doing something that is unconventional, it's not right, it's going to fail. So what? Fail your way to success? If you do it once and you stop, how do you know that you can be successful? Repetition is your best friend doing something over and over and over. I created freedom from an early age in life. My freedom is having the luxury of time to do something that I love. I was always in alignment with my creations. I'm an extension of what it is that I desire. I walk it it's my purpose and I encourage you to walk into your purpose and use the freedom that you have. Use the time, the resources that you have to create the life that you desire. So what does that look like? Sometimes it looks like changing states, moving to a whole new state and starting over. Sometimes that looks like enrolling back into school and becoming more knowledgeable and educated in the things that you want to do in life. Sometimes that looks like saving and not spending.
A
Freedom isn't about doing everything.
D
It's about doing what's right for you. It's about letting go of obligations that no longer align with you, simplifying your life to create space for what matters. And when you are in alignment, creation flows to you, ideals flow to you, and you start creating the life that you desire. It doesn't have to start off grand or world changing. It can be as simple as living with intention and bringing light to your part of the world. Everywhere you go you radiate Goddess. Everywhere you go. So pay attention to what naturally lights you up inside. Pay attention to how you feel when you are doing things that you want to do. Does that make you feel good? Keep doing it.

Week on my Things I Love list. Taking long bubble baths, updating my fall vision board, discovering new music in my Pilates class, and Drip Drop. Because self love isn't just bubble baths, it's hydration too. And Drip Drop is the electrolyte drink I actually look forward to. My favorite flavors is watermelon and berry. It's science back hydration that fits beautifully into my self care flow. Try it and you'll feel the difference. Drip Drop has three times the electrolytes and half the sugar versus leading sports drinks. When I'm on top of my hydration, I notice everything works better. My energy, my mood, my focus, even my skin. Because getting enough fluids every day isn't always easy. That's why I love Drip Drop.

You don't have to explain yourself. You don't have to ask for permission. A lot of times when we ask for permission, we don't fully believe the vision that we was given to us. And we're looking for other people to believe it before we believe it. But you have to believe in you first. And then other people that are assigned to you in life are going to support that vision that you have for yourself.
C
And I'll give you guys a perfect example.
D
When I started that business at the age of 18, I had no clue where to buy the merchandise. I had no clue how to market, how to sell it. I just knew I wanted to start a business. Along the way, I met someone who brought me and showed me, this is where you buy the merchandise, this is where the wholesalers are at. This is how you purchase and wholesale and then this is how you price it. These are where you get the tags, this is how you package the item. As I started living out my desires and creating the life that I desire for myself, the universe presented people in my life, opportunities in my life to support that vision for myself. All you have to do is just start if you want to create something new, if you want to start all over, ain't never really starting over. You always have some type of experience, you know, in life. But just know when you take that first leap of faith, that's when the doors open up for you. That's when the people walk into your life and support you. But you have to support your vision first and, and believe in it first. Freedom begins within Goddess. It's a state of being before it's a lifestyle. So when you embody that energy, it becomes you purpose is less about doing, but it's more about being who you truly are. Use your authentic voice, use the gifts that you have. You have everything you need within you. After creating that business, later on, move.
A
To a bigger city.
D
And I always had that entrepreneur spirit. Spirit in me. So even if you start in life and something doesn't work out fully, guess what? You have the tools, you have the knowledge, you have the resources to create something else. Never stay stagnant in your mind, okay? You're not a prisoner in your head. You're not hold into one position in life. You're not rooted where you're standing. You can spread your wings and flip lie later on in life. I did that. Everything that I created early on in my journey, as I was discovering what I want in life, as I had my spiritual awakening, as I did, all of the healing, the work, the inner work, all of that, it helped support it. What I'm doing today, which is Habits of a Goddess podcast, I get to empower women. I get to show up every single day, not only for myself, but for you.
A
And I get to do it the.
D
Way that I want to do it. Who would have known that? I did not know that when I was in the eighth grade and I was looking at the student guidance counselor telling her, I want to start my own business and I want to be a pageant girl and I want to model and I want to have my own boutique fashion. Just because other people can't see it for you doesn't mean it's not meant for you. Just because other people don't have the vision for you doesn't mean the vision wasn't in you. So if you feel that your vision is clouded and you can't see what it is that you want to create and design for yourself, Goddess, I want you to take time to discover who you are. This journey is not for you to pull people with you. You should not be pulling people with you. You have personal free will in life. Those that choose to walk the path of enlightenment, those that choose to walk the path of creating the life that they desire, they will simply come along in due time. But until then, focus on you, Goddess. Focus what's on your plate, not what's on other people's plate. Focus on what you want out of life and if they're meant to continue being with you on this journey. And they will arrive. But everyone has their own path in life, so remember that. I know we want everyone to come along and be happy.

D
Discover your own path and you discover your worth which naturally attracts abundance. You become more confident, radiant and it's supported. Show up in your fully goddess energy every moment. And remember Goddess, you have the power to create your own source of validation. No one is going to validate you more than you. So wake up every single day and validate yourself when you look into that mirror. Your worth is not defined by how much you produce on this earth. Your worth is not defined by any of that. So embrace the change as part of your self discovery. As the season changes, you should be changing too. This journey of self discovery and designing the life that you desire, Goddess, it's a very sacred journey. It's a journey of calling back home, of what's true and authentic for you. Goddess, it's a journey. I know what's possible for others is possible for myself. And I hope you remember that for you, what's possible for others is possible for yourself. So if you're seeing it in real life, on social media, or if you think it, you can create that for you. If that's what you desire. Remember, God is to be kind and gentle with yourself. I want to leave you with an affirmation that you can repeat throughout the day. Place your hand over your heart and.
C
Just take a deep breath and breathe.
A
And repeat this affirmation after me.
D
As I discover my worth, I naturally attract wealth that reflects it. As I discover my worth, I naturally attract wealth that reflects it. As I discover my worth, I naturally.
A
Attract wealth that reflects it.
D
Let that affirmation just anchor into your heart, into your soul. Goddess, as you discover your your worth on this journey, the wealth is going to reflect it. Your environment is going to reflect it. Your relationship is going to reflect it. Your friendship is going to reflect it. Your habits is going to reflect it. As you discover your own worth. So on this beautiful journey of designing a life that you love through self discovery, remember, as you discover yourself and you discover your worth, everything around you is going to reflect it in the.
