Dear Baby Boy, When I was pregnant with your sister, I was in a very different place in my life. I believe God truly showed up and wrecked my life in all of the right ways when I got pregnant with her. I felt like God was offering me a second chance in life. A [...]
A few weeks ago, I had the chance to speak to a sports management class at Pepperdine University. During my time speaking, an extremely bright young girl asked a very valid question--one that I really wish didn't have to be a topic of conversation in and of itself. She asked how you can implement your [...]
Have you ever heard the mantra “get comfortable with being uncomfortable”?

For some reason, we think that we need a scheduled starting point in order to implement something new into our lives. One of the crowd favorites is "someday", which as we know, [...]
