Happy October! 🍂✨

The last quarter of the year is here and let's be determined to finish it strong. More exciting news, my first book will be available in paperback this month for distribution! 📖🙌

If you’re in Trinidad & Tobago, feel free to DM me and I’ll make sure you get a copy.

This season we’re making a promise: nothing in our lives will stay at the edge. No more “almost.” We’re stepping fully in and off that bus before 2026.

Have a great day💛

I failed as a leader.
I failed at delegation.
I failed to check in with my staff.
I failed to examine why they were failing.

At 30, running a multimillion-dollar manufacturing company, I was so busy trying not to fail that I never stopped to learn how to lead better.

The truth? Every failure taught me how not to lead next time.

✅ I learned to delegate better.
✅ I learned to hold weekly check-ins.
✅ I learned to review myself, not just my team.

Leadership shifted for me when I stopped avoiding failure and started evaluating myself.

👉 Reflect. Listen. Measure. Adjust. Grow.

That’s how I became a stronger leader and how I now help my clients do the same.

Will you take 30 minutes today to evaluate your own leadership?

It was great spending time in the 98.1 studio last weekend with Malika Shade-Holder.

The interview reminded me how far I have come with my authenticity, the ability to be myself and still be accepted.

For a long time, I spent so much energy becoming the person everyone else wanted and needed me to be. That takes a toll.

I am grateful to say that I am back. Even more, I am thankful that I have the best job in the world, adding value to people who are ready for it.

I wrote Living on the Edge of Almost because I know what it feels like to just exist, wondering if you should take the next step or not. I know the fear and the uncertainty. But I also know what it feels like to take that step forward into purpose.

Today, no matter the unknown behind the door in front of you, open it. You will be grateful for what is on the other side.

I remember all the dreams I carried in my head. What I wanted to do. Who I wanted to be.

But that is where they stayed, memorized dreams I could recite “by heart” but never see come to life.

Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV) says, “Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.”

Clarity does not come from holding a dream in your head. It comes when you write it down, make it plain, and build a strategy to move it forward.

In Week 1 of The Activation Room Mastermind, we talked about the power of owning your dream. Many agreed their dream was truly theirs, but they also realized they had to do more, to give themselves full permission to step out boldly in their purpose.

A dream without action remains a hope. A dream fully owned becomes a calling.

Are you giving yourself full permission to step into yours in 2026?

The shift from Independence to Republic in 1976 was about one thing: ownership.

The same applies to our personal growth. Many believe growth just happens, or that if we keep adding value to others, we will automatically grow too. But real growth comes when we are intentional, when we make a plan, and commit to it fully.

Just like Trinidad and Tobago wrote a Constitution to own its future, we need to write our own growth “constitution.” It does not have to be fancy. A few clear areas written down with steps to move forward is enough.

I call it the OWN framework:
- Outline your growth areas
- Write them down
- Navigate them daily with action

Happy Republic Day, Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹

I once told my team, “Once you are good, I am good.”
But that was not true. I made sure they were good while pretending I was fine.

Leaders often think protecting everyone else’s well-being means ignoring their own. Pouring from an empty cup weakens everyone. You run dry, and the people you are trying to protect suffer too.

Your strength sets the tone for the whole group. When you invest in yourself, you multiply their potential.

Use my simple reminder, ACT:
A – Awareness: Notice where you are running on empty.
C – Commitment: Decide your well-being is worth protecting.
T – Targeted Action: Take one small step today to invest in yourself.

What is one way you will invest in yourself today?

I used to take pride in being the person my boss, coworkers, and family could always count on. If something needed fixing, I was there. If someone needed help, I said yes.

It took me a while but then I realized that I was showing up for everyone but myself. The commitments I made to my own growth and well-being were always the first to go.

Why do we treat everyone else’s needs as urgent but put our own growth on the waitlist? Serving others doesn’t mean giving up on serving yourself.

Your growth may cost convenience and approval, but it’s non-negotiable. When you invest in yourself, you multiply your capacity to lead, inspire, and serve.

Today, pick one small promise to keep for yourself: read for 20 minutes, take a walk, finish that idea you shelved, or sign up for that course. Every fulfilled promise rebuilds trust in your own word.

What’s one promise to yourself you’ll protect this week?

Can you believe it?! Living on the Edge of Almost drops in less than 24 hours!

Are you ready to choose yourself and start walking in your purpose?

Writing Chapter 1 required me to go deep. Choosing yourself has "consequences" especially after saying “yes” to everyone else for so long. You know what happens when you finally say “no.”

Today, I’m sharing Chapter 1 with my community:
“You’ve Been Showing Up for Everyone Except Yourself.”
I hope it adds real value to your life and inspires your next step forward.
