💭Are you a dreamer or a doubter?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve always considered myself a serial-dreamer (I literally have no shortage of ideas ) but the truth is, I've inherently been more of a doubter...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every time I'd start dreaming about things like writing a book or speaking at a TED talk … hosting a massive conference or having my own bad-a$$ agency, I'd just as quickly think “maybe in another life."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sound familiar?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why is that? That even in my dreams, I couldn’t see the possibilities of what could be?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⫸ Maybe it’s my Latin culture—hustle is a way of life. And growing up, job security was the goal.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⫸ Maybe it’s my childhood. Parents divorced when I was young, mom worked 3 jobs just to put food on the table, dad really tried to break the mold—owned 3 businesses—but they all failed and frankly, tore our family apart.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, I was taught to push myself + chase my goals—but cautiously, while creating a safety net to fall back on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You see, growing up, money wasn’t just a tool; it was a weapon used to defend ourselves against poverty, heartbreak, and instability. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And subconsciously, that blocked me from *really* dreaming big.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎯Until one day, the "secure" road I took was derailed by a company-wide shutdown. And my entire outlook changed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the days ahead, I’ll be sharing more of my story on entrepreneurship—the good, the bad, and the ugly. All in the name of HOPE.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hope that you’ll follow along, relate to pieces of my journey, and decide that you, too, can change your outlook for the better, despite being underestimated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hope that you can open your mind to new possibilities, new dreams, & new belief IN those dreams. Cannot wait to share more! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👇🏾But first, I wanna know—what’s one BIG SCARY DREAM you’re chasing right now?

🤫 The secret’s out!

Ahhhh, I’m so excited to finally announce that I’m a part of Little Black Book:

🌴The Brand Vibe X The Social Bungalow 🌴

(could there BE a better collab?!)

This directory of female entrepreneurs is straight 🔥 and some of the most respected in the industry. Such an honor to stand next to so many as your go-to Personal Brand Consultant (and owner of my boutique creative agency, The Brand Vibe).

I’ve worked in an agency for years. Led teams, big and small, served as Director of Marketing + Creative Director leading multi-million-dollar marketing + launch campaigns.

And the success of one campaign above another always came back to one thing—

THE BRAND
✨ Mission
✨ Values
✨ Impact
✨ Creative

Because when your audience is directly connected to the heartbeat of your brand, you’ve already won.

That’s what PERSONAL BRANDING is for online entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, course creators and service providers.

It’s a vibe. It’s YOUR vibe. And it’s pretty damn powerful 💫

So let’s get to work! Check me out in the Little Black Book under Personal Brand Marketing & Development (link in bio)!

It’s only Q2 ... We’re just getting started 👏🏽

XO,
Nicole

FEEL ... BE ... DO ...
*save this post*

Setting goals looked different for me this year. I decided to focus more on how I want to FEEL vs what I want to accomplish.

(because what good is achieving the end goal if you're burnt out, overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, you get the picture)

But getting in touch my with more of my feminine energy (intuition/feelings) doesn’t actually come naturally to me.

🇵🇷 Us latinas are fierce. We know how to hustle and grind. And climbing the corporate ladder as a WOC doesn't come easy....

So reaching the ranks of Director and VP required a ton more of my masculine energy (strategic/action oriented) to get a seat at the table and keep it.

So yeah...as an entrepreneur who’s now built her own table, getting all woo is not my forte 🙈

But I’m tapping into it more because dang, it’s powerful!

👇🏾👇🏿👇🏽
Asking myself "How do I want to feel?" was the foundation of setting goals for this year.

🍷 And sure, it may have taken me almost a week, 8 glasses of wine, and an entire whiteboard wall of thoughts later, but it led to mapping out my 7-figure year.

So yeah...

Ok your turn. Swipe left and spend some time really thinking about how you want to feel, be, do in 2021.

Do you already know? Tell me in the comments below where I share my 5 core desires with you 👇🏾

01/13/2021

res·o·lu·tions: love ‘em or hate ‘em?

goals: for it or against it?

I don't quite "love" setting resolutions, not in the traditional sense anyway.

But I do believe you can't achieve your greatest goals without a firm “resolve” to smash them.

Which begs the question: which comes first? Setting resolutions or goals? The chicken or the egg?

(honestly, I have no clue)

What I do know is that it's time to declare VICTORY over the goals we have a firm resolve to achieve this year. I'm talking confidently setting them as though it's already happened.

Because if you don't BELIEVE that you can, then well, you won't. Period.

So whether you have a vision board of goals or laundry list of resolutions, all that matters is that you RESOLVE to make it happen and manifest that ish into existence.

Pumped yet?! Swipe left for 5 ways to SLAY your goals this year. Then save this post and come back to it again and again.

How can you OWN your outcome in 2021?

So much for leaving 2020 behind 🙄

But before letting disappointment and frustration sit in, let’s breakdown exactly HOW you can own your outcome, regardless of the circumstances.

Keep reading (and swipe left) for 3 quick tips:

1️⃣ Stay focused on what you CAN control, instead of dwelling on what you CANT.

👉🏽 Easier said than done, I know. But how we feel, respond, and react to things is something we can focus on with intention, one day at a time.

2️⃣ Know your brand values and stand in them.

👉🏽When you're feeling some type of way, always come back to your core values, your integrity, your desires, your why. Reset + recenter.

3️⃣ Count it all joy (James 1:2)

👉🏽 Trials stretch us. They mold us. They chisel away at who we were to better prepare us for what's to come.

👇🏾👇🏽👇🏿
And in case you need the reminder, you were made for such a time as this.

So don't stop now!

The world NEEDS you, now more than ever.

🙌🏼 Agreed?

I hate watching the news.

So yesterday, I had no clue what was going on until late in the evening and when I saw pictures of costumed characters inside the capitol, I legit thought it was a parody ... mocked up ...

When I saw photos of people climbing up the side of a GOVERNMENT building, I *reallllly* believed this was all fake...all some kind of hilarious “at least 2020 didn’t come to this” joke.

BUT NO.

🤢This is real life. And it makes me sick to my stomach.

It’s been so hard to put how I’m feeling into words so I’ll just say this:

👉🏽 Our hope and faith should never rest in hands of a man or a government or a country (yesterday proved that more than ever)

>>Instead, it should only—and always—be in the hands of our creator

So yesterday, I had no clue what was going on until late in the evening and when I saw pictures of costumed characters inside the capitol, I legit thought it was a parody ... mocked up ...

When I saw photos of people climbing up the side of a GOVERNMENT building, I definitely thought this was all fake...all some kind of hilarious “at least 2020 didn’t come to this” joke.

BUT NO.

👀 Look ma, we made it!

We made it to 2021. From a global pandemic and toilet paper crisis to a racial revolution and heated political election.

😅 We made it.

From the weirdest school year our kids will ever have to maxing out wifi plans for endless meetups.

Look ma…

🌎 From doubts and fears on our jobs and careers to abundance and fulfillment making an income AND an impact that’s changing the world.

Yeah, we made it.

🙏🏽 Made it through imposter syndrome and limiting beliefs to releasing our grips and trusting God with the outcome.

Look ma …

👏🏽 We GET TO chase our biggest dreams for the next generation of leaders and lead by example while they get a front row seat to the hustle and flow.

🙌🏼 We made it.

And despite the ups and downs of 2020, the unknowns of 2021, and the reality that all of the above might be on rinse and repeat yet again, still we stand...

💪🏽 Strong

💆🏽‍♀️ Collected

💫 Boundless

🔥 Courageous

🤨 Determined

🌎 Ambitious

🙏🏽 Faith-filled

🤑 Abundant

And we’re ready for everything 2021 has in store because one year from now, we’ll no doubt be saying this even louder for the people in the back:

Look ma, we made it (again!)

Tag a friend below who’s made it through 2020 with you and celebrate the New Year together 👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

🥂 Who’s ready to paaaaaarty?!

Jk, Jk.

3 kids and a never-ending pandemic = a new year’s eve night in.

That doesn’t mean you can’t still live your best life with the people you love most.

That’s pretty much what this entire year has been, hasn’t it?

✨ Making the most of our circumstances with the people that matter

✨ Pivoting to create new opportunities for impact and community

✨ Finding the joy wherever you can so you never lose that spark for life

So yes, this New Year’s Eve may look different and yeah, there’s nothing magical about tomorrow...

So make the most of today!

🥂 Reflect back with a heart of gratitude

🥂 Celebrate any and all good that did come to you this year

🥂 Have a drink (or two) and dance the night away in your living room

Then welcome in 2021 like the that you are 😘

Drop a 🥂in the comments if you’re with me!

(p.s. the hubs and i did not plan these photos ... we just clearly think alike 😂 )

I’m busy ✌🏽 Except...

It’s the kind of busy I haven’t been all year. I’m busy taking naps ... binging on ... and using my Christmas bath bombs 🛁

Busy listening to books while watching my son play Madden 🏈 ... reflecting on a crazy year with a heart of gratitude over a nightly glass of wine ... and it’s hard work!

Sounds silly but I’m dead serious—slowing down is harrrrrrd for me. In full transparency, it can sometimes bring up anxiety, fomo, uneasiness, and all sorts of self-doubt...

But there’s a difference between FEELING some type of way and BELIEVING the stories you’re telling yourself.

So instead, take it as a sign to rest even more... lean on God’s truths, not fleeting thoughts ... and to make it a point to be busier in 2021 with more of what makes life beautiful — spicy margs and all 🍹

What are you up to this week?! 👇🏽

🎄From our family to yours, wishing you a very Merry Christmas! May your day be filled with lots of love, joy, hope, and peace.

🌟 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

🎁 What if you gave yourself the gift of white space this Christmas?

Real, raw, soul-filled rest (not the 60 second “breathing” rests prompted by your apple watch)

💆🏽‍♀️ Where you meditate, reflect, recenter your focus. Where you declutter your mind and reprioritize your purpose and mission.

We all know 2020 has been a year, to say the least 🙈

So here’s my wish for you this Christmas eve eve:

❌ Stop the hustle...just for a bit.

And give yourself the white space you deserve to rest, get refreshed, and fill your cup.

Remind yourself of the blessings that filled your year, even through the storms.

🙏🏽 Breathe in grace, breathe out gratitude.

Repeat after me: I deserve it 💕

👇🏽 How are you incorporating rest this holiday season?
